 The Arkansas Land Congress is the outcome of the recent Land Ex- position at Chicago. This great gathering demonstrated the fact that the people are land hungry. They are leaving the cities in search of homes in the rural districts, where they can, out of the soil, make that living to which they are entitled, and which the high cost of articles which they consume in the cities prevents them from doing. Arkansas has the land, and among other things the of- ficial call for the Land Congress says:
 "nhe desert lands of the west, which are not susceptible of cultiva- tion except ;by irrigation, are drawin e the most desirable classes of immi- grants. This is due to the fact that
 the advantages of these lands, as developed by irrigation, are advertis- ed throughout the entire country and In every land across the sea.

DIR. CLARK AND AUTO
 IN AN ACCIDENT
We'll Known Physician Barely Es- capes Death When He Ran Onto SandhiIl on East Second. Where
 No Lights Were Placed.

Dr. o. w. Clark had a narrow as- cape from being killed and his au- tomobile was partially wrecked when he ran onto a sandhill on East Sec ond avenue early Friday morning, while hurrying to the bedside of a patient. The car was being driven eastward on Second avenue by Dr. Clark when it ran into the sand and almost turned complete somer- sault, throwing the physician several feet onto a concerto sidewalk. He was slightly bruised, but his car was badly damaged. Dr. Clark says there were no danger lights on the pile of sand, which was deposited i1 the middle of the street, and fl could not be seen even with the strong rays of his auto lights.

DIR. CALDWELL IS
 WINNING VOTES

The whirlwind tour of Dr. J. L.. Caldwell, who is candidate for rail- road commissioner, is proving suc- cessful, in most of the towns he has visited, and reports show that he ad- dresses large crowds. Many reports of the nasty campaign show that Dr. Caldwell is believed to be the man for the office. He spoke at Lake Vil- lage yesterday at II o'clock, and at Arkansas City and Dermott, Friday, He will probably spend Sunday here with his family.

 The contractors in charge of the work will continue to pave the turn between Walnut and Olive streets and complete the work south on Olive street before taking up the work on Walnut, north of Fifth ave- nue.
 After the blocks are laid they are rolled to smooth surface with a stea mroller, weighing five tons, and given covering of sand. The grad ing has been practically completed and the concrete laid to Thirteenth avenue. This part of the work was the most difficult and the paving will proceed rapidly.
 Since the creosoted blocks have been placed much favorable comment l has been made as to their appearance and avlue, compared with many of the poorly paved brick streets over the city and property owneds in the new Dis- trict or urging adjoining property owners to create similar improv- ment districts with view to having the street paving in that section of the city uniform. The argue that
 without adjoining streets paved dust
 accumulating therefrom will prove a
 nuisance to them and serve to de-
 prive them of the benefits sought by
 their progressiveness.
 In keeping with the paving that is
 in progress along Walnut street
 many property owners have already
 torn up their old brick sidewalks
 and are replacing them with modern
 concrete which are being laid to a
 uniform grade.

DAISY FLY KILLER
TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. Of Sufferers Is Enormous
and There Seems but Ono
Remedy.

F-om several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis, it is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent. Of the prison population Of the
country Is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
Of the United States at any given
time, not less than 10000 are infected
with this disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
Of the prisons Of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places Of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and In the major
ity Of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction Of the old buildings
and the erection Of new ones.

A Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something Of an artist as
well al an actress, was recently call.
ed upon In one Of her marvellous crea-
items to enact the role Of q sculptor,
end to model a certain bust in view Of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill In han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks Of actors
and actresses; as a matter Of fact, she
does nothing Of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over 1t Is
placed damp clay Of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

LEG A MASS or HUM0R

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle, 1t trritated me
so that I began to scratch 1t, and II
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was n solid scale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep. or my wife either, and 1t
was completely undermining u
health. l lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in tine presence of company,
I would have to scratch 1t until I had
the blood running down into my shoe.
I simply cannot describe my suffer
Ing during those eve years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife Is simply indie
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
p~erience it to know what it is.
81 tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but / might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad if not worse. I had given up
hope Of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticrra Remedies for a little
while I began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day I was born. Now after a lapse Of
six months with no signs Of a recur-
renee I feel perfectly safe in extend
Ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. I shall always recommend
them to my friends. w. H. White,

My Funniest
Experience
GLOVES roo MUCH FOR HIM.
BY Charles NJ. Floyd, Ex-Governor OF
New Hampshire.

