TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many a
Sufferer in Belfast.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are weak.
Posons that pass off in the secretions
when the kidneys are we'll, are retained
in the body when the kidneys are dlsor-
dered If the kidneys and bladder be-
come inflamed and swollen worse troubles
may quickly follow. This Us often the
cause of bearing-down pains, lameness,
backache, etc Uric poisoning is also
frequent cause of headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatic pain
When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney
Pills, remedy that has proven effective
in thousands of such cases. Let a Belfast
woman tell of her experience.
Mrs Hattie Wallace, Sc Waldo avenue,
says: 'Doan's Kidney PINS did me world
of good when l suffered from kidney
trouble They cured me of this complaint
and during the past few years have had
no more trouble from my kidneys. | have
previously recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills and what said in my former state
ment, which l gave in 1911, holds good
today"

Camping in the Rockies.

The camp ground established at
Bartholf park, Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park last year, will be accessi-
bic this season by the completion oI
the automobile road, and second
camping place located. The great
parklike valleys lying east of the
Snowy range are well adapted for
accommodating multitudes of recrea-
ton seekers not only in the numerous
hotels and lodges but under their
own canvas.
In these days when motorists in
rapidly increasing numbers are CARRY
ing tents and camping outfits of their
own into other national parks, Il de-
mand has shown itself for similar
privileges here where nature has pro-
yided so excellent an opportunity.
With the accessibility of the Rocky
Mountain National park to Denver
aed greater centcrs of population be-
ycnd, it is predicted that many be-
sides motorists will pitch tents in the
shadow of the Snowy range.
Bartholf park is well on tie way
to some of the grandest scenery In
the Rocky mountains.

Polyglot Colorings.

While the trend is toward quiet masses
of color, especially black, navy and beige,
there is great liking for the contrasts
afforded by polyglot blendings of color,
in embroideries, girdles, pockets, revers
or other details,
Considerable use is made of taupe
braidings and embroideries on black satin
and of blue in the same connecticut
Narrow pleatings of self material trim
everything almost and narrow frills with
picot edges are similarly popular. Scallop-
ed finishes bound with the material and
finished with the new looped picot edges
are seen on some of the prettiest frocks
and blouseS.

THE GRIZZLY PASSED ON
After Viewing the Preparations Of
the Elk Herd, He Sought Dinner
Elsewhere.

"While we camred at $500 feet
altitude near the head of Fawn creek
in the Gallatin range of the north
western part of the Yellowstone Ma
tional park" writes Vernon Bailey
chief field naturalist of the United
States biological survey in a book
soon to be issued by the national
park service, II could make out with
a field glass elk herds on the high
ridges south, west, and north OF the
camp. By climbing cautiously, so
as not to distrub the elk, up to 10000
feet on Quadrant mountain south of
camp | was soon in the midst of one
of their choice summer ranges.
"Small herds and scattered individ-
uals We're seen over the big, open
slopes above Underline; punches OF
old bulls with full-grown velvety
horns lying on top of the ridges
where the wind was strongest and
insects less troublesome; calves and
yearings playing over great snow
banks on the cold slopes; and cows
peacefully lying in meadows of rich,
short grass and clover. Little streams
and pools of ice-cold water were
everywhere and the elk were pic
ture of contentment and satisfaction
with their ideal summer home.
after watching them for about an
hour a large grizzly bear that had
been digging mice on neighboring
slope was seen walking across to-
ward the elk. As he came in view
their heads went up and the herds
near me gathered into one dense
mass of about 500, old and young,
while the bear walked past close In
front of them and on over the ridge,
scarcely turning his head to notice
them. The herd was beautiful
sight. 25 or 80 old bulls with sets OF
large horns towering above the nu-
merous small sets. while the front
ranks were mainly filed with anx-
ious cows ready to give battle for the
protection of their young. When the
bear had disappeared they quietly
dispersed to their grazing and seemed
very little concerned"

HOPING FOR THE BEST.

To the Editor of The Pulasklan:
 l am hoping that God shall evolve from the world wreck a better, greater humanity But I fear it shall be long time, a very long time, as we measure years; when peace shall come, the misery and the meanness Of war. it's reek and slime, shall not be wiped off, our night as it were, it's odor shall cling to all our skirts, and we shall each and every one bear the odium. From my slender purse l give what can to keep America in the fight. I choose my medium-it is my effort to donate in those directions where pain, suffering, sorrow, most abound As the conflict deepens it stis my soul to the uttermost depths. To destroy Prussian imperialism feel that would be willing to walk bare foot, on red-hot ploughshares for 10O miles, and then drop into oblivion.

DON'T LET FOOD SUPPLY RUN SHORT AT POINT OF ORIGIN.

By this we mean not to prac- tice conservation with such force that there will be nothing left for the home folks. We have meatless days and wheat less days, and now the conserva- tors are asking us to put on a fish day, which will give us two meatless days a week. None of us object to sustaining from meat as requested to do by the government - beef, pork and mutton. We have found ready substitute in fish, poultry and game. The increase in demand for fish and poultry is amazing. Most of the fish and poultry con- sumed in Arkansas is produced in the State. The same is true of the game, though this is linn ited to rabbit and squirrel to most people, for other game can not be sold. Those who have feasted on it will soon be forced to seek other food, for the game laws leave few open months. The lakes and rivers are still filled with fish and the supply will probably outlast the war; but what are you doing to re- plenish the poultry supply? The government says that it will take 10O,000,000 chickens to re- place the beef alone, and some of your customers are the ones that must make up this deficit. Stop your customers selling off their hens by quitting the mar ket. Don't buy them and they won't offer them for sale, and we'll have a big chicken crop next year and get good prices for it, too.

