Conserving Poultry Products
Will Help Uncle Sam Win War
At this time, when food pro
ducts are to play such an im
portant part in the winning oJ
the war it is the patriotic duty
of everyone to become a pro
ducer of such products. Poul
try and egg products may not
be used in the trenches very
largely but they will take the
place of other products in the
diet of those of us who are
behind the trenches, thereby
allowing bacon and such other
products to go to the fighting
men.
Increased poultry and egg
production can be brougt
about more quickly than the
production of other animal
products. The city man can
do his bit as well as the farm
er. The recent ruling of the
food administration prohibit
ing the sale for slaughter of
hens and pullets during the
mating season, will do much to
increase the stock of both eggs
and poultry.
It Is not enough, however,
that we increase production,
We must also see to it that
these products reach the con
sumer in such condition that
they may be consumed with
the least possible waste. It
has often been said that the
American people are the most
wasteful people on earth. If
this is true, the present war
should do much to get them
out of this habit. The loss and
waste of poultry and egg pro
ducts in the United States
through improper handling and
packing is sufficient in itself to
make the business unprofitable
The old methods must be re
placed by new7 and up-to-date
i ones.
It should be the patriotic
duty of all those who may be
handling and packing eggs,
either cn the farm or in a com
mercial way to help improve
; these conditions. It is claimed
I that Arkansas eggs have a bad
reputation at commission cent
ers. Let us try and put Ark
ansas in the front rank as far
as quality is concerned by
putting into practice improved
'methods of handling and pack
I ing eggs.

DON’T RISK NEGLECT
Don’t neglect a constant backache,
sharp, darting pains or urinary dis
orders. The danger of dropsy or
Bight’s disease is too serious to ig
nore. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills as
have many of this locality. A Wal
nut Ridge case.
Charles W. Moore, Walnut Ridge
Ark., says: “I have used many kid
ney medicines, but have found Doan's
Kidney Pills far superior to the rest.
At one time my kidneys were weak
and Doan’s greatly strengthened
them. Another of the family has
also taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and
has been relieved of a long-standing
case of kidney trouble.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
S to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
I bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi
tively rid one's feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened ealhis. If your
1 druggist hasn’t any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

WOMEN MAY VOTE
IN MAY PRIMARY
Democratic State Committee
Amends Rules in Compli
ance With New Law
The Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, at a meeting
held in Little Rock last Mon
day, changed the party rules
so as to make the 1917 poll tax
the proper equipment for the
voter who expects to cast his
ballot at the state primary in
May. This amendment was
made, following an opinion by
Attorney General J. D. Ar
buckle that the poll tax piad n>
T918 should be required at the
state primary now that the
date of the primary has been
changed from March to May,
under the Brundidge primary
law.
One result will be to permit
women to vote in the May
primary. To complete this
change the rule referring to
“all male voters” was changed
to read “all male and female
voters.
The date of the State Con
vention was fixed for July 10.
It will be held in Little Rock.
April 15 was selected as the
last day for filing fees and
pledges.
There will be 697 delegates
to the state convention. Ras
ed on the number of votes cast
in each county for governor at
the general election in 1916,

The Clerk of the County
Former Newark Boy Sees Ger
man Air Raid On London
Fred I). Williang Jr., who
formerly lived in Newark when
his father, Fred D. Whiting
was in business here about 12
years ago, witnessed a German
air raid on London on January
29.
Young Whiting whose home
is now in Oklahoma City,
where his father is in business,
enlisted in the U. S. Navy last
May as an electrician, and was
recently assigned to service in
the war zone. The following
:n regard to the young man is
clipped from the Daily Okla
homan of last Friday.
“Within three days after
reaching London on January 29
Fred D. Whiting jr-, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred D. Whiting
of 1116 West Thirty-first
street, “had the pleasure” of
witnessing an air raid by the
Germans, according to a let
ter received yesterday.
“Conditions in London are
not half as bad as they are
pictured in America and the
soldiers are treated royally” he
declared.
“Whiting who is only 18
years old, enlisted in the jiavy
May 4, 1917, and '.vas assign
ed to the electrical school at
Brooklyn navy yard. He was
one of fifty students there to
be sent to the Harvard Uni
versity School at 'Cambridge,
Mass., where he graduated
November 23. He was one of
the fifteen out of the fifty to
be sent to New London, Conn.,
for a still higher course in el
ectricity which has to do with
detecting the presence of sub
marines.
“At the time he enlisted
Whiting was a sophmore in the
high school.”
A Comparison of German and
American Farming Efficiency
The searchlight of war has
brought out many interesting
facts, and one of these is that
the vaunted German efficiency
will not always stand the test
of comparison with American
efficiency.
The Germans boasted of
being the greatest farmers on
earth. Investigation shows
that in efficiency in agriculture
measured by the produce per
acre, America being graded at
100, Belgium leads the world
at 205; Great Britain comes
second, at 164; and Germany
third, at 155; America comes
fourth.
But the better test is the man
test rather than the acre test,
and here America leads the
world by over 2 to 1. Again,
grading America at 100 per
farm worker. Great Britain
produces 43 and Germany 41.
The America farmer cultivates
27 acres, the German farmer
but 7. With the aid of vast
quantities of fertilizer the Ger
man produces more per acre,
but he produces at a much
larger cost per bushel and he
produces much less than half
as much per man.
CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a day’s work.
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle
of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is a harm
less vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten
you up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It’s harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it.
Court at the time of making
settlement with the collector,
shall carefully examine the
record of tax receipts as kept
'by the Collector, and shall
charge the Collector with a
sum equal to ten per cent of
all tax records recorded after
the 10th day of April.
All persons are requested to
have deeds or tax receipts con
taining a correct description of
their lands so errors may be
avoided in making tax receipts.
Where I have more than one
lay in a township, I reserve the
right to leave soon after noon
of the last day.
S. D. LINDSEY,
Collector.

NATION IS “DRYING UP”
Nearly four-fifths of the
counties in the United States
are “dry” according to a report
of the board of temperance of
the Methodist church. The ex
act figuers are 2,371 “dry”
counties and 615 “wet” coun
ties, a gain of 88 for the prohi
bitionists. During the last year
Congress voted the District of
Columbia “dry” while New
Hampshire, Utah and Indiana
were added to the prohibition
column by legislative action
and New Meixco by a vote of
the people. Illinois closed the
saloons in its state capital and
New York added 127 towns to
its “dry” list.
-O
DON’T FORGET POLL TAX
Tax paying time expires long
before the next primary but the
matter should be impressed on
both men ahd women that if
they desire to vote in the pri
mary they must pay poll tax
this year. The new law re
quires every voter to hold a
1918 poll tax receipt before he
can cast a ballot.
