OUR FUTURE.

{. A timber tract in Arkansas recently sold for $3O0,O00. A plantation lying between the White and the 'Mississip- pi rivers that cost $6c,0OO ten years ago, sold the other day for $122,000. Down there on the Arkansas river :. place on which the owner. 8 years ago, found it more than difficult to borrow $9,oOo. was two weeks sinca put on the market and the owner de- clined $30,0O0. His price is s40,00o and in all probability he will get it.
 These figures teach the value of Arkansas agriculturs. and timber lands. Pine Bluff is in the heart of this territory. It has the men to handle every bit of it to auvantage. and what is more, it is being handled, consequently there can be but one future for the city-that of a quick step march into progress and pros perity.

Glass of Hot Water ~
 Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit
Open sslulees of the system each morning and wash away tho
 pessonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, lEme back, can, instead both look and feel as fresh as < daisy always hy washing the poisons and toxins from the body with rhosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast, 2 glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestfble waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleansing, weetening and purifying the entire alimentaTy tract before put ting more food into, the .stomaca.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentation, gases, waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but little while until the roses begin to appear ia the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, and .is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious ness, constipatfuh stomach trouble or rheun1atism . real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.

THE HOME FOR BUSINESS
 WOMEN.

The members of the Women's Christian league are working faith fully for the establishment of tn. .lome for business women. Their e:- forts, 1t seems, are neeting with ao. proval and success. as should be; for in tho completion of home of this eOrt tine Bluff will discover that t has made a gigantic stride in human- Harlan and educational progress.
 There isn't a man among us wno would not be comforted to know that in the city where his daughter is at work taere is safe and comfortable home, under the guidance and man agement of the best and most refin- Cd women of the community to which hts girl may go and receive all the protection as we'll as the conven. fences of her own home. Moreover, 1t is rart of the plan of the ladies or the league to introduce a course in domestic economy in the contemplated institution. Notiing could be more desirable. especially now that the emergencies of the war are such that the entire nation is trying to learn this science, not only for the benefit of the individual housekeeper, but that the great war may be won com pletely and thoroughly by the Amer jeans and the allies.
 If our women of Pine Bluff can dis seminate this knowledge among the many women workers in the city they will have not only served the cause of education and progress at home, but will also have done very large bit toward helping their country in 5 the siupendous task that consronts it.

COTTON A PEACE FACTOR.

It Is understood that Pine Bluff is to have a cotton factory. The move ment is being backed by men who are in the habit of accomplishing what ever they put their shoulders to, and it goes without saying that these gen tlemen will very soon have the spin dies humming in this city on the Arkansas. It proves, too, that Pine Bluffs business enterprise is second to none, for if there ever was a time when the cotton factory is needed it is now, when this staple is of such prime importance in the war. In this connection the following extract from speech made some months after America entered the war, will be of interest:
 "The American manufacturer has not yet fully awakened to his won derful potentialities. The realization of this must impress itself upon the mind of the cotton manufactures when ae} considers the possibility oi cotton becoming mighty important l factor in eventually forcing peace on Germany.
 'The Germans were the only bellig' erents who seemed to appreciate at first the vital importance ol cotton l in the conflict. The English, appar' ently were slow to recognize the IT. ber's material uses, and permitted the Germans to. import cotton freely during the early stages of the war. tWnen Great Britain realized it's CT TOT, it imposed stringent embargo, which aroused far more vigorous pro test from Germany than England's embarg on foodstuffs. Germany pro duces food, but does net grow cotton. And cotton is the basis of the explo' sive used in greatest quantity by all armies and navies.
 | German chemists have been re sourceful is discovering substitutes for many necessities. They are re ported to have found means of Islng i wood fiber for cotton, but it is more iurobable that Germany has been forced to obtain as much cotton as possible from Turkey and contiguous reutrals. When the German cotton supply and sources of supply are ex hausted peace will unquestionably be near"

gerness of speculation and the keen ress and pleasure of putting savings in place where they could be
 nothing else but safe. There was
 present, also the pride of possession, even the vanity in realizing that one was to become the owner of lis coun' try's bond, that the nation was indebt- ed in pecuniary way even to the lowly individual. The food pledge is far different from this. It is signed almost in private. It promises only privations on the part of the slgn- CT. It offers nothing in return save only that those who sign have the quiet personal knowledge that they are serving their country. But no sacrifice in noble cause is made without bringing a just reward In this case the return that is most app parent aside from the patriotic service is the lesson in selfIenial and the practice of an economy. Our people will learn through these pledges how to live and now to save so a. to ban ish forever that criminal waste in food that has so long been reproach to the American people.

hour of trial, to the end that the great
aims to which our fathers dedicated our
