Williams of Forrest City made the argument for the state and dealt some telling blows against attorneys who make it practice to attack the courts. Roy D. Campbell, of Little Rock, appeared for MT.

 The case originated in Woodruff county before Judge II. M. Hutton of Marianna. Senator CarlLee was charged with contempt in applying alleged derogatory remarks against Judge Hutton, growing out of an election contest in which Senator CarlLee and j. F.. Smith of Cross county were claiming the nomination of state senator Judge Hutton i'm posed heavy fine and six months term in jail. Senator CarlLee ap- pealed to the supreme court.

ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
 lief That should Interest ,YOu.

Although Indigestion and Dyspep- Sia are so prevalent. most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and cure There Is no reason why most people should not eat any thing they desire-if they will only chew It carefully and thoroughly. Many actually starye themselves into sickness through fear of eating every good looking good-smelling and good tasting food, because 1t does not agree with them.
 The best thing to do is to fit your self to digest any good food.
 We believe we can relieve Dyspep- sa. We are 50 confident of this fact that we guarantee and promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to every one who will use it, who is not perfectly satisfied with The results which it produces. We exact no pro- mise. and put no one under any obli- gation whatever. Surely, nothing could be fairer We are located right here and our reputation should be sufficient assurance of the genuine ness of our offer
 We want every one troubled with Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and buy box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home with you and give them a reasonable trial according to direc- tions. Then, if not satisfied. come to us and get your money back They are very pleasant to take; they aid to sooth the irritable stomach, to strengthen and inyigorate the diges- tive organs, and to promote d healthy and natural bowel action,thus leading to perfect and healthy digestion and assimilation.
 A 25c. package of Bexall Dyspepsia Tablets furnishes l5 days treatment. In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to produce a cure. In more chronic cases, d longer treatment. Of course, is necessary. and depends upon the severity of the trouble For such cases, We have two larger sizes which sell for 50c. and sl.00 Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in this community only at our store The Rexall Store j. f Sanders.

Successful Advertising.

Just what constitutes successful advertising has, to my mind, always been mooted question. If lot of printed promises, impossible of ful- tillment, that catches a bunch of suckers, can be called successful, beg to differ. An advertisement should tell the truth. It's very modesty should appeal to the intelli- gence of the reading public. Most all, so called, successful advertisers say that results are what count. o Very few, judging by the seductive promises made, care how these results are achieved, just so they are. The few responses 10 a so-caled splendid advertisement, and the many re- plies to poor advertisement, also help to cast the measure of doubt on the subject. So, really, as far as con- cerns the question of successful adver. Using, l am up in the air and you can search me. l have not found the solution yet, and am still groping in the dark. Advertisements are a good deal like mule-you can't tell in what direction they are going 10 kick. Take my case, for instance. Yesterday l received letter from Southern Louisiana. It said: Dear sir:-Saw your ad in a Montgomery, Ala, paper etc, etc Now, how do you like that? Instead of results from northern Alabama, il came from the land Of bearded trees. n Responses come from the most unexpected quar- ters, My experience during the past six years, that have been advertising my famous Dumb-Chill Malaria Cap sules, has impressed me with one thing, very forcibly, towit: no mat. ter Low good your article is. the world is full of sceptics. For experi- mental purposes, had printed ad- vertisments of various kinds-digni- fled, stitf-backed ones; ads that were ruffle-edged and cut on the bias, others that hit you straight in the eye like a brick falling off sky scraper; then the appealing advertise ment, etc, etc. l really believe the following simple ads brought me the results, and l am still using.it: All bilious, malaria ridden people, should use Dachsel's Famous Dumb Chilr' Malaria Capsules. A sure remedy for all ma arial ills Send fifty cents for box to c. A. Dachsel, Druggist Cor. Pennsylvania and Iowa Ave, Memphis, Tenn. One wise man said, advertising is like scattering seed about. Another very wise man said. "les, but lots of the seed never come up. If any of The Times readers can give me points, come right along, l want them. And If all of the Times readers suffer from malarial ills, come on, want you also. I've got the real genuine, honest goods, or your money back.

\ Gift With \ ThOuiiht In IL.

What other Christmas present costs so little and means so much as a sub scription to The Youths Companion 52 weeks for sl.75? It is gift which benefits not only the one who re- ceives it, but every member of the same household.
 With many Christmas presents the sense of novelty wears off by the weeks end, but The Youths Com panion is as new and sought after the fifty second week of the year as the first. It is elastic in it's adaptability, too; for it does not matter whether the present is for boy or girl, young married people. sedate couples, grand parents-there never was one yet who did not set store by The Youths Companion. You cannot make mis- take if you give The Youths Com panion and it Is only Sl.75 year now. On January l. 1912, the price will be advanced to E. 0o.
 The one to whom you give the sub scription will receive free The Youths Companions Calendar for 1912, litho- graphed in ten colors and gold and you, too, as giver of the subscription. will receive a copy of the calendar.
