An Open Letterto the Children
of Mississippi.
Dear Children Of Mississippi:

Dear Children Of Mississippi:
DO you want to know how YOU
can work for the Red Cross this
Christmas2 Listenl The poor sold.
iers OF France are dying of a disease
called tuberculosis because there is
no place to care for them. Our
soldiers will catch this disease from
the soldiers of France and when
our soldiers come back to Missis-
sippi there will be no place to treat
them and they will die unless some-
thing is done to help them.
Now YOU can help to build a
place where these soldiers lives can
be saved.
We ask you who read this letter
and every other school child in Mis-
slssippi to earn five cents and buy
five cents worth ofRed Cross Christ
mas Seals. This would mean that
there would be $4,000 with whic h
to take care of the sick soldiers.
Wouldn't that be fine thing for
the children of Mississippi to do?
Mr.. Drug Store Man will not have
to pay for the seals we send him.
All that you don't buy he can send
back to us after Christmas only
there won't be any left.
The children Of other towns in
Mississippi are going to help to
build the lean-to for the soldiers
are YOU?

Written in the finest Greek,
From Chinese while in Timbuctoo
Who said the negroes in Cuba knew
OF a colored man in a Texas town
Who got it straight from a circus clown
That man in Kondike heard the news
From gang of men who had the blues
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard man who claims to know

Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husbands sisters niece
Has stated in printed piece
That she has a son who has friend

CARE OF BROOD MARE IS
IMPORTANT.

BY J. H. Mcleod Livestock Special
list. Extension Division, Univer- :.
sity of Arkansas.
It is estimated that only 60 per
cent of brood mares bred each year
produce living colts. A great part of
this loss can be overcome by proper
feed. care and management.
/. Better 10 work mare more while
in foal than to allow her to stand idle
?. Good judgment, however, should
be used in kind of work she is call
ed up to do. She should not be allow
cd to pull too heavy loads or to back
heavy loads and all other exertions
such as wading through deep mud and
the like.
3. Keep the mares bowels loose
by feeding such feeds as bran or green
feeds.
4. Do not feed cotton seed meal to
brood mares.
5. Avoid all feeds that contain
dust, mold or decay.
6. Give the mare plenty of fresh
clear water.
Z. Allow her the run of a pasture
while not at work
8. To avoid navel disease It is
best to allow mare to drop foal In
pasture provided there are no other
stock to disturb her.

you what. how and when to plant
vegetables for the summer and fall
garden.
Prepare the Soil Carefully.
To have summer garden use every
available method to keep the soil from
drying out during the hot months and
keep down the weed crop which is one
of the greatest enemies to the Arkan-
sas gardens The soil for the summer
garden should be thoroughly pulver-
lied and put in the best possible con-
dition, and as a rule the seed should
be planted little deeper than they
are usually planted in the spring.
This will insure better moisture sup
ply for termination and at the same
time enable the plants to be more
drouth resistant. Some Of the small
Ter seeds such as turnip or cabbage
will, of course, not stand deep plant
ing. but as soon as the planting is
finished it is generally advisable to
gently firm the soil over the seed.
Plant Beans and Tomatoes.
Both lima and snay or string beans
may still be planted and those planted
at this time and on up until the first
OF August will mature before
frost Since the bean crop is one
which can easily be saved by al
lowing the beans to dry on the vines it
is important that gardeners plant
good sized patch Of them. Maturing
;e,
far less damage to feared from Wee
wills
Tomatoes set at this time will pro-
duce an excellent crop for early fall
use and if kept pruned to single
stem will continue TO bear until frost.
The green fruit on the vines at that
time may be gathered and placed on
a shelf in cool room or cellar
where it will continue to ripen TN
til Christmas
Turnips may be sown during July
and August for summer and fall use.
II is also good idea to SOW some
of the winter varieties late in the sum
mer. These can be banked as soon as
the weather turns cold and in this way
may be kept throughout the winter.
Put in Irish Potatoes.
Don't forget to plant a good sized
July If you desire to use the home
grown seed it is a good idea to dig
them two TO three weeks before the
planting is to be done so as to have
item sprout before planting. Use on
" the mature potatoes for seed-cull
out those that are small and imma-
ture To sprout them. select place Of
medium shade such as is afforded By
an ordinary tree Cover with leaves
or straw and keep moist. As soon as
the sprouts are one-fourth inch long
the potatoes should be planted Step.
ring on each potato as 1t is planted in
the row will bring it in direct contact
with the moist soil and cause il to
grow more quickly. Do not expose the
potatoes to the sun any more than is
absolutely necessary. II the vines be-
gin to blight spray with Bordeaux.
Cabbage and CoIards.
Cabbage and collards may be sown
now TO be transplanted later The
early varieties will be ready for use
in the early fall while late maturing
varieties will serve for late fall and
early winter use. Cabbage may be
set out until September and when Sc.
we're weather comes on'can be banked.
Don't fail to put out a good-sized plot
of cabbage and make some kraut for
winter use

Doctor Says Muxated 1ron WiIl 1nerease Strength of Delicate
 peeple 2oo4b in Gen Days

