of sharpers IN Philadelphia to the tune
OF $4,000 in ready cash The story
as told here to-day is substantially as
follows: Through friend ne met with
several parties who had a big scheme
OH hand. They claimed to have pur-
chaser for the Curle's Neck Farm. on
James River. the price of which was
sl.3oo.00o. The proposition was to Sc
cure an option on the farm by putting
up 100000 in cash, and then sell the
option 20 the would-be purchaser for
100000. The scheme was made very
plausible. The parties were to put up
100000 OF the amount and their vic
tim $4,000, and to share proportion
ate!y in the profits. 1t was arranged
that they should meet in Philadelphia
and close the deal

In the hospital were several other
patients, one of whom, an old man, is
suffering from cancer. The other pa
tents were all in separate rooms.
The hospital has dumb waiter,
which is connected with the kitchen
and an electric stove upon which the
nurse prepares the foods necessary for
her invalid patients who need special
attention.
In the county building there are ID
inmates on the first floor and seven

9S years, and who in the sunset of

any, declaring that medicine is not
sood for anyone, but that sage tea is
the natural remedy for man and will
cure anything
Sage was born at Pittsburg, Pa, on
April Is, 1918. He crossed the plains
with small party who drove bull
teams and in the year 1912 settled in
California. He had been there but

THREE new LAWS
TO BE SUBMITTED
Primary Law, Higher School
Tax and Liquor Law Seem
Assured Others Probable

Former Congressman S.
Brundidge of Searcy will at
once place in circulation peti-
tions to initiate new primary
election law, designed toinusre
honest elections. The proposed
bill is essentially the same as
that which was defeated by
the last Legislature, after it
had been endorsed,in principle,
by the preceding state conven-
ton of the Democratic party,
and drafted by a committee of
representative men appointed
by that convention.
The educational interests of
the state will at once enter up
on a campaign in favor of the
proposed amendment increas-
ing the maximum of the school
tax that may be voted by
any district from 7 to L mills.
This was enthusiastically en-
dorsed by the State Teachers
Association last week. 1t is
pointed out that the adoption
of this amendment would not
in itself increase the taxes of
the people, since the amount to
be voted is optional with each
district. It would only enable
those districts which desire to
do SO to vote any amount up
to twelve mills for school pur-
poses.
There are rumors that an eff
fort will soon be made to init
ate the repeal of the statewide
prohibition law, the saloon adj
voctes being encouraged in
their stand by the large vote
cast for Judge L. c. Smith,
whose platform was frankly

CALOMEL SAL|VATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a

There's no reason why person should
take siekening, salivating calomel when
80 cents buys a large bottle Of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for cal

1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
feetly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
dose of nasty caIomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to
morrow. Don't lose days work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and YOU will wake up feeling great.

severe burns to his head, shout

his attempt to save his bank

Kaentz lives alone, and when
he discovered his house on fire
his first thoughts were to save
$500 in bills he had hidden I'M
der the house. After securing
the money, and while crawling
from under the house, the
porch fell on him. He was res

been severely burned and rem
