The Machinery
of the Body
CBY DIR. l. w. SHORTY

The body is highly organized ma
chine of complicated parts in which
the liver and the kidneys work for the
common good. Damage to either one
of these organs interferes with man as
motor mechanism. The automobile
expert knows how important it is that
the carburetor does not get too much
fuel, along with sufficient air to burn
or explode the gas. Too much fuel in
mans machine, such as eating too
much meat, or alcohol or tea, and the
liver cannot turn over" nervous
overwork and lack of exercise in out
door air bring constipation and bad
health. Eat less meat. plenty Of
vegetables. and with air and good ex-
ercise you need little else. If the liver
needs rousing-and most of US need
this once a week-take a safe vege-
table extract of the leaves of aloe,
May-apple, root of jalap made into a
tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold by al
most every druggist as DR.. Pierce
Pleasant Pellets-first put up nearly
fifty years ago.
b Most. people die eventually of an
over-acid condition. If the blood can
be rendered more alkaline, the longer
we live. With regular hours, plenty
of water between meals, sensible
coarse food and a chance to get the
poisons out of The system, a man will
live to be a hundred. But, unfortu-
nately, our highly nervous way of Iiv-
ing brings increased storage of uric
acid in the body. This acts as a
poison, and we suffer from Iumbago,
aches or pains, rheumatism, govt
Get rid of this uric acid poison by
taking a harmless medicine called An
uric, which throws out the uric acid
by stimulating the kidneys. Drink a
pint of hot water before meals and
take AnurIc double strength), three
or four times n day. Anuric can be
obtained at almost any drug store

- - WOULD EXPLOIT NEWSPAPERS.

The United States government is preparing to float another section of the Liberty Loan bond issue to the amount of three billion dollars Again part of the plan is for the newspapers to do the advertising free. gratis. for nothing. So far as The Graphic is concerned, this part of the plan will not work.
 The Graphic will do it's full part, but it does not propose to contribute out of all proportion to it's ability. To expect the newspapers to contrib ute millions of dollars worth of their merchandise in order to sell the bonds is as unjust as to, expect the mer- chants to hand out millions of dollars worth of their stocks. The burden should be shared equally-the gov ernment Of the United States should be too big to do such a little thing Especially when congress is heapins additional taxes upon the newspapers as we'll as raising the rate of post age.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-08-14

People who have the erroneous idea that they can purchase goods in larger cities for less money than the same goods can be obtained in Pine Bluff should scan the advertisements, and compare the prices of the big-town houses with those of merchants ad- vertising in The Graphic. It is prob ably true that occasionally some ar ticle is offered by big-city estab- lishment at a real bargain price. This is used as a leader" and the chances are that sale is conditioned upon the purchase of other articles at the same time, or it is urged that freight or express charges make it advisable to include the bargain" ill a ship ment with other pieces.
 That meat can be purchased here for less money than the same cut can be suced in Memphis was demonstrat- ed by comparison of prices in adver' tisements appearing in a Memphis newspaper and The Graphic last Fri day. Sirloin steak was quoted by the Memphis house at 221a cents pc, pound Blaser X sons quoted loin steak at 20 cents per pound. Other prices were: Round steak 20 cents in Memphis. 20 cents in Fine Bluff; shoulder roast. 151s cents in Mem phis. 15 cents in Pine Bluff: porter house steak, 23 cents in Memphis 221s cents in Pine Bluff: bacon 331: cents in Memphis, 30 cents in Pine Bluff.
 The Memphis house also made tho provision that the prices quoted were good after 10 a. m"
 People who are prone to see better bargains elsewhere would save none, and worry by consulting advertise ments in The Graphic. If the partic ular article desired is not advertised go to one of these advertisers anC ask the price under the same terms on which you would do business witt an out t-of-town house. i. e.. Cash witt order, and you pay the freight.
