FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1907
The Newport Democrat says Newark
was once the toughest town on earth,
and from what The Journal says, in
return, one might believe that Newport
now easily holds that distinction.

The Alabama legislature has passed
a bill providing for state-wide prohi
bition in Alabama, the law to take
effect January 1, 1!HH>. One by one
the Southern states are falling in
line for prohibition, and its our pre
diction that Arkansas will be the next
.state to pass a state-wide prohibition
All honor to the man who earns his
living' by honest toil. Ho, it is, above
all others, who is always pulling for
better things. He is always on the
front seat of the community band
-wagon. He is the first resident to
greet the stranger and tell him that he
is visiting the best town in the state.
He is ready to tight, at the drop of a
bat, the fellow who willingly runs
■down the community's best, along with
its worst, and there is something in
spiring in his cordial invitation to the
chronic croaker to “move somewhere
else. “
Some farmers wonder why their sons
have a desire to quit the farm, pre
ferring town or city life. The cause
is with the farmer himself. With the
boy on the farm it is perpetual toil in
good weather, all through the busy
season, and perpetual loneliness in
bad weather and most of the winter
season. The time when the farmer has
leisure is at the very time when they
•cannot get away from home on account
of their isolation and bad roads. The
boy hungers for company and his
heart revolts against this unendurable
loneliness, and to free himself from it,
he walks miles through the mud to
spend an hour at the country store.
We are glad to note that in some sec
tions of the country the young- people
of both sexes, have broken through
these barriers, and established farmers'
clubs and little societies of one sort or
another. This should be encouraged
and will prove a great tonic to keep
young people on the farm and make
life to them worth the living.
DON’T
MISJUDGE
The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescription.s and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.

Be natural. Do not try to impre
people with your importance. It you
are really important they will find it
out. If you are of no account you
will not deceive anyone by acting as
though great interests rested in your
keeping. The day of pomposity is past,
we hope never to return. More people
than ever before are intelligent and able
to judge those with whom they come in
contact. This means that they are
able to judge you and place a true
rather than a false estimate on your
abilities.
The Journal has often remarked
that we have the l>est paving' list of
subscribers of any paper in Arkansas,
and we verily believe it is a fact. We
have never had to send out a collector
to round them up in order to get what
they owe us, but they always pay up
promptly-upon a receipt of a state
ment of the amount due. and many of
them do not wait for that. Dusually
a little notice in The Journal calling
their attention to the fact that we are
“dead broke” again, finds them ready
to respond with the wherewithal so
necessary to keep the wheels of The
Journal oiled and in good running
order. This has been an extremely
hard year on the newspaper man, and
as fast as we can get to them we are
sending out statements to all our sub
seribers who owe for as much as a
year and we hope they will respond
with their usual promptness. Kvery
thing that goes into the making of a
paper— type, paper, ink and all other
material is higher than it has been
for years and it is therefore very
necessary for us to collect up all that
is due us as closely as possible.

ONLY NECESSARY TO
TREAT THE STOMACH
Claim of Central Figure in Recent Contro
versy Is Novel. 4
The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians in a dis
cussion of his beliefs and medicines.
Mr. Cooper says that human health
Is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without first
alleviating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and wom
en of this generation are half-sick,
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach in 90 days.
Cooper has been traveling from
one city to another, conducting in
each what he calls a campaign of
education. For the past year he has
met the public in the larger cities
t of the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands of
people have flocked to his headquar
ters wherever he has gone, and the
sale of his medicine has been beyond
anything of the kind ever before
witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol
lowing statements are from two well
known residents of Chicago and Bos
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
of these is characteristic of Cooper’s
admirers generally.
'Mrs. H. B. Mack, of 3201 State
street, Chicago, says: “I have been
suffering for 12 years from a com
bination of stomach troubles, catarrh
and constipation. I had a gnawing
pain in the pit of my stomach, a sort
jf a dull pain that I coma nos quite un
derstand. Then there was a dull head
ache, and my mind seemed to bo
wandering continually. I could nod
eat, and what little solid food I did
eat’I could not retain on my stomach.
I tried every remedy I could think of.
and also tried out a number of patent
medicines, but without any apparent
result. It was through one of my
friends that I heard of Cooper’s prep
aration, and I immediately decided
to try some of it. It is two weeks
since I took my first dose of it, and
I feel like a now woman. The head
ache seems to have disappeared, and.
the pain in my Btomach along v/ith.
It. The medicine is worth ita weight
In gold, and I want to thank Mr.
Cooper for what he has done for
me.”
Mr. Edwin F. Morse, of 20 Oakley
street, Dorchester, a suburb of Bos
ton, says: ’’For three years I had
not a well day. My stomach was in.
frightful shape; the mere thought of
food would nauseate me, and I really
bad a horror of anything to eat. All
solid food would cause me extrema
Indigestion, bloating and gas on my
stomach, and nothing tasted right.
Some time ago I got some of this
Cooper’s medicines, about which
there Is so much talk. I actually
feel as well and strong as a boy ever
since the first bottle. Every sign of
3tomach trouble has disappeared, and
[ have a hearty appetite and eat
three square meals; every thing
seems to taste good. Anyone who
knows what chronic Indigestion Ik
can appreciate what this means to
me. I consider this the most remark
ible medicine I ever heard of.”
We sell Mr. Cooper’s medicines,
ind find them to be all he claims.

WHENCE THE HARVEST?
When time began, who shot athwart
the sky the livid light,
As vanquished Chaos slunk away like
some grim-visaged knight?
Who swung upon the fleecy breast of
boundless space afar
Tlie unknown worlds, the burning suns,
the moons and every star?
Who gave the morn its ruddy glow,
and stooped to tint the rose
j While smiling on the streams and
fields, and every tree that grows?
j Who taught the birds to sing, the bees
to hum and garner sweets
| Against the winter's storms which
sweep the earth's deserted streets?
Who storeth up the dew of heaven and
pours it forth in showers
| Upon the thirsty fields, to gladden and
pei-fume the flowers?
Who gives the earth its seasons and
bounteous harvest time?
Who guards and feeds His children
all, in near or distant climes?
Ah, we know Thee, thou Eternal One,
who reigneth up above.
Thou dwellest with the cherubim—thy
wonderous name is Love.
We magnify thy blessed name and
bow the head and pray
For an undying- love to Thee, on this
Thanksgiving Day.
