How Many Men Keep
Youthful Looking

1t is we'll known that within recent
years the men have become extensive
patrons of beauty specialists and mas
seurs Not only the fastidious, but
men generally who have care for
personal appearance. This has also
led to the employment by many of
home methods calculated to enhance
or preserve physical attractiveness.
especially by those who abhor beauty
parlors." OF these, perhaps the most
widely used is the mercolized WA
treatment, which explains the mystery
of the silver-haired gentleman with
the fboyish face. The mercolized
wax, obtainable at any drug store. is
applied the same as cold cream, only
not rubbed in. This gradually absorbs
the dead and half~dead cuticle in tiny
particles, revealing the fresher, health
ier-hued skin beneath. To secure
best results many apply the wax at
night, washing it off in the morning.
Women not only encourage husbands
in this, but use the treatment them
selves.
To keep away wrinkles and fabbi-
ness, many men use, after shaving
preferably. a simple lotion made by
dissolving an ounce of powdered saxo-
lite in half-pint of witch hazel This
gives splendid results.

There was a time in Arkansas that the mere fact that man was wealthy, or well to do, that he was a banker or good business man, would have put him out of the running as a candidate for the governOrship. The old theory was that a man could not be this and be a friend to the people. If a big institution had been managed az our state has been run it would long ago have landed in the bankrupt court. The people know this. They were un- doubtedly thinking that it was about time we had a business man for gov ernor. When McRae was accused of being a banker and a successful one, instead of it hurting him it served as a recommendation. This will probab- ly explain the big swing to McRae in the end. The people were looking for a business man to take charge of a great business institution, the state, whose financial affairs, according to di tllP Hllle CdiuludlSS IOI SONeIuOI. . were in bad need of a doctor During the past decade the folks had learned that the banker was just about their best friend. Candidates were using old out of date stun. The people were advancing in twentieth century ideas in government faster than were the politicians. People have learned that a man can be successful and hon. ese and that being a poor man does not necessarily mean that he would be the most competent man to handle a going concern with millions of dol las and d commonwealth s interests at stake. The people took the hint so freely handed them and selected the man who has made the most conspic- ious success in his own business.

No man or woman who eats meat regu. larly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over- worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all 1heumatism, headaches, aver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish 6dneyA

RIVER COUNTIES WOULD
 USE RED FOR FREiGNT Counties Along Red River Would Organize and Get Freight Shipped
 by Water Over the Red.

Texarkana, August F. - Despite that unfayorable reports on surveys by government engineers twice within F wears. the last time in May. have re suited in government abandonment of the nroject, interest in Red River from a navigab!e standpoint has not down. ed and with the recently authorized in- crease in freight rates by the inter state commerce commission, Rcd river counties are starting 0 coordinated campaign to utilize the river as a means of relief from the high rates for the trans port of their crops, par ticularly cotton.
 Plans for the project are outlined in a letter received by the Bowie county court and the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce from Alex W. Acheson, chairman of the river utilization com mittee, Chamber of Commerce, Deni- son, Texas, who urges that local senti- ment be stirred up to point where collaborated action in procuring barge service which will serve all of the river counties in this territory may secure relief to growers from existing high freight rates.
 In his letter, MT. Achison emphasiz- es that there is no question about the river being nayigable at certain sea- sons of the year, and if it can be placed in active competition with rail trans portation. it will, he claims, not only direitly benefit loiaI growers, but those localities back from the river will ship through local warehouses with consequent benefit to the city from a commercial standpoinc.
 He urges that the local chamber consult with the commissioners to see if the plan cannot be given local sup port
 Railways have ceased competition, 5 Mr Achison writes, while on the river, with inland navigation resumed, barges will figure on lower rates with a cons equent enormous saving.
 "The most desirable feature of this movement will be that foreign capital can be prevailed upon to become in vested on the Red river, so that our own people will have to put up noth- ing unless they so desire Boating is business, just like railroading, prac- Barges can be brought up the river just as railroads were, and it is time that we should start after them."

 The whole island has swung upon an axis, the eastern half sinking and the western rising, so that whereas at Hierapetras and Spinalonga the an- eient quays and harbor works are now under water, the little Greek harbor of Phalasarna, at the west end of tho is- land, is now totally upheaved, so that one can walk about on the floor of the ancient harbor, upraised and dry.

The election results in Little River county were returned and compiled more rapidly Tuesday night than ever before. Gathering the news and keep ing the figures in shape for informa- tion is pretty much of job. The re- ports were gathered at the News office, where large crowd remained hearing the returns, some of them all night The force was kept busy all of We'd nesday after the election answering inquiries in the office and over the phone by people in other parts of the county anxious to know the results. While all the vote was not in the first right, there was sufficient to determine the result in all contested county races. The News wishes to thank all those from the various precincts who so promptly phoned the results in, al- so the telephone company for it's good service, and those who assisted the office force in handling the returns Tuesday night. Jackson township, the only remaining box in the county. was able to report Wednesday morn ing. If this precinct was divided up the work would not be so severe on the election officials, and all the re- turns would be in before midnight. The Ashdown vote was divided in three wards and with a separate town ship box, making their work light. even for long ticket.

The general idea that the people had lost interest in politics is explod- ed now. The vote was a big one, even if the prediction talk was not con spicious. Those who observed things about the News office from the time the polls closed until now and saw the the eagerness that the public was for the News were convinced that the interest was greater than ever before. Interest is not indicated by fuss, as maybe it once was, but is manifested by thinking and voting Honest gov ernm ent will be the result of intelli- gent and honest voting.
