John T. King was again awarded the contract for the collection of the garbage in this city. at a meeting of the board of health last night. His bid of $2.14 per ton for the fve-year term was lowest The Burns Co had bid $2.20 per ton for this term and Charles S. Fischer, who reduces the garbage, had bid $2 .38 per ton for the same period.
 On motion of pr. David H. Mona han, the board first took a vote on which contract would be most "ad- Vantageous" to the city. President Frank W. Sevens, Dr. Monohan and Commissioner George c. Peet are sup posed to have voted for the five-year contract as being the best. Attorney William L. Zepp, the other member of the board, is believed to have voted for the 10-year contract on which the Burns Co. was low at $2.04 per ton. MT. Kings bid for a contract for this period was $2.06 per ton.
 Each commissioner wrote his vote on a piece of paper and passed it to Clerk Dunbar of the board. When it was seen that three commissioners favored the fve-year contract, Com missioner Peet made a motion that the contract be awarded Mir King. His motion was seconded by pr. Mona han and then carried without opposi- ton
 President Stevens and Attorney Zepp were appointed a committee to see that a proper contract is drawn. Only the members of the board, Clerk

cent states of Missouri Kansas, Ten nessee Arkansas and Minnesota also contribute shares, but to a smaller ex- tent. This supply is termed t'western," a portion of which is tdry picked while the remainder is scaIded to en- able the ready removal of the feathers. The latter presents the better appear ance before cooking, but the former is pumped up and becomes attractively smooth and of unbroken skin surface under the influence of the heat needed in it's preparation for the table. All choice or fancy turkeys and other poul- try are dressed dry picked.''
 There are several sources of produc- tion of ultra superior turkeys, for each of which it is claimed that it holds the palm of excellence. As the reputation for luxurious living in this country be- gan in the south, it will be weN to com mence with a description of the rice 1fattened birds of Maryland. They are distinguished for deiicacy of flesh and flavor which are imparted by their ex- clusively rice diet, and their skin is remarkably white, as compared with that of other poultry, which is also at- tributed to the character of feeding
 There are certain epicures who will partake of no other turkeys while Maryland rice feds'' are procurab ble. The next in order is what is designat- ed as ''Philadelphia,' and this em- braces turkeys, chickens, fowls, geese and ducks. Pennsylvania has been oc- cupied by thrifty class of German immigrants, who early provided good poultry, especially in Bucks county of that state, which furnished the supply of the citizens of Philadelphia
 xlw.xf fa.a excellent poultry with which they were served, substituted for Bucks county Philadelphia, ? and so it has become the term for all varieties of Pennsylva- mia poultry sent out of the state. 5 Northward progression of the descrip- tfon Of famous poultry next halts at Rhode Island. There the poulterers have selected the largest of the cult- vated strains, which attain the weight of twenty-five to thirty pounds the first year and fifty pounds and up ward the second year. Massachusetts has it's claim to the production of high class poultry also on file, and to tur- keys it adds geese, of which in New York, where all qualities and standards are passed upon and determined, the excellence is conceded
 Large size,> tenderness of flesh, pal atabIeness of flavor, are all included. and, though Rhode Island, Philade1- phia and Maryland each and all insist that their geese cannot be excelled, the Scity epicures decide for Boston's claimr by their insistence for that supply to the limit of it's extent.

