NOT DRUGS
Food Did 1t.

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic and apparently incurable con-
stipation yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in few days.
From early childhood 1 suffered
with such terrible constipation that l
had to use laxatives continuously 60
ing from one drug to another and suf-
fering more or less all the time.
"a prominent physician whom con-
suited told me the muscles of the d.
gestive organs were partially par
alyzed and could not perform their
work without help of some kind, so I
have tried at different times about
every laxative and cathartic known,
but found no help that was at all per-
manent. had finally become discour-
aged and had given my case up as
hopeless when I began to use the pre-
digested food, Grape-Nuts.
Although l had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested imme-
diately from the first and in a few
days I was convinced that this was
Just what my system needed.

While Tornado Insurance is Only $6ooo- Legislature to Exempt Brinkley
 From Taxation.

The finance committee of the Brinkley relief association, says this mornings Gazette, headed by Congressman Joe T. Robinson of Lonoke, was in Little Rock last night, and while here prepar- ed an appeal for relief for the suf- ferers at Brinkley, which was sent broadcast over the entire country from the Gazette office over tie wires of the Associated Press.

 Today Senator Rasco will intro duce a bill in the senate providing that the property owners and clti- zens of Brinkley be exempted from taxation for the next year. This will be introduced at the instiga- tion of the committee. The bill appropriates SIo, 900 for the relief of the sufferers, which has already passed the senate, and which was read twice in the house yesterday, will be taken up this morning, as it was made a special order of business for this morning, and, be yond a doubt, will be passed.

Francis county was the only mem Der of the house who argued with them in the effort to pass the bill. There were plenty of speakers against it, however, and they were relentless in their attack upon the bill. They denied the measure was entirely local one, saying it affects the morals of the state more than the finances of Hot Springs.
 After the vote had been announc- ed, Mir Bouic invited the members of the house to go to Hot Springs Saturday and meet with the mem- bers of the house to go to Hot Springs Saturday and meet with the members of the business men's organization in order that they might see for themselves the con- ditions in the city of vapors.
 The business men of Hot Springs and the friends of the measure stated yesterday through their representatives, that there would be another bill brought up ill the senate within few days which would be patterned along the lines of thes sdead bill.

TO RESTORE PAY CAR SYSTEM
Bill Introduced in Senate to Re-
 peal Semi Monthly Pay Law.
Hot Springs Racing Commission Bill Over whelmingly Defeated in the Low
 CT House.

Little Rock, March I2.-Special. Should the general assembly pass the Rasco bill, introduced yesterday afternoon, repeating the semi monthly pay day, the rail- roads would be forced to put back on the old style pay car, as the bill requires employees of corporations to be paid not later than the 18th of the month, and in cash. For violations the employe can collect 10 per cent additional and attor- neys' fees. The bill was read twice and Senator Wingo offered an amendment striking out the payment of the last months wages on the 18th of the month, so the corporations could not hold back six weeks of the employees pay, with two weeks always unpaid. It was proposed that the bill be amended so the corporations would have to pay right up to the day. The senate adjourned while dis cussion on the bill was rife.
 The bill by Senator Henderson requiring road overseers to keep ditches and drains opens was pass ed. The Watson bill requiring an annual tax of s on all automo- piles, and regulating their use in Arkansas. was read twice and re ferred to the judiciary committee. Senator White introduced bill increasing the salary of assistant attorney general to S2, POO per an- mum, and stenographer for the at torney general to SI, 200. House Bill No. r, a general county de- pository bill, was called up and Clay county exempted from its provisions. An effort to exempt Conway county failed.
 Racing Bill Defeated.
 After one of the most able bat ties ever put up in the house, Rep resentative Bouic and Wilmington ot Garland county were yesterday afternoon forced to accept defeat upon their bill for the creation of a racing commission for Hot Springs which would allow 40 days racing there each year. The bill was re- iected on the final vote by 62 to II, though at one time the roll call showed 5S voting against and 27 for the bill, this being changed by many rising and asking that their vote for, be registered against, after it was seen the bill was lost. The representatives from Garland county had little aid on the floor, submitting their proposition on the grounds that it was local question and upon 1t alone rested the financial future of Hot Springs. Both speakers contended that 1t was upon this one proposition they were sent to the general assembly and into the discussion they threw their strong personalities in an et- fort to make the house see the matter as they did.

 The Committees Appeal.
 The appeal issued follows:
 March II, 1909. "To the General Public;
 "The town of Brinkley, Ark, was totally destroyed by tornado on March s. The undersigned, none of whom reside in Brinkley, have viewed the desolation and ruin which were occasioned there. No language can adequately de- scribe the condition that now pre- vails. Every building in the city has been either totally or partially destroyed. Thirty two bodies have been recovered and it is thought that many more will be found among the ruins still unexplored. More than POO injured have been treated at the emergency hospital, and scores elsewhere. Practical ly all furniture clothing and food supplies were destroyed. The suf- fering from hunger and exposure is indescribable. All chimneys and hues have been demolished and it is impossible to either shelter or provide necessaries for the ,ooo inhabitants of Brinkley who have been made homeless with out the immediate repair and con- struction of buildings suitably equipped. To do this a great quantity of wreckage must be speedily removed, many laborers employed and vast quantity of building material, hardware, etc. 1, is required. It is manifest that a liberal sum of money Is needed to meet these urgent demands. The property loss will exceed SI, ,ooo, : 900, and with the exception of Sc, GOO tornado insurance, the loss is total. Those citizens of Brink ley to whom were spared rag ments of their property have with unparalled generosity shared the same with their more unfortunate neighbors. The undersigned, as members of the Finance Commit tee of the Brinkley Relief Associa- tion, having personal knowledge oi the facts herein set forth, and nc interest other than that inspired by motives of humanity, appeal to the public for liberal contributions. We are confident that this appeal will be cheerfully responded to. All contributions should be sent to T. H Jackson, mayor of Brink ley. Ark.
