IMPERFECT DIET CAUSE OF MANY ILLS.
That an imperfect diet is the
cause of many human ills is the
opinion of eminent medica1 author
ities of America who believe that
by the proper selection of foods
these diseases may not only be
avoided but cures effected for
many individuals so afflicted. It
has been found by experimenting
upon animals that diseases corre
sponding to pellagra may be cured
by feeding the polishing of rice, the
outer coverings of wheat, corn and
other grains. That our people
may not only maintain Derfect
health but cure many of the com
mon diseases &kin to pellagra
through the application of this prin
ciple in human nutrition, is the
opinion of IViiss Ruth Peck, head of
the Home Economics department
of the University of Arkansas, who*
says that in dealing with pellagra
we should feed the family on Gra
ham bread and browned rice either
as a curative or preventative meas
ure. A dinner to be used in the
prevention of pellagra might be
made up of the following foods and
deserves the careful consideration
of those in districts known to be in
fested with this disease:
Scrambled Eggs
Graham bread Spinach, greens
Brown rice or baked potatoes
Apple and cabbage salad
Stewed prunes.
garden hints for February.
The following garden hints for
February are to be found in the
four-page circular on The Home
Garden, written by J. S. Knox,
horticulturist with the University.
This circular contains a complete
garden calendar for the year and
may be secured upon application to
the Extension Division, old state
house, Little Rock:
Prepare the hot beds and sow in
them early cabbage, lettuce, rad
ished and onions. In the southern
part of the state such crops as
spinach, kale, early peas, lettuce,
carrots and parsley may be planted
in the open. Early potatoes may
also be planted this month. If the
year’s seed supply has not been or
dered, get them at once. Such
roots as asparagus, rhubarb and
horse radish may be planted at this
time where the gardener uses the
roots for planting. Set out cab
bage and strawberries.
GET BREEDING STOCK IN CONDITION.
February and March are the
months in which we should get all
breeding stock in condition for the
season, is the opinion of J. H. Mc
Leod. livestock specialist with the
Extesion Division. Mr. McLeod
says: * “It would be a good thing to
add a little oats and bran to the
regular ration of the stallion if you
have been feeding him corn and
hay. All mares, cows and sows
will also benefit with a little addi
tional care and feed at this time.
It should be borne in mind, how
ever, that different animals require
different amounts and kinds of
feed. The ration should be varied
somewhat to suit individual needs
but this variation should be based
upon a close study of the animals
and determination of their require
ments. It will be aDparent that
different animals require different
amounts of feed, especially when
we remember that’growing animals
require more protein than mature
animals. In addition, all stallions
and mares should be given more
exercise. It will not hurt mares
and stallion that are to be used for
breeding purposes to put them into
regular spring work, and where
possible regular work for bo.h
classes of animals will be good for
j them.
In selecting mares for breeding
purposes, our farmers should avoid
old or worn out animals and they
should n»ver use ring boned and
spavined mares for breeding.
Mares in poor condition for raising
colts can never give the best re
sults. It has been tried too often
. and only disappointment awaits the
man who takes the time and
trouble to get a first class animal
from a poor mother. It cannot be
done. The selection of breeding
stock is of great importance in Ar
kansas. and if you are going to try
to raise better livestock, give this
problem most careful attentioo.'

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all Its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the iilood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing its work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Hollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

