Weather records for July were shat
tered last month by a series Of freak
changes In temperature. which
brought about a greater contrast OF
conditions than has been observed in
the last 20 years. Records for hot
and cold weather on given July days
were broken within week Of each
other, and only twice before has the
rainfall for July exceeded that of last
month. Most of the radical changes
have been asoribed to the winds. and
Il will take several weeks Of ordi-
nary weather to bring figures back to
normal
The rainfall during the month was
6.s7 inches, nearly four inches above
normal, and was the greatest precip-

HOLDS SUBMISSION
 CURES ALL DEFECTS
IN l. AND R. MEASURES
ATTY. GENERAL, HOWEVER CONSENTS TO STATES
 FIGHTING TWO ACTS.

Little Rock, July 28.-Attorney General Moose holds that if an act under the l. and R. be submitted to the people, and adopted by them, their adoption cures all defects, irregulari- ties or frauds in the manner of it's submission. It may of course be at tackled upon the constitutionality of it's provisions, but it cannot be ques- toned because of any alleged fault in it's submission. The record is closed on that subject.
 This question arose over a request of those who are opposing the in1tla- tion of the miners qualification act and the bank guaranty act, that At torney General Moose permit them to bring the suit for injunction in the name of the state. At first, the suits had been brought in the names of in- dviduals, and they asked that the name of the state might be substituted for such persons.
 "At first 1 hesitated about allow inging the use of the name of the state," said Attorney General Moose, "because I thought if the proceedings were not regular they could be test ed after the election as well as before. Then, again the state had already published the proposed acts which had already been published by the state at an expense of about $15,000, and l thought the people should have chance to vote on them. But after ample authorities had been submitted by Col. Ira D. Oglesby of Fort Smith for the mining operators and w. B. Smith of Little Rock for the bankers, I agreed to permit the use of the name of the state It is clear that the meth cd of submission, and the sufficiency of the petitions must be attacked be- fore the election or not at all. And certainly any considerable number of citizens, like the bankers or the min ing operators, are entitled to all prop CT aid in the protection of their inter ests"

MAYOR TO ENFORCE SANITARY MEASURE ORDINANCE 2O5 EFFECTIVE SEWER CONNECTION MEASURE MUST BE RIGIDLY CON-

Mayor J. Frank Jones stated today that the two ordinances recently pass ed by the city council to require sewer connections to be made under certain conditions will be rigidly enforced as soon as the property owners have had a reasonable opportunity to comply with it's provisions. One of the most important of these is the measure re- quiring that all drain pipes from bath tubs or other plumbing fixtures shall be connected with sewers instead of being allowed to drain in the streets. This ordinance was passed on June 10 and became effective July 10. Many have already complied with it's provisions and others have arrang- ed to have connections made.

EMERGENCY AID 10
 VETERANS HOME PROCLAMATION ISSUED
GOVERNOR HAYS SETS ASIDE S15.OOO TO RELIVE AN UR-
 GENT DEFICIENCY.

Little Rock, July 24.-It has been found necessary for Gov. Hays to is- sue proclamation declaring an emergency for the support of the Ar kansas Confederate home. Upon the representations made by the superin- tendent, c. P. Newton, and the state board of charitable institutions, the governor issued a proclamation dl- recting that the sum of $15,000 be set aside to bear the expenses of the home, until the converting of the leg islature, it being expressly under stood that this proclamation IS abso- lutely necessary"
 The legislature of 1913 appropriat- ed $30,000 for the years 1913 and 1914, for the current expenses of the institution, being exactly the same amount as appropriated two years be- fore when the average number of ln- mates was 20 less than for the pres ent period The amount was insuffi- cient even for that biennial period, and the board was forced to borrow SlO,UUU III 1SlZ TOT Iilt TStlSI pI tiiS fund, which lasted until the legisla- tured passed a deficiency measure and took up the loan, April 1, 1913, the act carrying 21,000. In writing about it, Supt. Newton says:
 "You are fully aware that we can not operate the institution without some relief for this fund. You may take whatever action to relieve 1t you may deem best,
 Tn transmitting the letter to Gov. Hays, the board says;
 "This seems to be a case of dire ne cessity and of history repeating itself, and we respectfully request you to come to the aid of these grand old history-makers and authorize this board to incur obligations aggregat- ing $15,OOO for the purpose of pro viding for their necessary comforts up until the convening of the next general assembly"

NEED NOT FEAR FOR CANAL.
Qualifications to Guard the Great Wa terway Through Panama Will Be
 Made Impregnable

