BRUMNERs BEGIN A NATIONWIDE
FIGHT AGAINST THE TIP SYSTEM

lion: now the tip is either in the ma
ture Of q bride or an enforced prem UNI
upon contract prices. Tip giving and
tip taking as practiced today is as
grossly commonplace, as the terms
graft and grating can express 1t IN
American parlance.
The hotel proprietOrs and many Of
the walters think that the public as
they comprehend it-their public-their
victims, are such moral towards that
the crusade to abolish tipping, shall
soon fall flat.
There is only one way to accomplish
the elimination Of tipping-quit it. With
the conviction that ii is the worst fea-
ture of travelling and Bohemian life,
men should have the moral courage to
discOuntenance it, by force Of practical
example.
Everybody should stop tipping. The
psychologist moment has arrived, for it
is now or never Public spirit has been
aroused against the system and con-
certed action agreed upon, with a unity
that will never prevail again, should
the present effort to abolish tipping
fail
1t is the duty of everyone to assist
to rid the United States of an iniquit-
Gus and UnAmerican custom.
Later, 1 viii publish some facts in
regard to the Pullman company that
will cause some Of the conveniently
blind to see things in a new light.
Stop tipping, and soon the hotel help
viii be placed in a less mental position
and Pullman pOrters advanced. Stop
tipping, and make them self-resp ecting
and better respected. Stop tipping, and
they viii become earners OF ADEQUATE
wages instead Of strOng-armed beggars.
Let US eliminate from American life
one Of the blOts upon our constitution.

TESS they had their effect upon me.
Personally I have experienced only

I find little difference between my

inspiring. 1t may get a little mOnotO-

The travelling end of the profession
differs very little from the travels OF
an ordinary tourist. We use the same
trains as the public, begin the journeys
at reasonable hours, reside at first
class hotels and live generally about
the same as people whom We meet
about US in other walks OF life.
So far as the morals are concerned,
firmly believe there is no more dan
ger in the stage as a profession than
there is in any other profession One
hears more discussion about the stage;
that's the main difference.

New York Woman Declares
ItLOwers Them in Gen

New York, y. Y, Jan. Women
smokers are strongly criticised by Mrs.
Clarence Burns, head Of the Little
Mothers Aid society and prominent
club woman Of New York. Her criti-
cism was called out by the published
offer of New York hotel men to per
nit women to smoke in their hOstelries
She said: No American woman can
smoke cigarets apd maintain stand
ing. Should the practice be allowed to
grow, 1T would lessen more and more
the respect in which WOmanhOOd is
held and would likewise reduce the
of advancement for which the
sex just now is battling"
Mrs. Burns's attention was called to
the fact that such well known society
women as Mrs. ". K Vanderbilt ST.
Mrs Alice Roosevelt LOngWorth and
Mrs. Craig Biddle were said to be fond
Of smoking the weed
I have no criticism to make OF indi-
viduals," said Mrs. Burns.

Robbery at Mammoth Spring

One of the most daring attempts
at bank robbery in the history Of
northeast Arkansas was made last
Thursday at noon at Mammoth
Spring.
Three masked men rode into
town and entered the bank, at noon
! thinking no one present but the
assistant cashier, Mrs. Wood.
They forced her to enter the vault
and began removing several sacks
from the counter. Afterwards
these sacks proved to contain only
iron washers. However, the off,
cials of the bank had been warned
of the robbery and were prepared
for them. They fired on the masked
men from the back of the bank,
and one of the bandits fell dead
after running a fewafeet from the
bank. The other two were cap
tured by the sheriff and his posse
that had been summoned by the
officers of the bank.
The dead robbers name is Ben
Jones of near Mammoth Spring.
The two captured were Otto Bur-
row and Lifus Davis. A short
time after the robbery, Lee Bur
row was shot while on the road
near town. He declares that DR..
Jones, father of the dead robber,
and Howard Sears shot him because
they thought he had given away
the plots of the others. The doc
tors say Burrow will recover, al
though he is severely wounded.
The two men have been arrested
and will be tried for attempted
murder of Burrow.
Young Jones was about % years
of age and has been at Mammoth
Spring about two years. Burrow
and Davis, the other two bandits,
will be given preliminary hearing
sometime this week.
The shooting affray caused con-
siderable excitement in that little
town. Most of the people in the
vicinity of the bank found it neces-
sary to seek some other part of the
town until the trouble was over,

ONE WAY OF SAVING
"A BABY-FREE TO THY

The mother does not live who
would not do all in her power to keep
her child healthy, but often she does
not know how. So when a doctor
of standing points the way all can
afford to listen.
1t is an accepted fact that nine out
of ten of the troubles of infants and
children is intestinal. You notice it
by the fact that the child is consti-
pated, it belches, is peevish and cries.
Don't give a remedy that contains an
opiate, because the child will get in
the habit of needing it, and don't be-
come alarmed and run at once for a
doctor.
