Pine Bluff is not the only city in Arkansas which needs and is to re- ceive general clean up. There are others. Some do not recognize the need; others do. Among these is Tex arkana, where the Daily Texarkarian, recalling one disastrous epidemic, is urging precautionary steps now to re- ducc danger from disease through the removal of refuse and garbage. In a recent issue the Texarkanian says:
 "Some three years ago Texarkana suffered an epidemic of infantile par alysis. New York now is in the throes of similar epidemic, and there have been numerous deaths of infants from the disease. Various other localities have reported deaths from the all- ment.
 "Texarkana does not want another epidemic of any kind, and least of all an epidemic of infantile paralysis.
 Precautions should be taken to guard against all sicknesses. Clean up campaigns are among the best of the many preventative measures Weeds should be cut; pools of stag nant water drained or covered with oil; refuse should be removed or the receptacles containing it securely ano tightly covered; houses should be screened against flies and mosquitoes and above all, grocery stores, meat markets, candy stores and milk depots should be thoroughly sanitary ano we'll protected from flies"
 Tuesday has been designated as cleanup day in Pine Bluff. Mayor Bloom issued proclamation, calling upon all the residents to clean theil premises and promising, if they dc not do so, the delinquents will bt prosecuted.
 The City Federation of Women'' clubs, City Beautiful club, the Eas Pine Bluff Civic league and the cham Der of commerce are behind the move ment, and this should insure genera cooperation.
 In cleaning up premises, removing filth, abolishing fly and mosquito breeding places, the resident Is n' more than his duty--a duty he owe to the community, to his family ant to himself.
 And it is best kind of good business because it is cheaper to clean up an' prevent sickness than it is to los' time, pay doctors and druggists bills and then, perhaps, be forced to sum mon the undertaken.

These sug- ,.estions would be practical for any state. The plan would not only teach q boy the value of time-how to be thrifty, but would also make him irl- dustrious and saving.
 Fifty thousand families ill New York City last year received aid from six of the largest charitable societies of that municipality, and the investi. gators for the societies show that tl,riftless habits were the cause of r:ost of the distress and the same families are annually the recipients cf charity. For shiftless parents ard shiftless homes destroy all ambition and do not hcget all independence in the children that would make them abhor charity, when they are able to work.
 It is we'll known by those who have made the subject the matter of in- vcstigation that although at the age of 45 fully 80 per cent of men are established ill whatever pursuit they follow, and are in receipt of incomes in excess of their expenditures, al the age of 60 it has been found that 95 per cent have receded in their financial independence and are de. pendent on their daily earnings or upon their children for support. Al this is the result of failure to taks into account the fact: "There car be no profit if the outlay exceeds it.

The movement of recent vintage that all boys should learn how to swim is decidedly worth while. In New York city alone last year 4S5 persons were drowned Imagine what the figures for the whole of the coun- try must be-. Most of these deaths occur because people cannot keep themselves afloat until the arrival of aid. There is a sentiment in many large cities that boys and girls be taught swimming in the public schools.

Deafness Cannot i5e Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an inHaIned condition Of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intalnee you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation ca,i bc taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi- tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but ar unframed condition of the mucous surfaces.

them very uncomfortable. They can't

Galloway's strength, but we doubt

reasonable, and the American public

So far as the Star knows, none of
the candidates have violated political
ethics in this campaign. They have
all been courteous to each other, but
some of their friends have not been
so correct. A story has been circu-

candidates for sheriff, has been ar
