Fran in the flesh. as she slipped along

that the cause Of much sleeplessness

Abbott was greatly disturbed. Why
should Fran be stealthily darling down

Abbott dived into its bowels, but when

CENTRAL GIRLS HAVE
 HALLOWEEN FEAST
SENIOR CLASS HOSTESSES AT
 ENJOYABLE COLLEGE ENTERTAINMENT.

From Satn r,iay's DaIfy.
 On Friday, October 31, the Senior Class of Central College held a Feast of the Nations," to which the students, teachers and friends of the class were invited. The entrance was banked with ferns and blooming plants, while the walls were festoon- ed with autumn leaves in all their glorious hues.
 The first country visited was Alas ka. On the walls of this representa- tive nook were numerous strings of cones filled with delicious ice cream, and the tables were banked with mounds of snow. Cream was served by Misses Alice Reynolds and Vestal Witt.
 We were then transported to Japan where Misses Doris Owen and Nannette Akin, becomingly attired in Japanese costumes, extended hospi tality to the travellers by serving tea and hot chocolate.
 Next we were conveyed to Mexico, and here found amusement in having our fortunes told by the famous palmist, Senorita Slcdge. After this we refreshed ourselves by partaking of the Mexican's favorite dish, hot tamales and chili, which was served by two very charming young Spanish girls. Senorita Johnson and Senorita White.
 At last we turned our weary steps homeward. Upon our arrival m America we found that the members of the Senior Domestic Science Class had prepared for us numerous varl- ety of cakes and pies and had also made jellies and preserves.
 Each and every one gave eXpres- sion as having enjoyed this trip to the fullest extent and returned home tired but happy.

Hookworms, Life Size.

The infection during the first week was light, but will probably increase as the work progresses. It IS well understood fact that where only a few cases are present in a neighbor- hood it is very easy to eradicate the disease from that section and the greater the number of persons exam ined the more nearly every case of the disease will be discovered.
 Literature concerning the work was distributed in large quantities.
 The dispensaly points to be visited this week are Providence, Nilonia, Enola, Greenbrier and Conway.
 The examination and treatment are both free Specimen containers may be obtained free at any of the drug stores in Conway at any time, or at any dispensary.

AN INCESSANT COUGH. Continued Dropping of Mueus.
 into my Throat.

severe cough is always a grave S,,ynntom It may not indicate or ganic disease of the lungs. Even though the cough is functional dis turbance it is of sufficient gravity to demand prompt attention.
 The dropping of mucus from the hack part of the nose into the throat indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes this goes on a long time before the patient pays any attention to it. It is stated on good authority that mu- CHS dropping into the throat in this way is apt to excite catarrh of the stomach. At any rate, the condition ought to be corrected as soon as pos sible.
 Mrs. Bourland of Frankston, Texas, found after using Peruna that not only did the incessant cough disap- pear. but the dropping of mucous into the throat had also ceased. Read what she says:
 "For twenty-th three years I was constant sufferer from chronic ca tarrh. I had a severe misery and burning in the top of my head. There was almost a continual dropping of mucus into my throat. which caused freauent expectoration. My entire system gradually became involved. and my condition grew worse. I had an incessant cough and frequent at tacks of bilious collie, from which it seemed could not recover. My bowels also became affected. causing alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
 4I tried many remedies, which gave only temporary relief, or no relief at all. at last tried Peruna. and in three days was relieved of the bowel derangement. After using five bottles I was entirely cured.
 .I most cheerfully recommend the use of Peruna to any one similarly afflicted"

cocks, the hookworm specialist, who was sent to this county by the Rocke- feller commission, says he finds the number of cases thus far compara- lively small only about six of those examined being found to be infected. pr. Jacocks held dispensaries at Providence, Vilonia, Enola and Greenbrier from Thursday to Friday and is holding one today in the Mar tin & Harton building in this city. A large number of people have visited the dispensary today and many ex- aminations have been made.
 Dr. Jacocks says that the small number Of cases of hookworm infec- tion found on the first round is not to be taken as an indication that the disease is not very prevalent. On later rounds, he states, after the pur- poses of the dispensaries become un- derstood, many suspected cases who do not appear the first time are
  visits being more for the purpose of explaining the nature of the disease and informing the people as to exam nations and treatments. The five places mentioned will be visited by Dr. Jacocks once each week for six weeks.
 Specimens of live hookworms just emerging from the larvae were shown to number of interested spectators by Dr. Jacocks today. These specl- mems were obtained at the dispensary at Greenbrier yesterday, and though invisible to the unaided eye, could readily be seen wriggling and moving about under the microscope.

BULLDOGS" WHIP
 "0Lt MISS" HAM
HENDRIX WINS 8-6 GAME
HENDRIX'S SUPERIOR AGGRES- SIVENESS PROVES DISAS-
 TROUS TO MISSISSIPPI.

Hendrix College football eleven trampled over the University of Mis- sissippi team yesterday by the score of to 6. The score is good repre- sentation of the closeness with which the game was played. Neither team had any material advantage over the other. Mississippi outweighed Hen- drix a few pounds, but this was sup planted by superior aggressiveness on the part of the Bulldogs.
 The game was called at $40 o'clock by Referee Dawson. After 13 min utes of severe scrimmaging Hendrix planted the pigskin on "Ole Miss !" eight-yard line. Line bucks by Me Cormack, Harton and Holmes gained seven yards. Harton, a Conway youth, was given the ball by Quarter back Legg, and with the assistance of 10 Hendrixians, carried the ball safe ly over the visitors goal line for the first touchdown of the afternoon. Harton attempted to kick goal follow ing the touchdown, but failed.
 The play that won for the Bulldogs was made during the third period. Hendrix had forced the ball to Mis- sissippi's 20-yard line. Mississippi attempted to punt out of danger, but Young, star left tackle for Hendrix, slipped through the line and blocked the kick, the ball falling behind the goal line. Evans of Mississippi fell upon the leather, the play counting a safety, making two points for Hen drix.
 It was not until the third period that "Ole Miss threatened to score. On several fake quarterback runs, plunges and end runs, the ball was placed on Hendrix's 17-yard line. On a short end run Evans carried the ball across the Bulldogs line. They failed at goal.
 During the fourth period the Mis- SlSSlpplanS were Tn possession or the ball the greater part of the time, and when time was called had the pigskin on HendriX's tive-yard line.
 The Hendrix students, jubilating over the victory, paraded through the business and residence streets of the city in night shirts until a late hour last night. The college band, combin- ed with the deafening yells of the students, kept every citizen in Con- yay awake during their festivities.

LET A FORTUNE SLIP
GROUND ON WHICH HELENA NOW STANDS ONCE SOLD
 FOR TAXES.

Helena, Nov. 1O.-An abstract of title recently prepared by the Walk CT Abstract Company of this city re- veals the fact that practically the en- tire business section and the larger part of the residence section of the city of Helena now stands on tract of land, embracing GAO acres, which was once sold for taxes and brought the sum of eight and three ($8.O3) cents. The sale occurred and the deed was executed November 10, 1920. It was recorded on the same day as a tax deed, issued by Hugh S~r1ll, sheriff and collector of Phillips e. nty, to James Scull, who had bid property in at a tax sale. The tract of land involved in the above deal extended from the rivers edge to line one mile west, and from Walker levee on the north (now the dividing line of the city from the old CT settlement) to Elm street on the south.
 The property was originally that or Patrick Cassidy, but was sold as part of the land then owned by Syi- nanus Phillips, for whom Philips county was named.
