To Prevent OLD Aqe

Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown

as filters for such poisons. If we wish
to prevent old age coming too soon and
increase our chances for long life, we
should drink plenty of pure water and

overcome these disorders is merely to
obtain little Anuric from your nearest

Both Friend and Foe Of Farmer

Crows do the farmer about as much
harm as good, according to the bio
logical survey of the department Of
agriculture which has completed a
monograph on the relation of crows to
man. The essential conclusions are
that crows are about equally bene-
fetal and injurious, and that they are
so wary and sagacious as not to need
legal protection. Lack OF this, while
not endangering the species, will per-
NIT farmers to protect their crops or
other property whenever necessary.

Old English Physicians.

The England of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries was rich field
for physicians, and their influence was
extended in many directions. Some
were very serious-minded persons who
did much to advance medical science
others were famed for their adroit
ways of amassing wealth. If England
has produced Doctor Arbuthnot, it has
also had such practitioners as gruff
Hans Sloane, who gr0wled at his aris-
tocratic patients instead of flattering
them.

Raid by Shell-Light

The picture of q night attack executed by the English a German trench in France is drawn in the Cornhill Magazine by Boyd Cable:
 "The hour chosen for the raid was just about dusk There was no eXtra-special preparation immediately before it. The guns continued to pour in their fire, speeding it up a little perhaps, but no more than they had done a score of times in the last q hours. The infantry clambered out of their trench and filed out through the openings in their own wire entanglements.
 Out in front a faint whistle cut across the roar of fire They're off, said the forward officer into his phone and moment later a distinct change in the note of sound of the overhead shells told that the fire had lifted that the shells were pass ing higher above his head to fall farther back in the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch into which the infantry would soon be pushing.
 For minute two there was no change in the sound of battle The thunder of the guns continued steadily, burst of rifle or machine gun fire cracked as spasmodieally.
 Men gulped in their throats or drew long breaths of apprehension that this was the begin ming of discovery of their presence in the open, the first of the storm they knew would quickly follow. But there no more shells for the moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire di- minshed and the bullets piped thinner and more distant the glIn muZzle swept around. The in- fanuy hurried on, thankful for every yard made in safety.
 But at the attacking point the infantry were
 
 shells for the most part struck down harmlessly behind them. The men were into the fragments Of broken wire, and the shattered parapet oomed up under their hands a minute after the first shell burst. Up to this they had advanced in silence, but now they gave tongue and with wild yels leaped at the low parapet, scrambled over and down into the trench, Behind them few forms twisted and sprawled the broken ground. but they were no sooner down than running stretcher bearers bounced on them, lifted and bore them back to the shelter of their own lines.
 Tn the German trench the raiders worked and fought at desperate speed but smoothly and on what was clearly settled and rehearsed plan There were few Germans to be seen and most of tnese crouched dazed and helpless with hands over their heads. They were promptly seized bundled over the parapet, and told by word or gesture to be off They waited for no second bid ding but ran with heads stopped and hands above thelr heads straight to the British line one or two men doubling after them as guards Some oi the prisoners were struck down by their own guns sheiii'fe' ana these were just as promptly grabbed by the stretcher bearers and hurried in under cover "

MINERS TO TAKE ONLY ONE DAY OFF, ASSURING GREATER
 COAL PRODUCTION.
COAL MINES INSPECTED
Shortage of Cars at Mines Have Re- suited in Fuel Shortage at Little Rock and Many Other Points
 in the State.
Fort Smith

Sebastian county coal miners will adopt the government suggestion to continue work during the Christmas holidays to insure the greatest coal production possible, according to H. (. Couch, state fuel director. who ar rived al Fort Smith on 9 tour of the coal fields. MT. Couch spent one day in the Greenwood district, where he received assurances that instead ot the mines suspending week, as has been the custom, they will suspend but one day for the Christmas cele- bration.
 MT. Couch was in conference with the Missouri Pacific railroad officials in the interest of a greater supply of cars for the coal mines located on the road between Fort Smith and Russell vile. Shortage of cars at these mines has resulted in a fuel shortage at Lit tie Rock and other Arkansas cities.
 Dr. John R. Davis, chairman of the Sebastian Fuel Commission, appointed Herschel Blunt of Fort Smith and L. E. ThTasher of Greenwood as members of the board.

NEW WRITING IMPLEMENT.

A writing implement composed of a mixture of wax and finely ground pumce stone contain ing particles of ink has been invented by William C.. Geer of Akron O.. to take the place of ordinary and fountain pens, pencils, crayons and all other writing implements, says the Popular Science Monthly. As the body of the new writing device is composed of a mixture of wax and pumice stone, which is easily worn away when rubbed against paper surface, the inventor claims that the cells of ink intermixed with the wax and pum- ice stone will also be liberated, giving uniform supply of ink.
 The device is made by mixing the wax. pumiee stone and ink together. When it is heated to the proper temperature it is suddenly immersed in cold water This chills and solidiaes the wax mixture, producing body having cellular struc- ture each cell being filed with ink.

is it planned to deal with all the acute suffering, such as is summarized above and to reconstruct many villages in the devastated war zone to give the refugees fresh start in life and pre- pare the way for again cultivatng the soil. but 1t is the purpose to apply the American system of Home Service" on q scale so grand that it is French military organization, for the French sol diers fight better when they know their loved ones being cared for.
 In furtherance of this great scheme designed to bring comfort and cheer in the family of every French soldier that is needy, General Pershing General Petain, commander in chief of the French forces, and Maj. Gen. M. P. Murphy, American Red Cross commissioner. have formed themselves into a committee of cooperation. Company officers will go through their ranks and ascertain from each soldier whether he has any worry on his mind concerning sickness want at home. Reports will be made to headquarters weekly and not single case will be overlooked in the relief work that is to be guided by the addresses of families listed. Special attention will be given the treat menl and prevention of tuberculosis which has as sumed proportions almost deadly as the internal machinery af war itself. Food and clothing will be supplied when necessary and the spirit and courage of the previously depressed soldier in the trenches will be enlfyened by the news that his family Is having its wants attended to.

 Gas Bombs Poison Soil
 An interesting fact dWelt upon by MT. Wishard during visit to Washington was that of the pois oning of the soil in agricultural regions by the gases spread over the country by the Germans. IL is stated that this gas has worked its insdious way deep into the ground. so that unless heroic means are discovered and applied it will be years and years before the land is fit for cultivation of any sort. The devastation he says, is beyond anything in the history of the world with shell craters so thick that blowing of once fertile fields is abso- lutely impossible Yet in this hopelessly devasta- ted region the Red Cross has to work to repair some villages and to restore certain agricultural communities not alone for the humanity directly involved with respect to the people who will thus have shelter and means to go to work, but as an example to the thousands of others and an inspi- ration to them to start in and begin life anew The hopelessness of 1t all might seem complete from single instance cited by Mr. Wishard-that of man who had owned mill in village near Yer dun, who told him that when he went to look for the spot which it stood he had to take survey along to locate it.
 IT is into the hopelessness of hundreds of stua- tions akin to this that the American Red Cross is advancing with it's banner of mercy and it's bugle blast of inspiration
 So help the Red Cross!

Up and down the selected area of front line trench the raiders spread rapidly.
