New York. April 5-Opening: Further aggressive selling by the short interest was witnessed at the opening Of today's stock market, particularly in the various war shares. Declines of one to two points were made by Bethlehem Steel, new stock, Central Leather and the leading coppers, with as much for General Motors and four points for Sloss Sheffield Steel. United States Steel lost & substantial fraction with American Can and Marine pfd. Specialties in general were heavy. Railroads also reacted, Reading losing a point. Recessions extended to the railroad bonds. Pennsylvn mia general 4ns yielding a full point.
 Noon-Marines and a ecW isolated specialties steadied the list for a brief period after the opening, but a broad .er selling movement soon set in. Traces of liquidation in various repre- sentative stocks were attributed to in- creasing concern regarding war tax problems. United States lost two points with two> to almost five for other steel and iron issues. Metals and motors averaged two point losses and Ohio Gas increased it's setback to six points. Fractional rallies occurred at noon. Bonds were irregular, in vestment railroads showing heavi- ness.

Hopes Women Will
 Adopt This Habit
 As We'll As Men
Glass of hot water each morn. Ing helps us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh. ,..

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous and vivacious-a good clear skin; a nat ural, rosy complexion and freedom from illness are assured only by clean, healthy blood. If only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of the morning inside bath, what gratifying change would take place.
 Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic- looking men, women and girls wits pasty or muddy complexions; instead of the multitudes of nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain flags" and pessimists we should see virile, optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked peo- pie everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking, each morning before breakfast, glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and teen yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and freshening the entire alimen- tary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, bil- iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a plaid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remark able change in both health and appear ance awaiting those who practice in ternal sanitation. We must remem- Der that inside cleanliness is more important than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to con- taminate the blood, while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.-Adv.

STACKER" GETS " nITlEN" FROM
 A LOCAL GIRL
;Suitor Who Sought to Evade Army Service Is Told to
 Prove Manhood.

Pine Bluffs first "slacker" has been discovered and also, by the same token, it has beer demonstrated that Pine Bluff girls will not marry man who seeks such means of avoid ing military service.
 The young woman in the case-and she is the person most concerned, after all-is averse to having her name mentioned in connection with the affair. and naturally, to name the man in the case would only serve o identify the lady. Hence, so far IS the newspapers are concerned, the parties shall be nameless. But their friends know the circumstances, and their friends have other friends, and the other friends have still other friends, so that, as ripple on the surface of pond, the story will be told and retold, and the young man will gain full credit for his attempt thus to avoid answering the call 70 arms.
 The man had visited the young woman several times, it is said, and is known to have adm fred her. He was one of several suitOrs-and not the favored suitor, at that. But cont gress passed the war resolution, and then the authorities let it be known unmarried men would be called to the colors, while married men would be exempted. MT. Man then proceed ed to Little Rock, and obtained a license to wed Miss Young Lady-and the young woman knew nothing about it until he returned, called upon her. told her he had the license, and wanted to know "how about it." It can be imagined with what scron the young woman-any normal young woman knoWs-treated the proposition. MT. Man was told to go hence and show that he was mal, and not to dodge his patriotic duty, by hiding behind woman's petti- coat He was told also he was not a favored suitor, and that he might claim no reward for any change n demeanor, and, generally, her opin- ion of him was clearly expressed by the young woman.
 Anyway, MT. Man is the first "slacker" in Pine Bluff-and if there are more like him, they are yet to be discovered.

AT ONCE! STOPS STOMACH MISERY
 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" Makes Sick, Sour,
 Classy StOmachs Feel Fine.

Do some foods you eat hit back taste good, but work badly; fermenr into acids and cause sick, sour, gassy stomach? Now, Mir. or Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps neutralize the eX- cessive acids in the stomach so your food won't sour and upset you. There never was anything so safely quick, so certainly effective. No difference how badly your stomach is upset you usually get happy relief in five min utes, but what pleases you most is that it helps to regulate your stomach so you can eat your favorite foods without fear.
 Most remedies give you relief some times-they are slow, but not sure. "Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neu- tralizing the acidity, so the misery won't come back very quickly.
 You feel different as soon as i"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact with the stomach-distress just vaa- ishes-your stomach gets sweet, n, gases, no belching, no eructations Of undigested food, your head clears an l you feel fine.
 Go now, make the best investment you ever made, by getting large fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any drug store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suf- fer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach disorder due to aci dfermen- tatiOn.-Advt.

GX-ASS)STANT JUDGE SUPREME
 COURT IS DEAD
Judge Richard H. Powell, 90, Was Once Law Part
 ner of Elisha Baxter.

Fort Smith, April 12.-Judge Rich ard H. Powell, since 1860 one of the most prominent lawyers and public men in the state of Arkansas, died to- day at the age of 90 years, after a rather brief illness, although because of his advanced years, Judge Powell has been somewhat feeble for con- siderable period.
 Judge Powell was born in Sussex county, Va., near Petersburg, April IS, 1927, and lacked but six days of being 90 years old. He was the son of Capt. Thomas Powell, who moved to Bed ford county, Tenn, where Richard H. Powell grew up, working on farm until he was 21 years of age. Then he taught school and studied law. In 1855 he was student at the Cum berland Law school, and immediately upon graduating was admitted to the bar. He settled at Lewisburg, Tenn, and practiced there until 1860. In ;that year he moved to Batesville, where he entered into a law partner ship with Elisha Baxter. The next year, however, he removed to Izard county, where he settled on farm, and where he made his home nearly all the remainder of his lifetime.
 In 1862 Judge Powell was mem Der of the legislature, but afterward he entered the Confederate army and served till the close of the war, being made prisoner in 1863 in Freeman's battalion. In 1866 he became judge of. the Seventh judicial circuit but was busted in 1868. In 1878 he was elected judge of the Third judicial circuit, which position he held until 1892, when he became associated jus tice of the state supreme court, re- maining on that bench until 1896.
 Judge Powell was married three times, his first wife being Miss Jane Taylor Temple, whom he married in Bedford county, Tenn. June 19, 1849; his second wife being Mrs. Harriet T. Herbert, whom he married in Izard county May 15, 1873, and his third wife being Mrs. Susannah E. Davidson, daughter of Joseph Gardner of North Carolina, whom he married on May 16, 1878. He leaves numerous progeny.
