Dear Sirs:. AS this is Friday we
have to write you the usual letter on
the condition Of our gardens.
I wish the vegetables would grow

are not sure about being subject to the tax, better ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make your re- turn if subject to tax.
 Of course, persons resident in other counties may, if they want to, come and see the income tax man who will be at Pine Bluff.
 The collector suggests that every body start figuring up his income and expenses now so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean fam. fly expenses, money used to pay off the principal of debt, new machin- cry, buildings, or anything like that. They mean what you spend in mak- ing your money-interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, stock bought for feeding, rent (except for your dwelling), etc. In- come includes about every dollar you get.

NEGRO GETS DEATH
 IN CAMDEN COURT

Camden, Dec. 2O.-The death sen tence was pronounced on John Jack son, negro, in the Ouachita circuit court Tuesday. A jury found him guilty of the murder of a negress named Lily Mitchell. The trial lasted nearly two days. The verdict was reached in eight minutes after, the jury went from the court room to consider it.
 Jackson killed the Mitchell woman last August at Reader. He claimed on the witness stand that he shot in self defense. He said that he had arranged to meet his common law wife at the Mitchell house, with the connivance and consent of Lily Mitchell. When he reached the door, he said, the Nit chell woman pointed a gun at him and ordered him away. He says he turned to leave, heard the gun click, turned just in time to find it aimed at him, and fired to save his own life.

He will have his office in the postoffice building In Pine Bluff, and will be there every day ready and willing to help persons subject to the income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services. q,
 How many income tax payers Will there be in Jefferson county. Can you guess how many married persons lly- ing with wife or husband will have net incomes of $2,00O or over and how many unmarried persons will have net incomes of $1,000 or over this year
 then you know. The collector of ln- ternal revenue estimates that there will be 1,758 tax payers in this county
 Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided fo1 the purpose before March l, 1918. De- cause a good many people don't uil- derstand the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the govern. ment is sending in this expert to do il for them. But the duty is on the tax
 payer to make himself known to the government. If he doesn't make re turn as required before March 1, hf may have to pay penalty ranging from $20 to S1 ,00O, pay fine or g to jail. So if you don't want to takt chances on going to jail, you better call on the income tax man. If yot

ORIGIN OF RED
 CROSS XMAS SEAL

Nine years ago Miss Emily P. Bis sell of Wilmington, Dela., a we'll
 known social worker, conceived the
 idea of the Red Cross Christmas seal.
 Miss Bissell knew from personal ex-
 perience that the only way to fight
 tuberculosis was by means of a pop
 ular campaign of education, and she
 knew this could not be carried on
 without money.
 She got the idea of raising this
 money at Christmas time. when the spirit of humanity is at it's height, from an article by Jacob Riis, in which he described the stamps used by the Norwegians in their fight against the disease. If the Norwegians could raise money in this way, Miss Bissell argued, why not the Americans? She consulted her friends, secured all the publicity she could and launch ed the movement It proved to be a wonderful success, and thousands ot Christmas parcels went out bearing the gay little seals. People were de lighted with them. They added to the liked the idea of helping a big cause
 in this unique way.
 By IhristmIas $3,0OO had been
 raised. Miss Bissell was elated. She
 saw great future for the little seals
 but she had difficulty in making others see it. She appealed to the American Red Cross to take over the venture enlarge it and conduct the sale on 2 vast scale. The Red Cross authori ties lat first could not see how they could make this part of their ma tional program, but Miss Bissel proved to them that fighting tuber' culosis by means of-harmless and at tractive Christmas stamps.was worthy peace-time propaganda.
 With some misgiving and lat slight cost the Red Cross printed the seals for the second years campaign. The
 result more than justified Miss Bis
 sells expectations, for $135,000 wortf
 of seals was sold in 1908. The Christ ! mas seal became national instltu tion. The management of the sale was turned over to the National Associa ;! ton for the Study and Prevention O Tuberculosis and each year since the1 sales have increased by leaps ant 1 bounds.
 Last year 105,000,00O stamps wer' l sold, bringing the total sales for tn
 nine years up- to $4,300,000. Thi
 year the 300.0O0,000 mark has beel
 set as ia goal and the American Ret
 Cross and the National Association are striving to raise the record break 1 ing fund of $3,000,000 with which t l fight consumption.

White Bread Eatteninn.

White bread is fattening because We
rarely digest it completely. Starchy
foods are quite unaffected by the gas
trio juices which digest the meats,
Their digestive ferments are obtained
chiefly from the saliva in the mouth,
which therefore should be thoroughly
mixed with each mouthful before swal-
lowing But white bread is so soft
and lacking in substance that we I'M
consciously swallow it long before it
has had fair chance to become sulfi-
ciently fermented with the digestive
saliva. The result is delayed digestion
Qf digestion takes place at alb, and at
the best the starch is very apt to be
converted into disGguring unwanted
and unhealthful fat.

FILTH, FINGERS AND FLIES.
These Ars the Most Potent Factors In
Spreading Disease.

Fingers as disease carriers rank next
to flies. Dirty fingers and finger nails
may carry about with them as many
disease germs as dirty flies. For this
reason filth, fingers and flies are said
to be the most common means by
which disease is spread. A safe rule
that has been given with reference TO
avoiding any infection that the hands
might carry is to wash the hands i'm
mediately before eating, before han
ding. preparing or serving food, after
attending the sick and after handling
anything dirty.
A common habit with many people
that is not only dangerous from n
health point of view, but is disgusting
ly indecent from every point Of view,
is the constant picking Of the nose and
mouth with the fingers. \ safe rule
and decent one is to keep the hands
away from the face, particularly the
nose and mouth, and II these parts
need attention use clean handler-
chief. 4 dirty handkerchief is as dan
gerous and may be as much a means
OF spreading disease as dirty fingers.
The United States public health serv-
fee says: Disease germs lead hand
TO mouth existence. If the human race
would learn TO keep the unwashed hand
away from the mouth many human dis
eases would be greatly diminished. We
handle infectious matter more or less
constantly. and we continually carry
the hands 10 the mouth. If the hands
have recently been In contact with In
fictitious matter the germs of disease
may In this way be introduced into the
body. Many persons wet their fingers
with saliva before counting money,
turning the pages OF book or perform.
Ing similar acts In this case the
process IS reversed, the infection being
carried to the object handled, there TO
await carriage 10 the mouth OF some
other careless person"
If anybody doubts the filth of their
own hands and fingers let them take
note of the many unclcan things they
handle within days time. The door
knob which everybody handles will be
only one source where tile hands may
get the germs and filth of some care.
