15 YEAR OLD LAD
SAVES TWO LIVES
Pope County Boy Rescues
Mother and Sister From
Burning Building.
Russellville, May 30.—An j
act of herioism which will be
reported to the Carnegie Hero
Commission was performed by
15-year-old Julius Matthis in
the vicinity of Piney, near the
western border of Pope county,
last week. The boy’s mother,
Mrs. E. Mathis, was at home
with her seven children when
the house caught fire while they
were sleeping. The mother
was first to awaken and discov
er the flames, and she and Jul
ius made their escape with five
smaller children. The roof was
crumbling in when it was dis
covered that the eldest daugh
ter, 13 years old, was missing.
The mother returned to the
burning building. When she
did not return promptly Julius
cautioned the five smaller
children to remain at a safe dis
tance, and go to the nearest
neighbor’s if he did not return,
and then plunged into the
crumbling building to the res
cue. He found his mother lying
prone across the body of her
daughter, both unconscious.
With an effort born of despair,
the boy dragged them both to
safety, and then fell complete
ly exhausted from his task. He
was burned nearly all over his
body, but soon regained con
sciousness and turned his at
tention to resuscitating the
mother and sister, both of
whom were badly burned.

CLAY COUNTY FARMER
HANGS SELF IN BARN
Corning May 29.—John W.
Johnson, 59 year old, a well-to
do farmer, in the Antioch set
tlement, north of Corning, end
ed his life yesterday morning
by hanging himself with a
rope from a rafter in his barn.
Ill health is said to have been
the cause. He came here about
five years ago from Michigan
City, 111.
EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT IT MEANS.
Many thousands of women are now
a-days paying attention to physical cul
ture ami the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The j
reason the Greeks, both men and I
women, excelled in beautiful and sym- |
metrical forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the proper exer
cise. Then, too, they were untram
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical i
exercise conveys only the idea of hard j
fatiguing work. Mild exercise con
tinued day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value of Dr. 1’ierce’s
Favorite Prescription than that it re
stores the wasted form to its wonted
roundness.
The mighty restorative power of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription speedily
causes all womanly troubles to disap
pear—compels the organs to properly
perform their natural functions, cor
rects displacements, overcomes irregu
larities, removes pain and misery at
certain times and brings back health
and strength to nervous, irritable and
exhausted women.
It is a wonderful prescription pre
pared only from Nature’s roots with
glycerine, with no alcohol to falsely
stimulate. It banishes pain, headache,
backache, low spirits, hot flashes, drag
ging-down sensations, worry and sleep
lessness surely and vvithout loss of time.
Sick women are invited to consult l)r.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CURING BALKY HORSE
Experienced Horseman Tells of
Simple Little Trick Which
He Says Works Successfully
The following1 article by Al
fred H. Pope, on “Curing a
Balky Horse,” appeared in a
recent issue of “Our Dumb
Animals” and is re-published
in The Journal with the hope
that it may prove beneficial to
some of our readers who may
some time have to deal with a
balky horse.
“Of all vices that equine
flesh is hmr to, the most an
noying to the average horse
owner is balking. The main
reason is that so few know how
to handle a balky horse.
“The little simple trick I am
going to describe and that has
proved so satisfactory in so
many cases is not intended to
break the horse of balking
which in most cases involves a
lot of time, patience, and more
or less thorough knowledge of
horse nature, but rather to help
you get a start in the direction
of getting results that will lead
to a complete cure if your horse
is properly handled.
“A horse has only one idea
in his head at a time, and when
he balks he has decided not to
go any further with that par
ticular load, and coaxing and
patting are not sufficient to
cause him to think of anything
else. Whipping only makes him
more stubborn and determined
not to move. Now we have got
to find something that will give
him something else to think
about.
“All horses hate to have
their ears hampered. In fact no
horse ever decides upon a dif
ferent course of action without
first moving its ears from the
normal position, and here isthe
key to the whole idea. As soon
as it balks get down from the
seat and deliberately take one
ear and push it under the
crown piee-' of the bridle so
that it is last and leave the
horse to its own devices for a
few minutes.He will commence
shaking his head and doing ev
erything he can think of to get
that ear loose, until he has for
gotten all about balking, and
his whole thought s are centered
upon freeing that ear. Now let
the driver get back on the wag
on. call on the horse to start,
and off he goes. I have proved
this trick to be successful with
horses that thought it nec
essary to buck and pitch. Leave
the ear where it is for about
twenty minutes, then stop and
tree it. Let the horse have time
to shake his head and be satis
fied that everything is all right
again, and off lie will go as
pleasantly a? possible.
“As 1 said before, this trick
will not break a horse from
balking, but it will invariably
start one that has balked on the
road, provided he hasn’t al
ready been whipped and abus
?d to a point where nothing
matters.”

