SURRIDGE'S PLATFORM

Hon. w. K. Surridge, who has served his county four years as clerk and is now serving his fourth year as sheriff and collect or of Lawrence county, k now a candidate for railroad commission CT for the Northeastern district of Arkansas. If elected, 1 favor the following reforms by the railroads of Arkansas:
 believe that D per cent of the great enmity that exists between the railroads and the people is largely brought about through the diseourteous treatment which the people receive at the hands of the railroad station agents. operators and train auditors, as these are the employees who transact most all of the business that is done between the people and the railroads. l think that the railroads are too ex- tortionate in the charges on excess baggage and storage charges. 1 mean that there should be diff ferent restriction on the storage charges in person who lives at the railroad station and one who lives miles in the country, as the wagon roads might be in bad con- dition, which would prevent the country merchant or farmer from removing his freight from the de- pot for few days. And l promise if elected. to do all in my power to regulate this evil. l will also use my official power to force the railroads to compel their agents. operators and train auditors to be more courteous and accommodating to the public and to enforce the railroad laws as laid down by our statues, and will at all times work for the interest of the great mas ses and the upbuilding of Arkan- sas. Thanking you for your sup port on the 30th day of March, I am, ! ours very truly,

DIED..

SELF-At his home near Mont
gomery, La, April IL, 1910, j. w.
Self departed this life aged 81
years and s months.
The deceased was a native of
Mississippi, and a resident of this
State for the last SO years. He
served his country faithfully dur
ing the Civil War, belonging to
the 18th Mississippi Regiment,
and shortly after the surrender he
moved to Louisiana, where his
sterling qualities and fine charac-
ter won the respect and esteem of
all who came in contact with him.
His funeral was largely attended
by Montgomery's best people,
among whom were several Con-
federate veterans, who acted as
escort to the funeral cortege. The
Rev. Mr.. Pickles, of the Baptist
church delivered the funeral ora
ton, which was as eloquent as
beautiful and true.
Mr.. Self is survived by his wife
and six children, Messrs. Z. l.. and
A. G. Self, of. Clarence, and Mr..
Z. S. Self, of Natchitoches, Mrs.
Mollie Neal, of Verda, Mrs. Chas.
Chestnut, of Billes, aud Miss
Lizzie Self, of Montgomery.

Where the stars their vigils keep,
There near his first-born we laid him.
May sweet and long be their sleep.

to practice self-control; for there
is no drug that can make full
amends for dietary indiscretions,
and there is no drug that is not
more or less injurious in it's effects
upon the stomach.
1t is because of this fact that
drug medication has been SO larg-
ly abandoned in the treatment of
consumption. The stomach must
be kept in as good condition as
possible, and the digestion and as
similation of food are an absolute
necessity to recovery in tuberculo-
sis. Well will it be for the world
when similar care is taken of the
stomach in all other diseases.
Certainly in the light of the in
designations briefly referred to in
this article, it is matter of grave
whether or not alcohol
lc liquors are given to a sick per-
son throughout an extended illness.
The impairment of digestion, con-
segment upon the alcohol, may ie-
duce the patients strength so that
his chance for recovery NAV be
materially lessened. The agent
given in hope of relieving may be
the agent that leads to death.

tific proof of their harmfulness
brought forcibly to public notice
The equivalent of three table.
spoonfuls of lager beer to meaI
was found to retard digestion to q
very marked degree. Pancreatic
digestion was found to be even
more injurious affected by alcohol
than gastric digestion. DIR. Chit
tenden draws attention to the fact
that with a weak gastric juice,
and digestive action consequently
slow, or where the proteid matter
is difficult of digestion, the retard-
ing influence of alcohol is far great
er than when the digestive fluid is
more active. This shows that the
condition of enfeebled, digestion
for the relief of which some peo-
pie resort to wines, or malt liquors.
are the very conditions in which
alcohol should especially be avoid
ed. Alcoholic malt extracts, ''bit-
ters," Jamaica ginger, essence of
wintergreen (Which is pure alcohol
fiavored), and alcoholic proprie-
tary foods" are all of like harm
full nature to the weak stomach.
Alcohol, whether taken as wbis-
ky, wine or beer, or patent medi-
clnes, has worse effect upon the
digestion of women than of men.
for the reason that men are out-of-
doors more than women, hence re-
tain appetite for food longer.
Beer is said to be particularly bad
tor those leading an indoor life.
