A GOOD WHITEWASH
Directions for Making Best
Grade for Farm
An excellent whitewash for
t.i in buildings, fences, fruit
n 1 shade trees can lie made
itoni the following recipe
w hich is recommended by the
! government for whitewashing
lighthouses and other buildings
where a lasting whitewash is
required.
Slake one-half bushel of lime
in a covered vessel filled with
boiling water. Add one peck
of salt dissolved in warm water
three pounds of ground rice
boiled to a i bin paste, one-half
! <■ uid of Spanish White, and
« ne pound of clear glue pre
viously dissolved by soaking in
cold water. To this mixture
add five gallons of water.
Let the mixture stand three
or four days before using.
When ready to apply, the mix
ture should be heated and used
while hot. A more lasting
finish is secured when the mix
ture is applied hot than when
it is applied cold.
TWO BURN TO DEATH
i
Mother and Daughter Victims
of Accidental Burns
Clinton, May 26.—Oil used
to start a fire, which exploded
as it was being poured from a
can into a stove, caused the
death of Mrs. L. B. McGlath,
ery, wife of the proprietor of
the McGlathery hotel at Shir
ley, and her small daughter,
Bee.
The mother died at 1 o’clock
Thursday afternoon, the child
a few hours earlier. The child,
aged 5 lay on a pallet near the
stove and when the explosion
occurred was enveloped in
1 lames a the same time as her
mother. Both were horribly
burned. It is said the oil was
ignited by a few embers in the
stove which Mrs. McGlathery
did not notice.
W-K-K-S
Pains
Were
Terrific
Read how Mrs. Albert
Gregory, of R. F. D. No.
1, Bluford, 111., got rid of
her Ills. ‘‘During ... I
wa® awfully weak . . .
My pains were terrific. 1
thought I would die. The
bearing-down pains were
actually so severe I could
not stand the pressure of
my hands on the lower
Fart of my stomach . . .
simply felt as it life was
for but a short time. My
husband was worried . ..
One evening, while read
ing the Birthday Alma
nac, he came across a
case similar to mine, and
went straight for some
Cardui for me to try.
TAKE
The Woman's Tonic
"I took it faithfully and
the results were immedi
ate/' adds Mrs. Gregory.
“I continued to get bet
ter. all my ills left me,
and I went through . . .
with no further trouble.
My baby was fat and
strong, and myself—thank
God—am once more hale
and hearty, can walk
miles, do my work,
though 44 years old, feel
like a new person. All I
owe to Cardui.” For
many years Cardui has
been found helpful In
building up the system
when run dewn by dis
orders peculiar to women.

SLOBBERING OVER
THE TAXPAYER
FROM THE STEPHENS NEWS
The biennial fiow of slobber
over the poor taxpayer is on.
Candidates, county state and
national, are taking the field
and all of them are shedding
crocodile tears over the condi
tion of taxpayers, and promis
j ing to reduce the burden if
elected to office. This old cry
has rung into the ears of the
people so long and often they
have quit paying any attention
io it for they do not believe it.
For ten years the people have
been fed up on this tax reduc
tion stuff without results until
they have become sick of it,
and the candidate who is hon
est enough to leave this fake
promise out of his platform
will not fool anybody if he con
tinues to follow the policy now
practiced in Arkansas.
“Tax reduction” is the bait
that will catch suckers, and the
politicians use it effectively. It
is the bait of rings and rings
ters and upon it they thrive.
No people have heard so
much about taxation and un
just taxes as the people of Ark
ansas. It has been pounded
into them continually every two
years for the last ten years,
yet it is eohting five million dol
lars more to run the state gov
ernment now than it cost nine
years ago. What the people
are getting out of it they know
not, only as some grafter is un
covered to show the nakedness
an drotteness of our system.
Not only is our taxation be
coming very burdensome, but
if certain politicians who are
candidates for high office are
successful they will be confis
catory. We little wonder at
the slump in property valuation
as returned to the assessor, as
a failure to assess property as
it should be assessed is the only
weapon the citizen has to save
himself from being swallowed
up by the tax collector.
We put neither faith nor
confidence in the claims of poli
ticians running for office.
Merchants who advertise
their goods are not ashamed of
them. They want the world
to know that the merchandise
they sell is worth the money.
