Another Madstere Is Discovered.

What has been pronounced by Hot Springs physicians 10 be a genuine maidstone was brought to that city by Boss Golden, a hunter from Perry county It was taken from the stom- ach of a white doe, or female deer. killed On a recent hunting trip The stone is one of very few in this com try. It Is an unusual and inexplain- able growth found in the stomach Of the doe, and then only from those whose color is white, or very light, in stead of the usual brown. The stone is applied 10 the wound inflicted by rabid animal. and is supposed 10 ab- sorb all the poison. though medical science does not give erefence to the belief. There is one stone in New Or leans, another in St Louis and one n New York, each of which is used ire quently in the heated summer months by persons who have been bitten by animals supposed to be suffering from rabies

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
 Purity of Grape'Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows this food to be made strictly of Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into form of Sugar, and there fore much easier to digest.
 Our claim that 1t is a hFood for Brain and Nerve eehtresg= is based upon the fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which We usel con tain Natures brain and building ingredients, viz: Phosphate Of Pot ash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate
 Dr. Geo. N. Carey in his book on "The Biochemie System of Medicine" says:
 When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed
 ''The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
 This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve II.
 Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-duid, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by it's own law of affinity, all things needed to manu- faeture the elixir of life. Therefore. when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerye-fuid has been exhausted from any cause, the phos- phate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency.
 The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated.
 Phosphate of Potash, Is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many. But what shall the harvest be- when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make heaven on earth.
 Let the overworked business man take 1t and go home good tempered Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to sick children or en- tertaining company, take 1t and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominrtes in nerve-fuid, and that deficiency produces we'll defined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle. and . in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables. fruits and grain. To sup ply deficiencies-this is the only law of cure.'
 Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not properly of the drug shop variety but is best prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind. Those who have been helped to better health by the use of Grape-Nuts are legion

Cotton Raised in Benton.

J. w Clack, who resides six miles east of Rogers on White river. gave cotton planting a test last year and as a result the first shipment of Cot ton from Benton county has been made The shipment went to Van Bur en over the Frisco and had to be seat out in the seed, as there are no gins in this county. The quality was pro nounced as high grade by competent judges at Van Buren. MT Clack says if the season had been more favorable he could have produced something like half bale to the acre on his farm last year. Quite a number of farmers living along White river in this coun- ty are becoming interested in cotton growing and later it may become a regular and valuable crop on the low lands there.

Loves Lottery.

One often wonders how St Valen- tines day ever got a start It is said that in England and France the young folk were given to playing a game in which the names of all the girls and boys were written on tiny slips of pa- per, thrown into general receptacle, and then drawn out lottery fashion, care being taken of course that each person draws the name of one of the other sex. The person thus drawn became ones valentine, and the allot. ment decreed by fate was supposed to impose upon the couple a sort of Joy. alty for the coming year.
 All of which sounds very romantic and beautiful, but which in plain fact must have mixed things up fearfully, and 1t is question whether or not fate always selected the right maiden or the right beau.

NEWLIN IN NEW YORK
Hoosier Quaker Stirs the Preachers of Troy
Methodist Conference

SARATOGA, N. Y, April so-(Special correspond
ence 1.-The Troy Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence closed today one of its most notable SEES
sions. The event about which most interest
conferred, if the conversations before and after
any indication, was the annual temperance ad-
dress on Saturday evening by Charles E. New
lin of Indianapolis, on "The Unconstitutionality
of Legalizing Wrong. The Rev. George f.
Stockwell, chairman of the temperance committee
of the conference, said today: Mr. Newlin's
address is conceded by all to have been the best
this conference has had on the temperance
question" This is high compliment when it
is considered in light of the noted lecturers who
have appeared before the conference within re-
cent years Although it was raining torrents
when the audience gathered, and had been rain
ing nearly all day, the large auditorium was
nearly filed and the great audience gave the
closest attention for more than hour.

When he asked eff the chain which binds the
saloonkeeper to his license and that to the law
and that to the law-maker and him to the voter
if that chain is not severed, when the saloon
keeper goes dangling the precpice into the
enternity of the damned for putting the bottle to
his neighbours lips, what will the members of
the Troy Methodist conference be doing at the
other end of the chain?' it created sensation
from which the conference has not yet recovered.
He read from the Methodist Discipline and
reminded the conference that this took each of
them out of any political party that had not yet
declared its "open opposition to the saloon and
that no new question was ever settled with an
organization brought together another issue
and which had divided constituency on the
new issue Although plain, the address was en-
trey free from abuse or partizanship.
