GOOD WORDS FOR THE AUTO.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE AUTO.
Harking back to the time not so
very many years ago when the auto
mobile was looked upon by the city
pedestrian as we'll as the rural wagon
driver as nuisance and a symbol of
selfishness it is comforting to the
many motor owners of today who once
classed themselves as anti-automo-
bilists to consider that valuable ma
chine as an agency for the better plan
ming of modern cities.
A writer in the Engineering Record,
quoted in the Literary Digest, pays
his respects to the automobiles as an
agency for this broader benefit, as
compared to its former status of more
personal and individual advantage.
The effect of the motor-vehicle upon
the city plan of the future, he says,
will be beneficial in that it will aid in
bringing about some of the most i'm
portant results that city planners are
striving to attain, such as:
(a) The encouragement of further
Capitalization by reason of the fact
that distances can more readily be
overcome by men and women going to
and from their work.
(b) The diffusion of land values.
While they will be increased in the ag
gregate, sensational increases in some
rlaces and stagnation in others Wi
less likely, and real estate will be put
on a more stable basis.
(c) Insistence upon better class of
street and road improvements, they in
turn stimulating better improvement
of the abutting property.
(d) A better knowlede on Tie part
Of the citizen of his city and its en-
virons, through the most general use
of the motor car. He will thus acquire
greater interest in the improvement
of both, and more widespread inter
est in city-wide planning will be- de-
veloped. Add to these the universally
recognized commercial and pleasur-
able value of the automobile, and
there is little left for unfavorable crit
icism. Whatever criticism there is of
the automobile, nowadays, is, anyway
forced and insincere. 1t is not the
automobile but its occasional abuse
that prevents it from enjoying unani-
mouse applause.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

Early symptoms of the disease
which all parents should know:
The first symptom of the disease is
usually running of the nose, but in
asmuch as there are nine distinct
types of this malady the symptoms
are different in each instance.
One symptom that is apparently in
all types, but which usually occurs
at the beginning of all children's dis
eases, is stomach disorder, unwilling
ness to play and an uneven tempera-
turc.
A sure symptom is pains in back OF
neck, stiffness of joints and severe
headache. Once these symptoms are
apparent a physician should be sum-
moned and the child quarantined.
Parents should not object to the
child being removed to hospital. as
the percentage of cures in such insti-
tutions are out of all proportion to
those treated at home.
Under no conditions allow the child
to mingle in crowds at this time. The
safest place is at home where the
windows should be screened and all
food covered,
Keep the child supplied with clean
handkerchiefs. Do not kiss him or
her. Parents should wash their hands
before preparing meals. and no child

may mean that England has equipped
a sufficient number of factories to
supply the demand of war or it may
mean that Great Britain feels that
the end of the war is so near at hand
that it is not worth while to continue
the purchase Of war munitions in
America.
That the latter theory is the correct
one, seems fostered by the decision of
the Westinghouse company to demol-
ish the impromptu factories erected as
a matter of emergency and to return
to the legitimate business to which
the company has for years been identi-
fed
At any rate there is hopeful sign
in this announcement. 1t may mean
much. It may be that later on Eng
land will come once more as GUS
toner and contract for war supplies.
The war is not yet ended, but those
who pray for peace may feel that their
prayers are soon to be answered in
the terrific drive now being directed
against the Teutons.
There is a happy coincidence with
the announcement that war munition
plants of the Westinghouse company
will soon be closed and that is that

Don't Think of
Taking Calomel
LemOlac Has Proven a Scientivc
Substitute.

For many years it has be.n the ore
thought that when the system needed
to be rejuv<nated, when the liver
failed to perform it's functions, Gallo
mel would be the only effective rem
edy. But today, through wonderfully
scientific research, Lemolac has been
found to accomplish the identical re-
suits as calomel, without the sickening
and unpleasant features.
Lemolac is a purely vegetable pul-
gative, is mild in it's action and easy
to take. 1t is the one remedy of its
kind that does not grippe nor salivate.
You can give it with safety to the
smallest child.
When the liver seems "lazy," when
you feel all out of sorts and particu
larly when constipation is annoying
you, try Lemolac and you'll be more
than pleased for doing so.
Lemolac is sold by Central Phar-
macy, Pine Bluff, Ark, who will glad
ly refund your money should it fail
to accomplish everything claimed for
it. -:
P. S.-If you forget the name spell
calomel backward. Advt.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR
TRAINMEN.

