 PINE BLUFF ROAD
AnxOus to Get The Anderson and Saline RIlilrOad Extension
 MO This City.

Two letters were received from thu Chamber of Commerce yesterday, ondl from the mayor and the other from prominent merchant, and both ex press the greatest interest in the proposed extension of the Anderson and Saline Railroad, and state that Leola is the logical point at which to tap the Rock Island railroad, the primary object of the extension.
 The letter from Mayor Kennedy states that the citizens of Leola are willing and ready to go full length in having the road built to that town, and emphasizing the fact that the territory surrounding Leola is a farming region which is rightfully; Pine Bluff territory and the people are anxious to have direct connec- tion with Pine Bluff in order to do their shoppinp and marketing in this city.
 The communication from D. R. Phillips, of the firm of Phillips and Son, also sets forth the advantages of Lsola over any other town as the connection terminus and invites the packers of the project to come to Leola and inspect the situation.

Christ the Light and Life.

It is said that the sweetest side of any fruit is the side which grows toward the sun. There is no doubt that the sun has great deal to dc with the beauty and flavor of the fruits which are the delight of man.
 In this casual observation, as in so many facts from nature, rests beau tiful spiritual lesson for us all. What the sun is to the natural world, that, and much more. is Christ to the world of spiritual things. As the sun infiu. ences the fruits of the earth, giving them beauty and lusciousness. so Christ sheds an influence over the lives of many and gives them beauty of character and purity of heart. And as the sweetest side of fruit is the side toward the sun, so the best side of man is the side toward Christ,

MEDICINE USED IN RURAL DIS.
 TRICTS.

Over B percent of the population of the United States are said to live in rural districts remote from physi- clans or drug stores and they are obliged to depend upon proprietary medicines to very great extent.
 To the women in these homes, such as Lydia B. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound come as boon and blessing.
 For nearly forty yeals this splendid medicine, compounded from roots and herbs, has been relieving the women of this country from the worst forms of female ills. Merit alone could have stood such test.

DR. LOWE RAPS
 THE SETTLERS CITY PHYSICIAN WRITES THE GRAPHIC ABOUT CARELESS
 HABIT OF SETTING. CAR COMPANY ACTIVE Street Cars arc Cleaned Daily-Habit is Filthy and Spreads
 Diseases.

In communication to the Graphic yesterday, Dr. w. T. Lowe, city phy- sician and member of the staff of phy- sicians at the Florence Sanitarium, severely criticises persons who insist on expectorating in public places aE1 street cars and reviews the ill effect ; that result from the practice. His ad- vice should be taken by every person ill this city fer it will prevent the spread of many contagious diseases and aid the city officials and others in making Pine Bluff a healthy city. Dr. Lowe's letter follows:
 Editor Graphie:-I notice that the street car people have begun the practice of washing and scrubbins the walls and floors of their cars every night after which they are sprayed with an antiseptic solution in an effort to kill the germs of dis eases that are always found where people gather in large numbers.
 I think it is time. for the intelligent people and the people who know the danger of this nasty and filthy habit to unite witH the street car company in a determined and persistent effort to stop this dangerous and filthy habit. l think that the street car people should be comm nded in this effort to do their duty and provide a safe and sanitary conveyance for the travelling public It is not only the duty of every one. And this move on their part should stimulate the senii- ment of the public to use every means possible to put stop to the habit that our people have of splitting on street cars, in stores, on the strets, and in public places. The intelligent people should not only quit the habit them= selves but they should condemn the practice in the strongest terms pos sisle when other people are seen do- ing it.
 I do not think that anyone would be so cruel and thougntless as to want to convey tuberculosis, pneumonia, tonsilitis, bad colds, la grippe, meas les, diptheria or whooping cough, al. of which may be transmitted by this habit of splitting in public places, tc anyone else, yet this is done here II. Pine Bluff every day and nothing is thought of it.
 Why? It is because we do not think. The people who do not know the danger of the habit see otNer peo- pie who should know better doing tt and they think i. is all right ana no harm will come of it. The leading people 50 this and the other people follow their example. To say the least of the habit of splitting on the cars and other public places it is filthy, dangerous and inhuman and makes possible the spread of diseases .nat are absolutely preventable. In doing it we forget that old and true saying that, Mans inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn"

In the poultry world breeding one
variety as another, reap the same
amount of pleasure and get exactly the
same degree OF trouble from one breed
as another.
To perfect strain of fowls they
must be line bred; you must be pre-
pared to keep al one time at least
dozen pens of birds and your grounds
must be large enough to raise a num-
Der of birds each year from which to
select breeders for your 2 or Is hens
the following year. Enough young
birds must be raised each year from
each to insure that you will have sew
eral good specimens from each pen. All
of this young stock must be marked
and an exact record kept of each bird,
SO that in mating your pens you know
exactly what you are doing. Line
breeding is inbreeding, and of course
In inbreeding the strong and the weak
points of every bird and the pen from
which he came must be understood if
you would have best results. As be-
fore said. line breeding or inbreeding
is an absolute necessity in the perfect
ing of a strain, and yet in the hands
of the man keeping too many breeds
and trying to practice it, it takes but
few years for his stock to run out as
it and he has to resort to out crosses
to keep them up. His birds lose vigor,
show undecided cOlOring or brassiness

tributes all his troubles to inbreeding

productive Of failure Such is not the
case. Breeders of all classes of stock
resort to 1t to perfect their breeds, for
in no other way can desirable traits
be fixed in a breed.
The perquisites TO line breeding
are perfect health, freedom from all
deformity and the possession of the
qualities and markings the breeder
wishes to produce. If there is any
constitutional weakness or deformity,
his flock will soon show it and will
soon run out" If on the contrary,
there are none of these defects, ana
ne will by proper mating, management
and feeding maintain vigor and prop
er markings he will run less risk than
by the introduction of new blood. The
man, however. with two or more breeds
can not look to all of these details
and he must either resort to the intro
duction Of new blood or his sotck runs
out and should he continue a breeder
for a thousand years he could never
claim to be either the owner or pro-
Queer of a strain. Truth is, he is not a
breeder in the true sense of the word,
but simply poultry raiser.

this, our Ell Paso novices, when they
start little poultry plant in their

Fewer Breeds Desirable.
OF course a man on a farm or a
five or 10 acre tract with no ambition
to rise above mediocre in the poultry
world, can keep a plurality of breeds,
but he can depend on it that he will
never be quoted as authority on any
one breed, and it will be a long time
before any other breeder will advertise
to the world that he breeds his strain
of this or that breed. There is an
abundance of good in any breed and if
a man will choose his breed. give it
his entire attention, perfect it and
boost 1t he will reap about the same
financial results from one as another
and can become about as well known
