NENA LOSES THRU
POOR HIGHWAYS
Manganese That Could Be Shipped
From Folks County Seat Win
Go to Other Points Because
OF Bad Raads
tBy Robert NJ Berry,

Bad roads has given Mena's hopes
of becoming the center of manganese
ore shipping another kick in the face.
And the sad part of the sad news is
that it's our own fault. too. There's
little chance to lay blame for the
present condition Of Polk county
highways on anyone else than the
home folks.
Not many days ago mention was
made that the Dozier interests over
ia the Little Missouri country were
figuring on shipping their first out
put of manganese thru Womble. The
sole and simple reason for doing this
is because Montgomery county has
better roads than Polk. Manager
Glenn stated he preferred to snip
from Mena but couldn't make it the
way the roads are.
Since that time Manager Messall
Of the Enid Company announced that
the first car load of ore that compa-
ny is preparing to ship would go to
Hatfield because there were no roads
leading to Mena.
The latest dash at Mena's hopes is
given by Albert ]. Parent, who is de-
veloping claims near Big Fork. MIR.
Parent stated Friday that he expects
to begin hauling ore from these
claims within the next two weeks. the
work Of development having pro-
crossed so satisfactorily as to make
this possible.
You're going to haul to Mena, Of
course" the interviewer asked Mr..
Parent.
"0h no" was the disappointing
t'We'll haal to Womble be-
s$e os4r the good roads they have
a% Montgomery county we can easily
make the trip in two hours"
To reach Mena. Mr.. Parent said it
required nearly as many hours as
there are miles between the county
seat and Big Fork Because his Of
fees are here and his home is here,
he would prefer bringing the ore
shipments to Mena, but can't afford
it the way the roads are.

MAYOR SMITH INJURED
Mena's Executive Receives Painful
Hurts on New Auto Truck

Mayor Ira o. Smith is suffering
from broken nose the result Of an
accident while bringing a new Little
Giant truck overland from Fort
Smith to Mena, Thursday. Owing to
bad ROADS the mayor was delayed in
the trip and after dark phoned in
from a point twenty miles north ask
ing that some one be sent out to help
finish the journey. The mayors
father and George Emerson went
out in car and joined His Honor, the
latter turning the truck over to En-
erson and taking the car A little
later the car met with an ac-
cident and had to be abandoned All
three men then started Menaward on
the truck. Not having any lights,
the truck ran into a stump in the
road and Mayor Smith was thrown
in such a way as to strike his nose
against the top Of the cab, but the
others managed to hold on and es-
cape injury. The mayor was taken
to the Jackson farm and DR.. j. T..
Bogard summoned, who discovered
that the bones in the nose were brok-
en-. The mayor was forced to remain
overnight at the farm house, while
the others came ON to Mena. Friday
morning Ad Dickson went out and
brought His Honor back to the city
tho he had walked good part Of the
distance before being met with the
car. The injuries while painful will
not prevent the mayor from attend
ing to his many duties.
The Mena weekly star., 1918-12-12

An informal meeting of Mena bus
mess men and mining men at the
Commercial Club Thursday night
called attention to the one big fact
that development of the manganese
industry here was handicapped by
lack of good roads. The sentiment
Of the local men present was that
work Of making the highways lead
ing into the mineral field suitable
for transporting ore was a matter of
prime necessity. Without the roads
for hauling the manganese to the
railroad the mineral is practically
useless, and no matter how great a
quantity there is, no one could profit
by the ore without getting it to the
suitable market. The local men pres
ent agreed that the matter of build
ing a suitable main line road into
the field should be taken up at once
and the work pushed to completion.

SALT LAKE CITY MAN
TELLS HOW TANLAC

Don j. Perry Says Wife Has Gained
Twenty-eight Pounds and He Gain

TaHizz.

my Wife has gained twenty-eight
pounds and | have gained ten pounds
in the past few weeks since we began
taking Taniac," said Don ]. Perry, a
well known business man, residing at
$40 Ounce street. Salt Lake City,
Utah.
"Mrs. Perry had suffered from
stomach trouble for a long time,
he continued "She had no appetite
and complained of a heavy feeling in
the pit Of her stomach. She was
extremely nervous and don't believe
she slept as much as two hours out
of twenty-four, in over two years
She lost weight and strength contin-
ually and could not attend to her
household duties. She tried every
thing we could find and nothing gave
her any relief until we got Tanlac.
Her stomach trouble is entirely gone
now. she can eat just anything she
wants without any trouble and be-
sides gaining twenty-eight pounds,
she is able to do all her homework
and seems like "a different person.
.As to my own case, had been in
nervous rundown condition for
three years. My appetite was so
poor that l would hardly average

SODA AND SULPHUR
TO PREVENT FLU
Old Physician in Georgia Advises
People to Put Sulphur in
Shoes-Tried it in 9th
Epidemics.
From St. Cloud, Florida Tribune.

