Big Wind and Rain Storm.

A caller Tuesday was Mr.. H. l.
Giles. Of the Emma community. who
also spent Monday iii Benton, we think.
Anyway, Ar. Giles said that since he
left home report Of q big storm in his
section Monday afternoon had reached
him. Mr.. Jud Logan, who started to
Benton, by way Of Plain Dealing, In q
wagon Tuesday couldn't make 1t
through on account of fallen timber
across the public road. He returned
home and nMde second start, this
time horseback, and finally reached
Plain Dealing and came On here. The
impression ut the time this is written
is that a very hard rain accompanied
the wind storm.

Tobacco Hearts Among Women

An examining medical officer of the North
British and Mercantile Insurance Company de-
clared that surprisingly large number of women
had been refused insurance because of tobacco
hearts" The proportion of women with this
malady was greater than that of men, he said
when one took into account the fact that nine
out Of ten men smoke as against five out Of
ten women.
So firm hold had the cigarette habit OBJ
tanned on English women, that insurance com
panies made one Of their chief questions TO
female applicants: What is your daily habit
