that the Hennessy bill means a loss TO

total amount of money heretofore dis

disputed $4,000 is to be deducted
from the taxes paid to the school

maintains that the municipalities and

increase in taxation was brought about
by the agitation of the municipalities
which believed the railroads were not
paying enough.

DnIck the ISL anu game COMMISSION
will be empowered, after receiving a
petition signed by five persons, to regu-
late the season for taking fish and
game. The house has passed the bill
by Senator Egan permitting quarterly
payment of taxes by property owners
Many at Excise Hearing.
Attracted by a number of hearings
a larger crowd was at the ~statehouse
this week than at any time during the
session. The hearing which developed
the most interest was on two bills de
signed to permit the sale of liquor
Sunday. One of the measures, by
Assemblyman Carroll of Hudson af-
fords widespread privilege for open
ing saloons after l o'clock Sunday
afternoons. The other measure by
Assemblyman Mulligan places rigid
restrictions on the sale of liquor In
legitimate hotels to bona fide guests
occupying rooms. Representatives of
the Anti-Saloon league and clergymen
from Atlantic City opposed the lib

of the lid" on Atlantic City had been
Of great benefit to the resort. Assem-
blyman Bredenek replied that If a
referendum were attached to the meas
ures the majority in favor of their en-
actment in his county would be over
whelming. He maintained that the
present law is violated and is farcical
Henry j. Hilfers, secretary of the

the bills ON the ground that Sunday is
the only day many workmen have to
enjoy themselves and that a glass of
beer will not destroy the morals of any
Of them. Former Senator J.. A. @.
johnson Of Bergen county was a sup
porter of the bills. He said New York
had a statute similar to that desired to
be passed here and that those who
crossed the river could get drink with
their meals. He maintained that as
much liquor is being sold in Atlantic
City as ever. The Rev. Birney H.
Hudson, pastor of the First Baptist
church there. questioned this assertion,
and the senator replied that he had
such experience at least. Mayor Will
liam Riddle of Atlantic City also ap-
peared for the bills, asserting that
members of the legislature were fire.

Clerk Gebhardt, former Hunterdon
senator, made an attack on the liquor
men and said this attempt was the
boldest they ever made. He expressed
the wish that the entire traffic be
driven out of the state and defed the
proponents of the bill to submit 1t to
a vote of the people. He said it would
be beaten by a vote of three to one.
Boxing Bill Passed.
With two votes to spare the house
passed the bill by Assemblyman Moore
to legalize boxing. The only objection
to 1t was that 1t carries a salary of
$500 for an athletic commissioner.
Moore explained that New York made
$4,000 from boxing licenses last year
and that many J~erseyites go there to
see fights when they should spend
their money at home.

FLOWER MAKES GOOD FOOD
Mahua, Indian Product, Has Been Found of Much Usefulness-Is
 Being Cultivated.

It is estimated that in the central provinces of india alone 100000 of the native people use the mahua flower as a regular article of food. Though found in a purely vii, state in many parts of India the value of the flowers and fruit has caused it to be brought under more or less cultivation. The economic value of the tree lies chiefly in its edible flowers and oil-yielding seeds. The flowers are eaten exten- siyely while fresh. but generally speaking they are dried thoroughly and cooked with rice and other grains Sometimes they are completely dried and reduced to a powder and iii this condition are cooked in round cakes and mixed with variety of foodstuffs. Mahua Is extremely sweet. and the ability to eat and digest it must be acquired. The art of distilling these flowers is very ancient one. For the manufacture of spirits the flowers when dried are sold to village distil- lers or to the government distilleries. The flowers are immersed in water for about four days; they are then fermented and thereafter distilled. If the distillation has been carefully car ried out the spirit thus produced is not unlike good Irish whisky. At first it has a strong, smoky and rather fetid flavor but age remedies this and converts it into quite palatable though strong drink. The method of distillation is similar to that pursued in all other countries, save that in In- dia it is less scientific and core spondingly more wasteful.

