PENITENTIARY BOARD
 MEETS TOMORROW

Little Rock, Aug. 11.-Attor- ney General Norwood will return to Little Rock from B a k r Springs, where he has been spending the summer with his family, and will be present at the meeting of the Arkansas Peni- tentiary Board tomorrow.
 All members will be in the city at that time, and as Gov. Dona- ghey was so much better today he was able to leave his room, he will also attend the meeting.
 It is probable that the matter of selecting the 2500 acre farm for white convicts will come up rat the Saturday meeting and committees appointed to investi- gate the various sites which have been proposed to the board.
 Former Senator Marshall Pat terson has a tract of land in Northeast Arkansas he thinks will be the real thing for t h e farm upon which white conyicts are to be worked.
 Frank Kitchens of Helena also desires to sell the state planta- tion in Eastern Arkansas, in Phil lips county.
 w. H. Langford of Pine Bluff, desires to sell the board an ideal location in Jefferson county. Representative Joe Hardage has plat of ground between Arka- delphia and Gurdon which he de sires to sell to the state for the farm, and there is still another bid from the vicinity of Hope.
 All of these will be given due consideration by the board, and all visited in order that the best might be secured.
 There will no doubt be severa other offers made to the board as Western Arkansas and the northern part of the state, has as yet offered nothing, and it is | intimated the board desires tC get to a part of the state where a portion of the farm will be Tn the mountains. where fruit can be raised.

The time for the payment of corporation franchise tax expired Thursday and the final day found clerks in all state offices very busy trying to keep up with the rush. There are a few de- linquents, but Treasurer Yates will probably give them until the first day Of September, before enforcing the penalty under the act,
 Over 2000 corporations have Sc far paid in, and much work is caused to the clerical force of the state thereby. Every item re- ceived on franchise tax must be handled three times in the office of Auditor John R. lobe, and twice in the office of Treasurer J. w. Crockett.
 Besides this the Tax CommiS- sion has to check over each item several times, making business very brisk in three of the states l offices.

CURING MEAT.

My method of curing meat is as fol-
lows: Make a brine strong enough to
float a fresh egg, and place the meat
in it. Let it remain four days. Then
drain off the brine and boil and skim
it to remove the blood that has been
drawn from the meat. When cold, re-
turn the brine to the meat after add.

remain in the brine three to four
weeks, and the thinner pieces not
more than three weeks. Hang the
hams n shoulders hook down, and
smoke thoroughly with corn cobs and
green cedar brush. Then take down
and paint all over with a mixture of
black molasses and black pepper
Wrap in stout paper and then put in
cotton bags and dip these in lime wash
and hang in a dark s~mokehouse. The

How to Change
Your Face
fFron1 Fashion Raviewl


The painful, dangerous and expens-
i've operation known as "face-peeting''
is not necessary to accomplish the re-
suits sought. One can gradually and
safely remove the old and unbeautifuI
cuticle from her face without pain,
danger or detention indoors. Simply
use ordinary mercolized wax, which
can be obtained at any drug store.
Apply it for a few nights like cold
cream and wash it off each morning.
The incredible in the wax slowly alb
serbs the half-dead outer skin, which
flakes off day by day in fine, invis-
ible particles. The fresh young skin
underneath soon blooms forth radi-
ant1y, making the face look years
younger and much prettier. Employ
ment of this process is not noticeable
to others, except that your complexion
improves rapidly.
OF course, the removal of the sur
face skin in this pleasant manner,
takes with it all facial blemishes, such
as chaps, freckles, moth patches, liver
spots, fine wrinkles, pimples, etc. Mer-
colized wax has been known for years
to many society women noted for their
beautiful and lasting compilations.
