Liquor Legislation


AS Mr. Lloyd George continues to
hold the opinion that consumption of
liquor is interfering with the work, he
promised legislation to deal with this
matter.
The figures made public by the chan
cellor as to the size Of the British
army in France have caused great
surprise in England where the opin-
ion has been general that about half
that number of men had reached the
front, especially as there has been no
signs Of any decrease in the number
Of khaki-clad men training in this
country. It is likely that many Of the
new men have already been under fire,
as the Germans are making repeat
ed attempts to re-capture hill go, near
Ypres, which the British took on Sun
day and have. according to Field
Marshal Frenchs report, been re-
pulsed with great loss.
German Successes

other points along the western front,
and Berlin, which is more communica-
tive than Paris. says that the Ger

pathians has now apparently come to
full stop. for reports from that re-
gion speak only of attempted attacks,
which We're repulsed. both in the
mountains and in the direction Of
Stry. The Austro- Germans have made
an outtlanking effort to support this
latter movement. 1t is stated from
neutral sources that the Austrians
have virtually evacuated Bukowina.
Reverses in East Africa
Berlin supplies details, heretofore
lacking, of 4 British reverse in Ger
man East Africa in January, when a
British force was defeated near Jes-

reported to be going well for the allies,

The British also have had to deal
with a raid against Indian territory,

British suffered 20 casualties. the raid

BOYS AND POOL HALLS.

A strong Indictment of loafing in
pool halls is furnished by news
dispatch from Chicago under date OF
april 81, and which reads:
Seven youthful robbers who plead
ed that they entered a criminal
career through loafing in pool rooms,
were sentenced in Chicago courts to-
day.
Edward Kremseller, Is, and Thorn
as Wardell, 20, were sentenced to 20
years in prison by Judge Petit in
the criminal court for Staying bar
tender Five others, from 16 to 20
years old, were sentenced for rob-
berry.
Judge Petit in sentencing Kramsel-
Ter and Wardell to prison for murder
said:
81 had intended to sentence you to
life Imprisonment but after consider
ing the part society plays in keep
ing these hell holes of vice open,
will be little more lenient.'
Vernon Brown, 81 years old, and
Louis Kasper, 10 years old, tonight
confessed to the police that they had
shot and killed Henry Pfoertner, an
aged shopkeeper, last January,
when he resisted their efforts to rob
him. The youths asserted that they
had been inspired to a criminal
career by the stories heard from
other habitues of pool rooms.
Seven days ago four youths con-
fessed the murder of an old florist,
whom they attempted to rob in his
flower shop. They also asserted
that they had learned theft and thug
gerry in pool rooms.
This doesn't prove that all pool
halls are schools of crime, but I,
should serve as a warning to par
ents Of boys that pool halls are not
the best places in the world for their
sons to loaf. The Pine Bluff city
council recently enacted an ordin-
ance requiring that the interior of
pool halls should be visible from
the sidewalk. This was good
move. But neither law nor official
authority can take the place of par
entail advice and teaching. The par
ent who attempts to unload his re-
sponsibility upon the city or state
is making mistake that he and
his children will regret.

THE USE OF SOAP.
80 '<s< SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used spar
ingly, if at all, if you want to
keep your hair looking its best.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much prepared
alkal. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins
it.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and grease
less) is cheaper and better than
soap or anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle OF
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft
and the hair fine and silky,
bright lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.

IF Won were to be asked, what Is

one of them around with string
1hey're too liable to break it gobpfe

You wouldn't allow man-eaiing

Flies kill more people in week
than all the ferocious beasts in the
world do in year. Because flies
carry disease breading germs from
sick persons to those that are Weli;
they revel in garbage and bring the
stuff in tiny particles to that table
that the ambitious housewife tries
so hard to keep clean. If somebody
spills a cup of coffee on the taple
there is considerable said about it,;
but that isn't tenth as bad as II a
fly prances around on the meat or
the cake.
The common house fly is born IN
filth, lives best On filth, and is
messenger of death wherever he is
found.
The fly has two claws, and each
Of it's six feet has two sticky pads
Germ by the thousands stick tt
these pads; and when the animal
walks over your skin, or the face O
your baby, a train of deadly disease
germs is left.
some people wonder why SO mucf
is spoken and written about the nee
ossity Of swatting the fly. They sa.
that everybody knows about it ant
that further urging isn't necessary.
They are wrong. Urging is neces
sary so long as a single fly exists IL
the world. One of the greatest boon

urge you to swat the fly, time an

TOBACCO TRADE OF WORLD.

The United States is the, greatest
producer CT tobacco in the world.
and the greatest exporter, the great
est importer, and the greatest con-
sumner Our production of leaf of all
sorts averages somewhat more than
1 ,o0O, 900. 600 pounds year, having al
value to the producers OF about
$10O,00O,0O0. An enormous quantity
is exported-considerably more than
third of the production in normal
yea 's-for the sales of tobacco
abroad are excelled by only seven
of the. many products America sends
to other countries. These tobacco
exports exceed in value such items
as cotton manufactures, electrical
machinery, paper and paper products
and leather and leather manufactures.
| The dislocation Of trade resulting
from the war has had its effect On
| these tobacco sales, however, just as
it has upon the exports of many
other items. The salts Of unmanu-
! featured leaf have suffered most, and
these sales represent the bulk of our
| tobacco exports. In the first place,
it is practically impossible to ship
| all; and. in the second place, the
factories in the warning countries
that are accessible are not taklns
their usual supply of leaf, probably
because sufficient labor can not be