SUSTENANCE OF 4 LIFETIME
Aston ishinp Amount of Food Con sumed by Human Being During
 the Course of Yoars.

If you are of average weight, height and appetite. and live to be seventy. five. you will have eaten 54 tons of solid food and 53 tons of liquid. That is, about one thousand three hundred times your own weight.
 If you were to stack the bread you will have consumed in this number of years the pile would equal a fair-sized building. The amount of butter you will have used on this bread would come to a ton and a quarter If you are a lover of bacon and were to stretch that which you have eaten out in single slices, four miles would be the length. Five tons of fish and 12,. 900 eggs would stand to your credit, while the normal cheese eater would easily have consumed 400 pounds.
 The vegetables you will have eaten would fill a train three miles long. You will have consumed some 10000 pounds of sugar and 1,500 pounds of salt. If you are a smoker you will have used about half-ton of tobacco in pipes, and will have smoked a mil. lion cigarettes.

A Monument In AltkIrch.

One of the public monuments in Alt. kirch commentaries the deliveranoe or the town from an attempt to can. ture it made in 1875 by a troop of English freebooters.

AT the request of some of our read CTS who do not take the papers from the large cities, the Log Cabin Demo- crat today begins the publication of a brief summary of the daily develop ments of the European war. The linn itations of country newspaper are such that it cannot hope to publish the news of the world. The Log Cabin Democrat seeks to do what no metro politan newspaper can do, and that is to publish all the news of Conway and Faulkner county. Associated Press service is entirely beyond both the financial and mechanical ability of a newspaper in town of Conway's size, and we wish that every subscriber to this paper could also read paper like the Arkansas Gazette or the Mem phis Commercial Appeal and thereby keep posted upon the stupendous events of the European war. But those who cannot take such papers are doing right by taking their home paper first, and for their benefit we shall endeavor each day to summarize the principal occurrences of the grea, war

Effects Of Overeatino,

Overeating is assigned by Dr. E. E. Faber of Copenhagen as the real cause of much of the misery for which the uric acid diathesis" is usually held re- sponsible. From list of 2S3 corpu. lent patients he finds that chronic rheumatism. lumbago, vAricose veins and constipation are far more com. mon among the former, and that mor- tality from heart and kidney disease and apoplexy is also chiefly among the heavyweights. The effects of reduced diet have proved remarkable. Rheu- matiem. neuralgia. etc. have shown rapid improvement when the change has been persisted in to the extent of lessening weight, and chronic rheu- matism-though resisting such treat ment as drugs, hot baths and massage has been relieved permanently dur ing moderation. returning with any new excess. High blood pressure is lowered by the dieting. Tho superfiu- ous nesh is not the cause of the rheu- matism. etc. but both the extra weight and the attendant disorders seem to be due to the habit of overindulgence

COTTON QUOTATIONS"

There is a law on the Arkansas statute books making it crime for a circus to advertise anything that is not actually presented in its exhibi- ton. People usually expect to be fool ed when they go to a circus and they enjoy it, so that little or no attention is paid to the enforcement of this bit of legislation.
 A law along the same line, which would be of greater benefit to the peo- pie, would be one which would require the buyers in cotton marketing centers to pay the prices for cotton which are published in their daily quotations. For years, throughout the marketing season, the Little Rock Board of Trade has made a practice of quoting middling cotton at price usually about one cent pound aeove what is actually being paid. According to the quotations published yesterday, (Wed- nesday) Little Rock buyers were pay ing 6 3-4 cents for middiing cotton, Yet we doubt if the Board of Trade could show that 8 single bale of that class of cotton was cold yesterday ID Little Rock for 3-4 cents. and speak ing from reliable information the Log

RAINWATERS URGE
 DIVERSIFIED FARMING
MORRILTON BANKERS ADMON- ISH CUSTOMERS TO REDUCE
 COTTON ACREAGE.

