Americans Make q Mistake In Eating
Too Much Meat.

Most Americans in the tropics make
the mistake of eating large quantities
Of beef and salt meat. The best and
cheapest fish market in the world Is
found right at our doors. Spanish
mackerel at ~ cents pound can be
had any day. Fifty cents will fur
nish fish for so people. The longosta
del mar is a forty-secOnd cousin Of
the American lobster and altogether
toothsome. It may be ordered the
day before and delivered alive at your
door.
Mindanao coffee will not be found In
the market just now, but Senior Tor
rejon. our enterprising grocer, will
secure it soon. The writer will then
tell the ladies how to make coffee from
the best bean in the world. The Sim
gapore coffee sold in the Chinese
stores is infinitely superior to the COM
missary brand and can be freshly
roasted. without which no coffee
should ever be drunk.-Mindanao

Iron Mountain Cuts Up Schedule

Little Rock, Jan. 2.-The local passenger agent for the Iron Mountain, W. C. Barnes, arrived home yesterday from St. Louis, where he attended a conference of Iron Mountain officials held for the purpose Cf determining upon the new winter schedule for the Mountain. Mir. Barnes an nounces a number of changes in the schedule, the changes having been made for the betterment of the local traffic between Tex arkana and St. Louis.
 Contrary to reports to that eff feet, no trains have been cut out. All of the trains now in opera tion will continue to be operated with a lessening of mileage in some cases. No. i, southbound local, which arrives at Little Rock at 1;30 a. m, will be con- tinued, but will operate between St. Louis and Popular Bluff only. No. P. northbound, which leaves here now at 3 o'clocK in the morn ing will also be continued, but it will operate only between St. Louis and Hoxie. Little Rock was cut out on both trains, be- cause of the fact that both were operated in this territory at a time of night when there was no business at this end.
 The train which leaves here now, northbound, at 1 o'clock in the morning will leave about 6:3O in the morning. The train which left about 9 o'clock at night will leave about ; in the evening. Those changes are also made in order to insure more traffic at this end of the line, as the pre- sent hours of departure are either too early or late to attract traffic here.

The cIean-Up Chorus

Nothing is more amusing. if not to say significant, than the late anxiety of the liquor trade and it's political allies to clean up the saloon It seems to be ac cepted as a foregone conclusion that the liquor business as now conducted cannot continue to receive even the toleration of the American public.
 Midas Criterion, one of the foremost of the liquor advocates of the country, ssys; It should be recognized that we are up against condition and not a theory, and it is high time to set our home in order and remove any pretext for hos tility. The primary duty of the liquor in- terest is to establish the saloon on basis of law and order. To do this, law breakers must be driven out of the business etc"
