CIVIL WAR VETERAN
 SPLITS WOOD LIKE
 ATWENTY-
Is Hale and Hearty at Age of 72 After Suffering for Nearly 7 Years-Gains l5 Pounds on Tanlac.

"Last fall, some of my neighbors thought l wouldn't be able to live through the winter. l was so feeble that 1 couldn't carry bucket of wate,. from the yard to the house, without stopping to rest and change hands, but now, after taking Tanlac, I can carry two buckets, one in each hand, split wood like twentyyear-old and do anything I want to, and l have gain ed all of fifteen pounds"
 The above remarkable statement was made few days ago by J. w. Porter, of 1795 South Lauderdale street, Mem, phis, Tenn. MT. Porter, who is loved and admired for his upright and ster- ling character by all who know him, was sharpshooter in the First Mis- sissippi Battalion under General John ston during the Civil War.
 "I suffered general rundown con- dition along with indigestion and rheu- matism for at least six or seven years," he continued. q got so nearly everything l ate would sour on my stomach and form gas that was an- moving and very painful. They would have to blister my stomach sometimes to give me any relief and I practical ly lived on medicines. l didn't dare eat meat at all and they kept me on raw eggs and even that would some times hurt me. grew weaker from month to month and the rheumatism got so bad l couldn't raise my arms over my head and it just seemed to go over my whole body. I could hardly drag myself around the house and l was beginning to think the end was near.
 "I finally decided to try Tanlac and the very first bottle began to help me and I improved with each bottle. I am now eating just anything put be- fore me even fresh meats and all kinds fo vegetables, and nothing ever hurts me particle. My rheumatism is all gone and I haven't a pain or an ache and feel strong and unusually active for man seventy-two years old, and Tanlac hs done it all. My friends all marvel at what it has done for me and it is hardly necessary for me to tell you what think of it, but you can depend upon me to say a good word for Tanlac whenever I have the chance"

In her gorgeous salon, where wear CTS of crowns have been known to knock in vain for admittanca, an an- archist newspaper was prepared for the press. Her Roman bathroom, with it's swimming bath of Parian marble, was boarded over and used as an of flee, whence anarchist manifestoes were issued by the yard. Not even the great French revolution can show any thing quite so fantastic as this.
 Luckily for herself, however, Ma tilda Kshesinska, beside being a royal favorite, was also a popular idol of the people of Petrograd, and she has now had most of her jewels restored to her, together with such of her other belongings as were not destroyed in the first fury of the revolutionary out break.
 This will be at all events some measure of consolation for her, as Madame Kshesinska is reputel to pos sess more valuable jewels than any other living actress. When she came to London to fill dancing engage ment shortly before the war. she en- ployed a private detective to guard them. He slept in one of the suite of eight rooms rented by her at g fashionable hotel.
 Amongst her most prized posses sions are coronet of diamonds with sapphires the size of pigeon eggs, ano a golden, gem-encrusted wreath weighing pound and half, tribute from her admirers at the Petrograe imperial opera house. When the ravo
 lution broke out these and many other most portable valuables were taker for security to the Petrograd State bank by order of the new government of the city.

 Resident.
 We have been reading week after week in the local press of Pine Bluff citizens who hay been rid of dis dressing kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's Kidney Pills, and we have often wondered whether the sam. high opinion of this medicine is Q be found in our neighboring towns. This frank and earnes+ statement by a well-known and respected resident of Sherrill will set this doubt at rest.
 J. A. Ayers, Sherrill, Ark, says: II had symptoms of kidney trouble that gave me great annoyance. I tried different medicines, but Doan's Kid ney Pills were the first one tn 1t helped me. After had used three boxes I was in much better shape and I am only too pleased to give Doan's Kidney Pills my endorsement. l still take this remecy off and on when I feel in need of it and it al- ways gives good results.''

