RAISE SHEEP.

Is my advice to brother farmers of Southwest Arkansas.
 It is now for the livestock farmer to make sheep raising one of his regular lines of production. Putting aside effects of war conditions, pros pective values of lambs and wool rem der sheep raising fully as safe and attractive to the man who will study and understand the business, as is the raising of cattle, horses or swine. Prior to 1914 such statement as this would not have been justifiable. As sured meat values of the future, the need of greater economy in the use of farm labor and the full utilization of pastures place sheep raising in an en- tirely new light.
 Some agricultural journals and other authorities have been inclined to question the safety of engaging in sheep raising and base their ideas upon statistical facts of decline in popularity of sheep in southern states. Such statictical deductions are en- tirely misleading, as nowhere is there an instance in the United States of a decline in established sheep husbandry, based on production of both meat and wool The farm focks that have disappeared in the past were t.nl aI n,.,l onl T for wool production, and beyond the fact that they were sheep, had little in common with the kind of sheep that are now being placed upon American farms and which will be found in the near future on nearly all farms. An | important feature in starting the sheep business is to quickly work into 9 book of around 100 ewes or as is recommended by the most successful sheep raisers of the southern states, a eve for each two acres of the farm. The small flock which has heretofore been recommended for using weeds and waste feed and incidentally as a small source of profit, is the flock that becomes diseased and because of its insignificance in the farm business. is certain to be neglected. Sheep are farm cleaners.
 In conclusion, brother farmers, let us get together and have at least one or more carloads of lambs to ship every fall. Hoping to hear from some other farmers. along this line, I am

 The StOrm ;
Blanche Sweet and Theodore Roberts are Featured in This Love StOry-Thursday.

The Storm," Paramount picture produced by the Lasky company, fur nishes theme that is not only thrill ing, but that will have a universal appeal because of the beautiful love story of little girl who has had as the only mother she ever knew. Moth CT Nature.
 The story tells of Natalie Ravdon. who lives in the Maine woods with her absent minded father, immersed in his studies. When a young theo- logical student who is camping near by, and his friend, Fielding, see her it IS little wonder that both fall in love with her. Fielding is called away. however, and it is Avery who re- mains.
 One day during storm the two are caught on an island and obliged to spend the night there. Natalie finds that he does not love her in the right way and refuses to marry him. He goes to the city and is ordained.
 Two years later Natalie is running Fresh Air Camp and when she meets Fielding again and he proposes, she accepts, thinking the old affair with Avery thing of the past Accord ing to an agreement of student days Avery has promised to officiate at Fieldings wedding. He comes to the Camp for that purpose, and learning who is the bride, at first tries to stop the marriage. Natalie threatens to expose him by telling the truth, which he knows would ruin his career.
 However, during the ceremony, Ma talie realizes the deception she is practising on Fielding and confesses all, withholding Avery's name. Field ing suspects and springs at the man, but at the sight of the girl who has tainted and the touch of the old pro- lessor on his arm he picks up the prayer book handing it to Avery with command to proceed with the cere- mony. Natalie, searching his face for the.censure she dreads finds there only perfect love and understanding.

 ! ~ FIRE PREVENTION BILL
', cn;te of Governors Efforts Ar kansas Cant Have Law Like
 32 Other States.

.+o+a fire marshal would cut the
 .4 of fire insurance by reducing the ~,ful fire waste in Arkansas and the S.o+o government would make a clear wolf of S59,500 a year on the office bnt tbe House of Representatives this week voted the measure down by 2e to s2 says the Southern Construction News.
 Governor Trough, who has studied 4bo ouestion thoroughly, asked the uouse in an urgent message, to- pass Tho bill. Hon. Louis Josephs stated, bofore the vote was taken, that he had snent weeks of careful research in Investigating the law of other s+otes and the best points in all of +bom applicable to Arkansas before drawing the bill. He said the bill is modelled closely after the law of Ohio state notable for its equitable rates and comparative freedom from in- cendiarism. He asserted that 32 states have fire marshal laws and that no state has ever repealed such law after trying it.
 It was explained that the revenue from the office would be S76,500 a year from a special tax on fire in- surance companies, and the cost of operating the office by the state would be S17,0O0, leaving the state treasury s59500 to the good each year after creating the office. But the House turned the bill down cold. And the reason. as given in the Arkansas Ga zette, is as follows:
 "The chief objection offered was that it creates more officers with ar bitrary powers and the objectors could not understand why the insur- ance men were willing to place more taxes upon themselves for that pur- poFe.'
 ] the innocent bystander can well imagine an effective bank examiner health officer, fire marshal or meat inspector without certain arbitrary powers We may then be able to con. eeive why it would be strange for in- surance companies to want a reduc.

BEGIN HOT WAITER
 DRINMING IF YOU
 DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach, or you are bilious, consti- pated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bath ing. Dring before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your in- side bathing immediately upon aris- ing in the morning to wash out ot the system all the previous days poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body inn purities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost taste less, except for sourish twlnge which is not unpleasant.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and lime stone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bath ing before breakfast. They are as- sured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly.

INCOMES ARE HIT HARD
New Revenues VIII Produce Total of
100000 5000 for the Year-Ex-
emption Limits on. Incomes
Reduced to 81 900 for Sim
gle Men and $4,000
for Married Men.

Washington.-The war revenue bill.
largest in the nations history, estimat-
ed to produce $1,80O,OO0,OOO for the ex-
penseS of the war, was completed by
the ways and means committee Tues
day night and introduced in the house
Wednesday,.
If the trainers overlooked any tan
gible article upon which it is possible
to levy a tax, it was not because of
any desire to do so.
Incomes, inheritances, business prof
its, amuscments, liquors, tobacco, auto
mobiles, moving pictures, baseball
games, medicines, letter postage, trans
portation and jewelry are among some
Of the. things which will feel the bur-
den of taxation.
Tariff Will Yield 100000 900.
The committee found it necessary to
go to the tariff TO make up a deficit of
something like $200,0O0,OOO. This was
done by an agreement to tax of 10
per cent upon all articles now on the
free list and 10 per cent additional
upon all articles now upon the dutfabIe
list.
Income-tax increases as made public
by Chairman Kitchin follow:
Taxes for the year ending December
81, 1916, have been increased exactly
one-third. These taxes are due in
June.
Exemption limits have been reduced
to $1,000 for single men and $4,000 for
married men.
The normal tax on new classes of
incomes to be taxed, those between
$1,000 and $4,000 for single men and
between $4,000 and $4,000 for married
men, has been fixed at per cent.
Normal taxes on all incomes former
ly taxed. those above $4,000 for single
men and $4,000 for married men, have
been increased from to a per cent.
Increases in All Surfaces.
The increased surfaces are as fol-
lows:
