CARD INDEX GOOD IN THE HOME

Do women make the most Of business
helps in household affairs? Take. for ex-
ample, the card index system. Business
men have found them invaluable In
many ways as systematizing In handy
and accessible form Information which,
to be Of the greatest Use, must be al
ways at hand.
rambling through ledgers and day books
to find out the name of a particular
man with whom he wishes to do busi-
ness. He simply turns to his card in
dex, looks up a certain card, and there
finds the particulars he requires. Or
suppose he has occasion to fix an ap-
pointment some time ahead. He does
not trust to memory, nor write down the
date on a slip of paper which will prob
ably get lost a couple Of days later. In
stead he enters Up the engagement on
his card index, and when the day ar
rfves his attention is drawn to the mat

appointment because his system is such
that he cannot forget II.

his wife: 20, am so sorry. It's Mel

send her a card. Now it's too late?
Yet she probably has birthday book

once a month. or whenever she thinks
Of it, With a card index system, how
ever modest, in daily use. 1t would have
been next to impossible for that mistake
TO happen
Last Christmas this same woman per-
haps racksd her brains trying to think
of the various gifts she sent cut the
year before, in order to prevent her
duplicating them. Here again the index
method would have been valuable, not
only by making II impossible for some
friend to remark, Whatever has made
her send me this again." but also by
solving the vexed question Of what to
give TO others. The index cards relating
to gifts would be full of happy sugges-
tions for the future as well as being
records of previous years.
The average woman trusts too largely
to her memory. She comes home after a
days shopping, tired out. and also vexed
The reason for the vexation is the one
thing needed has been forgotten in the
multiplicity Of matters that have at
tracted attention. The business man
cannot afford to trust to his memory.
His wife tries-and fails.
Just as the card index is suitable to all
departments of ones business. so is IT
applicable to most phases of home life.
It is invaluable in connection with the
library, where II prevents one doing
what is now SO easy in these days of
cheap editions-buying the same book
twice; and in the garden. where the
record OF things sown and grown is
worth a dozen catalogues.

USES OF BEETRooT.

Beetroots contain a large proportion of
potash salts and are consequently most
wholesome. There are several interest
ing ways of serving them, apart from
the usual salad and pickle form. To
cook beetroots they should first be soaked
in ukewarm water and all dirt removed.
Then put them In a steamer and let
them cook for two or three hours, ac-
cording to size. When done dip In cold

JUDGE COFFIN DIES
 AFTER LONG ILLNESS
WAS ONE OF ARKANSAS MOST
 DISTINGUISHED AND USEFUL CITIZENS.

Pine Bluff, Jan. 12.-Judge Charles Coffin, Il years old, candidate for United States senator, and mayor of Bateville, Ark, died at the Florence sanitarium in this city last night at $50 o'clock, after several weeks illness of uraemia. At his bedside were his brother, James P. Coffin, of Batesville, and members of the Orto family of this city, relatives. The funeral will be held in Pine Bluff Tuesday morning from the home of Dr. /. Orto, on Laurel street. pr. J. l. Norris, pastor of the First Pres byterian church, will officiate.
 Judge Coffin's death, while sudden, was not wholly unexpected. His con- dition the last few days had created alarm. Saturday he was taken from Dr. Orto's home to the Florence San itarium for treatment. At that time it was said that his condition was grave, and instead of responding to careful medical aid, he grew worse and the end came suddenly.
 The death of Judge Coffin removes from Arkansas one of it's most distin- guished and useful citizens. Ills was a gentleman of the southern type and his career was one of usefulness and honor. Two brothers survive, James P. Coffin of Batesville and Hector Cof- fin of Knoxville, Tenn. His only sis ter, Mrs. z. Orto of this city, died in 1900. He was never married.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

While there IS much truth in the familiar statement that we already have too many laws and too many off eers in this state, the next general as- sembly of Arkansas will meet a real need if it will create a public service commission similar to those of that name already organizing in many of the states.
 The public service commission should be endowed with the same jur- isdiction over public utilities of all kinds as the present railroad commits sion has over railroads and express companies. It might, in fact, be found advisable simply to enlarge the pow CTS of the railroad commission itself to meet this need. The commission should have supervisory powers over all electric light, water, gas, street railway, telegraph and telephone, and possibly fire insurance companies and corporations operating .n the state. It should be empowered to fix maximum rates for service rom all such pub- lie utilities, to lower rates where they are found to be unreasonable and to require such corporations to improve their services where they are found to be inadequate or unsatisfactory.
 Provision should be made for the investigation by such commission of, for instance, a city's water system, for the purpose of ascertaining wheth- CT the supply is adequate, healthful and pure; whether sufficient fire protection is afforded, whether there is unjust discrimination between con- sumers, or whether the rates charged are reasonable. And, after making such an investigation, the commission should be given authority to require such improvements in the service or modification in the rates as it adjudg- ed necessary. Of course it should have the same jurisdiction over all other classes of public service corporations,

At The Theatres
THE GRAND.

How the world progresses and the boys of the present take the place of the men of the past, is realistically portrayed in the stirring drama, "The Next Generation,' which will be fea- tured at the Grand tonight. It is the story of Vincent Strong, the greatest ship designer living, who becomes in- sanely jealous when his apprentice shows signs of becoming his rival. Strong designs a great ship, and when almost ready to be launched, Carl, his apprentice, discovers a serious flaw in the construction. He tells Strong of his discovery, but is repulsed for his pains. The ship is built as plan- ned, and is sunk in mid-ocean, the de- signer and hundreds of passengers go- ing down with it.
 "The Man of Him." Lubin drama will also be shown tonight.

and it would probably be wise for it also to have supervision of fire insur- ance rates.
 There are probably few towns in the state that have not felt the need of such a tribunal to settle disputes arising between consumers and public utilities. Little Rock needed it last summer when muddy water was being supplied to it's citizens. In Russell vile recently there was long battle between the citizens and the corpora tion supplying electricity and water to the city over rates which the com plainants declared to be exhorbitant. Here at home, we should have been glad to lay the matter of increasing local telephone rates before state commission. These are few of many instances where such a commission should have been of great service.
 That the state through a commis- sion has the right to fix what it con- siders reasonable rates for railroads has within the past year been settled by the United States supreme court 1 It would certainly seem to follow that the state has an equal right to fix rates for other public service corpora tions.
 The need for public service con- mission being evident and the power to establish it matter of little doubt, it is difficult to see any reason why the legislature should not organize it.
