Similar Cases Occur Daily In
This Vicinity.
Not only here in Newport, but
in our neighboring towns, the
same good story is heard. An j
encouraging instance from i
Batesville is given here and will
be read by us with great inter
est.
Rev. F. M. Smith, West Side,
Batesville, Arkansas, says: “I
suffered for a long time from
backache and my health was
becoming all run down. I had
dizzy spells, my sight blurred
and other symptoms of kidney
trouble were present. I was
fortunate enough to hear of
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they
went immediately to the root
of the trouble, restoring me to
the best of health. I have just
as much praise for Doan’s Kid
ney Pills today, as I did when I
previously recommended them.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy

Women Aid City Council.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 24.—The
City Federation of Women’s
Clubs has undertaken to secure
a number of reforms in the city,
and a delegation from the or
ganization appeared last night
before the city council, and
made their appeal for considera
tion.
“We feel the need of curing
evil, by destroying the causes,
instead of waiting to deal with
the finished product of vice,”
says Mrs. Lulu A. Markwell, in
presenting the petition. The
committee consists of Lulu A.
Markwell, Linnie B. Moose, and
Elizabeth Pollock, and the pro
gram is endorsed by Mrs. L. L.
Whiteney, president of the Fed
eration, and the 23 clubs of the
city with a membership of over
eight hundred.
Their recommendations are
as follows:
“Inasmuch as the children of
our city are in constant attend
ance upon the picture shows,
impressions that are given them
during this “morning zone of
life” make lasting impressions
determining the individual char
acter of the adult. When the
environment is unwholesome
during this period, we have ev
ery reason to believe that the re
sult will be a character whose
j i • ii rm _r_
LCI1UCI1U1C5) ClIC Ucttl. 1UC1C1U1C
we would earnestly request the
city authorities, through the
mayor, to give us at least two
women on the board of censors,
said board to censor all films
used in picture shows within the '
city. j
“The number of children and |
young people who go on the
streets at night to find amuse
ment is appalling to those who
realize the traps set for unwary
feet. A peculiar allurement
seems to linger about the
streets, attracting the young of
both sexes. Commercial and
vice syndicates take advantage
of this fact to increase their
profits. To save these children,
we would ask that our city have
a curfew law, regulating the
hours in which children are al
lowed on the streets at night
without the protection of parent
or guardian.
“That our city be provided
with at least two- police women
for the better protection of girls,
both on the streets, in dance
halls and in the picture shows,
where young men often force
their attentions upon young,
untrained, ignorant girls. Only
women can detect and cope with
this side of crime.”
Fire At Walnut Ridge.
Walnut Ridge, i Feb. 23.—
Three little frame buildings on
Main street belonging to Isaac
Less were burned last night as
follows: On?.,building was oc
cupied by Ed Marx as a restau
rant. The losses were as fol
lows: Marx restaurant $400;
The Tudaley > restaurant, loss
$400; Tom Hampton barber
shop, loss $250. There was no
insurance on stock.
The rear end of Less’ brick
block occupied by the Cozy Cor
ner drug store and the A. J.
Meyer store, sustained damages
of $1,000 and the damage to
stock in both stores was consid
erable. The fire originated from
a defective flue.
The burned buildings will be
replaced at once with brick
buildings.

! TYPICAL DIMMER IN FRANCE
Princess ►"■'assan Tells of a Meal and
Its Service ir the Land of
True Epicures.
A typical French dinner—not an
j exceptional one, mark you. but such .
: a dinner as a small tradesman's fam
I ily would have—is ’.ncomparably su
| perior to the plain roast dinner.
There would be. llrst of all, a few
relishes, according to the season of
the year Radishes, ice cold, sardines,
olives, eaviar .lust a little of each
with which to awaken the appetite,
then the soup to excite gently the
liquids of the throat and stomach,
then a little entree—usually a bit of
fish with Its appropriate vegetable,
or a handful of vegetables flavored
with meat sauce. Then, and not till
thtjn, does the chief course appear.
It may be a roast, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but In rio case will
It be anything which is not in har
mony with the previous courses and it
will be eaten in moderation, for the
edge of the diner’s appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded it. With it comes the
salad—varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes of the sea
son, and never, never by any possl
l billty will it be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the roinaine, strawberry
and green pepper thing. After the
salad there will be fruit or mellow
cheese, and then coffee. It will take .
two hours to eat such a dinner, but it
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay for it,
and there will be no indigestion aft
erward, no matter of what the din-!
ner is composed.—Princess Hassan in
an Interview by Louise Rice in the
Delineator.
GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
—
There Is a Point to This Importec
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for IL
ThlB is not an American joke. Ths
reader iB solemnly warned that it
!s of German extraction. Germans,
as everybody knows, like their Jests
hro&d and brutal. The victim of this
one was Cousin Hugo.
It seems Cousin Hugo made a night
of It and got home as the small hours
began to cease to be so small. As
he climbed the stairs, he stumbled (In
spite of the most elaborate care) and
rolled down into the hall below. The
consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not
so young as he used to ble, was a brok
en collarbone and a strained back.
Ahead even of the milkman, then,
came the fatally doctor, Sh estimable
old gentleman, and administered
soothing words while he encased the
patient In plaster.
‘T know, my dear sir,” he said, ‘‘that
it hurts like the deUce, but it ts not
a bit dangerous. All the same you'll
have to stay in bed for a while. Ton
got a nasty fall. How did it happen!
Was'it dark!"
“It was not, doctor," replied Cousin
Hugo with some asperity, “It was
Tight" *

The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
tlie average child “medicine,” even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles Lax
ative Tablets, however, this difn
culty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make Dr.
Miles’. Laxative Tablets the KM**
