100000 men killed in the present
war, what will be the cost in loss OF

'Ah," said the North Illinois street
doctor to the patient, as he examined
his arm, 1T is only boil, and you

Now, all you have to do," said the
doc - "'N 70 take this prescription to

plaster. Place the plaster above the
boil, and it'll draw the boil to a head
in jiffy."
Two days later the patient presented
himself again to the doctor. NO

why, man." said the doctor, "the
plaster isn't on the boil at all It's

FRANK A. TERRY SAYS ROSTER
OF so MEN is PRACTICALLY
COMPLETE.
NO ARMORY APPROPRIATION
One Machine Gun Company With Each
Regiment Of Infantry in the
Army Is Allowed BY War
Department.

Little Rock
Frank A. Terry, Little Rock attor-
ney, will begin the organization Of one
Of the machine gun companies to be
added TO the Arkansas National
Guard. The company will be organ
lied as soon as negotiations are COM
pleted for an armOry. Practically all
the so men needed to make up the
company have signified their willing
ness TO be mustered in, Mr.. Terry
said.
The company will be made up OF
young professional men in Little Rock,
who are likely to remain here perma-
nently," he said. Because there is no
appropriation for the rent for an ar
mory we are having difficulty in Sc
curing one We need an armory that
will accommodate 16 mules that will
be needed for the four machine guns"
The addition of machine gun compa'
niles to the guard is of great import
ance, staff officers say. Machine guns
have played an important part in the
European war and the Arkansas
guard has been handicapped because
it has no men trained to man machine
guns. There are two gatling guns at
the state arsenal, but they are out OF
date. Calling guns have several bar
rels which revolve in firing. They
fire from six to nine shots in quick
succession, but must be reloaded af'
ter each discharge Modern machine
guns fire cartridges from long belt.
While one belt is being fired others
can be loaded This type Of gun fires
about 600 shots a minute. One ma
chine gun company is sent with each
regiment of infantry in the army and
equipment for one machine gun com
pany for each militia is allowed by
the War Department.
Company E, First Regiment, located
at Little Rock, will face 4 serious con-
dition when the old municipal audi
torium, now used as it's armory is
torn down in May. The City Council
has condemned the building. The com
pany pays no rent for the armory and
there is no appropriation for rent.

AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless "flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched You cannot get fat un-
til your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
There is preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies th missing
elements needed by the dig stive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood This modern
treatment IS called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest Of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through regen-
erative, re-ovnstructive powers to coax
the stomach and intestines to literally
soak up the fatten'ng elements of
your food and pass them into the
blood, where ey are carried to the
starved, broken-down cells and tissues
Of your body. You can readily picture
what result this amazing transforma.
tion should produce as with increased
weight the cheeks fill out, hollows
about neck. shoulders and bust disap-
pear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid,
healthy flesh is added to the body. Sar.
gol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive,
efficient. Glen Thistlethwaite's five
stores and other leading druggists Of
this vicinity have it and will refund
your money if you are not satisfied, as
per the guarantee found l. every pack
age.

How to Easily Shed
That Bad Complexion

We cannot restore degenerated fac.
ial tissue any more than we can re.
store lost limb. 1t is useless to at.
tempt to convert worn-out complex
ion into new one. The rational pro-
cedure is to remove the complexion
instead-remove the devitalized Gu.
ticle- Not by surgical means, how.
ever, as the underlying cults Is too
thin, too tender, to withstand immedi.
etc exposure. Applying ordinary merco.
lized wax will gradually absorb the Of.
tending cuticle. BY degrees, a new,
youthful skin appears; soft and deli
cately tinted as rose petal.
No lady need hesitate to try this.
Procure an ounce Of mercolized wax of
the druggist. Spread on a thin layer
before retiring, removing this in the
morning with soap and water. In ten
days to two weeks the complexion is
completely transformed.
An approved treatment for wrinkles
is provided by dissolving an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint of
witch hazel. Bathing the face in the
solution brings prompt and remarkable
results.-Popular Medicine.-Adv..