standard in concise and simple manner. Referring to the farmer, he said the bonded warehouse is a splen- did thing for, the farmers, as under this section, the farmers can go into the banking business for themselves, lend farmers money at much lower rate of interest than the prevailing rates in financial circles, and can do much more for themselves than they can without the bonded warehouse.
 He adverted to the manner in which cotton buyers fix the price they will pay, instead of offering to buy at certain prices. He said the stan dardization of cotton by the govern ment will correct the evil of loss through sampling and lack of grad ing. Under the law, the planter will have the sample taken at the gin; it will be wrapped in paper bearing his name and address, and sent to his office at Little Rock. The grade will be given in strict accord with the federal standard, and it will command the price according to it's grade.
 He said the cotton farmers, as rule, cannot grade the cotton them selves; they cannot employ cotton classers. and this has placed them at the mercy of men who would take ad vantage of their lack of knowledge on this most important detail. Under the present regulation, the department acts as classer and the farmer is as sured of correct grading or classifi- cation
 As to the public and private gins, he said the public gins should be reg ulated.
 MT. Crockett, president of the Jeff ferson-Lincoln Cotton Growers asso- citation, said that many of the owners of private gins have no wish to gin outside cotton. They simply wish to gin their own cotton, and for this reason he felt that the private gin should not be placed ill the same category with the public gin, and he, S'5 well as other private ginners, would carry the matter through the courts, as has been started, until it is taken to the highest tribunal for final adjudication.
 Speaking of the bonded warehouse MT. Page said that the company can be organized with capital stock of $25,O00. Twenty per cent of the earn ings shall be set aside for a reserve fund.- and the dividends shall not ex- ceed 10 per cent.
 MT Page was pressed to make another visit to Pine Bluff, and said he would be pleased to come again and will notify the general manager of the association, MT. Graham, as soon as he is able to arrange the date on his calendar.
 While going about the city last evening, Mir. Page lost his belt key ring, with a large bunch of keys at tached.

WAR PROPAGANDA

newspaper, political organization ol
commercial enterprise on a matter
of such Importance as the conduct Of
a war would be phenominal. 1t is moi
at present the chief desiderata, but
the spirit of the nation towards peace
is of paramount significance.
War propaganda of most despicable
character has been furthered by many
newspapers and magazines as well as
political and educational leaders
throughout the country. These organs
of opinion and directors of thought
endorsed readily the President S
declaration of a state of war between
Germany and the United States and
the entry of this nation into the con-
f1ict. Now they are critizing the
government because the diplomatic
negotiations are not carried on in
public and because Wilson is fostering
the theory of peace without victory
through the promotion of information
al understanding.
All such propagandists understand
in human nature or see in the destiny
of the world is the force of reeking
tube and iron shard. Behind these
elements they do not perceive or
comprehend the power of mightier
conception of lasting peace. A defeat
ed and crushed Germany is their
sole desire and ambition, they are
vehement in their charges of dis
loyalty of others and disdainful in
their attitude toward those enter
tanning hopes of peace.
They are detrimental and danger
Gus factors in a democracy. Especially
is this true of America and at this
critical time when the world is
afiame with struggle and strife. In
directly aiding the enemy by present
ing an ill-omened attitude of the
American spirit in the war, these pro-
dlt dioO " INV
perplexities and difficulties of high
minded, noble and courageous leader.
President wilson's plans are moi Who'll
ly set forth, but the spirit of American
fairness and receptiveness for any
proposals from the German people
for the adjudication of differences are
clearly indicated by him and deserve
the support of every leader in a
democracy such as that Of. the United
States.
War propaganda toward just and
lasting peace is in accord with Ameri-
can principles, regardless of the
sacrifice necessary to obtain it, but
as an end in itself the crushing of
Germany is not compatible with
President wilson's high conception of
peace and should not be fostered or en-
couraged by an enlightened and fair
minded people.

POLITY CLUB REORGANIZES
Adopts Platform to Show No Sympathy
With Kaiser.

The reorganization of the Inter-
national Polity Club of the University
was affected Tuesday night with the
following platform as an outline for
the years work and to demonstrate
that the club in no way sympathizes
with the kaiser:
1.-The International Polity Club Of
the University will devote its energies
during the coming year to study and
discussion of the foreign policy of the
United States as it has been outlined
by President Wilson during the past
year. The establishment Of new in
ternational society has already been
accomplished by the United States
entering the war, and the energies and
loyalties of the whole nation have
been enlisted in perpetuatiEg it, and
in insuring its security for the future.

both sides of the border. Controlled
or subsidized news-agencies used tc
misinform, or inflame or irritate BY
the government of one country could
have provoked the other country as
to bring on war. What is true of the
relations between Canada and the
United States is equally true, though
in different and varying degree, OF
the relations between all other ma
tions.
When terms of peace are written il
will not make so much difference
what boundary lines are temporarily
marked upon the worlds map if the
people within those boundary lines
are permitted to express themselves
freely and to talk over them at will
and without fear of restraint. Di-
vision fences are most dangerous
when they are elevated into impene-
trable and unscalable walls. Agree
ment upon freedom of the seas is de-
sirable that the worlds commerce of
material freight may be carried by
merchant navies without hindrance,
but agreement upon freedom of the
press is necessary that the worlds
commerce of opinion may be carried
far and wide to all lands.
An international free press would
mean real disarmament.
