With His Friend.

In an office building In the down.

upper floor, with an express elevator
service for members, says the New

INSURANCE AMONG THE SWISS
Thrifty Person May Guard Himself
Against Almost Any Form of Dis
aster to Be Dreaded.

A system of insurance against unem-
ployment prevails in some of the Swiss
cantons, whereby persons contributing
certain sum per month are guaran-
teed employment or paid weekly in
demnity for the period during which
they are out of work. Such persons
must, however, be able to show that
their unemployment is not their own
fault. This plan of insurance Is, how
ever not general, nor is it very popu-
lar, as it involves many details which
make 1t difficult for the beneficiaries
to secure the payment of the bene-
fits.
Employees of Swiss Industrial insti-
tutions are required to insure them
selves against sickness or accident,
and this measure also obviates to a
great extent the necessity for public
charity when wage-earners are de-
prived of their Income on account of
illness or accident. Under the COM
pulsory insurance act the expense is
divided between the employer and the
insured. This plan works most salts
factorily, as the workers feel more
secure in their employment.
There are also other systems by
which employers and employees can
protect themselves against the expense
OF medical treatment and supplies In
case of illness or accident. The So
ciety for the protection of domestic
servants assumes, for instance, the
responsibility for the care and treat
ment of those enrolled upon its rec
ords.

the creators of ideas, the men who
furnish the inspirations and theories,
while men of action"sare the workers,
who carry out the plans furnished by
the others. Sometimes the two are
combined in one, as in the case of Ma

one and the same time great in both

Swat the Fly!
Don't allow flies in your house.

K Don't allow flies in your house. F. Don't permit them near your food Respectfully milk. r. Don't buy foodstuffs where flies are tolerated.
 Don't eat where flies have acess to the food.
 Do not patronize grocery stores and markets that harbor and feed flies. Insist upon screens. < Fruit la filth"-the kind served from sidewalk stands after being ex- posed to street dirt and flies.
 Screens on windows and doors to keep out flies will do more to safe guard your treasures than will locks to keep out burglars.
 Not every fly that comes along is carrying filth and germs, but many of them are and you can't tell which is which. Take no chances-swat all.
 Because your neighbor throws gar bage in the alley is no3 reason why you should follow his example-it's $ a reason why you should set him a good example.
 With all houses well severed and screened, the flies that feed upon the filth and kitchen refuse would largely disappear and the health conditions would be to that extent improved/
 Keep screen over articles of food. Don't let flies get near the pantry, kitchen or dining room.
 The only safe way is to keep out the flies.

CHILDREN HATE
 PILLS, CAL0MEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give California Syrup of
 Figs"

Look back at your childhood days Remember the "dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little "insides' are injured by them.f
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only de- licious California Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoon ful given today saves sick child to- morrow.
 Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Adv.

FEMALE FOOTWEAR.

Once upon a time female footwea, was as unimportant in the realm oi artistic design as the boots men wore in a trip through a swamp. But since that time-not so very long ago-a wonderful change has taken place, as is evident daily along oul main streets.
 Not only are the shoes of our sis ters, sweethearts and wives-God bless 'em-higher than ever before actually and in price, but they go ir for color schemes of the most pro- nounced sort.
 A color scheme formerly was heard of mainly in connection with society events, tea parties or church socia- bles; now they have reached the shoes milady wears to an extent suggestin wall paper.
 The newest designs call for broad stripes and gold brocades. If il keeps up we won't know where the skirt lets go and the shoes begin.

ALL JAPAN AWAITING,
 OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS

Tokio, April 19.-All Japan is awaiting in suspense the outcome of the great political battle to be fought out at the polls tomorrow. Never be- fore have the issues at stake in cam- paign for the election of members of the house of representatives been so momentous and never before has the feeling between the opposing parties been so high.
 The very essence of constitutional government is involved in the strug- gle. Field Marshal Count Terauchi, the prime minister, and his chief lieu tenant, Baron Shimpei Goto, who holds the post of home minister, have made clear their conception of the issue. It is their announced determination not to bow to the will of a "tyrannical in the house of representa- tives. Count Terauchi dissolved the house in January when the majority constitutional party backed resolu- tion of want of confidence in the min- istry.

