4 HARD YEAR
 FOR LAT ARRH An Eminent Authority Pre- diets Much Suffering and Disease and Tells of 3 Mixture.
GIVES GOOD ADVICE
A Simple Home Prescription Whic!' Sufferers Should Make Up and Try as It Don't Cost Much-Easiiy
 Prepared by Anyone and Harmless.

The coming months will be a har-
 test for the doctors and patent nedi- cine manufacturers unless great care is taken to keep the feet dry, also dress warmly.
 This advice should be needed by all who are subject to rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles and espe- cially catarrh. While the latter is con- sidered by most sufferers an ineura- ble disease, there are few men or Wo- men who will fail to experience great relief from the following simple home prescription, and if taken in time it will prevent an attack of catarrh dur ing the entire season.
 Here is the prescription which any one can mix: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 But unless you go to the trouble to ask the druggist for the Dandelion and Sarsaparilla separately, and then buy one ounce Kargon Compound, in an original (unopened) package, plainly printed, Guaranteed No. 10S under National Drug Law, and mix the Kargon with the other ingredi- .ents at your home, you had better not use this effective prescription at all. It may be worse than useless, per- thaps even harmful, and your money wasted. Under no circumstances ac- .cept any excuse for offering it to you that way. Purchase separately the Kargon Compound, No. 10S Guarantee, as explained above, and mix these three ingredients at home yourself, ,or don't use at all.
 The Compound Kargon in this pre- 4scription acts directly upon the elimi- native tissues of the kidneys to make shem filter and strain from the blood, the poisons that produce all forms of catarrhal affections. Relief is often,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-11-14

felt even after the first few doses and it is seldom that the sufferer ever ex- |periences a return attack within the |year.
 This prescription makes a splendid |remedy for all forms of blood disor- ders and such symptoms as lame back, bladder weaknesses and rheumatism pains are entirely dispelled.
 As this valuable, though simple, re- cipe comes from q thoroughly reliable source, it should be needed by every afflicted reader.

WRITES TO HIMSELF
TO ASSIST MEMORY
University of California Professor Has
Found Method of Overcoming
His Tendency to Absent-
n1indedness

e. T. Off, president of the state pharm-
acy board, tells a good story on one Of
the professors in the pharmacy college
of the University of California, most
methodical man who is no longer as
young as he used to be. Off tells the
tale thuswise:
II was talking to the professor the
other day when he said to me, almost
with tears in his voice:
loft, I'm losing my memory. It's a
fact, and can't escape it. l have tried
all sorts of devices to assure my re-
membering engagements, but all failed
until finally hit upon the plan I'm fol-
lowing now.
"'From my boyhood, Off, I was trained
always to answer my correspondence
That I never forget. So now, when
find my memory at fault, this lifelong
habit stands me in good stead.
"I always carry in my pocket a bunch
of postal cards, addressed to myself.
Now, when anything comes up that 1
want to remember later, 1 merely jot 1t
down on one of these cards and mail the
card
The scheme works finely. I haven't
missed an engagement since I adopted
the postal card system, though If 1 were
merely to make note of the matter in
a memorandum book 1 would be certain
either to lose the book or to forget to
look at it, "

TURNS ON
GAS TO DIE
QUARRELS WITH HIS WIFE AND
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
is NEARLY DEAD WHEN FOUND
BY LANDLADY
Several Hours Work Required to Re-

Declare Condition Still

G. q. Hess, mechanic l.vipg in fur
nished apartments at 602 Wall street,
while in a fit of dependency attempted
to commit suicide yesterday morning by
turning on the gas.
Hess was alone in his rooms at the
time, his wife being absent on visit to
friends at the Hotel Blakesley.
He plugged up the keyholes in the doors,
tightly closed the windows and then
turned on two Illuminating burners and
three burners of a gas stove In the rear
room and lay down on the bed to die.
Before composing himself for his last
9eep Hess wrote on a card wf---h was
found on the bureau the following note:

in the vicinity state that the husband and
wife had had several bitter quarrels
within the past day or two and that the
woman had left him Saturday to go to
the home of friends because she was
afraid of him.

self of the troubles of this world, Hess
made failure.

MORBID JOKER FINDS FUN IN
FAKE OBITUARIES
RESIDENTS LEARN
THEY ARE DEAD
Suburban Weekly Papers Are Vietim-
lied by Some One Who Gives
Fictitious Name and Lives on
Vacant Lots

Some individual, apparently with de-
sire to infiict unnecessary pain on SYM
pathetic persons, has of late sent numer-
GUS fake obituaries to weekly newspaper
publishers in and near Los Angeles, as
result of which there have been unneces-
sary tears, frenzied correspondence and
telephoning and waste of car rare.
This person assumed names at random
apparently in sending these fake death
notices to the smaller newspapers and
after they were printed the sad news
would reach the victim of the writeup or
the "bereaved" family, If the name
selected happened to be that of resident
here.
Then, after the explanation period had
elapsed, began the hunt for the anony-
nous writer of the notices. So far 1t has
been fruitless. The culprit has not been
found.
He-or she-uses q typewriter as rule,
though now and then ink served the pur-
pose.
The notices were invariably signed with
a fictitious name of some one residing on
a vacant lot, and the editors printed the
notices in good faith, usually without in
vestigation.
Warnings Issued
Warnings have gone out, and no more
premature death notices will be printed
for while, 1t Is thought.
Several of the alleged victims of the

VETOED
BELIEVED COUNCIL WILL
SUSTAIN THE GOVERNOR
Understood Objection Is Made
to Provision Authorizing
County Commissioners to
Fill Vacancies in Own Board,
The Morning Journal Bureau
Santa Fe, n. NJ. Feb. IS.

Governor Hagerman today returned
to the council without his approval
council bin No. .. the Martinez bill
restoring to boards Of county COM
missioners the power to fiji vacancies
in county offices, which was taken
away from those boards by a bin in
troduced by Mr. Martinez I'm 1901,
which gave this power to the gov
ernor. The governors dlsapproVal ot
the present bin will probably be sus-
tanned by the council When the veto
message came in this afternoon Presi-
dent SpicSs did not allow the council
To act on the message at al. did not
allow il To be read and referred Il mt
once to the committee on rules of
which Air Martinez is chairman. The
proceeding was "A surprise to the mem
hers of the 'council who contend that
Mr., S9ieSs' action is not sustained by
parliamentary rules or the rules of
the council. However this may be- the
apparent haste to get the bill out OF
the hands of the council ana into tn"
hands of the committee. the chair
man of which is known to favor the
bill in its present form. Is taken To-
indicate that there are not enough
votes In the council to pass the bill
over the veto. The veto message was
therefore not read to the council and
its contents, are not known. II ~
known however, that Governor lFa--
german favored the original MARITIME
bill returning the power to tlll vacan-
cies in county offices to the county
commissioners; aud it Is believed that
his objection to the bill now * based
on an amendment added in the house
giving the county commissions power
to fiji vacancies In their own boards.
This provision did not exist in the law
prior to 1901. which the original
Martinez bill intended to restore. Prior
to that time al vacancies in county
offices were filled by the commission
erS, except vacancies In the county
boards which We're filed by the gov
ernor. The disadvantage Of allowing
county commissioners to ill vacancies
in their own board has been frequently
pointed cut since this bin passed last
week.
This of course would not only leave
the way open To dissensions but to
possible abuses, and to peaccable
tie .up Of all county business. From
the best Information to be had to-
night the governors veto VIII be suS-
tanned when the committee on rules
reports it to the council,