Little Rock, Oct 15.-The Rainwa- ter Bank and Trust Co. of Morrilton has advised the State Bank Commis- sion of an active campaign being car ried on among the farmers to edu- cate them in diversified farming. This company is one of the most influential financial institutions on the Fort Smith road. Wood Rainwater is president, Cloudy Night Rainwater is vice presi- dent and Night Rainwater is secre- tary-treasruer.
 The bank is sending out thousands of notices to it's customers, contain ing the admonition, Lets all turn over a new leaf-work six days every week, cut cotton acreage one-half, and raise corn, peas, kaffir corn, winter turnips, hogs and cattle Further advice is given in the fol- lowing paragraphs:
 Regarding war and poor sale of cotton-it will continue one year or twenty; no one knows which.
 Regarding price of cotton-We do not know All we can say is pick it quick, before bad weather starts. We do not think you can hardly give away dusty dog cotton.
 Better gather your crops fast as possible and save everything waste anything.
 Corn will likely be worth s2 before this time next year

How to Take Your Own Photo,

Many schemes have been devised by persons wishing to photograph themselves. but the most unique scheme is by using clothespin and a fuse. This is done by taking . wood ciothespin and shaping one end so that-it grasps the bulb oi the shutter and the spring tends to press the bulb. The other ends are brought to- gether so as to release the bulb and are tied with string or thread. On this is put a fuse of some length. Peering through the camera and dis. corning the object by which you can focus yourself into the cameras eye you light the fuse. Then placing yourself in position the fuse gradually burns until 1t reaches the clothespin, which springs. pressing the bulb and taking the picture.

NEED ONLY DEFINITE RULES
Really Little Seems to Stand In the Way Of the Creation of . Unl-
 versal Language.

If an editor should print bad Eng lish he would lose his position, Many editors are using and printing bad methods of graphic presentation. but they hold their jobs just the same. The trouble at present is that there are no standards by which graphic presentations can be prepared in ac- cordance with definite rules so that their interpretation by the reader may be both rapid and accurate. It is cer- tain that there will evolve for meth ods of graphic presentation few use ful and definite rules which will cor respond with the rules of grammar for the spoken and written language. The rules of grammar for the English lan- guage are numerous as we'll as com plex, and there are about as many ex- captions as there are rules. Yet we all try to follow the rules in spite of their intricacies. The principles for a grammar of graphic presentation are so simple that remarkably small number of rules would be sufficient to give a universal language. It is interesting to note. also. that there are possibilities of the graphic presen- tation becoming an international lan- guage. like music, which is now writ ten by such standard methods that sheet music may be played in any country.-Engineering Magazine.

NO TRUTH IN OLD STORY
Oliver GoIdsmith's Dead Body Never in Danger of Being Seized by
 His Creditors.

More or less credence has always
 seemed to be given to the story that Goldsmiths debts disrupted the ar arrangements made for his funeral. His
 biographers have not been above dwelling on this unhappy report. Now comes Case and Comment with the
 legal side of it, and makes out what appears to be a clear case. A pubic
 funeral in Westminster abbey was de- signed, the pall-bearers had been se- lected from the distinguished circle to which Goldsmith belonged; and then
 the rapidly maturing arrangements came to a sudden halt The public
 funeral was given up without explana- tion. The burial took place simply, almost secretly, in the ground Of literary friends was present. This strange change in procedure has been explained by the statement that friends feared that creditors would in- terfere with the public funeral by
 seizing the body. right which 1t Is alleged the creditors had under the law at that time. This explanation has been reiterated until 1t is quite generally believed As a matter of fact the story is without foundation, because the law of England never gave right of this nature to cred itors. The story has also been quite industriously circulated about Richard Brinsley Sheridan. who likewise died heavily in debt. Whatever it was that changed the arrangements of public funera' for Oliver Goldsmith, 1t may be safely asserted as legal propo- sition that there was not any likeli- hood that the dead body would be seized by creditors Goldsmith was buried by his lawyer friends and neighbors within the boundaries of their own domain. He had lived his happiest days among them. and 1t was after all more fitting that he should lie down to his long rest in the midst of them. rather than in a garish and splendid tomb in Westminster abbey
