THE CITY BOARD
 TAXES No ACTION Committee Reports That Flo Diseased Meat is Being
 Sold In This City
MAY BE A CONFLICT
County Board is Making Tests on Cattle and Inspecting Dairy
 Products.

The recent order Of the Jefferson County Board of Health, providing an immediate inspection of cattle to as- certain if cows in use in this coun- ty are of tubercular tendencies an, employing two veterinarians to in ject tuberculin and make thorough tests together With the inspection of daifies and dairy products, may bring about clash with the Pine Bluff Board of Health, which met yester- day to discuss the matter.
 At a meeting of the County Board Of Health some weeks ago, after the County Board had acted, d commit tee. composed of Dr. o. c. Hankin- son and City Physician w. H. Blank enship, was named to investigate in- to the conditions in this county This action was taken because of reports, which were said to have been made to the County Board officials rela- tive to the sale of diseased meats in this city and county. The commit tee reported it's findings to the City Board yesterday, stating that no tainted meats had been sold here or was being sold, as far as they could learn and a thorough investigation was made. Conditions, relative to cattle affected with tuberculosis are no worse at this time the, Commit tee stated, than in the past. The Committee declared that there was no occasion for alarm on the part of the public.
 Notwithstanding the findings of the Committee from the City Board several meat dealers at recent meeting of the County Board report ed that diseased meat was being sold in this county and that on one occas- ion one of them had prevented the sale of a diseased COW by an indi- vidual, who had butchered 1t after the butchers of the city had refused to purchase it from him.
 "A question of authority and juris- diction may arise between the COun- ty and City Boards if the former files objections to the campaign be- ing made at present by the County Board in this city and county. There was no intimation of conflict at the meeting of the City Board yesterday, but there is much comment as soa the authority vested in each Board.

RACE IS STILL
 IN THE BALANCE
Felsenthal Still Leads for Railroad Commissioner of the Southern Dis- trict. With Mcknight, Second, and RobisOn Third.- Caldwell
 is Running Fourth.

At midnight last night it was stat ed at the Gazette office in Little Rock that the returns from the various counties over the District in the race for Railroad Commissioner of the Southern District were so incomplete tliat it is impossible to tell who had been nominated, but the indications were that Felsenthal would be vic- torious. The Camden man is still leading, it was stated, with Mcknight second and Robison, third. Dr. J. l.. Caldwell was still in fourth place. It is believed that it will require an other 24 hours before the name of the lucky man could be given out. The result is being anxiously await ed by the friends of the various can- didates throughout the district. Sev- eral of the counties have not report ed the vote in this race, making it difficult for those compiling the vote to give out any definite information regarding it.

Little Rock, Ark, April I'm hec eagerness to make way with the wo- man who stood between her and the man with whom she was infatuated, Little Rock woman sent poisoned candy to her rival in spool box,
 which aroused the suspicion of the receiver and tragedy was averted.
 The candy was turned over to Dr. w. s. May, prominent eye and throat specialist of Little Rock, who in turn sent it to Dr. c. H. Hoffman the chemist at the Physicians and Surgeons Hospital, who made an ex- animation and found enough arsenic in the candy to have killed score of people. Both physicians decline to give the names of the persons in- volved in the transaction, but as the box of candy was sent through the
 mails, postal authorities will prob ably make an investigation, for the matter will have to be reported to them or the physicians will be liable to prosecution for concealing a crime from the government, which will make them accessories after the fact. Both women in the case are said to be married, and the one who receiv- ed the candy is the wife of a Little Rock merchant of some prominence. The other woman became jealous of her, having taken a fancy to her hus- band, and it is believed this prompt

STRETCH YOURSELF.
% II the First Thing After You Wake
In the Morning.

A splendid thing for the body is
stretching. When you first wake
upin the morning. take a good, long
stretch. Stretch the hands as far
out sideways as possible. Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can Hach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you can. Raise the feet and stretch
upward Just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
When you get ont Of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing OH tiptoe, see how near you
can reach the ceiling Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
tion. Stand on the right foot and
stretcl the right arm forward and
upward as high as YOU can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left.foot this exer-
else can be reversed.
If you have been. sitting in the
same position for a long time read
ing. studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have become tired and
cramped, the best thing 10 do is to
get up and stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for.
ward and backward. Lift the shoul-
ders as high as You can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply. or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
Ne feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far as posi-
any way SO YOU give the muscles Q
good, vigorous stretch.
When orr is very tired.' there is
nothing more restful than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.
