SAVES WASTE PAPER;
 LOSES MORE BY FIRE

The movement for the conservation of waste paper has already caused more loss in Arkansas through fire than the paper salvage value would amount to in many years, according to warning bulletin issued to local fire insurance agents by Manager J.. s. Sneed of the Arkansas Actuarial
 bureau.
 The destruction of the school build ing at Russellville recently is attrib-
 uted, in the bulletin, to the storage of
 paper collected by the pupils. The local fire insurance agents are asked, in the circular, to call the at tentioh of the school authorities to the danger that rests in this growing GUS
 tom, which has resulted, says the cir
 cular, from a campaign for paper salvage inaugurated by the United States government.
 If paper is to be collected by pupils and concentrated at school buildings l it should be baled and shipped the same day, and unless such measures are taken, concludes the circular. "the
 increased fire hazard will of neces- sity be charged to the school in their l insurance rates"

 then to get out rush bills when the enrolling clerk was unable to attend to them.
 President Davenport took hand in the argument, getting on the floor to state that the only bill he had known of being enrolled by a person other than the enrolling clerk was one in which Senator Ruff was interested, and the very one he complained of. President Davenport declared that constituents of Senator Ruff were so insistent on getting the Conway coun- ty bridge district bill enrolled that he had consented to permit the sec retary of the senate to have the stenographer of the president attend to it. He stated that he had done this, deeming it favor to Senator Ruff, but from subsequent develop ments he was sorry he had taken any action. -7t'' at--- -e~

MAYOR AND CLERK
 SPEND WHOLE DAY SIGNING NAMES
Affix Their Signatures to 1,040 Warrants, on Which
 City to Get $15O,O00.

The signing of ones name is a simple thing. and ordinarily it is not a difficult accomplishment.
 But to sign ones name 1,040 times, at one sitting, as it were. is most tedious. t1resome and aggravating sort of job. as can be attested by Mayor Simon Bloom and City Clerk w. A. Lee. And they know whereof they speak.
 MT. Lee yesterday signed each of the certificates of indebtedness, l. 040 in all, and Mayor Bloom signed most of them, as their part of the clerical work of completing the ne gotiations whereby the city of Pine Bluff borrows S150,000 from Otis & company, of Cleveland. Ohio, for a period of three years. The mayor will sign the few remaining certificates this morning, and before noon today it is expected the certificates will be delivered to Judge James Gould, the city's fiscal agent, in exchange for the draft for the money borrowed.
 The blank certificates of indebted ness and subsidiary certificates of in- debtedness, all printed and filled in excepting the signatures of the may or and city clerk, were received yes terday morning by City Clerk Lee, from the Cleveland banking house. MT. Lee immediately notified Mayor Bloom, and started the work of sign ing the certificates. The mayor joined him at this work, and except for necessary interruptions, the en- tire day was devoted to this work.
 Judge James Cloud was due to re- turn last night from DeQueen, where he had gone on d-purchasing eX- petition, and it is expected that as soon as the last of the certificates is signed this morning, the transfer of the certificates and of the draft for the money will be effected between the city officials and the fiscal agent, Some of the certificates will become due in January next, and few more will be payable the January follow ing. but the great bulk will fall due in January. 1920, by which time it is confidently believed the financial af. fairs of Pine Bluff and all the other cities in Arkansas will have been revolutionized and modernized, either through the constitutional convention which is to be held in November or by legislative action.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Gays we can't look or feel right with the system full
 of polsons. eft

Millions of folks bathe internal ly now instead of loading their sys- tenn with drugs. Whats an inside bath?" you say. Well, it is guaran- teed to perform miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. 1t is intended to flush the stomach, liver, Kidneys and the thirty feet of bowels of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the bowels, the quick result is pois- ons and toxins which are then ab- sorbed into the blood causing head ache, bilious attacks. foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleeplessness. impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob- tain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone real crank on the sub- ject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening. so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow sls. It is vast ly more important to bathe on the in- side than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.-Advt.

