FUEL SUPPLY SHORTAGE
Is RECEIVING ATTENTION
Governor Phillip Takes Hand in Mat
ter and Urges Government to
Rush Coal to Northwest.

With the approach of cold wealth
er he fuel problem is again to tht
tore III cities in the northwest, and
while there is no immediate cause
tor alarm, the possibility of fue
shortage is receiving attention.
Despite the assurances of local
dealers that coal in plenty will bt
forthcoming and that there will be-
enough to supply the demand
there IS apparent an air of uneasi
ness among coal users, especially
among those who depend on an
thracite coal for fuel. And this
air of uneasiness has been augment
ed by the recent cold snap. With
thousands of orders waiting to be
filled and no coal to speak of com
ing in as yet and the close of the
lake shipping season but a matter
OF weeks, there is reason for con-
cern.
In the hopes of relieving the
situation, especially in the north
west, Gov. Philip on Tuesday
telegraphed President Wilson urg-
ing him to use every agency to
have coal shipped to the cities where
1t Is most needed. His message
was as follows:
The supply of anthracite coal
is very short in this state. In fact,
many homes that depend upon this
kind of coal for fuel are entirely
without it and we can see no sup,
ply coming to us either by water or
rail. There is not a generous sup
ply of soft coal that can be used as
a substitute and on account of the
nearness of winter the amount of
coal supply for our people gives us
great concern.
We feel that the home is en-.
titled to first consideration in the
matter of fuel supply However,
II the government will not under
take to direct the shipments a great
part of the coal which should come
to US will 60 to other points.
Il again respectfully suggest that
you appoint fuel administrator
who will have the right to distri-
butte the available coal where it is
most needed and that the situation
IN the northwest receive proper
consideration. | fear that unless
this is done there will be great
suffering in Wisconsin and neigh
boring states.
You will appreciate that the
states are without authority in this
matter and that all we can do is
to beg of the producers who have
the right to reject our demands if
they see fit and they usually do
when their own best interests
suggest that they ship their pro-
duct in other directions.

NATURALIZATION EXAMINER
URGES NIGHT SCHOOLS
Examinations for Citizenship Discloses
lrsOrance that Could Be Remedied
by Night Schools.

Naturalization Examiner r. K
Doe, who conducted the examina-
tions OF applicants for citizenship
at the special term of court held
on Wednesday, is strongly in favor
OF night schools as a means of dis.
seminating knowledge among those
who IN their youth were denied
school advantages or wilfully re
fused to take advantage of them
The lack of knowledge, especially
among the women, is very distress
ing, according to Mr.. Doe. The
average foreign woman does not go
through the fifth grade in school
she scarcely ever reads, and her
knowledge of government aud the
country is very meager.
One woman, an American born,
gave the startling answer that the
Atlantic ocean was north of the
United States, when asked to locate
it, and as to Europe-she hadn t
any idea where it was. Some had
never heard of Washington and
one said she had heard that Lincoln
was one of the residents of the
United States.
Mr.. Doe assures that women are
examined Just as strictly as men
and one can delay the other in be
ing admitted to citizenship if the
wife or the husband is not we'll
enough informed.
The trouble with aliens in this
country is that they don't speak
the English language in the
homes, " remarked Mr.. Doe.
There are cases of foreign born
women who have lived in this
country for twenty years with from
hve to ten children going to school
who are unable to express them
selves in the English language.
Their children speak English and
their husbands but they do not
deem 1t necessary to make the ef-
fort. Now that suffrage is grant.
ed those women are at a loss. They
cannot use their privilege and
they cannot be admitted to citizen
ship, neither can their husbands.
All husbands should demand the
use Of the English language in
their homes.
The only method of combating
ignorance of this kind " said Mr..
Doe, is through the night school.
Cities should establishnight schools
not only for the foreign born but
for the young people, who when
they have the opportunity to go to
school, have not the inclination,
and later when they feel the lack
of education and are to old to enter
the public schools they can enter
night schools to learn trades as
well as cultural subjects.
Duluth has a splendid system
of night schools, continued Mr..
Doe. The Chamber of Commerce
there, has launched the project and
three experts on Americanization
have been hired who go out among
the foreign born women aud men,
organize classes and teach those
things necessary to gain the priv
ilege OF citizenship. At least 90
percent of the students attending
night school are American born
who have failed to snatch their op-
portunity when they had it Were
it not for night school they would
sink below the level -

Hays Declares Charges Made by
 Cox Are False

New York, Aug. 27.-Will H. Hays chairman of the Republican National
 committed, replying to the speech of Governor Cox in Pittsburgh last night. in which the democratic pres. idential nominee sought to prove that republicans were conspiring to buy the presidency, declared that MT. Cox had such intimate knowledge of the wasting of millions in aircraft pro- duction" during the war that he "dreamed in millions"
 After studying MT. Cox's speech MT. Hays issued the following state ment at republican headquarters: "Of course, candidate Cox fails tt prove, as he has failed to prove and will fail to prove, his charges. This lis simply because the charges are false.
 >"He says millions have been put into the republican national commit tee by sinister influence to corrupt the electorate. He first is reported LO nave Sdlu u HuHOIcu AHiiAioH' AhSi Secretary Roosevelt said thirty mil. 1 lion. Then Candidate Cox said fifteer i million, while now Candidate Cox says eight million.

