In other towns general "Clean-up,,
days are being announced, on which day
all the citizens, business men-in fact
everybody in town is requested to help
clean the rubbish and waste from the
streets, alleys, and vacant lots. Does
anybody think it would hurt Arcadia
to have a"Clean-up" day?
Mosquitoes breed in old tin cans
which are allowed to lie around and
become partly filled with water. Flies
breed in rotting trash and refuse if
such is allowed to accumulate on va
cant lots, back yards, etc. If a day
were set apart on which everybody in
town were requested to gather up all
the tin cans and rubbish on their prem
ises and place it in a pile where the
city scavenger could collect and haul
it away, and then everybody assist in
cleaning up the vacant lots the same
way, it would no duobt save many
doctor's bills later on. It would help
the looks of our town, too. Don't
you think so, dear reader?

educational opportunities afforded will
be much more equally distributed to all
the children of the parish than in the
past-and the tax will not be burden
some.
We believe if the tax is carried, it
will he the best thing that has ever
happened for the slhools of lienville
Parish, and we hope that our read
ers will analyse the proposition care
fully, as we believe when this is done,
the majority will consider it favorably.

burning. About 3,000 of these
souvenirs of the greatest war

to this District, to be distribut
ed among Liberty Loan work

HERE COME THE TANKS
Tanks played an important
part in the big battles of the
war. Twenty of these armored
vessels will visit this District,
manned by boys who actually
handled the tanks in France.
They called these boys the
"Treat 'ema Rpugh" boys, be
cause that's what they did to
Sthe boche. The tanks are fully
equipped with guns and ammu
nition just as they went onto
-the battlefields, and you will
rget a real taste of war' when
"these guns are fired. Eloquent
speakers will accompany the

LIGHT PLANT IS PURCHASED
BY TOWN OF ARCADIA
A deal which has been pending be.
tween the Town of Arcadia and the
Stewart Light & Power Co., was coii
sumated today whereby the light plant
becomes the property of the Town. The
consideration was $5,000.00.
It has been the plan of the Mayor
and Town Council to install a lighting
system in connection with the water
works plant, on the belief that the two
could be operated in connection at prac
tically the cost of operating either
plant alone. The original plan was
to install two engines for the power
plant, and to add to this the ma
chinery necessary for a light plant.
The purchase of the light plant, makes
it possillch to install a waterworks and.
lighting system at practically the cost
of the waterworks system alone under
the original plan.
Among the improvements to be made
in the light plant will be the installa
tion of two new dynamos which will
insure better service.
Mr. H, A. Ments, of Magnolia, Miss.,
was here yesterday and today as con
sulting engineer for the Town of Ar
cad.ia, assisting the Mayor and Town
Council In preparing the specillcations.

for the installation of the light and
waterworks system.

NASTY CALOMEI
Starts your liver without making you
sick and can not salivate
Every druggist in town--your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has
noticed a great falling off in the sale
of caloreel. They all give the same
rea son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results,"
said a prominent local druggist. Dod
son's Liver Tone is personally guar
anteed by every drulggist who sells it,
A large bottle costs but a few cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and a~dults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience
all the next day like violent calomel,
Take a dose of calonmel today and to
morrow you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a day's work!
Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and'
feel fine, full of vigor and ambition.
