new CONSTITUTION
Is PSYCHOL LOGICAL Time
10 Frame New Fundamental Law for
State, New Governor
Believes.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-The move
ment for new constitution has been
given great impetus by the unquali-
fled endorsement of DR.. Brough. He
has openly declared that he is in
favor Of calling a constitutional con-
vention, and there is heard no pro-
nounced opposition to it in any quar-
ter.
There are many interests that will
advocate the movement, and it is gen
orally conceded that now is the psy-
Geological time. Governmental condi-
tions in the state were never upon a
higher plane. Principles of morality
and progress are in the ascendancy,
prosperity reigns in the state and
never before. and there is an era of
good will that will bring out the best
there is in the people. Many reforms
and changes that are needed cannot
be secured by the present restructed
and cumbersome system of amending
the constitution.
1t is not announced who will intro
duce the BILL but that one or more
will be introduced early in the session
is assured. And that it will pass is
almost a certainty.

GROWERS FAVOR
TICK ERADICATION

BY rising vote this afternoon
nearly 100 livestock growers of
Faulkner county unanimously voiced
their approval of a proposition for an
immediate enforcement of the tick
eradication law in this county, with
the purpose of placing the county
above the cattle quarantine law by
the end of 1917.
The vote was taken following short
talks by Representative Lee Cazort
of Johnson county, author of the tick
eradication law, and several repre-
sentatives of the United States de-
partment of agriculture forces. The
government was represented by DR..
M. Gregory and DR.. J. E. Gibson of
the department of animal husbandry
and w. A. Denman of the extension
forces.
The meeting was not begun until
after 2 o'clock and had not been con-

who died intestate in 1897, leaving
as his sole heir his son Gun Garner,
father of the plaintiff. Gun Garner,
the complaint alleges, occupied the
land as a homestead until his death
in 1901, when his son, the plaintiff, ,
was an infant. The lands were sold
for taxes in 1906 and other years
and went through various transfers,
the complaint sets out. The plain
tiff alleges that the value of all back
taxes and improvements has been
rendered to the defendant, who re-
fused to accept it and release the
land, and, on the ground that the tax
sales occurred during the minority of
the plaintiff, the court is asked to
render judgment in his favor for the
land. The rental value, the COM
plant declares, is $500 per year.
w. L. Whitten has fled suit in
chancery court asking judgment on
a note of $3.50 alleged to be due by

RACE COLORING DUE TO FOOD
Diet Of Various Peoples Said to. Be
Real Cause of the Difference in
Hue of Skin.

Certain authorities hold that the pig
mentation of the races is due to feed
ing. 1t is pointed out that in the ami
NAL world color is often determined BY
food, and 1t is contended that by cnem-
ical process the same results are shown
in the different human races.
According to this theory, the original
man was black, since his chief diet
must have been vegetarian. Fruit and
vegetables contain manganates that
ally themselves with iron, constituting
"dark brown combination"
Negroes who add meat and milk to
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only vege-
tables.
Indians are red, 1t appears. because
they have absorbed for generations
haemoglobin, the red substance in the
blood of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason Of the
fact that they are descended from
dark fruit-eating races who penetrated
into the plains Of Asia, became shep-
herds, and lived to great extent on
milk, which contains chlorine and has
bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still whittier by adding salt
to their dietary. Common salt is
strong chloride and a powerful agent
in bleaching the skin. The effect can
be seen, 1t is declared, in the case of
negro children who have been reared
on white" dietary. They are never
so black as their kindred who have
not abandoned vegetarianism.

When Maxine Jam,

When making jam or marnalade try
the following, much asier way
than the old-fashioned one. which re-
quires great amount of stirring: Pre-
pare the fruit as usual when making
jelly, and after boiling it just long
enough to release the juice pour 1t into
a colander and let it stand five or ten
minutes. Remove the juice which has
run through, and after working the
pulp through put three cupfuls of
the juice and the same amount of
sugar into large shallow pan. Allow
this to boil violently until it will jell
when tested. Then add one and one
half cupfuls Of the pulp and One-half
cupful of sugar. Stir while this bolts
about five or eight minutes and it is
done. The result is the same as that
obtained by the old method, and the
work is not one-third as great and
there is much less danger of scorching.

The Mountain Ash,

Long ago people believed in witches
and evil spirits, who were going about
the country doing harm. They also
believed that the rowan (mopntain
ASH had some charm to do away with
their evil powers.
So all the maidens wore the scarlet
berries of the rowan in their hair, and
the young men carried canes made
from the branches Of the same tree.
The housewife hung branches of the
berries over her doorway, while her
good man hung the same about his
barns and stables, so the witches could
have no power over his sheep and cat
tie and horses.
For the same purpose they kept
great hoop Of rowan branches.
Through this they made the young
calves and lambs jump. This act was
intended to keep sickness and death
away from them-at least the good
man thought so. Every animal had
to jump through the hoop whether he
wanted to or not, for the good man
switched his legs with a rowan switch
until the jumping was accomplished.

Increasing the Workers Efficiency.

Probably the greatest problem which
confronts the American public utility,
and in fact all, corporations, is how to
bridge the chasm caused by the en-
forced increase in the cost Of material
and labor and the decreased price for
which the product must be sold. Vari-
Gus eXpedients have been tried, some
Of which have proven of material ad-
vantage. The holding company has
been instrumental in effecting better
methods of financing and managing,
while at the same time it has estab-
lished more economical methods of op-
Grafton; but in the last analysis, a
higher type of efficiency on the part
of labor must be continually striven
for by all successful corporations, and
how to obtain this increased efficiency
is problem that calls for unrelenting
study-"Insuring Thousands of Pub
lie Service Employees" w. G. Jenk-
ms, in National Magazine.

MAKER OF MISCHIEF
CARELESS TALKER is OFTEN
CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
Most Misunderstanding Are Result OF
Exaggerated Reports Due to Aver
age Persons Inability to Give
Accurate Descriptions.

The inability to give accurate de-
scriptions is not to be counted vice.
That is a fault frequently due to i'm
perfect development of the powers of
observation or of memory. 1t should
be recognized as such, and measures
taken to correct it by the cultivation
of such powers as will enable those
who possess them to accurately report
to others what they have seen or
what they have heard. Most people re-
spect truth and desire to be truthful,
but very few worship truth, as they
should, by efforts to reach it in their
intercourse with their fellowmen. AS
much mischief may be done in society
by a merely careless talker with a
poor memory who does not intend to
do any harm as by malignant liar
who spreads false stories with the in
tent to deceive.
Indeed, the majority of misunder
standings and anOmosities that arise
in the intercourse of men may be
traced to exaggerated or misleading
reports of what one has said about the
other. It Is not so much what is said
as the manner and spirit of the re-
mark, that should be conveyed, and
one who Is incapable of correctly re-
porting the spirit of u conversation
should refrain from attempting to con-
vey it to another. The exact words
may be reported in such way as to
convey false impression, or the spirit
of the remark may be correctly given
without the use of the exact words.
This fact is clearly recognized by
sharp lawyers, who, when the testi-
mony is injurious to them, will not
/ allow a. witness to, give the substance
of conversation so as to convey a
true conception of its spirit, but insist
upon the exact words spokeA-i knowing
that in the effort to give them the
witness will be very likely to obscure
or distort their meaning.-Irish World.

crumbs, drop two or three pieces of
butter on these, pour over all one cup
full of cream or rich milk and bake I'M
til the crumbs are a rich golden brown.