BY Charles M. Floyd, Ex-Governor Of
New Hampshire.
From the New York World.
IN URING the early part of my cam
paign for the orc, Of governor I
had to do q lot OF travelling In iso-
lated parts or the state. snd found one
Of my most difficult duties was to visit the
outlying districts not accessible by rail-
way. After many discouragements In get
ting to my various destinations on time, I
at last adopted the automobile as the
surest and quickest method OF convey
ance, n thereby hangs this tale.
The committee with which I was work.
Ing convinced me that II was quite neces-
sary to coax a certain farmer over to our
political view. He was a man of reputed
political power, and II won over to our
way Of thinking he would undoubtedly
WELD an amazing result at the polls. He
was one, moreover. who had voted the
other party's ticket during mis- voting
years n must be handled In a dexterous
manner II he were to be won at all. Up
on acquaintance I proved this estimate OF
him to be correct. He lived about six
miles from Hillsborough. in the western
part OF the state. When we pulled up be-
fore the house at s O'Clock we found Il in
darkness. Every one had gone to bed and
the farmer had no wish to be disturbed.
For some time we shouted and called, and
at last got a sleepy answer couched In no
complimentary terms. He stood at the
second-story window and roared: Tn
not interested in politics and besides tina
II you want to talk come around at a de-
cent hour and not when folks are in bed.
I don't care anything about your party
anyhow, go along with you"
He was clearly angry, and we knew we
should have a hard time with him. No
monarch ever received more adulation
than we gave him that night. We plead
ed, implored and cajoled that farmer un-
I'll he came below, and he did this, I be-
lieve, in order to give vent to his spleen
against us.
He began as soon as he reached the
stoop: you city guys think you can fool
US by wearing glad rags, stovepipe hats
and gloves and sporting around in auto
mobiles, but hat kind Of politics don't go
in this part OF the country, and It's about
time some Of you grafters tumbled to 1t.
Huh, the Idea of comm around in auto
mobiles like millionaires. We are the
common people. and we want to see a real
man elected who won't put on Jugs and
who amt afraid OF work"
After this delivery he listened to our ex-
planation-that we had to travel all over
the state and could not depend upon the
trains. They might be behind time and
the audience would be disappointed; then,
too, there were many places to visit thai
the trains did not reach. The farmer was
finally convinced that the automobile was
a necessary evil and subsidized somewhat,
but he well nigh paralyzed US with his
next observation:
'Tll allow you may need an automobile"
then he looked me over carefully-''but
what about your gloves? Are they neces-

The Fast Cure.

DR.. Forbes Ross IN the London Express.
Only In cases Of people between the
ages Of 80 and 80 should starvation for
one moment be thought OF, and even
then the patient should be one of those
beetroot-faced persons known in the
medical world as astronomical hogs
whose overindulgence makes such
treatment necessary. Up to the age of
80 the fast cure would be suicide. for
up to the age OF 25 the bones are still
growing, and the brain power of an in
dividual Is being strengthened up to
the age OF 30, 1t scapacity being greater
than at 20.
In the young the inevitable result CT
frequent our to this cure Will be
consumption, for the patient is onIy
starving in a literal sense. The feeling
Of the pangs of hunger which are ex-
perienced for the first two or three
days mean that the digestive organs
are working fruitlessly. After that
they 1nd work in consuming one an
other. This is proof that the patient
is living on himself. After the q
OF 80 the danger OF consumption is very
small, and the body requires less nour-
ishment. Those who think that the
fast cure" will do any good may at
tempt It at this age with little fear OF
any serious consequences.
After the age or IS such a course Is
most critical periods in a persons life.
Between this and the age Of IS the
heart always makes IN attempt TO fail.
And the only e OF preventing this
In 10 partake OF q rich diet. When this
later period 10 safely past the patient
can look forward to attaining the "
OF 100.

Eureka.

