MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se
rious Consequences of Neg
lect. _
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow
<4 faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
'shake well and follow directions,’ and
resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre
quent intervals during the sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
"our times a week will do all of this, be

energy at the highest pitch. <
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where as a system tonic and bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital orgaus, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.

SIC MIM III TIME
CAUSES STRANGE EXPERIENCE
ON NEW YORK FRISCO LINE.
An Early Morning Call From New
York Will Most Likely Find
Frisco Man in Bed.
New York.—A New York business
man called the manager of his branch
house in San Francisco on the long
distance telephone at nine o’clock
(New York time) the other morning
and found him in bed asleep. It was
six a. m. in San Francisco when the
New Yorker lifted the receiver from
the telephone hook.
This peculiar incident was brought
about by the recent completion of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Company wires from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. This line wipes out three
hours of time and 3,400 miles of dis
tance between the two coasts.
When old Father Time heard the
first conversation over this line he
must have gasped! Many complica
tions may arise from the use of this
line. Suppose a San Frar*cisco cus
tomer should call the sales manager
of a big New York firm at live o’clock
in the afternoon (San Francisco time).
The answer might come back over the
wire that the New Yorker had gone
to the theater. The Californian sit
ting at his desk at the close of bis
work day would probably be advised
that the business man he wanted had
finished his work for the day. closed
his office, played a game of billiards,
gone home and had supper, dressed
for the evening and was at 'that min
ute attending the theater.
Prior to the completion of the San
Francisco line the longest distance
over which the voice cottid travel was
a little more than two thousand miles
—between New York and Denver.
The San Francisco line was planned
and constructed by the Experimental
and Research Department of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company, which is composed of five
hundred and fifty scientists and en
gineers. Although the expense of
maintaining this department, is very
great, its work has been of tremen
dous benefit to the public. It is respon
sible for many improvements in tele
phone apparatus by which the scope
of the service of the Dell System has
been broadened until now it covers
the entire territory of the nation.

State-Wide Search by Russellville
Operator Locates Party in
Fort Smith.
Fort Smith.—An interesting feature
of the work of long distance telephone
operators is the locating of people by
telephone whose whereabouts are un-'
known. This work is done to give
the public service wherever possible,
even though considerable expense is
incurred by the telephone company
in doing so.
An instance of tenacity and mental
alertness was given by an operator in
Russellville who followed a man all
over the state of Arkansas by tele
phone and finally found him at Fort
Smith after running down every clue.
The call was made by a Russell
ville subscriber who wanted to talk
with a man at Greenwood, Ark. The
party had left Greenwood and it was
reported that he had gone to Little
Rock, leaving no address. The Chief
Operator at Little Rock was consulted
and finally discovered that the man
had registered at the Merchants’ Ho
tel but had checked out again. The
hotel people thought he might have
gone to Hartford or Mansfield, and so
the willing telephone girl called up
Hartford and Mansfield. At S:30 that
night he had not registered at Hart
ford. and it was thought that he had
gone to Greenwood. The operator
tried Hartford. Mansfield. Greenwood
and Fort Smith, and finally located
the much-wanted party in a hotel at
Fort Smith.
Gertrude Reynolds, Chief Operator
at Russellville, Ark., was the girl who
refused to give up the call until she
had succeeded in completing it.

Texas Business Men Pass Resolutions
Following Fire.
Dallas, Tex.—The city council of
Mount Pleasant, Tex., has passed res
olutions of praise for the Southwest
ern Telegraph and Telephone com
pany because of its quick restoration
of service after a bad fire had de
stroyed most of the local and all the
long distance telephone connections
In that town. The resolutions de
clare, "That we extend our sincere
thanks to the Southwestern T. and T.
company, as represented both locally
and in the district, for the promptness
and skill with which the situation has
been handled, and the disposition
shown to relieve the inconvenience of
the public at the earliest moment pos
sible.’’
A local telephone man told of ,how
the company was enabled to restore
service so quickly in the following in
! tervlew:
"It would have been impossible to
I restore service so quickly in the case
of the Mount Pleasant fire had it not
been f&r the foresight of the company
that provides extra and even dupli
cate equipment at central points all
over the system. The cost is enor
mous and this equipment may lay for
years unused ’ But when fire, flood or
storm destroys an exchange or a long
distance line this precaution is justi
fied, for it enables prompt restoration
of service that without it would re
quire days and maybe weeks to re
store.’'
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN SELEC

