SELF-POISONING
VERY PREVALENT
naturalization Cause of
Most III Health and Disease.

Advanced medical authorities assert
thdt v o-intoNiCation is the foundation
of most Of the ills and diseases 10
which the human flesh is heir.
This condition is nothing more nor
less than the slow self-poisoning Of the
vital organs produced by the excessive
mental n physical strain which we
are forced to endure. which renders the
organs lame and inactive, and permits
toKins-actual poigons-to be generated
within ones body.
Usually the trouble starts In the in
testines; sometimes it starts I'm the
stomach, liver. or kidneys, but IN any
ease the blame lies with the faulty
method OF living, and may be traced to
oVereating, excessive nervous strain,
lack OF exercise, or other causes. At
any rate it is the more important or

BLYTHEVILLE REPORTS
CROPS MUCH INJURED

BLTTHEv1LLE, Ark. May 10, (Spl)
Present crop prospects throughout
this section are undoubtedly the poor
est for several years past. Most early
cotton that came up to q stand died
during the recent cool spell, while weeds
and grass have made a rapid growth,
due to the land being so wet. Later
paintings did not come up to a stand.
In most places only a half crop has
been planted and heavy rain will defer
future planting to such a late date
that cotton could not make half a crop,
and II, 10 not likely that any more will
be planted.
Only a small acreage Of corn is up,
