THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

It is agreed that the building trades and the steel industry are the most reliable business barometers. When the building trades arc active and prosperous, general business conditions are bound to be good. The steel industry is an equally reliable index of general prosperity.
 It is now said that in Plttsburs and neighboring cities most of the steel plants are running to 15 per cent capacity as against less than 1O per cent capacity ten days ago and less than 50 per cent capacity in De- cember.
 The journal devoted to the building trades predict a renewal of building activity in the spring. as soon as weather permits. There has been nc cessation of building activity i'll this section, indicating this section has been almost untouched by the ad- versailles of the war.
 Perhaps the most reassuring slgt on the business horizon is the stead! rise in the price of cotton. The rls' has been slow but sure, and th' staple is now selling for more than cents.

downfall of our citizen who fell under the ban of the law and had his property fed D the fishes in the Arkansas river.
 1 would remind our friends that for many decades the state of Ar kansas legalized the sale of liquors. In accepting 2 part of his profits as license, the state has made itself his partner in business. The sudden change of front on the part of the state, has caught many of it's former partners with a stock of merchan- disc on hand and without pretense of fairness, has enacted laws author izing the destruction of his property.
 Granting that the sale and use of intoxicants is bad, l deny that, our fellow citizen is bad. He has prob ably given more to charity than any other single citizen. He himself is not drinker. His friends know that in all his business transactions he has been faithful and dependable.

"In digestion and practically all forms of stomach, trouble are, nine times out of ten,, due to acldity; therefore stomach %suYferers. should, whenever nossible avoid eating food chemical action in the stomach de- Velops aCidity. Unfortunately, such rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as we'll as those which are rich in glood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have baen obliged to exclude from their diet all starcny, sweet of fatty food, and are trying to keep up g miserable existence on gluten products, l would suggest that you should try meal of any food or fods which you may like, in moderate amount, taking immediately arter- wards teasponful of bisurated magnesia in little hot or cold water This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feel ing of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective ant l antacid known. It has no direct ac- tion on the stomach; but by neutra- lizlng the acidity of the food conte nts and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine.

LETTERS FROM PEOPLE
The City Finances.
Pine Bluff, March %, 191

Pine Bluf1, Mdfcn Ao, lJIo' To the Editor of the Graphic:
 The members of the City Beautiful club. at t.1e meeting held this morn ing, noted with deep regret the an nounccm,ent in the, Graphic to the ef- feet that the city's scrip has become SO worthless that the citys employees can not use it and our business men will not accept it even at a discount of p per cent.
 With about oDe-fifth of the city's revenue suddenly wiped out, no large untapped resources in sight, and the bond amendment declared unconstl- tutional, Pine Bluff seems to be rac- ing a grave crisis. Apparently the only solution of the problem thus far is the grave suggestion that We once again, for the hundredth time, make a resolute effort to soften the hearts of our financiers so that thy may grant us temporary relief by buying our valueless scrip. But has a munl- cipality a right to exist on charity; and if so, how long can it live on such a basis without losing every trace or self-respect?
 Does it not seem that the time has now come for our statesmen to turn an attentive ear to earnest advice emanating from a patriotic and lntei- ligent source? It is over year since our society spent large sum to have our civic and financial condition diagnosed by an organization ac- knowledged throughout the world to be leading authority on municipal | vnt officials have net only stubbornly refused to study the interesting report of this survey, but some of them have per sstently misrepresented and rldlcul- ed the whole undertaking.
 But though the report is over a year old, recent developments have made it more than ever'a timely and useful public document. Steps arc being taken to get it's suggestions and recommendations before thS Citizens of Pine Bluff in the neal future. The object of this commun.- cation is to notify the public of this fact and to prepare all patriotic Pine BlUffians to give the report the at tention .t merits.
 After all, the progress and pros perity of our city is the concern of al its citizens and not merely of Its present or future officials. Not untl this simple truth is fully appreciated will Pine Bluff be the great cit, which we expect her to become. Tt bring about the realization of thi! fact is one of the great aims of oul OrEanizatiOn. We are confident tha a study of the municipal survey re port on the part of our follower zens will hasten the accomplishment of this purpose.

HE USE OF THE CHECK BOOK.

Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale university. whose views on politlcai economy arc perhaps as wei known as those of any other single lndl- vidual now living, says the extensive use of tho check system has con tributed a share in the high cost Of loving.
 Professor Fisher isn't specific as to how this is brought about. He claims the check book constitutes a'i imitation of credits. but this general itv doesn't get the curious very 1ar'
 The check book is used because II saves time and money It saves the price of money-orders, in the 1lrs' place, and it is quicker to manipulate than buying money-orders and dratts on out-of-town banks. Anything that saves time and money will get lnto general use.
 The check book may have some disadvantages, but they are nor visible with the naked eye and are not serious enough to discourage their use. And the fact that the stubs of a check book are an lnfalh- ble guide to expenditures made would seem to be an incentive to- ward thrift. Returned checks ITO" your bank also serve as the best kind oa receipts.
 Professor Irving Fisher undoubted- ly is wrong.

up in Investigations of corporate finances. 1t is the bulWark of cor poratiOns who assert that something done in the past is done, is in "the dead past" as Longfellow said, an! that rights obtained by innocent pur- chasers should be protected.
 This is only another way of say ing their own interests should Dc protected, because their own inter- ests are inextricably bound Up in the interests of buyers of watered stock.
 When the late J. P. Morgan said you cant unscramble eggs he must have had such condition in mind.
 The supposition, however, is based on false premise The more logical thought would be that persons buy ing thing are amenable to the doc- Urine of caveat emptor-"Let the buyer beware.'
 Buyers of watered stock had the privilege of investigating what they were buying, and if they did not eX- ercise that privilege, but purchased ill blind hope or expectation of max. ing a good deal, and it turned out differently, there is no reason why this fact should stand between fair rates and the public.
 In the United States thousands Of corporations must charge more for their products or service than they reasonably are worth because div;- dends are being paid on millions O. dollars of watered stocks.
 When holders of watered stocks arc hard hit by some governmental regulation, they have the financiers who "unloaded' on them to blamo, not the government.