Having invested nearly $375, 1000 000s in the canal, the United States is in- tent upon safeguarding that tremen-. dous outlay against the possibility of damage through foreign war Fortiti- cation of the canal has been under taken purely as an insurance matter. It is sought to make it impossible in time of war for any enemy to take possession of the waterway or to dam age it to such an extent that the ships of the United States could not use it at will.
 Guns of 14 and 16-inch caliber will be placed at forts guarding both theI Pacific and Atlantic entrances, com manding radius of 15 miles. Incl forts at the Pacific entrance are con- ! structed on three islands -in PanamaI Bay. at the very beginning of thsI canal, Flamenco, Perico and Naos. l There are huge masses of volcanicl rock, behind which, safe from theI fire of any ship, no matter how pow. erful, the forts stand. The great | Mirafores locks are seven miles in- land from the forts, and no gun at they present time is powerful enough to send a shell the 22 miles intervening | between the outside of the zone oft fire from the forts, and those locks' which control the canal. Even with the marvels of modern gunnery, it. would be as difficult to place shell, even if it could be thrown that far; as for rifleman to hit a lead penci. .. a distance of 2,000 yards.-Popular' &echanics

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PACE

There seems to be a great number of cases of anthrax among cattle in all parts of the state The last report comes from Phillips county, where over 20 head have been lost. It IS of the greatest importance that all pre- ventative methods should be used so that the disease can be controlled as much as is possible.
 The well animals should be moved from the barns or yards containing the sick ones, and not allowed to graze where the sick animals became infected. All stables should be thor oughly disinfected. The animals that die should be burned or buried deep and quicklime spread over them. The disease has been known to break out from grazing in fields where an ami mai had been buried as long as three years before. 1t is best to burn the dead animals. If they are buried a fence should be built around the body and the surface of the ground should be burned for several years in order to kill out the spores that make their way to the surface. The disposition of the dead animals is of the greatest importance. Be sure to keep the rest of the stock away from the place where the infected animals have been grazing.
 Dr. R. M. Cow, the state veterin- arian, reports numbers of cases that he has handled. It is evident that there are numbers of localities in the state infected. In Louisiana it is re- ported among people. In our state it seems to be limited to cattle. How ever, all warm-blooded animals may have anthrax.
 To date the disease has been recog- nized by discharges of blood from the nose. One farmer writes: "Bloat up very quick after death; blood-water runs from nostrils; swelling of throat, and die in very short time. We have lost 20 head of cattle and one horse in two weeks" Sometimes the animal becomes suddenly i'll, staggers and falls and dies in few minutes. There may be bloody discharge from the nose and mouth. The animal may be- come suddenly restless, paw the air, run to and fro, below and rear in the air.
 Use all of the preventative methods named above by all means if your herd is affected. Veterinarians have an inoculation that is short-time preventative and strengthens the re- sistance of the animal against the dis ease. It is of the gravest importance that the dead animals be destroyed.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

BRINKLEY HAS TROUBLE
 WITH SEWER SYSTEM

From Tuesdays Daily.
 Brinkley is having serious trouble with its recently-installed sewer sys- tenn and the commissioners of the dis trict are up against it," according to Contractor Joseph McCoppin, who returned yesterday afternoon from a short trip to that place and Claren- don. The construction of the system has been completed for several weeks, but it has never yet been possible for it to be used, as water will not flow through the mains. The cause of the stoppage has not been discovered, but it is feared that the soft quicksand underlying the soil has caused the sewer lines to settle out of grade.
 MT. McCoppin has the contract for the trench cutting for a waterworks and sewer system being installed at Clarendon. The city is putting in six miles of sewers and seven miles of water mains.

60 WHERE YOU PLEASE
 FAT WHAT YOU PLEASE

That is what you can do Ii you take Dodson's Liver Tone. Many people know the danger of calomel, yet they take it because they know of nothing better. Other people are not afraid of calomel, because they do not un- derstand what a dangerous drug It IS. Recause it has never hurt them, they believe it never will.
 No one needs to take dangerous cal omel (which is just another form or mercury).
 The Greeson Drug Go. sells Dod- sons Liver Tone for fifty cents bot tie and guarantee that it takes the place of calomel.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting vegetable remedy that hvens up the liver without causing any re- striction of habit or diet. It has none of the many bad fter-effects of calo- mel and is safe for children as well as grown-ups.
 You don't run a single risk when vou try Dodson's Liver Tone, because if you aren't entirely satisfied all you need to do is go right back to where you bought it and have your money cheerfully refunded to you with a smile. Isn't that fair? (adVD
