Warsaw.-General Petlura's Ukrain-
ian government, which, despite Its
amazing weakness. remains the near
est approach to organized authority
that exists between the East Galician
frontier and the Dnieper. has sent Its
minister Of public works, Mr.. Bezalko,
to Warsaw to appeal for assistance IN
fighting the incredible typhus condi-
tions in the Petlura country. He re-
ports that 10000 men, the remnants OF
Petlura's Ukrainlan force, have been
stricken with the disease and that the
10000 men of the East Galician army.
commanded by Pavlenko, who from
time to time have co-operated with
Petlura, are in an almost equally bad
plight. About half the cases have
proved fatal.
Hands Are Occupied.
1t is virtually certain that the Poles
will not be able to give assistance to
the Ukrainians because their hands
are more than occupied in combating
the spread Of the disease in Poland.
There Is some typhus in Warsaw
5000 cases perhaps; Dvinsk. recently

The American typhus commission,
which, with 5000 men and 75O officers,
came here last summer to prepare to
combat the disease this winter, has

proved insufficient. Several officers
and men of the commission have died.
including a colonel who was In charge
Of the work at Tarnopol. So there is
small prospect that Petlura can find
any help here.
Reliable reports indicate that soviet
Russia is being devastated by the dis
ease. In. the recent exchange of pris.
oners between the Poles and the Dol
sheviki, there arrived here a Doctor
Czechowitz, who over year ago was
impressed into the bolshevik service
as a sanitary expert and assigned to
the work Of dealing with typhus. He
says that In March of last year there
were 100000 known cases Of typhus
in bolshevik Russia and that condi-
tions this year are worse than last
year. He estimates that there are
now at least 100000 cases in Russia.
The soviet government has almost no
facilities for controlling the disease
and comparatively few physicians are

HOW DOCTORS
 <. TREAT COLDS ! @ AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea
 less, Safe and Sure.


 Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and infu- enza can be depended upon for full eff fcctiveness until the liver is made thor oughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausea less calomel tablets called Calotabs. which are free from the siekening and weakening effects of the old style calo mel. Doctors also point out the fact that m active liver may go long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en- abIing the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu- monia.
 Oae Calotab on the tongue at bed time with swallow of water-that : all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for break fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in original sealed packages, price thirty five cents. Your money will be cheer fully refunded if you do not find them delightful.-(Adv.)

ONE CROP FARMER IS
 LIN A BAD SITUATION

Arkansas farmers who followed the advice of county farm agents in adopting systems of diversified farming and crop rotation last year are in much better financial circum- stances and more able to hold their cotton crop than those who fol- lowed the one crop system as IS evidenced by report from County Agent S. T. Button of Union coun- ty. MT. Button says:
 ''We have interviewed 62 farm CTS who have co-operated with the county agent in adopting a system of diversification and crop rotation. We have found that only five of the 62 owe for supplies or running ex- penses of the year. Fifty have stor- ed their cotton at home, where 1t will be kept dry and they say they can hold it indefinitely. Five grow no cotton at all, owe nothing and have comfortable, well improved homes. Only one of the 62 said that he would have to buy feed be- fore the crop is harvested next year.
 "We interviewed 55 farmers who have shown no interest in diversi- fled farming. It is difficult to get information from these. They have depended almost entirely upon cot ton. Out of 55 interviewed, 41 owe for supplies used in making the crop. Twenty say that they will not pay out, 35 will have to buy feed before the next crop is harvested, and 2S have sold their cotton. All are dissatisfied and many say they will quit farming"

THE FAMOUS LUCK"

z After an ownership of 460 years, the stately mansion and estates of Eden Hall, Cumberland, are to pass from the Musgarve family. Sir Richard Musgrave has not lived at Eden Hall for about 20 years and nearly two years ago it was stated that he had decided to sell the an- cestral home, following the disposal of the manors of Kirk Oswald and Lazonby, in Cumberland, Musgrave and Kirby Stephen, in Westmore- land, and some of the estates Tn County Durham. Legal difficulties arose, but chancery permission now has been given to the breaking of the entail, thus clearing the way for the sale. The house was built about two centuries ago by Sil Phillip Musgrave, and stands in a beautiful situation on the banks of the Eden and Eamont near theil confluence. The estate which vii Come into the market comprises vir tually the whole of the parish oi Eden hall, with a portion of the ad joining parish of Langwathby.
 Sentimental interest chiefly at taehes to the proposed change b! reason of the famous Luck of Elder Hall, which has for centuries beel associated with north country tradi tions. The Luck" is a goblet O Venetian glass, reputed to be O the early 14th century, and believ ed to have been for a period use' for sscramental purposes. The le gend is that one night when tn eanasrhal of the MusgraVeS wen across the lawn to St. Cuthbert' We'll he surprised a party of fairie dancing around the frail glass yes sel, which he secured and refused t. return. Thereupon the queen o the fairies repeated the well-knowl prophecy: n
 If e'er Shis cup shall break or fall
 Farewell the luck of Eden Hall.
 The luck has been carefully guard cd for several centuries.

