ARKANSAS FIRE
RECORDS BROKEN
Newspapers are Given Great
Share of Credit For Blow
to the Fire Fiend
Little Rock, Jan. 15.—The
fire records of years have been
broken. Arkansas has had a
change of luck! And so, at
last, have the men who pay the
fire insurance losses. For the
first time in 11 years the fire
insurance compaines have had
a year’sbusiness showing a pro
fit. The annual figures, for
1917, will show that the com
panies have taken in more mon
ey than they have paid out.
In other words the fire losses
and other expenses have been
less than the premiums collect
ed. The fire losses may thus
be said to have decreased to a
record-breaking degree.
This will be shown when
official figures for the year’s
business become available, ac
cording to J. S. Speed man
ager of the Arkanas Acturial
Bureau. The detailed statistics
will not become available for
some weeks and will show a
bare profit for the underwrit
ers he says.
Naturally this change from a
heavy and continuous loss to a
profit, however slight, is most
gratifying to all concerned,
particularly to the Arkansas
Acturial Bureau which has
been an important factor in the
fire-loss-reduction said Mr.
Speed'.
This has been brought about
by a wide-spread response on
the part of the public and of
owners of buildings to the ef
forts of the bureau to make
buildings more fire-resisting
and the public more alert
against ever-present fire haz
ards. For 11 years the under
writers have been taking a part
of the premiums collected in
other states and applying them
to the payment of fire losses
in Arkansas. This year the
fire loss ratio in other parts
of the country has greatly ex
ceeded the records of proceed
ing years, and it is most grati
fying to know' that Arkansas
is an exception to this rule.
I believe the newspapers of
Arkansas are doing more than
those of any other state to
awaken the public to the im
portance of fire-prevention and
these and other agencies co
operating have accomplished
a great thing for the people of
the state, benefitting the pub
lic far more than the under
writers have been benefitted.
said Mr. Speed.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
VOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop using dangerous drug before
it salivates you!
It’s horrible!
You’re bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous cal
omel to start your liver and clean your
bowels.
Here’s my guarantee! Ask your drug
gist for a 60 cent bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and take a spoonful tonight.
If it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you right “up better than
calomel and without griping or making
you sick I want you to go back to the
store and get vour money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work. Take a spoon
ful of harmless, vegetable Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight and wake up feeling great.
It’s perfectly harmless, so give it to your
children any time. It can’t salivate, so
let them eat anything afterwards.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
To the Worshipful Master
and Brethren of Newark Lodge
No 248 F. & A. M.:
Brethren :—The entrance of
Death into a Lodge room is
not heralded by a knock at its
outer portals; the Grim Reap
er goes unchallenged by the
watchful tyler; the Emblemat
ic Lambskin has no place in his
habiliments; the Worshipful
Master is given no word or sign
of his affiliations, yet the in
vasion is none the less sure,
and at his hand must we all
meet on a common level for the
consignment to the grave, but
with the promise that we shall
be raised to a full fellowship
in the Supreme Lodge of our
Infinite Master if our conduct
here has been circumscribed
by the compassof his teachings
and and action squared by His
own example in the flesh.
Our Lodge has again been
entered by the Angel of Death
and its doors have closed for
ever from all that was mortal
of our Brother W. R. William
son, who departed this life on
December 27. 1917.
Therefore, Be it Resolved,
that in the death of Brother
Williamson, Newark Lodge F.
& A. M. Loses one of its oldest
and most beloved members,
the community in which he liv
ed an upright and honorable
man of the highet type of citi
zenship.
Be it further Resolved, that
in respect to his memory a page
be set apart in the records of
our Lodge and these resolu
tions spread thereon, a copy of
same be furnished the family
and a copy sent the papers for
publication.
