“ I don’t think there is a more anxious
time for parents than when their children
have croup. Without they are prepared
with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy they
must wait for the doctor and listen to the
choking, metallic cough and watch their
little one gasping for breath.
•>i
Y ou know the great clanger ot croup
is the formation of a false membrane in the larynx, and until this
is expelled relief cannot be obtained, and the spasmodic choking
continues. Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in frequent doses.
It will loosen this membrane and cause the child to expel it by
vomiting.
Chamberlain’s Coi'gh Remedy
is an absolutely safe and certain remedy for croup, and if given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the attack.”

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
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
bottle of freezone w'ill 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 callus. If your
druggist hasn’t any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

ARKANSASTO ENTER
THE LOAN BUSINESS
If Proposed Amendment No. 14
is Adopted Farmers May
Borrow from State
If the voters of Arkansas
adopt at the next election,
Amendment No. 14—which
has always been the hoodoo,
every amendment carrying
that number having been de
feated,—the state will virtual
ly go into the building and
loan business.
The Davis amendment, pro
viding for an Arkansas Rural
Credits Loan Fund, is an inter
esting document. The amend
ment provides first that the
Governor, Secretary of State,
and State Land Commissioner,
shall constitute a commission
which may issue bonds to the
extent of two per cent of the
assessed valuation of the state.
These bonds are to be sold at
par and bear four per cent in
terest. The commission then
loans to those who desire to
purchase lands, or pay off
mortgages on their property,
or to buy stock or equipment
at 5 per cent. The amendment
is strictly in the interest of the
small property owner, for it
limits the purchase to eighty
acres and the land must be
bought for home and agricul
tural purposes, and not for
speculation.
The state will issue bonds
only in blocks of $10,000,
though their denomination will
be $25, $100, $500 and $1000.
If there are applications for
loans the commission waits
until it has applications total
ing $10,000, when they will is
sue bonds and turn the pro
ceeds over to those desiring
loans.
The amendment provides
a system of payments, similar
to the building and loan com
panies, which cares for the in
terest and within a few years
will pay off the loan.
All kinds of safeguards are
thrown around the bill, and
while it is possible for the bor
rower to secure 75 per cent of
the value of the land, he for
feits his rights if he has given
false statements in his applica
tion for a loan.

PROPOSED LAW BARS
LIQUOR ADVERTISING
A bill that will prohibit any
paper, magazine, book, book
let or any printed matter of
any nature from being circula
ted in the State if it contains or
carries advertisements of liquor
was passed by the Arkansas
Senate Monday morning. It
will have the effect of keeping
many metropolitan papers and
a large number of the leading
periodicals from being circul
ated in Arkansas, because they
carry advertisement for liquor
concerns. An amendment by
Senator Edmondson to make
it include caffeines and habit
forming drinks was withdrawn.
The measure specifies that
no printed matter of any kind
with liquor advertising in it or
on it shall be circulated, sold or
given away in the state.

|| SATISFACTION AND ||
|| CONTENT ||
UIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIII
There are those who tell us
that we ought to be satisfied
but they are preacher of no
true gospel. The merchant ofj
Syracuse was juster when he
said:
“He that conmmends me to
mine own content
Commends me to the thing I
cannot get—”
For those who preach satis
faction are, whether they knew
it or not, apostles of stagnation.
Nothing in this universe of ours
is really stationary, unless per
haps the rocks—and not all of
the rocks are stationary. Or
ganic life means change. The
seed that is not satisfied grows
into a plant, the crying baby
into the six-footer. The cave
dweller would have remained
a stoneman had he been con
tented; and, whether we like
it or not, what we call civiliza
tion, with all its creeds and
crashes, its virtues and vices,
its sacrifices and selfishness, its
arts and its machines, its
brotherhoods and its wars, its
poverties and its progress, is
founded on the dissatisfaction
which makes for effort.
Dissatisfaction with change
able conditions, and, above all,
with conditions that it is worth
while for us to change, is the
ignition spark which sets the
engine to running—and if we
believe in engines we must be
lieve in the spark too.
Once in Palestine (so an old
tale runs) there were certain
men to whom a rich man going
on a journey intrusted coins
called talents—and the lesson
of it is for us all to read. He
who wras satisfied with what he
already had, won no praises at
all from that “hard man,” his
master; it was he w'ho gained
the “other five talents” who
was the “good and faithful ser
vant” and entered into joy.
Contentment with God’s
provision of the whole universe
for us to study and a whole
world to serve as our particul
ar workshop and play ground;
such contentment as this is wis
dom itself. Contentment like
this means containments—and
there are good reasons for it
in great richness; but satisfac
tion means persuading oneself
that one has, and is, enough;
and such a belief as that is
fatal to human growth or any
growth at all.

SHAFT TO HONOR
LATE JEFF DAVIS
Permission to use a site on
the Capital lawn at Little Rock
for a monument to the late
Senator Jeff Davis, once gov

by the Senate and likely will
be concurred in by the House
of Representatives.
It provides that friends of
the late statesman may use
some spot on the capitol
grounds for a monument.There
is no appropriation, the reso
lution merely stating that
friends contemplate raising
funds for the monument and
desire that it be placed near
the capitol.
