NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Paragould People Should Learn tc Detect the Approach of Kidney
 Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are many. Disordered kidneys often excrete a thick. cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back may ache, headaches and dizzy spells may oc- cur and the victim is often weight ed down by feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warn ings and there is danger. Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better endorsed kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Paragould proof of their merit.
 F. R. Clark, 5O2 N. Third St., Paragould, says: "One of our fam fly complained of lame back and weak kidneys. Deans Kidney Pills strengthened the back and made the kidneys normal"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remey- get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Clark recommends. Eos ter-Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y. (advt)

Little Rock, July 14.-Lawrence Foot, special marketing agent for the United States department of agriculture, induced three ice fac tories in Arkansas last January to buy hogs and keep them in storage for home consumption, and expects to interest at least 30 in his plan before November.
 My plan," said MT. Foot, ''is to teach the 90 ice factories Ar kansas how to buy dressed hogs from nearby farmers during No vember, December, January, Febru- ary and March, when 95 per cent of the hogs are sold, and also when the majority of the ice plants are dead mechanically and industrially. The department of agriculture be- lieves that by thus giving the farm CT a steady and a reliable market, he will be induced to raise more hogs, and incidentally more corn.
 ''The ice factory would pay cash for the hogs. and could afford to pay better price than the former could obtain by shipping his hogs on foot. The factory would then cut up the hogs, cure and smoke them, and find ready sale for the meat

Killing the Eggs of Flies.

Dr. L. o. Howard of the depart ment of agriculture has proved that from six to ten pounds of borax sprinkled on every eight bushels of manure as it is removed from the barn and wet with a water can full of water, will prevent the eggs of flies from matching. The borax al- so improves the manure as a fertil- izer and prevents fire-fanging. Re- fuse and garbage should be sprink- led in the same way.

WANTS ARKANSAS ICE PLANTS TO
 =. BUY AND STORE DRESSED HOGS

Bonneville, Conway and Ft. Smith. have had one plant in Mississippi working according to my plan for more than two years. This spring visited Is plants in Arkansas and all but four are anxious to com mence the work in November. One of these four has the matter under advisement, and the proprietors of the other three could not be reach ed. Ihope to have beenetaoin ed. hope to have between 30 and 40 plants working this winter.
 My plan benefits the ice fac tory, but provides a market for'the hogs that are raised and gives bet ter and cheaper meat to the com munity. It keeps Arkansas meat at home and keeps it from being shipped out of the state, only to be brought here again in the form of hams, bacon and other products.
 MT. Foot has spent the last four months in preparing a pamph- let, giving full directions to ice plants. and telling them how to prepare Virginia hams and pure American pork sausage in Arkan- sas. MT. Foot also says the breed of hogs in Arkansas should be inn proved. The average Arkansas hog is now worth $3.42, while the average hog in Iowa is worth $9.17.

Declares His Boys Were Murdered.

OcCldICS 1AlS 0OyS WCIc 0xuTQcCCu.
 Lafe, Ark, July 12, 1915. TO the Editor:
 read an article in last weeks Soliphone about the death of the Crow brothers that is misleading and partly untrue. I am the father of. the Crow boys and am prompted to write this and ask you to pub fish it.
 The oldest son, A. B. Crow, would have been thirty years of age next September The young CT son, Richard, was seventeen wears old on November g, 1914. The elder brother lived at Sellmeyer and had three children. Richard lived here with his parents near Lafe. Richard had gone to spend July 4 with his brother, and they went to Knobel to get some groceries and jug of whisky. The whisky be- longed to four people. I don't be- lieve they would have opened the jug until the other parties were present. The jug was broken in a sack with some bread. They were either not drinking or were not asleep. The time was too short for them to have reached the sleeping stage of drunkenness. One report l indicates there was an eye witness to the tragdey and that the engi- neer on the train did see them and stopped, or almost stopped the train within a few feet of them, and while they were making efforts to get off the track he pulled the throttle open and struck them in- stantly. They had no chance to escape, if this is true, and l be- lieye it is. The engineer could not help knowing he had killed them and did not have humanity enough to stop. It is my opinion it was willful, cold-blooded murder, and that the engineer should suffer fol it to the extent of the law. Rail road men should be made to re- spect human life, as well as other people. I have the above report oi an eye witness from reliable source and I think it is true.
 Yours truly,
 G. D. CROW.
