WANT 0sAGE ORANGE TIMBER.
Large Concern Wants Car Lots for
 Manufacturing Pipes.

Little Rock, May There is a great demand for osage orange or bois dare timber. Commissioner John II. Page yesterday received a letter from an extensive pipe man. ufaeturer of Richmond Hill, N. r., inquiring about the supply in the state, and stating that a large quan- tity is being bought for the manu- facture of pipes. Persons having this wood in carload lots may write Co Wm. DeMuth X Co.,. Richmond. Va, giving dimensions of the timber.
 II is not believed there are any large areas of the timber in the state, and because of its scarcity the wood has become quite valuable. In the early settlement of the state it was used quite extensively for hedges and in this manner has be- come quite well distributed. espe- clally through the hill sections of North Arkansas.

CARE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH.
Medicines Can't Be Trusted to Re.
 store the Wrecked Body.
rom me Detroit Tree Press.

From the Detroit Free Press,
 Dr. Krusen, who is in charge of the public health department of Philadelphia, recently warned the public that medicines play really a minor part in the treatment of dis ease, and added.
 Tradition. custom and the med
 icine man" have been largely re-
 sponsible for the extensive use of
 drugs. There are many people
 who still believe that illness re-
 quires the immediate use of med
 ieines and that there are some
 mysterious or miraculous quail
 ties in them which drive away the evil spirits of fever.
 lndiscretion in diet. overdrinh-
 ing, careless habits and improper
 living cannot be corrected by talk
 ing the contents of the eOrked
 medicine bottle As a matter of
 fact the number of drugs which
 are considered as specifics for de-
 finite diseases may be counted on
 the fingers of one hand.
 These are sober words from a scientific authority. a man trained in the use of drugs in the treatment of disease. Those individuals who are recklessly riskine health in the of unwise indulgences and who are quieting their consciences and fears with the belief that if they do wreck their health they will be able to buy it back with the phy- sieian's assistance will do we'll to wake up to the facts.
 Medicines are not omnipotent. The physician is not omniscient. Not all disease is conquerable. Not all folly can be cured by a dose or two from some mysterious bottle. Health is a fragile treasure requir- ing constant ,watchfulness, ceaseless caution

MORE OF THE ANCIENT MOUNDS
H. G. Ferguson Tells of the Marks
 Left by a Forgotten Race.
To The Star. Mena. Ark.

To The Star, Mena, Ark.
 While working on the farm of Ali Maddox in the fall of 1913, my atten- tion was called by him to the many and varied mounds on the Maddox and Lawrence farms.
 Some of these mounds are of large dimensions, and the dirt composing them has been moved many feet to where the mounds are built, some of them to 6 feet high and cover ing as much as from Il to F acre of ground At a considerable dis tance from the mounds are to be found a number of holes of large size. which leads to the conclusion that,the dirt has been taken from the holes to build the mounds. There are many of these holes and mounds to be found in this section of Vest ern Montgomery county.
 Mr. Maddox showed the writer a number of bits of pottery, shells. arr row heads and many bones. and one day requested the writer to take a pick and shovel and dig into one of the largest mounds and see what might be discovered.
 l went to work with pick and shovel and dug from the outer walls a cut from 1 F to ? feet in width ond something like i or feet deep un- til dug to the center of the mound. Then l went down through loose dirt While digging away I found many broken bits of pottery, bright shells, beads and stones. have seen many curious looking pieces of pot tery and many other things that have been taken from the different mounds by different people. Most of these mounds are located on the southern shores of the Ouachita riv- CT near the mouth of Rates creek. about 1l2 miles south of the little town of Waters. I would like some one to tell what particular race of people built these mounds. and to what age they belong. Were they the race known as Mound Builders or the American Indians? Do these mounds hold buried treasurers other than the things that have already been found?

citizens Of this city whose property it
now is, it contains many important
items Of interest. In the eleven years
since the District took over the works
it has not only secured and put into
use one Of the best If not the very
best supplies Of pure water in the State,
but it now has the entire area extend
ing back 500 feet from the lake on all
possible opportunity for contamination
An analysis shows that the water is
practically pure.
For some years now resort to Cob

Notwithstanding the calls for i'm
provements and extensions all has been
done out of the earnings and sinkinr
fund has been provided, amounting to
about 100000 as well. This will be
continued and no increase in rates will
be necessary or is anticipated as sur
plus income will be utilized for this
purpose. The annual income has in
creased over $4,000 the past yeal
above what it was in 1906. The entire
cost Of the works up to this time is
$916.000 but at the rate the sinking
