At the meeting of the board of
directors of Consolidated School

Fifty years ago when typhoi.
fever patients were given quanti-1
ties of food and drugs, three times
as many people died of the disease
as do now when patients receive
but little food and scarcely any
medicine.
The Government in a recent re
port tells us that during ^ the past
forty years while the consumption
of drugs per capita has doubled,
the deaths from degenerative dis
eases, such as Bright’s disease and
appoplexy, have increased four
times.
Beri-beri, a dread disease of the
rice eating countries, is being
stamped out by using rice that has
not had some of its nutritive ele
ments removed by the usual pol
ishing process. Let us remember
that white flour bears the same re
lation to whole wheat flour as pol
ished rice does to the unpolished.

J. It. McAdams Pardoned.
J. H. McAdams and E. C. Free

visitors last Saturday. Mr. Mc
Adams was at one time a resident
of our city, employed by the A. L.
& G., but on account of some
trouble, the charge being forgerv.
he was sentenced from Monroe to
the Louisiana state prison. A
short time afterward his faithful
wife circulated a petition in Cros
sett, which was signed by a great
number of our citizens, asking for
his release. A short time ago Mr.
McAdams was pardoned by Gover
nor Hall, but Mrs. McAdams did
not live to see the results of her
efforts, having died a few days be
fore her husband’s release. She
had many friends in Crossett who
were untiring in their efforts to as
sist her, as she had the sympathy
of all who knew her. With his
children, Mr. McAdams is making
his home near Oak Ridge, La. -

The man who leads a fast life is
said to “burn the winds.” The
man who leads a life of careless
ness about his premises ought to
be put down as one who “burns his
j own savings.”
A policy of “I’ll attend to the
trash tomorrow” has been reponsi
ble for the heavens being lighted
up by the fires that consumed the
accumulations of a life of effort not
only thousands, but tens of thous
ands of times.
Procrastination is not only the
thief of time, it is the thief of the
wealth of the world. He who pro
crastinates loses his own wealth.
Vaccination, is to avoid smallpox.
In times of epidemic water is boiled
to conserved health.
Why not extend this list of things
done as precautions? Why not
wage enternal and perpetual, un
ceasing and unflagging warfare
against the fire demon paying you
a visit.
He is never welcome, but may
come at any time. This much,
however, is certain, he will post
pone his visit until you make his
coming propitious.

Canning Club Convention.
As a part of the profitable farm
ing campaign of Union county, a
canning club convention was held
this week at the courthouse in El
Dorado. The convention was sug
gested by Ike Felsenthal, one of
the leading merchants. The board
of trade and the Department of
Agriculture became interested.
Sixty-seven delegates were en
rolled for the work, which lasted
four days.
The work is under the direction
of Miss Emma Archer of the De
partment of Agriculture canning
club work and Miss Arthur of the
domestic science department of
the University of Arkansas. This
is the first county to try this plan,
it is claimed, and the results are
being watched by the Department
of Agriculture demonstrators. All
delegates are being given free en
tertainment in the homes of the
people._

How We Help Young Men.
Most young men are ambitious
to some day own a business of
their own. Thousands are fulfill
ing this ambition every year. Most
of them accomplished it by accum
ulating a reasonable amount, often
not more than a few hundred, in
the savings bank. Then, with this
as a basis, they can command a
certain amount of credit and thus
get their start. Nothing gives a
young man a reputation with other
business men and bankers as does
the fact that he is a steady saver.
This bank makes it easy by letting
you start with a dollar and pays
you 1- per cent interest, compound
ed semi annually.

A wedding of much interest to
the people of Rison and vicinity I
was solemnized in the presence of |
relatives and a limited number of
friends at the home of the bride at
high noon on Wednesday, June 23.
1915, when Miss Marye Elsie
Baldwin, daughter of Mr C.W.Bald
win, of Rison. become the happy
Dride of Dr. H. F. Mayfield, a
prominent young physician of Hut
tig.
Preceding the ceremony Mrs,
Davis Quinn sang sweetly "I Lovr
You ¥'ruly.” »ncf to the strains m
Mendelssohn's wedding march ren
dered by Miss Eleanor Clowning,
the bride entered leaning upon the
arm of the groom, and through the
aisle they advanced with majestic
step to the rear of the parlor where
they stood under a beautiful arch
formed of ferns and fragrant cape
jessamines. Just outside this arch
stood the officiating, Rev. N. H.
Rodgers, of the M. E. church of
Rison. who pronounced them man
and wife.
The bride was lovely in her go
ing away grown of Belgian blue
cloth with hat of white tulle em
broidered with pink daisies, while
the handsome groom was attired in
the regulation black. After the
ceremony congratulations were
said and immediately Dr. and Mrs.
Mayfield attended by friends re
paired to the station where on
leaving their automobiles, there
fell a shower of crimson and white
rose petals covering the bride and
groom and strewing their pathway
as they boarded a northbound train
on their honeymoon trip.
Dr. and Mrs. Mayfield will be at
home to their friends at Huttig af
ter July 7. A Friend.
Blackness of the Crow.
II was satisfactorily established by
the old writers that the crows pot
their blackness in punishment for their
sins. It seems to have been a futile
punishment, for there is no living
thing that shows in its demeanor less
evidence of a repentant spirit, in
stead of being ashamed of their black
ness, crows, as an Indian writer has
said, “swagger in it. and pretend that
they chose that exact shade for them
selves."
