London's Coffee Stalls.

Coffee stalls run by women, which are a common sight in London and other large cities of Great Britain to- day, are revival rather than a war expedient, says a writer in the Daily Chronicle. For 1t was a woman who, nearly a century ago. started the first coffee stall outside the London docks to supply working men with early breakfasts. And for many years wom- en had a monopoly in this kind of ea- tering until the early morning stall do- veloped into an alI-night institution, which required man to look after it.

Ii. C. Couch, federal fuel adminfs trator at Little Rock requested th5 railroads to make up specAl trains. with special locomotives to carry many cars of coal to the points whefe 1t ts most needed. Hot Springs, Pine Bluff. Hope, Prescott and Jonesboro again asked the fuel administrators cfIice to do something and "do it in a hurry"
 A special train with the right of way left Little Rock, carrying enough coal to carry all these towns through the cold spell, should it last for a week.
 Plans for a "coalsavfng, wood-us- ing campaign" were formulated We'd nesday night in Mr. Couchs office by members of the administration advis- ory committee and county ehairmen from all over the state.
 We must use more wood for fuel said MT. Couch. Tn a short time we expect 10 have every farmer and 4 greater part of the citizens using wood instead of coal It will be cheaper and easier to get. We have plenty of it in Arkansas"
 With the view of giving Little Rock immediate relief, H. c. Couch, federal fuel administrator, appealed to gas companies in Shreveport, La, and other towns, to cut off all industrial consumers from the reserve pipe line company. Messengers have been sent to lower Arkansas towns where gas from the local company's main is used, to see that industrial consumers all are shut down.
 Shreveport responded this evening that industrial users there had con- sented 10 shut down if it would help Little Rock. With the increased sup ply to be drawn from the reserve line by this sacrifice, Mir Couch believed the pressure here would be much greater by Sunday.
 Texarkana, Prescott, Hope and Ark adelphia, all were asked to help the situation here by closing down indus trial plants. Domestic users. too, in all these towns were asked to ecoao- mize.
 It is the only thing in the world to do to relieve the present situation said Mr. Couch. "I believe the gas Shreveport uses for industrial pur- poses will be a great help. It will mean several more million feet of gas at any rate"

MULES PERISH IN FLAMES
Believed Fire of lneendiary Origin Explosion of Large Quantity Of Ammunition and Gasoline Added
 To Damage and Excitement.
Searcy


 The large warehouse belonging to the Merchants Grocer Company at Searey was totally destroyed by fire. The fire not being discovered until the building. which is block long, vas doomed. The indications point very strongly to the fire being of in- cendiary origin. The loss Of merehan disc is variously estimated at from S10,000 to S15,000, with no insurance.
 A large auto truck, valued at S5 500, was burned. Four mules. valued at 80 each, were lost; two being burn cd to death, and the other two being so badly injured that they were shot. The two injured animals tore away out of the corrugated iron buildings, being badly cut and burned. One of the negro drivers wept like a child when he saw the animals
 A heavy snow was falling when the fire occurred. This, and the fact that there was no wind, saved the main building and other business houses. including the Peoples Bank and the McElwee garage. The three snows and sleet that had fallen in the past Six days made the fire hose almost useless. This is the most disastrous fire that has occurred here for several years. The explosion of a large quan- tity of ammunition and gasoline add ed to the damage and excitement.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
 HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent the pick of our American youth. One in four of our boys at home was sick, re- jected because of physical deficiency. Many times the kidneys were to blame.
 If we wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if we want. to increase our chances for a long life. Dr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. r.. says that you should drink plenty of water daily before meals. Then procure at your nearest drug store Anuric (double strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric acid out and cures backache and rheuma- tism.
 If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and vege- tables, with only little meat once a day, is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water, take Anuric three times day for a month. It sells for 60c.
 Step into the drug store and ask for a sixty-cent package of Anuric, or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric. many times more potent than lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you.
