 Under Five Years Old.

The most alarming condition con. fronting the American people today is our infantile death race. Statistics com piled from reports of the U s. Govern mept and the State Board of Health of our largest populated states, show that about 37 per cent of our deaths are among children under years of age and 30 per cent under years of age. Of this 30 percent two-thirds or 67 per cent die from DiarrhOae and Enteritis. This means that in state like Arkan- sas with an annual death rate of 35, 900, 10. 800 are children under 2 years and 1000 of these d,e every year with Bac- terial Infection of the Stomach and Bowels, ordinarily termed Bowell Trouble, Diarrhoae, Cholera-ln lnfantum, Summer Complaint, Teething Troubles. etc. Statistics also show that no other disease produces half as many deaths among people of all ages as does this one disease of "Bowell Trouble" among children under years.
 Appalling as these figures are, how little concern is generally shown in the preparation of Foods and Remedies in an effort to avoid this greatest of all death dealing monsters.

SETTLING THE CAPITOL MATTER
 UNDER THE LAW.

The people of Arkansas should congratulate themselves that the trouble over the possession of the new capitol. between Caldwell & Drake and Governor Donaghey and the Capitol Commission, is to be settled in the courts and by those orderly processes of the law that are the mark of develo- ped civilizations.
 The commission denies that Chancellor Martineau has juris- diction. But that question will be settled by three justices of the Arkansas Supreme Court and not by force and arms.
 Considering himself chosen by the people to complete the new capitol, giving up his]private af- fairs to devote himself to that matter, sacrificing the income he was accustomed to make from his business as a contractor, whereas the head of the Capitol Commission means endless worry and hard work without a cent of financial reward, Cover nor Donaghey is of course eager and anxious to proceed with the work of building. But he is proceeding along the lines laid down by the constitution and the laws. Ark. Gazette.

OBITUARY.

Amanda E. Honeycutt, daugh- ter of Martin and Rachel A. Hayland was born in Pike county Arkansas, June 16, 1866. and died July 19, 1909. In the happy days of her young girl-hood she gave her heart to God and join- ed the Methodist Episcopal Church South at Old Marvin Church in Hampstead county.
 She was married to T. B. Honeycutt February 10, 1886. She leaves a husband and nine children. She was a true christian, a faithful neighbor. a self-sacrificing mother, and a loving and devoted wife. Every one who knew her. loved her and believed in the genuineness of her piety. No one could be associated with her without be- ing made better and stronger. She has given more to the world than she has taken from it and it is certain that the world has been made better by her having lived in it.
 May the eed-thought which she has sc carefully sown in the minds and hearts of her children germinate and grow to it's intend ed purpose and may the bereav- ed and lonely husband ever look to and trust Him in whom she trusted so freely from childhood till death, and some day there will be a happy reunion where separation will never be.

WALTER WELLMAN'S TRIP.

American Explorer Has Long Tried to

two polar expeditions and came back

Before the rise Of the winter sun to
its height in February, 1893, Wellman
made a dash for the pole. Through
a fall in a crevasse he broke his leg.
He was dragged back or a sled over
the rough ice for 200 miles by the
faithful Norwegians.
For four years Mr.. Wellman has
been making preparations for the un.
d%ertaking to reach the north pole in

with a balloon in 1906, but postponed
his departure on account of the late

an unsuccessful attempt, when he was

The novel and unusual feature of the
transaction Is that the United States
government for the first time in its
history officially backed a syndicate of
private bankers and helped them in a
profitable transaction. Some weeks ago
the American ambassadors at London,
Paris and Berlin were instructed by
the state department to convey to the
governments Of England, France and

Heroic Fight Of Mother Of Olympia's
