Law Makers Reassemble in the National Capital After Brief Summer VacatiOn-Draft Bill in Senate.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Summer vacations ended, many members of Congress returned to Washington to- day in preparation for important leg lslation which is expected to keen Congress engrossed until the Novem- Der elections or even later.
 The three day vacation recess agree ment of the House expires tomorrow and while the Senate's arrangement runs until August 26, leaders hope to get down to work next Thursday on the man-power bill extending the draft age limits to IS and 45 years.
 Death of Minority Leader Gallinger is expected to curtail the Senate's ses- sion tomorrow, with plans to adjourn out of respect to the veteran republi- can member and to have congression- al committees attend the funeral. If a quorum of the senate attends to- morrow-a matter of some doubt to- night-Chairman Chamberlain of the military committee is expected to re- new his request for annullment of the vacation agreement and ask the Sen ate to begin consideration next Thurs day of the man-power measure. De- lay in setting aside the vacation agreement would postpone action on the man-power legislation until the following Monday at least With the national war prohibition measure hav- ing the right of way in the Senate at that time under an agreement prev iously made, the man-power measure oculd be considered only during the early part of each day unless, as it not improbable, prohibition advocates should consent to temporarily side track their measure until the man. power bill is passed.

SuorrLD ORDER ABOLISH ''' ING FREE DELIVERY OF
 GROCERIES BE MODIFIED?

Some time ago the Food Admins
 .,, for Nevada county made an
 .1or discontinuing the delivery of
 ooorios by the merchants of Pres
 .4 +o their customers in and around
 .ho town of Prescott. Some of our
 noonle thought at the time, this order
 ,s little radical, but every one, ,.;nc afraid that his or her loyalty and natriotism to the government ,ronld be brought into question if they
 made any complaint, bowed in sub n,;ss;on and without complaint. But
 finally the information came whether .nrroct or not I do not know, that
 proscott was the only town in Arkan-
 sas in which the delivery system had
 been completely abolished. Recently,
 some few of the merchants and all
 most all of the citizens, have by peti-
 finn to the Food Administrator, asked that this order be slightly modified. It remains to be seen whether this netition, which appears to be reason able will be considered. or ignored. In the first place, if discrimination of the delivery service is necessary in any way toward winning the war, why is it that Prescott is the only town in which it is enforced? Why is it that the citizens of every city and town in the state. so far as the writer knows. can have their groceries de- liyered at least once or twice a day while the people of this town must pack theirs home on their backs, or hire a Tin Lizy' or dray, if they get anything to eat?
 dare say that no people anywhere in the state of Arkansas are more loyal and patriotic to the government in this great crisis, than the people of Prescott, and if they could be con yinced that any material good would result to our interest in the war, by strict enforcement of this order, not murmur would ever be heard from any of our people on account of it's enforcement.
 It is reported that only few of the merchants are in favor of the modfi- cation of the order Thanks to those few merchants who are considerate enough of the interest and conven- fence of their customers to use their influence toward securing a modifca- ton of the order l have always re- garded our Food Administrator as be-
 ing a very considerate and reasonable man. and no doubt he will give this matter a very careful considerations
 considering the interest of the people as wei as the merchants.

 The fact that rabbits are grown easily. maintained at very small feed cost, not susceptible to disease, stand confinement well, are very prolific and require but small space in the back yard or under a back shed should cause many to turn their attention Co this industry.

TO AVOID AND
RELIEVE INFLUENZA
(By DR.. Franklin Duane)


Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard Of
influenza. The more you fear the dis
ease, the surer you are to get it. AS
the disease is spread principally by
contact thru sneezing, coughing or
splitting, many health authorities have
advised that everyone wear a gauze,
which is daily washed and saturated
with one to five hundred solution of
zinc sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the the nose and
mouth. You should avoid crowds, COM
mon drinking cups and public towels.
Keep your strength up by taking lots
of exercise in the open air and plenty
of nourishing food.
If you have any of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal distractions, flush
ed face, headache, feverishness, rest
lessness, weakness or an irritating
cough, give up your work at once and
go to bed. This will save your
strength to help overcome the disease.
Put your feet in hot water for fifteen
minutes. Thoroughly loosen the bow
els with some such mild and nom
irritating physic as DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Drink principally of hot
lemonade and then cover UP with
plenty of clothes in bed so as to get
good sweat. When sweating is free
and the fever reduced take dose Of
two Anuric Tablets every four hours,
followed by drinking at least a glass
or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets
help quickly to relieve the soreness of
the muscles and bones from which
most patients complain and help the
kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the noise,
probably nothing is better than a
mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It will give
great relief. Employed as a gargle,
IN same strength as made up for use
in the nose, and as hot as can be
borne, it quickly arrests soreness and
dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients re-
sistance to disease, so that there is
danger of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tendency
and fortify the patients strength in
sist that he keep in bed at least two
days. Probably nothing will at this
stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an
iron-tonic tablet called s1rontic" or
that well known herbal tonic, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands in
the past two generations.-Adv. 4
