Frozen Food for Nerves,

Whereas once upon a time ices (although not ice) were considered un- suitable for invalids, some doctors have now decided that they supply a needed stimulant in cases of nerv- ous breakdown and have tonic virtues of their own in certain fever cases.
 But the frozen dainties should be carefully prepared and contain only the finest ingredients, and it should be impressed on the invalid that he or she should eat of the ice creams, etc, only very slowly, in small sips from the end of a teaspoon, and, need- less to say, with the express permis- sion of the physician.
 The most wholesome of drinks is grapefruit juice squeezed into aer- ated water and iced. Frozen eggnog and frozen custards have their vir- tues, but are not so palatable as cream ices, which likewise afford good deal of nourishment

MOORE-CALVERT BILL
 FAVORABLY CONSIDERED

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-The Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday af ternoon voted to report favorably the Moore Calvert bill to appropriate $50,- 900 to pay the fees for legal service7 rendered by Judge Joe M. Hill of Fort Smith as special counsel in the rate cases. It was shown that because of his victory in winning this case there is saved $1,5O0,000 a year in freight charges and $100O,0O0 in passenger charges annually, and that $50,000 is a very reasonable charge. The Com mittee also reported favorably the Adamson bill to establish municipal court in Little Rock and abolish the Justices of the peace by placing them on a salary of $25 year.

Battle of Alma.

Sixty years ago soldiers of Britain and France, fighting side by side, achieved one of the most brilliant vic tories in the annals of war. Never has the valiant fighting spirit of the British troops been better shown than when, on September 20, 1854, they waded through the River Alma, amidst a shower of bullets, fought their way up the preci3itous banks on the other side of the river and, hay ing burst through the dense under growth of vineyards drove back the Russians, who were led by Prince MensChikoff
 The British troops were led by Lord Raglan and the French by Marshal St. Arnaud Three thousand three hundred of the allies were killed and wounded, heavy loss when one con- siders that the British forces num- bered only about twenty-seven thou sand and the French thirty thousand.

IN WEST VIRGINIA.

TN WeSI VIhGiNIA.
 A passenger conductor of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad writes to Hon. Fred O. Blue, state tax com- missioner of West Virginia, as fol- lows: T was doubtful, as was every body else, as to the effect such law would have. 1 must confess that the immediate effect has been almost be- yond belief. We have now passed several pay days and Saturdays, and there has been absolutely no drinking worth mentioning, and where had to endure personal risk in fist encounters almost every week to secure order from some drunks, 1 now handle even larger crowds with comparative ease. The women and children are now trav- cling, partly on the money that was spent for booze and partly because they are not afraid to travel. The re- suits seem too good to last, but if all the officers of the law keep after it, see no reason why things shall not be even better as time goes on. This is a pretty unqualified indorsement for 8 railroad conductor who has been up against the world and a rough part of the world for 30 years, but feel that the changed conditions war rant it."
 The following was received from a large coal operator of the state: T never in my life saw such great improvement in the way of behavior and manly conduct as on the passenger train of the Cabin Creek branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio since whisky ceased to be a merchandising proposi- tion in our state. Further, l notice with great pleasure that large DOT tion of our men who used to go out to get whisky are now spending this time with their families or at the Y. M. c. A., and portion of the money which originally went for whisky is now going toward the entertainment of their families, which means untold pleasures for the children"
 Mir Blue concludes his report with this statement: Such letters from men in touch with the practical, every day life speak with more convincing power than anything l can say"

ACCIDENTS DUE TO LIQUOR.

Tt will not be long before the sa- loon will be as much separated from the industrial plant as it is now from the church. As matter of business we will have to furnish workmen bet ter entertainment than saloons do. We also will have to pay in cash to prevent men from going to saloons to convert their checks into currency. Sixty per cent of industrial accidents in the United States are due to li- quor."-L. R.

A BLESSING TO LABOR.

An authority on the labor question makes this statement:
 The wiping out of the liquor traffic will throw two thousand millions of dollars annually into the legitimate channels of trade and industry. This would take the entire olsput of every factory now in existence and necessi- tate the building of new factories. It would give employment to every idle person at increased wages. The bene- fits thus accruing to labor would far exceed the demands that labor is mak- ing of capital if all these demands were granted today"

ASKS FOR EXTENSION
 ON PAYMENT OF TAXES
Clay County Representative Would Pass Bill Allowing Citizens that County Until Nov. to Pay
 Taxes.-PetitiOns Received

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-Much time in the House Thursday afternoon was devoted to arguments on a bill by Mr. Brawner of Clay County to ex- tend the time for the payment of taxes in that county from April 10 to Nov. 1. MT. Griffin of Pulaski opposed the bill because it had not been properly advertised as required of local bills, and moved that it be indefinitely post poned, which failed. Gray of lnde- pendence and Ellis of Fulton offered an amendment to include the whole State, and the bill with amendment was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
 Earlier in the session a resolution was offered by MT. Findley of Craig head county to request the governor to issue his proclamation to extend tax paying time till Nov. 1, and this went to the Committee on Ways and Means. Many members have received petitions from constituents for relief of this nature. Some of the opposi- tion is based upon the statement that an extension of taxes would work a hardship on the State Treasury. One of the most striking petitions was that received by MT. Shaver from citizens of Union Hill, Jackson County, in part as follows: There are people in this neighborhood that are not able to buy bread for their families saying nothing about clothing.
 "There eEe children going bare- footed and men and women wearing old shoes that will hardly stay on their feet. We have made no corn to feed our stock on, and none for bread. There are people that will actually starve if they can't get help form somewhere. There is no work to get anything out of, we can't find work at any price for the people haven't got any money to pay for work Now if the General Assembly doubts these statements let them send a Commit tee and investigate. There IS not one man out of ten that can pay their taxes, and can't see any way to live much less pay taxes.
 Furthermore, the people can't possibly make a crop unless they get help. They have no corn or feed of any kind for their stock, and no seed to plant and no way to get it and of course things will gradually grow worse if we cant make a crop. We would be glad to have you to investi- gate our conditions; and to introduce a bill at once to relieve our distriss- ed condition, and to appropriate funds to enable the people to make crop.

BURIES THE DEVIL.

Abolishing the liquor traffic does not kill the devil; but it puts him under ground; it drives him into subways, cellars and hidden pipes. When you bury the. devil, boy has to hunt for him; when you license the devil, he hunts for the boy.-Clinton N. How ard.
