ASKS FOR VOLUNTEERS
 FOR NEXT DRAFT BOARDS

Little Rock, Nov. 24.-Records show
 that the per capita cost of securing
 men for the first draft of the National
 army was remarkably high as com
 mred with many other states, all
 though some were much higher than Arkansas. That the work of the next draft the call for which is expected

 Apartment has issued revised instruc- | tOns to the local and district boards. Under this system, it is estimated that
 one clerk will be able to do all the | preparatory work in the average board of 5000 registrants. Addition al clerks for districts with more than that number should be appointed by the governor.
 Governor Brough is making an ap- peal to the patriotic citizens of var pus counties to offer hte services free of charge on these boards. In the first draft, only two counties reported no expense whatever in connection with the work.
 Adjt. Gen. England says; "The governor requests me to express to each and every member of the local and district boards his deep apprecia- ton of the patriotism and public spirit displayed by them in promptly offering to serve without pay if neces- sary until Nov. 50, 1917, in order that out state may make a better showing m our report for that period.

Replacing Gasoline as Fuel.

Gasoline at 60 cents or more Der gal lon has stimulated British search for some other fuel for automobiles. Coal gas Is being tried In many cities, and Consul Claiborne, at Bradford, inti- mates that, as it's chief disadvantage is It's bulk, complete success in It's use awaits only facilities for compression or storage. As now used, the gas drawn from the main is carried in a rubber-lined canvas bag of mattress shape, which Is strapped to the top of the motor omnibus or to the rear of the automobile. The gas in the bag Is connected to the induction pipe, and the engine Is worked by the suction process in the same manner as the or dinary gasoline vapor induction. Tn n trial of gas for four months, n system of motor-driven omnibuses operated by the Grlmsby municipality is said 10 have reduced the fuel cost per mile nearly two-thirds. the price per gallon of gasoline and that per 1000 cubic feet of coal gas being each 61 cents. The only change in the motor has been the fitting of a butterfly valve In the air Intake pipe for regulating the air sup. ply and as an advantage from the use of gas, 1t Is claimed that the engine is cleaner and the valves do not require grinding so often.

Passer domesticus

Length. about six and one-fourth

the English sparrow has not only held
it's own, but has ever increased in
numbers and extended its range in
spite Of all opposition. Its habit of
driving out or even killing more bene-
ticial species and the defiling OF build
ings by its droppings and by its own
unsightly structures, are serious OBJ
jections to this sparrow. Moreover,
In rural districts, 1t Is destructive to
grain, peas, beans, and other vege-
tables. On the other hand, the bird
feeds to some extent on a large mum.

to the need of a new investigation of
the present economic status Of the spe.
cies, especially as it promises to be of
service in holding in check the newly
introduced alfalfa weevil, which threat
ems the alfalfa industry in Utah and
neighboring states. In cities most of
the food OF the English sparrow is
waste material secured from the

Father, Expressing His Gratitude

II believe Tanlac just saved nv

highly interesting statement made by
Mr.. o. T. Fugerson, of Anderson, in
the endorsement he gave Tanlac on
February, 2Sth. "My daughter suf.

BILE that was like bloody diorrhca.
She bled continually for five months
despite all we could do, and she suf
fered agony, too. She was Just
bleeding to death, that js the only
way l can describe it, and the loss OF
blood had sapped her strength until
| had to lift her in and out of bed.
1--WE had doctors attending her and
they did all they could, and finnally
they said they had tried their las.
remedy, and l could not say that she
was any better than when they start
ed treating her. We had about given
up hope and began to fear that my
only child would never get well.
"My mother-in-law had been urginr
me to try Tanlac for my daughter.
and at last l bought a bottle, as the
doctors had said they had done all
they could. When the bottle had
been taken she was in pretty good
condition generally and wonderfully
improved. She gained lot Of
strength, too.
"My daughters trouble was the
most awful thing l ever heard of, and
the way Tanlac helped her was one
of the wonderful things l ever saw
or heard of. My daughter was put
on the road back to strength and i'm
proved health by Tanlac, and she soon
was able to be up and doing light
work around the house. She is in
good health, and it is all due to the
good Tanlac did her"

Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Cannot Salivate.
Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling off in
the sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs 50
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dcdson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or
