Baby'S Happiness
Depends on Health

Cross, fretful babies usually need
a laxative to make them comfort
able. and comfort begets happi-
ness. Constipation is the cause Of
much discomfort. Mothers should
watch closely the condition OF
their children's bowels ana see
that they are regular.
A mild. pleasant tasting laxative
such as DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pep
sin. is ideal for children. because of
its natural composition and gentle
action. and because it contains no
opiate. narcotic or other harmful
habit-forming drug. DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is sold by
druggists everywhere. A teaspoon
full at bedtime will bring easy, GER

TO DISCUSS Salaries

Deputies and clerks in the County
Court House offices are to hold a
meeting to take action regarding the
salaries to be paid them There are
three deputies at present who are
paid S125 a month. While the law
provides for a salary of 800 a month.
Two other clerks are receiving 500 a
month instead of S75 a month as
provided by law. other deputies and
clerks in the offices feel that definite
conclusion should be reached so that
the salaries will be equalized. Il is
suggested that each deputy receive
$l.25 month and that the clerks
ought TO have an increase also.

The early crop Of Irish potatoes III
Arkansas is especially subject to ffult
troubles that can be kept out largely
by spraying. These are the early

and the Colorado potato beetle. come
The early blight causes the loss often
as much as fifty per cent of crop
because of the failure to form tuberS.
1t makes matters worse In dry sea
son, and in dry seasons causes tho
greatest trouble. Every Irish potato
grower should spray for the blight
because it Is so wide spread
that there is hardly a potato patch in
the state free from it. and we should
spray also for the potato beetles If
they appear in the potato patch. The
spray for the beetles can be simply
ADDED to the regular spraying for the
blight and Will cost no more for ap-
plicatiOn, the only cost being the small
amount for the poison.
For the early blight use Bordeaux
mixture at the strength or 4-4-50 rms
is the ordinary Bordeaux mixture. For
the potato beetle you can add to this
mixture when you are making the or
binary spraying, five or six ounces OF
Paris green to every so gallons OF
spray mixture, or you can use two or
three pounds Of arsenate Of lead paste
to SO gallons OF this spray mixture.
The regular spraying will be given
as follows: The first one when the pc

of about two weeks following this
Usually these three will be sufficien

not justify the Arkansas cattle raiser
in keeping them. He is forced to sell

The greatest cause of this decrease

animals are heir to many diseases.
Every year cattle raisers OF this state

more deaths than probably any other

SKATING IN FASHION

Economy Betokened in New Styles Which Permit of Variety of Uses
 -FuIlness of the Skirt sst}; Feature. ,. ,-,'

New York.-Seeing that the new fashions are, eminently suitable for skating, the world of fashion and amusement threatens to substitute ice for a parquet floor. the figure eight for the cortez, the long glide on steel runners rather than the mincing lift of the foxtrot.
 It is not only the fullness of the skirt that is suggestive of skating in !! the prevailing costume for this win ter. The extraordinary use of pei try, the smallness of the fitted hat, the high boots of leather with fur cuffs at the top, the manner of fast enings the coat from waist to chin, are features that are all .incorporat- ed in the conventional skating cos tune that has ruleds55 our. imagina' tiona, if not our ice fields, for cen: cen: turies. & iss, "
 This fact betokens the ability to be economical in clothes. for it has not been easy, heretofore, to wear the same costume for all daytime er- rands and afternoon pleasures. The evening costumes will go along the same lines as those we dance in, and, it is said. that skating parties after the theater will soon take the place | of supper and dancing at restaurants. Among the many fashion shows now given is one for ice costumes shown by professional skaters at fashion. able rink. Y
 Even roller skating will come into fashion through the popularity of it's more important sister. Even if it is a fact that women of undoubted fashion are wearing much narrower skirts than the majority consider smart, the. bodices of the hour do not seem to threaten change There is no evidence of a disposition to sag ever the waist line, there is no treatment to, show that the dress. makers desire to broaden the shoul. ders, or slip the waist line up or down. This mucn in fashion is quiescent. The fitted basque does not yet curve as much as it's sspon. sors desire it to do; there are basques a-plenty, and the bust is we'll out lined, but ,thae tendency is strongly toward a straight line under the arms, a medieval, not a Victorian line. ,ss
 Tn a notable Bernard model made of black velvet and silk the skirt of which is ip alternating panels, the coat has reverted to the straightness of the Ingoyable period. It is double-breasted, is fastened with i'm mense bpttonSan two lines, it has the correct revefs that are closely allied to the period, and long, tight sleeves I that flare over the hand.
