Also soap at &c cake-that makes
three stores now who are selling a

have soap left over from last years

Many stores are selling last years
beans now which, as has been found,
will not cook as we'll as new beans
1t is a difficult matter to know wheth.
err beans are this years crop or not.
1t is barely time for this years beans
to be in. thought some dealers claim
to have them. II old beans are to be
sold off and naturally the dealer
wants to be rid of them, lower price
should be set on them. This is only
fair Beans require quite little gas
in their cooking and when ready for
the table are hardly worth the time

them satisfactorily for anything but
soup when old.
Mascot soap, a new soap on the
market. is selling wholesale for 1915

for five cents now.

A woman recently bought box and
found 1t to be much smaller on tie
inside than on the outside and only
half full at that. Parawax sold in
the ten cent store for long time
for ten cents while grocers charged
fifteen. We understand the reason
for this Bought in large quantities
any dealer can get special price and
can so afford to sell cheaper. A Ger.
tain brand OF sardines in mustard
which Is on the market sells at a
fifty per cent profit 1t weighs eleven
ounces. Horseradish on the market
now WHOLESALERS for ten cents and
sells for fifteen.
There are always two sides to q
question and tomorrow the West Vir
gilman will take up the side OF the
grocer and endeavor to show where
he has troubles of his. own and where
the consumer is to blame for the diff
ferences in prices to some extent and
also where he is partly to blame for
the grocer charging forty and fifty
per cent profit on some of his goods
Two wrongs do not make right and
because in many cases the consumer
is responsible for the high cost oil
groceries is no reason why the many
who are not to blame should be made
to suffer for the dealers endeavol
to catch up with things.
Groceries on the East side are
cheaper TO some small degree thar
nearer town. Rents for stores are
cheaper there. A grocer can get q
store there for fifty dollars month
that nearer town would cost him one
hundred dollars month or more
One grocer on the East side has
trade from all over the city People

ten articles attacking Dewitt Clinton and also the pacifists of the Federalist party, signed 'Abimelech Coody'-the articles were really written by Gu1ian To. Verplanck. Dewitt Clinton called the Goodies, a hybrid sect, composed ot the spawn of Federalism and Ja- cobinism neither fish nor flesh, nor bird nor beast, mighty bitter language for those days
 And the Locofocos," spoke up the doctor-"But you surely know who the Locofocos were? No? Well, the Lo- cofoeos were a political party that orig mated in 1885, at stormy meeting in Tammany Hall. They were the orig inal Eternal Rights party. During the uproar at the meeting the Tammany men turned out the lights on them, but the equal rights fellows had all pro- new l0cofoco matches and candles, and so they just lit up and lit into the Tammanyites, and that's how they got their name. Rather curious, isn't it?"
 Jenks looked worried. Then they rubbed 1t in. They talked about the "Blue H. It Federalists,' and the "Bucktails,7 and the "Barnburners," and the "Amalgamationists," and the "Featherheads" and other forgotten bits of American political lore that they felt certain the Britannica man had overlooked. Jenks went home early and spent several hours on a still hunt through the voluminous pages of his new purchase and the next morn- ing, bright and early, he dropped in on his bookseller.
 Say, I thought you told me that I could find anything I wanted in those books you sold me. I'll give you a ten-dollar note if you'll find a word in there about Goodies, or Locofocos, or Bucktails, or Featherheads," he said, with q disgusted look.
 But my dear fellow" said the book man, perhaps there ain't no such ami mals. s."-Kansas City Star.

Why We Are TickIish.

Our strange ticklishness, curiously confined to special parts of the body, receives attention in a new book by Dr. George ". Grille and is pronounced q protective reaction which had It's origin in the experiences of our pro- genitors while themselves still in the stage of fighting with teeth and claws. One type of tickle reflex is excited by light running movement. This gives the sensation of q crawling insect, with an irresistible impulse to rub the spot affected and Is believed to have deyel oped when insects were great peril perhaps at the time of mans gradual loss of hair. The second kind of tickle reflex is elicited by q certain heavy pressure about the ribs. the loins the base of the neck and the soles of the feet. The pressure is like the pene- trating contact of toothlike body and the reaction is an explosion of energy as laughter, with cries for mercy and vigorous resistance. The ticklish areas are points which formerly must have been especially exposed to attack by toothed and clawed beasts.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
 LIFT OUT YOUR CoRNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or ealluses off with fingers
 no pain.

