Commissioners of North Jefferson NO- Fence District Perfect.
 Organization.

The commission for the no-fence district on the north side of the river. created by bill introduced by sena- tor Caldwell in the last legislature, met yesterday at the law offices of Caldwell & Triplett, and perfected organization by the election of the following officers: Chairman, Jesse Core; secretary, J.

 About 50 miles of fencing is to be built, this to be hog-proof woven wire at the bottom with strands of barbed wire at the top. The commissioners calculate the fence cannot be com- pleted before next year, and the law will not become effective until that time. A provision of the act stipu- lates that the fence must be built around the territory included in the district before it becomes effective.

SAVE YOUR HAIR
 AND BEAUT|FY 1T
 WITH ''DANDER|NE"
Spend 25 Cents! Dandruff Disappears
 and Hair Stops Coming Out.
Try This! Hair Gets Beautiful, Wavy and Thick in Few
 Moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable soft ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it immedi- ately dissolves every particle of dan druff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life, and if not overcome it produces a fe- verishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; i then the hair falls out fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of knowl- toms Danderine at any drug store oi toilet counter; apply little as direct ed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you evei made.
 We sincerely believe, regardless oi everything else advertised, that if ,yot l desire soft, lustrous. beautiful hal and lots of it-no dandruff-no itch ing scalp and no more falling hair you must use Knowlton's Danderine

Committees Called to Meet Today to Provide Ways for Extending Hos.

Committees designated by the diff ferent Sunday schools of the city to provide hospitality in the homes for the delegates to attend the twenty ninth annual state convention Of the Arkansas Sunday School association to be held here April 24, p and 26 have been summoned to meet at the Y.

 With the convention only two weeks off, and with all attendance of at least 600 delegates assured, it was stated authOritatively last night that homes for only 40 delegates have been pro- vided In all other cities and towns o1 Arkansas where the association has held sessions the people have been generous in extending the hospitality of their roofs to the visiting delegates and it is expected that Pine Bluff resi- dents will not permit the city's repu- tation for hospitality to be sullied by failure in this instance. At the same time, it is realized that response tf the local entertainment committee appeal must be more generous thar it has been in order to properly care for the visitors.

CARNIVAL ENCOUNTERS
 TROUBLE OVER LICENSE
Ministers Oppose Operation of Shows; Sheriff Williams Gets Promise No Gambling Games
 Be Permitted.

Campbells United shows opened scheduled weeks engagement last night, after encountering difficulty 'n obtaining permission to operate at Forest park, outside the city limits.
 As a result of the publication in Little Rock newspaper of charges ot boys who gambled at some of the coA- sessions while the shows were play ing in Argenta last week that they were "swindled," local ministers yes- terday importuned County Judge L. E. Cheek to refuse the shows license. The state law makes no provision for carnival companies, the matter thus being left to the discretion of the county judge.
 There was some difference of opin- ion as to whether it would be just to refuse license to the shows if they were operated legitimately, and the county judge instructed Sheriff Wilt Hams to accept deposit for tn 3 license, $35.50, inspect the shows and concessions last night, and close any found inimical to good morals.
 Sheriff Williams personally. visited the show grounds, which were thronged with several thousand peo- pie, found six or seven games Of chance being operated, ordered these closed and obtained the promise of the management that no attempt would be made to open them again.
 This was the status when the show closed last night.
 As an entertainment feature, those who visited the carnival grounds sa, | the shows are not immoral, and art 1 better than the average.

JORDAN BAP1IzES FOUR
 PERSONS LAST EVENING

'Not Far From the Kingdom was the subject of the sermon at the First Christian church last night. splen- did audience was present to hear it.. Professor Hohgatt brought the song service up to high level in pfepala- ton for the sermon. During the song service Dr. Jordan baptized four per sons.
 '"ro be in the kingdom,' said Dr. Jordan, 'is to be in close relationship with Christ. This relationship IS brought about by obedience. No ono can have this close relationship out side the kingdom. It also means a close association with him. It is more than being a member of the local con ercgation. It is to be in relationship with Christ like the vine is With the branches.
 "Some are near the kingdom be- cause they are good, but this Will ho' save them. Some are near because they believe in Christ, but thls alont will not save. It iS dangerous to DC not far from the kingdom It IS really sadder to be near the kingdom thar to he far away Nothing outside th' kingdom can save.
 Tonight the subject of the sermon will be 'The Tragedy of Soul. LIT Jordan says this is one of the pest 0 all the series used in this meeting. The men of the Christian churcf | have taken a great lively interest II

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting more
 food into stomach.
Save insIde-bathing makes any. one look and feel clean,
 eWeet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sus- tain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sWeetenlng and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make any one an enthusiast on inside bathing Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with a dull, aching heac or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stomach ol constipation are assured of pro nounced improvement in both health and appearance shortly.-Adv.
