Has Faith In Friedman Cure

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 29.-When
such men as Hugh w. Gates,
who has for many years been a
leading insurance man OF Ark
ansas, assumes charge of the
Friedman tuberculosis cure for
this state, it means that there is
much more merit to the alleged
cure than scientists and the
medical profession have lead the
people to believe.
When DIR. Friedman first came
to the United States he was met
with much opposition, though
the public at large was reluctant
to pass adverse criticism until
he had an opportunity to demon
strate his cure. Little has been
said in the past few months re-
garding the cure, and while the
people were as much interested
as ever in discovery which
would relieve the ravages of the
great White Plague, they had
almost forgotten it.
Now Mr.. Gates announces he
has made arrangements to have
treatments under the Friedman
system, given in Little Rock,
and public interest is again
aroused. Mr.. Gates sent his
brother, Lawrence, to New York
when DIR. Friedman first came
to this country. He received one
injection of the serum and
though he was bedridden at that
time, has shown marked i'm
provement since. Mr.. Gates al
so observed many other cases
and finally decided that there
was so much merit to the cure
that he would make the invest
ment necessary to relieve the
stricken people of his native
state.
"The Friedman cure, like all
other cures" says Mr.. Gates,
docs not cure all cases. | have
personally watched many of the
people treated and believe that
all have been benefited, though
many have spoiled their own
chance of recovery through re-
turning to work after they have
over-estimated their strength
due to the rapid Improvement
shown, and their desire to be
producers again after such
long idleness. There are a num-
Der of cases in Arkansas that
are checked"
1t is estimated that there are
100000 people in Arkansas who
are afflicted in some way with
tuberculosis, and if the cure
should prove of merit, in spite
of the fight that has been made
against it, it will be God send
to the stricken ones.

Travellers Tea.

When travelling there is great com fort in ones own cup of tea. For this poignant need of a traveller a charm ing little tea box of mahogany, con taining a small silver tea caddy and little tea ball. reproduced in miniature and teakettle, has been placed upon the market It is very simple in it's arrangement. compact and easy to pack and makes really practical gift
 There are many places in America, and in Europe also, where good tea is a luxury. and many an unsuspecting American woman is astonished when she pays her bill for what she con siders very simple repast She usu- ally finds that her cup of tea cost more than very elaborate dessert, and so the new idea is a great econo- my as we'll as d comfort when on the train or on the steamer.

HIS PERIOD OF ENJOYMENT
Farmer Surely Had Earned Rest, But He Waited Just a Little
 Bit Too Long.

Once there lived farmer who worked so hard he was too tired to go to church on Sunday, says Frank Tel ford in Farm and Preside. His hired men refused to stand for the first and last call to breakfast at 3:45 in the morning and left before the cad of the week. His wife milked the cows and hood the garden because help was so hard to keep. The farm CT voted against hard roads. and when he was elected to the school board hired for teacher young girl just out of high school, because she would take the job for $50 a month In short, he squeezed the dollars so hard the eagle screamed. He would steal acorns from blind pig.
 When the farmer was fifty he had half section of good black land in the corn belt and money in the bank. He moved to town to enjoy a hard earned rest But his stomach was SO tired of corn bread and bacon that it went on a strike and the farmer ate milk toast He could predict storm before the first cloud appeared. by the creaking of his joints, and he had to call for help to turn over in bed. One day his doctor said he had made enough money to buy a new touring car and the farmer died of heart dis ease

JEFF DAVIS SON
 DfNOUNCES CLARKE AS ENEMY OF HIS FATHER
WALLACE DAVIS ISSUES LET TER SHOWING PERFIDY OF
 SENIOR SENATOR.

