The Arkansas River Improvement
convention, which will be held at
Fort Smith on the 18th of this
month, will be one of the most i'm
portant that has ever heen held in
the South. The purpose of the
convention is to memorable Con-
gress to take immediate action for
the restoration of the Arkansas
river as a navigaole stream. This
step has become absolutely neces'
sary in the interest of cheaper
transportation of cotton, grain and
other products seeking an outlet
to the seaboard from the country
along the Arkansas River Valley
proper, and from the newly settled
western country of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, as well as the
states of Arkansas and Colorado,

smoke while visiting us, using our
tobacco instead of their own.

That is exactly what happens to the
health when the bowels fail to per

is bad for the kidnews-bad for the

sonous matter, and because it can
not go any place else, it gets into
the blood. The blood carries it all
over the system. That makes slug
gishness, lassitude, bad breath and
foul taste in the mouth, fills the
stomach with gas and causes windy
belching, stops digestion in the
stomach, causes sour stomach,
