Russell Will Give Course of Lectures.
DR.. r. L. Russell, physician at the
state penitentiary and head of the
medical department of the Arkansas
National Guard, is now busily engaged
in mapping out a course of lectures
to be studied by all the men in his de-
partment. The doctor intends to pre-
pare a course which will demand rig
Id study and when it is completed he
is confident that he will have one Of
the best and most efficient medical
departments of any state guard
organization in the country. 1t is his
intention to make his men thoroughly
acquainted with everything in the
medical department and to have every
man thoroughly competent and able to
undertake any task which might be as
signed him in the way of surgery or
hospital work.
Dr. Russell is now securing new men
for the medical department and as
soon as his roll is full expects to start
the course of lectures. He already
has ten men and expects to secure
about ten more. He believes that he
will have his roll completed by May l.
DR.. Russell stated that he was endeav-
oring to secure men from all parts
of the state, men who stand high in
their respective communities, who
would as the result, do credit to the
guard, and who are also fairly we'll
acquainted with medicinal work
After securing a full quota of men
DR.. Russell will start his lectures,
mailing one lecture at regular inter
walls to each man I'nese lectures must
be studied and the men examined on
them later, possibly at the encamp-
ment. AT present the men have to
pass a physical examination only, but
at the encampment they will be re-
quired to pass a mental examination.

Paul Little Answers Rumors.

Paul Little, secretary to Acting Gov
ernor X. o. Pindall and son of Cover
nor John S. Little of Greenwood Tues
day issued a statement to the effect
that his father would never be permit
ted by either his family or physicians
to return to the office of governor uf
Arkansas during the present term to
which he has been elected and, furth-
ermore, that rumors to the effect that
Governor Little was recovering at
such a rapid rate that he intended to
return to his Office within the next go
days were the work of state politi-
clans, who desired to gain votes and
profit in the present Democratic pri-
mary by the rumor
Paul Titles statement, which was
issued Monday, was as follows:
March %. 1908
ITO the Public-From communica.
tons and statements which Governor
Pindall is receiving in his office, he
and are convinced that the various
reports concerning my fathers condi
ton, which have recently appeared in
the public press are being circulated
for political effect throughout the
state. 1t seems almost inhuman that
l should be expected to be constant
ly called upon to deny these false
rumors, concerning a matter in which
the people, the press, the politicians
and the public should at least consid-
er my feelings. My fathers unfor.
tunate condition is not political prop
erty, and no friend of mine, nor any
Just man would seek to use his cOndi-
ton for political advantage.
ITO a kind and generous public,
however, now that the matter has
again been brought up for discussion,
| desire to state for their satisfaction,
that though my father is greatly i'm
proved, and may, with the help of
God, completely recover, yet he will
never be permitted by his family and
physicians to at any time again take
up the arduous duties of the COVER
nor's office during his present tenure
in that Office. Very respectfully,
Paul Little

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Mase-Useful, Too.

Anything in the nature Of a chem
lea! experiment Is always interesting
and usually educative. Here Is SIM
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size OF pea, piece
of charcoal, q common candle in
candlestick, and blow-pipe. Scoop
out a little hollow In the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle. take the charcoal and lead In
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and IL
the White Lead is pure it will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat of the blowpipe, leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead Is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, 1t will
not wholly change into lead. So, 1t
will be seen, that this experiment Is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use In the home. White Lead Is the
most important ingredient Of paint.
1t should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using it, they will send free a
blow-pipe and valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York City.