Little Rock, March 16-The effort which is being made by Senator Clarke to ride into public favor on the memory of Senator Jeff Davis has proven abortive. His first election was due more to his sycophantic fol- lowing of Jeff Davis than to his own ability to. win the respect, let alone the votes, of the people Judge Kirby had scorned to make use of Senator Davis well-known opposition to Sen ator Clarke, to further his interests. until Senator Clarke's misrepresenta- tlons of the true situation forced him to take cognizance of it.
 Wallace Davis, son of the late sen ator, has issued pamphlet. in which he declares:
 Senator Clarke's ingratitude to my father has become a part of the political history of the state, and keenly did my father feel it.. My father often told me that Senator Clarke, in Washington, on all occa- sions, never lost an opportunity to in- dulge in unkind remarks about him to other members of the senate, and sought in every way to rob him of prestige in that body, and bitterly did my father resent it. My father al ways believed that Senator Clarke was at the bottom of the conspiracy that defeated him before our state convention in June, 1908, when he wanted to go as delegate at large to the National Convention at Denver All who attended that convention re- member with what intense satisfac- tion Senator Clarke went as a dele gate and left my father behind

NEED MEAT IN THEIR DIET
Scotch Specialists Make Assertion That 1t Should Be Supplied to Young Children.

There is a prevalent misconception that meat is not good for young chil- dren. Drs. X. Dingwel Fordyce and E. w. Scott Carmichael two famous Scotch specialists in the diseases of children, in an article on "Glandular Tuberculosis in Children" published In the Lancet. combat this old-fash- toned idea. They write:
 Constantly we see otherwise healthy children suffering from indi- gestion due to overfeeding with bread, porridge, potatoes, biscuits, cakes. sweets. Comparatively rarely do we see indigestion due to excessive meat eating. Most certainly large amount of meat in the diet of healthy young child is likely to cause digestive trou- ble. But the point is that an adequate supply of flesh meat and fish in the daily diet is not only beneficial, but is, as rule, necessary to health.
 During the first half of the sec ond year the child should get this ami nal food in the form of egg, bacon or fish. Thereafter he should be given daily at dinner little chicken, rab- bit or butchers meat We consider that deficiency of animal food-in the shape of meat fish and eggs-in the diet, along with the common co-exist- ent carbohydrate dyspepsia, is a wide spread and important underlying fac tor in the development of various in- factions, and is more particularly one of the primary causes of cervical glandular tuberculosis"

THE UTILITIES COMMISSION.

A number of newspapers over the state have recently gone on record as favoring a change in the makeup of the Arkansas Railroad Commission. as 1t is now constituted. In the last few days, particularly, has the com mission come in for it's share of news paper discussion. The comments seem to have been unpremeditated and spontaneous. Among those to which we refer are the Arkansas Gazette, the Arkansas Democrat, the Fort Smith Times-Record and the Log Cabin Democrat (Conway). All of these favor reorganization of the commission and an increase in the salary of the commissioners and making the office appointive rather than elective. So far, we seem to be alone in favoring the creation of a Public Utility Commission to perform the duties of both the railroad and tax commissions.-Fay Fayetteville Daily.
 Not quite right. The Times Rec ord does not oppose the creation of a Public Utility Commission. It hopes such commission may be created, with ample powers to protect the peo- pie from imposition and the corpora tions from demagogic attack. The Times Record is not greatly concern
 
 ed whether the utility commission takes over the railroad commissions duties or whether the railroad com mission is reformed along the lines suggested. The Daily's suggestion has the merit of simplifying and con- centrating the machinery-Ft Smith Times Record.
 Neither has the Fayetteville Daily stated the Log Cabin Democrats po- sition correctly. Our opinion is that of the mes-Record, that a utilities commission is greatly needed, and that the details of it's organization are not so important at present. We believe, however, that the Log Cabin Democrat was the first newspaper in Arkansas to suggest that, with neces- sary additions to its clerical force, the duties of utilities or public ser vice commission might be assumed by the present railroad commission.

Lead Balls Do Not Rebound.

Make two equal balls of lead, shoot them about on billiard table, and you will observe some actions that seem extraordinary. In the first place, if they strike each other head on they come to a dead stop; they do not re- bound, for lead has no elasticity.
 If they strike each other at an angle the result is what is called couple; ' the balls rotate around each other for part of one turn, and each moves of in straight line tangent to the circle in which they are moving
