MANY IMPROVEMENTS
IN ARKANSAS TOWNS
State Is MakingGreaterStrides
In Substantial Improvements
Than Ever Before
Arkansas is taking greater
strides in civic improvements
than ever before, along the
lines of installing waterworks
which usually entail sewer sy
stems and improved lire de
partments.
Records of the engineering
department of the Arkansas
Actuarial Bureau bear out this
statement. In the past year the
Bureau has been called on to
inspect and criticise plans and
specifications for waterworks
in Benton. Rector. Harrison,
Heber Springs and Ashdown,
which towns are installing, or
have completed waterworks,
while plans are under way for
similar improvements at Hart
ford, Pocahontas, Malvern.
Springdale. Eudora, Nashville,
Star City, Beebe, Piggott, Hat
field, Corning, McCrory, Junc
tion City, Walnut Ridge, Port-j
land and Wilmot. Improve
ments of the present plants are
contemplated at Bentonville,
Dardanelle, Stuttgart, Arkan
sas City, Conway, Morrilton
and Marianna.
These improvements will
save the people thousands of
dollars annually in insurance
premiums and cut down the
fire loss, to say nothing of the
saving that will be effected in
life and health through the
sanitary benefits. The indica
tions are that Arkansas will
see even greater progress along
these lines within the next few
months.

JACKSON COUNTY CROPS
DAMAGED BY DROUTH
--
Newport, July 18.—The
continued dry weather has
proved extremely detrimental
to crops in this section the past
ten days, and what seemed to
be the best crop year in the.
history of the county may prove
to be almost a failure.Corn has
been cut short by the drouth
and cotton beginning to bloom
on the top limbs ot the plants
has stopped growth and is giv
ing indications of suffering in
other ways. Gardens, pastures
and fruits and hay fields are
being damaged.

PENSION BOARD WILL
MEET AGAIN JULY 28
The Confederate pension
board, composed of Col. V. Y.
Cook, Theo. Maxfield and S.
A. Hail, will have another
meeting at Batesville on Fri
day, July 28, to consider addi
tional applications for pen
sions.
The board held a meeting
last week and granted a num
ber of new pensions.
Most Eminent Medical
Authorities Endorse It.
Dr. Eberle and Dr. Braithwaite as
well as Dr. Simon — all distinguished
authors—agree that whatever may be
the disease, the urine seldom fails in
furnishing us with a clue to the princi
ples upon which it is to he treated,
and accurate knowledge concerning tha
nature of disease cati thus be obtained.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you, or if
uric acid in the blood has caused rheu
matism, gout or sciatica or you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble just write Dr.
Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N.Y.; send a sample of urine and de
ocribe symptoms. You will receive free
medical advice after Dr.Pierce’s chemist
has examined the urine —this will bo
carefully done without charge, and you
will be under no obligation. Dr. Pierce
during many years of experimentation
has discovered a new remedy which he
finds is thirty-seven times more power
ful than lithia in removing uric acid
from the system. If you are suffering
from backache or the pains of rheuma
tism, go to your best druggist and ask
for a 50-cent box of “Anuric ” put up
by Dr. Pierce. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription for weak women and Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for
the blood have been favorably known
for the past forty years and more. They
are standard remedies to-dav—as well
as Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets for
the liver and bowels. You can get a
sample of any one of these remedies
by writing Dr. Pierce.
Doctor Pierce’s Pellets are unequaled
as a Liver Pill. One tiny, tiuyar-coated
Pellet a Dose. Cure Sick Headache,
Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Constipa
tion, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and
all derangements of the Liver, Stomach
jutd Bowels.
World's Largest
“Water Wagon"
In line with the budget re
port which emphasized the be
neficial results of empire-wide
prohibition, the Russian Duma
has passed a bill making it
the permanent national policy.
The measure prohibits the
manufacture and sale of any
beverage containing more than
1'4 per cent of alcohol. This
bars beer and light wines. It is
sure to pass the upper house
and to receive the approval of
the Czar, upon whose initia
tive the prohibition of vodka
became at the beginning of the
war part of the government’s
preparedness program.
“Under the difficult condi
tions of war time,” says M.
Bark, minister of finance, “we
ventured to forego a huge
drink revenue and thereby
most clearly demonstrate that,
with a return to peace, when
the state exchequer recovers
all its former sources of reve
nue. and a sobered people ful
ly develops its greatly increas
ed productivity in the peace
ful field of labor, Russia calm
ly and confidently will be able
to live with a temperance bud
get."
The Russian Empire com.
prises one-seventh of the hab
itable globe. Its water wagon
carries some 175,000,000 peo
ple who, despite the enormous
burdens of the costliest war of
history, are increasingly pros
perous, more “fit” physically,
morally and financially than
even before to serve then
country.

TRY II! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Fwi-t druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody’s druggist "has noticed
i Jl great falling-off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson’B
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives lietter results," said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
ev-erv druggist who seils it. A large
bottle costs 60 cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson s Liver Tone Is a plcasairt-tast
lng, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults'. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
| brie; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
. vigor and ambition.
inspects Names on
Liquor Repeal Bill
Senator T. J. Raney, after
checking over the petitions for
the submission of the Prohibi
tion repeal law, filed with the
secretary of state at Little Rock
last week, reports that he
found 17,637 signatures, in
stead of 18,136, as certified
by those who filed it. There
are forty-five counties repre
sented in the lists, Pulaski na
turally leading, with a total of
5794 signatures.Garland is sec
ond with 1475 names, and
among the other larger coun
ties are Sebastain, 1439; Jef
ferson, 789; Phillips, 1249; Lo
gan, 362; Craighead, 329;
Conway, 258; Lee, 310; Pope,

SUGGESTIONS FOR
MAKING CHEAP PORK
Next fall we will receive
many letters asking for infor
mation as to what to feed with
corn to fatten hogs. Now is the
time to answer that question,
for now is the time for making
plans for solving the problem.
There is nothing better than
peanuts and soy beans, or vel
vet beans in the lower south.
This is the time to prepare for
these crops. Get the seed ready
and when the oats or wheat
field is cleared put out a lib
eral acreage of one or all of
these crops. If more is grown
than the hogs can consume,
harvest some for feeding the
hogs next winter, and if still
more is grown there is nothing
better fr the land and no more
economical way of increasing
crop yields or fertilizing next
year’s crop than to turn under
a crop of these legumes. Even
cowpeas make good hog feed,
a 1thugh they yield less, and
since the seed is cheap there
sould be no lack of feed for
the hogs next fall.—Progres
sive Farmer.
JACKSON COUNTY WILL
BUILD 40 MILES ROAD
One of the longest macad
am highways ever undertaken

the road, and the plans have
been submitted. The road is to
be built under the government
district plan, and it is said all

the proposition, and all that
remains is to formally organize
the district.
