Little Rock, Nov. 12.—The
foregoing cablegram received
by State Food Administrator
[lamp Williams is acknowledg
ment from General Pershing of
a message sent him by Mr.
Williams, Gating that the oeo
ple of Arkansas were willing
to play Santa Claus to the
American soldiers in France
and would, out of their No
vember allotment cf sugar,
Mrs. P. M. Jonct, Ol
Palmer, Okie., writesi
"From the time I en
tered Into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. 1 suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. 1 would think
1 could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . . .
1 decided to
TAKE
The Woman's Tonic
" I took four bottles,"
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that 1 have
not a pale. . .
" It has now been two
years since 1 tookCardui,
and 1 an still In good
health. . . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Ctrdui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.’*
11 you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good streagfhening tonic
to build up your run-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. TryCar
dui. It helped her. We
believe ft will help you.

take one million pounds, nave
that sugar transferred to can
dy manufacturers, made into
candy and sent to the “boys
over there.’’
Some time ago General Per
shing wired a request that
more sugar be released to can
dy manufacturers in the United
States for sweets for overseas
shipment, and the people of
Arkansas, through the State
Food Administrator, are going
to make it possible for every
Americai soldier, whether he
be officer or doughboy, on
Christmas morning, to receive
a one pound box of candy as
Arkansas’ Yuletide remember
ance. The one million pounds
of sugar that Arkansas will
take out of its allotment will
make over two million pounds
cf candy.
To Know Who Gave It
Officials of the United States
Food Administration in Wash
ington, in appreciation of this
sacrifice on the part of the
people of this state, are de
teimined that the recipients
of this candy vi!l know ftom
whence it came. They have
instructed the candy makers
to place inside each of the
two million and more one
pound boxes a printed slip
stating tl at this extra allot
ment of candy, enough to give
each American soldier in Fran
ce a one-pound box on Christ
mas day, comes from the peo
ple of Arkansas, who cheer
fully gave one million pounds
of sugar in order to make this
gift possible.
So tar as is known this is
believed to be the first time
the people of any one state en
deavored to remember those in
the country’s army at Christ
mas. Officials declare this act
will go down in history as a
glorious exemplification of
service and sacrifice.. Howev
er. it is not the first big thing
the peoph of Arkansas have
done to win the commendation
< f officials ot the United Stat
es Feud Administration. Sev
eial months ago, during the
Hour shortage, ettate Food Ad
ministrator Williams asked the
people of the state to return all
Hour over a thirty days’ sup
ply. Every one had. as in pre
vious years, bought enough
flour to last them for months,
and especially was that true
in the rural districts. When
the call to return the flour
came, the people responded
nobly. In all, 40,567 barrels
of flour was turned over to
the government, which was
purchased at cost by the Inter.
Allied Purchasing Commission,
shipped to New Orleans, where
it was resacked and sent
abroad. That flour filled a
train of 129 cars and was
more flour than was returned
Catarrh Cannot Je Cured
With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the scat oi the disease.
Catarrh is a local disease, Kieatij in
lluenced by constitutional conditions, and
in order to cure it you must take an
internal remedy. Hull's Catarrh Medi
cine is taken internally and acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. Hall's Catarrh Medicine was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years. It is com
posed of some of the best tonics known,
combined with some of the best blood
purifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients In Hall's Catarrh Medi
cine is what produces such wonderful
results In catarrhal conditions Send for

Arkansas Well Represented
There are over 80,000 Ark
ansas boys in France. The
fact that the people of the
state are to provide this sort of
a Christmas gift is more than
pleasing to those who receive
each month from the State
Food Administration certificat
es to purchase sugar. It is from
those clas'ses, the essential and
the less-essential, that a reduc
tion will be made, but the best
evidence that they are wiPing
to participate in this gift is seen
in letters reaching headquart
ers in this city heartily com
mending the idea. To all who
contribute their quota of the
oiie million pounds of sugar, an
official sovenir will be sent,
which is suitable for framing
and which the donors will be
proud to exhibit to the soldier
boys when they return to their
old home town.

THREE MEN AND THE t
VISION THEY SAW '
-- a
In a certain city dwell three]
men. And by accident of birth 1
one of them is a Catholic and J
one is a Protestant and one is
a Jew.
For thirty years they have t
engaged in busines side by side 1
and the Catholic has not dealt t
with the Protestant; and the \
Catholic and Protestant have \
have had no dealings with the
Jew.
“What is he to me?” each
man has said. “He is not of
my faith: I will avoid him.” •
So for thirty years they have 1
dwelt together, strangers in a 1
friendly world. r
Then came the shadow if a >
fearful war. And out of those c
three homes three boys went i
forth alone Three fathers .
waited heart-worn for the let
ters from over there.
“There are soldiers of Fri
endliness over here,” the boys
wrote home. “They bring us
chocolate, and motion pictures,
and baseball, and good lec
tures; and the memory of mo
ther and of God.”
“Help those friendly agen
cies when you have the chan
ce,” each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the
thrge fathers found themselves
working shoulder to shoulder
in a great campaign for funds.
Not as a catholic and a pro
testant and a Jew—but as
good citiezns united in a com
mon cause.
And as they worked they
came to know each other, and
-
hey were ashamed that for s<
nany years that had beei
trangers side by# sitle.
“Surely this is one of th<
ompensations of war,” the^
aid, “that in our love for ou
•oys we have learned a nev
espect for one another.”
So a new spirit was born in
o that city. As though in it:
leart it had discovered some
hing of the greater religior
rhose God is Father; anc
rhose faith and creed is love
