WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness-those sharp pains when bending or lifting, make work a burden and rest impos- sible. Don't be handicapped by bad back-look to your kidneys. You will make no mistake by following this Nashville residents example.
 Mrs. c. G. Letcher, 51S Washington St., Nashville, Ark, says: "I was badly crippled with rheumatic pains through my limbs and hips. Every change of the weather made me worse and I couldn't lie flat on my back, was so sore and lame. A friend sug- gested Doan's Kidney Pills and on taking the advice and using one box, I was able to get around and also lie in bed comfortably. Two boxes of Doan's cured me entirely and I bave- n't had any trouble since" Price 60c at all dealers.

REF0R2s WAVE $ SWEEP iNG LEGISLATURE
Measure Introduced Into Arkansas Assembly W0u.d Segregate
 Public BatlerS.

Little Rock, Feb. 12-A reform wave" which has been seething around
 outskirts of tae Arkansas state
 legislature today swept the house
 with the irtroduction of bill which
 would prohibit any person, male or female, from appearing in public for tEe purpose of bathing in any bathing suit which strikes above the knees, be-
 lew the hollow of the neck and the sleeves of which do not come we'll down over the shoulders.
 The bill further provides that the suit shall be made of sufficient ma terial to be opaque and that any per- , son not dressed in accordance with the provisions of the measure shall be deemed guilty of the crime of inde
 cency and upon conviction shall be 1 fined not less than $50 or nor more than $10O.
 That the measure was intended ser iously was demonstrated when mo- ton was offered that it be referred to tEe committee on natural resources. " | A second motion was offered to refer lit to a committee on Legislative freaks" but sub-motion, offered by Representative Harp, author of the i bill that the measure be referred to the judiciary committee as lone of the most important bills introduced deal hing with the morals of the state" was passed by an overwhelming majority. The bill entitled Ian act to prohi- bit male and female persons from bathing together in Arkansas was jprefaced as follows:
 Whereas moral decency requires jthat sufficient clothing be worn to protect the human body from vulgar Iand obscene appearance, and.
 Whereas clothing is worn in suf- |ficient quantities by all moral and modest thinking people for personal 'adornment, protection to the person land to hide from vision the unsightly portions of the body, and,
 Whereas many people, both young and old, male and female, appear in public on the river bank at bathing pools and even on the highways of this state in half-clad conditions"
 Continuing, the bill declares that such practice has demoralizing ef- feet "and such shameful attire leads to no good"

BONES OF ANCIENT ANIMAL
Nashville Man Says He Has Skeleton
 of PiesiOsaurian Reptile.

Little Rock, Feb. 11.-Wm. Sanger of Nashville has sent to the Gazette the fossil vertebra of large animal In an accompanying letter, he says the fossil is one of number owned by him in the southern part of Howard county. The others were presented to the. Smithsonian Institution in Wash ington, D. C., and there were identified remains of "a large plesiosaurian reptile" according to an article in the Nashville News of February 17, 1917.
 Despite this statement from so au- Ihoritative source, ametuer palaen- clogists of Little Rock are not wholly tisfied that MT. Sanger's find came m the backbone of a plesiosaurus. az to the peculiar geologic history rkansas, they say, the various
 lizards which flourished during
 Aptilian Age have left few if any
 of their existence here.

The state is assured Of the passage of a severance tax bill, which is long step in the right direction. It is claim ed that it will relieve the public schools of the state and that the rais- ing of the school tax limit will net be required. We have no figures to indicate what the proposed severance tax measure will produce in the way of revenue, but it is the most promis- ing legislation that probably will be enacted by this legislature. Schools over the state should not take this relief to mean that they may increase their present expenditures, but they may hope to maintain their present standards, and 1aise them only when the income seems to justify.

When the advocates of Sunday base ball opened up in the senate they did not reckon on what they were starting in the house, which came back with a bill preventing the playing of every thing from bas eball to marbles on Sum- day.

Centinary Work in Arkansas

Calling attention to the fact that the church at Centerton, Arkansas, which, ] in a recent issue of the Country Gentleman was featured as al un- usually successful rural church.
 A product of the Centenary Move ment, Dr. James Thomas, director of the Methodist Centenary in Arkansas, says that few people realize whl- great part the centenary is playing lin the religious development of rural communities in the South.
 "In the past 15 years 10 per cen5 O the country churches have closed their |doors, and how to reopen these doors lis one of the big problems Of Metho- Idism In the community where rural church work is carried or, a suTyev lis made Of conditions, the cause of failure the possibilities, and forces at hand which may be used. Community gatherings are held, where good speak CTS and workers are heard, and 2 real live program of work to be undertaken is discussed. Schools of extension work are held each year and the prob lens of the country church are studied and pastors and leaders are trained Seventeen of such schools are sche- duled this year"
 Tn this one phase of the home pro- gram, scores of churches have been reopened and set going with a real purpose and program Numerous weak churches have been strengthen ed, receiving a new vision of what the church may mean as a community cen ter. The Church at Centerton is one of these"
 The names of notable speakers who are to occupy Arkansas pulpits next month in the interest of the Centen- ary Movement will be announced in the near future, says Dr. Thomas.
 Methodist Missions must have $4,- 000,000.00 by May, 1923, or face cer- tain disaster, says Dr. James Thomas, director for the Methodist Centenary Movement in Arkansas, in commenting on the coming Centenary Campaign" Missionary expansion in foreign fields was undertaken on the strength Of the Churches pledge of $54, 900, ,000.00. Part of this pledge is now past due, and unless collections can be made immediately the work so successfully started as the result of the centenary movement largely must be abandon ed."
 The forward movement in foreign missions is, however, not the only re- suit of the Centenary Movement; ac- cording to Dr. Thomas. Following this movement, more ministers have entered the conferences, and more young people have pledged themselves for life service than has ever been known. There has been a 100000 net increase in the Sunday School, and 100 per cent increase in the Epworth Leagues"
 All the energies of the Methodist church are, within the next few months to be bent on the raising of past due pledges, pr. Thomas says, the Bishops having officially declared that this is the primary and major task of the church at this time.

Those preachers who are trying to scrap the bible and gaining lot of cheap notoriety by preaching heresy and new thought would be more con- sistent if they would get out of the pulpit and stay out. Most people are drawn to the church on account of a very old truth and not by the latest scientific theory.
