DRAUGHON'S BUSINESS COLLEGE ABSORBS F0RDS'S BUSl-
 NESS COLLEGE

Prominent Arkansas Business
 Training School Enlarges Fla
 cilities for Handling Its Ever
 Increasing Enrolment.
 Elswhere in this paper will be found an announcement of the merger of Ford's Business Col Iege of the same city.
 The consolidation schools will be under the management of the Draughon's Practical Business College Company and the entire equipment of the Ford College will be moved to the quarters of the Draughon Company.
 This marks forward step in the progress of Draughons which has long been recognized as the leading business training school in this section of the country. Since 1t was established in 1901, it has made an enviable record in the field of business educat- ion, having graduated more than six thousands students.
 It's growth has been based on a practical system of training which insures efficiency in it's students, and it's policy of fair and equitable treatment IS known far beyond the confines of Ark ansas. The merger of the Ford College with it will make it one of the largest, if not the largest Business College in the entire, Southwest, and 1t will be enable to take care of it's ever-increas- ing student body even more CO., mpletely than heretofore.
 The young men and women of this state who are desirous of obtaining a practical business education, one that will stand the test of actual business, can not do better than to consider the many advantages to be found a Draughon's Little Rock College.

 Mrs. Bryson was born in Adair County Ky. in 1842. Came to Arkansas with her parents MT, and Mrs. Bean in 1917, was married to P. E. Bryson in 1868. Seven children were born to them three of whom are living. | l.. J. Bryson, Mrs. Mattie Honea and Henry Bryson. Besides husband and children she left a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her death. She professed religion in 1882 and joined the Protestant Church later she joined the Nj. E, Church . She was one of those quiet Wo, men who give their lives to lame and family, never going away from home much unless it was to visit the sick. But when
 we went to her home we were greeted with a smile and invit
 ed to partake of the very best the home afforded. An, well do l 1 remember my last meal in the home. The last eight years of 1 her life she was almost invalid,
 but Ain, the love and devotion shown by her family deserve high praise. On the 22nd of April she suffered a stroke of paralysis from which she never rallied. All that loving hands could do was of no avail and on Wednesday morn at 10, 20,
 while the Sun shone, birds sang, and the perfume of dew laden roses filled the air, her spirit returned to God. Ser vices were held in Shady Grove
 Church by Rev. Barham, Felts and Delaughter, they read ap- propriate scriptures and gave words of love and comfort. en-

METHOD USED BY BOY SCOUTS
Employs Far More Efficient Plan Of
Artificial Respiration Than the
OId-Fashioned Practice.

The competent Boy Scout can give
the average bystander practical
demonstration in the resuscitation OF
the apparently drowned these days.
And he doesn't subject the victim to
the risk of dislocated arms or frac-
tured ribs in the effort either, for the
Boy Scout is taught simpler, more
easily applied and far more. efficient
method Of artificial respiration than
the old-fashioned practice of working
the subjects arms and pressing on
the ribs.
OF course pulmotor would be
fine thing to use If Qpe were at hand,
but meanwhile every one should know
and be ready in an emergency to APP
ply the method of artificial respira-
tion used by Boy Scouts. writes VIII
liam Brady. M. D., in Chicago News.
It is performed as follows:
Place the subject prone on the
ground or on any fat surface-that
is to say. "on his stomach'-with the
palms of his hands on the ground be-
side his head and his face turned to
astride his hips and press directly
downward upon the lower ribs above
the small of the back, by simply rock
ing the weight of your body forward
on your rigid arms. This movement
forces air land water If there be any
out Of the subjects chest. The next
movement is still easier-simply re-
lease your pressure and lean back and
wait few seconds; the natural elias
ITCHY of the chest will then cause suf-
ficient rebound or expansion to draw
in fresh air.
Repeat this maneuver at the rate OF
eighteen or less times per minute by
the watch, and you may be sure that
no other known means, unless it be
the pulmotor machine, will offer the
drowned person such good chances of
recovery. Never give UP your efforts
within half an hour, no matter how
hopeless the case may seem.

Nina Kitten hung her head and
