LAXATIVE SENT FREE TO TRY

1t may be taken for granted that
there is no family that does not some
time need laxative. If you don't
know of good laxative, or the laxa-
tive you are using is losing its effect,
we want to call your attention to DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which thou
sands of families are using success
fully.
We have scores of letters from
mothers, and scores from prominent
men saying they are using it person
ally and giving it to their families,
men like Mr.. c. K. Smith of the
Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff,
Ark, and Mr.. George B. Turner, a
lawyer of Harlan, KY. The thou
sands of mothers who use it them
selves and give it to their children
would take too much space to men
ton.
The reason they prefer Syrup Pep
sin is that it is mild, gentle laxa-

MANY APPLICATIONS
FOR STATE AID

The State Board of Education has
received requests from more than
100 high schools thr oughout the
state for state aid under the new
law. There is so much interest
taken in the work that several small
academies have decided to the state,
in order to receive the desired as
sistance from the state. According
to Superintendent Cook has already
received in property value more
than $4,000, the amount the state
will pay out on account of state aid
to high schools.
Not all the applicants, however
will receive aid. Under the pro-
visions of the law no high school
in a city can receive aid unless it
has an enrolment of 25 students
and all rural high schools must have
an enrolment Of as many as Is be-
fore they can share in the appropria-

Mr.. SLOAN ON
new FEED LAW

The General Assembly 1911 en-.
acted a law controlling the making
and selling of what is known as
Mixed or Commercial Feed. 1t is
of interest to manufacturers, dealers
and feeders.
No maker of these feeds is allow
ed to sell them in this State until he
complies with the law by registra-
tion in this department, name of
feed, its analysis and ingredients,
and weight of package. He can
put up 3. 10, %, so, 70, 100, 1875,
$50, IT'S, and 200 pound packages
only and must guarantee weights,
analysis and ingredients. Thus the
fair manufactures will be protected
from the unfair one. No more
worthless and indlgestible ingredi
ents to compete against.
Manufacturers obtain tags from
this department bearing the sigma
ture of the commissioner, which
must be attached to every bag offer
ed for sale. Wholesale and retail
dealers should make orders for feed
stuff sent to the manufacturers,
read "Arkansas tax tags attached. P"
If the shipment does not bear these
tags when 1t arrives, refuse to re-
ceive it. The fair dealer will be
protected from the unfair one. No
more ordering the manufacturer to
made a 46 pound bag that the un-
fair dealer can sell as a so pound
bag in competition with the fair,
hustling dealer wdo has discounted
him a little IN their competitive
selling of a real so pound bag.
The consumer should look tor
the tag IN buying his feed stuff. 1t
guarantees him accurate weight.
1t guarantees the fat making and
muscle making qualities of the feed
Recently this Office received letter
from a user of mixed feed saying
that he thought that its use had
killed a good morse for him. Some
manufacturers of feed use a low
grade of -four, worthless for human
food, called "Dog Flour" 1t is
held by experts that this fails of
assimilation, forms wa ken ball in
the stomach and will kill. | take
it that but few of mixed feeds are
injurious, but there is great differ
ence in the fat making and muscle
building qualities in them. If you
will examine the analysis on the
tag, you will soon learn to tell Just
what feed you want to buy. Look
for the tag. Demand the tag. 1t

County and city officials here to

Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Little, twas

an all nights search, with his neck
broken. The negro denied know,

Young Little was last seen play

him during a scuffle, and threw him
into the river to cover up his crime.

to keep silver articles bright, but are
also a great protection from possible

Bags made Of wash-leather only
will answer their purpose perfectly
well, but with covering Of baize
they will last much longer. and are

Among New Materials.

Transparent materials are Just as

And what Is so effective In contrasts
as silks or satins with gauzy weaves?
One of the fancies for the next sea
son win undoubtedly be the yelling Of
brocades with chiffons. mousseline and
thin marquisettes. Some Of the new
brocades provided for this use are
passing lovely. Many of !. them are
shot abundantly with gold in actual
metal or colored silk. and the CLEAN OF
this metallic effect will greatly en-
ha1ce the richness Of handsome
gowns. Some chiffons are shot with

parent materials are abundant
For simpler gowns. the chiffons and
their kind will continue to be used
over stripes and checks and over
changeable silks.
There are a good many novelties,
among the new materials. One OF
them Is a velvet of tweed effect in
the two-toned shot appearance OF the

but 1t is fashionable. which is the
next thing Changeable effects appear,
not only among the new silks. but
abundantly among the wools even in
the heavy suitings. And many Of the
two-toned woods. which are mixed on
one side and are plain on the other

Some Of these color schemes are very
effective Dark tones with touches of

BALANCED FEED
FOR LIVE STOCK
Few Farmers Understand Feed.
Ing and Medicinal Value OF
Either Blood or Lin.
seed Meal.
tBy E. c. GLITzKE.)


Few farmers understand the feed
ing and medicinal value OF either
blood meal or linseed meal Perhaps
no other food contains the necessary
food element in such concentrated
form
In order to be successful In their
use one must thoroughly understand
their composition. for the one is ex-
actly opposite. both in medicinal and
food value, from the other.
Blood meal is a highly concen-
trated form of protein, that most val
liable OF food elements the part from
which animals receive their muscles.
Where much corn is fed some blood
meal should be added In order to
balance up the ration, for corn is very
rich in fat.
Such young stock as pigs. calves and
colts very often get the scours from
overlooking. but few doses of blood
meal will correct the bowels at once
and carry the animal safely through
+ this dangerous disease
In the case OF very young stock
that follow their mother It should be
given to the dam and the young will
get the benefit Of 1t through the milk.
In all other cases give 1t directly to
the young stoek. inesaeh quantities as
may be needed to slit the size of the
animal and severity of the case.
Linseed meal is exactly opposite in
all its properties. 1t has a tendency
. to loosen the bowels, therefore it Is
Linseed meal Is very rich in fat-ths
very valuable In cases of constipation.
food element that gives. heat and
energy to the stock
Where any food deficient in fat is
I fed to the stock a quantity of Hnseed
meal should be added to balance up
the ration.
Handled calves are usually fed on
SKINNED milk. Now the fat of the
milk has been taken out by the sep
arator and therefore the protein re-
mains In excess of all other elements.
small quantity OF linseed meal fed
in the milk will balance up the ration
and make 1t practically. as good as the
whole milk.
In cases of constipation in very
young stock that follow their mother
1t should be given to the dam, as the
young will get the benefit of 1t through
the milk.
Where these two articles are kept
on hand the farmer need have no
fear OF either constipation or scours
in his stock, for these two articles
act exactly as described and no evil
results need be feared from their
constant USE
