TACK THIS UP.
Simple Advice Which May Prove of
 Untold Value.

At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kidneys, or weak ness and Urinary trouble, the follow ing simple prescription should be used:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime
 Any good prescription pharmacy will supply these three ingredients at small cost, which can easily be mixed by shaking well in a bottle This is said to force the Kidneys to filter the sour acids and poisons from the blood, overcoming the worst cases of Rheu- matism.

Growth in Canninq Industry.

The growth of the Arkansas can hing and preserving industry during the last seven years has been some thing remarkable According to the attest census office figures this indus try between the years 1900 and 1905 has quadrupled. In 1900 there were but S33,03S invested in this industry. Five years later there were more than S124,000 invested in the canning ar preserving business. The number of establishments during that time was almost doubled In 1900 there were 34 establishments; five years later there were 67 such establishments. There is only one other state in the country whose canning and preserving industry has made more rapid strides than that of Arkansas, viz, South Carolina

FulIer's Earth in Large Quantities.


 Among the valuable clay deposits in Arkansas are thousands of acres of Fuller's earth, portion of which is declared to be as good as that mined in England. This earth is rich in chem ical qualities that make is valuable in refining processes. In this connec- ton it is known that there is market at present for at least 0,000 cubic yards of genuine Fuller's earth, and possibly 100000 cubic yards. The call for this par ticular kind of clay comes from an eastern market. At the office of the commissioner of mines and agriculture it was stated that Ar kansas possesses some deposits of Full lers earth that is as valuable as any to be found in the entire world. Rich deposits of this clay are to be found in the vicinity of Little Rock, there being copious deposits in both Pulaski and Saline counties. From a local standpoint, Fuller's earth is very val uable to the cotton seed oil millerS, and it is stated that the mill men own or control great tracts of the lands in which the peculiar clay is found The peculiarity, or rather pro- Derty, of Fu.ler's earth is that it is l cleanser and an absorbent of grease.

The official figures showing the trade between the United States and non-contiguous territories = Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico-are worth studying. The total in 1906 was s131, 100000, against less than $100,000,00O in 1904. This is rightly regarded as indicating extraor dinary growth. And that Uncle Sam Is a generous patron of his depend ents' is apparent from the returns which prove that the United States buys much more of them than they buy of Americans. However, all of the territories are making bigger and bigger purchases of this country.