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES VOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
day’s work.
Tliore’s no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn’t make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your hones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to- j
morrow. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver Tone in
stead and von will wake up feeling great.
Xo more biliousness, constipation, slug

stomach. Your druggist says if you
don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts bet

PLAN SUGGESTED TO
END EUROPEAN WAR
Resolution introduced in U. S.
Senate to Pave Way For
Terms of Peace in Europe.
Washington, May 30.—A re
solution requesting President j
Wilson, unless incompatible1
with the public interest, to sug
gest to warring nations of Eu
ope that the United Statesmed
iate between the combatants
has been introduced in the sen
ate by Senator Lewis.
The resolution would auth
orize the president to propose
that the belligerents declare a
truce and that each of them
select a neutral country as its
representative on a board of
arbitration thus created ; each
selected neutral would name
one member of the board over
which would be authorized to
arrive at an equitable adjust-j
merit.
The resolution recites that it
is suggested as an expression
of the desire for world peace
and not of favoritism for any
of the belligerents.
President Wilson told callers
that the intervention of a neu
tral in behalf of peace in Eu
rope could rest only on a mu
tual understanding by the bel
ligerents that terms to be ar
ranged are to conserve the in
terests of ail, and of the world
at large, rather than those of a
particular nation or group of
nations among the warring
powers.
President Wilson did not dis
close any definite plan ofaction
he may have formulated in re
gard to Deace, nor authorize a
formal statement of his atti
tude.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
IN FARM CONDITIONS
Growth of Agrcultural Club
Work Among Young Farm
ers Marks Progress of State
The growth of the agricul
tural club work in the state is
one of the most striking phases
of the New Agriculture in Ark
ansas. It is an index to the im
proved methods that are more
and more becoming the rule
among tillers of the soil in this
state. The government has
placed experts at the head of
the various departments of this
work, and they have won the
confidence and co-operation of
Arkansas farmers to an extent
that was not considered possi
ble two years ago. Having dem
onstrated their ability to help
the farmers, they are now ac
cepted as one of the most im
portant factors in the develop
ment of Arkansas farming in
terests.
There are 113 employes in
the various branches of the
work in the state, all operating
under the direction of the Ag
ricultural Extension Service of
the State University.
It is encouraging to note that
boys’ corn clubs have been or
ganized in 69 counties, with a
total membership of 3100.
There are Pig Clubs in fifty
counties, with two thousand
members. There are 600 boys
enrolled in the Cotton and Pea
nut Clubs.
I here are girls canning
clubs in :> 1 counties, with 2500
members. There are 800 enroll
ed in the poultry clubs, and
about 1700 in the Home Dem
onstration work.
This makes a total of about
nine thousand boys and girls
enlisted in (he cause of improv
ed agricultural methods, com
pared with only 5500 last year.
There are also about a thou
sand negro boys and girls or
ganized in clubs.
These rapidly increasing
army of young men and women
brought up under expert in
struction will soon dominate
the agricultural interests of
the state, taken together with
the graduates of the four agri
cutural schools, and the thou
sands who are every year tak
ing the summer courses from
the University Extension teach
ers. Such an army as this of
educated farmers, trained in
diversification, intensive culti
vation, crop rotation, co-opera
tive marketing, and conserva
tion will soon remake the state
ot Arkansas. No longer are the
forces engaged in this work
looked upon as interlopers or
scot fed at as “book farmers,”
but their advice and assistance
is sought and followed. And
the state is the gainer.
