Meslco's Indian Wcren.

The beauty of Indian women is orc of the charms Of Mexico In the cap- ital. where the Indian has degen- erated through poverty and menial service it is less 10 be remarked than in the smaller towns and in the coun- try. But the beautiful faces one takes in memory away from Mexico are those Of Indian women. Fine eyes are universal. and. what one hardly ex. poets. the features. according to Cau- casian standards broad brows. straight noses, well-formed mouths and chins full but not gross or heavy. The expression is very generally intel. ligent. and often one is struck. both in Indian men and women, with the mo- bility and refinement of the coun. tenancs. One frequently sees types among the peons that seem to belong to some highly civilized ancient caste -an Egyptian priest of royal blood a Roman centurian. an Aztec emperor The women are gently lovely where they are beautiful, and the men at their best In carriage. in manners and In eountenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization.

Diamond Bearing Rock.

Col. ] A. Woodson of Little Rock and Walter Mauney of Pike county placed on exhibition recently at the Bureau of Mines. Manufactures and Agriculture dozen or more speci- mems of diamond ring rock selected from the diamond field territory near Murfreesboro from lands owned by Col. Woodson and MT. Mauney. The lands of Col. Woodson and MT. Mau- hey adjoin those of the Reyburn-Stifft syndicate, in fact nearly surround the latter Col. Woodson owns tract of l60 acres east of the Reyburn-Stifft syndicate holdings, and Mir. Mauney owns between $500 and 1000 acres. The specimens presented to the bureau are In various stages of de- composition. One piece of the perido- tite rock. taken from MT. Mauney's and and weighing about a pound is in a far advanced state of decomposition. It Is expected this rock will disinte. grate in about three weeks. and much curiosity has been aroused at the agri- cultural department as to whether it contains one of more diamonds, o. any The piece of rock will be closely watched and the process of disintegra- ton noted daily. There are other spec imens that will not decompose before the end of six months or a year. and until they decompose and crumble th. secret as to whether they contain dia- monds will not be diyulged.

MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
 and Attract Trade.

How to attract trade to towns is a question that interests every business man. There must be some attraction for people of the surrounding country: some entertainment to please. Many means have been put in operation by different towns to bring about the ob- jects desired. The people of the small. CT towns in different western states have inaugurated street carnivals. fall festivals and similar enterprises to entertain people from the surrounding farming sections. These methods have been universally successful, and have resulted in bringing trade to the towns that otherwise would have gone elsewhere. Not alone this, but the residents of the rural districts are brought in contact with the city peo- pie on friendly basis and harmonious relations established that are highly desirable
 In many towns market days have been established. From early spring until late in fall one day in the month Is set aside for market day" For this occasion bands of music are engaged, balloon ascensions, baseball games. races and similar attractions are em. pIoyed to interest the people All these are free, the expense being borne by the business interests of the town. The farmers are invited 10 bring to the town their horses, cattle, hogs. in fact, every product that shey have for sale. and the same is auctioned of to he best advantage. On these market lays all kinds of articles can be had II bargain prices. Each storekeeper makes special efforts to offer bargains, md generally the sales are enormous. few enterprsing small towns that have adopted the market-day idea ave become noted for many miles
 bout as lively trade ccnters and take rade away from territory in the neigh 1orhood of less enterprisins towns. The market-day idea is worthy of con sideration by business men in small owns who desire to pursue an inex. 'ensiye method of attracting trade to he place

Of Importance to Shippers

The Injunction recently granted by Federal Judge Trieber to prevent the Arkansas Railroad Commission from instituting suits under the act of the last General Assembly, known as the reciprocal demurrage law, Is of more importance to the shippers of Arkan- sas than Is perhaps generally realized. The temporary restraining order was granted on application of the St Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad to prevent the bringing of suits against that company as a result of alleged dis. elimination in ear supply in the coal neids of the State. It is said, however that its effect in this regard will be only temporary. l. is claimed that the commission has authority to proceed against the corporation for alleged dis erlmination under the statutes of the State, entirely independent of this law. The assertion was also made that suits recently ordered by the commission We're not under the discrimination clause of the demurrage law. but un- der the statutes. The commission. however, will take no action until the hearing is had on the restraining or. der on December 6. The most impor- tant provisions of the law which will be tested by this injunction, it is said, are those providing for demurrage charges, The consumuonality of the Q provisions has been frequently ques- toned.

FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.
Prosecution of Oppressive Combine. Afford Lesson 10 Home Traders.

