because OF her inability To concentrate

 That tuberculosis is a serious prob lem among church congregations is evidenced by statistics which the Ma tional Association gathered last year. which show that 10 per cent of all deaths among church members are caused by tuberculosis. Based on these figures and on the mortality statistics of the Census Bureau, over 52,0OO of the 33,000,000 communicants in churches in the United States die from tuberculosis every year. This figure assumes that the death rate of 1.60 per 1000 population in the Registra- ton Area applies to all churchgoers, when, as matter of fact, the rate would probably be higher.

PECULIAR PRAYER TO COURT
Grror ot Stenographer Responsible for Few More Gray Hairs in
 Head of Lawyer.

"They say that a lawyer has been saved by his stenographer," said an attorney, at a recent lecture. That IS true, undoubtedly, because a law yer's stenographer, who is observing, gets many points of law out of her work.
 But there is another side to it that must not be overlooked, and that is tho mistakes that a lawyers stenog- rapher makes. The law terms are so technical that 1t is not within reason to expec, the stenographer to get ev. eryth:ng exactly right.
 One of the most amusing errors that l have ever heard of in connec, ton with stenographic errors, if may call 1t that, occurred in certain law office the other day. The case was a divorce action. in which the plaintiff alleged crue! and inhuman treatment.
 Plaintiff, being a woman with all the common law disabilities, prayed the court for temporary alimony and suit money. The prayer was dictated 70 the stenographer and she wrote it out and mailed it to the court.
 Shortly afterward. the lawyer chanced t., read copy and found to his horror that the stenographer had made the prayer one for alimony and soup mOney.>" --.a

Modest Appearing Man Proved He Had Right to criticise Youth ful Art Student.

An art student was copying one of Abbott S. Thayer's paintings at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art one day, when plainly dressed man who looked as if he might be a mechanic approached and, posting himself at the young mans elbow. watched him as he labored over his subject.
 You've got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye is too oblioue." remarked the man decidedly.
 The, student blinked angiily and the hand that wilded the brush trembled slightly. but he took no notice of the unsolicited criticism.
 There is too much yellow in your 1esh tint" continued the man.
 Still no reply from the student. who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow in the high light on the nose.
 Did you hear what l said ?" oues. tioned the man.
 Yes, l heard" responded the stu- dent wrathfully, turning and glaring at his modest looking critic. "What do you Know about it, anyway"

October 27 Is
 Tuberculosis Day,
National Observance to be Planned in 1OO,G0O Pulpits Consumption Causes 5O,OOO Church
 Deaths Annually. ..

Churches End religious societies, to the number of at least 100000, will be urged to give special attention to the prevention of tuberculosis on Sunday, October 27th, or on some day during the week preceding or the week following that date. This sea- son has been set apart and designat- as the Third National Tuberculosis Day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- culosis, which makes this announce ment today.
 Tuberculosis Day was originally set on April 18th, but was postponed because of conflict with Conserva- ton Sunday of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, which was held on that date. The observance of Tub erculosis Day in the Fall this year will be utilized by anti-tuberculosls workers not only for the general edu- cation of churchgoers on consumption, but also for the purpose of interesting them in the sale of Red Cross Christ mas Seals.
 Every one of the 600 and more anti tuberculosis associations allied with the National Association, will be urg- ed to promote Tuberculosis Day in their respective communities. While last year over 5O,O0O churches ob- served this occasion, it is expected this year that this number will be doubled. Millions of circulars and other forms of literature will be

TO ARKANSAS SHIPPERS

9ous attention is called to the cX- per.ence of shippers in past years with reference to shortage of cars during the fall and W nter months.
 The present indications are that thert will be q large crop to handle this tall and shortage of cars with all the :nconven:ence and loss Incident. thereto cannot be prevented without the cooperation of shippers and the carriers.
 If shippers do not lend their as- sistanCe by promptly load ntg and un- leading cars there is bound to be d shortage no matter how efficient may be the service given by the railway companies, and it is with the pur- pose of securing the cooperation of interested shippers that this circular is issued, and we respectfully recom- mend that the following rules be ob- served by shippers generally to the end that a large number of causes fer car shortage may be removed
 1.-Requests for cars should be made to the railway agent in writing.
 2.-Load cars as promptly as pos sible ard to the full capacity of cars orde ed.
 33.-Do not take advantage of the full free time allowed for loading and g,ve the railway company immediate net ce when cars are ready for re- lease.
 4.-Do not place orders for more cars thar absolutely required for leading.
 o.-Consignee should unload cars as promptly as possible and not take ad- vantage of all free time allowed for unloading.
 6.--Shippers should g..ve sposition of all ears as quickly as possible af- ner arrival at destination.
 7.-Do not use cars for storage whera it can be avoided.
 If the above suggtstiors are carried out the Commission fees that some thing will have been accomplished towards reduc 'ng the number of com plaints as to shortage of equipment wh oh always come with the fall months and will contribute 10 and greatly assist in making shipping conditions more satisfactory through out the State dur ng times when there is usually freight congestion and shortage of cars.

WHY I AM A
 BULL MOOSER
Colonel George w. Murphy, Former Democrat Says the Country is
 Going to the Devil.


 Little ock, Sept. 13.-Col. George w.. Murphy, of the Little Rock bar, has been announced to deliver Bull Moose address at Marked Tree Fr' day September 20. He will be unable to fill tn appointment, however, on ac- count of having to be ill court on that date. He may make some speeches later if he can find the time, although he says he has gctten beyond the speech-mak ng period of his political career.
 When asked why he had become a Bull Mooser, Col. Murphy said he had joined ehmovement because he com sidered t most pract'c cal system yet suggested for the handling of public auess.ons. He has always been prominent Democrat, hay ng served two terms as. Attorney-general, but he thinks, "ahe country is going to tn devil as fast as it can,' and that neither the Democrats nor the Re- publicans are doing anyth ng to stop it.
 Col. Murphy says that he has been most favorably impressed by Roose- velt's speeches and his Confession or Faith, and by the terms of the plat form adopted at Chicago. If he con- sidered the Progressives merely an off-shoot of the old Republican party he would have nothing to do with It, but he looks upon it as a new politl- cal movement that may not succeed this time but will have strong in- fluenca upon national affairs and be- come one of the dominant parties.
