YOUR HEALTH
Don't Endanger if With
 GaI0mel

It is generally agreed by ex- perts in this country and Flu rope that ealomel 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. It 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-lax and you'll never use calomel again. Insist on the genuine, bearing the likeness and signature of L. K. Grigsby, which is guar anteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. For sale by Newark Drug Go.

FUTRELL MAY
 ENTERCONTEST
Former Congressman Reed of Little Rock Also Admits he Has His Ear to the Ground

Little Rock, July 13.-The next announcement to be made for Governor is expected to be made by Senator J. NJ. Futrell, unless Governor Hays beats him to it. But he has been counted among the fourteen possibilities all along, so that his entry in the free-for-all would not occasion great sur prise.
 Former Congressman C. C. Reid of Little Rock also admits that he has his ear to the ground, and that stranger things have happened than his deciding to get in the race for governor.
 A. J. Walls, U. s. Marshal and chairman of the State committee, whose stock was quoted high few weeks ago. is not saying anything these days. He appears likewise to be playing a waiting game. which seems to be the fashion in politics and diplomacy these days. None of the others has decided to take the fatal leap into the malestrom yet for a while. It is always easier to get in than to get out.
 In the meantime Hodges, Taylor, Brough, and MeRae, the avowed candidates, are be ing heard at county fairs, pie nies and rallies, school exer- cises and other occasions, where they can reach the ear of the People. Gov. Hays, whose ability as an orator is we'll known, is also in great demand, although to even his most intimate friends he has not minated what his inten- tions are. However, 1t is gen. erally believed that he will be in the race for another term.
 Some interest is being arous- ed over the attorney-general- ship. Judge Moose will not likely be a candidate for an- other term, although the third term habit is becoming preva- lent since Jeff Davis set the pace. Mike Huddleston, of Paragould, who, years ago, was a clerk in the U. $. Land Office, and then became State Senator, Prosecuting Attorney, etc, is an avowed candidate. But if his law partner, Sena- tor Futrell, should decide to get in the race for governor, Mr. Hudleston will probably withdraw. Senator Elmer Lun- dy also has his eye on the le- gal portfolio, and during the past week was in conference with a number of his political advisers.
 Political conferences are a popular diversion inthe capital now, and many a potential ca reer is boosted or blockaded behind closed doors in Little Rock hotels or offices.
