SURRIDCE BELIEVES U.
s. SHOULD 1AKtsPAR1

Little Rock, Aug. 11-Brigadier-
General w. X. Surridge of the Ar
kansas National Guard is one of the
'Arkansans who believes the time has
come for the United States to take a
hand in the Mexican situation, and if
the greasers will not behave, to adj
minister to them spanking and put
them to bed. General Surridge does
not believe in having play militia OF
the Arkansas Guard, and is of the opin-
ion that organization is ready to &C
into the field at any time the govern
ment desires it. He is ready even be-
fore that time, and has rendered his
services to President Woodrow vii
son, requesting that he be given an
hours notice, and asking that the no.
tice be given soon, as he is anxious TO
teach a lesson to some Obstreperous
actors on the other side of the Rio
Grande.

NO IMMEDIATE RELIEF
FROM HEAT PREDICTED

Washington, Aug. 11.-Tempera-
lures below normal are promised for
this week only to the northwestern
states and the Pacific slope.
THE distribution of atmospheric
pressure over the American continent
and the adjacent oceans" said the
Weather Bureaus weekly bulletin last
night, "is such as to indicate temper
atures below the normal during the
week in the northwestern states and
on the Pacific slope; high tempera-
lures the first half of the week in the
southern plains states and the lower
Mississippi valley, followed by lower
temperatures in these regions Thurs
day or Friday; warm weather during
the week in the gulf and south Allan
tic states and moderate temperature
the first half of the week in the Great
Lakes region, the upper Ohio valley
and the middle Atlantic and New En-
gland states will be followed by warm
tr temperature in these regions after
Wednesday.
1.-THE regions of drouth, the middle
Mississippi valley and the middle and
southern plains states temperatures
will continue high during the first
half week, while during the latter
half the weather in these districts will
become cooler with probability of
well distributed showers. The precip-
itation during the week will be fairly
well distributed.
There are no indications at pres
ent of a disturbance in the West In
dies"

FRIEDMAN "CURf"
MAY BE INJECTED
AT STATE SANITARIUM
PATIENTS MUST ACT OF OWN
ACCORD IF TUBERCULAR
SERUM is USED.

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-Unless they
act of their own accord, none of the
patients of the Arkansas tuberculosis
Sanatarium will be given the Fried
who are now in the state administer
ing the serum. This has been decided
by the board of trustees of the sana-
tarium, carefully being weighed by
that body before decision was
reached.
When the physicians came to Ar
kansas, announcing that the serum
would be injected into all who applied,
many patients of the sanatarium nat
urally expressed desire to take the
treatment. The board of trustees was
notified of this request, and held a
special meeting in Little Rock to go
fully into the matter.
When the decision of the board was
reached, DR.. Stewart, the head of the
state institution, informed the pa
tients that the treatment was not ap-
proved by the trustees, and without a
murmur, the patients accepted the
wishes of the trustees.
One of the trustees stated that the
situation was a delicate one, for if
there is merit in the alleged cure, it
would seem cruel on the part of the
directors to deny the patients the hope
of getting well.
The trustees went into the Fried
man cure in order to protect the pa
tients, and this influenced their final
action. 1t was pointed out that the
| United States government is more in
terested in this one disease, than all
others, and will be the first to recog-
nize a cure, when one comes, but the
government has frowned on the Fried
man cure and has advised those at
flicted with tuberculosis not to spend
their money upon it, consequently the
trustees thought they would be best
| in protecting the helpless patients at
the sanitorium by advising they ignore
lit for the present.
Soon after the decision from the

ORGANS OF TASTE NOR FOUND
Experiments Have Failed to Locate
Them In Most Species Of Birds
and Insects.

