Let's Make New
ark a Better Town
In Which to Live
This slogan has been adopt
ed by many of me towns in
Arkansas and the club women I
and business men are making i
an effort to improve their local J
conditions. In a great many j
places plans have been made ;
to improve the streets by grad
ing and dragging and by pro
viding proper drainage. Side
walks are being mended and J
street crossings put in. Back
yards and alleys will be clean
ed up as soon as possible. Ber
muda and blue grass will be
put in to cover up the bare
spots and trees will be planted
♦i^some of the streets. All of
these things a community can
do as a whole but without the
interest of the individual per
manent results cannot be ob
tained. If you believe in this
town and really want to make
it one of the best «n Arkansas,
do your share. Cleaning up is
one of the greatest factors, not
only in improving the appear
ance of a town but in conserv
ing the health of our people.
Now is the time to haul off the
manure and destroy the other
waste that afford good breed
ing places for the flies. Build
air-tight boxes for this refuse
and use lime frequently during
the summer months.Remember,
typhoid fever, next to tuber
culosis, kills more people in
Arkansas than any other dis
ease and that typhoid fever is
invariably spread through wa
ter contaminated by some fil
thy outhouses because of poor
drainage. One case of typhoid
fever may pollute the water
supply of several families and
carry off a number of good
citizens this year.February and
March are the best months for
making these improvements.

THE SENATE FAVORS
SEPARATE ELECTIONS
The upper house of the Ark
ansas legislature passed Mon
day afternoon by a vote of 17
to 15, a bill by Senator Mon
crief that will repeal the law
of 1915 for consolidated Fed
eral and State cdections in Ark
ansas. The so-called “black
counties” of the State want the
consolidated election measure
taken off the statutes, it was
declared, because they fear the
election of negro officers in
some of the “black counties.”

Children Like It
“You know it is not an easy matter to
get children to take medicine, and forcing
it on them does no good. Most mothers
know that a cough medicine, while palatable, should contain no
drug injurious to the child.
The great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is ex
plained by the fact that it contains no opium or narcotic of any
J- 'd, and at the same time is so pleasant and agreeable to the
taste that children like
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
For this reason alone it is a favorite with the mothers of young
children.”

LEGISLATURE WILL
ADJOURN MAACH 8
Only Few Working Days Left
Before Final Adjournment
Next Thursday
Little Rock, Feb. 27.—The
Legislature will adjourn sine
die at noon, Thursday, next
week.
And at once will begin the
active campaign all over the
state for the election of dele
gates to the Constitutional con
vention. In fact, many aspir
ants are already announcing
their platforms and getting in
to the race. There will be no
lack of material from which to
select the delegates who are
to write “the Constitution of
1918.” The important question
confronting the voters every
where will be, who is the best
man to represent us?
Care must be exercised to
prevent stocking the conven
tion with too many men of
any one class. There must be a
diversity of interests and pro
fessions, or the resultant docu
ment may not find favor at the
hands of the people to whom
it must be submitted for rati
fication.
A convention ot lawyers, or
corporation attorneys, or far
mers, or business men,or school
teachers would not be desir
able, but all of these should
have a chance to be represent
ed in a body of 114.
The drafting of a constitution
is a most serious proposition.
Deliberation is the first requi
site. Every idea must be weigh
ed deliberately and dispassion
ately, Ample time is given, no
time limit having been set. The
convention may be in session
for three months. Thousands
of propositions will probably
be presented that must be re
jected as radical or unfeasible.
The present constitution will
be taken as a basis for the new.
There are many provisions of
the organic law of 1874 that
cannot be improved upon. Pro
visions for conditions that have
since arisen, under the changes
that have come within the last
forty years, must be added to
meet the needs of an expand
ing industrial and commercial
commonwealth.
The one thing that must be
guarded against more than
any other is the Importunity of
the dreamer, the Utopian, the
extremist and the impracticable
socialist. The tendency of the
day has been toward a top
heavy paternalism, a restrictive
“thou shalt not” policy, rather
than a progressive “thou shalt”
program. The convention will
have to steer its course between
the Seylla of rampant social
ism, and the Charyodis of re
trogressive conservatism. On
the rocks of either it will go
to pieces. Hence the necessity
of choosing the wisest and
most level-headed men of each
community.

suffering from pains in my

Dizzy spells and headaches

acted irregularly. Doan’s Kid

BILIOUSNESS
When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and a terrible headache.
'Take Chamberlain’s Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever, bold everywhere, 25c.
Mrs. Emily E. Patchin, Charlotte,
N. Y., writes: “If there was ever a
person who appreciated the value of
Chamberlain’s Tablets it is I, for this
remedy cured me of a serious bilious
attack. I tried numerous remedies
but nothing relieved me until I began
taking Chamberlain’s Tablets. By us
ing five or six bottles of them I was
restored to perfect health." Chamber
