bureau of Bedding predicts that the
home of Bertha Barnes will be in the
storm center Friday evening, May IL,
at eight o'clock. A high wind will
be accompanied with a shower (mis-
in honor of Mrs. Theodore
Waite Kiskey."
Not one of the young ladies failed
to accept and the good time enjoyed
was fully up to the merits of the in
vitation. Mrs. Kiskey received a
shower that was miscellaneous, but
all of value to fit into the new home,
and with many good wishes.
Mr.. Kiskey spirited his bride away
so quietly that the girls had no OPP
portunity for the pre-nuptial showers
and so the invitation of Miss Barnes
was carried out to the full letter as
Mrs. Kiskey holds a warm place in
the hearts of our young people.
After the Shower" refreshments
were served and most enjoyable
evening passed.

Flag of our home land, with mingled
emotion.
We gaze on your folds " hich unfurI

And pledge to your service our loyal
devotion
In the hush of storm cloud, the
awe Of a prayer.
Troubles that lower and dangers that
threaten
But make our hearts strong with
the courage to dare.
Dur past with its glory cannot be for
gotten
And faith paints the future with
promise more fair.
Inspire us with courage for strife or
endurance
And a passion for honor surmount-
ing our fears
May the God of all nations then guide
and protect us
And keep our fair emblem unstained
through the years.

Get All the SIeep You Can.

A well-known physician says in the American Magazine: "To avoid over- eating and alcohol and the cigarette habit are matters of self-control. To get the sleep one needs (which means all that one can possibly soak into ones system within 24 hours) often takes courage-the courage to refuse invitations, to invite ridicule, to seem odd or 'Puritanic.' believe that more minor illnesses are due to lack of sleep than to any other recognizable factor. A person catches cold, gets lumbago, is constipated or headache ridden be- cause his vitality is below par, his physical expenditure beyond his phys ical income. Sleep would set him square with the world, but to get sleep means sacrificing the evenings fun This he won't do, and so he runs in debt and is chronically edging toward breakdown"

What Can a Boy Dor

The industrial manager has failed often to recognize that the most diffi- cult of all educational problems is to find out what boy is fitted for. If the college could be sure of the boys capabilities, and if there could be any assurance that the requirements of the industrial field would be permanent, specialized instruction could be great ly extended. So long, however, as our knowledge of human beings remains as limited as it is at present, and So long as industrial conditions remain as kaleidoscope as they are, the college owes it to it's students to see that their training is such that, should they find themselves out of a position either be- cause of inaptitude in one line or be- cause of changed industrial conditions, they will have an educational founda- tion broad enough to build upon anew.

that peace is nearer than we know that the terms which the belligerents on the ono side and on the otheH
 would deem it necessary to insis upon are not so irreconciliablea as some have feared; that an interchange O. views would clear the way at leas for conference, and make perman ent concord of the nations hope ot the immediate future-a concert Oi nations immediately practicable"
 Started Note Week Ago.
 There are indications that Presi- dent Wilson began the preparation ol his note some time ago, probably even before the German proposal came out, and that the offer of the central powers and the succeeding ie velopments made more favorable opportunity for it's presentation. The fact that the president asked first only for a clarifaction of terms IS taken as indicating that he is not ex pectine an immediate conclusion. It is realized that much time mag be needed even to bring about the mere prelimnarieS Of a conference, and it is desired, therefore. to clear away a; many of those preliminaries as pos sible so that when the solution is near not a day of needless slaughter may be necessary.
 Just when the note was finished has not been disclosed but it is known that it went to the cables yes terday. On Monday the higher of- fcials of the state department were {o1- ;n{a mi 1nnfiInnpo o Everything indicates that it was to be sent regardless of anything Lloyd George might say.
 While German officials thoroly understand that President Wilson made it clear he was not in any sense offering mediation to the warning na- tioDs, it was declared that should the reach that stage, Ger many. being anxious 10 have the peaoe of Europe restored, willingly would agree on such procedure. Neither does it make any difference to Germany, fl was said whether the conference is composed of represen tatives of all the belligerents or just the coalitions. So far as Germany is concerned, the view held here is lIldt SHe VIII pc PelleClly Wiillii5 titI a committee of three, formed of a rep of the central powers, a representatives of the entente and a of the United States should conduct the preliminary dis cussion. The view prevails in Ger man quarters that all the belliger- ents will make some definite state ments in reply to the United States.

