SERVING Drinks at chlldren's Partie.

Serving Drinks at Chlldren's Parties.
Now that winter is here and the
time of children's parties is at hand,
a word Of warning may not come
amiss, says a writer in the Montreal
Herald.
There is growing up a custom among
people who entertain, OF serving alco-
hoiic drinks to children.
To my certain knowledge last year
there vas one house where cham
payne cup was served to the young
people, none of whom could have been
more than sixteen or seventeen, and
by far the greater number much
younger, and there were several occa-
Sions where claret cup was served. In
fact, at most children's parties of a
smart genre" claret cup is served as
a matter Of course. To a great many
persons such folly and wickedness
may seem incredible, but / assure
them, it is SC.
One little tot Of even came home
and told her mother that they had a
big. bowl of "red stuff wild lemons and
oder things" but she didn't like 1t "be-
~0oCO ~ a AHJ AVo0 ~ 4NAAy
It once came to my ears with q
throb of horror, that a woman used to
give her children beer and encourage
them to drink it until they could not
stand up and the consequent proceed
ings were looked upon as highly
diverting, but she was a debased,
drunken, ignorant woman, scarcely
responsible for her actions.
But TO think that any educated, in
telligent, Christian woman could serve
Intoxicating drinks to mere babies
passes belief. They may make a
futile xcuse by saying that the vari-
Gus cups" are practically non-alco-
holic. This is an absurdity, for men
have often been known to get exceed
4ngly Intoxicated on these mixed
drinks, and of course it takes a
much smaller amount of alcohol to at
feet the brain of a child. The very
smallest quantity may SOW the seeds
OF lifelong misery and unhappiness
and, perchance, crime. Let these
5houghtless women take heed what
they are doing; let them take to heart
the words of one who said: Whose
ever shall cause one of these little
ones to stumble it were better for
him that a milestone were hanged
about his neck, and that he were
drowned in the depth of the sea-"
With regard to the serving Of drinks
to children, Life has the following
pointed paragraph on the subject:
used as she was to the ways of high
life, the woman was disturbed and
her heart misgave her when her little
daughter came home drunk from the
children's party.
Girls are certainly precocious," she
sighed. Il was never under the inlu-
n Of liquor before l came out, and
YT~was sixteen before l had so much
=as tasted a cocktail or any but the
plainest drinks"
Next day she spoke to her husband
of her fears. He looked severe and
reminded Fer that he was busy amass-
ing a fortune for his child and could
not be troubled with her morals.

Newark's Big Picnic.

Newark, Aug. 9.-Yesterday was a great day for Newark. A big barbecue was held here and a match game of ball between Melville and Newark, which went in favor of Newark. Gov. Davis spoke in the afternoon for nearly two hours, making his usual speech, Senator W. F. Kirby, candidate for attorney general Senator Dave King, candidate for governor W. A. Oldfeld, candidate for congress, and Congressman Brundidge ad- dressed the audience. This was the first meeting of the candi- dates for congress on the stump, and from the indications, a warm time is promised later on.

Horse Thieves Captured.

Forrest City, Aug. 9.-By CO., operation St Francis and Lee county officials have lodged in the Lee county jail a bold, bad gang of horse thieves, which has for some months been operating in the western portion of this county and in the northern part of Lee county. John Carthron of Lee county and Joe Holub, Jr., and his brother Frank are re- ported to be the star actors, and are well supported by seven others, among whom one is a negro, who, during the term of the escapades of the band, tended a Zionist meetin' and became sanctifed," :" and gave the whole thing away.
 As far as known no stock has really been lost, but the owners in each case recovered their stock by paying a ransom. This they repeated, which led to the arrest of the gang.

YELLOW FEVER
There Is No Occasion For Alarm
Re1nertcr The Lessons of The
 Epidemic of 1893,

As We are now threatened with another visitation af the dreaded yellow fever 1t is well to remem- Der the experiences of the']ast occasion. In all sections where yellow fever made its appear ance it will be recalled that per sons who kept their stomach, liver and bowels strong and active were not affected by the disease; while others apparently healthy were stricken down. These latter were all more or less habitually canstipated, bilious or victims of bad digestion; as a re- suit the blood became impure and the vital organs were unable to resist the deadly fever germs. Now is the time to prepare for what is to follow. Get your fam fly and yourself in shape to re- sist the disease. You don't know when you are exposed to it; every man you meet may be affected, and if you put your preparations off from day to day you may be too late. The sensi- ble course is to begin at once taking Prickly Ash Bitters, that marvellous system regulator and blood purifier. Use it regularly every day. Half a Wine-glassful each morning after breakfast will keep your bowels open and healthy; it will also strengthen the stomach and digestion, purify the blood and by stimulating the liver and kidneys all bile and uric acid impurities will be driven out of the body. In short, it puts the system in perfect order. Remember 1898. That was record year for Prickly Ash Bitters. In the sections where it was used the most there were fewest cases of fever. You connot do better in this hour of danger than to make use of the means which experience has proven to be the best for fight ing off this terrible sc0urge. 78

FEES ARF ILLEGAL.
Council Calls Upon City Attorney For Official Opinion Upon Power of Board of Health 10 Collect
 Fees For Services.

The collection of fees for the issuance of health certificates, is disturbing a number Of cities. Whether there should be a fee, if so, what size, and where it shall go, are the points of issue. The Newport Board of Health, after a discussion of these ques- tions, referred the matter to the city council which met Wednes- day afternoon, and called upon City Attorney s. NJ. Stuckey for his official opinion on the ques- tion, which is published below.
 In many cities, doctors, who are not health officers, have is sued these certificates, but they have not been recognized by most cities or boards. In Jones' boro this was done, a fee of 25c being charged.
 In Little Rock, the city board has been charging a dollar, which goes into the general city eX- pense fund, and this helps to pay for sanitation and Quaran- tine. On the other hand the state board receives the certifi- cate money as pay for their ser vices, and the Pulaski county board has not yet determined whether the fees shall become their own or appropriated for sanitary purposes.
 City Attorneys Opinion.
 To the City Council, City of New
 port,
 Newport, Ark:
 Gentlemen-The com munication to you from the Board of Health from the City of Newport, and which you handed to me for my advice on, will say
 That, after having examined the statute (5525 Kirby's Dig) under which the Board of Health of this city is organized, I am of the opinion that the council could delegate, and by Ordinance No. 58 did delegate, to the Board of Health the right to make rules and regulations for it's government; but that the council alone could by ordinance provide the way in which the board could be compensated for it's services. The functions of the board are not legislative, and it could enact no rule or regula- ton providing a fee for it's ser- vices. The ordinance provides that the expenses of the Board of Health shall be paid by the city, upon proper certificate by the president of the board. The members of the board could not properly charge a fee flor cer- tifcate of health, because noth- ing in the statute authorizing the organization of the board or the ordinance under which it is cre- ated provides for such a fee. It is clearly, if the council see lit, it's duty to provide fee for such service, and also to provide to whom it shall go. And the council having provided in the ordinance under which the board acts no fee for this service, none could be legally charged.
 The council could by amend ment to the ordinance provide fee for issuing a certificate of health, and also to whom this fee should go.
 But in the absence of such pro vision, the members of the Board of Health could charge no fees :; because fees can only be charged when they are authorized by statute, or in the case of city, by ordinance.
 Yours respectfully,
 s. M. STUCKEY,
 City Atty.