Wlun hatching eggs with hoi -. it is
always desirable to select a quiet puux

in a shallow box or a barrel laid on its
side. It is preferable ;o nave this nest

before giving her the eggs to u>

It is especially advisable to make

the treatment after naie or ten days
to kill the lice that hatch. Provide
feed and water where t*io hen cm
leave the nest and g t to them easily.
Cracked corn and when# make a good
feed.
Selecting Eggs.
The purs lor hatching should bo
carefully selected from freshly laid
eggs that have not Iiku chilled. Wh"n
In ns are not laying manv eggs it is
advisable to put the eggs In dry
can, small end down, leaving the up
per end or air space uncovered. 1’im- •
the box in a cool place that will not
drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Sr
‘ect ' Kgs of uniform size, as they will .
not be broken as easily in the nest Do j
not pick the largest < ggs. Select the i
average sizes, avoiding thin, thick or I
irregular shells, ( so nine to 15 eggs*,
depending on the size of the hen.
Test the eggs about the tenth or
fourteenth day. This can he done by
holding them before a lamp light in a
dark rSnm, if an egg testpr is not av (li
able. Remove all clear eggs and sum
dark eggs as show the contents to bo
fluid, as these eggs will decay and if
broken iu the nest will prevent other
eggs from hatching.
Remove Bad Eggs.
It is advisable to remove all un
hatchable eggs, as It allows a better
chance for the fertile ones. When
hatching begins, generally on the
twenty-first day for hen eggs, if
the lien is quiet, leave the chicks until
all are hatched unless, the hen has a
tendency to leave the nest with the.
first few hatched. It is desidedly the
best to give the chicks water, hut with
hold feed for at least 4S hours.

OUR CANTALOUPE CULTURE
To Produce High Grade Product Use
Care in Selection of Seed.
Cantaloupes do best on a warm,
well-drained sandy loant soil. They
should he well supplied with humus,
but neither excessively rich nor of
heavy clay. The ground should be
thoroughly prepared and deep fall
pitywing is a good practice. Clover,
loepedeza and alfalfa are good crop?
to precede melons.
Many costly mistakes axe made by
growers using poor seed. Do not try
to tell good seed from the looks, but
buy it from a reliable seed grower
even if it is necessary to pay $1.00 to
$1.50 a pound.
Cantaloupes are usually planted in
lulls four by six feet, and six by six
feet In size. It has been found a good
practice to place a shovelful of well
rotted stable manure in each hill,
being sure that the manure and soil
are thoroughly mixed. Plant from
eight to 10 seed in each hill, scatter
ing the seed over about one square
foot of space and placing them about
one inch deep. When they come up,
thin to three and four plants per hill.
It is not difficult to produce canta
loupes, but it is not an easy task to
produce high grade cantaloupes and
then pack and market them success
fully. Those interested in gi-owins
cantaloupes commercially should write
to the experiment Station. Fayette
ville, Ark., for further details.

SUDAN VS. JOHNSON GRASS.
Farmers of Conway county this
spring will plant a considerable acre
age in Sudan grass, and are purchas
ing their seed from sources where no
Johnson grass is grown, according to
J. T. Sloan, county agent. Some of
the plantings will run as high as five
acres.
The hog enjoys clean surroundings

much as a hen or the horse or the

kind of comfort. This doesn't neces

VARIETY TYPES OF PALATABLE

The peanut grows nest on well
drained, loose, sandy loam soils of
medium fertility, which should ho
prepared thoroughly, this will rnak'
less work in caring for the growing
crop. >
When barnyard manure is used as
a fertilizer it should be applied to
tlu preceding crop that the peanuts
may get the resultant effect. Com
mercial fertilizer may be applied in
the bed of the row just previous to
the planting of the crop. Apply 200
to 500 pounds of commercial fertilizer
containing two per cent of nitrogen,
i> per cent of phosphoric acid and i
to 5 per cent of potash. The per cent
os nitrogen should be increased if a
previous grec n manure crop lias not
been turned under. Soils low in lime
should receive an application of 500
to tioo pounds of lime1 to encourage
propc r ripening of I lie fruit.
Variety Types.
There ai'e two general variety types
of pcnnufs; iliose with large ports, ttie
Virginia Runner and the Virginia
Bunch type iinrt those with small ports,
{spantsh and Tennessee Itert type. The
Virginia type is used chiefly for roast
ing purposes; the other are recom
mended for oil content and as forage.
The Spanish is the commercial va
riety for Arkansas.
Only the very best of the crop
should lie saved for seed and planted
in a special patch. An ideal plant
should produce a large number of
pods well filhd with seed, uniform in
size, siiape and color. The large pod
varieties of peanuts are always shelled
before planting, care being used not
to break t*;e seed covering. Spanish
jxanut: may he planted with or with
out the pod To hasten germination,
soak the pods a few hours just pre
vious to planting. Plant in rows 2 to
-Vj feet apart, with the plants 6 to 12
inches apart in a row, depending upon
the variety.
Marking Off Field.
In planting mark the field off in
rows as in corn planting, and use a
one-horse planter similar to the one
horse cotton planter. For hand plant
ing open up the rows with a small
shovel marker and drop in seed at
proper distance. Cover to a depth
of 1T2 to 2 inches. Begin cultivation
with a harrow as soon as the crop is
planted. After the crop is well up.
start cultivating between the rows
with a small shoveled cultivator and
keep tlie soil in a loose condition for
pod setting. It is desirable to force
loose dirt with cultivator up to the
plant, hut do not cover the vines.

HIS SIGN
A little boy was walking
down the strets of a town where
whiskey was sold when he saw
the town drunkard lying in the
gutter in front of a saloon.
He called out to the saloon
keeper to come to the front.
The saloon keeper did so and
said,“Well what do you want?”
The little fellow pointed to
the drunk man and said,“I .just
wanted to tell you that your
sign had fell down.”—Ex.
