A Little Rock insurance man is
sending out copies Of fine parody
on the "Carelessness" sermon, which
had such great vogue some time ago,
and which is still valuable lesson
for any one to learn, as is also the
parody. The letter reads:
II AM YOUR most useful servant
and your most powerful enemys
81 work for man tirelessly and slay
him releptlessly.
destroy planets and turn oceans
into thin vapor. / purify postilential
places; ! am plague.
Il am more terrible than tornado,
more devastating than the hordes of
the Huns, yet may be confined on the
end of a two. inch splinter.
II have levied toll on human life
greater than the total losses of the
European war. In the United States
of America l have collected taxes of
$3.50. OO0,O 900 annually for years, yet
that is only a fraction of the value
to the country of my services when
rightly directed.
"My greatest foe is wanter and my
greatest ally carelessness.
81 afflict the widow and the orph-
ans, bankrupt the struggling trader
and bring low the mighty captain of
industry. / pull down the proud
works Of man tumbling about his
ears, aided and abetted by my ally,
carelessness, and his twin servants,
ignorance and indifference.
II am the wings of riches and bear
millions aloft to mingle with the
clouds, never to return.
Works of art, the choicest gems,
palaces, bullying storehouses, the cot
tage of the poor-alike are food to
my gigantic tonnage. :,
"Held in bondage by man l am
rescued by my allies who ever come
to sever my letters. Then I am away
with a roar to scatter death and DESC
lation to all in my path.
II am your slave forever when my
ally and his servants are placed in
bondage with me and ONLY THEN.
II am FIRE"

You Can't Fool your Liver
You May Deceive Yourself.


There are many so-called liver
medicines on the market that have no
action whatever on the liver. These
medicines act quickly on the lower
bowels and the patient believes he is
getting the desired results, but he is
only deceiving himself and the result
is that his liver becomes more inactive
each day until he finally has to take
a medicine that really acts on his liver
To avoid this unnecessary trouble,
expense and delay you should get a
bottle of Lemolac, the medicine that
possesses the merits of calomel with
out it's dangerous and unpleasant eff
fects of your nearest druggist. 1t is
real liver regulator and is sold under
a positive guarantee to please you by
Central Pharmacy, Pine Bluff, Ark.
P. S.-If you forget the name spell
calomel backward. (Advt.)

be successful man when he enters
the great world of affairs. Some of
our most successful Americans
worked their way through college,
and it is interesting to note what is
being done along this line. A notable
instance of heroic thrift comes from
the University of Arkansas, located
in that portion of the United States
where thrift is particularly necessary.
Almost one half Of the men and
somewhat smaller per cent of the
women enrolled in the State Univer-
sity of Arkansas are supporting
themselves in whole or in part. There
is student labor fund appropriated
by the Legislature, and students are
employed to do all university work
which can be done efficiently. More
than $50 boys and girls last year per-
formed such services as janitor work,

CULTIVATE GOOD HABITS.

"Cultivate Good Habits sounds
like the title of sermon. Probably
Ia sermon or book could be written
around it without lacking in interest.
But today it has to do with common
life.
There are women in the community
who use the broom vigorously every
day. They have cultivated fear of
dirt that reacts generously to their
advantage.
Others in the community have cul-
tivated liking for numerous tasks
that make for good living. These in
variably are performed every day.
They have become part of life.
Unfortunately there are some men,
bers of the human race who have
cultivated had habits instead of good
ones. To them, to do the wrong thing
appears natural and to do the right
thing appears hard. They hurt them
selves, their families, their relatives,
and the community.
If you know thing is the right
thing to do, cultivate the habit of
doing it.

The advocates of amendment No.
IL are not asking anybody to vote a
tax. This amendment will not force a
tax on any man or any school dis
trict. 1t leaves the question of taxes
for each school district to settle for
itself at the annual school meeting
the third Saturday in May each year.
This ought to be fair enough. 1t
can't hurt you, and it will help lots
of needy districts.

amendment that he does not under

of everyone interested to explain the
to every farmer he meets,

For All Complexion Ills

If the skin be colorless, sallow, mud
dy, over-red, blotchy or freckled, moth
ing will so surely overcome the condi-
ton as ordinary mercolized wax. 1t
literally takes off a bad complexion
absorbs the dead and near-dead par
ticles of surface skin, gently, gradual
ly, causing no inconvenience at all. A
new complexion is then in evidence,
clear, spotless, delicately soft and
beautiful. One ounce of this wax, pro-
durable at any drugstore, will rejuve-
nate even the worst complexion. 1t is
used like cold cream. -Advt.

Henry Clews, the well-known fl
nancier, supports the policy of the
administration. He says: "Presi-
dent Wilson, ably seconded by Secre-
tary Lansing, has so far succeeded
in keeping the country out of trou-
BILE with either Mexico or any of the
European belligerents. He has been
notably fortunate in securing salts
faction from Germany and Austria
for the loss of American lives, also
in securing modification of sub
marine warfare in behalf of human
ity at large. He has also induced
Great Britain to modify her orders
in-council on several occasions when
these pressed too hard upon Amer
ican interests. All things considered
it is gratifying that in spite of the
intense and critical strain imposed
upon our foreign relations we have
thus far escaped serious complica-
tions"

Two weeks ago at the fall rally we
launched our programs for the year;
last week we started one of the es-
sential features of those programs. the
study classes, and this Sunday We are
to get down to brass lacks" in our
work-as chapters and as members. for
the year and for our own lives-and
get clear idea of just what we must
do for ourselves, and what we can de-
pend upon God to do for us.
We have just passed from summer
into fall, but the days of this last week
have been so much alike that there is
no way in which we might perceive
the exact moment when summer
ceased and fall began although some
mathmetical genius has determined this
right down to the second, and we may
find it by consulting the almanac So
the average Christian cannot perceive
the exact boundary between what he
must do for himself and what God
will do for him, although the Divine
Intelligence has established it down
to the last jot and little, and one may
discover ii by studying His almanac.
Personalities and conditions vary SO
greatly that it is, perhaps. impossible
to establish hard-and-faSt rule which
will apply universally, but each person
can determine exactly what he must
do for himself, and what God will do
for him, by studying the Bible and ap-
plying the formulas of Gods truth to
his own life and circumstances.
A young business man was fitting
himself for advancement by attend

much of his time and energy to Ep-

came for examinations he realized too
late that he was not prepared for
them, because he had devoted much Of
his study time to the league work, but
he thought the Lord would help him
because he had spent his time and