From st. Cloud, Florida Tribune.
Last week Mrs. H. H. Huffman,
residing on New York avenue, st.
Cloud, favored the Tribune with
clipping from newspaper of her
former home Huntington, W. va.)
that told of sulphur being a certain
preventative of Spanish influenza
and some other diseases.
The Huntington paper tells of one
negro woman in that city who had
been using sulphur preventative ever
since the influenza epidemic started
in that city. She used sulphur gar
gle daily and sprinkled sulphur in her
shoes.
Does it; yes sub, does it," she
said in answer to inquiries. Ev'ry
niawnin' | shakes a leedle sulphur in
my shoes; an it sho' is de stuff to
gahgle with"
Then the Huntington paper printed
the following from the Atlanta Con-
stitution:
"Put small amount Of sulphur in
each shoe every morning and good

This is the remedy offered to the
people Of Atlanta By Georgia doc
tor who has been practicing in Dixie
forty years and who went through
the yellow fever epidemic in New Or
{ Iauvr COR
This physicians account Of the sue
eessful trial of the sulphur remedy is
as follows:
I'm the early SOS / moved to
Louisiana to practice medicine, and
remained in the town where first
located for nearly twenty years. It
was in the southwestern portion of
the State and had large sugar and
lumber industries. Therefore | met
many travelling men; and one in par
ticular remember-from Memphis,
Tenn.-who told me he had nursed
yellow fever and cholera in all their
stages, had assisted in burying the
dead, and that the only precaution he
ever took was to sprinkle sulphur in
his shoes every morning during the
epidemic, and that he had never con-
tracted the disease; Furthermore,
that Of everyone he had told about it
and who had tried it, not one had
the disease.
in 1897 we had an epidemic Of
yellow fever, and, remembering what
this gentleman had told me, | tried
It, notwithstanding had very little
confidence in it. / shall never regret
it, for / escaped the fever. though |

''Now-what has this to do with in

at has the same to do with it that
it had to do with yellow fever and
cholera-kill the germ.
II believe that when the system is
thoroughly saturated with sulphur as
suggested, it will prevent the germs
Of any disease from attacking the hui
man system.
"There is no doubt that sulphur
will penetrate the system readily, for
when a person takes sulphur into his
system, and has silver dollar in his
pocket, the dollar win be turned bIaci

at would be very little trouble to
have the boys in the military camps
try this suggestion, and thus break
up the disease which is causing SC
much suffering and a great many
deaths.

Miners ASK FOR
ELECTRIC ROAD
District Officials Petition Col. H. W.
Knight to Change Routing Of
Line to Reach Mena's Man
ganese Field.

Realizing the great advantages Of
having standard guage transporta-
tien line run thru the heart of Mena's
manganese field, the board of direc-
tors of the Mena-Polk County Min
ing association have asked for a
change in the routing of the Mena-
Hot Springs Electric railroad
In formal petition the directors
ask that Col. w. H. Knight adopt a
new route for the proposed line and
swing it in southerly direction out
of Mena. and reach the manganese
fields by way Of Dallas, Nunley,
Board Camp, and Big Fork in Polk
county and thence on TO Claggett in
Montgomery county
This routing would make points in
the field south of the line and east
of the K. G. s. railroad accessible
to rail transportation. The electric
line by following the new route
would give all the manganese mines
double opportunity to get ores out
to the steel mills. Also il would save
many long hauls for the mines that
are now starting on the extreme east
ern edge of the mineral belt.
At Claggett where some famed
mineral springs are located, fine
opportunity Is afforded for opening
up a great health resort. The reso-
lntions as adopted by the directors
of the mining district association at
executive session Wednesday night
are as follows;
Whereas. Colonel IL w. Knight, is
promoting an electric railroad from
Mena to Hot Springs, and
Whereas, it is the sense Of this or
ganization that the mining industry
being evedloped IN Polk county will
be the source Of immense tonnage
both in handling Of ore as well as
supplies, and
Whereas, this organization is vital
ly interested in the successful con-
Summation Of the projected railroad,
and
Whereas. this organization is Of
the opinion that feasible route cen
be obtained conveniently located with
reference to the mining field;
Therefore Be 1t Resolved by the
Board Of Directors Of the Mena- Polk
County Mining District that Colonel
II. W. Knight be invited to adopt
route for the proposed railroad by
way Of Dallas. Nunley, Board Camp
Big Fork in Polk county, and thence
through Montgomery county via
