HOUSEHOLD HELPS

Rose leaves may be prepared in sew
eral ways for your potporri. Tie
leaves alone are very fragrant They
may be put in a jar the. cover loft of,
and stirred frequently until dry. Then
sprinkle with salt put the cover on,
and let, stand for a few days. and when
you raise the cover the fragrance is
delightful Another simple preparation
is to sprinkle the rose leaves with salt,
cinnamon, cloves, and powdered orris
root Arrange in layers like this until
the jar is filled. without stirring. The
odor obtained in this way IS most. re-
freshing and spicy.
To prevent nail biting procure a
tube of liquid court plaster and after
cleansing the hands thoroughly, apply
a drop to each finger tip, spreading
over the top of the nail. Allow this
to dry for three or four minutes be-
fore using the hands. 1t viii form a
hard. smooth scale. which sticks very
tight. In order to remove it the child
must willfully bite It of, and most
children only bite their nails from
nervousness. Renew the application
every other day. soaking the previous
paster away. The pride of the child
should be stimulated bv little judi
cious talk on the improved appearance
of the nails. the evils of biting the
nails and the pride one should have
in keeping the hands nice. A few pref
ty manicure articles will help wonder
fully, too. as viii also an occasional
visit to a professional manicurist, If
one be near.
It is a very easy matter to keep
your nails in good condition without
resorting to the aid of a professional
You must care for them every day
though, to obtain good results. File
them often, and always in oval shape
as the long, pointed effect is no longer
correct. Have a full. soft nail brush
and use It constantly. 1t should be
used on cake of soap and then scruf
your nails well. After washing tbs
hands always push the cuticle bacl
with a coarse towel. A prepared soar
of powdered CASTLE soap, eau d'
cologne, and lemon juice will keeT
vour hands smooth and white. Scrap'
a small cake of CASTLE soap to fine
powder and add one ounce each of eal
de cologne and lemon Juice. Mix wei
and form into cakes.

Bigger Than Washington.

In the hall of the House of Repre- sentatiyes there is what is alleged to be portrait Of George Washington. The portrait Of Washington, by the way, was described by Representa- tive George Chapline as resembling a ram more than man. It is a good sized portrait, but it is made to look small in comparison with the huge, unsightly portrait Of Bryan. Judge N. W. Norton, of Forrest City was a visitor to the House a few days ago. He conyersed with some members, and then his eyes ran across the art gal lery over the speakers desk.
 Do you know he said to Repre- sentative killough, as he scanned the portraits, Tit has just occurred to me how much bigger Bryan is than Washington.-Gazette.

Important Trade Mark Decision.

Lynchburg. Va. Feb. 4th. Ieo7.-A decision Of importance to al manufac. turers of trade mark goods has been awarded by Judge Prichard in the United States Circuit Court Of this district.
 The question involved was whether the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co. of Lynchburg, Va, has the legal right to use on it's Traveller brand of plug tobacco tag similar in size. shape. color, and slant of lettering. but diff ferent as 10 wording. from that used oy the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. of "inston-Salem, \. C.. on it's
 Schnapps" Plug Tobacco.
 In the argument, on motion of the plaintiff, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., that a restraining order be issued foroidding the defendant company from further initiating its tag. many ar5davits were submitted tending to show that owing to the similarity of the tags, the Traveller tobacco, pur- chased by dealers at a lower price. was sold 10 uneducated chewers for .'Schnapps.n
 In decree signed by Judge Prich- ard, the Allen Brothers Tobacco Con- pany is enjoined from manufacturing, putting up, advertising, selling, or offering for sale plug tobacco bearing 3 tag identical with or like the said tag of the complainant, known as the ''Schnapps" tag.
 According to this decision, no man. ufacturer can initiate even in color, shape, or style of lettering, the trade mark of another manufacturer, sven though the wording be entirely differ ent.

Report of Grand Jury.

Report of Grand Jury for the March
 Term, 1907, of the St. Francis
 Circuit Court.
 To the Hon. II. N. Hutton, Judge,
 Presiding:
 We, the grand jury, would respect fully submit the following report:
 We have been in session five 5 days, during which time we have inyesti- gated all violations of law which have come to our notice, and in pursuance of this duty we have examined forty six witnesses from whose evidence we have returned twenty-five true bills, twenty-two of which were for felonies and three were for misdemeanors.
 We find from the report of the com missioners of accounts that all of the officials have made their settlements As required by law.
 We find that all of the magistrates with the exception Of Hardy Owens. of Blackdsh Township No. ?, have made their reports, and we under stand that he is away from home most of the time which might account for his report not being filed.
 The committee from our body who visited the poor house reported they found fveinmates, consisting of three women, one girl and one man: one of them in particular, claimed they did not have enough to eat. We found the sanitary condition very bad We re- commend that the county judge look into the matter at once, and have all necessary changes made so that the poor people of the county shall be properly cared for.
 We examined the jail in body and found the sanitary condition very good, and the prisoners reported they were well fed. We found the jail crowded, and would recommend that there be some change made so that the prisoners can get more exercise.
 On assembling for business We found quite number of parties in jail and others out on bond who had been held from magistrates courts for our ac- tion, and in most of these cases we were unable to procure the papers from the examining trial, and it caused us considerable delay and trouble to get started ofi, and we would suggest that in the future all parties who have papers pertaining to cases which will come before the grand jury be more careful so as not to get the papers mislaid.
 Rsfore adjonrning we would thank your honor and the prosecuting at torney and all other officials who We have come in contact with, for courte-

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
 Bladder troubles almost always result from derangement of the kidneys and cure IS obtained quickest by prorer treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel. ing badly you can make no mistake by 'aking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

The mild and the extraordinary effect Of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

ARKANSAS SECURITIES.

The Amis bill to require life insur- ance companies to invest 75 per cent of the reserve fund collected from Arkansas policy holders in Arkansas interest-bearing securities, seems to us 10 be first-rate measure, benefi- eial alike to policy holders and con- pany, the only objection that we can see, being that if it effects invest ments already made, and should take effect at once, the company might be forced to make sacrifices of other securities in which they have already invested. We presume, however, that the bill protects the companies in this respect.
 This bill does not apply to Lodges or Secret Benefit Associations-only to old line Life Insurance Companies, who under their form of organization, maintain a reserve fund to protect the Policy Holders, and who invest this reserve in interest bearing securi- ties, mortgages, etc, in Wall street and the East. It simply requires them 10 invest D per cent Of the re- serve from Arkansas Policy Holders in Arkansas Securities. It does not require the Insurance Companies to do anything that they are not now doing, except to lend the money in Arkansas in place of piling it up in Wall street. And We believe Arkan- sas Securities are just as good as can be found anywhere.
 It seems to us this law is just and equitable and will not impose any hardship on the Companies, indeed it should be highly beneficial to the Companies, because interest rates in Arkansas are higher than they are in the East, so the Policy Holders will be beneiitted to that extent by such investments made in this State.
 Keep Arkansas money in Arkan- sas' ought to be the patriotic senti- ment of every progressive man in our State. The passage of the Amis h. surance Bill will do this so far as Life Insurance business is concerned. The bill has passed the senate. and 1t Is now up to the house.

 When we remember that this man was born two years before George Wash ington was elected President of the United States, and was a boy 12 years old when the Father of His Country died, we get some idea of the space of years his life covers He was 3 years old when Ben famin Franklin passed away.

For this of fense the recorder fined him BPS 30, besides the street tax of $3 and an extra sl .5O for the cost of collecting the tax.