sidered by the senate, the enrolling committee being held responsible for the correctness Of bills enrolled, and that the senate would not entertain resolutions which seemed to have for their foundation spite work on the part of minor employees of the senate.
 The education committee reported adversely on the Norfleet bill from the house to create Colt special school district in St. Francis county.
 Senator Carter introduced, by re- quest, resolution to change the classification of the Arkansas School for the Blind and the Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute so they would now be known as educational institutions iu- stead of charitable. As this might change the basis of appropriation and take from the common school fund money foI the maintenance of the in- stitutions, the resolution was sent to the judiciary committee.
 For Text.BOOk Commission.
 The senate adopted a resolution from Senator Emory to provide com mission of five members to study the school book question, and then fol- lowed it with the passage of the Bland-Creekmore textbook commits sion bill, without argument upon 1t.
 The senate then passed the follow ing bills:
 By Senator Caldwell-To divide the road tax collected in Pine Bluff so that the city could use half of it on it's streets.
 By Senator Ponder-Making an ap- propriation of $S5,OO0 out Of the tick eradication taxes collected in the northeast and northwest tick eradica- ton districts, to pay for the work done the last two years.
 By Senator Emory-The city man. ager plan of government for Hot Springs.
 By Senator Smith-To allow the Magnolia school district to borrow money.
 Senator Whitaker introduced a bill for the teaching of industrial work CTS in the state agricultural schools, to permit the schools to create en- dowrnent funds and to change the name of the Jonesboro school to the Arkansas State Agricultural and Polvtechnic Institute.
 Defeat Low Interest Rate Bill.
 The big thing of the afternoon was the defeat of tho Buchanan bill from the house, lowering the rate on con- tractual interest from 10 to s per cent. This was defeated by a vote of 10 to IS, and two members. Senators Owens and Edmondson, changed from the affirmative to the negative in order to move a reconsideration. Another lengthy squabble followed which was finally strengthened by the tabling of this motion, 17 to 12, and the bill was then dead for all time.
 Senator Greenhouse opened the argument for the bill, vehemently ar raigning the bankers who had lobbied against the measure, and declaring that it was the salvation of the poor man.
 Senator Caldwell, opposing the bill, declared that if the bill passed that the farmer would be driven back to the supply merchant and this would make him pay 525 per cent for his loans. He declared that 90 per cent of the farmers of this section are now getting what nioney they need from the banks, and they paid for the

ANOTHER EXPLANATION
 OF HIGH COST Of FOOD
Submarine Warfare Results Demon strate That More Food Crops Must
 Be Grown in U. s. This Year.

One ccordinating cause for the present high cost of foodstuffs that has not been taken into considera- ton. in all likelihood, by many per- sons, is brought to attention in the following circular letter from a Jop- lin, Mo-, commission firm to it's cus- toners and the trade generally copies of which have been received ill Pine Bluff: ssF .
 "The following report of ships recently sunk has an important bear ing on the situation. The total num- her sent down the first nine days Of February was a7, tonnage 150,543 When you figure that 1000 tons is equivalent to 50 cars of 10000 lbs. each. you will note that the total number of carloads of merchandise 7,500.
 Now, the principal commodities these ships carried, undoubtedly. were war munitions and food SUD- plies. It is estimated that their pro- portion average 1-3 munitions and 2-3
 foods. But. for easy figuring, say the tonnage is equal, that is, 12 only was food. You will note that this would equal 3,75O carloads that were sunk during the first nine days of February. This quantity of food has been entirely removed from consid- eration. This, in addition to the ab- normal demand that already exists is sending the markets up.
 Should Germany make her threat good to sink 50,0O0 tons per day, this would mean 1,250 carloads of food stuff per day. Do you get that? Let us repeat-1,250 carloads per day de- strOyed The subject is too big for elaboration in a circular. We. give you the suggestion; you can figure it out for yourself. If the submarine campaign continues, prices have not yet started to advance.
 There was a world shortage of food products in 1916. With so much of the worlds population out of the producing class. we do not believe tt is possible to equal last years pro- duction in 1917; while, on the other hand, consumption and destruction of food products are increasing"

 Jamaica is only four days travel from New York City Although sev- eral European steame, lines have discontinued service since the war, the island is reached by the ships of the United Fruit Company, whose vast fleet flies the stars and stripes. This American company is the iarg- est single industrial factcr in the English island. There are many garages in Jamaica and tourists taay bring in their auto free of duty
 The people are proverbially polite and courteous. "Mawnin' Ma assa, Mawnin' Missus" IS the daily morn- ing greeting on every hand. The Jamaica Tourists Association in Kingston publishes fine free pam. phlet on the island.