I've found a cook, I've ound a cook,
I've found a cook who'll stay.
My kitchen ne'er will be forsook
From now till Judgment Day.
Her eyes are black as sparkling Goals,
Her cheeks are cherry red,
And sunny curls like aureoles
Are clustered u her head.
And she can sing, and she can dance.
Ihls Wondrous cook OF mine-
Our kitchen IL does much enhance
To hear her voice divine;
And she a make a pumpkin pie
Such as you never ate
Indeed Of all Nv eaten I
Have never known so great.
And she can brew, and she can bake
Such baking ne'er was seen;
And when it comes to chop and steak,
She's just a perfect queen.
Her sauces take me to Paree,
Her buildings drive me mad,
And nowhere on this earth you'll see
Such salades rich and glad.
Her mashed potatoes taste like cream,
Her turnips all ring true,
Her beets remind you of some dream
When life was fresh and new;
And when she takes a broiler out
And puts II on the fire,
You eat 1t feeling not a doubt
That bliss can go no higher.
All, she's indeed the richest gift
Ihat ever came my way,
When there is cloud. she proves the rift
That lights the perfect day.
Her wages, just a pleasant word!
o how my pulses stir
To think Nv had the luck absurd
TO win and marry her!

IN FAVOR OF FAT.
The Stout May Read This and Pluck
Up Courage.

From the Medical Record.
Fat Is often unappreciated or misun-
derstood and unduly blamed for sins
Of delinquencies Of other body foods.
From 10 to 20 per cent of each healthy
body is composed OF fat and its chief
sources are the starches and sugars,
though certain fats are directly uti-
lized. The weight of present opinion
Is In favor Of the view that fats are
completely decomposed in the intestine
and that the fatty acids formed are
absorbed, either as soaps or in a solu-
ton brought about by the bile.
AS a source OF energy for the develop
ment OF heat. fat may be described as
quickly available, but not so lasting
as some other substances. BY its con-
centrated fuel power II saves other It's
sues, especially the albuminous ones
from overoxidation and is valuable as
as reserve force.
Moreover, by its presence the pro-
tein Is better enabled to do its work
In tissue building and as q storage Of
energy for emergencies 1t Is Of great
Importance. The last material use Of
rat is to serve as a protection of the
body from injuries and cold. It forms
an outer cushion for the frame.
From an aesthetic standpoint the
physiological and orderly distribution
Of fat In the connective tissue makes
all the difference between beauty and
ugliness. In considering the psychic
role Of fat We should specially bear in
mind, G. NJ. Niles says, its reserve
function In relation to active vital
processes. A liberal deposition of fat
Is n Of natures wise precautions to
enable US to bear some of the trials Of
life: 1t has been known from earliest
antiquity that fat people are more
coHtenta1 and optimistic than lean ones
and the supply Of fat may be compared
to the ample bank account of a busy
and p~rovident man.
Niles avs that he believes he IS cor
rect In asserting that a physiological
reserve Of fat by it's very presence
exerts a quieting influence on the vital
forces most concerned in constructive
metabolism while it's lack leads to a
physical discomfort and unrest, which
sooner or later reacts on the DISPOSE
ton, developing into that pessimism and
temperament, discomfort so often seen
In lean people.

A Suffraset Parade.


1t was a glittering pageant. The air
was filled with the music Of 40 bands:
700 banners Of all colors, sizes and de-
signs ioated above the steadily march,
ing women, and, instead of the somber
garb Of the past few weeks. bright sum-
mer dresses were worn. Variety was
lent to the scene by the presence Of
university women in their academic
robes and by the beautiful garlands of
flowers carrier by the majority of the
marchers. This latter idea was copied
from professions on the continent,
where flowers are much more often car
ried. AS far as the eye could see the
procession stretched. The place Of
honor, Immediately behind the women's
band. was occupied by GIT women, each
representing an imprisonment suffered
for the cause. ROBBED in white and car
rying wands tipped with silver arrows,
which glittered in the evening sun
shine, the detachment seemed like the
leaders Of a trtumphal army Of peace
marching to take possession Of their
kingdom. In their midst was the beau
tiful silk banner, bearing the signatures
Of so prisoners who had been forcibly
fed while in jail.
At the head Of this prisoners pageant
walked Mrs. Pankhurst. Miss C%hristabel
Pankhurst, in her bachelors robes:
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, Lady Con-
stance LyltoH ana MISS Annie Kenny.
To the tune Of triumphant music they
passed, with soundless tread, in SEEM
ingly endless numbers. But this was
only the beginning Of what was to come.
Headed by a double band, section after
section followed, each led by its cap
tain. Ladies whose hair has grown
white In the cause Of women's enfran-
chisement walked side by side with mill
girls from Lancashire and sweated
tOilerS from the East End So MANY
women were there that 1t was difficult
to conceive whence they came. and the
very magnitude of their numbers i'm
pressed the onlookers.