Married Nine Times;
 Would Do It Again

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Dec. 4,-Hid- den away in the foothills of the Ozarks, 15 miles north of Poriar Bluff, has been discovered the, most married man" in Missouri, or who might be termed the Nat Goodwin of the Ozark Mountains" He has been a resident in this section Tor years, but only recently has the fact been known to the public that he had ventured into the matrimonial ranks nine times.
 This man is William l.. Tillman, who has just passed his 18th year. He was born in Wilks county, North Carolina, October 11th, 1S42, and was mustered into the Federal army just twenty years to a day after hls birth. He served in the army during the Civil War and took part in many important battles. He fought with Regiment no. Company G, Illinois Infantry.
 Tillman has always been a great believer in marriage. He was mar ried first to Miss Rachel c. Lowry on August 9th, 1865, when he was 23. This wife was his age. She died in January, 1875.
 His second marriage was to Mary c. Canady in October, 1875, and she died in 1879. She was one year younger than himself.
 On January IA, 1881, he was mar ried to Miss Alkaline Cavander,, two years younger than himself. She died in July 1895. Margaret Parker was his fourth wife. They were married in August 1896. Five years later he obtained divorce from her, but refused to give his reasons, merely saying that has marriage was "very unpleas- ant"
 The fifth wife was Mamie Shan non, 19 years old at the time of their marriage, in January 1902 She was divorced in 1903. The differ ence in their ages, TiIlman believes, was the cause of the marriage not proving satisfactory.
 In December of the same year, | Tillman took unto himself the sixth wife. Mrs. Sophia T. Higgins, with whom he lived until August 30th, 1910, when she died. This wife thought so much of Tillamn that she left him a farm and much other property. She was 12 years his senior, being 73 and he 61 at the date of their marriage.
 The seventh wife was Mrs. liar riett Ray, to whom he was married lin July, 1911. This wife had sev- eral children before their marriage by former union, and Tillman ex- plained that these children made life "very miserable" for him, and he speedily obtained a divorce, which was granted in September, 1912. We could not get along together with those children always making trouble" he said.
 In February, 1915, he was mar ried for the eighth time to Mrs. Alice Witt, who died in November, 1916, she was five years his junior.
 On September IT, 1918, he was married for the 9th time to Mrs. Sarah Tune, with whom he now lives. She is 76.
 A very peculiar incident in the interview with Tillman was that he had forgotten the name of one of his wives, and to secure this in- formation it was necessary to in- quire of one of his three children who reside in the same neighbor- hood, concerning the identity of this better half. Some neighbors said

prescribed calomel for every dis order and decayed teeth, inflamed eyes, spongy gums and shattered health are the universal conse- quence."
 Farther on in his narrative he writes, "Pawpaw trees are very nu- merous. The fruit is not to my taste but a distiller of the neigh borhood tried it's qualities and ex- tracted such superior spirit from it, that he declared he would not sell drop of it but keep it all for his own drinking "-Historiani of L'Anguille Chapter, D.

that Tillman was married on two other occasions, but this he denied, declaring that he ought to be able to remember how many times he has entered the ranks of the benedict, l even though he coud1't remember 1 the sirnames.
 !! Tillman has always, with one ex- ception, chosen a wife near his own age, declaring he believed this best. The one venture which he made with ] younger wife proved to be "un- satisfactory. ''I think man should 1 choose a wife nearer his own age for success" he remarked.
 When questioned about what kind of a woman makes the best wife, he replied: "This greatly depends on the husband. 1 have always found that an older woman makes the best wife. She is settled and loves her home more. I would never again marry a woman who is young"
 "How is the best way to treat a wife?" he was asked.
 "Never let your attention grow cold and careless. Always treat her like she was baby. Stay with her as much as you can and show her that you love her." he explained.
 Would you get. married again if circumstances would take away your present wife?"
 "I certainly would" he quickly replied.
 "How is the best way to win girl?" he was asked.
 'That depends largely on the girl I have never had much trou- ble winning the girl l wanted for a wife for the reason that l have al ways treated them square. Beauti- ful presents don't count as much as kind heart" he said.
 Tillman is very ardent lover of his present wife, and she of him. He is the finest of husbands" she remarked
 Tillman and his wife are appar- ently in the best of health. "I new CT felt better in my life," he said. With his little farm home and a monthly pension from the govern ment he is we'll fixed for the rest of his life

This and That About Arkansas

This and That About Arkansas
 'The overflow cane-brake land was considered worthless when l lived in Arkansas (1869-72), and at a public sale for taxes at Augusta | bought on venture some elght thousand acres in one body, the price ranging from 12 to l5 cents per acre. The land was the proper tv of ex-President Jefferson Davls and a Mir. Coxe who, l believe, was his brother-in-law. was told in 1908 while on a brief visit to Arkansas that these lands had been sold in recent years for S25.OO per acre. When cane can be used for making paper or for any commercial purpose, the over flow lands of the south will be of great value"
 The above was written by pr. John A. Wyeth, founder of the New York Polyclinic Medical School and Hospital, which was the pioneer organization for post graduate med l teal instruction in America.
 Dr. Wyeth was born in Marshall county, Alabama, served as prl- vate in the 4th Alabama cavalry in the Civil War and after the war worked three years in Arkansas to make money to complete his medl- cal education. In 1872 he built the iail in Augusta and erected some public buildings in Woodruff coun- f ty. In 1S7O-71 he worked a sand 1 stone quarry in Independence coun- 1 ty about fifteen miles from Jack sonport and was a steamboat pilot on the White river parts of lS69- | TO-. It is to Dr. Wyeth's Polyclinc that the doctors of Marianna go for postgraduate work.
 Speaking of doctors, listen to this pleasant narrative of the German hunter, Gerstascher. The time was 1887:
 'I was now in Arkansas. Game seemed to abound Flocks of wild turkeys filled the forests as thick as partridges in Germany and deer was equally plentiful. here IT this solitude I found a family not to be surpassed in worth and ami able qualities in any part of the world. the young wife hao been very unfortunate in Arkansas The doctors had killed three of hel f children and she, herself, was sui fering from inflamed eyes through their ignorance They
