HELPFUL WORDS
From a Pine Bluff Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful?
 Does it ache especially after exer- tion?
 Is there soreness in the kidney region?
 These symptoms suggest weak kid neys.
 If so there is danger in delay.
 Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
 Give your trouble prompt atten- tion.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 Your neighbors use and recommend them.
 Read this Pine Bluff testimony.
 Mrs. w. E. Lambeth, 1901 East Sixth street, says: q, and others of the family have used Doan's Kidney Pills for troubles caused by weak kid neys, such as pain in the back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular kidney action. Doan's have always brought prompt relief. We are never without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills in the house and generally get them at the Mann Tankersley Drug Co.," :,
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Lambeth recommends. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.- Adv.

JUDGE c. M. PIHLPOT
 BUILDS COTTON GIN

Judge c. M. Philpot is building at Ferda what is to be one of the most modern cotton gins in the state of Arkansas, and expects to have it completed in few days. The gin is to be operated by electricity, and will be ready to begin ginning cot ton as soon as the Arkansas Light < Power company's high power line to Lonoke is finished, which is ex- pected to be within a few weeks.
 The Philpot gin is to have the Isummus system, and will consist of three ,saw stands, automatic feed, airblast, and have a capacity of 30 bales day.
 Judge Philpot says that the out lock fer a larger cotton crop than that of last year in the Ferda sec ticn is good, and that the late corn and other crops are also ill fine con- dition. The early corn was almost a failure, due to the drouth, but that planted since the middle of April is in good condition. The acreage de- voted to corn, hay and other feed crops is larger than that of the pre- ceding year.

Omar Khayyam Goes
To Front Favorite
In Withers To-day
Campfire and Hourless Also
Entered in Big Race
at Belmont

Omar Khayyam, winner Of the Ken
lucky Derby; Campfire, king Of the two
vear-olds last season and winner OF the
Toboggan Handicap on Memorial Day,
and Hourless. ranked second in the two
year-olds of 1916, will meet in the
Withers at Belmont Park this after
noon. They are the outstanding trio OF
a field Of eight named to start, and turf
history may be written in this one
mile strife on the Newmarket of Amer
lea.
The record for the Withers is ;38 20
established by James Buffers Spur last
wear. The track record for a mile at
Belmont Park is 1856 3-5, hung up b.
stromboli when the Fair Play st. Pris-
ella gelding was a three-yesr-old, in
1914.
Nav BE New Standard
With fair conditions a new standard
NAV be established for the race, If not
for the track. Omar Khayyam has
established himself as one capable OF
sustaining mis- speed over distance
while Campfire is swift and powerful IN
the extreme. Reports emanatlng from
the Belmont Stables give assurance OF
the condition of Hourless. and so
battle fit for the gods OF racing Is IN
Harry Payne Whitney's chestnut colt
Ricketv. II. VI. Hewitt's Skeptic. Ballad,
from the stable of James Butler; Wood
tran. stable mate Of Hourless. and Lu-
cius complete the field. There is some
doubt of the last two starting, how
ever.
Omar Khayyam is fayorite for the
race. and not without cause. HIS per-
formance in the Kentucky Derby was
most impressive. Rating of the pace
which Star Gazer. Ticket and Rickety
set for about mile, he came on TO
win bv some two lengths going away al
the end. The Marco Lisma colt was
bumped about and interfered with IN
the early running, but went right on
about the business of winning Just the
same. ~.
We're the race at more than one mIle'
there would be little hesitancy abou
picking Omar khayyam TO win. he is
a trife slow to break. however, and ne
will not be able TO give horse OF the
stamp Of Campfire any too much ground
at the start. With both in full career
there is little 10 choose. and those who
wish may pick and choose for them
selves.
4 Good Experience
Campfire showed the temper Of his
steel in the Toboggan Handicap. lie
stood off the great finish by StromDoli
and won as champions should win IN
races that test the heart and speed.
That race fitted him for the effort he
will have TO make to-day. K. T. Wilson.
his owner. and T. J. Healy are conn
dent that he will perform well to-day.
Hourless will make his first start for
this season. He is fit for the struggle,
and his schooling with the extensive
Belmont stable is equivalent TO actua!
racing experience. Under the guidance
OF Butwell he will give OF his best.
Ricketv may do better than in the ken
tuckv Derby. He was prominent IN
that race for the better part Of mile,
but finished no better than fourth. The
other horses can be allowed nothlhS
more than the racing chance.
There is some speculation as TO wnlcn
colors Omar Khayyam Will race under
He is 20 be sold at auction IN the pad

colt, and probably will bid for him.
