Entered at tha poatoffioe, Newport,

value of a V'acation.
The accredited maxims all
spur men to labor. The books
are full of illustrious examples
of the value of incessant toil.
What we need is more of the
gospel of rest.
Interest in work, the desire to
be constantly doing, love of in
dustry for its own sake, or for
its rewards, keep many restless
ly busy until nature calls a halt,
and the man of ceaseless activ
ity wears out and retires from
the active scene.
Yes, it is “better to wear oul
than rust outbut a stop now
and then for oiling up lessens
both the wear and the rust.
There are sports that kill,
and there are labors, too, that
destroy life. The prudent man
will see to it that sufficient time

year to rest and rational enjoy
ment that is recreative and life
giving.
Stevenson wrote a gentle sa
tire, containing much shewd
wisdom, entitled “An Apology
for Idlers,” in which he says
among other equally good
things:
“Perpetual devotion to what
a man calls his business is only
to be sustained by perpetual
neglect of other things. And it
is not by any means certain
that a man’s business is the
most important thing he has to
'do. To an impartial estimate it
will seem clear that many of
the wisest, most virtuous and
beneficial parts that are played
upon the theater of life are fill
ed by gratuitous performers,
and pass among the world as
phases of idleness.”
It is refreshing to listen now
and then to so distinguished an
apologist and exemplar of idle
ness.
Amusement is an important
part of education. Relaxation is
one of the main duties of life.
Recreation is not wasting
time, but economizing life.
Scrub Stock Make Poor Beeves
and Milkers.
There is absolutely no reason
in assuming that live stock
farming will not pay in Arkan
sas, when farmers in Iowa. Mis
souri. Indiana and Illinois have
made a success of it on $100 per
acre land, with short summers,
long winters, and a single crop
season and no natural forage and
range. While in Arkansas we
have only a few weeks during
each season that it is necessary
to house the stock; we can raise
three or four crops a season;
have plenty of $10 land, and
unlimited natural range. There
are few obstacles in Arkansas to
live stock farming.
The big question that will con
front our live stock farmers is
the question. What kind of
stock shall I buy ? Buy and
raise the kind that will produce
the most money in the shortest
time. This will eliminate the
scrub sow. the scrawney. ill
bred bull and the razor back hog.
In selecting cattle, do it with
the idea of making money, and
in doing this you will consider
the beef making qualities'and the
butter making qualities. The
beef and butter animal is the an
imal you should buy. The but
ter strain of the shorthorns and
the butter strain of the Hol
steins have been found to be
this “beef and butter” animal.
They are just about as good
milkers and butter producers,
just as the beef strain of the
%
Hereford*, short, horn* and Hol
stein* are good beeves.
Buy the real thoroughbred
hog*. A young thoroughbred
sow or boar, while less than a
year of age, can be bought so
cheaply and produce so quickly
that every farmer can afford
to get a start. The Duroc -Jer
seys, the Berkshire* and the
Poland Chinas are all money
makers. They grow quickly
and are good foragers. They
produce a maximum amount of
pork at from ten to twelve
months old, and grow larger.
Don’t forget to watch out for
hog cholera. Either Dr. R. M.
Gow, State Veterinarian, Fay
etteville, or H. H. Holtzclaw,
Russellville, will come to any
part of the state and teach you
how to administer hog cholera
serum and will not charge you
anything except for his actual
expenses and the actual cost of
the serum.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down ia Mind Unable to Work*
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that I became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the woman’s
Ionic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
I am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and I feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it

“Clean Up the Bowels and
Keep Them Clean”
There are many remedies to be
had for constipation, but the diffi
culty is to procure one that acts
without violence. A remedy that
does not perform
b y force what
should be accom
plished by persua
sion is Dr. Miles’
Laxative Tablets.
After using them,
Mr. N. A. Waddell,
3 [ 5 Washington
St., Waco, Tex.,
says:
“Almost all my
life I hava been
troubled with constipation, and have
tried many remedies, all of which
seemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles'
Laxative Tablets and found them ex
cellent. Their action is pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. I am more than
glad to recommend them.”
“Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean,” is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. Do not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are a
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great improvement over the
cathartics you have been using in
the past. " They taste like candy
and work like a charm. A trial
will convince you.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at .25 cents
a box containing 25 doses. If not
found satisfactory after trial, re
turn the box to your druggist and
he will return your money. ia
