sas Livestock Growers Association.
Twenty-One hundred youthful farm
ers who belong to the pig clubs OF
The state and are working under the
supervision OF II. X. Sanders will be
given a chance TO place their pigs in
competition at that time The Duroc,
Poland.China, Berkshire and Hamp-
shire associations have sinified their
intention OF giving attractive prizes
to the winners at the state contest.
At this contest the prize pig from each
county having pig club will be on
exhibition. In order TO decide upon
the prize pig, there will be II prelimi-
nary contest in each county at which
the pig club boys of the county cIuD
will exhibit their pigs and compete
with each other for the place as their
county representative at the Little
Rock show. The winners will un.
dOubtedly accompany their pigs and
be on hand to explain the methods of
hog raising which already have at
tracted statewide attention among the
adult agriculturists in every section
Of Arkansas. The contest is not only
sure to be of interest TO parents and
friends, but to all livestock fanciers,
because the pigs which will be brought
to Little Rock will be selected from
at least 2,100 of the best pigs in the
state and 1,S00 of these are registered
animals with recognized blood strains
and parentage.

ARKANSAS IN BRIEF.

The University of Arkansas has
been requested to recommend from
among its graduates several men for
positions as private secretaries for
college presidents and superintend-

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. M. PIERCE, M. d.

The subject OF drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means Of X-rays, the observations Of
scientists such MS Cannon, Grutzner,
pavlov, Fowler Hawk, prove that an
abundance Of water taken during d.
gestion Is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back Of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty OF pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times day.
Apurlc acts much more quickly than
lithia. Many find It dissolves uric acid
rs water does sugar.
