AUTFN MOTOR co.
 IS IIQUIDATINC
Charter Has Been Surrendered and the Company Will Close Out
 It's Stock.

The Auten Motor Company, organ ized several months ago, has sur rendered it's charter and will liqu1- date the business. This course was decided upon at a meeting of the stockholders August 1. The stock is being sold at most attractive figures. H. F. Auten is president of the com pany and L. B. King secretary and manager MT. Auten says that con- ditions are such that it was deemed inadvisable to attempt to continue the business. MT. King still holds the state agency for the Oakland car and will continue business at the same place in his own name.
 MT. Auten, discussing conditions that have been brought about by the European war, predicts that when 25,- 100000 millions of soldiers return to the arts of peace, the increased de- mand for cotton will increase the price to 25 or 30 cents per pound
 "The European war has consumed practically all the cattle of Europe, including breeding cattle. With the close of the war the United States will have to furnish Europe with both beef and breeding stock. The great demand which will come from Europe will greatly enhance the price of cat tie and our people will reap rich harvest" says MT. Auten.
 Our people should at once prepare to meet these conditions. The farm CTS should build up the soil by stock raising and planting grasses and le- gumes and raise all the feed and foodstuffs which Arkansas will need. Then with the enriched soil the bal ance of the land will raise more cot ton than all the land produces now. By raising our own supplies the cash from co, on will go into the bank to pay off the mortgage"

VALUABLE PATENT
 AFTER T YEARS
cHAS. N. FAUBEL SECURES LET TIERS PATENT ON A NUT LOCK AFTER MANY YEARS OF
 EFFORT.

A remarkable instance of the virtue of persistence has just come to light in Little Rock. Last Saturday, Chas N. Faubel, the Pulaski Heights con tractor, received his letters patent on a nut-lock that promises to yield him a fortune. He has been working on the device for twenty-seven years, and began his efforts to secure his patent in 1895, twenty-one years ago.
 Since that time he has had all sorts of difficulties to overcome. An Eng fish inventor claimed that the Faube1 device was an infringement upon one of his, but this MT Faubel denied The case was fought through the Pat ents Office and in the courts, and the Arkansas man finally won and the pat ent was issued to him.
 The device locks nut on any bolt to a thirty-second of an inch, so that it cannot shake or work off A nut can be put on any bolt with the fingers that will require a wrench to remove it. Already MT Faubel is receiving offers from manufacturers all over the country for rights to make the nut-lock, but he says ne is not anx- ious to dispose of it to the first com CTS. It has unlimited possibilities Tn the mechanical world.

Forty-seven years ago on next Fri day, which happened to be about Sep tember 1, 1869, John E. Geyer opened a grocery store on the corner of Markham and Rock streets. Today he is doing business at the old stand, though there is change of building as well as of firm, and the volume of business conducted has overwhelming ly increased also.
 While he is daily visitor to the hive of industry known as the Geyer & Adams Company, and knows about as we'll what is going on there as those active in the management, "Un- cle John" finds more pleasure in driv- ing about town and country than in the grind of business.
 The rise of the Geyer & Adams Go. is due to close application to bust- ness and concerted action among the employees. John E. Geyer began com mercial life with an investment of $1,000 in grocery stock. He worked night and and day and prospered. His business soon doubled and then trebled It became a general mer- chandise store. Then it became nee essary to have some one to share the management of the thriving institu- tion and John Dudley Adams, known as the best accountant and bookkeep- CT in Arkansas, then with Miller & Penzel, was taken into the firm.
 After several years the store be- came exclusively wholesale, though for number of years, or almost from the beginning, travelling men had been kept on the road.

house. He is now the active head of the concern.
 John A. Adams, son of the original partner in the firm, who was active in the management until his death about a year ago, was also raised in the store, and became a son-in-law of MT. Geyer.
 Phil Hoeltzel is another one of the employees who has been with the con- cern for many years, demonstrating the old adage that the business house which holds it's employees is a good taskmaster, as wei, as prosperous one.
 John E. Geyer came to America In November, 1851, from Austria, accom- panied by his parents anu young sHs- ter. According to MT. Geyer, he was considerable hunk of a lad" at that time. His father put him in school and within two years he was winning many friends as community letter writer
 The first work done by MT Geyer III AIHeilcd WAS ds d putCHci, pu' ho soon went from that into the tanning business. He was engaged in operat- | ing a tannery in Little Rock when the war broke out and MT. Geyer en- listed in the Southern army The Confederacy had more use for tan ners at home than for fighting men, so MT. Geyer and eight leather work CTS were sent back to operate the Geyer tannery in Little Rock. These men had to report to Gen. Holmes once each month to have their detail renewed, and later they were assign ed to service under Gen. Kirby Smith.

 iL Morning and
 Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning
 before breakfast

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, Respondent, wor- ried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapacita- ted by illness.
 If we would practice inside-bath- ing, what gratifying change would take place, Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemiclooking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy checked people everywhere. he req son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which accumulates under our present mode of living, For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and not, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as harmless means of washing out of the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before put ting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks. acid stomach. nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside bath. A uarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing. sweetening and refreshing effect upon the system. - Advertisement.

Lime Starvation

The Nedienl Record (New NorIS) of December IS, Io09, contains m article on sfhe Treatment of Pull monary Tuberculosis. Based on the Assumption That the Dietetic Cause of the Disease is Lime StarvatiOn.- by Dr. John F. Russell. who says; s.rhe condition which k recognized as preceding the active development of tuberculosis in the adult may he considered due to lime starvation. s.S Among inorganic substances lime salts appear to he of special physiological importance but If the salts are not in organic combination it Is ditlicult to suppose that the cells cnn appropriate them for foOd.-
 Years of widespread use confirm us in the belief that the success of Eckman's Alterative in cases of pull monary tuberculosis (consumption) and chronic throat and bronchial troubles is due in large measure to its content of lime. so combined with other ingredients as to be easily ap- propriated by the cells.
 Doubtless this has had much to do with the results obtained in many cases of these affections, which ap- pear to have yielded to Eckman's Alterative.
 As it contains no opiates. narcotics or habit-forming drugs. it is safe to try. Your druggist will order it for you or you can send direct.
