Keeping Square with Nature

Nature runs the Bank of Health on generous lines We are allowed to make large overdrafts on our vitality and powers of resistance. We poison our digestive tracts, overtax our vital organs and let our muscles get flabby.
 We get fair warning of our depleted balances, but pay little attention until actual physical bankruptcy forces us to strict accounting.
 How much better it would be if kept the count square! Our physical resources should be administered at least as prudently financial resources We ought to take every possible means of keeping our balance on the right side.
 Health Inventory, the complete physical examina- ton given at the great Health Resort at Battle Creek shows the condition of heart lungs and kid neys the blood pressure the condition of the diges tive system. It treasures the woman who has not yet seriously impaired the health balance; it shows the corrective that should be under taken at once if the situation is serious.
 Getting this physical trial balance requires hardship. At battle Creek, you find all the com forts of great modern hotel together with the most complete equipment in the world for the dag nosis of physical condition Outdoor sports and the pleasant and varied social life within makes your visit as delightful as it is helpful.

Futrall DeplOres Tenant Farming.
John G. Futrall president Of the
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville,
advocated smaller rural population
an dimproved farming methods as
the solution for the agricultural
problems of the South. Mr.. Futrall
pointed out that the South's 1arge
percentage of rural population is not
an asset but rather an evidence OF
poverty.
"What we need in the South is no;
the cne-horsc type of agriculture now
prevalent" he said, "but scientific
men to produce a larger product.
'Most Southern farms have an
economic loss because the farmer
uses himself instead of animal labor
and agricultural machinery Usual
~ he would be making more if he
were to- sell or rent his farm and
hire himself out as a day laborer.'
Mr.. Futrall pleaded against ten
ant farming on an economic basis
and asserted that cit is destructive
to the social and spiritual life of a
community!' The tenant farmer
hesitates to make permanent i'm
provements for fear the landlord
will not spend any more than he IS

This Is Recommendation of
Mayor Bloom in Special
Message to Council.
S25 P RIV IL r G. E TAX
Executive Makes Public Recommended
lions in Order That Problem May BE
Discussed Thoroughly Before
Final Action.

An indemnity bond Of not less than
$4,000, and privilege tax OF not
less than $25 per month, for cach
and every automobile jitney bus Ill
the city, is urged by Mayor Bloom,
who yesterday dlrecied tho follow
ing letter to City Clerk William A.
Lee, with the request that Mr.. zee
read the letter to the city council at
tic regular meeting next Monday
night, and the further request that
City Attorney Earl Wood prepare
the necessary ordinance for con-
sideration by the council at that SEES
sion:
81 request that you read this com
munication to next council and TINS
will be a request that the city at
torney draw up proper ordinance
covering the jitney traffic.
"The safety of the people shouic
be our very first consideration, the
abuse of the privilege accorded tt
the jitney or auto traffic is men
ace to the people of Pine Bluff, tn
most fragrant that ever came under
my personal observation.
"The reckless driving, the Carr
overloaded with passengers, their ut
ter disregard for traffic laws, anc
their apparent Indifference for the
lives of the people in my estimation
makes it imperative, and | am anX-
ious, that immediate action be taken
on this proposition.
81 would first suggest a bond IN a
surety company Of not less than five
thousand dollars $4,000 per jltney
and a privilege tax OF not less than
twenty-five dollars (s250o) per
month be placed on this traffic.
"Ycu gentlemen know that the po-
lice force, cannot be in the suour-
ban part of the city and we are not
able to put on men for this abuse
and danger. ! don't believe Our
police force should be taxed with the
duty for such violation OF the law.
"I trust the councilmen will
kindly give this immediate attention"

the colOnePs charges, were merely an
elaborate cry Of you're another"
The latter letters, dated August 81,
1908, were nearly identical in con-
tents and phraseology. In one letter
Barnes said that, should Governor
Hughes be elected he would set up a
political machine and all politicians
who opposed him would have to
sneak into the back door or get out
Of politics.
Afraid to Oppose Hughes.
The reply of Colonel Roosevelt read
in part: 1T is not pleasant for me
to support a man who has wantonly
behaved badly to the very men who
did most in securing his election-I
would approve his turning them down
i'll the public interest, but | object to
its being done wantonly. It we had
tho right man to put in his place {the
right man from the standpoint of get
ting votes) | should say that it was
certainly wise to nominate such a
man.
"But no such man is in sight. IN
der the conditions it's seems to me that
while it Will do damage to renominate
Hughes, it will do more not to re-
nominate him and that this damage
will extend outside of the state. My
judgment is that the convention ought
to renominate him.
Mr. Parsons.
On August "a, 1908. Colonel Roose-
welt wrote to Mr.. Barnes:
"Most emphatically, whatever my
friends do up in Albany, l shall stand
by them. | have given them, including
you, my best judgment. Now, if you
and those like you fear | shall ask
you to cut your threats. your fear is
groundless. But my judgment is the
convention will nominate Hughes and
it would hurt very much more not to
nominate him than to nominate him.
On August 81, Colonel Roosevelt
wrote to Mr.. Parsons, then a New
York congressman. denying Parsons
assertions that sentiment was against
Hughes, and also that he was using
Parsons as a puppet. He also denied
he was in charge of the national
campaign. W
In a postscript to this letter Colonel
Roosevelt said: '1'1l stand heartily
for whatever you and the rest of the
lea ders finally do and having no in
tention Of forcing the nomination. Or
of trying to-"
Colonel Roosevelt said his favoring
Governor Hughes was because /
thought the people wanted him"
did you regard it as any evidence
of corruption that Messrs. Barnes
Hendrix and Parsons favored some
other man than Mr. Hughes?'
Colonel Roosevelt answered in the
negative when asked specifically about
each of the men named.
