as man who knew every foot of the
country. knew the mining game as it
is played by men beneath the surface
and knew the-intricacies of the profess

WENT.To TEA
And 1t Wound Her Bohbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects pee. pie as badly as coYee. A lady in Sails bury, Md, says that she was con- pelled to abandon the use of coffee . good many years ago, because 1t threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her.
 She further says: "As this time was induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and was so much pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I com. menced to improve at once, regained my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight.
 T know Postum to be good, pure and healthful, and there never was an article, and never will be, I believe, that does so surely take the place of coffee. as Postum Food Coffee. The beauty of it all is that 1t is satisfying and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as if could not sing it's praises too loud." Read "The Road to Melville" in pkga "There's Reason"

Both gentlemen are familiar with the character of the land in that section and say there is none better in the world for farming purposes, They ex- pect to remain several days in eastern ..Arkansas before. returning tp Wash.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
 mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov. Hughes, the New York Legislature de- cided to make no radical changes in the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has already accomplished wide spread reforms, with proportionate benefits to policyholders, and that 1t should be given a thorough trial be- fore any amendments were seriously considered. It is estimated that the cost of the mismanagemento of the past did not average more than 20 cents to each policyholder, while the benefits to present and future policyholders will amount to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed cessive cost of securing new business was the most extravagant evil of the old arrangements. Under the new regime the cost of new business has already been greatly reduced, along with other economies.
 The showing made by the Equitable Life Assurance Society in it's report for 1906 was strong argument against meddling with the new law. In the Equitable alone there was saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses, besides an increase in the income from the Society's assets amounting to as much more. The ratios of the Equitable's total expenses to it's total income was 19.42% in 1904, 17.38% in 1905, and only 14.48% in 1906. The dividends paid to Equitable policy. holders in 1906 amounted to $7,289,73 which was an increase of more than 9% over 1905.
 While the Equitable made better showing than any other big company. all reported radical economies and un- der such conditions the Legislature wisely decided to leave the law sub stantially as 1t stands.

There is no duty more imperative upon the Unions than that of impress ing the young people with the lessons of thrift, honesty and economy. The daughters of the farmers should live to become the wives of good men and the mothers of righteous children, and the sons should have every opportu- nity and every incentive to make worthy husbands of such women-but what task it would be to work some of the raw material that is now con- ing on into such ideal patterns!

 Charity of the Rich.

 "The average charity, the charity of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler.
 "'Why,' said man to this young lady, do you always carry bottle of liniment with you on your fishing ex' cursions?'
 She sighed.
 CT am sorry she said plaintively. for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one oil the hook, l always rub it's cut mouth with some liniment.

Go ahead and do the diversification noggin that diversifcation means to simply change to some other crop. That is rank nonsense. The farmer who quits planting cotton and plants a sole crop of peanuts is not a diversi- fer at all. He is simply a one-crop man, as he was before If he cuts out part of his cotton and puts a part of his land in peanuts, he has started on the road to diversification.

When man attends to his own business, it Is apt to be as well done as he knows how to do it. When a number combine for the purpose, and play an honest part, there is the com bined wisdom of many men. This is the fundamental idea of the Farmers Union. It is to unitedly look after the farmers best interests that there is such an organization. It is to do this thing better that the principle of edu- cation is emphasized in the name and inculcated in all the work of the order.

Revenue From Franchise Tax.

The Combs law which was passed by the recent legislature requiring all corporations doing business in the State of Arkansas, whether foreign or domestic, to pay franchise tax, the amount based on capitalization, on or before the first of July of each year, has already brought some revenue to the state treasury, six cor porations having paid to the secre- tary of state $375. So far no objec- tion has been made to the payment of the tax, nor has it been suggested in any quarter that any question would be raised as to the legality Of the act. There are more than 10000 corporations subject to the payment of the tax. The law provides that com panies having an authorized capital stock of not over $25,000 are each required to pay an annual tax of $lO; those having s25,00O and not over S100,000 stock, $25. those having more than $100,000 and not over $50O,0OO, $50; and all over $500,000 stock, $100.

In closing his address he said: Tt is the only historic spot left in our state which can best connect the past with the future; it has been the era. dle of our statesmen; it has been the home, at some time or other, of every great public man which the state of Arkansas has produced; within it's walls our laws have, for nearly 70 years, been enacted, construed and eX- ecuted.
