active selling by brokers with wan

with January selling off to $3.50 and
March to 27.9O, or to Ia points net
lower. There was no change in the

attributed partly to the unsettling in

White Flour overrated.

Something more than one-auarte r of a century ago the milling Of -four became fine art. The change came about for two reasons It seemed ne cessary to make Hour which could be stored for long periods of time and the women of America became mbued with the idea that the desirable shade in certain foods was the eolorless color of chalk The mills yielded to the force of circumstances and they whitened -four to the pallor of death. This was accomplished by talk ing oH the bran coat which lies just Inside the hull or chaff The bran was not thought to be of very much use anyway, but neither the millers nor the housekeepers ever had heard W vitamine molecule. nor knew that they as accessory food substitutes were worth their weight fin gold to the consumers of hour nor that these molecules are located in the bran and mus they killed the goose that lays the golden egg of health in every grNin of wheat.

SAGE TEA OARKENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's a1 Old-time Recipe that Any.
 body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for N- storing faded, gray hair to it's nataral color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect
 But brewing at home is musey and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking ct any drug store for 30 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" " you will get this famous old preparation improved by the addition of other in gradients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair
 well known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen . spOuge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application CT two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite for thess who desire s more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga tiea or prevention of disease.

THE FLAG IN HISTORY

From the American Lutheran Survey: The resolution for the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the American emblem was passed by the Continental Con- gress, June IA, 1777. An Ameri can ship, the Columbia, carried the American flag around the world in 17S7-1790.
 The American flag was first displayed in a foreign port from the mast of the America n schooner Bedford of Massach- usetts, which arrived in British Downs February 3, 17S3.
 The first American flag for the United States navy was flung to the breeze by John Paul Jones, the first American naval officer to engage a foreign foe. This flag had but twelve stars on it and it flew at the topmast of the good ship Ranger.
 France recognized this nag while it floated over the Ranger. and this act also constituted the recognition of the young Ameri- can government.
 Every battleship of the United States navy is entitled to 25O American flags every three years, although there are many renewals during that period. The cost of the flags for each ship is $3. .0OO, which total large sum for the entire navy. The army uses equally as many.
 The original flag was made in Philadelphia, from bunting im- ported from England in 1776, just before the Declaration h. dependence was promulgated.

WAR BREAD
 MAY BE USED
Whole Wheat Bread May Take the
 Emergency and Is Healthier.

That whole wheat bread may be d profitable substitute for the Southern biscuit during the prevailing high prices of all food products is the opin- ion Of Miss Isabelle Thursby, Special ist in Home Economies with the FIX tension Division of the University rt Arkansas and U. s. Department Of Agriculture, who says:
 Whole wheat bread substituted for the Southern biscuit is not only a good war emergency measure, but it Is more economical and more health rul than white flower bread.
 Whole Wheat in Diet Highly Praised.
 ''Tor whole wheat as food, hardly too much can be said in it's praise. It comes as near being perfect food a. any we know. and a diet of whole wheat produces more endurance than . meat diet and those who live on a diet of whole wheat have less tendea- cy 10 fatigue"
 ~7here are a number of old-fashion- cd mills in Arkansas and it ought to be easy to obtain both oldfashioned corn meal and wheat four Wheat four in the form that nature intended, and not robbed of it's bran, middlings and shorts-the brain, nerve, bone and blood food Bran though indi- sestfte, does not give people indiges- ton. but on the other hand is the greatest cure known for the most com mon disease in the world--constipa- tion, the mother of all diseases "
 Method of Obtaining Whole Wheat
 Flour Inexpensive.
 "A power mill for grinding wheat and corn can be obtained for about s25oo and a small grist mill which will dA the work for 8 snaE family can be obtained for as little as 90 cents It is said that s ooAse Hdl properly adjusted will do the work effectively, In vIew of these facts. would it not be well for every Arkan- sas housewife to buy whole wheat ana grind it for bread? Surely this would be much better since wheat in prices cost little more than se.00 per bushel, while if purchased in tho tosm Of some of the breakfast foods on the market it has been estimated would cost at least $32 % bushel In addition, whole wheat bread has been proven cenelusively to be much better for the health Of the family than the Sou ehsrn biscuit.

HYMNSsAND FAITH

Some of our popular hymns are very much unlike the faith of their authors. For example, it was a Unitarian who wrote, Tn the cross of Christ 1 glory" it was a Roman Catholic that wrote, Lead kindly Light" a Congregationalist who wrote, "J Jesus thou joy of lovin g hearts," a Methodist is the auth or of 'Love divine all love eX- celling;;" a Baptist is credited with He leadeth me-" and, strange to say, an Episcopalian wrote, There is a fountain fill ed with Blood. " A Presbyterian boy who had not reached his teens wrote: Jesus, and shall 1t ever be, a mortal man ashamed of thee"" Christians of all faith sing these songs, yet their senti- ments differ very greatly from the creeds of some of them. = Christian Index.

Notice, School Directors

The last session of the legisla- ture passed a law requiring all school bonds or other evidence of school indebtedness be regis tered with the County Treasurer and certificate of same be sent to the Superintendent of Public Education. Little Rock, Arkan- sas, by the Directors.
 The law requires that the reg istration show county. number or name of District, to whom issued or sold, price paid, rate of interest, date of issue and date of maturity, together with the place of payment.
 Further: This law requires that no Bond be sold for less than Par and shall bear No greater rate of interest than $ per cent per annum.
 No Board of Directors of a Special or Common School Dis trict is authorized to issue Bonds unless instructed to do so by a majority of electors voting at a properly authorized election.
 desire, also, to call the atten- tion of Directors of Common Districts, to Section 762O. page 60, of the DIGEST OF LAWS RELATING TO FREE SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, which forbids Directors of such Districts expending more than $25. % per year for Maps. Globes. and other Apparatus" (This does not include such in- cidentals as stoves. fuel, cray on, etc). and then only by in- struction' of a majority of the electors voting on said expendi. lures and for just such articles as may have been approved by the Superintendent of Public In- struction, and he has withdrawn his endorsement of every kind and quality. for the present.
 hope the Directors through out the entire county will rem ember this and insert in their School Notices just what they desire at the Annual School Elec- tien, which will be May 18th.

"These yitamines which are re. moved in the too highly milled wheat -four or corn meal may also be lost or. perhaps, rendered less useful in cook ing.
