PEPSIN AND IRON.-..
AND SARSAPA RILLA
| Magnificent combination-Finest
Course Of Spring Medicine.

Physicians and pharmacists have
long known the Inability of COM
bining iron-a superlative tonic-in a
blood purifying, building-up medicine.
The combination Of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been Sc
cured through the happy thought of
prescribing Peptiron Pills to be taken
in connection with the Sarsaparilla-
one before eating, the other after.
In this way the two medicines work
together most tremendously and
beneficially, each experimenting the
other and giving four-fold result in
od-cleansing and up-building.
Peptiron Pills also include pepsin
besides iron-note the name, Pept-
iron Pills-manganese and other
tonics.
What better course of medicine and
you imagine for Spring? You get
blood purifying, appetite giving, liver
stimulating qualities in Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and great tonic properties in
Peptiron Pills.
Buy these medicines today.-Adv.

FOREST NOTES

The increase in the demand for potash
has resulted in a number Of inquiries OF
Government officials concerning the
amount Of this chemical contained in
wood ashes which may be available at
saw mills operating on the National For
ests.
The waste products Of sawmills in the
United States including that fed to the
furnaces as fuel is estimated to be &c.
ooc.ooo cords per year, and the equivalent
Of ESQ 900 cubic feet Of solid wood
substance. About half Of it has no use
whatever but is usually burned to get rid
of it.
The chestnut blight has already done
damage estimated as close to $4,000. 600.
The disease attacks both AMERICAN and
European species but does little damage
to those from Japan and China. Plant
breeders by crossing japanese chestnut
and native chinquapin have produced re.
sistant trees. Some Of the Chinese chest
nuts are said to grow 100 feet high in
their home forests.
The annual losses Of livestock on the
National Forest ranges Of the West due
to predatory animals are over 1000. An
organized campaign is now going on to
exterminate these animals. Wolves are
responsible for about 70 per cent. Of the
cattle losses. while bears cause most of
the remainder. Approximately rs ner
cent. of the sheep losses are due to COW
otes. 70 per cent. to bears, and 5 ner
cent. to lynxes and wild cats. Mountain
lions are charged with killing only a few
head Of cattle and sheep.

MORE HOPEFUL SPIRIT IN AR.
KANSAS FLOOD CITIES-RE-
LIEF WORK GOES ON.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 7.-At Ar
kansas City and Lake Village, in
southeastern Arkansas, both of which
are submerged in the great lake
formed by flood waters pouring
through broken Arkansas river levees
and menaced by the Mississippi river
flood, the situation was reported
more hopeful tonight. At Arkansas
City levee engineers declared that the
Mississippi river embankment will
withstand stage of 57.5 feet. The
prediction is for 81 feet. Tonight
the gauge registered $50 feet.
At Lake Village the flood waters
rose a foot today, but it is believed
they will go but little higher. A re-
lief committee working out of Lake
Village is bringing in marooned fam
lilies from the rural districts. At
Dumas, Gould and Warner and other
places on the western edge of the
lake formed by the inland hood wa
tiers, the water fell considerably dur
ing the day.
A special train from Dermitt today
rescued all the inhabitants from the
village of HALEY, which is flooded.
Sheriff Frank Milwee at Clarendon,
submerged by the breaking of the
White river levee Saturday night, to-
day repeated his call for assistance.
He said food and fuel are running
low. About $50 persons left the
city in boats today and 100 are on
the government boat Quapaw, which
was sent from Devalls Bluff. More
than 800 persons remain in Claren-
don and arrangements are being
made to send food, fuel and clothing
from Little Rock and nearby towns.
The plant of the Clarendon Lum-
Der company caught fire and burned
today.
The relief train sent out from Lit
tie Rock, which was at Warner to-
night, will return to Pine Bluff to-
morrow, where steamer will 60
chartered and the party will go down
to the mouth of the river with sup
plies for the flood sufferers.
Forty negroes who have been hud-
died in a school house near Warner
for two days without food were
rescued.
A report from Lake Village to-
night reported several hundred ref
ugees huddled on a narrow strip of
levee in urgent need of food and
shelter. Some are said to be i'll as a
result of exposure. A telegram was
sent to Washington today appealing
for federal aid.
More than 1000 refugees are ma
rooned near Pendleton with only
meagre food supplies, according to a
telegram sent by j. G. Cross, plan

No New Demands.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Secretary
Lansing today fatty denied that new
demands had been made in the Lusi-
tania case at time when the Ger
man government considered the ne,
gotiations practically were at an end.
He was speaking of Berlin dispatches
quoting the references by DR.. Zim-
norman, German under secretary Of
foreign affairs, to "new demands"
"This government" said Secretary
Lansing, "has not increased the de-
mands made in the Lusitania case as
set forth in the notes of May 18th,
June 9 and July 21. I doubt if DR..
Zimmerman ever made the statement
that new demands had been injected,
because he must know that it is ut
terly false"
Secretary Lansing would not 60 in
to details or discuss DR.. Zimmer-
mann's statement further. When DR.
Zimmermann's statement was pub
lished in this country, however, his
reference to- new demands was taken
to apply to a possible construction on
the word "illegal' in the proposed
settlement. The only ground Ameri-
can officials could find for constituting
that as embodying a new demand was
the possibility that it might be con-
sidered applicable not alone to the
destruction of neutrals on the Lusi-
tania but also as to the method by
which she was sunk.
