Grandmother kept her hair beauti-

Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this

This simple mixture can be depended

JOHNSON LAMS
PRESIDENT FOR
SHANTUNC DEAL
Justifies Shameful Deal, Says
California Senator in ADJ
dress to Women.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. s.
United States Senator Hiram w. John
son at a luncheon here today told
more than 1000 women that the peace
treaty with its Shantung provision is
a blot on American honor and that the
league of nations as now constituted
would make America a party to per
petuating this and other wrongs.
The women were enthusiastic and
time after time interrupted the speak
er with applause and cheers. The audi
ence represented the woman leaders in
professional, business and social life
of the city.
This was Senator Johnson's third
and final speech in San Francisco on
his present speaking tour.
President Wilson, here two weeks
ago, spoke in support Of the league
of nations covenant. Tonight Senator
Johnson will go to Los Angeles to con-
tinue his fight. From California he
goes to Oregon, Washington, Utah and
Colorado.
League Of Power.
The Senator declared the league to
De a league OF great powers of the
earth to preserve power and existing
governments"
The great question, said Senator
JoAi9oI Ndo SlNlIi6 pO"Sl ofCl
United States resources and military
forces to the league instead OF keep
, ing this power in the hands Of con-
gress and the American people.
In a discussion Of the Shantung set
Element Senator Johnson said:
The President talked to you con.
corning Shantung in a fashion which
he had never spoken before. In Paris
to use his own words as related to
US. the Shantung decision was shame
full" In Washington he described it
as "abominable and detestable."
Shantung Forever.
The Shantung decision, when II
reached San Francisco was not only
Justifiable but justified by him. 1t was
justified by him upon the theory that
in the past China had been despoiled
that during the presidency Of Mckin
ley and while Hay was secretary Of
state, China had been robbed Of terri
tory, and that in the past these
different powerful nations had imposed
upon China and unjustly deprived hel
of land
What strange mind 1t is that car
describe the same act as shameful II
Paris, 'abominable and detestable' a.
Washington, as justified and justi
fable at San Francisco, and what {
strange mind it is that calmly anC
naively presents what it terms
former despoiling of China in justifica
ton of present robbery"

You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region. get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here.
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia. and Is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful efferyescent nthia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious
complications.
a well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble

Picking Cotton on
Tucker Penal Farm

Cotton picking has begun on the
Tucker convict farm, and 100 bales
Of cotton will be picked the first
week. There are 2150 acres of cot
ton. and it is expected that the crop
will yield 1900 bales.
"What we have at Tucker" said
Commissioner Burkett, "is a model
demonstration farm, showing just
what can be done by thorough cult
walton and Investigation. 1t has been
the most successful year we have ever
had"
There has been raised the follow
ing produce on the farm: 400 tons of
hay; 1900 acres of corn which will
yield 100000 bushels: 1900 bushels of
wheat threshed and in the bin; 100
acres of peanuts on the land from
which the wheat was cut; 100 acres
of sorghum, besides hundreds of cords
of wood that have been cut by the
men. There is a barn 140 by 50
feet, one of the largest and best in
the state, sheltering 200 head OF
mules. Sheds have been provided fol
all the machinery so that none of il
is permitted to lie out in the weather
which is one of the great faults OF
the average Arkansas farmer.

Council Orders
Fire Truck for
Lakeside Station

The fire departments of Pine Bluff
will shortly be entirely motorized,
since the city council in special
meeting yesterday afternoon voted to
purchase a new fire truck to be used
at Fire Station No. 8 on Laurel street
just off Of Fifteenth.
The decision to purchase another
truck came after number of confer
ences on the subject had been held by
members of the council, who realized
that the city's growth in the south
part Of town necessitated greater fire
protection than can be given with the
horse-drawn trucks and apparatus.
The new truck will be purchased at
cost of $4,000. 1t will be truck
similar to the first truck used in Pine
Bluff and named after Simon Bloom
who was then mayor, except that the
new truck will have six-cylinder
motor instead of a four-cylinder mo-
tor. The truck will be purchased for
prompt delivery. A name for the new
truck has not been selected.

Sergeant William Norton, Arkansas
hero of the world war, VINO wao
twice decorated, once by PremieL
Clemenceau of France, and once with
medal presented by his own coun.
try. for bravery in action, STANDS ouC
as one of the tragic figures OF the
recent war. :.
Sergeant Norton, who arrived IN
Pine Bluff for visit with relatives
several days ago, is leaving today 1or
little town in Arizona to visit the
grave of the wife whom he lett IN
the summer of 1917. She died while
he was in France, and though ne re,
turned with members of the renowned
First division, the return to ms ma
tive land after more than two years
of campaigning in foreign country
did not cause the same joyous thrill
some of his companions experienced
For having left everything in life
behind him when he embarked Tor
France, he can now but go to the Ut
tie Arizona town, and stand beside
her grave. and call that his home
coming.
Sergeant Norton was born at Har-
dy, Ark, and was in the regular army
10 years before he went to France
He had enlisted in the army at the
outbreak of the Spanish-Americar
war, and at the conclusion of that
emergency, had continued in the
service. He served for time in the
islands, and later on the Mexican
border. He was one of the regular
army border soldiers who made Per
shing's first contingent of the Ameri
can expeditionary forces.
An even half century old, Norton:
erect carriage and vigorous stride
bellies his age. A bronzed face
grizzled hair, grave blue eyes, and
mouth which does not smile-he give
the impression of a man who ha
seen many things.
