maidstone was brought to that city by
Boss Golden, hunter from Perry

is applied to the wound inflicted by n
rabid animal, and is supposed TO alb

science does not give credence to the
belief. There is one stone in New Or

Aged Man Dies From Exposure.

Judge j. J. Sans, who was nearly
100 years old. and probably the oldest
ex-county judge in Arkansas, died
Tuesday from exposure, following his
son, S. S. Sans, near Oxford, lizard
county. Judge Sans, who was very
feeble and practically helpless, had
a narrow escape from being burned to
death in the house. He was rescued
with the greatest difficulty, but the
efforts of his rescuers proved fruitless
as the exposure in the rain and cold
resulted in his death few hours later
Judge Sans was county judge of lizard
county from 1852 to 1854.

Poor of City Want Work, Not Charity.

"The demand among the poor peo-
pie of Little Rock this winter for as
sistance is different from what it has
been in past years" said Adjutant j..
Howard of the Salvation Army. THE
people whose homes we have visited
merely want employment-not charity
offerings. They would be offended if
they were included in the list of char
ity subjects, and instead of asking
for aims, they ask for employment.
While the number of unemployed will
reach several hundred, l don't believe
that as few as per cent of this num-
Der are really unable to work. Fully
95 per cent are able to work and not
only able to work, but anxious for en-
plOyment.

commutes Death Penalty of Negro.

Governor Pindall Monday committed
to life Imprisonment, the sentence of
death of Colonel Jones, a negro SEN
fenced to be hanged February IA,
in Miller county, after having been
convicted of murder. The governor
took this action at the close of hear
ing which he conducted in the eXecu-
tive chambers at which attorneys both
for and against the negro presented
their case The sentence was COM
muted after the Supreme Court had
refused an appeal to that court. The
governor based his decision on two
grounds; first, on the statement of
the jurors who convicted the negro;
secondly, on the ground that the ne
gress whom Jones killed was alleged
to have been of low character and, &C
cording to the reasoning of the exc
cutive, not entitled to as much pro-
lection from society as one who is of
higher moral stamp and who aids in
maintaining the welfare of society by
a conformity with moral requirements.
In that connection the governor took
up one of the social questions of the
day. His proclamation committing
the negro's sentence is one of the
most lengthy ever written by any gov
ernor of Arkansas.

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.


fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts OF
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) con-
tain Natures brain and nerve building
ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way we prepare the food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
"The Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range OF
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
THE gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of the brain.
"Of course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by it's own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fuid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
THE ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes of life? 1t will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
PERTAINING company, take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-f1uid,
and that deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup
ply deficiencies-this is the only law
of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate OF
Potash is not properly of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of GrapeN Nuts are
legion.
