 Statements Under Oath.

Tn connection with the intense in. terest manifested by the public at large In the theory of l.. T. Cooper as to the human stomach being the source of nearly all i'll health. the statements of Mir. w. D. Spaulding. of HallOwell, Me, one of the oldest and best-known druggists in that state and of Mrs. Frederick Harvey. a we'll known nurse living in the same place will be interesting to thousands of persons who are today suffering from ailments directly traceable to the stomach. The fact that these state ments are made voluntarily. under oath. removes all element of doubt The statements follow:

ART YS. HAPPINESS.

Ut gives to children wrong con- ception of art, is the reason why a resolution was presented at the meet : ing of the Arkansas Federation of Woman's Clubs at Little Rock last week to petition the legislature to prohibit the circulation of comic sup : plements. Artists are born-not made but happiness is free gift to all, and sacrifices should be made to promote
 it. What is the pleasure derived from art in comparison To the happiness scattered abroad by the Sunday issues of "Comic Supplements" in the big
 dailies? Laughter is good medicine

The Anti-SalOOn League.

Last Sunday may we'll, and will be put down on the calendar as a great day for the prohibition cause in St. Francis county. Rev. G. W. Eichel- berger, D. D, of Fort Smith, who is employed by the Anti-Saloon League Of Arkansas. spoke three times to the people of Forrest City and strangers within her gates. in the interest of Statewide Prohibition. Churches and pastors gave up their usual ser vices and united in the rallying of forces for the cause of prohibition. In the morning MT. Eichelberger ad- dressed large and enthusiastic au- dience at the Baptist church. The abolishment of the saloon was pre- sented ''as duty towards our fellow men because of the injury it does them" In the afternoon he spoke of the Work, Methods, Purposes and Organization of the Anti-Saloon League" The evening service was held at the Methodist church, where a packed house listened to forcible presentation of Business and Politi- cal Reasons for the Abolition of the Saloon"
 At the close of the morning and evening services subscriptions amount ing to about $30OOO were taken for the work of the Anti-Saloon League.
 In the afternoon an organization of seventy-tive members was effected. The evening service increased the membership to one hundred and fifty.
 Prominent and representative citi- zens of Forrest City are taking lead ing and active part in the org ganiza- tion, and. il is growing steadily and rapidly in members and in favor
 The officers are as follows: Presi- dent. Rev. Boone l.. Milford: Secre- tary and Treasurer, l. c. Sanders: First Vice President, O. B. Rollwage; Second Vice President, F. G. Pettus; Third Vice President, T. o. Fitzpat- rick: Fourth Vice President, Dr. J. T. Longest.
 The whole of St Francis county is to be thoroughly organized and en- listed in the movement against the saloon that is sweeping over the south. The speaker in his several ad- dresses presented some striking thoughts. He said the daily expenses of the United States government are s2 900, 900. The daily running expenses of the saloons of the country are 8, O0O, 900, making the saloons two and one-half times as expensive to this country as the whole machinery of its government.
 He also said: If land is worth $25 an acre, every drink of whiskey repre-. sents the swallowing of strip of soil one foot wide by twenty feet long, ,and that travelling men are all testifyinp that dry towns are better trading
 
 cially in hardware. dry goods, shoe. and clothing and supplies for womeI and children.
 "The money paid over saloon coun ters every year in Arkansas alone, he said, lis the sum of $6, 400. 600 Each saloon in the state average. sl6, 900 per year. The saloons of For rest City pay into the treasury 86OOt yearly, and collect from the town an, county sl20,OO0
 Wet towns are always more il debt than dry towns"
 If we may judge from the large au diences which greeted Mir. Eichel berger, the people of this city auG county are deeply interested in thi movement, as no other attraction ha been accorded such a large and at

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, fol the reason that 1t is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratify- ing to sufferers to know that Cham. berlain's Pain Balm will afford relief and make rest and sleep possible.
