State Sanitation Society Proposed.

The organization of an Arkansas Sanitation Society, to be composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state, property owners, doctors, lawyers and business men and to have for it's purpose the prevention of disease by sanitation, is now being talked by many physicians through out the state
 Definite steps toward the organiza- tion of such a society will probably be taken soon
 Already Dr. J. c. Minor of Hot Springs, major surgeon of the Arkan- sas Natonal Guard, whose methods in keeping the Arkansas encampment in perfect sanitary condition at Leon Springs, Tex. brought forth many compliments from regular army offi- cers, has taken up the project and is pushing It as rapidly as possible. He has announced that he will attempt to interest state and municipa! officers in the movement.
 Concerning the project and the com ing tuberculosis congress at Wash ington, D. C., which Dr. Minor will at tend as one of the delegates from Ar kansas, Dr. Minor has the following to say:
 "In accepting the commission to rep resent the state of Arkansas at the International Congress on Tuberculo- sis in Washington now assembled l desire to say that the subjects to be considered there are necessarily so wide in scope, both scientifically and practical, that I will be unable to take interest in any but the practical pa pers believing that such attention can be better transmitted to the people of our state and give more satisfactory returns in the way of preventing dis ease. l presume the other delegates will look after the scientific end of 1 it.
 ITO assist in the practical part of the great work. am going to ask the press to advise all state and munich pal officials to become interested in State Sanitation Society, the society to be composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state. togeth- CT with property holders, doctors, lawyers and business men. The or ganization should meet in general con- yention once a year. and discuss the points of interest presented by local or municipal boards.
 "The state organization should be encouraged by the legislature. All practical work done by the organi- ] ration will be appreciated by the in-

Bad Negro in the Tolls.

John Hayden, alias John Johnson. who is reputed to be dangerous crim- inal, was fined s100 and sentenced to one minute in jail in the Saline Coun. ty Circuit Court Tuesday after being convicted of assault with intent to kill another negro. Present at the time he was sentenced were officers from Lin. coin county, where Hayden is wanted on charges of felony and arson and also to finish a jail sentence, and Jef- ferson county, where he is wanted on two other indictments As soon as his present sentence expires Hayden will be rearrested on the other charges.
 Hayden shot twice at Deputy Sher- if P A. Byrd of Saline county and several other white men and couple of negroes about two months ago when they attempted to capture him on the bank of a creek. The party caught him unawares, but he sudden ly jerked a gun from a pocket and drove the party waist deep into the creek, from which place they success fully lodged two shot from Hayden's s gun.
 He was fined $1 ,000 in Lincoln coun. ty some time ago, but escaped from jail before completing his sentence. When he escaped he is alleged to have torn out nearly all of one end of the jail.

To Extend to Hot sprinos.

Project is now on foot to extend the De Queen and Eastern Railroad, a lumber road owned and operated by the Dierks Lumber Company of De Queen, to Hot Springs. The road is now 31 miles long, and extends from De Queen to the Dierks lumber camp About 45 miles more of trackage would have to be built to extend it on to Hot Springs.
 The road, however, has the repu- tation of being a prosperous one, and 1t is believed that it would pay if extended into Hot Springs.

Gov. Broward, of the state of Flor. ida, is noted as an advocate of state prohibition of the liquor traffic. A Prohibition amendment was narrowly defeated In the state legislature re- gently, being favored by 35 out of the 42 votes necessary for the enactment The vigorous campaign carried on by temperance forces of this state has placed it in the forefront of the states enacting against the drink traffic.

Drink Taxation In Great Britain.

According to recent statement of the chancellor of the exchequer, the average taxation per head in Great Britain for alcoholic drink and licenses is approximately 17s I'd on an esti- mated population of 43.643.o0.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY,
 THANKS TO PE-RU-NA.

Mrs. Frank Stroebe, R. F. D. l, Apple ton, Wis, writes:
 "I began using Peruna few months aro when my health and strength were All gone, and I was nothing but nervous wreck, could not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt no desire to live.
 "Three bottles of Peruna made me look at life in different light, as l be- gan to regain my lost strength. While my recovery took nearly four months, at the end of that time I was better than 1 ever had been before. I had splen- did color and never weighed more in my life.
 "I certainly think Peruna is without 8 rival as ionic and strength builder, and it has my endorsement"
 This lady entirely recovered from nervous breakdown. She did not go away to sanitarium, and spend hun- dreds of dollars for a cure. She just staid at home, took Peruna, and in four months weighed more than ever in her life, had splendid color, life looked bright to her. Peruna did all this for her. What more could be expected of any remedy7

RABBI FREUND's TALK.

In his address last night, In the jew
ish temple on why Remain u Jew?'
Rabbi Freund said:
THE fact that the Jews are Gods
favored people Is not the secret OF their
success. 1t is because of their own
individuality. The Jew as a Jew should
exist only as rellsionist and not iG
any separate state or in a nation by
himself. In history we find that ma
tons existing under Jewish rules and
laws did not have the best of govern
ments The Jew should associate him
self with the people of the nations, to
extend the goodness OF his race and
take in the good of the other nations
and people in return. The Jew is
praised for his sobrlety, his home life
is free from tho domestic troubles found
among the other people, and his home
is always one of happiness"
