UNPASSED ACTS
 NEARLY SLIP BY
MEASURES THAT FAILED TO PASS, PRESENTED TO GOV.
 BROUGH AND SIGNED.
WERE LOCAL COUNTY BILLS
Mistake Not Discovered Until Secre- tary Had Given the Acts Their Regular Serial Number
 Acts Are Void

Little Rock-Two measures, one introduced by Senator George F. Hartje of Conway, Faulkner county, Pnd the other by representatives Ste vens and Joiner of Columbia county, neither of which was passed by both branches of the General Assembly at the recent special session, were en- rolled, presented to the governor, signed and turned over to the secre- tary of state, who placed the act num- bers on them. This was discovered by the assistant chief clerk of the House. The error was due to cler1- cal inadvertance," it was said.
 Senator Hartje's bill, which became Act No. 205, was to cure certain IT, regularities in Road Improvement District No. 1 in Faulkner county. The measure was passed by the Sen oIe and sent to the House, where Representative Isaac M. Campbell, al. so of Faulkner county, who opposed It's passage, succeeded in having 1t ta- bIed. The other bill, which would have also cured certain defects in 2 road district in Columbia county, was indefinitely postponed by the House and never reached the Senate. The nlmber of this "act" is 230. Of cturse, both "acts" are illegal and void

BITTER TASTE
 SOUR STOMACH
Pills and Strong Medicines Made This Lady's Troubles Worse, But Thedford's BIack-Draught Improved Her Appetite and
 Took Away Her Bile.

Nancy, Ky.-Mrs. Cora Waddle, a resident of this place, gives out this statement: q have taken Black Draught and found 1t to be the best liver medicine I ever used. It has just been fine for indigestion, sour stomach and a bitter taste in the mouth.
 used to get bilious and constipated and had to take something. Pills and other strong medicines would only tear my stomach up and leave me in a worse fix than before taking. I began to have sick headache.
 After learning of Black-Draught I took it and was cured of sick head aches. One or two doses a week, or a pinch after meals, kept the bowels open and took away all bile. I have a good appetite, due to my use of Black Draught."
 If your liver is not acting properly you may suffer from such symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless relief is obtained serious trouble may result.
 In it's TO years of successful use, Thedfords Black-Draught has been found to relieve these ailments and stimulate the liver to do it's work.
 At all druggists.-Adv.

| NOT STRONG ON GRATITUDE
Careless Driver Apparently Unable to
 See Wherein He Had Been Given Any Help.

The horse had run away, and was tangled up in the wire fence at the side of muddy road. Its half-wit- ted owner had kicked and sworn and tried to lift the animal till he was out of sorts and covered with mud.
 A well-groomed man came along, took in the situation, and suggested: Spring the fence back, then he can get his feet free"
 The owner of the horse did as he was told. "Now give him cut with the whip and he'll get up himself"
 This the owner also did. Then he looked at the horse, up and ready for travel, looked at himself, covered with mud and looked at the immaculate gentleman in the road. Wrath filled his soul.
 Well, he grumbled, "thank you just as much as if you'd helped me"

MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates of Change Will Bring the Matter to Attention of League
 of Nations.

; One of the first projects to be laid before the League of Nations, when ii gets ready for new business, is one to revise the calendar and make it uni form throughout the world. Bureau officials of the United States, Swizer- land and Great Britain got into touch with church officials before the war on the subject of calendar revision, and have kept up consideration of the mat ter since. Church leaders say an agreement has been reached and a uniform report is nearly ready to go to the league.
 The calendar has not been revised before because of objections from the churches te dates for the great re- ligious feasts. These objections are said to be removed A fixed date for Easter, the adding of thirteenth month, the making of every week be- gin with Sunday and having exactly 2S days in each month-these are the main features agreed on Church peo- pie favoring the revision say that if the league itself cannot act, it can designate a calendar congress to do .so to sit at Geneva.
