MEAT SHOULD NOT
WORRY ARKANSAS
Government Report Shows
State Could Not Only Feed
Self but People of 3 Others
An exhaustive report by the
department of agriculture con
cerning the high price of meat
has just been made public. Ac
cording to this report, high
meat prices are to continue.
This means that high grain
prices also will continue; and
so high prices for practically
all foodstuffs. However, before
endeavoring to rush our crowd
ed tenement-dwellers off to
the country, there are a few
pertinent facts in connection
with our rural population that
should be taken into considera
tion, the report says. Few per
sons living near the great cen
ters of population ever think of
the vast army of people on the
farm or engaged in rural pur
suits. The “back-to-the-land
movements, urged from a
standpoint of health and self
preservation are well and good
enough in their way, bub
when they are preached from
a standpoint of high prices of
foodstuffs, or from a stand
point of rural labor scarcity,
they may be only partly right.
A study of the figures on ru
ral population are worthwhile.
The 1910 census, for instance,
shows that in Arkansas, the ur
ban population numbered 202,
681, and rural 1,371,078; the
number of improved acres
reaching 8,076,254. Allowing
that half of the adult rural
population raised their 800,
000 bales of cotton, there were
still enough rural folks left to
feed at least three States the
size of Arkansas, and enough
acreage left to keep them busy
12 months in the year.
Arkansas should not only
feed the people within the bor
ders of the State, but should
supply the foodstuffs for three
States of equal size where ag
ricultural pursuits are less fav
orable. With a proper diversi
fication of farm products and
an increased production of
livestock, the b.gh price oi
meat should holt! no terrors for
the people of Arkansas.
Good loads, diversified
farming and more attention to
the production of livestock
would spell prosperity for the
farmers of Arkansas, while at
the same time lowering the
prices of meat and other food
stuffs to the city dweller.

HARD FIGHT COMING
ON ST ATE-WIDE LAW
Ben Griffin Directing Cam
paign For Repeal of the Pres
ent State-Wide Prohi Law
Evidences are beginning to
be seen of the approaching
struggle for and against the re
peal of the Prohibition Law.
One of the most remarkable
features of the situation is the
absence from the fight of the
saloon protagonists of former
campaigns who do not appear
to be taking an active part in
the contest. Whether they will
do so later in the campaign re
mains to be seen. Former sa
loon leaders are engaged in
other occupations, or have re
moved to other states, where
they are conducting their busi
ness through the media of the
mails and the express compan
ies. The advocates of repeal
are the local optionists, of whom
Ben L. Grit fin, a member of
the last Legislature from Pul
aski county, is the leader. He
is planning to make a cam
paign of the state in the inter
est of the bill which he initiat
ed.
But the Prohibition forces of
j the state are not idle in the
meantime. They are organiz
ing tor an active campaign
against the hill. The Anti-Sa
loon League will lead the fight
aided by the W. C. T. U. and
the various church organiza
tions and temperance societies.
It is re a i zed that this will be
the most signilieant test ot
strength ever staged in Arkan
sas between the saloon and the
anti-saloon forces. The Prohi
bitionists are reiving largely
upon the record that has been
made since state-wide prohi
bition became effective Jan. 1.
1!>16. Statistics and testimony
are being compiled to prove
that under prohibition thestate
has prosper'd in every mater
ial way as never before, direct
ly refuting the theory of the
saloon advocates-that to take
away the saloon “will kill busi
ness.’’ Increased bank deposits,
better mercantile collections,
heavier sales accounts, and
more prosperous wage earn
ers are pointed out as the re
sults of saloon-less cities.

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before 1 began to take Cardui, 1 was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as 1 ever did, and can eat most anything.
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
Has Helped Thousands.

A child with worms is pale,

remedy for worms is
White’s Cream
Vermifuge
It destroys the worms and
strengthens the internal organs
that have been weakened by
these pests. Pale, sickly chil
dren pick up quickly and soon
become healthy, active and

To Cure Malaria and Chills

that will destroy the malarial germ and re

HERB1NE
Is a Powerful Chill Remedy
and Liver Regulator
Malarial germs cannot exist in the body under
the eradicating influence of Herbine. It rids the
system of germs, restores strength and functional
activity in the internal organs. As a chill
remedy Herbine is vastly superior to the old style
syrups which sicken the stomach and possess
little real merit. Herbine contains no quinine or
poisonous ingredients. Its mastery of the malaria
germ is derived entirely from herbs which act
quickly and surely in checking the disease. Try
it for Malaria, Torpid Liver, Biliousness, Dizziness
and Constipation. It seldom fails to produce the
results expected.