Never before has there been such a stirring ID Of the masses and an awakening as to rottenness in fnan. eisl affairs among the large corpora. tions as at present Some one at one time said that when thieves fall out the devil gets his reward" So it seems at present when faction is ar rayed against faction in exposing crooked operations in great financial and business deals. in which the little fish are swallowed by the big ones, and the men in control. like wolves. lead the lambs 10 slaughter.
 It Is amazing how fsrspread are the frauds practiced. and how high up in public estimation are the manipula- tors of the rotten deals The stealings Of the millionaires and multi-million- aires, the intrigues and their perjuri- ous lying and misrepresentation to accomplish their aims, the intricacy of the machinery used in their opera tions. the perfection of the means, the combinations employed to fleece the people of dollars, would do credit to a Gagliostro or Machiavelli, or a Capt Kidd.
 There cannot be doubt that these various articles appearing in the mag azines and general newspapers will have the result of opening the eyes of the public 10 things that few hereto fore ever gave serious consideration. They will have the effect of making the people more cautious in making investments of their earnings, and will result in lessons that are bene- ficial to the country at large. Home trade principles preclude the possihil- fly of people losing by the operations Of such gigantic schemers Money in- vested in your own community in the development of it's latent resources will give excellent returns, is ever under your own observation, and while the percentage of profit from some home investments may not be up to the representations made by the ma nipulators of stocks and the shearers of lambs in general. you are not so likely to be loser.

Duty of Good Citizens.

Home and it's protection is the safe yuard of all government That citi- zen who has the love of home and fealty to home interests. is worthy representative of a commonwealth. It
 the mass of such men that are the backbone of any community, and, fguratively, the mainstay and the rock upon which the nations are founded Whoever lives in a com. munity and fails to support the pub lie institutions and does not assist in the building up of industries that add 10 the greatness of that community. is like an alien. While he lives one place his heart is in another He is not the ideal citizen. for he is not in harmony with those who are his neighbors. It is the duty of every resident of town or community to do his utmost To advance it's interest. By thus doing he not alone assists himself. but his neighbors. his town. his county, his state and his nation

EQUITABLE PROFITS.
Cost of Production Should Always Be
 Factor in the Matter of Prices.

Profits should bear an equitable re lation to cost of production. The farm. CT who has money invested in lands. agricultural implements, stocks, and other things necessary 10 carry on his business, when selling his products must take into consid Aration the inter. est on his money invested. the wear and teal, of farm equipment. the wages of hired help and a salary for his own service. N hen he sells his products for less than pays the expenses nee essary to carry on his work and culti- vate his crops. care for his stock. etc. he is the loser The same principles apply to the person engaged in any other line of business. There is inter- est on capital employed. wages. taxes license and cest of articles which com. prise the stock necessary for opera ton. Goods must be sold at a certain percentage Of profit or there will be a case for the sheriff or he bank ruptcy court. In dealing with our fellow men We should always bear in mind the principles of bus3n ness. and not exact too great profits or sell or buy at prices other than equitable. It is also good thing to remember when great harsains are offered that cost of production and legitimate profits must be considered. Too low prices give cause Tor suspicion that goods are inferior Tn some way. or that there Is Q "uigeer in tbe fence

Time 10 Awaken.

Any plan devised that tends toward greater business centralization makes easier the building up of harmful combinations During the past ten wears billions of dollars have been sent 10 the large cities by the resi- dent of rural communities. and these billions have been used in building I'D trusts that work against the best in. terests of the masses who resale in agricultural sections. Is if uot tisae to awaken to the dangers of sending money away from the home town?

TO PRETENDERS.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just word to you, Golfers" and other glaring examples of Modern Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
 Environment gives you a view point from which it Is difficult to under stand that some people even nowa- days act from motives of old fashion ad honesty.
 There are honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honest people who use them.
 Perhaps you are trained to believe there is no honesty in this world There Is, although you may not be of kind to understand it.
 Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training does not taint the old fashion ed person trained without knowledge of pretense and deceit.
 These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by fol- lowing the suggestions to quit the lOOu UT uIiuh WHICH Lldy De causing the physical complaints and change to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
 You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why the change makes a change in the cells of the body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge. makes not the slightest difference in the facts.
 You can print from old and worn plates all the cheap books your presses will produce and sell them as best you can, but such acts and your learned" editorials are but commer- cial, and seek only dollars and much by pretence.
 When you branch out into food values you become only ridiculous
 Stick to what you know. The field may be small but 1t is safe.
