the baby does not grow very fast A

TAKE SALTS TO
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
East Less Meat if You Feel Back achy or have Bladder
 Trouble,

" Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their f. forts to filter it from the system. Reg ular eats of meat must flush the kid neys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the acids, waste and pos on, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back CT sick headache, dizziness, your stom- ach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheuma- tism twinges The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and wo- men take now and then, thus avoid ing serious kidney and bladder dis eases.-Advt.

Who Made Threats?

Mr. Nixon: "If MT. Parham knows where these men are and if all they want is body guard, we can send the body guard after them and bring them in here and we can go ahead in the trial of the cases that far. If he can get them here at all, he ought to get them here as soon as he can; and he ought to give that assurance. If those men were intimidated by someone they did not know, it seems like they are poor detective organ ization if they can't find out who it was that intimidated them. l want to urge this to the court: Just as mat ter of fairness to my client, if it is not already known, I will divulge that secret-that he expects and wants to be candidate for re-elec- tion in the May primaries. He can not solicit the support of his friends until he is cleared of this charge. If they put it off until the 22nd of April it will probably be the 25th of April before the result will be known"
 The Court: "I will set the cases for April second and the witnesses will be recognized to be here April sec ond, on Tuesday. 1 think MT. Nixon is right about that-I think the court ought.to be informed if the parties to this suit, or any other parties whether in this suit or not-are in- timidating those witnesses and they are not here because of their fear of bodily violence. The court will post ,, pone this case until you can get them here or demonstrate that you cannot !. get them here. Now, then, the case will be set for the second day of April-which is Tuesday-giving ar opportunity to get your witnesses here. Intimidation on the part of the state will be punished the same as intimidation on the part of the de fendant. Men ought to be afraid 'ot , violating the law and afraid of inter, fering with the courts process. If il ever gets so that party can be intim- idated-a witness can be intimidatao i, then it-is bad thing for the coun. , try, and I don't think anybody recog-
 nizes that fact any more than the law yers who are officers of the court, anc l believe this bar especially does not like that sort of business"
 ''Deplorable Situation"
 Tho it is probable that the prosycut- ling attorney was informed of the
 identity of the men who made the
 threats, MT. Parham yesterday after
 noon said he had nothing to add to the
 statement he made in court except l You can quote me as saying that { ideplorable situation exists in Pine Bluff" t~1

 their clients are suffering injustice. Other asesset for yesterday-thos.

NORRIS BREACHES
 ON SELF-SACRIFICE

Members af the Rotary Club Of Pine Bluff celebrated the birthday anniver- sary of the club and St. Patrick's s day by attending services at the First Presbyterian church Sunday forenoon. The minister-member of the club, Dr. J. I. Norris, pastor of the First Pres byterian church, made an inspiring address on Service which is the aim of Rotary. The minister used Matthew 10:39 as his text, urging more self-sacrifice and less selfish ness, and showing there cannot be service of the kind that is worth while without self sacrifice. Dr. Norris proved, by recounting numerous events that what is gained by selfish ness is not worth while, and that the only real road to happiness and gen uine gain is by service to ones fel- lows; that the things of most value come only thru self-sacrifice.

BEGINNINGS of Great Things.

On July &c, 1S47, the first electric
magnetic locomotive was exhibited and
operated. The exhibition was made
In the town hall of Dover, N. H., by its
inventor, Moses G. Farmer. 1t carried
several people, who were doubtless
the first passengers transported on q
railroad by electricity in the United
States. Farmer lectured upon the in
ventiOn at various Eastern points,
after which he opened telegraph Of
fee, where he devised the well-llnown
fire alarm apparatus. AS early as 1850
Professor Farmer predicted, among
other results, the talking exactly as
we talk today by telephone, and he
also saw the feasibility of eleNclc
traction by means Of the storage HSt-
terry and trolley system now in use. He
also invented n flying machine, but
his sudden death prevented his bring
ing it before the world.

Seattle Man Not Quite Certain Wheth.

Was No Gutter.

Last summer, when every young
mans thoughts were on the war, a
wealthy lumberman from Seattle ar-
rived III New York on a business trip.
His business having been attended to
he was guest at a dinner given one
evening by an officer in the United
States marine corps. AS the hours
end the flowing bowl passed, speeches
became more and more frequent, ev-
erybody was wrought up, and there
was no man so base as to say that he
would not go to the front for his coun-
try.
Early the next morning the Seattle
man started back home.
A few days later the officer of ma.

PREPARE HOUSE FOR WINTER
ter Than lmpure-ventilation Of
Much Importance.

prepared by the United states Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Hens can withstand cold air much
better than impure air. Don't shut
the poultry house up tight at night to
keep out the cold unless ventilation is
provided. Hens will thrive better-and
lay more eggs-if they have plenty of
pure air; not draughts. II is as neces-
sary to fowls as clean water and good
food.
When hens are confined in badly
ventilated houses, as is sometimes the
case in cold weather, they lose vital
ity, produce fewer eggs, and often be-
come sick and stop laying. Good ven
tilatiOn is needed also to keep the
house dry. In cold weather moisture
collects on the walls and roof in a
poorly ventilated house, making it very
uncomfortable for the poultry to live
in. When the temperature rises this
moisture trickles down saturatlng the
air and making the litter or the floor
wet.
If the house is not Overcrowded and
day In cold weather, no great harm is
done. In an OvercrOwded house condi-
tions become insanitary in a few hours.
Even in a house properly stocked con-
ditiOns at the end of one day of i'm
pure air are nOticeably bad and, unless
promptly corrected, grow steadily
worse.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness in a poultry house is simply
matter of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary to
keep the walls dry. Few poultry keep
erS have any difficulty in this until the
temperature goes low enough to freeze
water In the house. Then the tendency
is to close doors and windows to keep
the house warm.
This is the right idea, subject to the
practical limitation that the house
must not be closed so tight that the
supply of fresh air is insufficient, and
! the circulation of air is retarded to
such an extent that moisture collects
on the walls. The proper regulation
of ventilation insures pure air and dry
ness, ana keeps the mousse as warm as
is practicable without the use of artl-
fetal heat, or special provision to alb
sOrb an excess of moisture. The ad-
justment of doors and windows to pro-
vide the conditions required must be
| learned by observation.
The general rule is to open doors
and windows as much as is necessary
to keep the house dry in cold weather,
and to keep them wide open when wa
ter in the house will not freeze.
Cheap cotton cloth and common bur-
lap are often used in some of the win
dOws Of a poultry house in place of
| glass. Cotton cloth is to be preferred
for this purpose because it is cleaner
and admits more light. When both
cloth and glass windows are used the
