SOUSE ON PERFUME MAY BE ONLY OPEN
 COURSE TO DRUNKS
And Then Again, New Prohibition Law May Exclude Such AIco-
 hOliC Beverages from State;
 Hair Tonic from Bear Grease.

Win milady of Arizona be com pelled when the prohibition amend ment goes into effect to perfume her person and dress with the fainty fragrant leaves of withered roses and violets? This is not a foolish ques. ticn, but one we'll worth asking in view of the fact that the average per fume contains a higher percentage of alcohol than the worst kill 'em quick" that was ever distilled This question is one which is agitating the druggists of the state, along with other phases of the law
 The amendment says that any in- toxicating liquors will be barred. Perfumery while not SO used. gen orally speaking, would prove, if taken internally highly intoxicating
 The average perfume of high grade contains from 93 to 95 per cent of alcohol, only enough of the essence of the flower to give the desired odor and hide that of the alcohol is con tained.
 Toilet waters contain from 50 to 75 per cent of alcohol and toilet wat. CT buns" may become popular.
 Florida water contains less, but there is stin jag in every bottle if taken internally.
 Bay rum contains 90 per cent or over of the stuff which makes De mon Rum" a curse.
 What in the world the Bald-headed man. or the man headed toward bald ness is to do is a question Practi- cally every hair tonic down through the list contains enough alcohol to pickle the hairless gent" were his hand to slip and the liquid course down his gullet instead of over his smooth and expansive brow.
 "Will you have benzine, kerosine or bears grease on your head today, sir?' will probably be the query of the barber as he runs through his list of sure cures for badness.
 No use to apply at the drug stores for liniments to rub the sprained wrist, for liniments come under the same heading. having a high percent age of alcohol
 The fact of the matter is, practi- cally every patent medicine has alco- hol in it in more or less degree, the few exceptions being preserved in glycerine, which, while a member of the alcohol family, is not classed as an intoxicant by the internal revenue department

DRANK FULL QUART OF WOOD ALCOHOL
 AND STILL LIVE
Two 0ld-Time Miners Are Get tlng Ready for a Dry State lheir Eyes Snapped Out But Didn't Pop 0ut-FeeIinq Fine.

To drink a quart bottle of who'd ai eohoi' 10 have their eyes almost non from their heads the next dav and then on the third day to feel finer lnan ever before in their lives. was the almost unbelievable experience of TWO old miners on the ranch of Char. ley Thomas. over the divide
 Thomas returned yesterday from the ranch bringing the news of the unus. ual eNperience. On a previous trin he had taken out the quart of wood alec. hol. He has four old-time miners at the ranch. When he arrived there this time he was shocked to see the bottle empty On inquiry two of the oId-timers told him the other two had drank the stuff
 Where are the bodies?" asked Thomas. knowing that wood alcohol is deadly poison nearly always pro- ducing blindness and usually death Why they're not dead" was the re- sponse, they're out there hunting for more"
 Sure enough, the old-timers were risky as pups. but their eyes were snapping suspiciously They felt a little queer, but at breakfast yester- day morning before Thomas left. the wood alcohol drinkers said they hadn't felt so good in years. When Thomas came to town he told drug gist about it and that worthy won't believe yet the men aren't dead, if it was wood alcohol they drank He thinks it was denamred alcohol. But Thomas bought it and says it was wood alcohol
 The constable thinks the old-umers were merely getting ready for dry state and were preparing their sys- tens for the flavoring extracts. hair tonic and yarnish that booze fighters will have to drink when the dry law goes into effect. As to why it didn't kill the men, Thomas merely laughed and said, Why. you cant kill an old. timer To a man who has mined 40 years and all that time drank mescal i1 Mexico and rotgut wbiskey along the border, a drink of wood alcohol Is just like drink of water to us"

 We cannot allow these women to Haunt themselves in the faces of in- nocent girls and decent women," said Mayor Adams yesterday "lt has not been an uncommon sight to see we'll dressed young men riding through the principal streets with these wom- en on their laps, and usually an the party drunk This must cease"
 "If anybody thinks these new rul- ings the city has made in regard to the restricted district are merely blun let him violate one and he will learn differently to his sorrow We will establish some new precedents i'm the way of heavy fines and long imprison- ments.
 However, we have no intention of aboHshing the district for it could merely be moved outside the city linn its and conducted in a more brazen manner than at present But we do intend to regulate it and we are going to do it."

DRASTIC LAWS FOR RESTRICTED AREA
 TO BE ENFORCED
All Male HabitueS Are Barred, ln-
 Cluding Piano Players; If Men Appear on Streets With These
 Women Both Will Be Arrested.

A movement to regulate the red light district and bring 1t under bet ter control has been started by the city. Yesterday Mayor Adams and Marshal Allison announced that all male habitues of the district would have to leave, and that failure to obey the order would mean arrest on the charge of yagrancy and as heavy a fine as the law allows and imprison ment also, if possible
 This new edict is directed at the men who play pianos in the various houses and those men who live off the earnings of the women. From now on no place will be allowed to have a male piano player as some have at present nor will any man be allowed to reside in the district Be fore arrests are made Marshal Allison will see that all the men affected are aware of the new ruling. lt would be unfair to arrest them without a warn ing, as their presence has been toler- ated in the past. But never again, say the Mayor and the chief and they have the council behind them
 Another new order which goes into effect today is that no man will be permitted to ride on the streets with woman from the restricted district. In he past this has been a frequent source of annoyance to officers and disgust to the public and the officials have decreed it must cease Not only

COL EDS
An up-to-date remedy for colds. That is what Peruna is. in successful use over so years.

