Everyone Should Drink Hot Water

 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to c6at your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa- tiou. bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy. acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly moro important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. while the bowel pores do, says a we'll known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels, drink before break. fast each day, glass of hot water with a teaspoOnful of limestone phos- phate in it. This will cleanse. purtfy and freshen the entire alimentary tracf. before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. R Is inexpensive and almost tasteless. except a sourish twinge which Is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your.sy tenn of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 To feel like young folks feel: like you felt before your blood. nerves and muscles became saturated with m ac- emulation of body poisons, hegin this treatment and above all, keep 1t up!

EDITORIAL COMMENT
SUMMER PLANTING.

Is there an idle square rod in Arkansas that can grow feed or food for man or beast? If so, spot it and plant something. When one crop is removed get the ground ready quickly and plant something. Plant what? We'll, here are some things to plant and you may think of many others. This will apply to vacant lots and gardens in towns and villages as well as the county. Sweet potatoes for food and market; soy beans and velvet beans, if planted before June 10th; pumpkins, squash, sorghum, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips; corn for green feed for milk cows in September. Plant, brothers, plant. Send for a Garden Calender to Dire ctor Cooperative Extension Service, Old State House, Little Rock or to Fayetteville.

and then plant late crop per- perhaps we will have better luck.
 Corn and cotton is looking fine so far. the late gardens are do- ing we'll and so are the melons. w. H. Phillips is running his new binder, trying to save his wheat before it rains.
 There seems to be peanut craze, as nearly every farmer has a small piece of ground planted. I wonder what will be- come of peanut John.
 People seem to have quit talk ing oil and are making war upon old general green. They have him driven into close quarters and still the hoe and blow are doing good work.

CONSIDERABLE interest center ed around the Chicago conven- tion last week where a battle royal took place as to who will butt his head againt a stone wall next November.

Amendment No. 12 is meas ure which people of every politi- cal faith and interest can con- sistently support. Democrats, republicans, socialists and single taxers will alike benefit by it's adoption. It will insure ample educational facilities for child
 ren whose parents are unable to send them away to school, and the stimulation of property values will more than offset the nominal increase in the tax rate.

SET OUT THE BOX.

A Little Rock dispatch says a local cigar dealer remarked the other day that many retailers unintentially violate the federal statutes every day. He stated that the international revenue law requires that when a cigar is offered for sale the dealer shall set out the box and allow the customer to make his own selection. It is also a violation of the law, he said, for a cigar to be replaced in the box after it has been taken out and handled.

Thousands of sweet pota- toes and other plants are being set out while the ground is wet.

 Cattle buying and selling seems to be in order just now and we have two vats close and we are dipping too, and it seems to me that it would be the very thing to dip the stock hogs and get rid of the lice the same as ticks.

 Mrs. Alfred O'Neal has been very sick and Dr. w. M. Wear, of Paris, was called in to consult with Dr. King, and her life was despaired of for two days, but she is up now and getting strong again. Her mother. Mrs. Will lis McElroy. of Etna, was with her the most of the time during her sickness.
