A friend writes Of his inab,,,tv
to enjoy life because Of HIS d.
gestive troubles.
This friend has been alwsv.
most self-indulgent; he has taken
stimulants to give him an appe-
tite. and spiced and savorv dishes
to satiate the appetite. And now
ne is paying the penalty.
Here is a recipe for a simple
method of home cure: yet 1t is
doubtful If this slave to his an.
petite will have the strength Of
character to put it to the test
Fast wholly for two DAYS.
drinking a glass Of hot water IN
the morning and a glass Of mod
erately cold water (not iced,
every hour.
The fast will not be difficult
Many people have pursued their
usual avocations during longer
fasts, and felt no weakness or
other annoyance.
The third morning substitute a
glass of half and half hot milk
and water. And during the day
drink three more glasses.
The fourth day take two raw
eggs, and drink the hot milk and
water at intervals.
The fifth day drink two quarts
of the milk, and take the raw
eggs If there is desire for more
nourishment.
The sixth day repeat the diet.
and on the seventh all physical
ills will be memories unless there
is a more serious condition which
needs a three or four weeks con-
tinuance of milk diet. In that
case it Is well to go into a milk
sanitarium.

XXYHOS this old fellow that begs for a bed?

Don't be deceived by his shaking white head;
How do we know he is hungry and cold7

We haven't time now, there Is too much to do;
Tell him that we will attend to his
When we find out II his story is true!
WHO'S the old woman that's next In the line?
Her children starving, she'll tell u.s. no doubt.
Too sick to work-same familiar old whine
Maybe she Is, but we've got find out!
Looks well enough, though a little bit pale

II VERY individual would be
benefited by fasting one
day out Of each seven.
If we believed that the COM
mand to labor six days and rest
the seventh was given to the di-
gestive organs as well as to the
limbs and brain, the world would
contain fewer invalids.
If we understood the command,
Thou shalt have no other gods
before Me-" applied to the appe-
tites, as well as to the religious
ideals, much misery might be
saved us.
Scores OF people place stimu-
lants and foods so prominently in
the foreground that God Is hid
den from view.

OLD Home week
COST Will Be $1,000
Committee Will Meet Next
Week TO Conclude Its
Business
THANKING PUBLIC
FOR THEIR INTEREST

with the close Of Old Home Week
the committee having charge Of last
weeks affairs, is sending out letters
10 those organizations from out OF
town and others, thanking them for
their help In making the weeks cele-
bration a success. The general COM
mittee will meet on Tuesday night
October o. when the business OF
the committee will be finished. It is
thought that the cost of the celebra-
ton will be about $1,000.
While this amount is larger than
the cost of the previous celebration
the city will not have to bear the en-
tire cost. Several companies have
contributed towards the success OF
the affair in a financial way and then
the city secured more than 800 from
the sale of permits to those selling
various articles. The city was TO re-
ceive 10 per cent. from the proceeds
of the carnival held at Washington
Heights, but owing to the bad weather
the attendance was small. AS the city
had to bear certain expenses in con-
nection with the carnival. they will
receive little money from that source
Colonel Slower, chairman of the
committee, is being highly praised for
the smOothness with which every
thing was conducted and the thor
oughness Of the organization Of the
celebration. It was due to his ability
largely. that the plans we're so we'll
prepared and carried out.

M'DAN|fL MUST
 SERVE l5 YEARS

Little Rock, May 12.-The supreme court |, yesterday affirmed the convic- tion of George Mcdaniel, who was given l5-year sentence in the Scar cy circuit court for the killing of liar ry Brown.
 According to the testimony, McDan- iel had been drinking and went to Ar genta in company with an Indian by the name of Cloud to secure some whiskey.
 When he went back to Beebe that night he and Cloud were joined by Brown, who was the two marshal. They left Cloud at his tent and start ed for the home of Brown to spent the night. Brown was found dead.

K. E. MILLER TALKS OF
 J. A. CHOATE'S CHARGES
WHITE COUNTY TOMINEE DOES NOT FEAR INDEPENDENT
 OPPOSITION.

Passing through Conway en route to Plumerville last night, R. E. Miller. Democratic nominee for representa- tive of White county, seemed to feel no uneasiness over the opposition to his election recently announced by J A. Choate. In a lengthy announce ment which was republished in the Log Cabin Democrat from the Searcy papers few weeks ago, Mir. Choate declared that Mr. Miller was not a citizen of White county and that his candidacy was promoted by the liquor interests and announced himself as ar independent candidate for representa- tive.
 All these matters were fought out before the primary election" said MT. Miller last night, land I received a plurality over the next highest candi date of 708, while MT. Choate, run- nlng at the same time for county judge, received only 800 votes out of over 4,200 cast. He is sore over his defeat and this accounts for his at tempt to defeat me after 1 received the nomination
 As to the charges preferred by his opponent, MT. Miller said he would make no formal answer until later. He denied, however, that he was in any way aligned with the liquor in- terests. As to the charge that he is not a citizen of White county, he said he was born and raised at Bald Knob in that county and had never lived outside of the county but two years, when he was teaching. After he had announced his candidacy, MT. Miller stated that he was offered the position of state manager of the Woodmen of the World, which necessitated his tenn porary residence in Little Rock. On the solicitation of his friends, how ever, he did not withdraw from the race after accepting this position, and was nominated by large plurality after making campaign of only one week
