HIE ONLY HAPPY MAN
The Every Day, Easy Going: Man
is the Fellow Who Really
Enjoys Living.
The happiest man in the world
is the every day go-as-you-please
fellow without and frills ; the man
who works and pays his bills and
has the respect and confidence of
his fellow met ; the man who lays
aside a little rn^ney as he peisues
the even pathway to the goal and
looks with due regard of the wel
fare of his soul. The man who al
ways has sufficient food and cloth
ing for himself and family, all the
necessities of life, but does not
tty to get a corner on the output
of the earth and own all the trans
portation and navigation contain
ed therein, lie never expects to
wear out the following part ot his
pants in the Senate chamber or on
a seat in the stock exchange ; and
when he slides into his clothes in
the morning does not waste an
hour or two ia trying to select the
proper tint of socks, suspenders
and neckties that will blend the
general effect. He earns his daily
bread by tne perspiration of his
manly brow or by the gray matter
of his brain.
He eats three meals per diem,
and enjoys what he eats, and is
not compelled to sit up half the
night dosing himself with patent
medicines to cure dyspepsia or
putting poultices on his conscience.
This kind of a man is happy, be
cause he does not spend his life
looking for something that is loo
'large for hi$ caliber, and conse
quently is not emlvttered by con
templating a past (hat is full of
. n a. tie red hopes and blighted am
bition.
A Close Call.
Sherman Helton, of the Oil
Trough neighborhood, tanked up
and got a little unruly last Friday
and Marshal Freeze took him in
tow. Helton decided that he did
n't want to go to the caliboose and
Nightwatchman Abe Mayhan and
others were assisting the marshal
to get the prisoner started off.
They were at Magness’ saloon and
ns Mr. Freeze stepped out of the
door Helton tripped him in some
manner and he fell. This caused
his gun to drop and strike the con
crete walk with such force as to
KIDNEY CURE.
There is no disease so insinuat
ing, so slow hut sure, as kidney dis
ease, or so wide-spread. The symp
toms are so slight as to generally
escape notice.
The tlrst indications appear in
the urine, with varied effects. The
quautity may bo increased or de
creased; it is likely to be highly col
ored and scalding; it may be pale
or thin, or thick and milky with a
sediment. Later on more pro
nounced symptoms will be present,
such as dizziness, bloating, etc.,
with marked bladder and urinary
disorders.
Poisonous waste matter Is collected
by tbe blood from all parts of the sys
tem and carried to tbe kidneys, where
It U separated and cast out through the
urine. The kidneys deal with the blood
only, deriving nourishment there
from. Hence, if the blood is bad the
kidneys are not only overworked, bu.
underfed. How necessary is it, there
fore, that the purity ami vitality of the
blood should bo maintained. It is plain
why the great blood purifier and
strengthener-Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic—
has been successfully used In treating
kidney diseases and in preventing same.
In purifying the blood the kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organa. The following letter tells
a very old story:
Pink Knot, Ky., June 25,1902.
The Dr. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, O.
Gentlemen: I had a severe case of
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys In bad order. I have tried
a number of remedies and taken treat
ment from doctors, but Dr. Harter's Iron
Tonic has done me more good than
everything elso. C. Cordell,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are thousands of just such
cases as tho above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr. Cordell’s
condition resulted from an exhaust
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder Dr.
Harter’slron Tonic prompt lycured,
because it purified and enriched the
blood, and such blood carried new
strength and vitality directly to the
kidneys and to all the org».ns.

cause it to tire. The bullet went
through Night watchman Abe May
ban’s right arm just below the el
bow and passed up in such close
proximity to W. T. Magness’ head
as to slightly burn his nose. It
was a pretty close call for Mr.
Magness. The officers succeeded
in landing the disturber in the lock
up and he was later arraigned be
fore the mayor and fined. Mr.
Mayhan is still carrying his arm
in a sling but the wound is healing
nicely and will soon be all right.
“Just One Little Year Ago.”
One year ago tomorrow, Nov
ember 22, The Journal began its
career in Newark, and as we look
back over the year just gone a mul
titude of thoughts arise; some of
sorrow and some of gladness. Dur
ing the year just closed we have
realized more than ever that it is
no joke to publish a country news
paper, and, as we have said on pre
vious occasions, it requires an im
mense amount of perseverance to
do so. At times everything moves
along nicely, while at other times
it requires tact, diplomacy, per
severance, gall and eighteen hours
work a day to keep the wolf from
the door. But on the whole the
people of Newark have treated The
Journal kindly and patronized it
liberally.
