 Discuss Plans.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 ngland.-Presiden N E. Reakley and Secretary J. T. Lipscomb of the Plum Bayou Levee Board have issued he following announcement of meet ng 10 ask government aid in improy- ing the Arkansas river:
 At the regular annual meeting of the Plum Bayou Levee District. at Pine Bluff. Ark, it was unanimously resolved that a call be issued to all the interests along the Arkansas river 10 meet in Little Rock, June 6, to dis. cuess the best method of obtaining recognition from Congress for the i'm provement of the Arkansas river.
 ''The board has expended $500, 900 protecting 270,000 acres of land in Pulaski, Lonoke and Jefferson coun- ties
 We notice with regret the abnor- nal high water of the Mississippi river and the amount of suffering to which the citizens are subjected, and while we feel secure from any floods that have ever been in the Arkansas river, we know that the present efficient condition of the leyees must be main tained at an additional expense to our people and we feel that it would be far easier for congress to assist us to do this than to provide a remedy foI us after a disaster The Arkansas river is one of the largest in the United states. and we are surprised to see in the allotment for rivers that it is barely mentioned-the appropria. tions are going to other streams in all parts of the country.
 United action on the part of all concerned we feel certain will bring good results"

cANADA'S PROSPERITY

The New York Times of March 23 ,ofo in an article dealing with Cana da's progress, says:
 At the present moment eight ship. ,oads of European immigrants are oaoat for Canada, while there are signs that the outward movement r5ieh is customary with us during ,obor troubles will be marked this vear. There is no such startling rec. ord of our loss to Canada. Our clti. ,eps quietly slip over the border in groups or trainloads, but their going Is not advertised.
 "There Is no mystery why Canada ,s the good thing the United States used to be. It Is because Canada is following in it's neighbor's footsteps that it Is repeating the fortunate ex- nerience which it's neighbor is envy ing even while deliberately turning .ts back on the teachings of the past. fortnight ago the Dominion budget speech reported the unprecedented surplus of 39000,000, and on Thurs day the Government passed through the Committee on Supply credits of s3S 900 GOO fer railways and canals. With this assistance the railways themselves are both enabled and con- psued to increase their facilities. Ac- cordingly We find q single road allot- ting ten millions for work of its own. Naturally the Canadian newspapers contain announcements calling for fifty thousand men for construction work. This influx is apart from those Americans who go with money in their pockets obtained by cashing in their high-priced American lands.
 "A St Paul dispatch says that with in e fortnight two thousand carloads of farm animals and machinery have passed toward Canada, the property of men who expect to pay for their farms with the first crop"

Best Business Creator.

As business creator, what is there better than advertising? Have you ever asked that question yourself? The millions that advertising has made for merchants are uncountable, yet there are business men who even now don't believe in advertising, just as there are people who still think 1t is safer and more convenient to travel in prairie schooner behind pair of slow oxen than in a Pullman palace car. Yet this type of business man is seldom rated in commercial rating books-Exchange

Mrs. Herbergcr, Who Would Not Consent to Go There, Finally
 Relieved At Home.

St. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. Mary Herher- ger, of this city. says: T was sick in bed for ten weeks, with womanly troubles, and lad four of the best doctors waiting on me
 Every one of them said I would have to 80 to the hospital and have an operation, but would not consent to that.
 l thought I would give Cardui a trial. When I began to take the first bottle. l could not turn over in bed, but had to be lifted.
 Before I finished the first bottle, my pains were leaving me, slowly, and soon 1 was out of bed and walking around.
 My pains have not come back, since. l weigh 150 lbs and feel fine. Cardui saved me from an operation. l am going to keep 1t in the house, for l would not be without it."
 Cardui's strengthening effects quick ly show themselves in many different ways. This is because the ingredi- ents, from which it is made. go to the source of the trouble. and by act ing specifically on the cause, relieve or cure and help bring back health and strength.
 In the past 50 years, more than million women have been benefited by Cardui. Just try it.

Genuine Maple Suqar.

There are few people outside the maple sugar making districts. says a writer in the Country Gentleman. who really know what the genuine article tastes like. The superior flavor thus spoken of is probably due in a de- gree to the same causes that make strawberries eaten off the vine and
 cherries consumed on the tree so de lectable. The writer quoted. however, puts some of the blame for the poor flavor of commercial maple sugar on the "wily wholesale dealer and mixer"

The lit tie fellow was under treatment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better be- came discouraged I dropped the doc tors treatment, and commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. and in few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks was almost healed. and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly bet ter. When he was about seven months old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
 During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in boils which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been great sufferer During the time of teething and from the time dropped the doctors treatment, used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else. and when two years old he was the picture of health His complexion was soft and beauti- ful, and his head mass of silky curls. had been afraid that he would never be well. and feel that l owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies" (Signed) Mrs. Mary w Ramsey, PA E.
