i temptation to take q whack at Attorney General Rogers. and said Arkansas had the best anti trust law of any state in the Union, and If We had an attorney general who would take more in- terest in enforcing it and spend less time in endeavoring to put money in the pockets of attorneys the trusts would be driven from the state. He said they needed row n the United States Senate and If he got there would raise one. He said he thought he was elected Senator, but from the mutterings that came from the sore heads and the political .eorpses that were strewn along the way side he wasn't sure.

NERVOUS PEOPLE
Something You Ought to Know.

No nerves and never irritable This is what our well known druggist, Mir. A. G. Bedell says people report af- ter taking Ninol. 'It is remarkable ; said Mir. Bedell to the editor of the Graphic, "how many people buy seda tIves and all sorts of opiates to quiet are weakening their entire nervous system by doing so.
 Nerve troubles are easily cured : continued Mir. Bedell. ''It is simply a case of treating the general weakness, not the nerves alone, and that is just what Vinol does in the most direct and simple manner possible. It cures nerve troubles because it builds one up, and makes one strong all over. It invieorates the entire nervous sys- tenn, makes new blood and vitality.
 "Vinol contains no drugs, and you know what you are taking-simply the medicinal curatives found in cod liver oil with little organic iron add ed. It is fast superseding old forms of cod liver oil and emulsions be- cause it is so delicious to the taste and has such marvellous vitalizing power"
 It is for this reason that we say to GvprV pprVOuc rl1D- down and dohi1it at f. ed person in Pine Bluff, try Vinol, and if it does not cure you come back and get your money" A. G. Bedell, druggist.
