HOW PINEAPPLE juice
and PEPSIN RELIEVES
STOM 4CH TROUBLED

The juice of pineapples contains
ferments used by the stomach in the
digestion of food. Pepsin is sup
piled by every stomach, but many
times in insufficient quantities. These
tive when combined with the other
ingredients in Natol Pineapple Pepsin
Compound furnish to the stomach
exactly the right proportion to digest
the food. Strong laxatives are an
injury and are not needed where the
food is properly digested.
Natol Pineapple Pepsin Compound
is not a patent medicine but cor
receive and assistant in overcoming
all stomach troubles. One bottle
(50) is usually enough to give per-
manent relief. Greeson Drug Co.

Ordinance Amending Dray License
Ordinance to Include Motor

The city council last night award
ed to R. T. Markham the garbage or
scavenger contract for the next cal
endar year, after examining the of
fers of six bidders. Mr.. Markham
had previously had the same contract.
His rate for service will be practic-
ally the same as those now in effect.
The council passed an ordinance
amending the dray license ordinance,
making it apply to motor truc's, as
we'll as to horse-drawn vehicles. The
time of paying licenses was also
changed from November to January
/ or July of each year.
An ordinance requiring the laying
of concrete sidewalks along certain
streets in the city, introduced at the
previous meeting of the council, was
read the second time
The council discussed the matter of
requiring all boarding houses and ho-
tells install sewer connections, and
while no ordinance to this effect was
introduced, it was practically agreed
that such measure would be passed
at an early date. Ine council has
had this, as well as the matter Of ex-
tending the district within which sew
er connections are obligatory, under
consideration since last spring, but on
account of unfavorable financial CON
ditions at that time it was decided to
defer action until later.

of the legislature of 1915, this law
itself exempting a number of coun-
ties (but not Faulkner) from its pro-
visions. Our opinion would be that
the legislature might repeal or amend
this act in any way it desired and
might enact a law abolishing the
stock district in Faulkner county if
it so desired.
As to the second question, the fact
that the vote of Cadron township out
side of the city of Conway was cast
in the same box with the Second ward
of Conway, makes it impossible to
determine absolutely whether the
city's vote gave the stock law its
majority. The proposition, however,
would have lost by small majority
in the other seven townships outside
of Cadron.

DECLARES STOCK LAW
A sign OF PROGRESS
Greenbrier Man Says Measure Should
be Allowed to Stand-Questious
Answered.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
We have noticed in the columns of
the Log Cabin Democrat that citi-
zens of some of the eight townships
constituting district No l of the
stock law enacted in the election of
November are holding meetings at
various places for the purpose of
putting petition before the people
which will ask the legislature which
meets soon to repeal the law and dis
solve district No. /.
We would like to ask the Log
Cabin Democrat if the legislature
has any right to repeal law enact
ed under the referendum act, also
it would be of general interest if you
will state whether or not the stock
law carried in district No. /, outside
of the vote polled in the city of Con-
way.
1t has been stated by representa-
tive men of some of the states that
if there were one thing Arkansas
needs more than she needs any other
it is a spirit of aggressiveness in the
minds of her citizens. Does it not
seem that this statement is true
when we consider that, notwithstand
ing the fact that Arkansas has been
state for so years, AZ of the states
are ahead of US in educational ad-
vantages? Is it not a truth that
we have been slow to accept all prop
ositions that have come before the
people which would affect the vitals
of the spirit of aggressiveness among
us? And have we not suffered loss
by such actions? Are we not at least
so years behind our time when com
pared with our neighbor states?
The stock law was made by the
people and for the people and why
should it not stand? 1t is an ag
gressive step and one which, no doubt,
would benefit the populace if allow
ed to stand as enacted.
| am sure the readers of the Log
Cabin Democrat would appreciate it
if you will kindly answer the first
two questions asked in this article.
Wishing the Log Cabin Democrat |
and its readers prosperous and ag-
gressive new year.

party they were entitled to recogni-
ton. u. L. Babler, State chairman,
and former Gov. Herbert S. Hadley
were indorsed as two Of the delegates
to the national convention. The con-
yention also pledged its support to
L. D. Thompson of New Bloomfield, a
native son, who is a candidate. for
State Treasurer.
No Endorsements were made as to
President or Governor because Of
chaotic conditions in the party, it was
lexplained.
