 Resolutions adopted provided for making the conference on medical edu- cation a permanent section of the as- sociation. recommended to the govern ment that all medical men be exempt- ed from draft because of the necessity for physicians at home and urged the government to make possible minor operations for men who were declar- ed unfit for service. enabling them to pass second examination.

PAYROLL BANDITS
 SHOT BY POSSE
 NEAR NEWCASTLE E

Newcastle. Pa., Nov. 15.-Posses searching for four bandits. who es- caped with a $17,000 payroll today after killing Tommy Sack, an em- ploye of the P. w. Johnson Lime. stone company and wounding A. c. Farrell. superintendent, found one man dead in clump of bushes near here late today and shot another one. who was hiding in a tree. The dead man. identified as Mat Galic. had $4,700 on his person. while from Mayek Zorko ,who was shot in the mouth and captured, $5,000 was re. covered. Zorko Is expected to re- cover.
 Deputy sheriffs and members of the state constabulary who accom- panied 200 workmen in the search ex- pressed the opinion that Galik had been killed by one of the other ban dits. saying no member of the posse had fired a shot up to the time Ga liks' body was found. NO trace had been found late tonight of the other two bandits who are believed to have escaped with the remainder of the money, $7,3O0.

What is declared to be the largest express shipment of automobiles ever brought to Pine Bluff was received Wednesday afternoon by the Pine Bluff Buick Sales company. Eight Buick cars, all "sixes'l were in the shipment which was brought to Pine Bluff in two express cars via the Cot ton Belt.

 J. F. Harbour, manager ,ol, the Pine Bluff Auto Sales company, said the express offered the only means of transportation now to get Buick cars from the factory as rapidly as the de- mand necessitates, and that his com pany thus indicated it's desire to give the very best service possible.

Several hundred spectators of the Pine Bluff High school football team are planning to accompany the Ze- bras to Little Rock Saturday when the annual game between the locals and the Little Rock High school war riors will be played.

 out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live we'll, eat well, digest we'll, work well, sleep we'll, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisons stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well. should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracing 2 large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; ohters who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly somplexions are urged to get quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone pronounc- ed crank on the subject of internal sanitation.-Adv.
