GALSWORTHY ON THE WAR.

We owe to you (the United States)
and to Russia a renewed sense and CO.
herence in our cause. The idealism
which was and is implicit in that
cause was oozing out under the bitter
pressure of this endless struggle.
Some of us were beginning to fear
that in the end democracy would be
forced to the continued use of auto
cratic militarism, even after the vic
tory had been won; that we, conquer
ing in substance, would be conquered
in spirit, and the world set definitely
spinning backward. That fear is at
an end; the relief is intense. To you
and to, the Russian revolution we owe
that relief in the certainty that the
military castle of Germany is doomed.

Car Continues
technically The Same

There will be no change of any nature
in the Chandler at the new price. The
present series, greatest in Chandler his
tory, will be continued without alteration.
The Chandler Company has striven to
avoid this advance in price But the
advance is unavoidable. 1t would have
been justified months ago. Almost every
item in cost of production has advanced
materially.
The S1395 price could have been con
tinued only by cheapening the car. And
the Chandler car has never been cheapened.

Pfaffle, Elmer Sharp. Allen Jones,

Pfaffle has not attended the board
meetings and he has held that by
removing his residence to Boise. he
would prefer not to serve out his
ter mon the board For this reason,
at the last meeting of the board. Ell
mer Sharp was selected as chairman
In place of Mr.. Pfaffle.
This will make at least one change
in the membership of the board, and
it has been mentioned that as Elmer
Sharp has disposed of his real estate
he may not want his name used as a
candidate for reelection. AS to the
three other members, there has been
nothing said as to their candidacy.
There will be disposition on the
part OF the voters this year, as in the
past, to give the north and south
side of town recognition, but aside
from this there seems to be no pref
ierence.
The village work requires a good
deal of attention and some of the
trustees claim that a business man
can hardly spare the time from his
own work to serve on the village
board. II the present members de-
cline to run again it might be wise

tired farmers and put them into the

is the water-pipe problem. The leaks

Brooks supported him The speaker ruled subsequent motions and points of order as dilatory and ordered the clerk to read the amendments. The reading proceeded while pandemonium prevailed, and above the strident shouts a score of voice were heard singing, How Dry Am; Nobody Knows How Dry I Am" The speaker ruled the second amendment adopted and MT. Hardage appealed again from his decision, on some techncal point MT, Brooks moved to lay the appeal on the table, which was adopted with thunder of ayes. Mir. Hardy of Faulkner, who has one of the strongest voices on the floor, pleaded above the din and turmoil for someone to send for the chaplain to pray for the house, and dozen members gathered around him and famed him with newspapers while he shouted

MEASURE PROVIDES FOR IN CREASlNG COUNTY JUDGES
 SALARY TO $5,ooo A YEAR.
AMENDMENT IS OFFERED
Senator kdamson Declared That He Has Been Urged To Pass Bill, But Does Not Believe People of Coun-
 ty Want To See Salary Raised.
Little Rock

Another breach between Senators Adamson and Jones, Pulaski county senators, occurred on the floor of the Senate, when Senator Adamson offer ed an amendment to the Trawick bill that provides for increasing the sal ary of the Pulaski county judge from s3,600 a year to S5,000 year.
 The fight, in which there was con siderable oratory, ended with the adoption of the amendment, which provides that the question of an 1n- crease shall be voted upon by the peo- pie of the county.
 Senator Jones gave notice that he would move to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was adopted, declaring shat he hopes to reach some sort of an agreement with the other member from Pulaski before the amendment finally is attached to the bill. He said he hoped to have the automatic reference provision strlck- en out and the bill passed with pro- vision that it can be referred to the people if they desire-and not re. ferred as a requirement. of the meas ure.
 Senator Adamson declared that he had been urged to pass the bill, but said that he did not believe the peo- pie of the county wanted to see the county judge paid such salary.
 Senator Jones asserted that the county judge now is getting less than several of the clerks, and only as much as the chief deputy of the sheriff and collectors office. He said that no effort was made to change any of these when the Pulaski county salary bill was passed. He pointed out that the present county judge, Lee Miles, is an attorney, and is deserving of a higher salary than $3,600. The bar as sociation, he said, had approved the proposal of an increase.
 While Senator Jones opposed the amendment, he urged that it be post poned so that an effort might be made to reach an agreement between House and Senate members representing the county. Senator Adamson said that two of the four representatives were opposed to the bill, and asserted that these two were not in the House cham Der when the bill was passed on. He added that there was no chance cf him agreeing to "compromise'- that he favored submitting the ques- tio. to the people, if the bill had to go through.

Diet, Exercise or Death :!

An eminent medical authority writes that most of our city folks die of thick ening of the arteries or of kidney dis ease. The kidneys become clogged and do not filter the poisons from the blood, and one trouble follows another, high blood pressure damages the heart, arteries and kidneys. Usually its danger signals are backache, pain here or there, swollen feet or ankles. rheumatic twinges or spots appearing before the eyes.
 The very best remedy is this: Eat meat but once a day, or not at all. Plenty of outdoor exercise, and drink pure water frequently, Before meals take a iittle Anuric, the great uric acid neu- tralizer that is easily obtained at the drug store. When you have dizziness, ch!lls or. sweating, worry, or dragging pains in back, try this wonderful enemy to uric acid, which Dr. Pierce of Buffalo. N. Y., discovered and named Anuric. Anuric, more potent than ithia, dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar."