CANCER AMONG WOMEN

Out of 29,8S3 deaths Of women from all forms of cancer in the Uni ted States registration area in 1913s cancer of the breast Accounted for A. 514, or nearly one-seyenth Since the re6-stration area covers only 50 per cent of the population of the coun- try. and since the cancer death rate in general is not yet decreasing, prob ably a total of between 1000 and B. 900 women die every year from this single form of malignant disease. This is more than twice as many as die of appendicitis. When it is re- membered that cancer of the breast is curable, and from it's very nature, this total loss of life seems, and in fact is, absolutely needless
 The responsibility for this sacrifice to Ignorance must be laid to delay on the part of the patient, or to incom- petent advice It is no fault of the cancer, for there is visible evidence of it's presence long before it has ceased to be a local and removable enemy. But both patient and physf- elan may answer, Yes knew there was a tumor. bat it did not hurt and I did not suspect it was serfous.' Humps or tumors of the breast are always serious and presumably malig- nant until the contrary is established. Pain, unfortunately for the patient, seldom begins in time to drive her to seek relief in the rcurable stage
 Over 80 per cent of tumors of the breast are malignant or potentially so. Every patient with early cancer of the breast, every physician consult ed on account of it. should know that prompt and radical surgical treat ment offers almost certain success It is the only cure that is at all reliable. By the evidence of the microscope, by animal experimentation, and by clinical and surgical experience, can cer has been proven beyond question 50 begin as strictly local disease. If then it is removed, in the early stage, before any involvement of adjoining or distant organs takes place a cure is practically certain If it is not at tended to in it's incl piency, and is all lowed to run it's course, cancer of the breast will as rule prove fatal in about three years
 Cancer of the breast does not re- turn when it is thoroughly removed It was long believed that a recurrence was. as it's name implies, a return of the cancer after it had been complete ly removed The present and un- doubtedIy the correct view is that in such cases the original malignant growth was not entirely removed. Tn other words. the recurrence is a defi- nite and direct continuation of the original growth, of which at least a part was not removed. In too many such cases it is the patient who needless1y sacrifices her life by wait ing too long, or by fooiishly giving up the moment she hears the word "cancer.r/ Remember that the sur geon cannot perform a miracle and extirpate the disease after it has had time to spread far from it's local be- ginning. But remember, also, that probably four-fifths of all cases that are taken in hand immediately by a good surgeon are cured

ALL THE EFFECTIVENESS. NOT
THE EFFECT OF CAL
OMEL.

Liv-Ver-Lax is one of the most i'm
portane medical discoveries of recent
years. For a long time medical ex-
perts, realizing the harmful effects of
calomel, have been striving to find a
liver cleanser that would be Just as
effective as calomel, and yet be abso-
lutely harmless in it's action. Recent
ly this remedy was actually put forth
by L. X. Grigsby, in his Liv-Ver-Lax.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vegeta-
BILE compound, designed solely for the
treatment of liver complaints. The
immediate favor it has met with in
thousands of homes is proof positive
of its real value.
If you feel worn out, tongue coated,
and skin sallow, don't delay until it
becomes dangerous, nip the trouble in
the bud with Liv-Ver-Lax. Insist on

COWPEAS AND SOY /
BEANS FOR FORAGE
ALL VARIETIES PRODUCE HEAVY
YIELDS IN STATE EXPERT
MENTS AT FAYETTEVILLE
SHOW THEM GOOD INVESTMENT

Among the crops that can be sub.
stituted for cotton, none is more gen
orally practicable than cowpeas and
soy beans. Both crops are extremely
we'll adapted to the soils and climate
of Arkansas. Both are fairly certain
to produce good yields of highly MI.
tr1tious forage and grain.
AS a rule cowpeas will do better
on poorer soils than soy beans.
The soy beans perhaps, have a
slight advantage in withstanding
drought. Cowpeas have an advantage
in that they continue their growth un-
til frost. whereas, soy beans must be
harvested at certain time or the
leaves fall of.
Cowpeas, usually produce a larger
yield Of forage than most varieties of
soy beans, but not SO much grain. Late
varieties Of soy beans, however, are
high yielders of forage, but do not
produce much grain. Cowpea varie-

"The Opened Shutters four
reel Gold Seal comedy drama, will be
the offering tonight at the Arkwy.
1t is an excellent four-reel produc-
ton of a novel by Cara Louise Burn
ham, opening with pictures of the au-
thor at home. Herbert Rawlinson,
Anna Little and William Worthing-
ton play the leading parts, the latter
appearing as Thinkright, sort of
Christian Science character, who
brings the conflicting individuals to-
gether. Judge Trent and Aunt Mar
tina, those typical, hard-shelled New
England characters, are well repre-
sented The photography and scenic
effects are good throughout. Anna
Little is particularly good as the re-
bellious Sylvia. This makes a very
pleasing comedy drama, and retains
the spirit of Mrs. Burnhams story
admirably.

