TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
 ''' OF BOARD OF HEALTH
Conway Citizens Urged to Make Sewer Connections and Screen
 Their Houses.

The following bulletin has been is- sued by the Conway board of health:
 "The Board of Health of the city |of Conway recommends that you screen your home so that it will be fly proof; that if you are without the limits of the water system you screen your closets equally as care fully; that if you are within the limits of the water system, you close your we'll and closet and connect your home with the water and sewer sys- tenn.
 These precautions are necessary for the preservation of your health, and also for the preservation of the health of your neighbor, for "no man lives alone" Perhaps Conway is the healthiest city in Arkansas, but there is still room for improve ment Of the few cases of typhoid fever in the city during the last 12 months, 85 per cent arose in unsew- cred and unscreened homes, and per haps the other 15 per cent were in- fected from without the severed and screen homes.
 Typhoid is spread by infected food and drink Drink is infected by the stable and closet draining into the open well, and food is infected by the common house fly having free passage from the stable and close, to the kitchen and dining room. Ut costs less in time and money tC screen and sewer your home than il does to wait on the sick and bury the dead Screen and sewer youl homes."

FURTHER BRIBERY
 BILLS HUNDRED

Little Rock, March 12.-Grand juries being inquisitorial bodies which give out nothing, or at least supposed to be leak proof, are not very fat sources of information for the news hounds of the daily press, but even this fact does not keep rumors from travelling fast, and if they are to be credited, some rather interesting dis closures in connection with the re- cent general assembly will soon be made. It is asserted by some that shortly there will be some indict- ments returned that will involve others than those now under arrest. Who the men are is only matter of conjecture, but it is known that Sena- tor l. c. Burgess, one of the senators under indictment, and later expelled by the senate, was before the grand jury of Pulaski county recently and spent several hours. It is claimed that he gave information that was much desired by the prosecuting at torney.

EDITORS MAY MEET
 IN BORDER CITY

Little Rock, March 12.-The 1917 meeting of the Arkansas Press As sociation will in all probability be held in Fort Smith some time in May. A trip will then be taken to Rogers, Mount Nebo, Siloam Springs, Winslow, Springdale and Benton vile, with return through the Sebastian county coal fields, and east on the Rock Island to Little Rock. The session was first sched- uled for Texarkana, a joint affair with the Texas association, This fell through because of the failure of the Texarkana capitalists to erect a new hotel, so that the visitors might be accommodated. Then Hot Springs was selected, but the Texas editors could not make the trip there, so that has also been abandoned. A meeting of the executive committee will soon be held to take definite ac- tiOn.

SOLONS GOOD PATRONS
 OF VAUDEVILLE SHOWS

Little Rock, March 12-The gener- al assembly of Arkansas supported one vaudeville establishment in Lit tie Rock. This must be admitted from the test. Before the assembly convened, Little Rock had two places which offered polite and re- fined" vaudeville to the people. When the assembly drew near, two other houses added the slap stick comedian and the girl in pink tights. One of these shows is still going, while one has been discontinued, showing that the assembly made the difference of just one vaudeville show in Little Rock.

 The entente's losses are given as 6,318,400, as against 3,384,800 fol the central empires. One reason for the great discrepancy between the two is believed to be the relative unpreparedness of the entente, the disastrous retreats, in France in the beginning of the war, in Russia from the Mazurian lakes and the Carpa thians, and in Rumania.
 The entente's dead total 2,89O, 400, against 1,550,800 for the central en- pires; the entente's wounded 1,676,- 800, against 922,000 for their ene- mics, and their captured and miss ing 1,655,50O against 912,OO0 for the central empires.
 Russia is infinitely the heaviest los CT so far, with a grand total of 3,084, 200 men. The bulk of these losses occurred in the Mazurian Lake disaster and the two retreats from the Carpathians. Their dead total 1,500,O00.
 France has suffered the second highest casualties with a total of 1,810,800, largely because of the ear ly retreat to the Marne and the ter rife losses in the defense of Yer dun,

To produce this increase the anthra- cite roads carried gross tonnage of 52,291 ,445 tons fo the eight months, as against 44,623,063 tons for the first eight months of 1916.
 The increase for the month of Aug ust alone this year over August, 1916, was 1,5S3,609 tons or 2S.35 per cent; the July increase was 24.3S per cent and the June increase 2524 per cent.
 These figures indicate that recent reports to the effect that there has been a severe curtailment in the pro duction and distribution of anthracite coal are based upon rumor rather than facts.

New York Oct. 1.-The cotton market was very irresular during to- days early trading. Business appear cd to be largely in the way of even ing up commitments for over the three day adjournment Some of the local traders thought they saw pos siblity of frost for northern sections of the belt between the close today and the reopening on Monday and this idea probably accounted for re- buying by some of yesterdays sell CTS or covering. On the other hand there was further realizing by old longs and some southern selling. The opening was firm at d decline of i points on october. but generally 20 to 2S points higher with December sell ing up to 26 19c and January to 25.S5c during the first few minutes, or about 24 to 39 points net higher.
 Reactions of several points follow ed with the market unsettled and fluctuations cratic.
 After selling off to 2395c for De cember and 25.62c for January, the market steadied on the western belt forecast for cooley weather with frost in Oklahoma, December selling up to 26.20c and January to 25.S5c, or 27 to 40 points net higher. Spot house buy ino acounted for the real firmness of December and there were reports that onthern spinners were fixing prices.

LIMBS
 MADE OF CARDBOARD

Paris, Oct. n.-A cardboard leg which enables the Wearer to go about without crutches two days after hts limb has been amputated is an inven- ton that as been tried out success fully in the military hospitals of Paris, The artificial limb was devised by a Danis surgeon now in te medical ser vice of the French army. The materl. als used are two sheets of cardboard about three-sixteenths of an inch thick, and bandages soaked il starch solution. After careful measurements have been taken the cardboard IS cut into what looks like peg-toEs, when after being soaked in the bath fold round each other and are secured with bandages.
 He can wear the artificial leg long before the wound is healed and IS thus enabled to get air and exercise, which is usually impossible to obtain at this phase of his convalescences. The cardboard leg, properly treated lasts from six months or year, py which time a permanent artlflclal limb is ready to be fitted.

MEN WANTED

As a result of the war there Is an enormous demand in all lines of busi- ness, both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that it is a. patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue buf1ness or techni- cal training and fit themselves for ser vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are. not in the se- lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-great numbers of them-and must have them. It Is a splendid Opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand, and other branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock, Ark, advises that the demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school. A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available MT. Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking for an op- portunity and believe in the "Do it now" spirit, should, by all means, communicate with MT. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting yonng peo- pie to prepare for business life.
