A Reader Cores His Constipation—Try It Free
Slmpl. way tar any family to retain th8 e,0d h.alth of all It. mambar.
The editors of "Health Hints" and
"Questions and Answers” have one
question that is put to them more of
ten than any other, and which
strangely enough, they find the nrn-t
difficult to answer. That is "How
can I cure my constipation?"
Pr. Caldwell, an eminent specialist
in diseases of the stomach, liver and
bowels, has looked the whole field
over, has practised the specialty for
forty years and is convinced that the
ingredients contained in what is
called Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
has the best claim to attention from
constipated people.
Tts success in the cure of stubborn
constipation has done much to dis
place the use of salts, waters, strong
[cathartics and such things. Syrup
, by ‘lining the stomached
a ur-i.rSCle? ,0 lKa’n do ,hcir ™k
aturaUj, and with its tonic ingredi
ent- strengthening the nerves, brings
about a lasting cure. Among its
strongest supporters are Mr John
Graveline of 98 Milwaukee Ave . De
Ok'lah "h - and Mr. J A. Vernon of
C,,y , Thousands of others

BECKER & LEWIS
FROM BILL WILLIAMS
j Mr. Editor:
believing a-> 1 do in the great prin
ciples of retrenchment, and believing
!ka: I In mas Jefferson was right when
he said, "the greatest good to ttie
greatest number." 1 would like to
s,ate through the medium of your
valuable paper, what 1 would do if 1
were a member of the Legislature,
and the platform that 1 would stand
on. provided 1 was running for that
office.
First. I would introduce a bill put
ting all county officers on a salary. 1
would pay the county judge $i>oo, I
i would pay the circuit court clerk
I-f-'iNk), i would pay the county court
clerk $2000, 1 would pay the county
j treasurer $1200, I would pay the
county assessor $ooo, I would pay the
tax collector $1500, 1 would pay the
| sheriff and jailer the fees as now laid
I down in the statute, and also the
coroner and surveyor, Tills means, of
course, that tlie slieritf's office and
the collector s office would lie severed
creating two separate and distinct of.
hce». If whoever wants to represent
this county will get on this platform
and stay there, he will be elected, be
cause the people know that this hill
will save to the taxpayers of this
county enough money in ten years to
put a nice iron bridge over every
i creek,slough and lagoon in the county,
and at the same time all our officers
will lie well paid. I'nder our present
law. for instance, the treasurer of the
icounty has only the name of being
treasurer, liecause the bank which
I gives the greatest rate of interest on
j daily balances handles all the money.
Then, for Instance, we will take the
assessor. lie only works four months
in the vear, and according to the
I clerk s statement, he gut for assessing
the taxes this year something over
jtl ioo, with eight months to do some
thing else in. Take the county judge.
1 11 is time for holding court will not
! exceed ten or fifteen days in the year,
land it seems to me that ftiiin a year
would be ample pay. Next, take the
| collector, lie will work from January
1st to June 10th, and it does look like
f 1500 is a tdee sum of money to he paid
, to any man for six months' work: and
surely each one of the clerks of this
county ought to be satisfied with $2000
i year each, as this i> what is paid in
\\ hite and ot hercounties w ith similar
work.
All lets. Mr. Kditur. under a bill
ttfier this fashion would have to ije
paid into the county treasurer, and at
the end of each month 1 would re
11iiire the county court clerk to draw
| his warrant on the county treasurer
to pay each officer, lie first to sign it,
j and then have that warrant counter
signed by the county judge. In round
numbers a bill like this will save to
the taxpayers not less than $5,000 each
year; and as 1 have just stated above,
within ten vears enough money can be
accumulated to build a nice biidge at
every place where one is needed in
this county.
1 know it will he said, Mr. Kditor,
that Hill Williams is mighty late in
talking al)out retrenchment. It is
late, hut 1 have practiced retrench
ment and a division of lhe slieriir and
collector's office for years. And if any
body is so silly as todispute thisstate
ment, cite them to me, and I can
show them where 1 have done it.
I nder the present system of high
taxes. I claim that something has to
he done or t here will lie more assign
ments made in this county than one.
