Little do millions of people realize that the garments they
wear may be laden with germs which carry and spread disease
Of every kind and nature.
A moment of earnest reflection upon this subject will at
once disclose the fact that ones outer clothing comes in almost
continuous contact with germ elements that have their source
of entry to the body through the clothes we wear.

Pressing clothes by hand with the half rotten sponge or
dirty press cloth is adding fuel to the fire of contagion, but
To have your clothes pressed the Hoffman sanitary way is
positive assurance that they will be thoroughly sterlized.
Every square inch of your garment will be treated with
clean hot dry steam without s%corching, burning or CLOSING it.
This process of pressing also raises the nap, brings out the
color, sets, cures and dries the fabric, producing a newness in
appearance as well as frightening the life of your wardrobe.

The links big spring carniva. is now we'll under way, On the big sIa2w grounds at Tenth avenue and Ma;l streets, and with axcoHtinuance of she present most favorable weather con ditions, it is expected there will DC large crowds in attendance until the carnival comes to e! ,se Saturday night. sssra,ss.
 The grounds are light as day. and last night there sMas a sreat crowd of pleasureaand nusemen, seeAers, enjoying the free acts and taking in the dozen oremore shows that gre on tthe grounds. The parpeldica a: motordrome, in which morn1gyclists ride at terrific speed on an absolute ly perpendicular wall, is one of the big features of the carnl?s,l, although there are number of other shows in particular which appeared to make ;t hit with the crowd last night.
 In the largest ten on the grounds. are about ten different shows and features, among them several animal acts which are above the ordinary. The Dixie minstrels, an aggregation of negro talent. is befte: than tic usual show of this kind, and last night pleased large crowds.
 The Ferrs wheel, the merry eo- round, the doll racks and other such features are up t65the minute in every respect, and the Intelnational Shows, which is furnishing these attractions for the Jinks' carnival, and which spent the winter here, is starting it's season with an aggregation which. # is believed, ranks with that f any carnival company on the roai this Aseason.
 An added feature last evening was the concert given by the Pine Bluff band, the members going to the show grounds after playing at the political speaking. and rendering several num- kers, much to the pleasure of the crowd. These gentlemen have the thanks of "The links" for their cughtfulness. Mir. Dano, the mana ger of the shows, has band under contract, but owing to conflict in dates, this band has been unable to get here in tint for theweek's enter tainment, and the carnival has had to do the best possible in the way of music.

Eotelman Says Proportion of Heavy Drinkers 1 to s: Twice as

New York, March 2S-The majority of prisoners in New York state pris- ons are not heavy drinkers. In fact. the proportion of heavy drinkers to the prison population is to 8 while there are twice as many "teetotalers" as heavy drinkers.
 These facts were brought to light by Mark Caldwell, secretary of the New York City Hotelman's assoc'a- tion. MT. Caldwell made his investi- sation after reading the message be- lind grey walls,' in which convict "No. 11,2241" Of Sing Sing prison, told a committee from the New York state legislature that 99 out of every one hundred men n prison were there be- cause of drink.

 Children Gather.

When the athletes representing the high schools and colleges of the state gather in Pine Bluff early in May, for their annual track and field meet, they w Il find the Pine Bluff athletic field in condition finer than it has ever been before, and with special preparations made for the meet.
 Within the past ten days. substan- tial picket fence has been built all along the front of the bleacher seats, extending from the grandstand to the entrance gate. This will keep the crowds off the field, and will allow the athletes all the room they need for their contests.
 Sand pits have been dug, and will be filled with clear. white sand. for the use of vaulters and jumpers. These are placed in front of the Ileacher seats, so that the baseball diamond will not be spoiled by the excavations. f>A M
 The cinder path s being rebuilt en- tirely. It has already been given a rev grade. and after the Milwaukee baseball players leave, the track will be given new and heavy coating of cinders, which are already at hand for the purpose.

All the details have been looked after, and as result the grounds and buildings will be ready in every particlar when the date for the big meet arrives. >
