Enough said but read further:
We guarantee to give you correct weights, to gin the
cotton clean, give you a fine sample that will command a
premium in price on the market, and to gin it as fast as
you bring it to us. Our capacity is exactly double that of
last season, and there will be do delays and long waiting
now. We employ good men and require them to be care
ful and correct. Our ginner is known to be reliable,
prompt and attentive to business. Having had several
years’experience in the wo^k of ginning cotton, which is
more important and delicate than some think, he under
stands the business thoroughly.
We pay at all times the highest market value for
Seed and Seed Cotton, but our charge for ginning is the
same whether you sell us your seed or not. We assume
all fire risks until your cotton is ginned and turned out on
platform.
At the “Newport Ginnery” everything is clean, neat
and busy. The machinery is all up to date and so ar
ranged to permit of work being carried on at a rate and
accuracy that is possibly surprising. We now authorize
Jackson County to boast of having the finest ginnery in
Arkansas.
We cordially invite visitors to visit our ginnery and
let us show them through. It will be found a revelation
to those remembering how cotton was ginned, and the
time required to gin a bale, in days gone by before the ad

BARBERS’ SHOP DISEASES.
Patrons Advised to Have Their Owm
~ Brush and Comb—Carbolic Acid
for the Razor.
The transference to his cus
tomers, by means of his hands and
instruments, of many parasit
ic skin diseases has long been rec- j
1 ognized as one of the unnecessary
accomplishments of the necessary
barber. Among these affections,
says American Medicine, are
| sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo
pecia and furunculosis that is
more or less chronic in type. Dr.
i Graham Chambers states that !
during the past five years impeti
go circinati has been very prev
alent in Toronto, scarcely a month
passing without an outbreak oij
from two to thirty case9, gener
ally traceable to a common
source. The barber shop is so com
monly the source that he desig
nates the disease as “barbers’ im
petigo.” Quite recently Dr. W
A. Hardaway has called attention
to a point which he believes, and
we think rightly, has been but lit
tle realized by the medical profes
sion. That is the frequency with
which carbuncles are acquired in
barber shops. He has seen many
_ _ m i_■» _ • _ v_ • xi. .
taoca ui vaiuuuuc tu nuiv-u uiu
evidence of this means of trans
mission was to him indisputable.
The relative importance of this se
rious affection as compared with
the other diseases mentioned
needs scarcely to be impressed.
For the prevention of contagion
In barber shops, Hardaway be
lieves that we will be forced to
rely upon an educated publit
opinion rather than upon compul
sory laws directed against the
barber. He recommends that
each patron of a barber shop pro
vide himself with a box, contain
ing his own brush and comb, a
small package of absorbent cot
ton and a five per cent, carbolis
acid solution. The barber will
then wipe his shears or clippers
with the solution, and use the pa
tron’s comb and brush. For the
man who shaves his own soap, cup
and brush are necessities. These
suggestions are sensible. To car
ry them out properly means some
inconvenience, but it is worth
while, especially to the aged and
debilitated, or to those suffering
from diabetes or similar diathe
sis. Physicians atending such pa
tients should extend them a warn
ing in this regard.
ANCIENT DOLL-LIKE IDOLS.
Were Found Imbedded in Walls of
Ancient Cliff Swellings Near
Santa Fe.
While exploring the Puye and
Shufinne cliff dwellings near San
ta Fe recently Dr. R. W. Scheuss
ler discovered some antiques of
a kind not previously catalogued
by students of that region. No
ticing upon the wall of an ancient
dwelling some spots of an unu
sual color, he dug into the soft
stone with his pocketkmfe and
discovered a hole 5 inches in diam
eter and 12 inches deep, partly
filled with mud. Inside was im
bedded a Btick on which was
mounted a doll’s head. In the
same hole was a small, highly pol
ished turquoise.
Dr. Schuessler investigated fur
ther. He found three more of the
sealed openings, each of them
containing a doll and a turquoise.
One of the holes contained a piece
of petrified resin, in which tooth
marks indicated that it had been
used as the chewing gum of the
day. The probability is that the
doll heads were idols, but the sig
nificance of burying them in the
mesa walls and the presence of
lie turquoise are not explained.
In Sunny Florida.
Never shall I forget, writes
Julia Daniels Moseley, in the
Four-Track News, the magic of a
certain garden in the south. iD
sunny Florida. . . . The stars
down there have a way of seem
ing to hang out of the sky, like a
jewel placed high in the setting.
The moon was full and the magic
of her yellow beauty bewitched
everything, enhancing the very
shadows. There is an abandon
about that spot that takes away
the stiffness so often found in
large, formal grounds, and, as you
walk on and on, there seems to be
no end to it, but it is as though all
the world was a sumptuous gar
i den; and when you lift your eyes
. to the matchless night blues, H
seems as if the very dome of Heav
j en had opened to charm you

