■ ,^be I£ing anti-trust bill, the
\ (refP'Ffcfue a^d veritable King an
trust bill, ti^e original and gen
uine article, Unabridged, una
mended, undiluted and unpur
gated, has been passed by theleg
"* islature and now awaits the sig
nature of Gov. Davis.
The King (Logan) anti-trust
measure was more than a mere
piece of proposed legislation. It
was a psychological enactment
long before it was a legislative
enactment. There is no doubt
that the legislature has carried
out the popular will—or the pop
ular notion.
An Irishman once fell from the
tcp of a seventeen-story building.
As the descending Hibernian
passed the thirteenth story a fel
low workman sang out, “Are
you hurt Pat?”
“Wait!” answered Pat.
ROSE COGHLAN
RIDES A FREIGHT.
Pine Bluff, Jan. 20. — Rose
Coghlan and her company, which
appeared at the Elks Theatre in
this city Thursday night, had a
unique experience in getting to
Pine Bluff. On account of a
wreck their train was delayed,
and in order to fill their date
here the party was compelled to
travel in a box car from Holly
Grove to Clarendon, a distance of
ten miles. The weather was un
pleasantly cold and the trip will
be long remembered. Pine Bluff
was reached in time and a very
^ small audience greeting the com
pany.

THE MUSICAL COTERIE.
Miss Pearl Martin was the
charming hostess of the Musical
Coterie Thursday afternoon.
Roll call was answered by a large
number, some of whom were
present for the first time.
Although the attendance was
full the program was necessarily
limited. Mrs. Robt. Cox read a
well prepared paper on Ruben
stein’s life and Miss Pearl Mar
tin pleased her listeners with a
song well rendered in her usual
gracious way.
The chairman of the year book
committee handed in a report
that showed good work and care
ful planning. There will be a
call meeting next Tuesday after
noon with Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse.
As the rooms will not be in
readiness for the next date of
meeting, Mrs. T. H. Reamey in
vited the Coterie for February 2,
for which date a full program is
made out. Chopin for the in
strumental music and Losti for
the songs.
HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Ninety-nine times out of a hun
dred the spasmodic advertiser,
the man who advertises a little
today, one day next week a good
deal and then none at all for a
long time, is the very fellow who
claims that advertising does not
pay. We have never heard of a
man who advertised thoroughly,
carefully* persistently and regu
larly for a whole year that was
not afterward an advocate of ad
vertising.
Advertise just as you eat—
regularly and in reasonable quan
tity. You don’t wait until you
are starved before you eat, but
you go to your meals at a set
time every day.
One meal after another year
after year makes you grow fat
and keep well. Advertise just
as you drive a nail, not one big
blow and stop forever, but with
reasonable blows, one following
the other. Even if one blow is
hard enough to drive the nail
home, it is likely to go crooked
or split the plank and spoil the
job.
Advertise just as the farmer
plants corn—not a big sackful at
one time in one place, and then
stop, but a few grains at a time
in regular order and in regular
time. In other words, advertise
with business sense just as you
would do anything else. Keep at
it week after week, month after
month; success wiil surely come
by and by.

—'
Mrs. Adah C. Means, 49 Rossville
Ave., Chattanooga, Tenn., says: “My
little son received a severe blow on his
head, causing a “rising” or abscess.
After coming to a head it left a run
ning sore which continued almost a
year. We tried everything we could
but it got worse. We finally tried
Paracamph, and after the first appli
cation the neck and shoulder broke out
into many little sores. I continued
the use of Paracamph and in just two
weeks the sore was entirely healed and
wtr have had no trouble since. I give
all the credit to Paracamph as I only
used about a half bottle. Paracamph
also cures nervous headache as I have
tried it with splendid results.”
Don’t suffer from Neuralgia, Pains
in the Bead, Rheumatism, Old Sores,
Eczema, Toothache, Sore Throat,
Swellings or Inflammations of any
kind. Use Paracamph. Try it to-day.
It is sold on a positive guarantee to
give satisfaction or money refunded.
Keep Paracamph in your home. Rub
It on your sore spots and you will get
instant relief. It absolutely prevents
blood poisoning. Trial size 25c.; fam
ily sizes 50c. and $1.00 at all druggists
or sent direct. If you have never tried
Paracamph we will send you a trial size
free. Write to-day. The Paracamph Co.,

Help for Mothers.; I
Any woman who is suffering disordered ■
menstruation, bearing down pains, nervous- fl
ness, or whose life is made desolate by B
barrenness, can have the same relief Mrs. B
Vincent secured, by taking Wine of Cardui B
in the privacy of her home. No physician's B
treatment necessary. This pure Wine com- B
mends itself to every suffering woman. B
Will you go to your druggist today and B
secure the same relief Mrs. Vincent writes Bj
about? When the stomach, bowels or B
liver are affected, Thedford's Black-Draught should be used. B
WINE or CARDUI I
No. 933 Mission St., San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 9,1908. S
\ 1 am happy and pleased to attest to the value of Wine of Cardui for pro#- gjg
fpective mothers. I took it for three months before my darling baby came and H
I suffered so little pain I felt I was an exception. The child is nappy and ■
healthy and the sunshine of my life. I bad hardly any trouble after she was B
i born, and after eleven days was up doing my entire housework and feeling fej
better than I had felt for years. I am the envy of my neighbors because of the B
unusually healthy child I nave and because I never had a sick day myself. 1 B
give the entire credit to Wine of Cardui, I
for I was sickly, pale and thin before I took J? m
it, but since I have used it I have been in '• m
| perfect health, have gained fourteen Vice-President, fl
pounds and enjoy life as never before. Sonnyside Mother’s’Club Jj
