iagALLEN' JOHNSON
OF U. S. NAVY DEAD.
Lee Allen Johnson, aged 23 years,
of the Grubbs section of our county,
died at the naval training station at
Norfolk, Virginia last Thursday, the
81st day of October, and the remains
were brought to Newport for burial,
reaching here Sunday morning, the
burial taking place in the afternoon.
The deceased volunteered in the navy
several months ago and has made
several trips across to France, being
on-one'of the transports. A peculiar
^feature was that this young man and
bis younger brother were in the na
val service, but neither knew where
the other was, and by almost a mira
cle the two brothers met in service on
the coasf and were thrown together
on the same ship during three trips
across, until death from the terribl
epidemic, separated them. The body
was brought from Norfolk and buried
at Walnut Grove and the flag of his
country in whose service he died, was

ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can’t help but look
better and feel better
after an Inside bath.
To look one’s best and feel one’s best
! is to enjoy an Inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre
vious day’s waste, sour fermentations
and poisonous toxins before it is ab
| sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a cer
tain amount of incombustible material
: in the form of ashes, so the food arts
drink taken each clay leave In the ali
mentary organs a certain amount oi
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then s.ucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
leaithy bloom In your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot. water with 8
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid com
plexion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breatli, others wdio are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos
phated hot v.'atcr drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results In
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation Is vastly more im
portant than outside cleanliness, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
Impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

able efforts Arkansas citizens have
made in their determined campaign
to reduce the great slaughter of dumb
brutes on the rail highways.
The Arkansas campaign ha3 not

of conserving these resources, but the
crusade ha3 been carried to the rail

have been impressed witth the mpor

CAMP PIKE NEWS LETTER.
In spite of the deadly flu which
took something over 300 victims at
Camp Pike out of some 13,500 cases,
religious and physical work done by
Y men showed substantial gains in in
terest, during October. The soldiers
were quick to recover their spirits
and for weeks before the quarantine
was raised they were showing inter
est in sports. Numbers of men en
gaged in practice of volley ball, town
ball, soccer football, football and bas
ket ball and teams -were organized
and equipped in all parts of the
camp. Religious work, especially
that.done by individual conttact and
sick visits, showed a remarkable gain
and perhaps Camp Pike Y workers
will lead the Army Y men of the
country in personal work done. The
information bureau was one of the
largest factors for service and the
work of the men at the Base Hospital
and in infirmaries and sick barracks
was notably excellent.
MRS. AUGUSTA J. LYNCH.
It is with general regret that our
people learned of the death of Mrs.
Augusta J. Lynch of Cotton Plant,
which occurred at her home there
I this morning at 2 o’clock from an ill
ness of several weeks. The funeral
. will be held at the home at Cotton
’ Plant Tuesday afternoon at 2:30, con
! ducted by he'r pastor, Rev. Mr. Mar
i Yosip of the Presbyterian church.
The deceased is one of the most es
, timable ladies in this section of the
state, loved by our people who held
her in high esteem and always en
joyed her visits to her daughter in our
city. In her home town she was lov
ed by her many friends who never
forgot the cordial welcome they
received, and the needy in her midst
have lost a friend indeed. She was
ever faithful to her church, support
ing it liberally and with personal
work, that too will feel her loss.
The three daughters, Mrs. Chas. Hip
olitt of our city, Mrs. Eugene S'kil
lern and Mrs. Ross Mathis of Cotton
Plant, have been continually at their
mother’s bedside from the beginning
of her illness and to them is ex
tended the sincere sympathy of their
many friends in Newport, in the
great loss of their mother, the last
tie that binds them to their old home.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED,
by local applications, as they cannol
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamec
condition of the mucous lining of tht
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sounc
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult. Unless the inflammation car
be reduced and this tube restored t(
its normal condition, hearing will b<
destroyed forever. Many cases o1
deafness are caused by catarrh, whicl
is an inflamed condition of the mu
eous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
cine acts through the blood on th<
mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Hail’s Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. A1
