Pinklets VIII Clear
the Complexion

Pinklets, the new laxative pills, do not
wear out their effect before accomplish
ing their work of correcting constipation.
You have heard it said so often of other
laxatiyes that they were fine at the start
but that they have no effect now. Pink
lets do not lose their effect because they
do not stimulate the bowels to oyer-exer-
ton. They assist nature SO gently that
the action is regular and thorough, yet
without gripping. Pinklets put the liver,
stomach and bowels in harmonious, per-
feet working order. They are the laxa-
tive you should use to clear the COM
plexion, arouse the sluggish liver and
correct biliousness.
A short trial OF Pinklets will convince
you that they are the ideal laxative.
Every druggist can now supply you with
Pinklets at 20 cents per bottle,

ARKANSAS PRODUCES
$6,25S,726 IN MINERALS
State Leads in the Production of Alumni
mum Ore and of 0ilstone
Material.

Arkansas is first among the states in
the production of two minerals, bauxite
and novaculite, the former being the ore
Of aluminium and the latter the source
of the larger part of the oilstones pro-
duced in the United States. The prin-
cipal mineral product of the state, how
ever. is coal, the annual value Of which
constitutes over so per cent of the total.
The total value Of the mineral products
of Arkansas in 1912 was S6,25S, 726,
against $5,S64, s22 in 1911, according to
Edward w. Parker, of the United States
Geological Survey. The coal production
was 2,l00,sl9 short tons, valued at So
5S2,7s9, in 1912, against 2,l06,7s9 tons,
valued at s3,396,s49, in l0ll. The Goals
of Arkansas are generally of high grade,
particularly in the eastern part of the
field, where they approach anthracite in
character. The semi-anthraeite OF Ar
kansas is an excellent domestic fuel,
reaching markets as far north as Kansas
City. Mining conditions are exacting
however, and the cost OF labor high.
Moreover, competition with the petro.
leum and natural gas and with the more
cheaply mined coal from Illinois and Ala
bama on the east and with Colorado and
New Mexico coais on the west has kept
the coal.mining industry Of Arkansas
practically at standstill for the last
10 years.
Bauxite is second among the mineral
products of the state. In 1912 the stone
quarries of Arkansas furnished products
valued at $5l3,s44, exclusive OF novacp-
lite and of limestone burned for lime.
In 1911 the quarry products were val
ued at S526352. The elay-working in
dustries, while not highly developed, take
fourth place in the value of the output.
In 1912 the clay products of Arkansas,
about rs per cent of which consists of
common brick, were valued at S462,605,
and the sand and gravel pits yielded
S3e3, $3.50. The only saetalliferous prod
ucts of Arkansas are lead, zinc, and
manganiferous ores, and OF these, zinc
contributes more than 100000 to the
total value. Other commercial products
are fuller's earth, lime, mineral waters,
natural gas, phosphate rock, and slate.
Some diamonds are found in Pike coun-
ty.

NICARAGUA PLOT REVEALED.
Assassins Aimed To Stay President Diaz
and Blow UP Chamber.

Managua, Nicaragua, Nov, "details
of the plot to assassinate President Diaz
and his cabinet on Oct. 20 were laid bare
yesterday.
The assassins, in the pay of the Lib
eral party, were divided into three
groups. One group was told off to slay
the president while out driving in the
streets of Managua; second group was
aimed to kill the vice president and the
minister for foreign affairs, while third
was to hurl bombs among the assembled
deputies in the Chamber.
The accidental discovery of the plot
while final arrangements We're being
made for its execution, led to the arrest
of nearly all those connected with the
CHASTITY business.

OFF FOR VERMONT.
Lumber Concern Which Has Finished in
New York.

A fine illustration of the way the big
lumber companies sweep over forest re-
gions, and, having cut the timber, leave
the country to its fate, is shown in the
application before the upstate public
service commission by the Cranberry
lake railroad company to surrender its
charter and abandon its route.
This railroad is six miles long and
reaches from Benson's mines on the New
York Centrars line in st. Lawrence
county to Wanakena. Wanakena is a
village built up by the Rich lumber COM
pany 10 or dozen years ago. The COM
pany had tract of 1900 acres there,
and built a saw mill, houses for its en-
ployes, store and secured a post office
and an express Office. A church natural
ly followed and there is hotel and a
school at Wanakena. Now the company
has cleared its lumber tract, and wants
10 get out. 1t has secured another tract
in the mountains above Manchester, Vt,
has already taken down some houses of
its employees and shipped them to Yer
mont, where it proposes to skin another
great tract of trees, and dry up sources
of the Otter Creek and Battenkill river
as well as to disfgure the region about
a beautiful and favorite mountain re-
sort.
Naturally ii has no more use for its
Cranberry lake railroad and wants to 'es-
cape the responsibility for its operation
