EASY RELIEF
 FROM CONSTIPATION
The Remedy that Replaces Calomel- Causes No Restriction

There are none of the bad af- ter-effects of calomel to Dodson's Li- yer Tone and no danger of salvation.
 For attacks of constipation or bil- iousness one or two spoonfuls of this mild, pleasant tasting vegetable liquid are enough and Hesterly Drug Store gives personal guarantee every bottle will do all that is claimed for it. Money back in any case where it fails.
 Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 50 cents for a large bottle. Remember the name because there are any num- Der of remidies. sold in imitation of Dodson claims. Some of them have names very similar to Dodson's Liver Tone-and are in same color pack age. These limitations are not guar anteed and will be very harmful. Go to Hesterly Drug Store and you will surely get the genuine. Advt.

MEAT FOOD ANIMALS

National Packers Declare Farmers Must Turn Attention to Stock
 RaiSing-IIint for the South.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The responsi- bility of averting a future meat famine was put up to small farmers by speakers at the eighth annual convention of the American Meat Packers Association yesterday. All the speakers agreed that if the de- crease in meat production of the last ten years is not stopped the question of the meat supply for the people of the United States will be most serious. Among the remedies suggested by the speakers were:
 Every small farmer should raise at least two beef steers year to offset the decreased production of the great ranches of the West.
 The remaining ranges should be cut up in farms to put all farmers on an equal footing.
 Development of the hills of New England with their bountiful springs and prevailing shade as a beef producing country.
 Substitution of corn for cotton in the southern states and conse- quent development of the cattle and hog production.

WAS DISASTROUS FIRE
Burning Building for a Time Threatens Entire South Side
 Loss S2,000.

A disastrous cOnflagratiOn was nar- rowly averted Tuesday night when the livery and wagon yard on South Mena street belonging to Staley & Mckenzie, was burned to the ground.
 The fire occurred about l1:15 o'clock, and only the effective work of the fire department and the vol unteer services of the spectators prevented spread of the flames.
 Flames were carried across the street to the Dickson wagon yard, and that building caught fire in several places, but was immediately extinguished. The store belonging to J. F. Averitt, across the street, was several times threatened.
 Sparks and pieces of burning wood were carried as far as five blocks, and watchers stationed upon the roofs of the buildings in the neighborhood succeeded in smoth- ering incipient blazes. The lack of ulSl WllluS dJ lut lliilC OA CliO lllC aided the flrefighters in controlling the flames, yet for a short time it looked as though the entire South side was doomed.
 Several head of horses and some wagons were in the building, but all were saved.
 The loss is placed at 5000, and was partly covered by Si,000 in- surance.
 The business was recently sold to W. w. Staley and John Mckenzie by E. c. Beard. MT. Staley was in Waters Tuesday night, but returned after receiving a phone notifying him of the fire. He states they will immediately re- build. J. w. Gift has been man. aging the business for Messrs. Sta ley and Mckenzie.
 Four sections of hose belonging to the fire department were de- before they could be re- from between the buildings.
 The origin of the fire is un- known.

MORE ROAD WORK
Road District No. 3 Will Build d Model Highway to Ouachita
 Bridge.

Road District No. will build a six-mile stretch of highway which those living along the route claim will be a model one.
 So far S575 in cash and labor for the work has been subscribed, and those interested say the amount will be doubled if necessary. The road will extend from Mena to the Qua chita bridge, and will cover a dis lance of six miles.
 J. H. MuXen is the oVerseer of the district and has with him R. P. Gregg, a Dupont Powder Company agricultural plaster who is remov- ing all stumps and Instructions preparatory to grading and drag ging.
 All those living along the route are enthusiastic in producing roadway that will be substantial, and promise after the completion to keep it in the best condition.
 One of the farmers interested in the project suggested that those on the highway take care of the road that passes by their property, and that the names of those who are supposed to take care of the road have their names painted on sign posts at their strech of the road, so that proper credit can be given for the good or bad condition of the road in the future.

NEW ANGLE GIVEN
 WHITE SLAVE LAW
Federal Judge John C. Pollock of Wichita, KaS., Says "the COmmer- cial Features Must Be PrOved'
 Reversal of Diggs Ruling.

