 J. H. Clark, Tailor, Jansen Ave-, Mena, Ark, says: "When I say Deans Kidney Pills are un equalled for removing backache, ridding one of a tired, languid feeling and toning up the kidneys and general system, I speak from personal experience. For about two years my kidneys did not act properly and 1 had about every system of kidney disease. I tired first one remedy, then another, but received little if any benefit until I began using Deans Kid. ney Pills, procured at the Palace Drug Go. 'They soon strengthened my back and kidneys and restored me to good health.'

Raise 'Frys" for Thanksgiving and
 Christmas.

If our poultry raisers only realized it. now is the time to raise young chickens for the fall and early winter market. The feed question is easier solved, as it is cheapest at this time of year. and with our late seasons il is an easy matter to mature chicks tC 1 l-2 to 2 1-2 pounds by holidays, when prices are high.
 Farmers and others are selling fowls at 15 to 20 cents now and could easily get 25 to 30 cents holiday time, and can raise fall chicks cheaper than in the spring.
 Set all your "broody' hens in Sep tember and watch the returns ir December as compared with present sales. Now is a good time to raise laying stock as well.
 Yours for poultry results in Mens and Polk county,

 Fortunately the movement of these leads was simply open and shut. and 1t took considerable water motion to fault the trail seriously.
 While the captain, Marvin, and as found later, Borup. had been delayed by open leads we seemed to bear charm and with no single lead were we delayed more than a couple of hours.

NO CUSTER FOR
 WATERS-PIERCE
Fine of S45,000 Was the Largest Paid Under Antitrust Statute NOrwood Would Not Drive

Little Rock, Sept. II. There will be no further proceedings against the Waters-Pierce Oil Company under the antitrust law so long as the company does not violate the law.
 This was the announcement made today by Attorney General Norwood. It means that there will be no custer proceedings, which is made discretionary with the court under the antitrust statute.
 In fact, Attorney General Nor wood is of the opinion that it is advisable only in the rarest lu- stances, where the offense Is ex- tremely aggravated in character, to apply the penalty of custer. He would permit tho corpora 'ior 10 remain in the state, but force il 10 obey the law. Otherwise, mon. opoly might be created, when 1t is the purpose of the law to prevent that very end.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL
IS FAVORED
MAJORITY OF COLLEGES VOTE TO
RETAIN PRESENT GAME
WITH SOME CHANGES.

New York. Dec. 27.-Fifty colleges
out of approximately IS in the Inter-
collegiate Athletic association. have
voted for the retention of American
football games with the elimination of
mass plays and other dangerous plays.
This was made known today by the
executive committee of the association
on the eve of a meeting to be held
tomorrow.
Five institutions voted that the pres
ent game is satisfactory except in
minor details; II favored the English
game of Rugby: seven took a midway
position between the American game
and Rugby and nine voted that either
the American game should be radically
changed or Rugby substituted. The
executive committee, il was announced.
favored the changes proposed by the
athletic committee of West Point and
will SO report tomorrow. The West
Point committee has prepared resolu-
ton declaring that football has devei-
oped dangers that are recognized to
be intolerable and that it has become
necessary to eradicate undue rough
ness.
Among the abuses of the game the
West Point committee names: An ex-
eessiye desire TO win at any cost,
which develops tendency to semi
professional games: the practice of en-
ploying professional coaches not iden-
titled with the college. and a depend
ence on preponderant weight and
strength instead of mental acuteness
and individual skill. 1t is a further
contention that indiscriminate playing
of obviously overmatched contests
should be prohibited. and to this end
the forward pass Is condemned as ex-
tremely dangerous because of the un-
protected position of the player re-
eeiying the pass. Dragging and pulling
of fallen player is condemned and
penalties are provided for players pill
ing upon man who has fallen with a
ball.
