For several months the papers have
been filled with accounts OF war loans,
foreign exchange. Treasury notes. etc.
To the banker or millionaire the mean
ing OF all these is clear, but do you
know what they all mean?
And yet you should. because you
and the rest Of the folks who work
for the world must ultimately pay the
bills.
All real estate taxes, all personal
property taxes. and good part OF the
income taxes collected in every coun'
try are passed on. from one class TO
another. until they are ultimately paid
by the people who labor.
When the taxes on the house IN
which you live are increased. your
landlord adds 1t to your rent; when
the taxes on mortgages are increased,
the man Of whom you are borrowing
likewise Increases your rate OF inter
est: while the income taxes. which
are paid By corporations and others
engaged in active business, are sim
ply added to the price Of the gro
ceries, clothing. and other things
which you buy.
You ought TO get busy and know
what these financial terms mean and
10 have more to say about what is
going on. Clip this article and send
il to your friends on the other side IN
order that they also may see what Is
coming 10 them.
In the wars of the past. men have
been the principal item; but - the
present war machinery is the most
prominent item. The business OF
lighting during the past 50 years has
gone through the same change as has
the business of manufacturing stee.
rails. cotton cloth and shoes. Killing

Grain and Produce.
RY IosEPH 6. PRITcHARo.

CHICAGO. August 2.-The govern
ment Official grain report for August
VIII rot make its appearance until
next Monday, but B. ". Snow, the crop
expert, issued report for August To-
day, in which he places the spring
wheat crop at $50 100000 bushels, max.
ing total of 994,000.O00 bushels. MI
Snow SAYS that there has been rela.
lively little wheat threshed. but such
returns as are available indicate a
yield per acre Of III bushels. If later
threshings maintain this first show
ing the total winter wheat crop E1ll
reach $4,000. 900 bushels.
He states that YIELDS above pr<N us
expectatons have been found IN Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska. AMI
that these appear sufficient to oHsH
any losses In quantity resulting from
Continued wet weather. but that the
lowering of the quality is marked. The
sprinR wheat condition is placed at
95.4, which indicates crop Of 305,OOO''
900 bushels.
The condition is the highest on Au
Eust / in many years and is % above
the record of 1912. On the basis Of
the 1912 results. the present condition
would Indicate a spring wheat crop Of
337 100000 bushels. Thus 1t would
seem that for the first time billion.
busiiel wheat crop is in sight with a
reasonable margin TO spare.

It is generally agreed by ex- perts in this country and Flu rope that calomel has very violent effect on the system. This accounts for the familiar disagreeable feeling accom- panying a dose and the weak ened condition following it.
 Liv-ver-lax is a harmless veg etable compound, that is mild, but effective substitute for cal .omel. 1t has all the effective ness, but not the effect, of cal .omel. It's splendid value has brought it into such wide use that in some states it has al- most entirely replaced calo- mel.
 Just try Liv-ver-l2x once, and you'll never use calomel again. Insist on the genuine, bearing the likeness and signature of L. k. Grigsbv, which is guar Ianteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. For sale by Newark Drug Go.

DIET IS IMPORTANT
 IN PELLACRA CASES
Disease Spreading In Many Sections and State Officer Issues Statement

There is quite a serious out break of pellagra around Jonesboro and in other sections of Craighead county, accord ing to a report just issued from the office of Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health officer, at Little Rock.
 "Pellagra is due solely to an improper or unbalanced diet. '" said Dr. Garrison, i'll explain ing findings of investigations recently conducted by himself and pr. Joseph Goldberger, noted surgeon, with the United States public health service. The disease is non-communi- cable and there is no danger of taking it by contact with persons suffering from the dis ease. This conclusion is con- cured in by an emphatic statement by pr. Goldberger.
 ''The Arkansas Board of Health does not hold that it is communicable and the only re- striction concerning it is that children so affected shall not attend school, and this is done largely from a hygenie point of view.
 4Dr. Goldberger claims that his experiments tend to show that all that is necessary to bring about recovery of pei lagra Is to correct diet.
 @Dr. Goldberger says it is due to improper diet, but not necessarily to an improper diet of starchy foods. Of course diet of starchy foods could cause it just as we'll as any other unbalanced or improper diet, but starchy foods are not the only cause of pellagra." "
 Dr. Garrison advocates large quantities af fresh milk for pellagra patients, the milk to be fresh milk or buttermilk. Fresh peas, beans, eggs, meat, bread and butter, as the prin- cipal diet, is worthy of reccom- mendation according to Dr. Garrison. Vegetables and fruits should be administered from time to time.
 Many doctors and medicine companies from various sec tions of the country are ad- vertising they can cure the dis ease with medicine, but none has any treatment that is not known to the medical profes- sion, and the public, especially those suffering from pellagra. And that no physician or med icine company offers more than a curative remedy or pro- phvlactic measure, Is set forth in the bulletin issued by the public health service at Wash ington and written by Dr, Gold berger
 Some physicians seemingly have good results with one drag, while others claim they have no success with the same druc but are able to cure ptllaera with a still different drug. The experiences of the United States public health service and the Arkansas State board of health lead to the conclusion that a remedy that is beneficial to one may not be beneficial to another, but the entire medical proTessIon Is g. reed that a proper diet is essen- tial and good results will fol- low it's correction in almst ev- cry case if the diagnosis is made early, and no physician is successful in the treatment of many cases with the admin istrtion of any drug or drugs ulness the diet isc orrected.
 Copies of the pellagra bull letin may be obtained by ad- dressing Ruert Blue, Surgeon General, at Washington, D. C."

A GASTRONONIC BLUNDER.

Our friend, Josh Blevins, Is going
about these days with long and gloomy
face. There is potent reason for his
detection. At his residence on Danville
avenue he has been keeping on a shelf
N his pantry box of pills, and it has
been his habit for some time past to
swallow one of these pills every night
upon retiring. Now, while Mrs. Blew
ms was putting the pantry in order the
other day she quite inadvertently ex-
changed the pilbox for box of shoe but
tons Of similar size and appearance. The
pill box was placed on a different shelf
Josh, of course. was totally unaware
of this shifting of tina boxes and con-
tinued to take each night what he sup
posed was his fayorite pill, but which
was in reality shoe button. He act
ually took eleven Of these buttons be.
fore discovering his mistake. 1t was
then that a terrifying apprehension
suddenly seized upon the members Of
this worthy family Mrs. Blevins be
came hysterical, while Josh himself
was thrust forward toward the perlous
brink of a mental overthrow. He de-
clares that by pushing his open hand
slowly across the front Of his digester
he can distinctly feel the presence of
eleven little Jumps, These little Jumps
he is fully persuaded. represent the
exact position of the offending buttons.
Josh may be seen most any day now
creeping around town whooping hoarse-
ly and evidently preoeeupied in sus-
tanned attempt to figure out the ultim-
ate result of this sad gastronomic
bunder Aside. from offering Mr..
Blevins our sympathy and shedding for
him tear or two, we are at loss to
know what more to do, since we have
never in our lives taken any medicine
like that which has resulted in this
mans unhappy plight.
