APPROVED BY HAMP WILLIAMS, FEDERAL FOOD
ADMINISTRATOR FOR ARKANSAS.
A. K. Goodnight of Bates
ville, county food administra
tor for Independence county,
acting "under instructions from
the federal food administrator
for Arkansas, has ordered all
merchants in the county to re
quire an prurcrm-Ner;* tin
above food card when making
purchases of flour and sugar.
Practically all merchants in
the county have supplied them
selves with the proper blanks
and are complying with the
law, and it is stated that any
merchant who violates the law
by selling more sugar or flour
than is allowed to one custom
er will have his place of busi
ness closed up and will be sub
ject to a fine of $5,000.
The penalty for hoarding
rocmsruTTs applies' to any per
son who purchases more than
| the law allow's, and it is said
| that under no condition what
ever, will any person be allow
ed to buy or keep in their home
more than 50 pounds of flour
at one time.
A retail merchant in a cer
tain town in the state had a lot
of flour in barrels, which he
wanted to sell to farmers in the
original barrels. He wrote to
the federal food administrator
and asked for permission to do
so. The request was refused,
and the following reply was
sent him, a copy of which is
furnished The Journal by the
food administrator with the re
quest that it be published for
the information of the public
“Dear Sir:—Under no cir
cumstances would we agree for
you or any one else to sell more
1 than 48 pounds of flour to any
consumer. Thirty days supply
is the limit. It is not right for
one family to have a barrel of
flour and the other none; and
we have a lot of the “nones”
right now. Thirty days from
now, we may not be able to get
any flour; looks very much like
it. That is the reason the Gov
ci iiiiiciiu piaccu a f/ciiciit/j wi
$5,000 and two years imprison
ment for hoarding, so that we
could, prevent human hogs
from getting it all. That is the
position we are in now. It
would be much better for your
community, especially the poor
class that need protection, that
you would open up those bar
rels, one at a time, and sell it
| out in paper sacks. The time
is near when you can tell the
consumer to bring his own sack
j if he wants any flour, and he
will be glad to bring it.
“If I were a farmer I would
be afraid to buy a barrel of
: flour and take it home with me
when it is in violation of the
Government rules. Suppose
some of his neighbors reported
him, which they are likelj' to
do and the secret-service men
get hold of it. It might cost
him his farm to get out of it,
even if he is successful in beat
ing the fine and imprisonment.
These are war times

Every druggist in town—your drug

a great falling-off in the Bale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson’s

ANXIOUS FOR BATTLE
Camp Beauregard Boys Ready
For Service in France
Editor Journal.—If you will
give me a little space, I would
like to say a few words about
our good old 154th Infantry,
which is made up of soldiers
from three states—Louisana,
Arkansas and Mississippi—and
is the best regiment in the divi
sion, known as the 3rd Arkan
sas regiment. We are now hav
ing a splendid time since the
quarantine has been raised.
We go every night to our Y.
M. C. A. chaplain tent, where
we see the picture shows and
other stage plays. We also
have all the good books and
writing materials we want to
use and have good music
which is just like being at our
own home. I have found no
place I like any better than
Uncle Sam’s Army. I know
I was needed, and that is why
I answered the first call. May
28, 1917. I can hardly wait;
I am crazy to go across and
take a shot at Kaiser Bill. The
quickest way to the front line
is the slowest with me.
Col. 'Compeer has just re
turned from France and he
says the Kaiser is not dead yet.
Well, just be patient a little
while; we will be over there
and right back, just as soon as
we set our machine guns and
kill old Bill. I hope to see the
World’s Parade and see it in
the streets of Berlin. Old
glory has not been flying in the
streets of Berlin, but. will just
as soon as our machine gun
boys can get over there. We
are going to make Berlin the
world’s wastebasket. I don’t
believe anyone is any prouder
to serve his country than l
am.
Well, Mr. Editor, I guess I
could write for a week how I
like the dear old U. S. Army,
but I have no more time, so I
will close.

LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make this beauty lotion cheaply for
your face, neck, arms and hands.
At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifler,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lo
tion will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitencr and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hnnds. It is
marvelous to smoothen rough, red hands.
ARTIFICIAL BROODING
Artificial brooding of chicks
means furnishing them with
[proper temperature conditions
by artificial heat during the
stage of their growth when the
heat of their bodies is not suf
ficient to maintain life. This
period is about six weeks, vary
ing with the season of the year
or the weather. Successful
brooding depends largely up
on so adjusting the brooder
temperature that the chicks
are able to do without artific
ial heat at the earliest possible
stage.
The brooder should be thoro
ughly warmed up before nut
ting the chicks into it. The
temperature should be about
95 about an inch from the
floor. At the end of four
weeks the temperature should
be about 75. The change in
temperature should be made
very gradualy druing this per
iod. The temperature of 75
should be maintained from two
to three weeks, when artificial
heat may be discontinued.
There should always be suf
ficient heat during the day so
that the chicks may go to the
hover whenever it so desires.
If the temperature is too low,
they will get chilled and crowd
together.
Some of the common causes
of death in artifiicial brooding
are chilled, crowding and over
heating. If the hover temper
ature during the first week or
two drops considerably and
stays low for any length of
time, especially during the
night when the birds are under
the hover, they become chilled
and this results in digestive dis
orders. The crowdng of chicks
is usually because they are
chilled, but it may be caused
by their huddling together in
rays of sunlight on the brood
er floor, or by putting too many
chicks in one brooder. If the
temperature is lower than usu
al and the chicks become chill
ed, they will crowd together
in an endeavor to keep warm
from body heat. The direct
result of ths crowding is suffo
caion, which means death.
Those that do not die are usu
ally lacking in vitality. If the
brooder temperature is allowed
to rise too high, the chicks by
getting accustomed to this high
temperature will be made
weak and therefore be suscep
tible to diseases.
A mistake is often made in
cutting off the heat as the
chicks grow older insead of
increasing ventilation. The
temperature of the brooder ma
be lowered by increasing ven
tilation or admitting more cool,
fresh air, and it is just as im
portant that the fresh air be in
creased as that the brooder
temperature be decreased
The brooder floor should
be covered an inch deep with
clean sand. After the chicks
get so they eat well, cut clov
er, alfalfa or chaff should be
scattered over the sand for the
chicks to scratch in.
Then? are many types of
brooders in use, and the one
that keeps a uniform tempera
ture and at the same time
serves your purpose is the one
you shoud have.
DON’T FORGET POLL TAX
Tax paying time expires long
before the next primary but th«
matter should be impressed on
both men ahd women that if
they desire to vote in the pri
mary they must pay poll tax
this year. The new law re
quires every voter to hold a
1918 poll tax receipt before he
can cast a ballot.
