Don’t Be a Mushroom.
In the October American Mag
azine William Johnston says
that it is probably your own
fault if you a,re all the time
catching colds or having indiges
tion or headaches. He goes on
'to say:
“Nature intends every human
being to be strong and well.
Most disease is either ignorance
or carelessness. Babies—even
the babies of sickly, ignorant, in
competent parents—are given a
pretty good start by Nature. If
.Children get sickly, it nearly al
ways is the fault of the person
taking care of them. If when
they grow up they remain un
healthy, it is largely their own
fault.
“ ‘But.’ you protest, “I can’t
help it if I inherit a weak stom
ach.’ Oh, yes, you can.
“Did you ever systematically
&tudy your stomach? If you
were going to be a lawyer, you
would study law. If you were
going to be a stenographer you
would study shorthand. If you
are going to be healthy, study
health.
Most people know more about
the care of their clothes than
they do about the care of their \
health. Study your diet. Find
out what the effects of the va
rious foods are. Ask yourself if
you are getting enough exercise.
Keep tab until you find out what
it is that disagrees with you.
Leave strictly alone the food—
and drinks—that your stomach
scolds you about.
“Make up your mind to be heal
thy. Go to the three best doc
tors, the three that nature has
provided free for everybody—
Fresh Air, Fresh Water, and
Sunlight. Get as much of all
three whenever you can.
“A mushroom can live in a cel
lar, but don’t be a mushroom.
“If you eat right, drink lots of
water, sleep in fresh air and get
out in the sunshine you’ll soon
forget to be sick.
“And perfect health is a long
stride toward perfect happi
ness.”

Dr. Miles* Heart Remedy
luccessful Merchant After Investigation
Found a Remedy That Re
stored His Health.
**Thls is Thanksgiving day in th#
gate of Pennsylvania, and I want to
devote a part of
it in writing a
letter to you.
On the 26th day
of November, '10,
I was stricken
with heart
trouble. My
family physician
called it Angina
Pectoris. X had
frsnj one to five
attacks in 24
hours, in the
latter part of
December, 1910.
I wrote to the
Miles Medical Co., tor Information con
cerning my case, and In reply I received
a very kind and instructive letter,
which I handed to my family doctor,
and he told me to use your Remedies
in connection with the medicine he
gave me. so I did. I used five bottles
of Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy and seven
bottles of Dr. Miles’ Nervine. I was
confined to the house for about four
months. The action of my heart is
now, and has been normal for the last
six months. I can truly recommend
Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart Remedy
to do what they are intended for, if
used according to directions. I thank
you kindly for your advice in answer to
my monthly reports. I am now sixty
seven years of age, have been in the
mercantile business for thirty-five years
„nd lived retired for the last thirteen
years.” A. B. HOI.IJNGER,

Meat Dealers’ Association and j
the National Poultry, Butter and
Eggs Association, met separate- j
ly, but their programs were re- J
lated and they chose the same
convention date because of their
community of interest.
The butter and egg men have
as their prime object a unifica
tion of standards of classifica
ting poultry, butter and eggs.
At the refrigeration conven
tion J. M. Bottemanne told the
delegates how to tell good fish
from bad.
The criteria are: Good fish,
skin is shiny, scales strongly ad
here to the skin; eyes transpa
rent and bulging; gills bright
red; flesh elastic and firm; fin
ger impressions do not remain;
mouth and gills nearly always
closed; little or no slime on the
skin; muscular stiffness evident
to greater or less degree; sinks
in water; after short time fishy
smell and slime on back appears.
Meets Pathfinder.
Forrest City, Sept. 22.—Dr. J. (
O. Rush, president of the Cross
State Highway Association of
this city, left at 2 o’clock this af
ternoon for Brinkley to meet the
pathfinder of the Southern Na
tional Highway, A. L. West
gaard, and party, who had wired
him from Little Rock that he ex
pected to reach the St. Francis
county line between 4 and 5
o’clock this afternoon, and it was
thought the party would reach
this city for supper.
Up to a late hour tonight, how
ever, the party had not arrived,
which has led local autoists to
conclude that the logging party
has decided to spend the night in
Brinkley. The Forrest City Au
tomobile Association has arrang
ed a reception and feed for the
ocean to ocean party, on thier
i arrival in this city, and it is als^>
planned to have three or four
machines of this city pilot the
strangers through the St. Fran
cis Valley to Memphis. Included
in the local party will be Dr.
Rush and family, S. P. McDaniel
and Senator F- W. DeRossit. In
speaking of the trip tonight,
Price McDaniel said he did not
anticipate any trouble in being
able to land the logging party in
Bluff City Tuesday evening for
supper if they reached Forrest
City by 8 o’clock in the morning.

Cotton Men Meet.
Little Rock, Sept. 22.—An im
portant meeting as affecting cot
ton interests took place this af
ternoon af the Board of Trade
presided over by A. E. White,
secretary of the Arkansas Cot
ton Association. The questions
considered were the penalty of
$1 per bale prescribed by ocean
carriers when bales do not con
form to the regulation gin box
size, the guaranteeing of weights
on sale of cotton and the paying
of exchange.
Regarding the first proposition
it was maintained that the car
riers meant only what they said
that bales must be ginned in reg
ulation box and penalty could not
apply on account of expansion.!
The attitude of the Board of i
Trade against buying when
weights are not guaranteed and
from paying exchange were both
reaffirmed.
Compress representatives, gin
ners and buyers attended the
meeting from Little Rock and
other points.
Blackbirds Protected by Law.
Does anybody know that by
killing a blackbird one is liable !
under the federal law for fine of!
$400? Better hammer on the
side of the house with a stick the
next time you want to scare
away the blackbirds that roost
in the trees.
W. R. Banks tells the Lamar
Democrat that it is of import

blackbird, under the recent fed
eral game law in $400.
“This lawprescribes this fine/’
Mr. Blank says, “as the least
punishment for killing any in
sectivorous or partially insectiv
orous bird, upon which no open
season is mentioned in the text
of the act. The blackbird comes
within this classification. I be
lieve too, that the law is a good
one. It is quite a nuisance to
have the blackbirds roost near
your house, but we must cease to
kill our birds or this country will
simply be devoured by noxious
worms and bugs. This law will
probably be disregarded until a
deputy marshal drops down and
hauls somebody into the federal
court.”
Finally.
Mrs. Wayupp—“So they have just
had their first quarrel?” Mrs. Blase—
“Yes. After fifteen years of married
life they have just discovered that
they belong to opposite churches ”—