No humbugl Any corn, whether hard. soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness.
 This drug Is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by Gin cinnati man.
 Ask at any drug store for n small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trife. but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
 Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or eallus will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers.
 This drug freezone doesn't eat out the eorns or calluses but shrivels them with out even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Just thinki No pain at all; no sore ness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freezone have him order it for you.

How to Detect Liars.

The thumb, according to profession al palmists. is an unerring index of the mind. If a person is trying to de ceive you. he will invariably draw his thumb in towards the palm. On the other hand, if he is telling the truth, the tht.mb will be relaxed and point away from the palm.

Bread Leavened By Yeast Is
 Recommended.

"These vitamines which are re- moved in the too highly milled wheat flour or corn meal may also be lost or. perhaps. rendered less useful in cook ing The evil in the use of these highly milled foN is said to be in- creased by making the bread with so- da instead of yeast for all alkali (ba5- ing powder) left in the biscuit or corn bread destroys more of the vitamines For this reason, bread leavened by means of yeast is to be recommended Soda should never be used in bread unless sufficient sour milk or other acid Is added to fully nutralize the alakalinity of the baking soda"
 Soda in Corn Bread An Evil.
 Professor Voegtuin with the Pub lie Health Service, says that soda n corn bread is an evil which was not used until It was found that highly milled corn meal, when mixed with salt water, did not yield a bread Of the same lightness as the old-fashion- ed meal Soda raised, or quick hot breads. are much to commonly used in the South"

WAR BREAD
 MAY BE USED
Whole Wheat Bread May Take the Place of Southern Biscuit as War
 Emergency and Is Healthier.

That whole wheat bread may be a profitable substitute for the Southern biscuit during the prevailing high prices of all food products is the opia- ion of Miss Isabelle Thursby, Special ist in Home Economies with the EX- tension Division of the University tt Arkansas and U. s. Department Of Agriculture, who says:
 Whole wheat bread substituted tor the Southern biscuit is not only good war emergency measure, but it is more economical and more health ful than white flower bread.
 Whole Wheat in Diet Highly Praised.
 For whole wheat as food hardly too much can be said in it's praise. II comes as near being a perfect food as any we know, and diet of whole wheat produces more endurance than a meat diet and those who live on diet of whole wheat have less tendon cy to fatigue"
 There are a number of old-fashion- ed mills in Arkansas and it ought to be easy to obtain both old-fashiohed 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- gestible, 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 S25.00 and small grist mill which will do the work for a small family can be obtained for as little as 50 cents. It is said that a coffee mill properly adjusted will do the work effectively In view of these facts, would it not be we'll for every Afkan- sas housewife to buy whole wheat and grind it for bread? Surely this would be much better since wheat in this form even at the prevailing high prices cost little more than $2.00 per bushel, while if purchased in the form of some of the breakfast foods on the market it has been estimated would cost at least S3200 a bushel. In addition, whole wheat bread has been proven eonclusively to be much better for the health of the family than the Southern biscuit
 White Flour OVerrated.
 Something more than one-quarter of century ago the milling of -four became a fine art The change came about for two reasons. It seemed ne cessary to make four which could be stored for long periods of time and the women of America became imbued with the idea that the desirable shade in certain foods was the colorless "color" of chalk The mills yielded to the force of circumstances and they whitened flour to the pallor of death. This was accomplished by talk ing off 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 of yitamine moleeule, nor knew that they as accessory food substitutes were worth their weight in gold to the consumers of four nor that these molecules are located in the bran and thus they killed the goose that lays the golden egg of health in every grain of wheat"

Whole Wheat Boiled. Excellent
 Rreakfas& Food.

Whole wheat, boiled, is an admira- ble breakfast food It is more nutri- tious and more wholesome and far less expensive than many of the man. ufactured and widely advertised breakfast foods on the markets. The wheat, after being thoroughly washed and dried, may be ground in the coffee mill at home-for the breakfast cereal and even fine enough for bread making"
 "All coarse cereals require long cooking, from three to five hours, pre- ferably overnight in the freless cook or. A homemade tireless cooker car be made for less than 50 cents and every housekeeper should have one if for no other use than for serving the bot breakfast cereal"
