What Is It?

For several days recently farmers in the vicinity of Albertha, Randolph county, have been missing their stock, which strayed into the woods A number of citizens concluded to search the woods and ascertain the cause of the absence of their stock. They armed themselves with shotguns and started for the forest About 50 farmers, mounted and accompanied by number of dogs, took part In the search. They believed that some wild animal was roaming the woods and was responsible for the disap- pearance of their horses and cattle. They found plenty of evidence i'll the way of dead and crippled stock to convince them that some terrible beast was getting in his work, but they were unable to locate the monster. Another hunt has been arranged for with a larger crowd, and it is believed the hunters will be more successful.

The Sophomore was drawing his hands leisurely out of the pockets of his trousers, and reluctantly stow.ng away under his arm small Greek lex icon, textbook of Aristotle, and an English translation.

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
 and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard time. To take "tonics and stimu. lants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see If you can put it out.
 The right kind of food promotes re- freshing sleep at night and wide awake individual during the day.
 A lady changed from her old way of eating. to Grape-Nuts. and says:
 For about three years l had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medi- cine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes. then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving. gnaw- ing feeling would start up, and l would vomit everything l ate and drank.
 When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely.
 My mother was very much both. cred with diarrhea before conmenc. ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom- ach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using GrapeNuts she is well. and says she don't think she could live without it.
 "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder. for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by bad stomach" There is ns medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good nights sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape Nuts"

Of importance to Arkansas Land Own.

A decision has been handed down in the United States Court of Appeals at St. Louis which may affect the own CTS of thousands of acres of land in Arkansas. The case was one where the original owners sued to reclaim title to nearly a thousand acres of land in Crittenden county, Arkansas, which had been sold for taxes in suits prosecuted by the St Francis leyee district The original owner was A. H. Johnson The land was sold for taxes to Charles w Hunter Rebecca A. Johnson. the plaintiff and an heir, claimed that proper notice was not given that a tax suit was pending. The District Court of Arkansas, how. ever, affirmed the sale. The case was appealed, and the court in St. Louis decided that because no affi- davit was filed tc show that Johnson was not fin Crittendon county and was resident of Ohio, as alleged. the de- cision was reversed. If Johnson had been in the county at the time the suit was filed, he should have been served with notice. The notice was published, as was right, if he were not in the county. The leaving out of the affidavit, which probably was done in other like cases, caused the title to be reverted to the original owners. Johnson was the head of the Land and Lumber Company.

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.

Dr. Herman Reinbold. the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure alum baking pow. der is better and less injurious than the so-ealled cream of tartar powders. He says that If the quantity of alum contained in sufficient quantity of baking powder for batch Of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be con- eentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate. 1t could do no harm. On the contrary, alum is wholesome in proper quanti. ties. This is undoubtedly the reason the State of Missouri quickly repealed a law that prohibited the manufacture of the most wholesome of all baking powders. So much for Alum Baking Powders.

for there had been nothing on the

since the days when the Britannia,

GULF OF MEXICO IS DEER.
Two Thousand Fathoms the Figure
Established by HydrographIc
Office.

An elaborate report has just been
received at the navy department
from Lieut.. Solely, U. s. n, on the
gulf stream. Lieut.. Solely has
charge Of the photographic office at
New Orleans, and he shows conclu-
sively in his report that the gulf
Stream has an existence in the gulf
of Mexico, fact which has hitherto
been in dispute.
According to Lieut.. Solely the
stream flows in the gulf Of Yucatan
channel, where the water is deep,
200 fathoms in the center, and
flows out through the straits Of
Florida, where the depth is less
The center of the gulf is a deep hole
of large area, more than 1000 faith
oms deep, and the water here is very
cold. The main current of the gull
is a distinct part of the gulf stream
1t comes from the equatorial cur
rent flowing westward through the
Caribbean sea, which is warm, with
temperature of 80 degrees, until
It flows into the cooler waters of the
gulf by the Yucatan channel. The
stream follows the general line Of
the coast until it passes out by
Florida. There are some counter
currents in the gulf A notable
fact is that the currents Of all th'
rivers emptying into the gulf Of
Mexico turn to the right-to the
west lat Mobile and the delta Of Tho
Mississippi, and to the :
he Mexican coast.