WAR AND CHILDREN.

Tho influence of the war on the
 children of all the belligerent nations
 is ve~.., bad Not only has juvenile
 delinquency increased, but more
 children have been put to work when they should be in school, the truant laws have been to a large extent dis carded, home life has teen broken up in many instances because mama is
 helping to make munitions and doing
 other work of men who are at the front, and the health of the babies and mothers is usually at low eb3. In the quest of victory, all other
 considerations are swept aside, and mother and child-the most noble at tribute of enlightened humanity's first consideratior-is a secondary consideration.
 Similar harm should be prevented
 to the children of the United States l despite tho war. The children's bu- reau in Washington announced that there must be a strict enforcement 1 of all child-labor and school attend
 ance laws, and under no consideration must infant welfare work be neglected l by public and private agencies. This will meet the approval of all citizens who look further ahead than their noses.

IDLE SHOE WORKERS JOIN
 AMERICAN RED GROSS

Lynn, Mass, April 19.-Because of notice served by twenty of the lead
 ing shoe manufacturers of Lynn that their factories will be closed after to- morrow, more than 600 members of Women's Stitchers' Local No. 57, United Workers of America, have of- fered their services to the Lynn branch of the American Red Cross. The members of the union have voted unanimously to give at least one hour of their time each week in making bandages and other articles to be turned over to the Red Cross society.
 The closing of the Lynn shoe fac torly will throw nearly 15,000 workers out of employment. The "peace agree ment" between the manufacturers and the United States Shoe Workers of America expires tomorrow, but the manufacturers insist that the closing of their factories is not induced by labor troubles of any kind. It is un- derstood, however, that demands for an increased scale of wages have been formulated by the shoe workers.

IMPROVEMENT OF FOURTH
 AVENUE.

The Rotary club of Pine Bluff has undertaken to assist in prosecuting to a successful conclusion the plan for the improvement of Fourth ave- itde, on which Mayor Bloom and oth- CTS interested in the welfare of the city have been working for many months.
 This street has been left unim- proved too long for Pine Bluffs good. One hundred and fifty thousand more travellers annually pass juds- pfent upon Pine Bluff from what they can see of the city from carwin- dows. And, of course, they see Fourth avenue-a wide boulevard, lined with pretty homes, but the street itself in anything but good condition for several months in the year.
 Frequently, after heavy rains pools of water stand for two or three days ir parts of Fourth avenue. The trav- efer noting this must form an entire- ly erroneous impression of Pine Bluff and its people. It is as though we were deliberately putting our worst side foremost-about the same as the family which would keep it's back yard neat and clean, with a nice lawn and attractive shrubber and plants, and dump all the tin cans, refuse and trash in front of the house where all passersby could seq. and-judge of the pride of the fam fly there residing. For, while we have many miles of paved and we'll kept streets, we exhibit to the trav- eler only an unimproved thorough fare.
 Mayor Bloom has received from the Iron Mountain most attractive pr6bositiOn. It is calculated that the work proposed can be accomplished at d cost to the property-owners of about $25,000. the railroad offering to bear the cost of curbing and paw ing crossings at street intersections
 more than half of the total cost The city has consented to contribute $7,0O0, leaving just s1SG00 as the part for owners of property on Fourth avenue to invest in this improve meat.
 H we can't get this street inn proved under this plan, it is likely so go unimproved for many more years and continue to be the poorest kind of an advertisement for Pine Bluff and Pine Bluff people.

The south has ever been a buyer of food and feed, though no section is better favored by nature for growing foodstuffs and feedstutfs easily and cheaply. We are going to change our policy this year, and once the benefits of growing our own food and feed arc realized, the one-crop system will be in the discard. And that will mean that the south will prosper as never before.
