WRITES ABOUT SIDEWALKS
W. w. Martin Says Council is Doing What
 It Thinks Right

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:-I regret very much to see so much friction about the grades and about the construction of the sidewalks. It is not in keeping with the action of the citizens heretofore in regard to putting down walks. The council is doing what it believes to be the best for all the citizens. It is absolutely necessary to have good walks to the Normal build ing and the public school and the colleges. The council is working to that end. The good people must remember that we can not have everything our own way. Allowances must be made for the fills and for the cutting down of the high places. Trees must be removed where they are in the way. There is no other remedy that we know of but to pull down the high places and to fill up the low places and take up the trees where they are ill the way. l am satisfied that after the work is done you will be better pleased than you think, for you certainly cannot think the council is trying to do anyone an injury. We are trying to build up and to beautify the city as we and everyone should do. But for my devotion to the city and its interests 1 would sit quietly down and let things rock along easy. w. w. MARTIN.

A JOINT HALL TO BE BUILT
Odd Fellows and Woodmen to Erect New
 Lodge Hall Here.

For some time the local lodges of Odd Fellows and Wco6men oi the World have been figuring on the erection of a joint lodge hall in this city and the matter will be definitely decided at some time in the near future. Several locations are under consideration and the choice of site is the principal cause of delay in building.
 Among the lots i'll view are sev- eral on North Front street, one on the west side of the public square and one on East Oak street, ad- joining the property of s. R. Eth ridge. The Woodman lodge met last night and it is stated that their committee favors the last named location, John Hartley having agree to donate the lot on condi- tion that he is given an interest in one of the walls of the building.

Food Value of Milk.

The food value of milk is brought out forcibly in a recent pamphlet writ ten by Prof J. B. Lindsey of the Massachusetts College of Agriculture. and published by the State Board of Agriculture.
 Milk of average quality at market prices furnishes more food for the money than do more expensive kinds of meat such as beef. mutton, and pork and is much cheaper than such special foods as eggs or oysters, or most vegetables and fruits. Only breakfast foods, etc, are cheaper sources of energy than milk. A glance at Professor Lindsey's table shows that milk at six cents quart fur nishes the same amount of protein as round beef at sixteen cents or roast pork at twelve cents. That is to say, a dollars worth of either of these foods contains an equal amount of pro- tein. Even where milk is sold as high as ten cents per quart, dollar will buy as much protein when spent for milk as If spent for lamb chops at twenty-five cents per pound, sirloin beef at thirty cents, or eggs at thirty six cents per dozen.
 Professor Lindsey thinks milk should occupy a larger place in daily diet than is ordinarily given. In ex- periments at the Maine State College it was found that when the students were allowed free use of milk the ex- tra milk consumed replaced the other animal food to nearly corresponding extent, and the milk diet was not only less costly than the meat, but was fully as satisfactory. When skim-milll is used the food value is obtained at even less cost since the value as food does not depend very much on the cream, and at the price at which it is valued in most country districts about one-half cent a quart it is one of the very cheapest foods, and can be used to advantage in place of water in cooking adding greatly to the value of the foods with which 1t is mixed Hardly any food returns so much of it's foodvalue because there Is no loss in cooking and no waste. It is pala- table easily digested, and according to Professor Lindsey Is entitled to be classed among the most economical human foods.

Address were delivered to the visitors in the o. R. C. hall this morning by Major w. K. Duley of Little Rock and Mayor w. C. Faucette of Argenta.

 Should Bryan be elected Presi- dent of the United States, there will be dead fish along the banks of the Arkansas river for days after the announcement has been made. In the yard of the state house is an old cannon, mounted on a pile of bricks, and which for the part il took in the Brooks Bax- ter war when 1t was trained on the state house, became known as the "Old Lady Baxter" This gun has the bore of a six inch cannon, and has been all ornament in the state house grounds ever since the Brooks Baxter feud, but if Bryan is elected the old gun will come again into service. Col. Colquett of the auditors office volunteers to be the gunner on that occasion, and if Bryan comes under the wire a winner, the state house force will load the old gun on a barge, anchor it in the river, and Col. Colquette will charge the can- non as he did others in the civil war, though with heavier charge and apply the fuse which will wake the natives of the farthest hills in Arkansas.

WHAT MAKES IT SO?
in Central Arkansas

VAlH NlfANLO SO: An apt illustration, de- scribed in a word picture, by a Banking-b -by-mail ad- vertisement describes the situation and difference when you don't progress and keep ill the front ranks of commercialism: Time was when men lived and died in their narrow valleys and had no com- lnerce beyond their native village. Others were wait ed i'll their fairy barks by incons,ant winds over treacherous seas that do but connect the lands they divide.
 Today great ships, floating cities, blow the waves to every port, bear ing swift mails. Conti- nents are bound by bands of steel, and trains fly with the mails from sea to sea. State lines dis appear. The world is one country and all men are brothers.
 So to keep in the march of civilization we strive to be in front, surround ing ourselves with the safest, best and most modern methods known with which to do a safe, sound and profitable bus mess.
 Our customers, so long entrusting their business to us deserve this, and we wish to state now, as heretofore, our aim is first, absolute protection for our customers whose business we ask, then we know our success is sure.
