FALLING HAIR MEANS

 Stops itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing feverish. ness and itching of the scalp. which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness. but what will please you most will be after just Q few weeks use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.

Diversity in Planting, Stock Raising and Improved Method of Soil Gull ture Told in Several East
 Arkansas Counties.
Helena


 Charles J Haase, Memphis bank CT, and Sam F. Mcdonald, a Memphis breadmaker, told Helena business men that they would have to fully delevop the agricultural industry in Phillips county before they could expect Hell ena to become larger commercial center
 D. c. Welty, agricultural commis- sioner for the Missouri Pacific Rail road; J. T. M Holt and G. c. Strick- land of the Magnolia Agricultural School, and w. c. Lassiter. director of the states cooperative work, all speakers working in the interest of the better farming campaign, backed up what Messrs. Haase and Mcdonald said.
 Haase drove home his message. He declared that if the farmers of Ar kansas. Tennessee and Mississippi possess as much sense as the boil weevil that they will wake up and change their one-crop system into a rotating one.
 Every banker in Helena heard Haase, and there were nearly a hun dred other business men who listened eagerly to what he said
 pAn idle acre of tillable soil is an idle factory" said Mcdonald. 'The world is not coming to Helena. The world is here. The farmer will ap- preciate your cooperation. Give it to him."
 Beside addressing three meetings of adults in the Phillips County court house, MT. Welty talked to 3e0 high school students. David Thibault, coun' ty demonstration agent addressed several dozen corn, pig. poultry and canning club boys and girls, who came to Helena at the instance of the business mems league The young sters were also introduced to movie stars as part of their entertainment by the business men.
 X hundred of the county's leading farmers came to Helena to hear the profitable farmers talks. Mir Lassi ter arrived late. but addressed large number of citizens at the night meet ing. Helena club women took prom inent part in the proceedings.

The New Method
lBY L. W. BOWER, M. D.)

Backache of any kind Is often caused by kidney disorder, which means that the kidneys are not working properly Poisonous matter and uric acid accumu- late within the body in great abundance over working the sick kidneys, hence the congestion of blood causes backache in the same manner as similar con- gestion in the head causes headache. You become nervous, Respondent, sick, feverish, irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambition to do things.
 The latest and most effective means of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar ingly of meat, drink plenty water be- tween meals and take single Anuric tablet before each meal for a while.
 Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anuric. If you have lumbago, rheuma- tism, gout, dropsy, begin immediately with this novel treatment.

that when these various factors
report, the meetings will be en-
thusiaStic.
The work in which we are en-
gagged, we need to realize the
great power of broad knowledge
of decipline.
Another is self improvement.
Much could be said under this
head, but will say that one cannot
give that which she does not pos
sess. In helping others, let us
not forget to help ourselves, as
this is an age of great develop
ment. Let us organize various
kinds of study classes. Those
who are not in need of such study
as we may persue, could loan
their assistance to improve others.
In order to fulfill our object, we
must as individuals and an organ
lzatl0n cultivate certain qualities
of mind and heart and must have
great motive force to guide us in
all our actions. 1t seems to me,
the three great qualities which
we especially need to acquire are
Sanity, Modestyy and Courage.
Sanity of mind which is the fruit
of knowledge and experience that
meets the vexing problems with
eagerness of mind, and breadth of
vision. A sanity which comes
frOT living on the mountain top
of live and seeing things in their
proper relation. We need modes
ty because we are not as efficient
as we should be. Let us be mod
est of our past accomplishments
and future possibilities. Above
all let us be courageous, deter
mined to face the situations of
life with a firm belief in Human
ity, with brave heart, brave to
battle against every wrong, brave
to face misunderstanding or ridi-
cule if only our course be just,
brave to do right as God gives us
to see it;
In attacking our tasks, we tru-
ly need sanity, modesty and cour-
age, but these will be cold and
lifeless unless warmed by loving
sympathies and consideration.
This love will CONTROL our unruly
tongues and purify our unchari-
table thoughts. Where Love is,
there God is and where God is.
there is inspiration and achieve
ment.
Again thank you for your
consideration and realizing as |
do that the great benefits, cOur-
tesies and honor | have received
since | have tried to serve you.

your organized efforts and to-
