DEATHS TOLL
Henry D. Ravenscraft

Death struck unexpectedly in Mena Friday and summoned H. D. Ravens craft. agent for the K. c. S. railroad The end came shortly before 5 o'clock in the evening, while Mir Ravenscraft was enroute to his home, corner Reine street and Church ave- nue.
 Early in the day Agent Ravens craft was prostrated by heart fail ure but rallied when medical aid was promptly given. He grew stron- ger as the day went along and friends and the family were relieved from their first alarm. He was made comfortable at his office in the frieght depot and remained there in- stead of going home as first planned.
 A second attack came during the afternoon and it was thought best to take him home. Accompanied by his physician the railroad man star ted what was to be his last journey in life, for by the time the Revens- craft home was reached death had won the victory.
 Henry D. l. Ravehsersft, better known sAs Harry, was one of Mena's best known men.ss He es'has been con- +hected With the K. c. S. at Mena since the early days of the railroad, serving as chief clerk until 1910 when he was made agent. Mir. Raw enscraft was born in West Virginai, July 19, 1870, and was aged AS years, 6 months and 3 days at the time of his death.
 Surviving him are his wife, a daughter Bessie at home and a son Harold, now in the naval service at Hampton Roads, Va, a brother Bert Ravenscraft lives in Mena and a sister, Mrs. B. ". Atwood at Heav- ener.
 Funeral Services for Henry D. Ra- venscraft were held Sunday morning and interment took place at Odd Eel lows cemetery. Brief services were held at the home in charge of Rev. T. A. Park, pastor of the Presbyte- rian church. At the grave the final service was under the direction of the Elks, with Exalted Ruler, Dr. H. c. Rushing in charge. The pail bearers were R. A. Tomlinson, Arnold Badt, Frank Tomlinson. R. R. St. John, Roy Miller and Frank Atwood. Among the beautiful floral offerings were those by the Elks and Evening Club.

This Firm Dissolved.

From the Fort Smith Times-Record.
 The firm of Me & Gott is no more The junior partner, weary of playing second fiddle and being virtually lg- nored in all important matters, and receiving none of the glory taken to himself by the senior member; also, wisely seeing bankruptcy for the firm looming ahead, tucked out in time to save his bacon, leaving the senior partner to face the creditors. The firms condition at this time may briefly be stated as: Liabilities Several million dead, several million crippled and blinded, several billion property waste, many billions debt to German people (loans), many bill ions indemnity due entente nations, vast colonial empire gone. Assets sstrong German sword' (bent and broken), one shining German shield" (battered and tarnished), six husky sons (unscratched).

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES.

d .Nf Some of the best remedies we have are just simple things that can easi- ly be prepared at home and at almost no expense. To make an excellent cough medicine at home, boil two ounces of flaxseed in one pint of wa ter, add two ounces of rock candy, one half pint Of honey and the juice of three lemons, and let boil well. Take one teaspoonful several times day until cough is cured. To cure warts on the hands, keep an Irish po- tato in a convenient place, cut off a piece four or five times day and rub the fresh juice over the warts and keep this up until the warts dis appear. When child cries with ear ache, mix well together three drops each of glycerine and hot water and drop in the ear, then add little cotton, and in bad cases apply two or three times. To cure a chronic sore, take hard stump or heart of a cabbage and let it simmer on the back of the stove with tablespoon ful of pure lard and use as an oint- All tAttilSnL IShG1y ACA chapped hands or sore skin is made by heating one half cup of sweet lard and stirring in a leyed spoonful of powdered borax while it is still quite hot and then pouring over the well beaten white of an egg and stir ring until perfectly smooth and cold and as thick as salye. There is no better gargle for sore throat than a tablespoonful each of salt and borax in a pint of water, and one of the best known remedies for catarrh is one-fourth teaspoonful each of borax and soda and ten drops of listerine in one cup of warm water. To keep the gums healthy and firm use a wash made with one teaspoonful each of tincture of myrrh and borax in a glass full of water and this wash is equally beneficial to the teeth when applied with tooth brush. If you have a bunion or corn that is very sore. annlv iodine with brush until all soreness is gone then wash of strong salt water every night will finish the cure.

If You Don't Love Old Glory,
 Don't Love You.

Wouldn't you hate to be stacker, and with the slackers stand, With the brand upon your fore head and exemption in your
 hand?
 Wouldn't you hate to face your moth CT and your sister and your dad, And tell them where you'd been, and show them what you had? Wouldn't you hate to see the look on your pretty sweetheart's face, When she found her noble hero, was a stacker in the race? Wouldn't you hate to see her take your ring from off her finger. And hand it back to you and say that's all you needn't finger. Wouldn't you hate 10 see the sweater coat so proudly made for you, Adorning handsome Billy Brown, or gallant Private Drew? Wouldn't you hate to hear your neighbors, your old schoolmates, and your chums.
 Say "Ha! Hal there he goes!H in stead of "Hurrahl here he comesi"
 Then. wake up lad and be a man, don't put it off too long, Tear up those papers in your hand and start off with this song: 'I'll never be stacker and with the slackers stand.
 With shame upon my forehead and exemption in my hand. I would rather be a soldier and with the soldiers go.
 To fight for home and country and vanquish freedoms foe. would rather show my dear old dad he's the father of a man, Than to be a skulking stacker from the ranks of Uncle sam! q may never be hero, but I'll do the best I can;
 I'm going to claim my heritage and be regular man"
 From Trench and Camp.

Anyhow President Wilson's call to the country to elect only Democrats to Congress has stirred up more pol itica than has shown for some years.
