CHANGE IN COTTON
 BELT SCHEDULE
Texarkana Hopes to Be Made Head- quarters for the Train Crews
 Under New Time Gard.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 2.-When the changes in the schedule of the Cotton Belt trains become effective here March 1, it is not unlikely that it will be found necess sa1y lby conduc- tors and others of the train crews to make Texarkana their headquarters, because of the physical inability of making their runs out of other places without violating the eight hour law.
 This matter is now being given the consideration it deserves and Texark- ana people, especially the real estate man, are taking much interest in it. and are hoping it will be decided in favor of this city.
 Sc far as could be learned today, train No. 2, which now arrives at 8:45 9. m. will arrive at something like 10:45 a. m., while train No. 4, which leaves here at 7:15 will leave lit tie after p. m. instead.
 The complete time card is expected to be made public within the next few days. But ill the meantime the mem bers of the train crews are wondering if they will have to move their homes and headquarters to Texarkana or not.

 Cardui acts specifically on the weak sned womanly organs, strengthening the muscles and nerves, and building them up to health.
 It helps to refresh the worn-out ner- vous system and relieves the effects of overwork, both mental and physical.
 Fifty years successful use fully prove the merit of this purely vege- table, tonic remedy for women.

You remember Damon was willing to
be executed that Pythias might live.
But these old friends, man and wheat,
couldn't serve each other that way. If
one died the other could not live. Let