MONEY IN MAINE SKUWKS
Tk*r Are Worth as Mach aa All thl
Deer Killed la That State
ia a Season.
It will no doubt surprise many peo*
pie who leaxn that the despised skunk
Is worth twice as much to Maine as is
the much-admired honey bee, but such
la the fact; and, counting things at
their actual worth, the skunk is worth
about as much as all the deer killed in
Maine in a season, says the Philadel
phia Record. The skunk is valuabls
both for his fur and for ths oil that is
In him, and both the oil and the fur
are in ever-increasing demand.
Fashiods in furs regulates the pries
of skunk skins. Four years ago ths
coat of a dark skunk was worth $2.50
to thrde dollars, and the demand ex
ceeded the supply. Since then the
muskrat has come into favor, and ths
f>rice of skunk skins has fallen to about
two dollars for the best. When, how
ever, there are a dozen fat skunks ts
be had on every acre of meadow land,
when a hardwood club Is the only
weapon needed for killing them, and
when every fat skunk contains al
least a quart of oil, worth five dollars
a gallon at wholesale, there is monetf
in the business.
Most of the skunk pelts are shipped
to a Philadelphia firm, where they are
made up into furs for export ta
France and Germany, in wheih coun
tries they pass as monkey skins. It il
estimated that Maine’s revenue from
skunks amounts to $150,000 or $175,000
annually, which is double the sum de
rived from all the honey bees in ths
state, and certainly more than all ths
$,000 deer shot are worth to the men
who kill them. From 100,000 to 150,
000 skunks are killed in Maine every
S.11
The demand for oil la steadily In
creasing, and the price has advanced
50 centB to one dollar a gallon within a
year. The natives prize the oil for it*
virtues as a cure for rheumatism and
stiff joints, and large quantities of it
are bought by country traders and sent
to druggists out of the state.
It is estimated that the annual pro
duction of skunk oil in Maine exceed*
25,000 gallons, and the quantity is in
creased by adulteration with the fatty
ells obtained from hens and wood
chucks, a deception which has proved
most profitable to the skunk magnate!
MAKING OF OXYGEN.
tatereatlnsr Proreai Kiowa to Bn*
Few Professional Men and No
Ordinary Mortals.
The manufacture of oxygen—or mors
properly its separation from the atmos
phere we breathe—is an intensely in
teresting process known to but few
professional men and scarcely known
at all by the ordinary mortal, says a
scientific paper. A plant for the manu
facture of oxygen to be used in charg
ing its distilled water was put in opera
tion recently at an ice plant in Los An
geles, Cal.
Oxygenated water is now being pre
scribed by physicians in certain dis
eases, and hence a cheap and simple
method of separating the oxygen in the
atmosphere becomes a matter of im
portance. The process employed oy th«
Los Angeles company is based on th*
principle that a certain chemical com
pound—manganate of soda—readily
parts with the oxygen it contains whev
subjected to the action of a Jet of
steam. A blast of air on the residgum
reforms it into manganate 01 soda, tfili
chemical possessing the peculiar prop
erty of absorbing oxygen from the at
mosphere, parting with it when ex
posed to steam and being reformed
again upon exposure to the air. Th<
process may be continued Indefinitely
when the ingredients are placed in thi
retort and proper connections for ail
and steam made. No more chemical!
are required. It may be likened to dip
ping a sponge In water, squeezing 11
dry, and then repeating the operation
Indefinitely.
Oxygen made by this process. It li
claimed, contains no gas other than oxy
gen and no elements of any descrip
tlon other than slight traces of atm os
pherlc nltrogen|. Hence it requires m
washing to free it from chlorine noi
any purification whatever. The produc
is oxygen—and nothing else. Thi
oxygen, direct from the retorts, li
stored in gasometers, and then forcec
tnto distilled water by means of t
Twitchell carbonating machine, whict
pumps the water and oxygen at thi
same time, thoroughly agitating bott
before bottling. The bottling Is dom
under a pressure of 60 pounds.
New Calculation.
Prof. See has watched the duration o
the blue sky after dark, and found it ti
continue for about an hour and 15 min
utes, and from this he shows that ou
atmosphere extends to a height of full;
130 mile*. Astronomers have usuall:
found the height of the atmosphere t>:
computing the height of the meteors, bu
none have made the height of the atmos
phere over 100 mile*. The study of th
blue color of the sky thus proves alsi
that our atmosphere extends consider
ably higher than scientists have hereto
fore supposed. On our dark days tlv
blue color of the sky is shut out b;
clouds, and combinations of colors du
to reflecting clouds and counties
myriads of particles In the ethereal re
(tons high above the earth give th
bright light which is so much relishei
in daily life.__

could gee that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week I
I was able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and I

Life’s Change.
Much Suffering at
This Critical Period
Saved by Dr. Miles’
Nervine.
"Change of Life'’ is one of woman’*
greatest and most dangerous ttpubles.
Often it is not recognized, and the
distressing symptoms are mistaken for
Dyspepsia, Liver, Womb Trouble, etc.
The depressing constitutional effects
of Change of Life, and the female Dis
orders so common at that period, are
best treated with a general nerve re
storative which will give tone to ths
entire system—Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
The beneficial effects of this celebrated
medicine are very quickly felt, and the
constitutional disturbances tided over.
Pain and anxiety are relieved, and fresh
energy infused into mind and body.
It is the medicine which acts on the
nerves which regulate the organs of the
body.
Such distressing troubles as Backache,
Headache, Bearing-down Pains, Bloat
ing, Indigestion, Menstrual Irregular
ities, Irritability, Dizziness, Loss of
Appetite, Tired Feeling, are relieved and
•tired by Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
"My wife was a sufferer from an at
tack of nervous prostration, brought on
by female weakness, and was in very
poor health. After reading one of Dr.
Miles’ advertisements, she concluded to
try Dr. Miles’ Nervine. She obtained
good results from the start, and now
after taking second bottle enjoys good
health. Words cannot express our ap
preciation of what it has done for us.”—