An Unbreakable Glass.
A glass having resiliency suffic
ient to withstand stones, bricks and
even bullets hurled against it was
invented recently. It consists of a
thin sheet of white, transparent
celluloid placed between two' pieces
of glass, all being welded together
under high temperature and great
pressure. A stone thrown against
it will bounce back' like a rubber
ball, it is said. For many years
Jena glassware from Germany was
i considered the best in Itie world:
recently, however, American chim
ists have discovered processes for
making a glass equal to that pro
duced in Jena.
What to bo.for Burns.
The very common practice of
holding a burn before the fire to
draw the heat out" is as foolish as
it is painful, says a bulletin just is
sued by the Arkansas Actuarial
bureau in which the proper treat
ments for burns, mild or serious,
are given.
The directions are not designed
to take the place of treatment by a
physician.
ror a burn affecting only the ex
ternal or horny layer of skin a good
household remedy is a teaspoonfia
of baking soda in a pint of water.
Soak cotton in the mixture and ap
ply. Air should be kept away from
t.he burn. A coating of sweet oil is
good. Some mothers use potato
scrapings for the same purpose.
Any burn, even though it only
reddens the skin, if it affects a
large area of the surface of the
body is dangerous, through the
shock it occasions. While a phy
sician is on the way the burned
area should be protected from air.
Such burns as these usually result
from gas or gasoline explosions.
Glothing over blistered skin
should be removed with great care
so as not break the blister. After
ward the blister should be pricked
with a clean needle, near the edge
of the blister and the dead skin
which formed should be protected
until new skin forms underneath.
Put carron oil on such burns. Soak
rags or cotton in the oil and place
on the burns. Carron oil, named
from the Carron iron works of
Scotland where it was first used to
dress the injuries of workmen, is
made of limewater and linseed oil
in equal parts.
Burns which affect all three lay
ery of skin, called “burns of the
third degree,” must have compe
tent medical attention at once.
The suffering of the victim may be
alleviated by placing him in a bath
tub of mndly warm water.
Filkillon-Warony.

L. Pilkinton, and Mr. Ernest
Maroney were united in marriage

| the presence of a number of a
friends and relatives.

| Huttig for a number of years anc1
i has endeared herself to many by
; her amicable dispositioi and
Christian character. The groom is
also well known here and is a gen

The Fire Fiend Says:
i You can lock a barn after the
1 horse is stolen, but you haven't
anything to lock after tramps sneak
in your unlocked barn and go to
I Ueep smoking. A maton i« the

A German newspaper intimates
I that President Wilson has been
| trying for some time to get into the
war. The president has surelv
had a number of loveiy opportuni
ties to break into the game, but
has refused to accept them. Until
the issue was put squarely up to
him he did not even nib'e at the
bait. And the Germap n< wscaper
is entirely wrong when it says and
thinks the severing of diplomatic
relations came because we wanted
it to happen. That journal does
not understand the spirit of the
American people, nor the mctives
behind their recent action through
their chosen executive representa
tive. We are a long-suffering peo
ple, as the past two years have
amply demomstrated. but patience
j sometimes ceases to be a virtue.
Injuries From Poor Lighting.
Most people are guided in their or
dinary actions and the precision of
their movements by thv sense of sight,
and many accidents result in spite of
safety devices and educational cam
paigns, because workers are uncertain
of or misjudge their relation to the
immediate environment for the reason
that they cannot see well enough.
Many more, however, occur because
the operative working in a spot bright
ly illuminated or with a bare lamp
shining into his face so that his eyes
are dazzled, steps into a poorly-illumi
nated space to which ids vision does
not quickly adjust itself, or because
he has a headache induced by eye
strain, and therefore has an impaired
mental as well as physical capacity,
or because of weariness, lassitude and
I other ills that inevitably follow iir-the
I train of overworked eyes.— Enginoer

Getting Results.
Are you (retting results for the hard work and close
attention you are giving to your business? Have you any
thing to show for your 'ast year's work except a mere living?
Too often we give all our time and thought to work
we are undertaking and do not stop to figure out the results.
If have made a good salary year after year, you should
have something laid up to show for it. If you have a farm
and have made good crops for many years, you should have
a bank account to show for your net profits. If you have
been in habit of spending all you make, whether it be much
or little, resolve now to figure on the results of your work
and have something to show for it.
Deposit everything you can possibly save above your
living expenses, and at the end of the year you will have
re.-ulls to show for your year's labor. We'll help you save.
