WIFE OF GEORG|ARY, ENGINEER GAINED
 TWENTY-FIVE LBS,
6. G. Geiger Says His Wife Suffered with Rheuma- tism for Years-TalIlac Entirely 0vercones the Trouble.

"Ianlac has not only relieved my wlle o1 very severe attack of rheu- matism, but she has actually gained twenty-five t25) pounds since she be-
 gan taking the medicine" said NIT. G. G. Geigel, residing at 133 East Linden Street, Atlanta. Ga, for number of years empolyed as engineer by the Georgia railroad
 "l don't believe l ever saw anyone suffer with rheumatism as much as she did," continued Mr. Geiger in his state ment to the Tanlac representative, Sometimes her feet would swell so she couldn't get her shoes on The pains in her arms were so great at times she would remark that they felt like they were about to drop off. She had severe headaches, and was dizzy and nervous all the time and unable to sleep well at night. Her appetite failed her and she lost great deal in weight and strength. She some times got so bad off she would have to go to bed and stay for weeks at a time. When she wasn't in bed she felt so tired and played-out she was never able to look after her house. work.
 "She tried all kinds of medicine, but nothing seemed to do her much good, and when 1 began to hear so much talk about Tanlac, 1 just made up my i mind to lay all the other medicines aside and put her on Talac.
 "She has now finished her fourth
 bottle and she is like different wom- an. The rheumatism has been entirely relieved; she doesn't have the head ache any more, is no longer nervous like she used to be, and she sleeps like baby. She has splendid ap- petite and has been gaining strength
 and weight right along, and, as 1 have already told you, she has gained
 twenty-five pounds. She is full of life and energy now. and is looking after the housework like she hadn't ever
 been sick.
 "I tell you. it's just wonderful the
 way this medicine has helped her, for 1 she was almost a nervous wreck when
 she started taking it. I'll never be
 able to tell you how thankful l am l for what it has done for her, and Pm
 recommending it to all my friends.
 Many of them have already begun talk
 ing it on my recommendation"
 The public is warned against buy | ing Tanlac from any other than regu- lar established agencies. Genuine 1 Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff exclusive | ly by the Central Pharmacy and bear 5

Guard Faces Crisis.

The Arkansas national guard is in imminent danger. It is confronting crisis. Unless something desperate is done to save the situation, the two regiments are in danger of being dis banded after their return from the border and muster out of the service. because of the withdrawal of federal support due to failure to meet the rigid requirements of the national defense act.
 During the past four years the fed eral government has expended upon the militia of Arkansas total of '$2O4,0Oo. Following the presidents call on June s, last. 2,01S men of the national guard assembled here, but only 1,20S were accepted and are now in the federal service at Demlng, New Mexico. It costs the government $l,- 900 per man per year in the regular service. and it is estimated that by Jan. i, 1917, it will have cost the gov ernment $1,208,000 for their mainten- ance. or twice the cost of an equal number of regulars. This makes the total investment by the federal gov" ernment of $1,412,000 iH the Arkansas national guard in four years and half.
 The military bureau of the war de- partment have given instructions that no company will be recognized win less than a minimum of 65 men. Com many E of the first is the only unit Ill the two regiments that meets that re- ouirement. It follows that unless 23 of the companies are recruited to the 65 minimum, recognition by the gen. eral government will be withdrawn and disbandment will be the neceS- sary result. as the funcs provided Dy the state are insufficient for the maintenance of the organization. Furthermore, the requirements of the national defense act will make 1t much more difficult to reorganiAe rew companies of the guard.
 Considering all these facts, 1t 's clear that the government is on the verge of losing all that has been m vested here, by failing to solve the recruiting problem. One high mlll, tarv authority makes the statement that "1t is useless 10 attempt te solve the recruiting problem in this state without recognizing the lac, that there was a general feeling thai tho regular army officers were undu iv harsh in their methods and eVl'

Lttle Rock, Nov. Although the oeleat of Act No. 2, branded by many as the most pernlcious piece of legis- latlon ever proposed in the state.

