play, is Of the utmost and all-absorb-

dyce,' as may be seen by perusing
this advertisement, has reference to
The Home Fire Insurance Company,
and The Home Accident Insurance
Company. Both are otficered and
manned by prominent men of Arkan-
sas who stand at the top OF the ladder

needs more of such staunch home en-
prises, and the people need TO learn
the lesson of patronizing home enter
prise. Millions OF dollars annually
are sent from the south for insurance,
and poured into the Golfers OF Eastern
capitalists, So that the country is
practically at their mercy. The

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease in the Body, and ar
Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care Of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
slowly and with discomfort; when you
nave heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in condition that needs atten-
ton.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is nearly always pres
eut when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prick1y Ash Bitters con-
tains the medicinal qualities which act
as a restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. 1t strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re-
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
~ suffered from constipation for years, and
tried many remedies but Priekly Ash Bitters Is
the only medicine that has ever done me any
good. Through its use am now in good health
aud entirely free from all traces of my former
trouble. B. p. srIeALL, winusboro, Louisiana.

German Invention Probably the Best

In Germany they have devised two
solutions, which, mingling as they are
poured, instantly raise a thick tene-
cfous foam. One solution is composed
of potash, alum and sodium sulphate

NOT AN ECONOMICAL CUSTOM.

times when We may make more by
throwing something of value away
than we would make by keeping it
and bringing II into use. You take for
instance postage stamps stuck on let
ters that you don't mail. | used al
ways laboriously to soak off such
stamps, taking much lime for the
operation, and then use such stamps
again, but now | find that | can make
money throwing these stamps away.
Working eight hours | am able to
earn about five dollars a day, or a
shade over a cent minute. For pur
poses OF figuring we will call it an
even cent. Now:
TO soak off from the envelope the
uncancelled stamp of letter not sent
used to take me about FIVE minutes;
and then such a stamp had to be spe-
clally smeared with mucilage before
1t could be stuck again | figured that
TO bring such a stamp into use cost
me altogether about six minutes time.
BY this expenditure of time and labor
i did recover stamp of the value of
two cents; and yet, as in that time
could have earned six cents, on the
whole operation sustained an actual
loss OF four cents.
So now when have a stamp on

wastebasket and keep on with my
work.

MR.. LEWIS HAS OPENED HEAD
QUARTERS AT t06 EIGHTH
STREET.

Biz Arches Will 81
Erected.

Harry w. Lewis who has the con
tract for placing the decorations for
Taft day, arrived in the city yesterday
and has opened headquarters at l06
Eighth street He has placed some
decorations on his headquarters which
will give some idea OF the artistic
work he does in this line
When seen by n Bulletin reporter,
Mr.. Lewis stated that the plan OF dee-
grafton was to place twenty.seven sets
between the poles on the wall side OF
the street, each set consisting of
five large American flags and two
twelve foot streamers. Two large
arches are also to be a part of the
Taft Day decorations. one to be butt
at Sixth and Ohio streets These
arches are twenty-five foot span, the
total width being thirty-dye feet and
the heighth of each is to be twenty
five feet. The slogan of the Deep Wa
terways convention, fourteen ieet
through the valley" and Nine feet to
Pittsburg" also enters into the dis
play, these signs being placed on the
levee. The wharfboat and the speak
ers stand are also to be festooned
with flags.
The following is a list of the mer.
chants on Ohio street who have con-
tracted with MIR, Lewis for decora-
tons: Lee Hicks, Blue Front restaur-
ant, Gus Bourgeois, Mcknight-Keaton
Grocery Co, Bloms-Halliday Co,

In order that the decorations may
be uniform, the decorator asks that
the other busienss men on Ohio street
sign contracts with him. Mr. Lewis

streets in Chicago during the Peace
Jubilee and had big contracts at the

Artist Withdrew Complaint Against

Pellegrini was an artist with an ex.
ceedingly liberal Vocabulary, upon
which he would draw freely for the
edifieation OF the Beefsteak club, of
which he was member. There was
one fellow member of the club, says
j. c. Carr In a book called Some Emf
nent Victorians," who was wont to en-
terrain the table with little I'M
promptu sketches, which he executed
with certain degree of facility.
This innocent display of artistic
power offended PelleSrini, who. posi-
bly, moved by measure OF jealousy.

special province, insisted with some
vehemence that club was not the
place for such exercises.

that | entered the room and found the
young friend who had been the sub.
