bathed her mothers face. Being very
fond Of perfume, she imagined lsa-

GRANGE. She gave a fluff to the soft,
gray hair.
There, galubchill, I've made you
adorable. You feel easy now?'
She stopped and kissed her moth
er's forehead, turning quickly to
shade the lamp. She never looked
very long in her mothers face. The
pasty color of Isabeps cheeks, the
blue line Of her mouth and some
times the rolling of her eyes made
Sandy sick with fright.
Isabel had failed in these months
-pitifully. Even the double chin
that used to be so warm and plump
now sagged and fell away. But she
now said: I'm better since you
came, dear"
"Of course! Else why did I leave
my million dollar job, little one?"
You're going to stay? Stay I'M

"Yes-yes-"
A hundred times in the three
weeks since Sandy's return Isabel
asked this question. Her eyes fol-

full of pleading questions.

seem just as you used to be long
ago just like my baby girl
You feel that way?"

POLITICS
BEGINNING TO STIR

Little Rock, Jan. 25-Thc political
pot Is beginning to simmer. and in a
few weeks will be boiling over. A
number Of interesting contests is prom
ised for the coming campaign, both in
state. district and county Offices
Not the least interesting by any
means is the effort that is being made
in certain quarters to bring out opposi-
tion to Tom ]. Terral for second term
as Governor There have been confer
cnces which apparently have resulted
In nothing definite. Up to the present
time there is only one avowed candi-
date for the Office, Senator Abingdon,
Of White county, who says he is receiv-
ing many expressions of support from
all over the state. Governor Terral
who is n candidate for reelection, says
that he welcomes any opposition and
win meet his opponents on the stump
and give an accounting of his steward
ship to the people. The Governor says
that he stands upon the record of ac-
complishment in his office, and does not
fear the result.
From time to time various men have
been mentioned as probable contenders
for the nomination. State Superin-
tendent A. b. Hill, appeared for some
time to be a probable entry, with the
state textbook controversy as his prin-
cipal issue After matured delibcr-
alton, however, Mr.. Hill has decided
not TO make the race. Former Cover
nor Thos c. McRae, also mentioned,
adheres to his former announcement
that he will not again enter the active
political field. Harry Ponder of Law
renee county, Lee Cazort of johnson
county, ii. NJ Jacoway of Pulaski
county and others have been mention
ed but it does not appear that any of
them will get into the contest. One
who has come to the front recently
with some prominence is Judge John
W. Wade of Little Rock who, IL Is
said, would not be averse to holding
the Office of Governor. He has, how
ever. made no public statement on the
subject. Chancellor John e. Martini
eau, Of Little Rock, runner-up In the
governors race Of 1924, is being men,
toned prominently. as a candidate for

that. he will likely enter the race.

is following his line of procedure with

REPORT OF HEALTH
WORK IN POCAHONTAS

Mrs. II. c. Gibson, field secretary
Of the Arkansas tuberculosis Associa-
tion. has closed twelve weeks work in
the Pocahontas public schools. During
her visits, 1873 children in grades three,
four, five and six played the health
game by sleeping ten hours a day, eat
ing fresh vegetables and fruits, drink
ing milk, exercising in the open air,
washing hands before meals, taking
baths at least twice a week, and Civ
ing particular attention to the care of
the teeth AS part of the game, re-
cords were kept of the health chores
done daily, health scrap books were
made and every child in those grades
now knows that six year molars are
priceless permanent teeth which must
be watched for and protected some
day in their own children.
While Mrs. Gibson may not be able
to visit the local schools again this
year, the Arkansas tuberculosis Asso-
citation has sent the material for con-
tinuing the work and the teachers will
carry forward the health program with
the help Of suggestions from the Asso-
citation while Mrs Gibson herself will
be launching the work in other towns.
This educational program of the Ar
kansas tuberculosis Association is
part of the work in preventing disease
and is supported by the annual sale of
Tuberculosis Christmas Seals.
