Urging support of the Memphis freight bureau. the Memphis Com- mercial Appeal of yesterday contains $ brief editorial showing the value ot 3n organization to handle this part -bf the citys commareial work. The argument applies with equal force to Pine Bluff, fitting the situation here perfectly. Substitute the name of this city for ,Memphis, and we have a strong editorial advocating mainten- ance of the traffic bureau. and show ing the wisdom of the business men wha are supporting the organization.

STOP! CALOMEL
 IS QUICKSILVER
It's Mercury! Attacks the Bones, Sali-
 yates and Makes You Sick.

There's no reason why person should take sickening, salivating cal omel when 30 cents buys large bot tie of Dodsons Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It is a 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 Dodsons Liver Tone, because it is per fectly harmless.
 Calomel is dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take d dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a days work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake LID feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dod- sons Liver Tone acts better than hor- rible calomel your money is waiting for you.

An other good feature of employees clubs is the incentive they are to reckless spenders, or indifferent workers, to rival their fellow work CTS in their punctuality in meeting the collectors demand. It is a strange thing that ways and means must be devised to induce a per- son to do something for his own benefit and the benefit of those dependent on him.

In the matter of saving money, the difficulty is often not lack of willingness on the part of people to save, but lack of initiative ill making a resolution to save, or lack of enterprise in carrying the resolution into effect by taking the trouble to go to the place of deposit. In many ir- stances this obstacle, has been overcome by organizing savings clubs in places of business and ap- pointing a collector who goes around at certain time caeh week "'or two weeks and collects a def pite sum from each club member
