Why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system IS the alarm SYSTEM
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system G ives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing touic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

A GOOD OMEN.

In the recent primary election in
 Pulaski county the Selection of strong public-spirited men of ability and dignity to the legislature and the de- feat of several professional politi- clans for other offices are indications
 of civic virtue and sanity which are
 positively encouraging. The Arkan- sas Democrat, often wrong, very
 properly in this instance says: Tt was the conscience of a city that spoke Wednesday in the Democratic primary, the voice of municipal soul pleading for it's legislative rights
 and registering it's declaration that | it was awakened to the possibilities o1 its power. It Is an encouraging sign when the conscience of city awakens and the soul of municipality cries
 out that no longer will it remain pas sively idle while movements IS at stake.' Men were nominated for the legislature who may be expected fair ly to represent the metropolis and
 capital city of our state. This IS well. It may be remembered by our readers that some months ago we frankly an- nounced that if Little Rock and Hot
 Springs, through their representa- tives, continued to obstruct when the people were seeking to promote moral
 reforms, the rest of the state would
 refuse to give these misrepresented
 cities anything. The whole state
 would build wall around them. That would be calamity, and yet
 less calamity than to submit to the
 dictation and leadership of the lewd
 elements. While the issues of prohi-
 bition and racetrack gambling were
 not directly raised, still it is reason
 able to expect, from the character of the men nominated, that they will en-
 deavor to unite the best elements in
 the state and overcome the proper
 nreiudice aroused against these cities
 by the nefarious propositions sup
 ported by some of the city represen-
 tatives. The time has come for con-
 structive statesmanship. Arkansas has much of latent good and unde- veloped resources which should be utilized. It is hard for the state to
 rise above the standard set by the
 stronger counties. If other counties
 will now exercise good judgment our
 next legislature may put us on higher
 ground. There must be no retrogres-

or March? Too many village streets are worse than the country roads. Why not grade and drag these streets, improve the drainage, put in crossings and sidewalks, haul out the tin cans and rubbish, clean out the alleys and back yards, fence in the pigs and chickens, plant trees along the streets, a different kind of tree for each street, fix up wide parkings and set to Bermuda or bluegrass, and then most important of all, look after the outhouses, the greatest disease breeding factor in our small towns. Haul off the manure from the stables before the first of March, provide air. tight boxes and use lime or treat with powdered borax at rate of one pound per 16 cubic feet. The unsanitary privies in the villages and small towns is the cause of more deaths than tuberculosis. Why not have this slogan for the village and small CT towns: Let us make this a good town to live in."

A CHILD HATES OIL, CAlOMEl, PILLS FOR
 LIVER AND BOWELS
GIVE CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS' IF CROSS, SICK, FEE
 NERISH, CONSTIPATED.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose mother insisted oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our mother it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well founded Their tender little "insides are injured by them.
 If your child stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only de- licious California Syrup of Figs. , It's action is positive, but gentle Mil lions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow.
 Ask your druggist for a soc bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies, chil- dnen of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by California Fig Syrup Fig Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.

COUNTY IS NOT LIABLE
 IN MISDEMEANOR CASES

Tn a case which will be of interest in this county, the Arkansas supreme court decided yesterday that counties are not liable for the payment of trial costs in misdemeanor cases where the costs cannot be made out of the convicted defendants. The case was that of Lonoke county vs. Jas B Reed, appealed from the Lonoke circuit court. J. B. Reed, prosecuting attorney. filed his claim against To- noke county for fees in cases of con- viction for misdemeanors where the defendants had no property. The county had not contracted to work it's convicts and the claim was allowed bv the circuit court.
 "The liability for criminal costs rests upon the statute, and the statute nlainlv excepts misderneanor cases and says that the county shall not be liable for the costs in such cases" said the court. The judgment against the county was reversed and the claim of the prosecuting attorney for fees was dismissed.

SHELTER THE COW.

The milk cow is a delicate machine for the production of food She util- izes her food both for heat and for milk but she will use it for heat first. Cows in Arkansas do not need close, air-tight stables, but it is not profit able to let the mshiver in cold rain. A dry shed, however crude and cheap, will pay good return to any farmer. Then the milk cow must have milk producing feeds, such as pea hay, soy bean hay, peanut hay, clover, alfalfa or little cottonseed meal, and she will give more milk for the children
