days here with her uncle, Z. B. Reid.
Tonght and tomorrow partly

Mrs. J. Whitten of Little Rock,

home when his chair slipped and he

Mrs. Charles E. Hipolite returned

The newspaper fraternity through
out Arkansas will be touched deeply
by news of the death of J. Allen Tre
vathan, business manager of the
Batesville Guard, who passed away;
at his home in Batesville this morn- i
ing at 1 o’clock, following a brief ill- j
ness of pneumonia. In the death of
Mr. Trevathan the editor of the In
dependent loses one of the best and
truest friends he ever had. A wife
and three small children survive Mr.(
Trevathan, and to them will be ex
tended the profound sympathy of a
large circle of friends.
The County nurse is having very
busy days. She has about 25 fami
llies on her list whom she is visiting
and averages 12 cases daily—most of
these influenza. The Newport School
Board very wisely decided to take
this epidemic in hand before it got
a start in the city schools. Upon
their request, the president of the
city Board of Health, Dr. E. L. Wat
son, with Mrs. Spitzer, the nurse,
made an examination of the Walnut
Street High school, finding five
cases, including the jainitor. The
nurse is proving her value to the
community every day. She is ar
ranging to begin her classes in
Icmecare of the Sick and Element
ary Hygiene this week, due notice of
which will be given later.
The workers in Surgical Dressings

rooms have had a long vacation. We

time, we are asked for six pneumonia
jackets, six abdominal bandages, one
infants’ layette, six nightingales, be
sides other dressings, special and
standard, that are in daily use by
our own Red Cross work here at
home. All workers who are free
from colds or have not cases of in
fluenza, are asked to come and help
with this work this week. The lay
ette and nightingales will furnish
work for the sewing department.

marriage ceremony, in the presence
of members of the family and a few
intimate friends of the family. Mr
t Lindsey is a prosperous farmer o1
Altheimer, and with his bride lefl

the newly prepared home which was

her marriage to one of Altheimer s
splendid young men, and who, by the
way, is a cousin to our Mr. I. D.
Price and Mr. Lindsey’s farm is the
old home place of Mr. Price.
LATE FROST WILL
PROVE BENEFICIAL.
Weather prognosticators whc
claim to have the proper dope in re
gard to the matter, say there is go
ing to a late fall. If their pre
dictions prove true, it will be to th<
material benefit of the cotton plan
ters of North Arkansas, especially
those living in the river bottom sec
tions, where the cotton plant is still
erreen, and maturing young bolls put
on recently, that under ordinary
weather conditions would be caught
to her home at Cotton Plant trom a
Memphis hospital several days ago,
and is receiving every attention by
her fmaily and physicians and is bet
ter satisfied to be at home with her
friends.
A telephone message this morning
to Mrs. R. D. Brown notified her ot
the death of her brother, Richard
Kitchens, in France. The young
man was in the United States army
and was sent to France several
months ago and his death from pneu
monia is a distinct blow to his many
friends here. His parents, Mr. and
Mrs. F. F. Kitchens at Helena were
notified of their son’s death and they
in turn called Mrs. Brown over the
phone this morning.
On learning this morning of the
appointment by the government of
Ailhur F. Bailey as cashier of the
Federal Reserve Bank at Little Rock,
Newport certainly felt proud of the
fact. Mr. Bailey has been an exam
iner of the State Banking Depart
ment for five years and has made
good in every department and the
honor conferred by the governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank at St.
Louis, was justly deserved.

The per cent of this unmatured crop

have the good fortune to secure this
additional ten per cent in this year’s

in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.
Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent, j
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci
tated by illness.
/ If we all would practice Inside-bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will bum bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day’s
accumulation of Indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten
ing and purifying the entire alimer
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the*morning inside-bath. A ouarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen
ing effect upon the Bystem.
