STATES PURE VINEGAR LAW
Recent Seizure Called Attention to En
 Actment by Last Legislature.

From the Gazette
 "The recent seizure of vinegar in Arkansas under the nation Il pure food and drugs act," said J. K. Perryman, vinegar dealer of Rogers, who was in Little Rock, yesterday, "calls attention to the fact that Arkansas has stringent law relating to the adulteration of vinegar and it is one of the best laws that was enacted by the last general assembly. It pre- vents the sale of colored vinegars ia Arkansas. The act carries very heavy penalty for selling colored distilled vinegar, as in eaca case the manufacturer, the wholesaler and the retailer is lia. ble for a $50o fine or one year inn prisonment, or both fine and inn prisonment.
 "The national law provides that adulterated vinegar as we'll as other foodstuffs, may be sold, provided they are so branded, but the state of Arkansas acted wisely when it passed the act saying that col ,red distilled vinegar shall be deemed an adulteration and cannot be sold in the state.
 "'rhe average housewife pre- sumes that if the vinegar is red or straw color, she is getting an apple vinegar, when as matter of fact by taking the cheap dis titled vinegar and adding little burnt sugar or caramel coloring, it resembles apple cider vineg sr in color, yet It had never been near an apple press, nor had drop of apple cider vinegar put in it.
 ''If a grocer delivers to the home a plain white vinegar, the housewife has chance to know that it is not an apple vinegar, for apple vinegar is not white.
 1.-The Arkansas law specially prohibits the addition of artificial coloring matter to vinegars and this is in line with the practice in other states" ]"

COURT TO DECIDE
 PAY FOR INJURIES
Bill Pending in Congress Would Over turn Employers Liability Law
 Taft Said to Favor

Washington, Feb. 6.-One of the most radical pieces of pro- posed legislation before the pres ent Congress and one which here- tofore has not occupied any great amount of attention, is now being given serious attention by the Ju- dietary Committee of the house and a hearing on it has been or. dered on February F, to which practically all the prominent rail- roads of the country have been invited. It is the bill introduced by Representative Sabath (Dem. ) of Illinois, which would require all corporations "carrying on oc. equations and trades subject to the reguiatiye power of Con- gress,' including railroads, ex. press companies and sleeping car companies, to pay compensation on fixed bases to injured employ es. The legislation, if enacted, would overthrow the present em- ployers' liability law, and, in fact, revolutionize the existing system of indemnity for personal injuries.
 The bill is based upon the ex- istlng laws of England and Ger many. Such law was favored in one of the messages of former President Roosevelt and President Taft is also said to have com mented fayorably upon it.
 Bill Specific in Character.
 The bill provides that 50 per cent of the employees earnings would be paid in case of total dis ability. The measure goes into the minutest detail in regulating the payment for injuries, specify iug how much shall be paid for the loss of an eye, an arn, a finger, toe, loss or impairment of sight, hearing or similar in- jury and including medical, sur gical and hospital treatment. The loss of toe is fixed at 5 per cent. The loss of both eyes at 75 per cent; the loss of the right hand at b0 per cent.
 The bill would establish court, to be known as the federal Com- mission of Injury Awards, to con- sist of three members, to be ap. pointed by the president, at sala- ries of $6, 1000 per year each, with full authority to inquire into and prosecute claims and to employ necessary assistants.

CHANCELLOR GETS
 TOO DRASTIC
Supreme Court Holds That in His At- tempt to Make Liquor Prohibition More Effective. He 0verstepped
 Authority of Law.

Little Rock, Feb. 7.-The su- preme court today reversed the decree of the Washington county chancellor, who entered "Crime preventing regulative order" re- specting the sale of liquor at Fay etteyille, or in "dry" territory.
 The chancellor, after ordering illicit liquor seized and destroyed in the express office at Fayette- vile, as provided by the statute, went so far as to thereafter ''for- bid the express agent giving out liquor packages to any one except an officer, at night, nor to any one in the daytime except an off, ficer, unless the officers were given six hours notice that liquor was at the ofice."
 The supreme court holds that such an order was without war; rant of law. That the law has provided a method for prohibit ing the sale of liquor in prohibi- ton territory and additional orders by judges are in excess of authority.

Rev. C. W. Burks' Mother Dead.

Mrs, c. w. Burks received a message from her husband, Rev. c. w. Burks, that his mother, Mrs. L. N. Burks, died Sunday at her home at Kemp, Tex.
 Several days ago MT. Burks re- ceived word that his mother, who is far advanced in age, was sick with pneumonia. MT, Burks left at once for her bedside, realizing that the result would probably prove fatal, as 1t has.
 The deceased had a number of friends id Mena, having spent several months here last summer.

