to have tick eradication pushed. They have learned that it does not pay to feed cattle ticks, which is what they are doing when they feed cows that are infested with ticks.
 A comparatively small amount of money spent for dipping vats and the eradication of the tick will bring Ar kansas forward as an agricultural state. We cannot expect to make much progress, however, suntil the tick is eradicated from every county.
 Many of the more progressive coun- ties that are anxious for live stock inn provement are held back by their less progressive neighbors. For that req son the residents of the progressive counties, which have been visited by the profitable farming campaign speakers during the past week are welcoming the day when tick eradica- tion work will be statewide
 The production of home supplies and more and better live stock will make our farmers prosperous.

BILLION DOLLARS
 IN MINERAL PRODUCTION

In 1880, when the output of the mines of the United States barely ex- ceeded in value one- third of billion dollars, the first director of the Unit ed States Geological Survey made this prophecy: "The mineral industries of the United States will soon reach an annual money yield of thousand mil lion dollars of value" This mark was in fact attained in 1899.
 Speaking before the American Min ing Congress in November, 1907, an- other director of the Geological Sur vey referred to the probability that that year would mark an epoch in the mineral industry by reason of the mineral output reaching two billion dollars in value, and later the com plete statistics verified this state ment. Now less than 10 yaars later the advance estimates submitted by the Geological Survey to the secretary of the interior indicate that the total value of mineral production in 1916 may reach the three billion dollar mark.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel rlqht with the system full
 of polsons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. What's an inside bath ?" you say. We'll, it is guaranteed to perform miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising m the morning, drink glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is very excellent health measure. It is in- tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestnes of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou- ole, kidney misery, sleeplessness, im- pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.

THE CAz0RT BILL A
 BIG STEP FORWARD
It's Passage May Mean Complete Eradication of the Tick by 192O-Will Add Much to the Value of Cattle.
By C. o. Carpenter. (Agriculturist of the Little Rock Board of Commerce.

Board of Commerce.)
 The passage of Speaker Cazort's bill providing for statewide tick eradi- cation, which passed the house We'd nesday, is one of the most important steps toward the advancement of agri- culture in Arkansas. This bill places the 12 counties which have not been in tick eradication districts under the provision of law which will provide a tax of five cents per head on cattle work. Also the bill provides for sup ervision of the dipping of cattle under the directions of the state veterinar- ian. If some means can be provided for raising additional funds it is the belief of Dr. Wright, United States in- spector in charge of tick eradication, and Dr. Cow, state veterinarian, that Arkansas will be cleaned from ticks by the end of 1919.
 Already residents of several coun- ties where tick eradication work has
  work be carried on in their counties next season. If sufficient funds can be made available, at least 20 of the AT counties, wholly or partly infested with ticks, can be placed out of the quarantine area by the end of 1917
 In Dollars and Cents.
 It is estimated that the elimination of the pest will add an average of $10 per head to the value of the cattle owned by farmers located below the quarantine line Considered with the fact that in the past it has cost from 25 cents to 50 cents per head of cattle to eradicate the ticks, the farmers are beginning to see that one of the most profitable things they can do is to make this 25-cent investment.
 Five counties eliminated the pest this year, and from one of them 60 carloads of cattle have been shipped to the native division with 12 carloads still on feed. The men who shipped these cattle say that the fact that the cattle were sold in the native division added at least $2OO carload to the price they would have brought as ticky cattle.
 Better Cattle Made Possible
 Another factor that is influencing the people to demand rapid progress in eradicating the tick is the desire for a better grade of cattle. This cannot be supplied until we are able to bring in breeding stock from tick-free area.
 Costly experience has taught them that it is sentencing an animal to death from tick fever to bring it from above the quarantine line into the counties where the tick exists.
 At present many dairymen in cen tral Arkansas are losing money by feeding high-priced feed to low-grade cattle. Because their section is infest- ed with ticks they are forced to use such cattle or go out of business. For that reason the dairymen are anxious