THE SCENIC LINE TO THE san
FRANCISCO EXPOSITION

If you are going to the Panama
Pacific Exposition, you will surely
want to use the railroad that we'll per-
nit you to see the most on the WAY.
Lying between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast is stretch of
more than two thousand miles of
wonderland. All the magnificent
sights of Europe do not compare IN
natural grandeur with the mountain
heights, the canon depths, the craes
and cataracts, the forest giants, the
sweeps of plain and river vstas which
unfold in kaleidoscope order before
the eyes of the traveller between St.
Louis and San Francisco, if he uses
the Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio
Grande and Western Pacific.
TIE trip over these lines is abso-
lutely the most picturesque from the
Mississippi river to Colorado, across
the Rockies and through the Sierra
Nevadas to the Pacific coast. This is
the route of The Scenic Limited, a
fast, all-steel train between st. Louis
and San Francisco and the only
through train between st. Louis and
the Pacific coast.
Be sure to use The Scenic Limited

ties which have given good results at
the Arkansas Experiment Station at
Fayetteville are New Era, Whippoor-
will, Clay. Red Ripper, and an early
variety OF black peas.
Some varieties grow only IS inches
tall. while late maturing varieties
reach over five feet and have
procured smaller yield of seed
at this station. Haberlandt, Will
son, Medium Yellow, Meyer and
Fekin are high yielders and produce
literally of grain. Ito San and Ogema
are of the short early maturing heavy
seed producing type. Mammoth and
Edward are late heavy forage pro-
ducers.
Broadcast or Drilled.
Either cowpeas or soy beans may be
sOwed broadcast or drilled in rows
for forage. For seed production it is
preferable to drill in rows 90 to SO
inches wide and cultivate three times.
The first two civilizations should
throw the dirt into the row to cover
up weeds, but the last cultivation
should be level In order to leave the
land smooth. With high priced seed
1t is most economical to plant in rows

SOILS OF ARkANSAS-HOW TO
PLANT.

The peanut grows best on we'll
drained, loose, sandy loan soils of
medium fertility, which should be
prepared thoroughly, this will make
less work in caring for the growing
crop
When barnyard manure is used as
fertilizer it should be applied to
the preceding crop that the peanuts
may get the resultant effect. Com.
mercial fertilizer may be applied in
the bed of the row just previous to
the planting of the crop. Apply 200
TO 800 pounds of commercial fertilizer
containing two per cent of nitrogen,
per cent Of phosphoric acid and 1
to D per cent of potash. The per cent
OF nitrogen should be increased il a
previous green manure crop has not
been turned under. Soils low in lime
should receive an application of 500
to 600 pounds of lime to encourage
proper ripening Of the fruit
Variety Types.
There are two general variety types
or peanuts; those with large pods, the
Virginia Runner and the Virginia
Bunch type and those with small pods,
Spanish and Tennessee Red type. The
Virginia type is used chiefly for roast.
ing purposes; tire other are recon-.
mended for oil content and as forage.
The Spanish is the commercial va.
riety for Arkansas.
only the very best of the cron
should be saved for seed and planted
IN special patch. An ideal plant
should produce a large number Of
pods well filled with seed, uniform in
size, shape and color. The large pod
varieties Of peanuts are always shelled
before planting, care being used not
to break the seed covering Spanish
peanuts may be planted with or with.
out the pod. To hasten termination,
soak the pods a few hours Just pre-.
vlous to planting. Plant in rows 2 to
~ feet apart, with the plants to -
inches apart in row, depending upon
the variety.
Marking OF Field.
In planting mark the field off In
rows as in corn planting, and use a
one-horse planter similar to the one.
horse cotton planter. For hand plant.
Ing open up the rows with small
shovel marker and drop in seed at
proper distance. Cover to a depth
of 11a to inches. Begin cultivation
with a harrow as soon as the crop is
planted. After the crop is we'll up,
start cultivating between the rows
with small shoveled cultivator and
keep the soil in loose condition for
pod setting. 1t is desirable to force
loose dirt with cultivator up to the
plant but do not cover the vines.