Chamber Plans to Investigate Effect
 of Credits Ruling

Pine Bluff business men yesterday at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel Pines, dis cussed the policy of the Federal Reserve board in restricting credits and it was suggested that the recent action of the board may have been responsible for the drop in the price of cotton. A committee was appoint ed to make report to the Chamber at the meeting next Friday.
 l T. H. Gregory told of the state ment made by Gov. w. P. G. Hard- ing of the Federal Reserve board to the effect that several New England cotton mills had sufficient cotton on hand to run them until next year. He stated that Governor Harding had Been asked to name the mills that were holding the cotton and this was denied. It was declared that an in- justice would be done the planters and cotton dealers of the South if such a report was not justified.
 Upon being asked for statement, Jack Bernhardt, of the Cotton Belt Savings Bank and Trust company, said he thought that if there had been any injustice committed it was not the system itself but in the adminis- tration of the system. He said he thought the system very wise one but if there were any faults in the system, criticism by business inter- ests and organizations would go far toward having congress correct these faults.
 It was decided to ask the Pine Bluff Machine Gun company to be the guests of the Chamber of Commerce at luncheon on Sept. IT.
 The committee which was appoint ed to confer with Cotton Belt off cials in an effort to have several changes made in the Cotton Belt schedule, made a report and the mat ter was left with the committee with the assurance that the Cotton Belt would make several changes at the first opportunity.
 Plans for tour of the Arkansas Louisiana Highway by the Chambers of Commerce and other organizations of Little Rock, Pine Bluff and other towns of southeast Arkansas, were told of by Manager E. B. Bloom.

FELT EVERY BREATH
 WOULD BE HER LAST
For Ten Years She Suffered So That At Times She Feared Her Heart Would Stop Beating.

"Tanlac has been my favorite medi- cine now for four years," said Mrs. Amelia Solari, of 346 Washington avenue, Memphis, Tenn, in an in- terview, few days ago.
 Before I took Tanlac there was never day in ten years that my stomach did not give me trouble. don't believe anyone could suffer much worse from indigestion than I did and live. The gas on my stom- ach would crowd my heart with such pressure that it would almost stop beating. I simply ha dto gasp for breath and at times it seemed like was about to breathe my last. got to the point where I was actually afraid to eat because of the awful suffering knew so we'll would have to undergo. Many day I was so weak and felt so tired I could hard ly get about and it was just by force of will that I kept from giving up entirely.
 "Well, have felt thankful thous- and times that Tanlac was put on sale in Memphis, for it proved to be just what had been needing so long. AL most immediately after I began talk ing commenced to feel better, I was able to eat most anything I wanted. and am still able to do so without suffering touch of indigestion. Since then I have made it a rule to take few bottles each year. It keeps me with good appetite and feeling strong and we'll ali the time. I think so much of Tanlac that I wouldn't think of being without it."
 Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff by Brashers Central Pharmacy; Al theimer by A. w. Leake and Rison by Boggs Drug Co.

Armenia,s Homer.

Armenia, as we'll as Greece, had a
Homer. Like Homer, Moses Of
Khorene, who wrote in the seventh
century, was held to be dealing alto
gether with tradition until archaeolog-
ical discoveries revealed the fact that
some OF his personages were historic.
according to the Christian Science
Monitor. Semiramis, the queen who
built the city of Van, much as Homer
describes Dido building the city OF
Carthage, has been found in the rec
ords Of the past; but the civilization
OF her day was overthrown by Cyrus
and his successors, and the lane be-
came Armenia, and entered upon a
period Of about a thousand years
when general illiteracy obtained
among the population. Concerning
this period practically no record sur
wives. Not until the fourth century
did the land, now Influenced by Chris

DRUGS FEARFUL AND AWFUL
Amazing Connections That Our Ane.s.
tors Swallowed, Believing That
They Had Medicinal Virtues.

3 The medicines used down IN avon
recent days sound most extraordinary
10 our ears. AS late as the eighteenth
century dried toad was seriously con-
sidered a specific against the plague.
In an article In the New York Med
zeal Journal DR.. William Renwick
Riddell Of Toronto, Canada, mentioned
q Few of the remedies in vogue.
A plaster made Of arsenic was an
piled TO cancers. Bleeding was prac-
ticed on all occasions, even in the
time OF u grandparents. But the
sovereign remedy of all was known
as mithridatium or theriaca. This was
the great antidote of Roman phar-
macy. 1t originally had 40 or so in
gradients, all vegetables, but Nero's
physician, AndromachuS, added the
flesh OF vipers. Every physician had
his w variation Of the formula. and
Matteoli In the sixteenth century put
no less than 100 ingredients into it.
n name theriaca or theriac, un-
der which it was commonly known,
was derived from the Greek "therion,"
a Wild beast, a the stuff was consid-
cred a specific against the poisonous
bites OF beasts and serpents. The
French word "theriaQue" was corrupt
ed into the English ~"treacle," and the
medicine was known in England as
venice %treacle." 1t was the famous
Sydenham who first opposed the use
OF drugs. In fact when Sir Richard
Blackmore asked him for a good guide
In practice, he replied: Don Quixote,"
and declared that the arrival Of a good
clown would do more for the health
OF a city than that Of 20 asses laden
with drugs.
