SAM SUPPLEMENTAL
 SUCCUMbS AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
Funeral of Esteemed Mer- chant, Here for Half Gen.
 tury, to Be Held Today.

The funeral of Sam Bluthenthal, who died Sunday night after an ill ness of only a few days, will be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from the home of MT. and Mrs. Sam Katz- enstein, with services by Rabbi Raphael Goldenstein of the Temple Anshe Emeth, and interment in the Jewish cemetery.

 Active-Mayor Simon Bloom, T. N. Harper, J. B. Simon, Henry Bernath, Leo M Andrews, J. Brad Holcomb, A Bluthenthal and NJ. Gottlieb.
 Sam Bluthenthal, who was near the eightieth milestone on the journey of life, was known to be ill by only 8 few of his close friends. He was at his place of business and apparently in his usual health as late as We'd nesday. He was stricken ill Thurs day, and the news of his death Sun day night caused general sorrow and l regret.
 Deceased was born near Kaiserlau- tern, in the Rheinpfalz of Germany and came to the United States in his young manhood, settling at Prince | ton. Dallas county, Ark. When the l Civil war began he enlisted in the Confederate army, serving in tho Third Arkansas cavalry with distinc tion throughout the war. After peace was declared he settled in Pine Bluff where, with his younger brother, the late D. M. cLong Dave"o Bluthen thai. he founded the mercantile supply hous of s. Bluthenthal & Co.,. whicl has continued ono of the city's bes known establishments since that time 1 Several years after establishing hls home bere, Mr. Bluthenthal took az his bride Miss Bertha Becker, who with five children, survives. The chll dren are Herbert c. Bluthenthal O. Pine Bluff, Blanche. who is Mrs. San Katzenstein of Pine Bluff; Josie. wht is Mrs. Joseph Kornfeldt of Columbus Ohio: May, who is Mrs. Max Meye, of Detroit, Mich, and Gabe Bluthen thai of New York There are alst eight grandchildren, Emily katzen stein, Mabel Bluthenthal, Irwin Blu | thenthal and H. c.

 throughout this section, and in his hal century of business here he had hat commercial relations with scores o the most successful business men 0 this part of the state. He was un

DlRlNlK HOT WAITER 3 IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMl[PlL,l L,lEXEON Says we can't help but look
 better and feel better
 8 after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel One'.; best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fermenta. tions and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. ust as coal, when t burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible ma terial in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, from toxins and poisons which are then sucked in- to the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow If healthy bloom in your cheeks. to sec your skin get clearer and clearer, yol are told to drink every morning upol arising, a glass of hot water with q teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toX- lns from the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweeten ing and purifying the entire ailmen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots. pimples or pallid com- plexion, also those who wake up with coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stom- ach or constipation should begin this, phosphated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced re- suits in one or two weeks.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demon strate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs. We must always con- sider that internal sanitation is vast ly more important than outside cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do. : (Advt.)

James and z. l.. Long, negroes, ar rested Friday by Deputy Sheriff J. l..
