 John s. Small of Memphis, writes: "When I was in doubt about making a change and wanted to sell my busi- ness, I called on you on the advice of friend. Your help and your sugges- tions enabled me to sell my property quickly and at good price. Since then your advice has been worth many thousands of dollars to me-"

LLOYD GEORGE READY FOR THE
 FINAL CONTEST
Prospects For Full Pledged Vic tory Far More Propitious Than Tuesday-Gains Public Sentiment.

London, Feb. 18.-Lloyd- George will cross swords with his antagonists in parliament tomorrow in the final con- test over Robertson and Versailles war council. His prospects for a full fiedged victory seemed far more pro- pitious tonight than they did at the end of the stormy opening session last Tuesday when the whole trend of the debate strongly favored the opposi- ton.
 Unity of control and action" is the rock on which the Lloyd George gov ernment means to stand or fall. In the week that has elapsed since the test tilt" between the premier and his predecessor, MT. Asquith, public sentiment has noticeably swung around to the view that what was done at Versailles was vital and im- perative for the welfare of the allied cause and that in the face of all over- shadowing need of unity the prefer ences of individuals are of conse- quence.
 1ndication that the principal indi- vidual military chief involved in the controversy, General Sir William R. Robertson, has realized the wisdom of the government procedure, was seen in today's announcement by Bonar Law in the commons that the former chief of staff has accepted the com mand of the eastern division of Eng lands home defense.

 PhyC|liic C|aiirvoyant
MT. C. CaldrO, the We'll Known and Noted Advisor, Will Visit Prescott Every Wednesday, Beginning Next Wednesday, February 20th.
Office at MT. J. D. MOrrison's Residence, III South Main Cor. East Second Street. Hours, 10 a. m. to 6 D. m.

(Mr. Caldro works under the aus pices of the St. Louis Independent Spiritualist Church Society and has visited cities in Arkansas periodically for many years.)
 MT. Caldro solemnly promises to tell your full name, name of friends, the names of those you care for most and to give information about your business and other affairs. Unless he does exactly as here stated, your visit to him costs you nothing-you to be the only judge.
 He will advise you absolutely cor rectly on all affairs, such as court ship, love, marriage, domestics affairs, business difficulties, changes, travels, wills, investments, lost or stolen arti- cles, or anything you may be in trou- ble or doubt about. The earth yields it's hidden treasures to his vision and his forecasts of possibilities in your future may be the means of bringing you the prosperity and happiness that has been denied you heretofore.
 A visit to Mr Caldro is not to be confounded with a visit to a so-called fortune teller. There is no catering, no superstition, no attempt to prac- tice necromancy. Mir. Caldro is a highly educated and polished gentle man who in clear and precise words shows you how to gain those things you hold worth while having, and that may seem unattainable to you. There is no hope or ambition, but what can be realized with his help and advice.
