WHAT CATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal
catarrh often indicates a general
weakness of the body and local treat
ments in the form of snuffs and vapors
only irritate and do little if any good.
10 correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
1t is helping thousands. Try it.

 I noticed in your last weeks issue where you had me as being in Malvern on Sunday before that down from Camp Pike. I wish to correct that er- TOT as am at Ft, Roots, however it dosn't make so very much difference but still so long as am volunteer for Uncle Sam I had rather people would think that way about it. Still l don't mean to say that it is a dis grace to be drafted, but so long as was not, would rather people would think l am not.
 suppose my friends at Malvern know the difference but some may not. How l do miss the good people at Malvern and how l wish I could be there with them but still Ithink can be of more service to them in this man. ner than any other way.
 If any of you people from Malvern come to Little Rock be sure to see US and don't think we are not glad to see you but we only hope you can realize how glad we are to see you.
 Hoping I may have the pleasure of soon being with you m good people some more for l don't think it long until Uncle Sam will have the Kaiser and then twill all be over.

IRAE. CARTER
 FOR COUNTY CLERK

The name of Ira E. Carter, of Friendship. is presented to our readers today, as a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for County and Pro- bate Clerk of Hot Spring county. MT. Carter is young man of sterl- ing qualities, and his ability to hold the position which he seeks, is such that his friends claim, will make him a strong factor in the race. Always active in the ranks of the Democratic party, yet never before in the 31 years of his life having ever sought public office Mr. Carter comes to the voters, a new man in politics, yet by no means a novice when it comes to his knowledge of affairs connected with the public offices of the county. He has spent his entire life in Hot Spring county, following his chosen occupations of farmer and school teacher, at which he has made decid- ed success. He received his education in the public schools of the county, and the Friendship High School, and feels that he is entirely competent and qualified to give to the people of Hot Spring county, an administration in the County Clerks office that will be approvel by each and every citizen. He promises, if elected, to give his duties that same untiring devotion with which he has always given his private business, and fully believes he can successfully conduct the affairs of this most important office.
 I MT. Carter is we'll known to many of the voters of the county, but proposes to meet them all, if possible, between now and the primary next Spring, and personally solicit their vote for this office. He intends to make cam paign of the entire county, and ex- plain to the voters, his qualifications and claims for the office.
 This paper takes pleasure in sub miting the candidacy of Mr. Garter to the Democracy of Hot Spring coun- ty, and urges that you give it due con- sideration, when deciding for whom to vote for your next County and Pro- bate Clerk

WORKMAN INJURED
 WHEN CAR WRECKS


 While the section crew of the Rock Island were eturning from their work on the Camden tranch, Saturday night, the motor (hand carl on which they were riding, struck a calf, wrecking the car, and throwing the entire crew far from the track. None were ser iously injured, except Sylvester Gris- som, who was thrown probably twenty feet from the track and received pain ful and perhaps serious injury to his left leg. He was immediately removed to his home, and yesterday taken to St. Vincents hospital, at Little Rock.
 It is thought his injuries, will not prove very serious, though quite pain ful, and will result in disabling him for work for some time. His left leg was badly mashed, and cut, and it was thought best to take him to the hospi- tai, where he may have the best of treatment. The balance of the crew were severely shaken and bruised, but were all able to walk to their homes.

Why So Early

and regular liners, the examination of parcels on this side so as to ob- viate their having to be examined by censors, and the uncertainty of land transportation on the other side has to be allowed for. It is essential also that the packages should contain nothing that is unmailable under the parcel post regulations of this coun- try; and that the parcels shall be se- curely wrapped, but may be readily mine the character of their contents.
 Measures have been taken to have packages received in France, which are marked for Christmas delivery, delivered on Christmas morning. Parcels so marked will be held at convenient stations for delivery on that day This will insure real Christmas to our boys in France if parcels are mailed here promptly, and prevent the Christmas character of the parcels being destroyed by too early delivery.
 The rate of postage on parcels to members of the American expedi- tionary forces in France is 12 cents per pound from any place within the United States.
 There are several Hot Spring county boys in France with the 10th Engin- eers and other units. The ywill no l doubt, be remembered by the folks

CHRISTMAS MAIL FOR SOLDIERS
 IN FRANCE, CLOSES NOV. 15

1t is essential that Christmas pack ages intended for American soldiers in France be mailed not later than Nov. 15th., in order to insure their delivery on Christmas morning.
 In furtherance of the Postmaster General Bdrleson, jointly with the Sec retary of War and Secretary of the Navy, have issued the following notice to the public:
 Delivery Christmas Morning.
 To the public: The time is ap- preaching to give sthought to bring ing Christmas cheer to the American soldiers and sailors abroad.
 Arrangements have been perfected whereby the Christmas mail to the American expeditionary forces in Flu rope Is to be delivered by Christ mas morning. Without the fullest cooperation on the part of the pub lie it will be impossible to accomplish this result.
 The three essential respects in which the public can aid in assuring happy Christmas at the front are mail early, address intelligently, and pack secure ly. For this reason it is urgently re- guested that all persons having Christ mas mail for the soldiers and sailors and the civilian units attached to the army in Europe observe closely the following directions:
 Directions for Mailing
 1. Mails to reach the soldiers in France by Christmas morning must be posted not later than Nov. 15.
 2. Every package must bear con- spiciously the words, Christmas mail" the complete address of the person for whom it is intended, and in the upper left-hand corner the name and address of the sender
 3. Every parcel must eb so packed and wrapped as to admit of easy in spection by the postmaster. No par eel will be dispatched to France which has not the sPostmaster's certificate that it contains no prohibited articles.