During our first year’s labor in
Newark we have witnessed many
changes, among the most impor
tant of which was the organization
of the Bank of Newark, the erec
tion of the telephone system and
the building of that handsome two
story structure the, Hotel Winnie.
Also the awful scene of destruc
tion on that memorable morning,
the 3rd of Juue, when the heart
of the best business block in town
was burned to the ground. Then,
with adegree of satisfaction known
only to lovers of home enterprise
and an indomitable spirit of prog
ress, watched the town arise from its
bed of ashes, and, with renewed
energy, take up the battle and go
forward in the ever onward march
of progress. We have watched
with a pardonable degree of pride
the commercial expansion of the
town and have the satisfaction of
knowing that it is recognized today
as one of the best towns in North
Arkansas.
In the year just closed The Jour
nal has made many friends and
some enemies. To our friends we
extend our cordial and sincere
thanks for any and all favors
shown us, and to our enemies we
have only to say that, if we have
made enemies, it has been through
an open and frank expression of
our opinion on public questions,
therefore we feel that we owe apolo
gies to no one, and shall continue
to fearlessly and openly express
our opinion on questions of pub
lic interest at any and all ti mes.
In entering upon our second
year’s work we shall make no
promises to lightly cast aside. You
know what The Journal has been
during the past year, judge its fu
ture by the past. We thank our
friends for their liberal patronage
in the past and hope to merit a
more liberal patronage in the fu
ture.

PHOLONU HUMAN LIFE
Chicago Professor Thinks He Has
Discovered a Way to Pro
long Human Life.
%_
A new discovery in relation to
the prolonging of human life has
just been announced by Prof. Jac
ques Loeb of the University of
Chicago. While lie is preparing
to lake a position at the Universi
ty of California, Prof. Loeb and
his corps of scientists have shed
a new light on the problem which
has occupied the biologist for
years.
The “elixir of life,” discovered
by Dr, Loeb two years ago to be
efficient in making turtles' hearts
beat again with rhythmic throbs,
lias been found to be a powerful
restorative for dying mammals,
and the scientist is a step nearer
toward the goal of prolonging
human life indefinitely.
The experiments of which Dr.
Loeb told his class were made by
Assistant Prof. Edward P. Lyons
in the laboratories at the univer
sity. While Dr. Lyons’ experi
ments were carried on with the
idea of ascertaining the properties
of solution of sodium and calcium
as a life restorer, the announce
ments made by u Russian special
ist some tunc ago regarding ex
periments made with the heart of
a dead child are said to huvo been
the immediate motive.
‘‘If a heart can be taken from a
baby after death, and the regular
heat temporarily restored by im
mersing it in our “solution” ar
gued Dr. Lyons, “why cannot the
heurt of warm blooded animals be
restored by an injection ot salts
into the veins, it' done when the
animal is at the point uf death?”
Dr. Lyons began ids experi
ments with the lowest forms of
mammal life, mice, then dogs and
cats* Taking the animals kept in
the University of Chicago labor
atory for experiment, be gave
them such treatment as would
bring them to a condition where
life was practically extinct. Then
by injections of sodium uud cal
cium solutions into the veins of
the failing mammals he was able
to restore for varying periods of
time the heart beat in its normal
rhythm and strength.
The experiments were complet
ed several weeks ago, but not un
til Dr. Loeb spoke of the ina'ter
in illustrating a point to his class
in physiology had it been given to
the public.
What the next step will be, the
scientists refuse to say. They
will, they say, proceed with their
experiments, and believe that
human life may be prolonged.
Mother
Lost Reason After
LaGrippe.
Daughter Had Fre
quent Spasms.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine Cured
Them Both.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is a specific for nervous
disorders. It removes the cause and effect*
a speedy and permanent cure.
“I feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of
nine, of spasms. She commenced having them
at the age of three. Our family doctor said
she would outgrow them but she did not.
We took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in a mild form.
He did her no pood either, she was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As I had
already used Dr. Miles' Nervine and found
it a good remedy for myself I commenced
giving it to my child. I gave her in all teu
nottles of the Nervine and one of the Blood
funder. That was over two years ago and
she has not had an attack since we com
meuced the treatment. She is no longer
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured, I enclose her pic
ture. My mother in-law lost her reason and
was in ane for three months Bom the effects
of l.aGrippe. Six bottles of Dr. Miles’ Ner
vine cured her. My sister has also taken it
for sick headache with good results. We all
thank yeu very much lor your good medi
cines and kind advice. I don't think there
is any other medicine half so good. I send
my daughter’s photograph so that you may
see what a sweet little girl lives out in
Arkansas.” —Mrs. Hannah BARKrrr,