Many experiments have been made
In order to find out what and where
the organ of taste is in the lower Gre
alton. but It is easier to say where II
is not.
Crayfish and worms seem to have
very decided preferences in the mat
ter Of food, though no special taste
organ has yet been found. HOLSTERS
like decaying food. The crab is more
dainty In It's diet.
Snails and slugs show q decided
preference fCr certain kinds of food,
as garuen lovers know 70 their cost.
Peas and Cabodges. dahIjas and sun
flowers are great tavorites, but they
will not touch the white mustard.
Sore prefer animal food, especially
If rather high.
Spiders have only a slight sense Of
taste; flies soaked In kerosene seem
quite palatable to them, though one
species, the diadema, is somewhat
more particular, and refuses to touch
alcohol in any form whatever.
The proboscis of the fly and the
tongues of bees and ants are furnish
ed with numerous delicate hairs, set
in minute pits. These are, perhaps,
connected with the organ Of taste:
but, though the exact locality Of this
sense in insects is uncertain we know
that groups of cells in the tongues OF
animals, called taste bulbs, form in
part the ends Of the organ Of the high
er animals. These taste bulbs we're
discovered in 1867. Each one consists
OF two kinds of cells one set forming
an opening in which project from
five to ten Of the true taste cells
Though important, they are not ap
parently an essential part of the or
gan, for birds and reptiles have none:
but neither have they a keen sense Of
taste-except, perhaps. the parrot.

AMERICAN BAUXITE cos
ASSESSMENT TOO Low
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION HAS
RAISED CONCERNS MORE
THAN 100000.

Little Rock, Aug. 12.-Considerable
interest is being manifested in the as
sessment of the American Bauxite
Company, the Arkansas corporation
of the aluminium company of America,
which has been fixed by the county
assessors of Saline county at SAT ,OOO,-
900.
This company turned in an assess
ment of 100000 when the Arkansas
Tax Commission was first formed. By
agreement it was fixed at $500 ,000-
But year later it was made $685.
600 by the county judge. The Arkan-
sas Tax Commission worked with the
Board of Equalization Of Saline coun-
ty last year and had the property as
sessed at 100000. The county
judge reduced this to $500 900 and the
assessment was appealed to the circuit
court. 1t is now pending, with sue
cess apparently assured to the county.
The assessment of 100000 was
made without suggestion from the tax
commission. When the last assessment
was made the commission pesuaded
the company to list the valuable tracts
in its large holdings, but even this
did not divulge the value of the prop
erty.
The American Bauxite Company is.
the only concern in Arkansas which
has a reduction plant for bauxite ore.
1t owns thousands of acres in Saline
county, and has monopoly on the de-
posts of bauxite in the state. There
are several rich deposits it does not
own, but heavy royalty is paid on
this, it being mined by the company,
and it is upon this royalty that the
Tax Commission has its only base for
taxing the property.

HAS NEW CURE FOR OBESITY
English Physician Has Formulated
Theory Which Seems to Be
Founded on Fact.

Dr. Galisch, an English physician
in recommending a new treatment for
obesity, states a new fact. His treat,
ment is q dietary rs follows: In the
morning the patient takes a cup OF
tea, with buttered bread, and If he IL
too hungry to wait for luncheon he
takes an egg, with q small piece OF
bread and butter, at 10 O'Clock.
At / O'Clock the meal consists Of
meat, vegetables, salad and COM
pote. In the afternoon he takes cot
fee, with a little biscuit or white bread
with butter. In the evening he gets
simply q small piece OF bread and but
ter.
At the first breakfast and the mid.
day meal the amount taken must be
SUFFICIENT for the patient to leave the
table completely satisfied. For the
first two or three days the patient
feels very hungry in the evening, but
this quickly passes OF. and he soor
gets into the habit Of eating more al
alimentation being counteracted by
the exercise and work done during
the afternoon.
The whole idea Of the treatment IL
that It II the food taken IN the even
ing and followed by the repose OF
night which particularly contributes
to the formation Of Adipose tissue. DR.
Galisch's patients invariably lose oos
or two pounds Of week.

Hard Liquors IN Germany.

Germany is fast changing from 8
land of beer to a land Of brandy
though perhaps the brandy Is intended
for export; some unkind critics say
that much of 1t goes abroad disguised
as French cognac.
However that may be, the produc
tion of brandy distilled from wine
has in five years increased from 80,
900 gallons to 325,000
The number of distilleries has
grown only from 142 to 169. But tho
methods have improved SO that 1Ot
quarts of wine now yield nearly TWEEN
ty quarts of brandy instead of only
seventeen, as was the rule FIVE years
ago.

her future husband.

Davidson was brought from the
Carroll county Jail at Berryville to
Harrison Sunday. He has been con-
fined in Carroll county almost contin-
uously since his arrest for fear that
he would be lynched. The large force
Of deputies used in bringing him to
Harrison lends color to the belief that
he is still insecure from mob danger.
The death sentence in the Davis case
has never been appealed, and neither
has application for clemency been
made to the governor.
