SIAlE AID IS
 PR0VINC BENEFIT PROFESSOR TORREYSON TELLS OF WONDERFUL ADVAN-
 FACES IN ARKANSAS. GREAT PROGRESS IS SHOWN All Over Arkansas There Is Develop ing Great Educational
 Awakening.
GREAT PROGRESS IS SHOWN

According to the statement of B. w. Torreyson, professor of secondary education and secretary of the State Board of Education, state aid to hlgh schools is proving Of great benefit to Arkansas, although this plan has been introduced for the first time this school year.
 The last legislature authorized an apportionment of $50,000 year from
 the school funds to be applied by the State Board of Education in aiding
 high schools. provided the high schools
 met the requirements of the state board and opened their doors without tuition to all pupils of the respective
 counties and to all public school teach CTS.
 Aid has been granted this school
 year to eleven high schools to estab- fish normal training departments; to
 nineteen four-year schools, to twenty six three-year schools and to thirty
 eight two-year schools, ninety-four in all. The total enrolment in the state high schools at the close of the first
 term was 6,325, of which 1.174 were
 pupils from outside the districts and 3l5 are taking the normal training
 courses, preparatory to becoming teachers.
 There are sixty-two district nigh schools in addition to the ninety-four state high schools. The total high school enrolment last year was 6.4S2.
 whereas the enrolment for this year is more than one-third greater, and there are nearly as many pupils in the state high schools as attended all
 high schools last year.
 In order that the schools might
 meet the requirements $30,000 in
 property has been donated to the
 schools this school year and $24.O7O contributed to the school funds in money by individuals. Again, the schools have been thus stimulated to
 expend iR laboratory equipment and libraries S12,411.
 The tuition of the 1,114 outside pd-
 pills who are being high school ad- vantages would amount to more than
 the total portion of the state aid fund which would have come from the common school districts, thus giving
 to them without direct cost the ad-
 vantage of 3l5 persons professionally prepared for teaching.
 l State aid has within one term strengthened the entire school sys- | tenn. placed standard high schools
 in many small communities, brought high school advantages within the
 reach of nearly every pupil in the state, caused donations in money and ! property greater than the total l amount of the state aid apportioned, 1 the high school enrolment has been | increased one-third, fixed standard has thus been established for the first 1 time for the completion of the com
 mon school course and decided ad- vance has been made, through the normal departments in the aided high schools, ia solving the problem of supplying trained teachers for the ru 1 raI schools.

FROM DEPORT, TEXAS.

Editor Log Cabin Democart:
 Encolsed find 50 cents, for which please send me your paper for SIX months. I have been reader of your paper quite a while and do not feel right without it, as think it grand paper to read, and it tells all the news of my old home county, which l am at all times glad to hear from. l think your paper is the best country paper that l ever read.
 I will say few words for this country. This is fine state, a pretty farming country and I like to live here very we'll, but cannot go back on my old home state and say it is any better. If rain is any benefit to the farmers, think they will make good crops this year. Farmers here are getting on slowly with their crops, on account of so much rain. Most of them have all their corn planted, and some few acres of cotton.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much

The "change of life" is most critical period in a woman's ex- istence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason.
 When her system is in a de- ranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or con- gestion of some. organ. At this time, also, cancers. and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, vari- able appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly needed by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected.
 These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be needed in time.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.
