About The New Road
 District

Keevil, Ark, Feb. 23, 1915. Editcr Argus:
 If you can spare the space l would like a few words about something other than crops as good seed this week roads that's what l like to see every body interested in. 1 think the time is now at hand for every tax payer to consider means for building permanent roads. Some contend that the improvements contemplated for District No. l will be without end as to cost because possibly some drain age districts in this state and roads in other states have been operated under a very loose law at a great cost. l think all should know what it will cost to build these roads and then if it is not excessive and the taxes actually used to retire so much of the bonds each year and not to be used in attorney and commissioners fees and that if it is found that the law so drawn as to prevent such uses of the money as have proven undesir- able under other laws then 1 be- lieve it the duty of every man that wants better roads to vote for them. On the other hand if it is possible that the money can be ''gobbled" up by asfew individuals then let's have none of it.
 MT Editor. hearing some people talk of this law has inn pressed me that they were almost agin" anything that would change the present road system in this county and has brought to mind the following lines:
 Many men of well meaning mind Conceived law to be enacted
 by the state, And many things in it we find Calculated t 0 be of benefit

 their labor's gains. By spludging through a miry

 With strong and sinewy veins. Alas! opposition has come from
 within and without To ''fiA" the law. forever. no
 doubt,
 So let's be careful, our hopes re-
 new,
 That good may come to all and
 not a few. Opponents tell of commissioners
 ruling will.
 Of grafters, greed and hate, But little they tell of the differ
 ence of this bill,
 And that of some road ridden
 and ruined state. They say the dear" people will
 be eaten yum. yum By great corporations at an
 alarming rate. Few words are mentioned about

Value of Fruit AcIds.

It IS thought that Acid fruits induce rheumatism. The contrary is true. Fruit acids taken into the system by a person, who has rheumatism act beneficially. and actually have the ef- feet of increasing the alkalinity of the blood. Experiments have proved this conclusively. Thus a person who has too much uric acId in the blood should for time eat fruit or acid fruit juices in large quantities.

To the People
Arkansas

On account of the critical condition which confronts them, the railroads of Arkansas de cided few weeks ago to go to the people of the state in a series of articles explaining situation which concerns the people of the state more than the railroads The Senate did not look with favor upon the bill asking that the presen. naxinGH two-cent passenger rate law be repealed and that the Railroad Commission be authorized to estab fish, after careful investigation the rate that should be charged by the railroads, with the pro viso that the rate would not exceed three cents mile.
 1t is to be regretted that the Senate coud not see it's way clear to authorize the Rail1oaa Commission to regulate passenger rates as 1ns' now do the freight rates, and that the ralIoa0 did not secure the relief asked for The ralToa0 believe, however, that they have won, because they see the dawning of day when the pe0w and the railroads will get together on matters such vital importance to each other.

minimum portions.
When the store closed all the Poles
had already received their supplies,
but a number of Jews had to leave
without any food. Then the author
tiles always sold the Poles much larger
portions on Saturday so that they
might have enough over Sunday. But
they allowed the Jews to buy
any more on Friday for the Sabbath
than on other days.
Besides. the women who sold the
food were very d~isagreeable to the
Jews. They would not give the latter
any change and advised the Poles to
hide their bread 80 that the Jews
would not see how they were treated.
Often they declared that they had
nothing to sell to the "Beilises."
