 UPON ARK. CI.AYS

Little Rock, March 25.-EXperts in Pittsburg, Pa., will be called upon to pass upon the clays of Arkansas when the geological department of the Uni versity of Arkansas has completed the survey of the state and collected all the specimens.
 A chemist from Arkansas will ac- company the clay and assist in the work, according to Prof. A. H. Per- due of the University of Arkansas, who has charge of this work.
 Prof. Purdue yesterday stated the clay specimens are about half gath cred and during the coming summer the students of the University geologi- cal department will complete the work so by next spring the commer- cial organizations of the state will be able to show to the people on the outside, just what can be manufac- tured from Arkansas clays, and in what part of the state chose of com mercial value may be found. The young surveyors have about half con- pleted the work on the survey of the water power of the state, and this too will be completed during the coming summer. When the water power work is out of the way the students will commence coal survey of the state

on the Spokane Indian reservation Notice has been served to the 250 holders of the lowest numbers that they shall appear at the land office April 1 to make the selections.
 In the notice sent to the holders of these numbers the notation is made that, contrary to the expectation of land officials, much of the land be- lieved available for filing has been designated as timber land, and there fore is not available for homestead.
 Of the 250 persons holding low numbers, only sixty-four will get land on the Spokane reservation, as there are only that many tracts. The land is appraised at $o per acre, and when a person makes a filing he will be compelled to pay one-fourth the cost and in addition, fees and commissions which amount to $22 for 160 acres.

History of the Potato Bug.

When Colorado began to be settled a wild potato was found on the eastern slope of the mountains which was in- fested by the larve of a species of beetle called doryphora descemliniata. This creature soon attacked the cultivated potato, and under the name of Colorado potato bug began its eastward advance. It entered Wisconsin at the Southwest ern corner in 1862, northern Indiana in 1867, southern Illinois in 1868 and ar rived in Connecticut in 1877,

DISCOURAGING TO FARMERS

 Raisers.

They Cannot Compete With the Dog
 Rasers.
 The killing off of valuable sheep in the towns of Oxford and Southbury. by blood thirsty dogs, answers once more the oft-repeated query, why Conneoti- cut farmers do not raise more sheep. It is because some people prefer to raise dogs. None but the farmers know the Encouragement and loss suffered as a result of such a raid as that made in the above mentioned towns on valuable focks of sheep, and the pity of it is, none but the sheep raising farmers seem to care.
 Dogs, licensed and unlicensed, are permitted to roam at will over the fields and through the woods, across lawns through flower and vegetable gardens, killing here, destroying there and dig ging up the turf whenever they have nothing else to do. Now and then, by way of variety, one of them goes mad and chews the cheek out of some inno- cent child, maiming and crlppling it for life, if not being the direct cause of the little ones death. Still the animals multiply and receive care, and some of them, too, seem to know more than some men.
 Apparently dog raising and sheep raising are both profitable industries, when properly carried on, and of the two the latter receives the less proteo- tion.-Ansonia Sentinel.

heavenly climate and its bombs, there

its fulfillment. A spirit told her to

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says WeIl-known
Authority.

THE numerous cases Of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, Of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so 1t will no longer be q
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most Of all, you must keep these acids
from forming In the stomach. This
Is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking we'll in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and SIM
pie prescription should be posted up
in each household and used at the