 Among the laws that will be pro. posed in the next legislature will be one to hmit the amount of liuuor. alcoholic and otherwise, that can Dc shlpped into the state to any one pur~ snaser darlns stated period. There has been law of this character in oregon, and by the recent election even the limited importation Of liauor has been prohibited into that state.
 lAquor shops ill Louisiana, Tennes sec, and Missouri have been doing a tnrlVlng business in Arkansas. The express companies and railroads have oeen bringing in great quantities. In some places ordinances have been proposed or passed providing for in- spection fees on shipments of liquor. such law was declared unconstitl- tional after collections had been made on it in Batesville for some months. It had been suggested in Little Rock, but hns never been attempted by the council. It is probable that bill will he introduced in the legislature permitting municipalities to levy such a tax. The decisive vote on the liquor act last week has demonstrated that prohibition is popular in Arkansas. It is the cleanest-cut victory that has ever been won for prohibition in the state, and the slogan. Let the Peo- pie Rule" has been thoroughly vindi- cated

 It has been suggest I'd that the re- cruiting plan hitherto tried be aban- doned, and that the recruiting of the two regiments be resumed under the direct control of the adjutant-general of the state, under direction of the general commanding the Southern department IL has been estimated that an expenditure of 10000. judi ciously made, will be sufficient to arouse interest in the militia after the return from the border, so that the organization may be held intact and increased to the maximum re- ouired under the defense act.

Failure to Accept Franchise Leads to Belief That Plan
 Will Be Dropped.

Not q linc of any nature was re- ccivcd yesterday by the city officials from George E. Blanchard. president of the Pine Bluff, Hot Springs & Western railway, altho yesterday was the final day allowed the company 10 designate positively and definitely which of several routes thru e.ty streets and alleys it would choose, for it's right of way into the city.
 As q result, the matter automatic ally lapsed. and the company now holds no franchise of whatsoever na- turc, from the city. All that the con- pany has ts d contract for the nSc of the free bridge at q fixed graduat- ing scale of rentals, providing its railroad is actually built and operat ing within a certain specified period Of time.
 Failure of the company to take ac- ton which would continue the life of it's franchise with the city was not a surprise to many local men. who had watched carefully the conditions in- volved It vas known that the com pany had counted strongly on belng able to get a considerable business from the bauXite mines at BanXite, and when. some months ago. special dock facilities were installed by the Rock Island at Memphis. to handle this particular business. the opinion was formed here that the end of the Pine Bluff. Hot Springs X Western was thereby written. The banxitd business was apparently the main ob ject of the proposed railroad, and with it gone elsewhere, there was no other incentive for the new road. 1t has even been mentioned that the new road was never a serious proposition. being q big stick" to force better terms for the bauXite people from the old trunk lines.

RECORD PRICE FOR LAMBS.
266 Head Averaging 95 Pounds Sell
for $11.75 Per Hundred.

A record price for lambs was re-
ceived yesterday on the Kansas City
live stock market when 266 head.
averaging ninety-four pounds, were
sold ut $1l.T5 per hundred. They
were shipped by the Emporia Eleva-
tor and Feed Company, of Emporia,
Kas. Another high sale was that of
$50 lambs. averaging seventy-three
pounds, at SLIGO.
Even at these high prices, the re-
ceipts of sheep were light. Live
stock men see no reason to believe
that the sheep market will fall off
to any extent. and would not be sur
prised to note even higher prices than
were recorded yesterday. Other high
sales yesterday were at S11.35 and
$11.25.
The above from the Kansas City
Journal of Nov. IL, is only another
one of the many proofs being given
throughout the country of the profit
in live stock and ought to spur on
ward those who abe turning their at
t%ention to stock raising in Mississip-
pi. Sheep used to be- raised here
profitably; why not now?
