TO ENJOIN REFERENDUM.
The Arkansas Light & Power Co..,
of Arkadelphia, yesterday filed a suit
in the chancery court asking that
Tom J. Terral, as secretary of state,
be enjoined from certifying to the
election commissioners olf Clark
county petitions of citizens of Arka
delphia, asking that a vote be taken
on the first Tuesday in April on the
question of the company increasing
rates for water and ei’ectricity. The
light and power company alleges that
it entered into a contract with the
city council of Arkadelphia to in
crease its rates during the period of
the war, and that petitions asking
for a referendum of the ordinance
have been filed with the secretary of
state with a view of having its con
tract with the city set aside.
UNCLE SAM BUTTIN’ IN.
Uncle Sam is becoming a very im
portant factor in the film industry.
The output of war pictures, or
pictures that have a direct bear
ing upon the war, is constantly on
the increase. At the present time the
Division of Films, of the Committee
on Public Information, has two im
portant feature pictures that are be
ing offered to the public. “America’s
Answer” and “Pershing’s Crusaders,”
both tell the story of America’s par
ticipation in the World War. “Amer
ica’s Answer,” which has been shown
in the larger cities under the imme
diate direction of the government,
will be released to the smaller mo
tion picture houses on October 28,
and the demand for it has, it is an
nounced, been phenomenal.

The folowing telegram was re
ceived today by G. A. Hillhouse,
chairman of the Jackson County Lib

man Compton of St. Louis.
“Germany has made us a gold
brick peace offer. The great drive
for the dollar is slackening. It is a
German propaganda. It shall not
win. Our boys in France, now en
gaged in this tremendous offensive
are wondering what is the trouble at
home. We must not discourage them
or encourage our enemy. A knock
out blow with dollars is necessary.
Any county that fails takes away
\ fighting efficiency from its soldier!
ijoys. We must raise our entire quo
ta this week and every county must
go oYer the top. Think of being able
to wire across the seas to our two
million boys this great news. Do it
quickly and wire the glad news here.

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.
1 _
| Sanitary science has of late made
i rapid strides with results that are of
1 untold blessing to humanity. The lat
; est application of its untiring research
, is the recommendation that it is as
: necessary to attend to internal sanita
tion of the drainage system of the hu
; man body as it is to the drains of the
; house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys
tem each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom
ach, liver and bowels the previous
day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
! breakfast. While you are enjoying
i your breakfast the phosphated hot
1 water is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
1 ered with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness;
; others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but Is suffi
i cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal san
, itatlou.