"BoomHt" Means Fifteen.

A strange set of numerals was used by the elder generation of farmers in one of our northern dales, especially for counting sheep. and the procedure was as follows: A gap was made in the wall just wide enough to admit one sheep at time, and as the sheep were driven through the farmer would count them, making notch in his stick at every fifteen. Theoretically the numerals sound like "yann, tane tether, mother, pip, sax, sane, caterer wheeler, dick, yann-er-dick, tane-er. dick, teth-er-dick, mether-er-dick, boom flt." '.Boomflt" was fifteen, and so a notch was made in the stick, and the strange chant began all over again. London Chronicle.

CAN NOW EAT POP. CORN AND BANANAS
Mrs. Westbrooks Says Her Little Daughter Was All ways Delicate Until She Began Taking Tanlac.

'1'm certainly very thankful for
 what Tanlac has done for my little
 daughter" said Mrs. J. P. Westbrooks, who lives at 260S Thirtieth avenue, North Birmingham, to the Tanlac rep
 resentative who had q lalled to see her l few days ago. My daughter
 been sufferer from indigestion and pains in her shoulders and in her
 chest for 9 long. long time; in fact,
 all her life. We have tried many
 doctors and most everything we could hear of, but they did not bring her
 any relief.
 "She was so nervous and unstruns and so rundown that don't believe
 she could have gone through the win ter. She couldn't eat hardly any
 thing at all. and sleep was impossible for her, and it was pitiful to see her in that condition, and to think, too.
 that we had done everything we cou]1 without any benefits from it. Especj ally in the summer months she would get in very rundown condition
 and would lose weight, and you. can see that she hasn't any too much weight to lose.
 q had read in the papers about Tanlac. and neigh5or who had
 taken it insisted that I get a bottle
 and give it to Ansel. After lot of persuasion I bought bottle and put
 her right on it, and it looked like from the first half of the bottle that it was the very thing she had needed. She has taken three bottles now, and am certainly thankful for what t has done for her. She sleeps just as we'll as could be at night, and eats everything she wants. She was eat ing ropeprn and bananas yesterday. and they did not seem to have any bad effect on her at all. She has gained little in weight and I believe that now she is eating and the food that she will gain steadily.
 "She does not seem to be bit nervous, and doesn't object to taking the Tanlac one bit. She is just as bright and cheerful as she can be, and it has made us all mighty happy about her recovery. and we are all glad to recommend Tanlac as being the medicine that has done what lots of other medicines failed to do. I am glad to say good word for it, and tell others of it's merits"
 Miss Ansel Westbrooks was in the room az the time, and remarked: eff I had thousand dollars would spend t all for Tanlac, because I feel so good and eat anything I want and can sleep SO good and sound at night. The public is warned against buy ing Tanlac from any Ather than regu- lar established agencies. Genuine Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff exclusive ly by the Central Pharmacy and bears the name of G. w. Willis and the Cooper Medicine Co. There is Tan
 lac dealer in every town.

Ancient HBlue LaWs."

The term "Connecticut Blue Laws" has generally been applied to set of laws passed by the general court of New Haven in 1644, "A years after the landing of the Pilgrims. The members of the New Haven court were Puritans. That was a period of severe penalties, and even Virginia had law, passed in 1910! providing that "what man or woman soever shall rob any garden, public or private, heinz set to weed the same, or wilfully pluck up therein any root, herb or flower, to spoil and waste or steal the same. or rob any vineyard or gather up the grapes or steal any ears of corn growing, shall be punished with death."