In oilier words, if the high tax rate
keeps up under the low price of farm
products, especially cotton, which is
our money crop, it will bankrupt every
man, merchant, farmer and all in the
State of Arkansas.
In giving my views on what ought
to i>e done, it is not my intention to
hurt anybody. I am only actuated by
the great principle of “live and let
live.” Tiie fees as laid down herein
are a great deal more Ilian the highest
priced bookkeeper or clerk in any town
in Eastern Arkansas gets, and it does
look like to me that no objection
should lie raised to what I have bad
to say.
Knowing. Mr. Editor, (hat this plat
form will fully readi the approbation
of the good sensible men of this coun
it y, 1 beg to remain
Very respectfully,

"The harvest Is passed.” All crops,
with the eiception of cotton, are
gathered and housed. Winter witli
its rain ami chill has come, and fifty
per cent of the cotton yet in the patch
will remain there. Winter days are
short. Cotton must lx1 picked out
with the hare fingers, and work as you
may from the time frost is otT in the
, morning until evening's cold, during
the few bright days that will follow,
but little cotton now unpicked will !>e
gathered. This is true of any year,
and because of the present bankrupt
ing price of tliis great staple of the
South, It is especially true of this
good year of 1011.
I he year's work is closed. Starting
out on the new year, ditching ttie wet
land is a job for tills time of tlie year.
In summer the ground is hard and tlie
heat intense: now the soil is easily
spaded and scraped and tlie air is cool
and bracing for this work. Some
water Is present by which you can
grade your work and know it is etTec
tive, in tlie absence of an engineer.
Much money is lost in trying to work
semi-wet land. Late plantings must
always lie made, and after that our
rainfalls make it impossible to grow a
good crop. You have patches of small
er or greater acreage of these wet
places In the farm that you should
take out now. Tiling is liest, hut
under ground board ditches will do
the work until they rot, and open.
Hitching is far iietter than none and ;
can be rapidly done with mules and!
scraper in open fields where tree roots
do not interfere. Hitching applies to
the bottom lands, hut the work of
leveling or terracing Hill land is just ,
as Important, to prevent its washing,
and this is the time to do it. (>ur tdll
lands will all begone underour present
plan of farming them, unlessa change
is made. Grasses and winter cover
crops of rye, etc., will help to hold
them, but they must he terraced if we
continue their cultivation, otherwise
;they will become grinning gullies, to
be turned into tbe abandoned lield
| section, which stands as a monument
to our ignorance or want of energy.
lake out the stumps now. The
ground is easier spaded, the stump
puller moves them easier from the
[ soft earth and dynamite is of greater
j efficiency than when the ground is
dry. it will cost you something, to
be sure, hut it costs you to break
tools on them, drive around them,
and hoe the grass from around their
spur roots, besides, you cannot use
cultivators in stumps, nor ten foot
harrows, nor mowers, nor reapers, nor
any of the improved farm implements,
and that is the farming of the future.
We do not disparage the importance
now attaching to the per acre yield
and the putting on of compost, ortree
leaves carried in from tlie woods, hut
tlie per man income for tlie labor and
the per cent income for the capital
invested, is the real test of success for
a business, and fertilization by fall
breaking, with winter cover crops and
legumes, and all turned under and
cultivated with broader tools, pulled
by bigger horses and less hands to
drive, is, as 1 conceive it, the proper
plan for spreading prosperity over the
broad acres of the South. We can’t
run the machinery required to do this
work in stumpy ground. Take them
out.
Repair up tlie barn. Hoard over the
cracks, so that the wind can’t whistle
through. It will cut like a knife the
horse that stands next to it. Don’t
let “Hide” stand humpbacked under
the drip of the barn, with a strip of
ice along her spinal column, and ex
pect her to till the milk pail at night.
Give her a shed.
Fix up the fences while the frozen
timber splits easily, and the soft
ground makes the digging of holes a
lighter task.
Kill the hogs before ttie sultry,
damp days set in, and have backbones
and sausage for Christmas. Killings
later than the tirst of the year are
always in danger of loss of th** meat.
The bright cool days of early winter
are best.