In many instances-Persons have suffered untold agony for years doc : toring for nervous weakness, stoma oh, liver or kidney disease or some othe F ailment when their req! trouble was lack of iron in the blood.-How to tell.
 New York, N Y.-In q recent dis course Dr. E. Sauer a Specialist who has studied widely both in this coun- try and Europe said: If you were to make an actual blood test on all peo- pie who are i'll you would probably be greatly aStonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is SUD- piled all their multitude of dangerous symtoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you any good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk;
 some think they have dyspepsia, kid ney or liver trouble; some can. sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance In such cases, it is worse than foolshness to take stimulating medicines or mar nt,1xy xxhtr Tagging vital powers for the moment
 maybe at the expense of your life later on. No matter what any one tells you, if you are not strong and we'll you owe it to yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five. grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after

prived of food and the .evies were laid upon the people. l do not think soldiers meant anything to him as men, they were simply creatures of his will, to serve his ends.
 It is said that all great men are ego lists. This one certainly was. We were so absolutely in this mans power. And he was so ruthless
 When a mans personality weighs depression, in Poland they say, "he sits on my head" It is a wonderfully expressive phrase. The Great Man sat on my head" very heavily. He drank copiously Gin fact l have never seen such a capacity for schnapps,) ate tremendously, and his ony topic of conversation was about what he had done or was about to do.

 The days went by without rest for me. l was a machine, night after night. with my patents-how pitiful they looked-little gray shadows of my darling boys They never stopped talking, only their voices grew weaker each night meant battle with death. l used to stand over them and say, "Dearies. you must not leave your mamusia-you must get wel,--your father must have his boys!"

She was not the same girl. She had escaped so far. But breathing the same air with them, how could she escape the typhus despite all my care in dislnfecting
 The Germans were not afraid to re- main in my home because they had allJ been inoculated. Finally the Great Man went and l was heartily grateful. for his atmosphere of almost inexor- able power to crush us was almost too much to bear. It was as if n back cloud had been cleared from our horizon; though We still felt the effect off the orders given to the army, still we did not have to look at him or

serve him with coffee.
 Great Mans Selfishness

During the few days he was under peared upon my table but no one had | asked me if 1 had the necessary food to give my children. The Great Man was served from a field kuche" with the more substantial dishes and 1 had to provide an entree or two. One day the food ia the field kuche" went sour and 1 had to provide the whole meal. No wonder 1 was glad the " Colos- sus" went--wheneyer 1 looked at him l seemed to hear bones being cracked and ground in to powder. No tiny de- tail, nothing that could make the townspeople suffer was too insig1ifi- cant to be turned into an order and signed by the Great Man. In fact he brought so much "kultur" into Poland that the Poles were almost extermin- ated by it.
 We were not the only ones who felt the weight of his fist. The German soldiers were treated with extreme se- verity. though given the greatest li- cense to harm and fill the unfortunate people with fear. It did no good to complain of any outrage-for outrage was ordered and encouraged and re- warded. The soldiers were forbidden to show sympathy.
 Soldiers Worshipped Image.
 One curious thing-the soldiers had all sorts of articles stamped with the Great Mans picture. I asked one of the orderlies if he felt it was quite the thing to use a handkerchief so decorated The man told me per haps not" but that he thoroughly agreed with his snspenders. Bright red these were, bearing a tiny picture of the Great Man. and of course, "Gott strafe England" embroidered upon them i1 flowing German script That legend seemed to grow upon every thing the soldiers used
 On the last day the Great Man was with us, another Great Parsonage was also there-a fat, beery scion of roy atty, neither clever nor interesting The change in this young mans ap- pearance was a distinct shock. As a girl l had often seen him in Berlin with his father or some of his broth CTS or others of the family, and at that time his extreme popularity Che was very much the peoples favorite)

THE ''KuL TURED" v0n HInDENbERG
 AMERICANS W0MAN'S PICTURE

General von Hindenburg's fastest picture shows that;
 He drinks copiousy
 He eats tremendously.
 He talks only of himself.
 Hes brutal even to his own sol diers."
 This word picture of the German general was made by an Amriecan woman who was compelled to wait upon his at meals when he made her home m Russian Poland his head quarters.
 Mime. Laura Turcynowicz, formerly Miss Blackwell of New York, fled to this country with her children after suffering every conceivable hardship during the German invasion of her noma The noted American beauty (presumably for reasoa) does not give Hindenburg's name in her narrative. but she names the town and gives marks of positive Identification and terms him "The Great Man."
 She is the first American woman who has seen and actually waited upon the German general since the terrible de- vastation of Poland began. In When the Prussians Came to Poland" just published by G. F. Putnam's Sons,she gives this account of what she saw while nursing her children, frightfully Ill with typhus. in what was then her own beautiful home. but it is now completely ruined and it's contents destroyed or stolen. She says:

 had hoped to be let alone, that i: would not be necessary to serve: but 1 was not allowed that luxury It was necessary to serve coffee and look pleasant doing so. The Great Man paid little attention to me except to greet me courteously. I could have done with less courtesy if he had given different orders to the army.
 All the misery. the awful orders, came from him. the "Shrecklichkeit" we were face to face with. By his orders, the prisoners were cruelty de