Colds are caught in many ways: lily ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts; crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms; offices lily heated.
 A dose of Peruna at the right time, at the first symptom of cold, before the bones begin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, just a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin is gener- ally sufficient. But after the cold is once established with the above symptoms prominent, a bottle of Peruna, or maybe two, will be necessary.
 For several years I have been troubled with colds at each change of season. I took Peruna and have not been troubled with the slightest cold this entire season." Mir. Harry Fisher 1928 Mosher st., Balt- more. Md.
 'I givc the children peruna if they have a cold, and it always relieves fhem." Mrs. l. D. Hayes, 1887 Druid Hill Ave-, Baltimore, Md.

LIQUOR VOTER GUILTY.

When a man drinks something that
makes 1t impossible for his brain to
control his actions, he is trifiing with
his own and others safety. He Is
therefore guilty of criminal negll-
gence. When a man sells to another
anything that produces such effect he
also is guilty OF contributing to what
ever harm results. The man who
votes for the sale Of such poison
must bear his share Of responsibility
Drunkenness is no defense when &C.
cident or crime results from 1t, be-
cause every man who gets drunk
knows the danger. The fellow who
gets drunk invites trouble. He drinks
to satisfy an abnormal appetite. The
man who sells drink knows what are
It's effects. He knows that criminality
and accidents go with intoxication.
He doesn't care. His motive Is money.
The man who votes for saloons knows
all the harm they do. He doesn't
care, either. He Is as guilty as the
other two. He may escape punish
ment here, for human law will not
reach him; but he cannot escape the
eternal Justice of God.-Urichsyille

UNITED STATES DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE
Bureau of Plant Industry. Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration
Work. Extracts From
Annual Report 1913

The Arkansas state Office of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work of the Bureau of Plant Industry
United State Department of Agricul-
ture, has just finished compiling its
annual report to the Department of
the results accomplished in Arkan-
sas for the year 1913. The facts set
out in this report show that Won
derful progress has been made in the
development of agricultural conditions
all over the State and the possibilities
for the future indicated by this De-
monstration Work are astounding.
The organization for the Demon
stration Work in this state consists
of Mr. C. w. Watson, State Agent;
Mr.. w. J. Jernigan, Assistant State
Agent in charge of Boys and Girls
Club Work; Mr.. r. C. Davidson, Mr..
J. C. Barnett and Mr.. Harry f. kapp,
District Agents, each having charge
of twenty-five counties in the north
eastern, northwestern and southern
sections of the state respectively.
Under this supervising force there
were seventy two local agents in the
various counties who were in direct
contact with the farmers and con-
Quoted operations on the farms along
| the lines Of scientific agriculture pre-
scribed by the Department. OF the
| local agents, nine were negroes doing
work among the members of their
race in the counties heavily populated
| by negroes. The following figures
given do not include any of the Boys
and Girls Club Work or the work done
| by the negro agents. They pertain
entirely to results accomplished by
fifty local agents among the white
adult farmers of the state.
These fifty agents had 1,454 demon
strators in corn, 1920 demonstrators
| in cotton-a total of 2,974 farmers
whom they visited regularly and su-
pervised the growing of the crops.
These 1914 demonstrators had 49,
| 25S acres in corn and 25,9lO acres IN
cotton or total of AZ, 1913 acres, MAX
| ing the average size of the demonstra-
ton plats IA is acres per demonstra-
tor. In addition to the 2,974 demon
strators the local agents had on their
lists 10,407 co-operators, whom they
are not required to visit regularly but
who receive the Department lltera-
ture and advice from the agents.
Hence the Demonstration force was
in touch with 1881 farmers in our
state during the year 1918.
On the 1928 acres in corn under
Demonstration methods last year $780,
9Ol bushels were produced, an aver
age of 34h bushels per acre. On the
25.91O acres in cotton were produced
27.516,420 pounds of seed cotton, an
average of 1902 pounds per acre
These average yields of both corn and
cotton are larger than the averages
obtained under Demonstration meth
DDS last year, and this was accom-
plished in spite of an unusually Sc
we're and extended drought and a
heavy boil weevil infestation, indica-
ting that Demonstration methods are
effective in getting good results in the
face of favorable weather conditions
and insect depredations. Also, the
average yields were obtained from
every character of soil, upland and
bottom, varying in fertility from very

AN INTESESTING EXPERIMENT

AN INTESESTING EXPERIMENT
An exchange says:
Twelve boys, who, measured by var
CONS moral standards, have been pro-
nounced the worst among nine thou
aond who sought the "honor" have
hoon sent to the Last Chance Boys
Club" near Reno, New, where an eff
fort will be made to make valuable
,;t;zens of them. Each of these boys
i rated at more than eighty-seven per
cent bad; and of the dozen, seven are
Americans, three Hungarians, one Jew
and one Italian. Among the support
ers of the reform experiment are Jack
london and Upton Sinclair, and the
Mace selected for the work of making
over these boys is a ranch twenty
seven miles from Reno, New. The men
who have worked out reform plan
saw that they do not believe in any
thing of police nature in dealing
with boys. They will give their plan
several years trial and, if successful,
will start the greatest bad-boy re-
rlamation project ever known"
Every community owes it to the
bows of that community to study and
try to solve the problems peculiar to
The boys life. This community is no
Exception to the rule. The meetings
that are being held at the Presbyter-
Ian Church are worthy of attendance
and the cooperation of the people of
the community should be had in TAX
ing such steps as seem necessary to
the betterment of the condition of our
bows. 1t not only means something