DO NOT TRADE OFF
 YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

q hope that the merchants of the country, upon a more careful consid- eration of the subject, will discon- tinue their efforts to sell merchandise and take Liberty Bonds in payment, :" says Secretary McAdoo.
 The secretary states that he has no doubt that merchants offering to take Liberty Loan Bonds in exchange for merchandise are actuated by pa- triotic motives, but that such trans actions tend to defeat a primary ob- 1ect of the bond sales, as they dis courage thrift and increase expendi. lures. Bonds so taken in exchange in most cases are immediately sold in the open market, which tends to de- press the market price and adversely affects sales of future issues.

 Herbert HooUer Tells Congress
 Whole Story of Sugar Control

per annum per person it was consider ed that the duty of maintaining French morale made our course plain. A plea for further reduction in con- sumption to assist the French was laid before the public by the Food Ad ministration, as it was felt that this concession to the French and the other causes already noted would in- dicate at leats sporadic shortages in the period prior to the harvest of Louisiana and beet sugars in Novem- Der, although at no time would sup pplies wholly fair or even amount to privation if the public supported the Administration in reducing unneces- sary consumption. Requests were made to distributors to supply the con fectionery and sweet drinks trade with 50 per cent of normal and this has been generally followed by patri- otic persons. Such regulations were voluntary as the Food Administration had no authority to impose them.
 The Department of Commerce re- turns show the exports to the Allies were as follows:

CONSERVE YOUR FUEL USE MORE WOOD AND LESS COAL.

With weather such as we have had for the past few weeks, it seems almost humorous to suggest or preach conservation
 of fuel, but it must be done, es- pecially if the world of industry is to continue without interrup- tion, and factories are to turn out their full capacity. There is now too much demand for coal from sections that can get wood, and in which it is really more economical than coal. Large fac tories cannot operate on wood, for two reasons; first, it is too hard to get, and second, 1t burns out too rapidly. Coal is one of the necessities of war, and if the home consumption is more than normal, the navy is handi- capped, as well as the merchant marine that must carry food to the Allies. Coal is badly needed
 in all of the countries in Europe, and we ought to spare just as much of it as possible. It may be that coal from this section is not going to Europe, but it can
 be utilized in some sections and
 permit coal produced there to be
 chinnad ahroad Much more wood than usual has been con- sumed in Little Rock this win ter. It has been necessary be- cause of the coal shortage. It is
 well that the supply has been short, for this coal has been con- served and will be mined later, for ships use as much coal in
 summer, to generate power, as Ii in the winter. Preach coal con- servation as we'll as that of food.

MANY COTTON GINS
 HAVE CLOSED DOWN
CROP IN PULASKI COUNTY ABOUT TEN THOUSAND SHORT OF LAST YEAR-LlTTLE ROCK
 QUOTATIONS.

Many of the cotton gins of the couE- ty have finished their ginning and closed down for the season. The crop is about 10000 short of last years yield in Pulaski county. There. were 17002 bales of cotton ginned in Pulaski county before January 1, 1918, as compared with 26,717 for the period ending January 1, 1917, according toF the official figures announced by Clio Harper, special agent of the Census Bureau

During this period 236,777 tons of raws were shipped direct from Cuba to the Allies-a total of 327,133 tons to them since August 1.
 Subsequent to granting the French permit up to 100000 tons, the car shortage in this country rendered 1t impossible to secure an even distribu- tion over the country ,and it was ar ranged to shift some sugar among All lies to France and allow the distribu- tion of some 30,000 tons of sugar in- tended for France in the Northeast, we proposing to help the Allies from Gulf ports or Cuba, as the case might develop. We have not yet been able GO do so, although the Allied situation is today more critical than ever.
 The Food Administration has con- ducted systematic campaign for the reduction of individual sugar con- sumpeion. The reduction has shown in the decrease in candy sales, ct cet- era, but on the other hand similar campaign for the preservation of fruit has increased consumption in that di- rection-but will reduce consumption later on.
 In the face of the crucial situation in England and France and the ob- vious shortage in this country any dis couragement to this campaign is a positive disaster.
 Taking into consideration the stocks of raw sugar on January 1st, 1917, the total net supplies from all sources after deducting exports-from Janu- ary 1st to September 1st, 1917, were in the calculations of our statistical division about 3,287,O00 long tons against 2,9S9,0OO long tons in the same period of 1916, or an apparent net inrease in supplies by about 300,- 900 tons. On the other hand the care fully compiled statistics of the Depart ment of Agriculture show the net su- gar retained in the United States for the past three years is as follows to the 3Oth of June each year:
 1914-3,925,8O1 long tons.
 1915-3,S51, ,327 long tons.
 1916-3,553,733 long tons.
 1917-3,7 $40 long tons.
 Average for three years, 1914-1916, 3,776,952 long tons.
