THE HEATHEN.

From The Norfold Va.,) Landmark.
The heather in his folly eats anything that's good,
doesn't try choose the food that science he should
He dies grayhared and weary at fourscoe years and en
And what soey him is that he can't eat them
Keep away from pickles. keep away from spice.
Keep away from cabbage, cornfield peas and rice.
Never eat thing that's sweet, and always eat cold
Andthus you your intellect from growing
The heather has three meals day and sometimes night
He thinks his early breakfast to be his Unborn right;
He rises in the morning and hears his hunger call =
He heard that science proves isn't there at all
Keep away from breakfast keep away from tea,
Keep away from lunches, wherever they be.
Never let your midday meal be either large rich
And every morse you may take be careful which which
The heather drinks the water that bubbles from the spring.
He thinks that if it sakes his thirst it is the very thing
He'll kiss his sweetheart the ipe instead of the chin
And not suspect that he commits a scientific sin.
Keep away from poywogs, angle-worms, and flies,
Keep away from insects of every sort and size.
Never breathe mcrobe in unless you cough him out &
For he may have the chckenpoX the measles and the govt
The heather fills his system with deadly drugs and weeds
He works until he's tired and rests than he needs;
He sets his brain in action when should be in
And then he adds dyspepsia to his many other woes
Keep away from appetite, keep away from thirst
These of all the foes earth to science the worst
Keep away from exercise keep away from thought
And will live until die if you're not sooner caught

MARSHAL SETTLES ESTATE OF MAN
 LONG MISSING

On the circumstantiai evidence that Frank Imamura, Japanese cook, employed at a camp on Turnagain arm is dead, his estate was closed here today and the money sent to his people in Japan.
 Imamura went insane several months ago and took to the woods. He was seen from time to time dur ing the early fall, but could not be caught. Winter set in with 20 below zero temperatures and he was not seen again, giving rise to the erason- able belief that he was frozen to death as there are no cabins or camps in which he might have taken shelter,
 Deputy U. S. Marshal Evans was named administrator and collected amounts due Imamura from several local Japanese, drew the remainder of his cash from the bank and after paying the necessary fee in the U. S. commissioners office, forwarded the balance to Japan by postal money order.

movements are to be made, but the
most important is the installation OF

be available at all times to furnish
a Christian burial for those who die
on the train. Cemeteries will be pro-
vided at intervals along the way.

Newspapers Fight Fire

In Arkansas 179 newspapers, of
which this paper is one, have been
doing their bit in publishing advice
on fire prevention and creating public
sentiment against carelessness. While
the average man knows that fire is
a scourge on the human race. he
has come to the attitude that the
blaze which takes its toll of human
life and burns mans home from
over his head, is. sort of an act
OF providence or of fate, and that
about the best one can do is hope
for the best. AS matter of fact we
Americans are so careless with fire
and SO negligent about fire protect
i've and resistive measures, that our
fire loss is tremendous toll on our
resources. Those who have studied
the matter predict that the time
will come when our laws will deal
severely with the man on whose
property fire originates. This is
common law in Europe and as a re-
suit the fire loss there is ridiculously
low as compared with ours.

Advice Free to Builders
Expert advice on architectural and
engineering matters affecting fire
protection and fire resistance in
buildings is given free in Arkansas
by the Arkansas Agricultural Bureau
