CUARDSs Will BE
OUT OF DEBT

Little Rock, Dec .6.-The Arkansas
National Guard will soon be able to
wipe off the books of the war depart
ment the charge of over $4,000 for
equipment furnished to the guard
from the time it was first created.
Major Eugene B. Jet who has had
charge of the ordnance department
for number of years, is now prepar-
ing his report, and when it is in read
mess it will be gone over, as well as
the supplies on hand, by the board of
survey, which will be composed of dis
interested officers of the guard.
The Arkansas guard has been cred
tied with little by the government for
worn-out equipment, though all ord
nance Just issued has been carefully
charged. An effort was made in the
last congress to have the account wip-
ed out by legislation, but nothing
came of it, so the board of survey is
expected to render a report which will
forever wipe out the account, and let
the guard start under the adminlstra-
ton of Governor Robinson with
clean slate.
Practically everything is now ac-
counted for with the exception of

4 MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Yinol also fog'tifies the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton. over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "vinol il godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, have a
hearty appetite, sleep souncly, feel
active and well. 1t Is the finest tonic
and strength-creator l have ever
used"
If Vinol fails tb build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, We will return your money.

were it not for the fact that the stat

Der of the offenses, several other in
dictments would be returned by the

MISS HAMILTON ENTERTAINS
LARGE AUDIENCE WITH
READING AT CENTRAL.

Miss Eva E. Hamilton, teacher of
expression in Central College, assisted
by Miss Allie Merle Conger, pianist,
gave reading, Tale of Two Cities"
at the college auditorium last night
One of the largest and most appre-
ciative audiences ever gathered in the
auditorium heard Miss Hamilton. Her
reading was intensely dramatic, but
perfectly natural, and was unani-
mously pronounced to be the best ever
heard in the city. Miss Conger's mus
ical numbers were splendid, and the
entertainment one of the best ever
given at the college.

REPORTS ON SPANISH
WAR PENSION FUND

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-Bruce T. Bull
lion, private secretary to Governor G.
w. Donaghey, is busily engaged get
ting up his report on the fund which
the government placed in the hands
of Governor Donaghey nearly four
years ago, to pay the volunteers for
the Spanish American war from the
time they enlisted until the time they
were mustered into the service. This
fund amounted to over 5000, but it
has since dwindled to about $1,000,
though interest which local bank
has been paying upon the daily bal
ance may run it much higher
For several months after the money
was received, members of the two Ar
kansas regiments to apply for the
small amounts due them were plenti-
full. In the past year there has been
but few demands, and the amounts
paid on these were small. Fully one
third of the men who are entitled to
participate in the division Of the
money have not been heard from, al
though the fact the money was here
for them has been widely advertised.

so thick that they are nuisance,
and we are going to try to get rid
Of them. They were probably
carried down in the miners
buckets, and have become so
numerous that in darting around
in the lower levels they have
bumbed employees in the eyes and
face. They are covered with white
dust and when a. miner is struck
he also gets an eye full of dust. "

Exercise.

Exercise in It's general Significance
is glorious thing. 1t is not, how
ever. anything much in its purely
physical sense. Thus, a person with
large muscles and not very big wits
Is Of almost no value to society,
whereas a person who has exercised
both Is often Indispensable Exercises
for the wits are very difficult. There
is nothing to do 100 times. or so times.
1t is not something to which one can
give 20 minutes the first thing In the
morning and then go the rest Of the
day. Socrates, who was the Sandow
of mental exercise, kept his pupils at
1t pretty much Of the time. There is
one phase Of 1t which is especially
hard. This is the exercise of ones
rights. Unexercised rights are much
worse than unexercised muscles.
Thus, after voting, we are ordinarily
mentally stir and sore for several
days. This is because, unaccustomed
to exercising our rights, we strain
them. .
The secret Of it all is to exercise
your muscles a little, your wits a lit
tie and your rights a little. Az the
Greeks said, Nothing too much"