Wichita, Kas, Sept 23-An in- depreciation of the Mann white slave act by Federal Judge John c. Pol lock that seemed at variance with that of Federal Judge Van Meet of San Francisco, in the Maury Diggs and F. Drew Caminetti trials, caused Lee Baker of Peabody, Kas., who was arraigned here today on a white slavery charge to change his plea from guilty to not guilty.
 Judge Pollock said the Mann act applied only to commercial features of the interstate transportation of women.
 Baker, through his attorney, had pleaded guilty when the judge asked:
 Do you base this plea on the in depreciation of the law in the Diggs case?"
 Bakers attorney replied that he did and said he had expected the same ruling in this case.
 Under the law, as 1 construe it, the judge said, the commercial feature must be proved. It was not the aim of the Congress to prevent the personal escapades of any man, If the government cannot prove this man took the girl to another state for a commercial purpose I shall instruct the jury to acquit him. The jurisdiction of the gov ernment in cases of this kind is based on the commercial laws"

Three Crews Will Tackle Six-MiIe Stretch on Red Bird Route This Side of WOmble-A Govern
 ment Proposition.

W. B. Barton, who is boosting for Good Roads, and especially for one between Mena and WOmble over the Red Bird route, left Mena Wednesday for a point on that line from six to twelve miles this side of Womble, where it is proposed to put forth a special effort on Thurs day and Friday of this week. This place covers a stretch of approxi- mately six miles in Montgomery county where the present road is to be changed or abandoned in favor of shorter and more direct route over which an entirely new road is now blazed out.
 Mr. Barton states that early Thursday morning three crews will begin two-day effort on this new road, together with stump puller, which is to clear the road of stumpS. MT. Barton will have charge of one of the crews.
 Mr. Barton is in correspondence with H. p. Lyman of Ft. Smith, and other parties regarding a road from that place to Womble, and he hopes to have that road intersect the road he is working on at Red Bird, and thus connect direct with both Wom- ble and Mena. The promoters of this enterprise claim that if a first class earth road can be made, the national government can be pre- vailed upon to complete it as standard pike and roadway.

PEOPLE ARE WARNED
 AGAINST FOOD PADS
Department of Agriculture Advises tO Eat What You Want When You Want It"-0rdinary Fare
 Is the Best.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Beware of freak diets and of fakers calling themselves food experts; eat what you want when you feel like it, giv- ing attention to cleanliness and wholesome cooking. This is the of ficial advice of the department of agriculture in a warning to the pub lie, issued as a result of an investi- gation just finished by government specialists into the operations of self-styled experts in dietetics."
 Some of the advocates of freak diets are sincere, but are them selves deluded,' says the warning. "Others are fakers who seek to make monetary gain by advising pe- culiar system of diet. Neither class can offer trustworthy advice. In most of the recommendations of these self-established experts there is hardly a shadow of reason, though they may seem plausible. One of their methods of reasoning is to use isolated and often unrelat- ed facts of science as evidence that their peculiar system is of value. They completely ignore statements in current historical and scientific literature which could negative their contentious.
 scientific Advice" Is Folk Lore.
 Much of the supposed scientific advice now being sold for price is really little more than folk lore. A great many of the statements which are used as arguments have been traced by the government spe- cialists and found to come from works on diet written so long ago as to be no longer considered of value except to the student of the history of dietetics."
 The departments statement dis cusses the fallacy of enzymes and particular chemical matter" de- claring that the ordinary wholesome American diet furnishes the body with what is needed to sustain it and the fad for whole grain cereals and the like is useless. Raw food that is clean and free from contami- nation is all right if anybody wants to eat it, the specialists say.
 Ordinary Fare the Healthiest.
 The truth of the matter is, how ever," the statement adds, that mans chances of health are best when he eats, with moderation, diet made up of clean, wholesome, foods, well prepared in the usual way. Proper cooking steri- lizes foods.
 If the deductions of many food faddists accepted as facts were real lv operative it would be difficult to explain how the human race had
