We think that the next year will be a most important one in which to make Arkansas histC"y. Political factions, which have been a menace to the growth an1 SdevelOpment of the state for the past decade, have now been Ob- litera ted to a very large degree. And we can see no great reason why Arkansas should not make some long, and permanent strides to the front. Let our people take proper action along the proper lines, and prosperity with pro- gross. is bound to follow-the ta X rate that we now advertise to the world, is enough within it. self, to drive millions of capital from our borders, which should
 and ought to be profitably in- vested here. Our tax rate can be reduced, and if it is not done
 it will simply be @ failure on the part of men in authority, to do their duty.--Okolona Messenger.

ECO GIVES CAKES FLAVOR.
Indian Meal, However, Can Be Made
 Satisfactory Substitute.

Pancakes are more tender when additional food value and also good ~utty flavor which the cakes baked without lack. When eggs are high tablespoonful of Indian meal can be substituted for the egg with satisfac- tory results. Made with sour or but termilk and soda they are more deli cate than when the sweet milk and baking powder or soda and cream of tartar is used. One or two chopped apples or a cup of huckleberries stirred in the batter at the last afford pleasing changes from time to time. The batter for pancakes should be a thin or a sour batter.
 A general rule for thin batters Is a scant measure of the liquid to a full measure of flour. If soda and cream of tartar are used, allow level tea spoonful of soda and two rounded tea spoonfuls of cream of tartar to each quart of flour. If baking powder, three rounded teaspoonfuls to each quart of four. Where sour milk is used, the general proportion is tea spoonful of soda to a pint of sour milk. To make the sour milk cakes sift into pint of flour half tea spoonful of soda. Mix thoroughly. Add a scant pint sour milk and beat well. Then add the beaten yolk of one egg and. lastly, tho whipped white folded in. Bake on hot, well-greased griddle, turning as soon as the top IS full of bubbles. Bake until the cake stops puffing and serve at once. Some good cooks prefer to mix the sour milk with the flour over night, adding the salt. soda and egg in the morn ing. For a variation in these cakes. use half or one-third fine cornmeal, graham or whole wheat flour.

The Consumption Fight.

Every other day sees a sanatorium,
association, or disreusary for the treat
ment or prevention of tuberculosis es
tablished in this country, is a statement
issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. During the months of
September and October, Is associations,
10 sanatoria, and dispensaries were
started or provided for in the United
States, making record of achievement
in anti-tuberculosis activity never be-
fore equelled in any country of the
world. The stimulus for this wave of
philanthropic endeavor has been de-
rived largely from the recent Interna-
tional Congress or tuberculosis.
There are now in this country 21l
associations, with a total membership
of 10000, formed to fight tuberculosis,
aud it is estimated that the army will be
doubled within a year. These associa-
lions are all philanthropic in organiza-
ton.
The dispensary movement, one of the
later phases in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign, is also receiving great inn
petus. Four years ago, there were only
IS dispensaries in the United States; at
the present time, there are l65, and new
ones are being established at the rate
of one week. These dispensaries are
places to which anyone who thinks he
has consumption, or knows that he
has the disease, may go and be exam
ined and given proper advice and treat
ment free of charge, or for very small
sum. The emphasis in these institu-
lions has been laid on regular and
sanitary life on the part of the patient,
and on his sleeping in the open air.
