JUDGE HILL WILL
 NOT ENTER RACE FOR SENATORIAL TOCA JURIST DECLARES STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN WOULD ENDAN-
 GER HIS HEALTH.

Fort Smith, Jan. 5.-Judge Joseph M. Hill of this city will not be a can didate for the United States senate. He made the announcement yesterday afternoon. While Judge Hill has a host of friends here and in all parts of the state who would be delighted to support him, the announcement does not come altogether as sur prise to them as they have felt for should be in the prime of his career.
 Judge Hills formal announcement of his position in the present cam paign was made Saturday afternoon, when he gave out the following state ment:
 Tt is we'll known that for months 1 have received solicitations to become a candidate for the United States sen- ate To all friends I have stated that campaign longer than three months was prohibitive to me, and that would determine my course by the first of the year.
 "I have taken counsel with friends over the state and find some diversity of opinion, principally due to the late ness of entering the contest, but the great weight of opinion is that this is a great opportunity for me and that should avail myself of it. My own opinion is that it would be necessary in order to make a winning campaign i to make a thorough canvass of the state Nothing less would be justice to my friends or myself. This would require speaking at least once day. usually oftener, for >the next three months and being exposed to all sorts and conditions of weather and travel some time that he could not enter the race at this late date and win without an exceedingly strenuous campaign. The attention that has been attracted : to Judge Hill in this campaign will tcause him to be regarded as a possible 6nlGdnC Tn the next race, anu WilllC that is long way off, that campaign will not be regarded as certain until Judge Hill has made an announce ment of his intentions. Judge Hill is still a young man and at that time at the worst season of the year. "I had hoped that different cam paign was possible. l do not feel that would be justified to endanger my restored health to such strain.
 "The senate is a great forum and offers career that l would like and it is a great temptation to me, in view of so much proffered support, to offer for it, but for the reason given, l do not feel at liberty to undertake it.
 My heart is full of gratitude. to the many friends who have interested themselves in me-"

SCHOOL DRESS REFORM.

A movement for simple dressing for
school girls has been started by the
citizens of Dallas, and it is move
ment that should not only be taken up
but put into force in every city in the
country. There is no question but
that being unable to dress as well as
her more fortunate schoolmates has
caused many girls to leave school, and
If not this has been responsible for
many hours of embarrassment and a
condition under which no child could
make satisfactory progress.
Children are not slow to notice these
things, and the child who is not finely
dressed is snubbed and instead of find
ing pleasure in her school life, it is
one of agony. Little progress is made
and as soon as she reaches the age
where she can demand her way in such
matters the child leaves school. School
children should be dressed in uni
forms, the material to be selected by
teachers or agreed on by the teachers
and the majority of the parents, and
should be inexpensive and every child
school should be forced to
wear them.

WHAT SCOUTING Did FOR BOBBY.

(By Tom C. Davis, Little Rock, Ark
Little Bobby was sissy" mamma:
/ little boy"
Big sisters "Sushine," uncle's pet
and grandma's precious toy"
But daddy fused and stormed about
and said it wasn't right
To pamper him up all day long and
cuddle him at night.
He wanted him to be BOY and not
look like girl,
With Sissy" clothes and all such
things and hair all in curl
Dad wanted Bobby to be a Scout, but
mamma hald a fit.
And never would with dad agree, no,
not little bit.
Her boy a Scout? No, never! She
never would consent
To have him go out hiking and sleep
out in a tent.
A bug might bite her precious, or else
some horrid bear
Would chew him up and swallow him,
her little boy so fair.
Then, too, the Scouts might tease him
and jostle him about.
Because he was SO delicate and they
SO very stout,
And how could her baby boy eat such
horrid fare
AS bacon, eggs, potatoes and the stuff
they ate out there?
But Bobby's papa was a man who
sometimes had his way
And made up his mind his son should
join the Scouts one Saturday,
He took him down to the Scout Mas
ter to join Troop Number One
That was many months ago-and now
behold that son!
His cheeks are red as apples. his eyes
are clear and bright.
The bears have never chewed on him,
no, not single bite
He's tough lis that the reason?) and
hardy, well and strong.
Every Saturday they hike" and
Bob" always goes along. -.
He's Bobby" now no longer, the boys
all call him Bob"
In Trailing and all scoutcraft he's
right there on the job.
And now If you would have your boy
healthy, manly kid,
just let him join the B. s. o. A.. as
"Bobby's" papa did.

BATH OF OATMEAL.

If the skin is rough and irritated by
heat, try the oatmeal bath. Make a
number of cheesecloth bags, four in
ches square. and fill them loosely with
the following mixture:
Five pounds of oatmeal, one pound
of Florentine orris root (powdered),
one pound of almond meal, half-pound
CASTLE soap, scraped fine as powder.
This makes large quantity. but is
cheapest when made in these proper
lions. One of these bags thrown into
the warm plunge bath is most COM
forting and makes the skin soft and
white.

YOUNG BIT HuMANE.

According to story of Ray Com
stock. very humane little boy,
brought up in the traditions Of the S.
P. C. A, rose up with wild yell one
day and his hand at his back. what s
the matter, Johnny" Oh, I've been
sitting on hornet, and I'm afraid I've
hurt the poor thing!"
This reminds me of the little girl
similarly trained, who went to see a
moving picture show in which some
early Christian martyrs were thrown
to lions in the Roman arena. When
the little girl reached home her father
asked her if her sympathies had been
aroused by the spectacle she had wit
messed. Yes dad" she answered.
There was one poor lion that didn't
have any Christian to eat" Evening

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

To have dumplings fluffy and light,
keep the pot boiling steadily from the
time they are dropped in.
Peas and spinach are much better
color If cooked uncovered.
If music sheets are sewed along the
folded edge with a sewing machine
they will last much longer and one
does not have to look for lost pages.
If gas stove is wiped off daily with
a cloth dampened with coal oil it will
be kept bright and clean. OF course
the stove should be absolutely cold
when the wiping is done, and the cloth
should be only damp, not wet.

Anna Mays eyes opened wide. Why
mother" she cried, you're darning."
Yes" mother agreed. But see!"
She held mended stocking close be-
side the woven paper mat. Anna May
could see that the thread that mother
used was woven in and out across the

paper slips were woven; the tiny
black squares showed in mothers pat

squares showed in the paper mat.
