lDIRINII HOT WAITER IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMPLEXION Says we can't help but look {, better and feel better
 after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones 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. Just as coal, when it 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 d certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are in tended to such in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see. the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is harmless means of wash ing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Men and women with sallow skins, i liver spots, pimples or pallid com l plexion, also those who wake up with coated tongue, bad taste, nasty , breath, others who are bothered with ! headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos- | phated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks.
 A quarter pound of limestosne phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifes and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more 1 important than outside cleanliness, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the i bowel pores do

1917 |S DANGER
 YEAR FOR SOUTH
Twenty Million Bales More Likely Than Twenty Gents a Pound,
 Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-tSpeciaD- 1917 is danger year" for the south, and that there is dynamite in >the pres elt cotton situation fer the cotton growing farmer" are the warning words used by H. c. Hastings, presi- dent of the Southeastern Fair Asso. ciation and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an interview given to the newspapers here>urging farmers not to increase their cotton acreage.
 Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at planting time in spring" he says, "is the bait that will lure hundreds of thousands of farmers in the south to each put in few extra acres, and should nature smile on the crop as in 1914, we will come nearer a twenty million bale crop than 20 cents per pound, for evidence multiplies daily that they are planting right up to the graveyard as it is sometimes eX- pressed.
 On the Hastings farm we don't ex- pect to put in an acre more of cotton than we did last year, because we think it a time above all others to play safe. What we will increase to the limit of our ability will be food, grain and forage, beef cattle and hogs
 The safe way is to first supply all needs of family and stock from ones own acres, and then put surplus acre age in cotton. With bread and meat in hand and garden producing steadily through spring, summer and fall with home canned vegetables and fruits on closet shelves for winter ta- ble use; with corn in the crib and hay and fodder in the barn or stack, the farmer can be largely independent of cotton prices in the fall. The farmer so provided for is never distressed lie can sit on his cotton bales with mind at ease, and sell in his own good time when prices are right
 With labor comparatively scarce and fertilizer high, any material in- crease in cotton acreage must nee essarily be at the expense of food and grain acres that are in reality far more responsible for the south's pres. ent prosperity than is IS to 20 cent cctton
 Memories are short, but wise far mers need only to look back to 1914 and see the disaster due to too much cotton that cant be eaten, and the lack of food that one must eat. l re- peat this year of 1917, is danger year. Any farmer who increases cot ton acreage and cuts food crop acres

Proper Illustration.

It is mistake, ayers the Iluminat ing Engineer Society, to use q brirbt light against a dark background and while an artistic fixture is we'll enouch as a decoration, yet lamps which in themselves are good and suitable win not be satisfactory from hygienjc standpoint unless the fixtures are in the right position. In planning the il. lumination of room it is only com. mon sense to determine just what you are going to use that room for. and then to arrange the lighting. By do. ing this it should be possible for peo. pie of middle age to add years of ey. cellent eyesight which otherwise would soon diminish. Where children of various ages are in d family the matter of artificial light is of great i'm. portance. The general health of a growing boy or girl may be seriously affected by careless lighting, especial. ly in rooms where they read or study their lessons.

COLE GRAHAM IS RE-
 LEASED ON BOND

Cole Graham, who was indicted by the last session of the grand jury for first degree murder for the killing of Ed Edgar at Boughton about two months ago, came to Prescott today and surrendered to the sheriff and a few hours later was released on bond.
 Graham and Edgar became engaged in an encounter at a party at Bough- ton some two months ago during which Graham stabbed Edgar in the back with a knife; the wounded man was brought here and placed in the Greeson Sanitarium.
 In the meantime a warrant was issued for Graham charging him with assault with intent to kill and a search was made for him but he could not be located. After his victom, Edgar had been in the sanitarium for a few days he died, and another warrant was issued for him charging first de- gree murder, the grand jury finding 8 bill against him on the same charge His whereabouts were unknown to the officers until today when he came in and surrendered. His trial will probably come up-in the July term ot circuit court.

 One of the finest punches of hogs that have left Prescott in a good while is being shipped today by Scott Brothers. One hog in the bunch is said to weigh 600 pounds and is a Duroc Jersey. This shipment includes two cars, 190 head and they will aver age about 200 pounds. Scott Bross. bought the swine from parties in all parts of the county. They are also shipping from Sayre today another car of fine pork on foot. One has only to take a look at the stock that is being shipped from here now and then recall the class of stock that was raised here five years ago, and one can readily see that a wonderful im- provement has been made in this line, which speaks well for Arkansas. The Razorback hog is thing that is now read about in history.

A RED CROSS STORY.

Washington, D. c., Nov g.. II
The War Council Of the Amer

ceipt. of the following cablegram
from the Paris Headquarters OF
the American Red Cross in ref

Cross in caring for the repatriated
refugees from devastated districts
in France and Belgium.
ssThene arrived last week at
Evian where the repatries from
France and Belgium are received
back into France, train loaded
with Belgian children there were
$50 of them, thin, sickly, alone:
all between ages Of four and
twelve, children Of men who re-
fused to work for the Germans
and Of mothers who let their chill
dren 90 rather than let them
starve. They poured off the train,
little ones clinging to the oldest
ones. girls all crying, boys trying
to cheer. They had come all the
long way alone. On the platform
were the Red Cross Workers to
meet them, doctors and nurses
with ambulances for the little
sick ones waiting outside the sta
-3ion. The children poured out
the station. marched along the
street shouting, "Meat, meat, we
are going to have meat, to the
.casino where they were given a
square meal, the first in many
months. Again and again, while
they ate, they broke out spon-
-taneously into songs i'm French
against the German songs which
they had evidently learned in
secret. The Red Cross Doctor ex-,
eamined them. Their little claw
like hands were significant oftheir,,
undernourished bodies, but the
doctor said: 1--WE have them in
time. A few weeks of proper
feeding and they will pull up"

KEEPING A PIG.

Mr.. Hoover says we are all =
keep a pig. Well, well. well
How this does bring back our boz
hood How well we recollect tht
subterranean porker Dad used
to maintain, or the famous pen a
our country cousins. Any live
boy has peculiar feeling for thu
pig. He doesn't have to be pro
hibited the privilege Of diggin2
in the dirt. Nor does he have Il
be sent up stairs with bread anc
water for putting his feet in the
trough.
And then those joyous days
when the pig escaped his pen. and
the whole neighborhood dropped
their regular occupations and
Joined the chase. That was some
sporting event. Just why they
have to grease a pig at picnic Is
not clear. His soft and slippery
hair is elusive enough without any
external application.
And then the fellows speed
Who would dream that such a
short and spindle legged creature
could distance the runners Of the
neighborhood9 And that quirlly
and abbreviated tail. so many
times grasped, so often slipping
through your fingers.
Then there was the juvenile
pastime of poking Master Pig
with fish pole, understood in the
boy would be an excellent pro
moter of exercise and digestion
on his part. No country home
was complete for the boy then
without him, and there was lone
illness when he was gone.
Our modern towns are too par
lorled for keeping a pig. We are
too fearful of the barnyard odors
on which our fathers grew fat.
But the pig is not necessarily
dirty. When cleaned up for a
cattle show, he has his own silvery
or dusky beauty. But we stick
him in dirt and pour swill over
him and then blame him for being
a hog. But we need his meat,
and in villages and suburban dis
tricts there are many who could
well follow Mr.. Hoover's sugges-
tion.-Ruston Leader.
