 He offered substitute resolution providing for the appointment of an additional page by the speaker and for the election of an additional as- sistant journal clerk.
 Dunaway Proposes Committee.
 Mr. Dunaway of Pulaski suggested that a committee of three be appoint ed to ascertain just what additional help is needed. and moved the ap- pointment of such committee to whom both the resolution and the substitute resolution should be re- ferred.

 Mir. Simpson of Scott objected to in- creasing the cost of journal work.
 Mir. Heartsill of Sebastian suggest cd the selection of an expert type writer to put the journal in shape as the house proceeds.
 Mir. McCracken of Conway thought no additional expense should be in- cured.
 Mir. Kendall, objected to referring the matter to committee.
 Matter Goes to Committee. ...

Starvation seems strange remedy for any dis- ease. Yet, starvation by rigorous diet, was once generally resorted to- in of ind gestion or other stomach trouble. Even yet it is sometimes tried.
 Such a remedy is worse than useless. Every day of life consumes portion of the tissue of the human body. The food we eat serves to repalr this waste, and you can't build up the system ny withholding material for the purpose.
 If the stomach is in such condition, that it can not furnish it, the task must be performed without the stomacls assistance. Kodol is the only pre-" paration which accomplishes this. There are others which act on certain kinds Of food. hut Kodol is the only one. which digests thcm all. as the stomach dgests them.
 Man is so constituted that he needs ! ratiesg of food; to reduce the variety. always produces nad results.
 In ninety mine cases in hundred, indigestion is duo to lack of some of the clements which con stitu.e the natural digestive juices usually to the absence of hydrochlorc acd for the stomach.
 It is by the action of these julces that food is reduced to form in which it can be transformed into living tissue. With any of them lacking, 1t Is easy to see, that the process of digestion cannot be perfectly performed.
 With the single exception of Kodol, all prepars. these clements. Consequently, they cannot digest all classes of food
 Kodol contains them all. It will digest any thing that the healthy stomach can digest. It is Natures own cure.

..:4 SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR II. KINa WHITE MONUMENT FUND.
GIVE THEM BETTER PAY.

One of the few really necessary measures presented at the present ses. sion of the Arkansas general assem. Uly is the bill recently introduced by Senator H. K. Toney. of this city. ir which he asks the legislative body to increase the salaries of all the chancellors and circuit judges throughout the state to the constitu. Ncnal limit of $3,000 per annum. This Mll should pass both branches of the Legislature without an expression oi opposition. There are probably nc other office holders in this state who are as poorly paid for their important services as the chancellors and cir cult judges, and certainly there arc none whose duties are more difficult and important to perform.
 At the last session of the Arkansas legislature the salaries of the su- Dreme judges of the state were in- creased to the constitutional limit of "A 1000 per annum, and the governors salary was raised from $3,000 to @4,000. These increases were not suf- fcient, considering the magnitude of the work that is annually disposed of by them, but the legislators found 1t impossible to exceed that figure.
 Chancellor John M. Elliot, of this district, now receives only $2,500 per year, while Judge A. B. Grace. of the eleventh judicial district, is paid but 5000. Out of these sums the jurists are required to pay all their travelling and other expenses, which amount an mually to about $500 in each case. Judge Elliott has six counties under his Jurisdiction and Is required to hold eight sessions of the chancery court in his district twice year Judge Grace has three counties in his circuit and the frequency of court in them resuires large expenditure of money on his part.
 In q recent magazine article, writ ten by President-elect William H. Taft, Arkansas was reported to be at the bottom of the list in point of salaries paid judicial officers. He expressed himself as being in favor of large sal aries for judges of all courts and es- pecially those in the smaller judicial districts.
 In presenting his measure Senator Toney is only asking the legislators to do what the const tuition provides for and it would be step in the right direction for the general assembly of Arkansas to put itself on record as favoring good salaries for the pres ent underpaid jurists of Arkansas.

LEADING PENS's CHEERS.
OrgsRiled Enthusiasm Has Existed at the
University for EIfteen Year.

Most persons have the idea that the
cheer lender. with his corps of assistants. is
comrarativelya new thing in college sporte.
but il appears from what an old Pennsyl-
vanian has to say that the habit Of having
leader for set cheering dates back fifteen
years. That is probably the oldest es-
tablished college system. f.r.
Long before that cheering used 10 be
matter of class rivalry, and in 1888 an
editorial in the Pennsylrdnion says
sneeringly: 1T was noticed that at least
one of the classes who yelled so loud and,
long Monday morning after our great
victory over Wesleyan had not man on

cheers from 1902 until 1905, and il is N
certainty that his gyrations and contorGA
tlons stirred up great enthusiasm.
