Yeast Brings.Hea|th
 When Rundown
Strenuous Life Exhausts Vitality Be- cause Vitamines are Lacking
 Yeast Tablets Supplying Them.

Certain wonderful little elements, called Vitamines, have been found to be absolutely essential to health and vitality; and they must continually be supplied to the impoverished body, just as we fertilize exhausted land, Yet most modern diets, principally made up of meat, potatoes, prepared foods, polished rice, etc, are lacking in vitamines And now the great dis covery has been made that yeast con- tains millions of vitamines. A little yeast added to the average diet causes children to grow more sturdy, checks the signs of old age, and builds up rundown systems. Yeast has also been found to be a splendid remedy for boils, skin troubles, etc.
 The wonder working power of yeast is now common knowledge, proven by hundreds of experiments in great medical institutions. Thousands now take yeast in some form-but it is not enough to take common yeast, which is intended only to aid in making bread. The common yeast case is only a make shift, because it contains about 80 per cent starch and water and only about 20 per cent yeast.
 The liquid yeast of fermentation, concentrated, and combined with iron and other tonic ingredients, is the scientific vitamine treatment Now a new tablet has been worked out by famous chemists, which supplies this special yeast in just the combination to do you the most good This tablet called IRONIZED YEAST, is sold by all druggists, packed in sanitary package convenient to carry in the pocket
 They are pleasant to take and vii not nauseate The tablets cost but 2 fraction more to the dose than com mon yeast, and are much more effect i've. Each package contains 10 days treatment and costs only $l.00-ol only 10c a day. You will notice thu benefits before you have finished you first box. Prevent rundown condition take the yeast road to health. Ge a package of IRONIZED YEAST to day. Special directions in the pack age for children. (Advt.

 According to Dr. Shackford, more than 600 Sunday school workers of the Southern Methodist church en- rolled in the two central schools which recently closed successful sessions, more than 800 credits being issued. Fortyseven of these standard train ing schools have already been held throughout the bounds of the church. from Norfolk, Va, to Berkley, Calf. Fifty or more are yet to be conducted and dates include all of Augu it through December 10.

ALICE CONDUCTOR
 ROBBED TWO MEN

Alleging that he and companion had been high -jacked" and relieved of $50 by the conductor of a freigh- train on which they were riding, a man giving his name as J. F. Farris and his home as Bigelow appeared be- fore Justice of the Peace G. M. Easter wood and had a warrant of arrest issued for Jim Muse, conductor on northbound freight No. 166, which passed through Conway about oclocK yesterday morning. The warrant was served upon Conductor Muse last night when he reached Van Burean and he returned to Conway this morn ing.
 AS soon as he arrived here, Con- ductor Muse went to the court of Justice Easterwood. The prosecuting witnesses could not be located, how ever, and after some delay, Justice Easterwood placed Muse under S1 900 bond until Tuesday. Muse returned this afternoon to Little Rock.
 According to the story told by Far ITS, he and his companion, whose name could not be learned, they had ar ranged with the conductor for ride on the train yesterday morning. After the train passed Mayflower, the con- ductor came up to them, pulled out a revolver and demanded their money. After handing over the $50, Farris sad, the conductor threatened their lives. They very accurately describ- ed Conductor Muse, it was said.
 The disappearance of the prescott ing witnesses this morning throws some douot on the veracity of their story and several people expressed their opinion that the conductor forc- ed the men to get off the train and they had the warrant of arrest issued seeking revenge. Conductor Muse said he could prove an alibi if brought to trial.

EX.CONy|CT HELD
 AGAIN FOR THEFT

Floyd (Bub) Petty, negro, released from the state penitentiary about three months ago, is again in the hands of the law for theft, the crime for which he served a prison term. Petty was arrested by Deputy Con- stable J, A. King, and committed to jail to await arraignment in the court of Justice G. M. Easterwood on Sat urday morning.
 Petty, it is alleged, entered the house of Jack Long and stole prop erty, part of which was recovered by the officers when the negro was arrested. His theft for which he was imprisoned, was of clothing belonging to students on the Hendrix campus.
 Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers and Deputy King are also holding Jack Pearson, thought to be the negro wanted at Hope for the alleged rob- bery and murder of an aged negro watchman at Hope about one year ago. Pearson is in the county jail, and the constable at Hope has been notified. He was expected here this morning to identify the prisoner, but failed to arrive. Pearson formerly was employed by East Brothers in road construction. It was said he admitted partial details of the crime to another negro at the same road camp.

ARMY WORM HITS FAULKNER COTTON
 FOUND ON LITTLE FARM
Uplands are Reporting Increased Damage to Cotton from Boil
 Weevil InfestatiOn.

With reports of increased infesta- ton by the boil weevil in the uplands of Faulkner county there was added today news of the appearance of the army worm. Col J. E. Little this morning received reports from his plantation on the Arkansas river that evidences of army worm infes- tation had been discovered at several widely separated places in his cotton fields.
 If the army worm follows it's us ual course" Mr Little said, lin three weeks there will not be a vestige of foliage on any cotton plant. The army worm, however, can be con- trolled by the application of paris green, but l have decided to do noth- ing to stop their spread. l think they will do no more damage than good, as there is no possible chance with the present weevil infestation for the cotton to make any more fruit, and the removal of the cotton foliage will destroy the food for the weevils and at the same time allow the sun to penetrate through the stalk and ma ture the few grown bolls which are as yet undamaged.
 You cannot state it too strongly that the boil weevil infestation is by far the worst ever known in this country MT. Little continued. T have had reports not only from my own place but from other river lands and from upland, and l do not believe the people realize the extent to which the cotton has been damaged. Many are misled by the present fine appear ance of the plant, and do not stop to examine the stalks, where they would often find two or three and sometimes not even one boll."
 A local merchant and planter to- day sent to cotton reporting orgam- zation report placing the condition of cotton in this county at this date as 40 per cent.
 Farmers from the north and west sections of the county here in the past two days report rapidly increas-
 ing damage by weevils. Several ot them stated their cotton was appar- ently doing nicely and promised a fair yield up to within the past week, when the prospect was completely overturned by boil weevil infestation

GREASE ON SEATS OF PANTS
Difference Between College Rowing Of
Today and Years Ago Told
by Philadelphia.

I'VE wore long, white canvas pants
and we smeared thick grease on the
seat of them" Effingham b. Morris,
president of the Girard Trust company
Of Philadelphia, was speaking in con-
nectIon with the opening Of the Uni
verslty Of Pennsylvania new boat
house along "BOathouse Row."
He told of the difference between
college rowing these days and years
ago.
There were no sliding seats In
those days" said Mr.. Morris, $50 we
did the best we could. We creased
the seats Of the boat, besides the seats
Of our pants. Hip pockets made con-
venlent grease cups.
1--WE were a sight as compared to
your modern crews. Besides the white
pants, we wore blue shirts and straw
hats. On the hats were long stream
ers, which flOated prettily In the
breeze when we got up speed"
