After this, when you see q man
crying you won't know whether he's
suffering from a tear bomb or a
broken heart.
You won't be able to tell whether
the tears are from his heart or from
the police station.
The chief Of police will organize

When they find anybody crying
they'll wipe away the tears and then
lock him up as a suspicious char

It's getting 30 that we can't even

These bombs which bring tears to

taurant is the most successful tear
bomb we've ever had.
You weep when you read the
menu, cry when you get the check,
and sob when you pay the bill.
Five years ago we were full OF
cheers. Today we're full of tears.
That's why the restaurants give
you such big napkins. You use half
of II for wiping your mouth, and
the other half for wiping your eyes.
No wonder the waiter always closes
his eyes when he gives you the
check. He hates to sec you suffer.
Tears are becoming so popular
that instead of spectacles wen have
to wear marine glasses.
We have Volstead to thank for
this new tear bomb. He wants to
keep as much water in front of our
eyes as possible.

IS CLOSE TO LOST TREASURE? Farmer Strikes Gold and Silver Quartz
 Near Springfield. Mo.

Springfield, Mo, May 26.--While digging for lost treasure along the banks of Wilson Creek, twelve miles southwest of Springfield yesterday, J. c. Hale, a farmer. uncovered large quantity of what geologists have de- clared to be gold and silver bearing quartz. It is believed Hale's find may lead to the discovery of a fabled treasure reputed to have been buried in that vicinity by Spaniards and In- dians in the seventeenth century.
 More than six hundred holes have been dug along Wilson creek in recent years in an attempt to locate this fabled gold, said to have been placed there when the Spanish-Indian settle ment was forced to flee from hostile tribesmen.
 Hale today began digging deeper, and will sink other shafts within a radius of one hundred feet, he said.

MILK BEST FOOD FOR
 HEALTH AND ECONOMY

"Milk is the best food for health and economy" says Miss Gertrude Conant, nutrition specialist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arr kansas.
 Physicians and dietitians agree the milk should be the fundamental food for all children. Increased use of milk for the whole family docs not neces- garily mean an increased amount of money spent for food, as there should be decreased amount spent for pastries and other rich and less di- gestible foods.
 ~The responsibility for the lorna tion of good habits in the child rests on the parents. Among these good habits. the most important in early years are those relating to the physical well being of the child. Hence good food habits should be formed in the earliest days of life.
 The first necessity of forming good habits is regularity of eating. The digestive organs require specific times for rest. When indiscriminate lunch ing is practiced, the digestive organs become worn out and weakened, thus laying the foundation for chronic indi- gestion in adult life.
 s'The second necessity in forming good food habits is the right kind of food. The infant should not be taken to the table and given tastes of high ly favored foods. Such practices ruin the taste of the child for those mild favored foods which are best for him. ]"

CUBA WANTS POULTRY
And Ozark Poultry Yards Will Send Polk County Birds-Who1l Go
 As Nurse.

Polk county chickens are going to have an opportunity to go to for eign cline that quite few Mena men say they would like to visit. Down in Cuba where the Volstead act is non operative, and where the Budweiser flows, there seems to be shortage of chickens of the edible variety to go with the booze. The Ozark Poultry Yards of Mena have been asked to remedy the deficiency, and Manager Ellsworth is arranging to ship a car load of Polk county poultry over to the land of hot weather and hooch. The car will be sent out as soon as enough fowls can be assembled. Auy one desiring to go with the car and act as nurse to the birds en route should see Manager Ellsworth at once. Another carlot shipment of live birds, the second for this week, left Mena Thursday for the New York city market. The car contained nine tons of chickens, five of which were loaded in Mena.

EASY TO GET RID OF FLIES.
Pests Which Endanger Human Life
 Can Be Exterminated.

The danger of the typhoid or house fly in the carriage of disease has been abundantly demonstrated, yet it is al lowed to breed unrestricted all over the United States; it IS allowed to enter freely the houses of the great majority of our people; it is allowed to spread bacteria freely over our food supplies in the markets and in the kitchens and dining rooms in private homes. Even if the typhoid or house fly were creature difficult to destroy, the general failure on the part of communities to make any eff forts whatever to reduce it's numbers could properly be termed criminal neglect; but since it is comparatively an easy matter to do away with the plague of flies, this neglect becomes an evidence of ignorance or of a care essness in regard to disease producing filth, which to the informed mind con stitutes serious blot on civilized methods of life.
 filth We will have house flies. and if We do not allow 1t to accumulate we will have no house flies. With the careful collection of grabage in cans and the removal of the contents at more frequent intervals than ten days. and with the proper regulation of abattoirs, and more particularly with the proper regulation of stables in which horses are kept, the typhoid fly will become a rare species.
 We have shown that the typhoid or house fly may carry typhoid fever. Asiatic cholera, dysentery, cholera morbus and other intestinal diseases: 1t may carry the baccilli of tuberculo- sis and certain eye disease; it is every where present, and it is disposed of with comparative ease. 1t is the duty of every community, thru it's board of health, to spend money in the warfare