MAY FORM SURGICAL UNIT
Marathon County Doctors Take Pre-
Iiminary Steps to Organize for
Service During War.

Wausau-The suggestion made by
Major Frew Of the national guard, dur
ing a recent visit here, that physicians
and SUI geons of this city organize a
surgical unit, is meeting with much
favor among members of the Marathon
County Medical society and Secretary
F. H. Frey has written to the State
Medical society for particulars relative
to this service.
Physicians and surgeons of the city
are anxious to serve the nation in case
of need, but they are also hopeful that
such service may result in real expert
ence in hospital work instead of~such
work as examining recruits, sanitary
commissions, etc. If by organizing one
or more surgical units in this city, the
physicians could be assured of being
called out on active surgical duty, sew
eral who have applied for enlistment
in the medical reserve corps would
ask to withdraw from that organiza-
ton to enter the local organizations.
The cost of maintaining the surgical
units would have to be paid by the
physicians themselves and residents
who might have a personal pride in
the organization. Each unit would in
clude four physicians, a corps of first
aid nurses and other aides.

UNUSUAL BOATS ON ATLANTIC
Demand for Tonnage for War cargoes
Brings Into Service Types That
Are Rarely Seen.

Many vessels of unusual type have
appeared on the Atlantic in recent
months because of the demand for
tonnage for war cargoes. Among them
is the American four-masted barken-
tine John Palmer, type of sailing
ship seen frequently on the Pacific, but
seldom on the western ocean.
Like some other American sailing
craft the John Palmer had an encoun-
ter with a submarine. She " as luck
Ter than the Lyman w. Law, however,
for she f1oated on her cargo and man
aged to make port. While carrying
lumber from Galveston to Genoa the
Palmer was torpedoed 200 miles west
of the latter port
After the torpedoing the submarine
was chased by a patrol boat, which
afterward took the Yankee vessel in
tow. AS she showed no signs of sink
ing Immediately the captain and crew
remained on board. The Palmer
eventually reached port and was able
TO deliver her cargo, although she had
to be beached.
The John Palmer is now being re-
paired at Genoa, and it is expected st.e
will be seaworthy in a short tine and
bring an Italian cargo to New York

cisco in 1901.

STATE FAIR TO BE WAR FAIR
Chief Mission of Wisconsin Show
to Be Encouragement Of
Increased Production.

Madison-With the nation at war,
the chief mission of the state fair this
year will be to do all in its power to
back the soldiers by encouraging in
tensifed production at home, accord
ing to members of the state board Of
agriculture. The following are some of
the detectives which have been set to
guide the activities of the board:
Wisconsin land must raise more
crops
There must be greater production of
meat, which means more live stock of
high grade.
There must be greater production of
timed foods.
The people of Wisconsin must be
placed in closer touch with machinery
to take the place of labor demanded
for increased production.
The producer must be provided with
better facilities for marketing.
Dairying must be intensified.
All fairs of Wisconsin must aid.
Working along these lines to inten-
sify production, the 1917 state fair will
be war fair in reality, and all energy
If officials will be bent in this direc-
ton, it is said.
Beginning on Monday, May II, the
office of the state fair will be main
tanned at the state fair grounds in
stead of at Madison. Work on the new
poultry building, the new water and
sewerage system, the new fences on
the north and west boundaries and on
other improvements will begin at once,
all contracts having been let.
During the winter contracts for
amusements were let and the premium
book prepared. This book will be dis
tributed on June 1. Many changes for
the better have been made in classif-
cations and more money will be given
in live stock and other basic divisions
of the fair.

WEIku ANIMALS FROM ABROAD
Captain of Ship Which Brought Them
Over Tells Some Remarkable
Tales of His Passengers.

A collection of animals, including
lions, tigers, emus, chimpanzees,
snakes, chameleon Zebras. parrots,
leopards and 700 monkeys, arrived the
other day on a British freighter, con-
signed TO Louis Ruhe, an animal deal
er. for distribution among the Zoologi-
cal gardens in the western states, says
the New York Times.
According to the captain, the most
remarkable animals on board were the
four chameleons, zebras, which had red
white and blue stripes, and were first
seen in Uganda by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt on his African hunting trip
One of the zebras put its forefoot on
a hot brick and turned blue, the cap
tain declared, and when the native at
tendant, Lambam, placed it in cold
salt water the animal turned white.
Cog and Joeg, the two trained chin
panzeeS, were said to be remarkably
intelligent and could hardly be distin
guished from some kinds of human be
ings when they were attired in dun
garee overalls and flannel sweaters.

More Wholesome Livinu.

1t is the cheerful custom of our
times to urge what amounts to i'm
providence and insist that the liberal
spending of our money is for the best,
not only for ourselves, but for every
body. Every effort to reduce living
expenses is frowned on and considered
as a mean and undehanded attack on
some industry which ought to be en-.
couraged. If we do not wear gold
rings, we are not treating the gold
miners right, nor are we giving the
jewelers. fair shake in business. How
can we expect the jeweler to buy our
pork and cabbage IL we do not buy
his gold rings? We are hurried on to
make more that we may spend more
with others, so that they may spend
more, and so on, and so on.
There is no end to this sort Of thing,
and there is no health in this kind of
hectic existence. The principle of
making more that we may spend it
faster is not worthy basis for our
philosophy.
A little economy wouH be whole
some thing for all of us and would
help amazingly in the matter of the
high cost of living.-Idaho Farmer.