 To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir:-Will you allow me little space in your paper to talk about the hog law.
 I have been living in Polk county for "A years and 1 have never seen any use for a hog law, for some of the people are like I am. 1 am one that has no land, and what would the poor renter do for meat if there was hog law :? He would have to do with out or pay the landholder rent for pasture. 1 have some fine hogs. They are Poland China and they have not eaten a bushel of corn and they are ia fine con- dition. Where did they get it l? Off of the free range. Aud I have my meat salted down for 1910, and will have plenty of meat for 1911, if nothing happens. What Polk county needs is good fences and free range. We have no more use for a hog law than frog has for a side saddle, and if the people of Polk county see like I dc there will never be a hog law. l don't say anything against the pastures, for I know they are a good thing, but let everybody have their pastures if if 1t so they can, and then let the people have free range. That is my idea. hope the people will see as I do and won't vote for a hog law in Polk county.

a majority of the voters of the county, or of any one township, for the question is voted on by townships, are in favor of letting the hogs run loose, in favor of raising scrubs instead of good stock that will be their privilege. 1 am a Democrat and believe in majority rule. l do sincerely hope thrt the farmers who have been deluding themselves that there is really something in scrub hogs and the free range will see the error of their views and join the procession of progress.
 There is bright day dawning for Polk county, for grand old Arkansas and for the entire South. It has been a long time coming, but 1t is in sight now. Come out on the bright side, the right side. Don't pull back. T. P. Fulton,

More Range is What We Need.
To the Editor of The Star.

10 the Editor Of The Star.
 Dear Sir:-One of your corre- spondents from Cove says that the
 law of supply and demand is sometimes violated by unscrupu- lous persons getting a corner on some of the necessaries of life. That is alarmingly true. Any one of ordinary sense can see that is why some men favor the hog law. There is no reason for hay. ing hog law in Polk county. If this was prairie country, 1
 would say give us the hog law by all means; but since 1t is a rough timber country and much of it is untillable, 1t is fit for nothing but outside range. Every man that ever fenced wood pasture knows that in this country in five years the brush would be so thick COW or horse could not get through 1t. Besides we have an abundance of timber to fence with.
 He says the hog law IS the par amount issue ot Polk county. 1 think the great necessity of Polk county is more good farmers and less grumbling. There is no force ID the theory that the hog law would make more meat in the country. If a man wants to Keep his hogs up, let him do so; and if his neighbor wants to let his run on the range, let him do so. l wish those favoring the hog law would come down in Ouachita township and fill up on onr good sausage fried in home made lard, and then hush their 10 o ish prattling about the hog. Your correspondent from Cove, in a former epistle, said he raised two little razorback pigs, his neighbor gave him, on his wifc's vegetables from the garden and fattened them on bran and chops shipped into the country, and that is all the meat this champion of the hog law has ever sad anything about raising in the four years he has been in Polk county. 1 guess ne has been living on packing house produce. We happen to know something about the pros- perity of those hog law countries. Every one of them eff United States statistics are to be relied on) is mortgaged for more than their holdings will pay, and if the sorriest farmer or "mossback, "I as he calls them, has not paid his merchant, 1 haven't heard of him. I say 1 believe the merchants ,fl our county will say, give us more 'mossback" farmers, that raise their own meat and pay their debts. and less of these pre- gressive fellows who cuss present conditions and live ou packing house products. Now I lived in hog law country 25 years and know what 1 am taking about.
 l will say this to the people ot Polk county: You will never be sorry but one time when you vole the hog law on yourselves, and that will be all your life. You will

WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE
 ECZEMA.

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, penetrating li- quid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema pa- tients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. prescription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Pre- scriptiop, at only 2 cents, will in- stantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from it's use. We recommend it to our patrons.

UNION WINS IN
 CAPITOL STRIKE.
Haley & Hornibrook Must Employ Union Timers Before They Do Any More Work cn the
 Building.

Ltttle MOCK, FeDrudry, o-An agreement that Haley & Horni- brook shall not go back on the state capitol building work until they sign an agreement with the Sheet Metal Workers Union, was reached at meeting between the Capitol Commission and represen- tatives of the union and the Building Trades Council yester- day, and as a result all of the trades except the timers will re- turn to work on the capitol Mon. day morning.
 The agreement was reached af ter four-bours' session, which began in the morning and con- tiuued until afternoon. The commissioners at first were not inclined to accede to the unions demands, which practically meant that Haley& Hornibrook be forced 10 unionize their shop in Little Rock, as we'll as the capitol work. The union representatives stood their ground, however, and the agreement that the nonunion tim ners should not be allowed to re- turn to work was finally reached.
 What plan the contractors will follow, MT. Hornibrook declined to disclose. He declared, how eyer, that his firm intends to com plete its contracts on the capitol and said that none of these con- tracts calls for the work to be done within union labor. The contracts held by Haley & Horui. brook total more than $35, 900.
 A suggestion.that the timing firm might install a complete tin. shop on the capitol grounds to be operated entirely under a union contract was advanced by MT. Hornibrook last night as a possi- ble solution for the objection of the sheet metal workers to work ing with material from a non- union shop. The representatives of the union made this last ob- JectIon when the proposition was made to them to work for the Capitol Commission on the Haley x Fornibrook contracts. This plan would not be satisfactory to the union, however, a union representative stated last night.
 The union representatives are highly elated over the result of the conference with the commis- sion. H. A. Raines, president of the Sheet Metal Workers Union, stated last night that the agree mcnt entered into by the commis- sion was entirely satisfactory to them and that the men would return to work Monday morning and continue at work as long as the agreement is kept. He said that he and his associates received excellent treatment at the hands of Governor Donaghsy and the commissioners. Further than that he declined to disclose what was accomplished.
 Governor Donaghey would only give out that the strike had been settled and that in the future only union men are to be worked on the capitol.
