 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help. else they suffer loom constipation. The condi- ton is perfectly natural. It is just IS natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active cs youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
 So all old people recd Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow els must be kept active. This is im- portant at all ages but never so much as at fifty.
 Age is not a time for harsh physics Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But lash cant be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and na- tural tonic. One that can be con stantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 dents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep. (AdVt ]

Cane IS king in balmy Cuba. Fore casts of the coming crop place it at a.4UU.O00 tons. The annual average value of Cuban sugar prior to the war was Sl6O,OO0,O00. The first year oi the war raised this to $225,0O0,0O New 1t is expected that the crop will go S275,OOO, ,0O0. The are 2.500,00O people in Cuba. A single crop in the United States bearing this per capita production would amount to eleven billion dollars
 No other export from any Latin American country equals that of Cuban cane fields. Throughout the sugar districts are to be seen flat cars loaded with the huge machinery required for the great million dollar mills. Millions are sometimes ex- berded in equipment to get the cane to the mills. Thousands of men, armed with machetes, attack the fields of big plantation, in great squads
 A number of men come into Cuba every year for the cane cutting sea- son which lasts from the middle of December to the middle of summer but the labor available for the suga, industrv is not sufficient Tn fact, the shortage of labor today in Cuba is tte great handicap for any further extension of the sugar business in the island.
 At the great sugar plant at Pres son Cuba, there are 87 miles of standard gauge rock haIlasted rail .oat extending from the cane fields to the factory There are eleven 45.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-01-23

ton mogul locomotives and strings of cane cars that would extend for miles if placed in 2 single line. There are wharves, docks, lumber mill, foundry. etc., besides the big sugar mill. The plant has capacity of 3,700 to $500 tons of cane each day It produces from 2.500 to 5000 bags of sugar day. A bag of crude sugar as sent to the United States for refining usually weighs 32O lbs. and is 96 per cent pure sugar This plant can produce, therefore. 9G0 GOO lbs. of sugar every 24 hours, enough to sweeten the coffee, milk, or choco- late of everybody in the United States.
 To keep this factory supplied with cane is man's-siZed job. Trains of cut cane are fed into the factory on schedule time On the other hand t is the duty of the factory superln- tendent to grind his cane as soon as
 it comes in and the big plant boons along in the bright Cuban moonlight just as hard as by day At the Preston plant two 25-ton electric cranes take a whole load of cane out of car anc weigh it while it Is suspended in the air From the hopper the cane is carried by cane conductor to giant crusher where the stalks are sub, r;tted to pressure of 250 tons After this it passes through the rolls of the mill which al smoother thar those of the crusher and where it is submitted to 800 tons pressure The cane after being crushed is called haggose and goes to the furnaces tt

PINE BLUFF MtK
 FOR REPEAL OF
 INSURANCE LAW
Petitions Urge Legislators to Support Bill Abolish
 ing Actuarial Bureau.

Committees representing the Pine Bluff Cotton exchange and business interests generally in Pine Bluff, yes terday circulated petitions. which were said to have been numel uusly signed, and which will be presented the Jefferson county delegation Y, the legislature, urging them to support the bill now pending before the gen eral assembly. which. if adopted, will repeal the bill which created the ac- tuarial bureau.
 Since the actuarial bureau was es- tablished some years ago. there has been continued and increasing >om- plaint. to the effect that the bureau is operated exclusively for the b>.nef!: and advantage of the fire insurance companies, and not fer the benefit oi property owners, some of the com rlaints calling attention to the fact that in many of the cities of the state, despite greatly increased fire preven- ton anc fire fighting methods, in surance rates have shown steady and constant increase.
 It is pointed cut by men who are supporting the bill to abolish the bu- reau, that in many of the cities and towns of the state, considerable eX- pense has been undergone to carry out suggestions of the bureau. without bringing the reductions in insurance rates which, it is said to have been promised, would be tho result.
 Tn Pine Bluff. business interests have been continually complaining over the actions of the bureau, and particularly has the complaint been male that despite the very great i'm provement in fire fighting facilities here, which was accomplished at heavy expense, insurance rates are higher than was the case two years ago. It was only a short time ago that the insurance companies an- nounced al considerable increase in all rates here in abandoning the old rule that three years of insurance would be given for two years premium.
