Bilious Attacks.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and terrible headache.
Take Chamberlain's tablets. They
win tone up your liver, clean out your

Boys and Girls are
Arkansas Best Crop

The best crop in Arkansas is
the crop of boys and girls on
our farms and in our towns and
cities. They are great in posi-
bilities but if not helped in
forming good habits they may
be very poor citizens. There is
no better way of helping the
boys and girls of rural .commu-
mites than through corn,
pig, and cotton clubs and poul-
try and canning clubs.
This county should have at
least one hundred boys in the
corn clubs. There is no better
way of building up our corn in
dustry than by interesting these
boys in growing a good acre of
corn. Fathers should encourage
their boys by letting them have
an acre for corn.
II we want to get more and
better live stock why not get a
hundred boys to growing pigs
this year. Why not help our
boys to get into the game of
growing corn and pigs and give
them a start in an agricultural
education? 1t takes ony a few
small prizes in cash or mer-
chandise to get a start. Let our
county lead out in big list.
Every boy between the ages of
ten and eighteen who lives on
farm should be in the corn or
pig contest. w. J. Jernigan,
Little Rock, who has charge of
this work will send a phamlpet
explaining the work and every
county agent is working hard
to get these young farmers in
terested in this great campaign
for better agriculture.

 CRESENT DRUG CO.
Loot Case Containing Morphine and Herion-Nothing Else Disturbed.
 Loss About $30

Burglars who knew just what they wanted and just where to find it. en- tered the J. D. Robertson drug store Tuesday night at some hour between midnight and dawn. They took from the narcotic case about thirty dollars worth of morphine, codine powders, heriOn tablets and ccc.r The burglar or burglars entered by a rear door cut ting away the screen. This was a rear room and they broke out window glass between this room and the store proper. securing the evidently sorely needed dope.
 There was no attempt to disturb the cash registers or any merchandise other than the opiates.. Under the law all drugs of the character stolen must be accounted for strictly and the reven- ue inspector has been notified and will check, up the losses. Mir. Robertson was in the store until midnight and the burglar evidently was patient waiter for between the hour named ana daylight the entry was made. No clue has been found as to tie identity of the visitors, though Sherlock Holmes by his wonderful inductive and deduc- tive powers might decide that the dope was taken by man who is addicted to the use of the drug stolen.
