EASTERN ARKANSAS is AIRED
Pottenness in Poinsett County
Primary Election.
Charged on Floor of House by Represen
tatives Carl Lee and
Little.

Little Rock. April 2S.-Special.
In the house yesterday, the St.
Francis levee bill, authorizing the
issuance of S325, 900 in bonds, was
the bone of contention and it was
picked on so furiously it appeared
for a while as though not even the
i bone was to be left. The debate
was on the amendment of Little of
Mississippi to make the directors
of the district eelective instead OF
appointive. Mr.. Little spoke the
early part of the afternoon defense
othis amendment, stating that he
knew it was always the man with
the biggest political influence in a
county who secured appointments
on the board, and he also knew of
times when the board had stuffed
The ballot boxes in favor of certain
state officials. He told of much
practice of this kind in Poinsett
county and brought out chal-
lenge from Mr.. Going as to who
gave the information. Mr.. Little
refused to tell and then Mr.. Going
branded the statements as absolute
falsehoods.
At this juncture Mr.. Carl Lee of
Woodruff jumped up and said that
he would not stand for the abusive
language cast at his friend from
Mississippi and as the gentlemen
from Poinsett desired to know
where Mr.. Little secured his in
formation, he would enlighten
him upon the subject and stated
that he told him all about what
had taken place in Poinsett county
and members of the board had told
him. With the permission of the
house, Mr.. Carl Lee was permitted
to continue. He stated he had
heard the board was favorable to a
candidate for attorney general in
the last primaries, and had learned
it had added 500 votes to the num-
Der he received in Poinsett county.
He went to Marked Tree and saw
w. lB. Miller, the president of the
board, and informed him the bogus
votes must be cut out, which the
president # the board agreed to
do, but failed to keep his word.
Mr.. Little closed his remarks
and the amendment lost by one
vote.
During the day, the entire time
being spent on one bill, representa-
tives from all sections of the state
spoke on the bill, most of them ia
voring the amendment. The ar
gument in favor of the bill was that
the amendment would defeat it,
for the senate would not concur.

some PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
G. 0. Dalton Writes on Agrlcul- l.
tural Topics.
"Deep Preparation and Thorough and
Shallow Cultivation Our Saliva
tiOn," He Says.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
At present in our section there
is some interest in the agricultural
demonstration work which the
government is doing. Some favor
the plan very much, while others
oppose it as strongly. AS to my
part, there is nothing new in it to
me so far. I have been keeping
close up with the department for
several years, and find by expert
ence that deep preparation and a
thorough and shallow cultivation
is our only agricultural salvation,
There is a host who seem to
think they can make commercial
fertilizer take the place of thor
ough preparation, and as it can be
had on time and is easily applied
they are going after it. Now, |
want to say right here that COM
me~cial fertilizer is good in its
place, but our old uplands that
have been run in hoed crops year
after year until the humous matter
is worked out of them must have
something more than commercial
fertilizer to make them do their
best. We get the best grade Of
humous from stable and barnyard
manure, but at present the farmers
are SO poorly supplied with live
stock that this would be a slow
process.
l do not advise the dropping off
of cotton altogether, but l do think
that a diversifcation of crops is
essential. Where corn rows are
laid off 81 feet, then in early Nay
plant row of peas between each
row of corn, giving the peas
liberal amount of phosphorus and
potash. Cultivate them we'll through
the season and the peas will hustle
for the nitrogen. AS soon as the
corn can be taken off turn the hogs
in to gather the peas. | find in
this way if the corn can be cultivat
ed level raked and shallow the crop
is likely to be fair and the peas
will fatten the hogs at cost that
will hardly be felt.
In early fall as soon as the peas
are consumed turn the land about
one inch deeper than it was the
previous year, following the turn
ing with subsoil, then sow the
land in wheat or rye as catch
crop, putting from I z to bushels
to the acre, narrowing the grain in
we'll. This may be pastured during
the winter when the ground is
frozen or dry, bnt for the lands
sake don't pasture any while it is
wet. During the winter put all
the stable and barnyard manure
on this that you can get, pulveriz-
ing it fine and spreading it evenly
on the land.
Three weeks before cotton plant
ing time turn this land we'll and
roll it down solid. Just before you
plant disk it thoroughly both ways
and with liberal use of fertilizer and
shallow and frequent cultivation,
the chances are the crop will be
satisfactory. Now as the row is
nearly four feet apart, late in Sep
tember 1 would SOW wheat or rye
right after picking, blowing in
with a single cultivator harrow
pulled by single team. This will
serve as catch" crop to keep the
land from washing and hold the
fertility that was released and not
taken up by the plant