Railroad managers opposing the
freight trainmen who are seeking an
eight-hour basis work day contend
that to comply with the demand would
entail an additional expense OF $500
OOO,OOO annually, and in their publlci-
ty campaign are emphasizing the
point that the public must eventually
bear the burden. The trainmen chal-
lenge this statement, and have pointed
out several ways in which railway rev.
enues could be conserved.
The railroad managers point to the
stocks and bonds of the roads and
endeavor to convince that the net
revenues do not permit of fair return
on the investment. A statement is
sued by the transportation brother
hoods publicity bureau tells side
of high financing the railroads ig-
more:
During the period of 19O0-19lO
ten Western railroads alone issued new
stock for $25O,5S4,961 less than its
market value, or practically gave
away this enormous amount in bon
uses to stockholders" says the state
ment:
"In other words, in addition to
cash dividends, together with appro-
priations to property and reserves fol
the benefit of stockholders, the stock
holders of these ten transportation
companies had conferred upon them II
the shape of rights to subscribe fol-
new stock issues at less than prevail
ing market prices, more than quar-
ter of billion dollars.
"Frcm the standpoint of the tinan
cial administration of the railroads
this method of finance also had al
added significance If the new stool
issues had been disposed of at mar
ket prices-the prices which coule
have been obtained in the open market
by these companies, if they had mo-
iven these special bonuses to stock
holders-they could have secured tht
same amount of cash by an issue O
$l73,122,79 less capital stock.
"1'he transportation companies
therefore, lost the use of this mucl
capital which they could otherwise
have had, or considered from anothe
angle, they increased their capita
stock unnecessarily $173,122,796 with
out adding a dollar to the earning ca
pacity of their properties.
"The dividends paid on these ficti
tious stock issues in 1913 alon
amounted to $11,276,495
During this same period of year
the same ten railroads gave away il
underwriting commissions $9,120,124
The total par value of funded debt is
sued by them for cash during thes
years was $S85,016,6s3.
"The cash proceeds were only $s4l
26,307; the market value of thes
bonds, however. was $3.50, 446, 431; an
the excess of market value of these sc
curities over the net proceeds to tn
railroad companies was $9,120,124.
"This amount represented an &C
tual loss to the railroads. Thes
transactions also represented an un
necessary increase in the funded deb

PRESS COMMENT.
The Spirit of the Times.

An official of the Westinghouse
company announces that since the
withdrawal of the English contract
for war munitions his company ex-
poets, within the next few months,
that the crews employed on the work
will be discharged, the factories erect
ed for that business dismantled, the
machinery sold and the attention of
the company given to other lines of
production for which fortunately i.
has long list of orders.
The big contract with the Westing-
house people and Great Britain for
shrapnel has been completed. The
subsequent contract has been held in
allegiance and has been, fer the time
being, withdrawn.
This indicates one of two things. 1t

NEGOTIATIONS Progress.

Washington, July 14.-The in
formal negotiations, for settlement of
the issues between the United States
and General Carranza are und r.
stood to have advanced a long step
today when Acting Secretary of State
Polk and Tliseo Arrendondo, Mexican
ambassador designate, held their thir j
conference since Carranza's proposal
for a diplomatic adjustment was re-
ceived and accepted. Although both
Mi. Polk and the Mexican ambassa-
dor declined to say what matters were
under discussion, there were indica-
items that the conversations had
passed into the definite stage where
specific questions were being formu-
lated for probable submission to a
joint International commission.

The Hector was commanded by
Capt. Joseph Newell.
Up to late tonight all efforts of the
navy wireless to ascertain whether
there had been less of life in the sink
ing Of the collie rhad been unavailing.
A series of calls for help from the
collier, stopping abruptly at p. M,
gave rise to grave fears for the safety
of those aboard, bht officials believe
there still was possibility that they
had escaped.
