A WAY OUT

A Resident of Pine Bluff Shows the
 Way.
 There's one effective way to relieve kidney backache.
 Liniment and plasters may relieve it.;
 But they seldom reach the cause
 Backache is cause to suspect the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for dis ordered kidneys.
 Pine Bluff people back them up Read a case of it.
 Mrs. M. V. Greene, 1219 Main St.. Pine Bluff, says: q do not know what weakened my kidneys, but a short time ago I knew they needed attention. When l movea around. had dull, steady ache over my kidneys. Dizzy spells were common and specks floated before my eyes My kidneys were disordered and ths secretions were unnatural. l used different medicines but didn't get much relief until 1 took Doans Kid ney Pills. They helped me quickly Whenever I have any trouble from my kidneys, a few doses of Deans Kidney Pills have relieved me-"

NIVEN AND VEIL
 LOCK HORNS OVER
 MILK ORDINANCE
Opposition to the Proposed Measure Develops, and
 Council Defers Action.

The city council last night heard the second reading of the ordinance regulating the production and sale of milk in Pine Bluff, and after some discussion it was decided to allow the ordinance to remain on the cal- endar until next Monday night, when the council will meet again with the members of the board of health and with representative of the darymen, to thoroughly thresh out the proposi- tion and reach some solution of the problem.
 A committee of dairymen was pres ent at the meeting last night, to ask a hearing before final action was talk en on the matter. The council was informed that the dairymen had held meeting at the Watson's chapel school Saturday night and discussed the ordinance, and had named the committee to represent them.
 Alderman Niven opened the argu- ment on the ordinance, stating tfat it meant no revenue to the city and he could not see any other good it would accomplish. hence he is oppos- ed to the ordinance.
 Alderman Veil took issue, stating that it is the first duty of the alder men to protect the public health. The ordinance was proposed and recom- mended by the board of health, he said, and he could not see how any alderman could oppose so beneficial measure. Perhaps some amend ments are needed. he said, but cer- tainly the ordinance ought not be so summarily disposed of,
 Alderman Franey said he favors the inspection of milk and dairies but he does not favor making the dairy men pay the tax of SIP per year. Such tax would seriously discom- mode the smaller iairymen, and oth- CT things made necessary by the or dinance would virtually put them out of business.
 Alderman Veil finally suggested the matter lie over until Monday night, when the council, the board of

COMBING WON"E RID
 HAIR OF DANDRITFF

The only su1e way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvcn; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it n gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most if net all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- piications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will md, too, that all itching aiia digging of the scalp will stop at cnce, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and lock and feel 8 hundred times bet ter.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. \