that his neglect in carrying out that
which he knows will conduce to his own
and others health is a menace to his
neighbor.
This ignorance which he has failed to
diSpel may cost him his life and the lives
of those whom he holds dear The study
of preventive medicine should be taken
up seriously by all families.
Home Sanitation
The future welfare of the family de-
ponds upon the home which has been
selected for It. The house should be
situated in such a position that light,
drainage and air should be of the best
The soil upon which the house is built
its ventilation, its plumbing, its cellar
and the location Of its rooms all come
in for an enlightened consideration.
Then, too, the best ways of furnish
ing the rooms that they shall be healthy
to live in comes in for its share of in
telligent decision, as well as what to
use and what to avoid in decoration
The sleeping arrangements should be
seen to with care, as the rooms IN which
so much time IS spent should be those
which are best adapted to promote the
comfort and health of those occupying
them. These are only a few points
which need to be determined about the
house and its surroundings.
Sane Diet
The housekeeper and home-maker is
called upon to decide the diet Of the
family. It happens often that the
healthy nature OF the menu is the last
thing which the purveyor of the family
considers The tastes of the children
and other members of the family are
the governing principles upon which the
marketing and the cooking are TO be
decided.
These should indeed be consulted, for
what appeals to the appetite is, other
things being equal, better digested, but
how few housekeepers, in making up the
bills of fare, stop to consider whether
the proportions of starches and sugars

Personal Care
How few are the individuals who
make an attempt to live hygIenically-
Each ones responsibilities are two-fold
those which relate to himself and
those which relate to the community.
He should keep himself we'll by diet,
clothing, exercise and the avoidance of
exposure and excess IN every direction.
IF he is a victim of disease, he should
take care that he does not communicate
this disease to others.
The COnsumptive who expcctorates IN
public places, or CareIess1y in his own
home, is guilty of putting others in peril,
because the germ of the disease is in
that saliva. The man who has con-
tagious fever in his family and goes
forth to meet others without taking pre-
cautions which viii prevent him from
carrying the germs with him, is guilty
Of imperiIling the life of his neighbor.

grow them in time Careless faults soon
become fixed habits which are difficult
to eradicate. because they are followed
almost mechanically, and in later life
these habits may stamp the posscssor as
unTefined and may prove a very serious
bar to social success.
Manners, refinement, rules of good
breeding are much discussed in these
days, and we judge people severely by
the breach of Evolutionary laws, and
choose our society and even our friends
by the tombstone of courtesy.
Parents and instructors are not the
only teachers. They begin the work
which we must make perfect ourselves.
The rules which apply to the training of
children apply equally to their elders.
The Basic Law Of Good Manners
The first rule in social customs is to
do nothing that may be disagreeable TO
others; therefore, at the table, a we'll
bred person is careful to avoid fdgeting
about IN his chair, or crunbling his
bread, or playing with the silver or other
articles; he is careful TO eat slowly and
with his mouth closed, and not to talk
with food in his mouth. nor does he
make any sounds when eating or drink
ing.
he GOES not draw MS Chair up SO
close TO the table that he IS compelled
to lean back IN it to keep any sort OF
position, nor does he lean his elbows on
the table, nor does he talk loud and
mOnopolize the conversation. Above
all, he does not talk on disagreeable
subjects, nor tell of unpleasant, grue-
some incidents or shocking accidents
Good manners require that one should
be punctual at meals, and that one
should not read at the table In these
DAYS of haste this may seem an arbi-
trary rule at the breakfast hour, when
one is tempted to glance at the news OF
the day, but true courtesy can never
mean hurry or self-absorbed indifference
to others

at the table and partake of them. With

lines, the housekeeper who neglects these
facts is well ugh criminal
The amount--pf nourishnent that

more supervision than ever before. and

foodstuffs, but on the houseIoeeper de-

Grafton of the problem. Many individ-
uals are suffering from dyspepsia and

BEEFsTEAK HASH

Cut the lean portions of leftover steak
into small pieces, discarding all bone and
gristle and most of the fat. Pare and
slice thin raw potatoes in the proper
ton of half meat and half potatoes chop
small onion fine; put the whole over
the fire IN enough cold water to allow
for several hours cooking without re-
plenishing, which detracts from the rich
ness of the hash. Bring slowly to the
boiling point, then simmer until the po-
tatoes thicken the gravy. Season to taste
with salt, pepper and butter. This hash
may be cooked the day before, then re-
heated for breakfast.
HASH IN PEPPER SHELLS
Chop cold roast veal or fowl fine
cover with cold water and cook slowly
until very tender. Then season to taste
with salt; add dash of cayenne and
generous lump of butter. Remove from
the fire and add sufficient bread-crumbs
to give body" TO the hash. Have at
hand the required number of pepper

