POTATO MAKES PROUD BOAST.
Humble Vegetable Used for Many Oth- CT Purposes Than Recog-
 nized Dinner Essential.

Whenever you lick postage stamp you parta,-e of me, since all lickable gums are made from dextrine, one of my products.
 Your neck caresses me all day-for the starch that stiffens your collar is made from the potato.
 The bone buttons on your under wear are probably vegetable ivory compressed potato pulp.
 My leaves, dried, make a good smoke. You have often smoked them "unbeknownst," mixed with your fa- yorite brand.
 Potato spirit is very pure alcohol. It is used to fortify white wines. Many a headache is not so much due to the grape as the potato.
 I yield a sweet syrup. In this form I am often present in cheap cocoa, honey, butter and lard.
 Let the corpulent try as they will, they cannot escape yours truly,

4 Grateful Customer.

I suffered for four years with eczema on the ends of eight of my fingers. Had it so long my fingers drew up and could do nothing at all at times, and I tried almost everything that I ever heard of, including several largely ad- vertised ointments, spending many dol lars for them. Never a thing did it any good at all. At last I saw in a home paper Hunts Cure was being ad- vertised and tried only a part of one box, which cost me only soc, and it cured them. Now I can wash or do anything which before I could not without my fingers bleeding, burning and paining me very much. If this ever comes back I surely will know just what to get. wish every friend and stranger that had anything of the kind could have seen my fingers before used this and see them now. It is the best Ointment on earth. That 5Oc box was worth a hundred dollars to me. You deserve all thanks that can be given you for that wonderful salve, Hunts Cure"

"COFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME"
Tales That Are Told.

T was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me-" says N. '. woman. You just couldn't convince me it's use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble suffered from most of the time
 My trouble finally got so bad had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years Still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do such damage.
 What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form as my stG mach could digest
 T had read much about Postum, but never thought it would fit my case until one day I decided to quit coffee and give it trial and make sure about it. Sc l got a package and carefully followed the directions.
 Soon I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the aid of pepsin or other di- gestants and it was not long before was really new woman physically.
 Now I am healthy and sound, can eat anything asd everything that comes along and I know this wonder ful change is all due to my having quit coffee and got the nourishment I needed through this delicious Postum.
 My wonder is why everyone don't give up the old coffee and the troubles that go with it and build themselves up as I have done, with Postum.'
 Easy to prove by 10 days trial of Postun in place of coffee. The reward Is big.

DISTURBANCE OVER
 NEW STATE CAPITOL
SENATORS DO NOT AGREE WELL ON SEVERAL BILLS ON THIS
 SUBJECT.
BLIND SCHOOL BILL PASSED
House-confederat Soldiers Home Appropriation Approved.

The Senate Monday, as one of the first orders of business, accepted the resignation Of Mrs. Anna Mitchell of Pine Bluff as expressing clerk Mrs. Mitchell was forced to resign on ac- count of her health, and as a mark of esteem the Senate adopted a reso- 1ution making her the assistant en- crossing clerk until the end of the session. with the same pay as the expressing clerk. Miss Lucy Thatch was appointed expressing clerk and sworn into office by President Mar tin.
 The clerks of the capitol, levee and drainage, penitentiary. election and railroad committees came near los ing their positions. 4 resolution was introduced by Senator Johnson abol- ishing the clerkships, but on motion of Senator Logan the resolution was tabled by a vote of II to F.
 The Senate passed several bills that had been made a special order after the morning hour. The feature was the passage of Senator DeRos- its bill to authorize the St. Francis Leyee District to issue $750,000 in bonds. The bill passed unanimously, and all of the senators in the district approved the bill It was the first time that the St. Francis district sen ators had agreed as unit on any question affecting the district.
 Another capitol bill was introduced hxy I ic hcf Q bill for the Oldham capitol measure.
 The bill is a copy of the one intro duced in the Senate several weeks ago by Senators Logan and Dill. It provides s350, ,000 for the completion of the capitol and s25.000 for incident al expenses, including the salary of the commissioners It does not pro vide for the continuance of the 1-2 mill capitol tax. The bill was offered as substitute to motion made by Senator White to report the Oldham bill favorably to the Senate.
 Senators Pindall, White and Patter- son spoke against the adoption of the bill offered by Senator Logan, and then a discussion followed between Senators Oldham and Logan.
 During the afternoons session the bill for the blind school was adopted in committee of the whole with mi nor amendments. Amounts were not tempered with. Some questions were asked concerning special items, but these were explained by Senator Fletcher so that amendments were not insisted on.
 The chief amendment adopted pro- vides that the board of trustees of the state charitable institutions shall have full control in selecting the su- perintendent and the teachers.
 As the bill was drawn the superin- tendent had the right to vote on his own appointment and had full charge of the selection of the teachers. The bill as amended was referred to the engrossed bills committed
 The Senate passed the appropria- tion bill for the maintenance of the State University without any further amendments than had previously been made.
