last time Was that Of building the

desired, and putting in to that.
one unit or more of the OUTFIT.
But the thing looks this way
If it wouldn't do to have nine
men out of ten raving mad be-
cause the outfit couldn't use
their brush, IT wouldn't do tc
have any other number ravina
mad.
The problem of the outfit is
the problem of when it would
be of sufficient proportions
First, to take care of the brush
of stock holders.
Second. to give to it whole
sale importance; and as We have
explained, anything short of that
would not meet the requirements
| of the brush-growing public. and
brush-orowing stock holders
would be no better off for its in
stallment.
There is still another feature
of the small factory suggestion
| it takes money to build any kind
| of factory. What we want our
association members to, under
stand is that the directors have
left no stone unturned in this
factory proposition to meet the
problems it presented.
Uuder the conditions that have
arisen since the ASSOCIATION was
organized and incorporated, there
has been no money to put in any
kind of factory.
AS stated last week. the asso.
citation was organized with the
expectation that the first and sec.
ond payments would give the
necessary funds to build aud
equip the factory. and that il
would be in opporation by this
time, or at least early this fall.
Also as stated last week, wher
confronted with the fact tina,
people didn't have the money
and wouldn't have till rfter crops
were marketed. the dates of pay
ments we're changed to meet the
condition, with the object first u
borrowing the money, if IL were
possible, ard second of falling
back on the second payment il
other means of raising the mon
ley needed should fail.
AS the matter now stands, the
payments the first of the yeal
on the 500 shares, if all are theE
sold, would give fund sufficient
Ito build and equip the factory
and with that done there would
then be chance to borrow on
the first-of-May payments, if at
that time it were found necess.
ary or advisable to do so.
A further consideration of this
factory proposition next week.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa- ticn, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a we'll known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before break fast each day, glass of hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which Is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- tenn of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! AS soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water be- fore breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

OF PUBLIC INTEREST.

George B. Irby, county food admin istrator, is in receipt of the follow ing:
 "Please exert your influence with mills in your state to manufacture Victory Mixed Flour, and continual ly impress public with desirability of it's exclusive use. This may be rendered by campaign among mer- chants to handle only Victory Mixed Flour for household trade. We are making every effort to induce sus- pension of Mixed Flour Tax Law for period of war, but congress not yet acted. Mere existence of present law, however, is not sufficient to prevent mills making Victory Mixed flour. They can pay tax and proceed with manufacture pending congress- ional action. The mills which, be- cause of geographical location can economically manufacture only straight flour, will have outlet for their product in baking trade, which prefer to do mixing. The demand for Victory Mixed flour should not be difficult since its use would save housewife form her escapable moral obligation to do her own mixing. Will you not start propaganda in re- tail and wholesale trade that they handle it exclusively for household use? Report promptly what pro gress you make with your mills and trades"
 The foregoing is identically what I started to put over on my return from Washington. It was suggested however, to me from various sources of the United States Food Admins tration that I defer the campaign. l see it is now on in full force, and, nat urally. I want to see Arkansas the first state lover the top" in state wide use of this Victory Mixed flour
 Therefore, I am asking you to call meeting of your jobbers and retail merchants. Please read them this communication. Let them know MT. Hoover's wishes. Get the retailers to demand Victory Mixed flour from the jobbers and the iobbers to repeat the demand to the mills. It can and must, sooner or later, be an accom- plished fact. The sooner the better.
 We are sending a special request to all jobbers in the state to get back of this movement and assist with the same patriotic cooperation as char acterized their participation in the campaign for the return of flour. This is EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
 Please report to me what progress you have made, as I, in turn, as you

 In connection with the Tanlac treatment, it is necessary to keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa- tive Tablets, samples of which are in- cluded with every bottle of Tanlac. It is also important that the every day rules of hygiene be observed; that is. sleep in we'll ventilated rooms, get plenty of fresh air and exercise and keep away from crowds.
 Tanlac is sold by all the leading druggists of Jackson county.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
 RAPIDLY SPREADING
Persons Weak And Rundown Easy Victims -Fortify Yourself Against It By Taking Tanlac.

According to late reports issued by State and Federal health au' horities the Spanish Influenza epidemic is rapidly spreading to all parts of the country, and it now seems that prac- tically every State in the Union will be seriously affected before it runs it's course.
 It has not become a great and ter rifying menace to the public health, but unless checked, it is apt to se- riously affect the progress of war work in all it's various departments. Already the Slipping Board has an nounced that ten per cent of it's work CTS had been affected.
 The disease has made it's greatest progress in the East where it has claimed the victims by the thousands. Reports from other sections, however, are equally alarming; and both civil and military authorities have warned the public to take every precaution to prevent its further spread. In many cities, schools, churches and theatres nave been closed and public gather ings of all kinds forbidden.
 Medical authorities agree that peo- pie who are weak and rundown are the earliest victims of the Influenza epidemic. If you find yourself tired, weak and losing flesh, or if you are in a generally rundown condition, or if you catch cold easily this warning should be needed promptly. You are really in great danger, because the germ of this disease is very catching and you are apt to fall an easy victim if you come in contact with the germs. People who are we'll and strong are not likely to contract the disease because they are able to throw it off. The common-sense way to keep from taking it is to fortify the system agains tatack by building up the constitution.
 Tn other words to use the old adage, An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure" And if you are in a sub-normal condition the proper thing to do is to begin imme- diately to build up your powers of resistance. To accomplish this, mo- thing on earth will strengthen you