Insurance Against

communicable sickness should not be al
lowed TO spread from one family to an
other or to members of the same family.
Distinction has been carried on SyS-
tematically, and vaccination has reduced
smallpox from a scourge to only COM
paratively few cases. The air of cities
and towns Is prevented from becoming
impure because of noxious fumes and
smothering smoke from factories. I'm
proved ventilation of public buildings
has been instituted, the water supplies
have been protected, the disposal of
sewage has been safeguarded.
The construction of schools and the
care of children attending them has been
supervised. It is true that all these
methods of sanitation, and even the car
rying them into effect, leave much to be
desired. Nevertheless, all these ways of
preventing disease and improving the
health of communities have reduced the
death rate incredibly. Fifty years ago
it was said that the deaths IN Great
Britain which by care could have been
prevented averaged more than a third
of these that occurred, and the proper
ton of those who did not die because Of
their illness, but suffered more or less
during their lives, was equally great.
Individual Responsibility
What has been done to preserve life
and health BY Nation and State can be
exceeded If each individual feels his
responsibility in bringing his own health
to as great a state OF perfection as pos
sible. and in surrounding those who are
in the family with the best conditions.
The health of the community will be
greatly bettered when each one realizes
the great importance of this duty, and

amines magazines, or brings a book TO
the table and proceeds to read, with
entire disregard of the presence OF
others, is encouraging rude selhshness
and setting very bad example to chill
dren.
heal-tims Conversation
Another serious fault is to reserve
mealtime for the discussion of disagree
able family or business matters which
may require settlement, but should be
discussed elsewhere, otherwise the
peace and Contentment of the meal is
destroyed, for good digestion waits truly
on peace and cheerful talk as well as on
appetite, and health depends on both.
Using the Napkin
And now to turn to practical sugges-
tons. The correct use of the napkin IS
to unfold it partly and lay it across the
knees; to leave it unfolded on rising
from the table, at any formal meal At
home one may fold ones napkin, but
the use of napkin ring IS not now gen
eTaL When visiting one may fold the
napkin, if the hostess does so.
One speaks of eating" soup, not
drinking it. Soup is taken from the side
of the spoon, and sticklers on etiquette
claim that when taking up the soup IN
the spoon, the spoon should have
movement away from one, not toward
one. It is bad form to try to take
up the last drop of soup IN the soup
plate or to tilt the plate
Disposing Of the Fork and Knife
When one has finished, the fork and
knife are placed close together IN the
middle of the plate. Never must fork
or knife rest on the side OF the plate OF
with the handle on the table or tossed
together IN a sloyenly fashion on the
plate at the conclusion of a maeL
When a plate is passed for second
serving, the rule IS to leave the knife

MAJ Medicine" is of comparatively
NV modern origin. In the If
teenth and sixteenth cen
turtles measures were taken, notably
BY Venice, to prevent the intro
6uction of the plague from the East
by making the vessels wait forty days
before discharging their cargo, animate
and inanimate; hence the origin OF quar-
antine.
But it is little more than half a cen
fury since quarantine was established
on any thing like scientific basis, and
quarantine is the national way to pre-
vent the introduction OF disease into the
country. The number of lives saved
and the amount of sickness which IS
thus prevented is incalcUlable. Epl-
denies of cholera have been kept IN
abeyance. attacks of dread fevers have
been STAYED, fatal loathsome plaques,
bred In the pestilent hotbeds of disease
in the East, have been barred
To learn what an enlightened quar-
antine has done for the peoples OF
Europe and America, 1t IS only neces-
sary to turn back the pages of history
and read of the depopulatiOn which these
epidenics occasioned in ce-2'uries gone by.
Measures Of Prevention
The measures of prevention have also
been inaugurated by-States, by cities,
towns and villages. Health boards have
been established and records of births
and deaths have been kept by them.
Diseases have been held in check by the
necessity Of reporting all cases of a con
taglous nature, IN order that measures
could be taken TO isolate and circum-
scribe them, and the carelessness OF
individuals has been curbed, so that
