OuaIlly versus Ouantity.

Many housewives make vital mistake in choosing some of their foodstuffs on a basis of quantity
 It has been proven time and again that the cheapest is always the most expensive. while the highest price is not always the best.
 There's a happy medium in every thing. When you select foods, be careful. Don't choose any particular brand of, say Baking Powder for example, just because you get a big can for a small price.
 The risk you take in running your entire baking and losing the cost of the materials involved is not anywhere equal to the small sum saved on the price of the Baking Powder.
 Then again. because the price is high. don't think the quality is the best. Some women do, and they are losing money.
 Look for the happy medium. you'll find it. Choose a brand that costs a moderate price and you'll find it more economical to buy and more economical to use.
 The best Baking Powder in the world can be made so as to sell for Poe per 1 ID.

Renemher Fresh Air.

From The Kansas City Star
 The pneumonia season will soon be here, and medical authorities agree that nearly all the cases of that disease. which kills more peo- pie than any other, are due to two things: Our modern heating sys- tems and the shutting out of fresh air from our homes and the places where we work.
 Tn the days of our grandfatheFs there was little pneumonia, because houses were heated in winter with wide open fireplaces that sucked all the air of the rooms and sent 1t up the chimneys. and as there were no weather strips to keep fresh air supply came in thru cracks of windows and doors.
 But now, Dr. :. G. Dixon. health commissioner of Pennsylvania, says radiators in rooms with steam or hot water. plus weather strips around the doors and windows shut the air out almost completely
 The only air that gets entrance comes in under the doors or thru the walls. The lifegiving qualities of the air soon become used up un- der such circumstances. The air is robbed of it's oxygen and is filled with organic matter from the lungs and skin. Such condition of things seems to suit the germ of pneumo- nia."
 The commissioner is critical of the weather strip. Weather strips make doctors trips he says, and he would banish them altogether Steam and hot water and hot air systems of heating are all right if one will allow enough fresh air to get in and the foul overloaded air to get out.
 It is good and timely advice this doctor gives when he says: Don't be afraid of cold air and fresh air Get hardened to the cool air as the chill of autumn comes on. so you will not shiver every time a draught hits you. Sleep with the windows open. even in the coldest nights, and always breathe fresh air"

THAT COUNTY AUDIT.

There is great howl going up in some quarters in an effort to discredit Judge Wear because, in an effort to cheek up all county re- cords, he hired public and certified accountants to make anssaudit of such records, just as anysbusiness concern of any magnitude does at regular intervals.
 A great bugaboo is made because home men were not employed. In the first place there are no certi- fled accountants in this vicinity, and in the second place, it is usually considered best in such cases to have work of that kind done by men who in no possible way have been or are likely to be influenced by any man, men or element that might have an interest in the re- suit.
 It will be noticed. too, that all this awful howl comes from a source that has fought Judge Wear from the moment is was known he was elected county judge. at least since it was found he could not be con- trolled but insisted on trying to stand up for right as he saw it.
 And it will be noticed that none of the officials whose accounts were audited are making any fuss about it. If the auditors have a good case, if they are right and can prove it, doubtless all accounts due will be paid in. If they are wrong, it will be found out and in that case. like wise it is probable justice will be done and the auditors would be due for a good call-down and forced to stand the discredit
 The Star does not know what the result will be, but it is quite well satisfied Judge Wear is proud of the enemies he has earned by trying to get square deal for Polk county.

MEETING AN EMERGENCY

4 few. who do not seem to have quite graspt the situation. complain because sometimes The Star issues only four pages. But when they realize that the paper stock for the Tour pages now costs once and a half as much as twice the size has cost in the past, they can better ap- preelate the predicament of the publisher. When the manufactur- CTS. of clothes, shoes, dry goods or farm implements for any reason, just or unjust. raise the prices of their product to the wholesaler. and the wholesaler to the retailer, the last named quietly passes the add ed cost on to the consumer. If su- gar costs the grocer. say 41a cents a pound he probably sells it at 20 pounds for a dollar. If it costs 9 cents, or so, he sells i0 pounds for a dollar, and the consumer pays and realizes his grocer cannot do other wise.
 But the subscription price of the Star has long been set at si a year. II E net the intention to raise it if t can be avoided. but with paper three times it's normal price, and With the assurance that it is yet to go higher the management would be worse than foolish not to economize as it can. and the read CTS should be glad to share little m the hardship by accepting smaller paper at times.
 < The only other alternative for The Star. or other newspapers of it's class. is to greatly increase it's subscription rate.

Do not confuse Amendment No. Ii. the Good Roads Measure. with any existing laws. It has no con- nection whatever with the road im- provement district laws, and if adopted will almost absolutely free the taxpayers of Arkansas from this system of double taxation. It will do by building good roads out of the taxes now levied. It is common sense to cast ballot for an amend ment which will open a way for road building, and with no higher taxes than are now being paid for no roads at all

JOHNSON CLANCY
MILL FINE DRAW;
CLANCY ISSUES Def
CLANCY WINS ON POINTS, BUT
ONLY A FINISH FIGHT COULD
DECIDE-CLANCY WANTS RE-
TURN BOUT.

The finest exhibition of boxing ever
offered the local public was uncovered
last night at the Business Mems Ath-
letic club, when Clancy and Johnson
battled ten magnificent rounds to a
draw.
1t was the first time that the three
minute round was uncorked in Pen
sacola, and the innovation made a
great big hit.
If the decision was given on points
then Clancy was the winner, as he had
his man groggy at times, and during
latter part of the mill especially,
landed almost at will.
But a go like last nights can't be
decided on points. A decision on
points is fair only when the men are
content to stand off and jab and tickle
each other, but the Clancy-J Johnson
classic was featured by spectacular
mixing all the time. Several times
when Clancy's victory seemed almost
in his grasp and johnson appeared
practically helpless, the navy boy
showed astonishing recuperative en-
ergy and rushed his opponent to the
ropes.
Johnson forced the milling the first
part of the bout, and it was only in
the fifth stanza that Clancy tried to
do the leading. Even then johnson
took the leading role away from him
ever so often.
The first round was characteristic
of the entire route. Johnson started
to force things Immediately, and lis
charging tactics almost took the
Wildcat off his feet; it was all John.
sons at first. Then Clancy opened
things by a few jabs of his left, anC

should be addressed. Dutch says he
is especially anxious to meet either
johnson or Clancy, and claimed last
night, that his challenge particularly
applied to the winner of the big mill

of the best fights was when he met

Clancy took away with him a swol-
