DANGER IN SODA,
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Iisa.

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
1t was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use It as such will
some day regret 1t.
We refer TO the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands OF people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
1t accumulates in the intestines, caus-
ing death by inflammation or periton-
tits.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dyspepsia) an excellant prep
aration sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain loz-
enges, very pleasant to taste and con-
tain the natural acids, peptones and
digestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before 1t has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous
system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy APP
| petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not a cathartlc, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in any stom-
| ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cts. per package.

ANXIOUS MOMENTS.
"Well, 4 o'clock came, and my cour-
age was giving way. / could see how
two hours or so might be needed for a
freight to go twelve miles on such a
night, but three hours and over. So
slow a run had never been known on
the road.
What was to be done? To admit
my uncertainty meant the loss of my
job, and to brave It out any longer
seemed almost criminal. In my despair
l finally decided to tell the train de-
spatcher the plain truth, that I had
been asleep at my post, and that No.
241 probably went by more than an
hour ago. The fact would be known
in few hours anyway, / argued, and

death, convicted of criminal negligence

"'No. 241 h-e-r-e!'
Deep snow, a terrific wind, and the

Some Stories of tho Famous Gentleman
 From Indiana.
 Senator Turnie is one of the most in. teresting characters in publis life. He is, perhaps, the most scholarly man on the Democratic side of the senate Handicapped by partial palsy and an unpleasant and indistinct voice. he yet ranks as one of the best orators in con. gress. though from his infrpities of voice and delivery there IS more plea, sure in reading than ill listening to his speeches. He possesses a vast vocabulary and n power of invective that constitute him an antagonist to be avoided by dis erect opponents.
 He was graduated at Kenyon, Ohio's famous college. When he went there, he was raw youth from the farm. It was the custom at Kenyon to divide tue stu dents into two sets or classes for pur. poses of debate The division of new students was made when the course be. gan each year. The year of Turpie' s first attendance the leaders divided the new corners amioably until Turpie only was left. He was of such unpromising ap~ pearance that neither side wanted him. But he had to be taken by one or the other, so the leaders sat down and played a game of seven up, Turpie, un- known to himself, forming tho stake, but with the agreement that tho loser should take him.
 After the game the winner thought he had great joke on his antagonist. but his satisfaction did not last long, for in & month Turpie came to be reeog- nized as the best man in the college and remained it's intellectual star until grad uation. Washington Post.

- 4 GOOD BILL.

Senator Cranberry, of Lonoke county, has introduced a bill in the General Assembly of the State that is deserving of consideration, and one we hope to see passed at the present session. It is for the reg ulation of building and loan asso. citations, and provides as follows.
 Section 1. That in all eases where persons have borrowed money from building and loan associations, con tingent upon the payment of cer- tain amount of the principal and interest monthly, half yearly or yearly, as agreed upon between the contracting parties, the transaction shall be declared liquidated aud terminated when the borrower shall have paid the principal and interest, and he shall be entitled to have all the mortgages, deeds trusts or other collateral security cancelled and returned, and the building and loan association shall make the borrower deed in fee simple.
 Section 2. Whenever any per son who has been a borrower of any building and loan association, and shall have paid back the prin- cipal and interest as mentioned in section l of this act, and shall make a written demand upon any officer or agent of such building and loan association for his abstracts, deeds, notes and all coIaterals held by such building and loan association as security for the loan, and such building and loan association shall neglect, ..fail or refuse to surrender such abstracts, deeds, notes and collaterals within thirty days after the demand is made, it shall forfeit to the person or persons so refused his papers, sum equal to the amount of the original loan; such forfeiture shall be recovered by suit of injured borrower against such building and loan association as may refuse to return the seeuri- ties, in any court having iurisdic- ton of the amount claimed in IQflelbufe.
 This bill will work very needed reform in relation to borrowers in building and loan associations.
 As the law now stands, borrower in building and loan association cannot only be made to pay the principal and interest on his loan, but if any losses have been suffered in his series in consequence of lack of judgement and foresight on the part of the officers of said associa- tion, the borrower aforesaid can be taxed to make good the dedication of some other loan in the same series. This is an injustice to the

borrower. He should be made to pay the principal and interest of his own loan; no more, no less.
 Senator Granberry's bill is there fore timely and much needed law. Building & Loan Associations have no more right to oppress their bor- rowers than any other class of money lenders. Their rate of inter- est is extortionate and usurious, but this has been held legal by the courts because all borrowers are necessarily members of the associa- tion.
 If, then, the associations have power to charge their borrowers an usurious rate Of interest, and cause the latter to pay compound interest on the total amount of the principal from the very first to the very last assessment, the associations should at least be prohibited from charging the borrower more than the princi pal and interest of his own loan amounts to.

CHICAGO, March 24.-An open meeting
of the National Merchants and Travellers
Association. whose headquarters are in

this afternoon. John V. Farwell. jr., presi-
dent of the association, presided and intro
duced Samuel j. Kline, the speaker of the
day. In the audience were several hundred
merchants. who are now in the city attend
ing to spring buying, and one object of the
gathering was to permit the out-of-town
visitors to mingle with each other and the
leading wholesalers and manufacturers of
Chicago.
Mr.. kline's address was on THE Business
Outlook" He said in part: Now is the
time and this Is the hour to begin. We
have all been waiting for the adjustment
OF the money question. the regulation of
tartff, the settlement of foreign complica

ness has been neglected. Let US not stand
