Little Rock, Nov. 12.— The State Board of Health is about ready to put into operation its Bureau of Vital Statistics as provided under the act. The de lay has been occasioned by the printing of the supplies as a vast amount of blanks and report i forms will be needed. The pre liminaries have been under the direction, largely, of F. L. Wat kins, of the Bureau of Vital Sta tistics, Washington, D. C. One of the objects to be attained is to demonstrate that Arkansas is not a hot-bed of disease, as some believe, and to lift the ban that has been placed upon twenty-two counties of the state by the large insurance companies by proving that they are as free from disease as any other state. • The state has been divided into G77 registration districts, wihch have been divided into _\ | I Specials for one § jSj T Ladies’ one-piece woolen dresses, in Eg fig I Shepherd Checks, solid blues and ifp SO TAT/*T tans, regular $8.50 values |fl] “ifi Yy r“ I and will be sold at-.$1.93 3S 5§a T T V”X $10.00 Blue and White Serge |6g fig Dresses, for one week, IjjS gfpS I House Dresses and Kimonas at ep SB _ J_ l.L~ special prices. ^5 &E I I|1 f-A Our line of coats and skirts are beau- (tie 3| Cll LI Ities. ga x9] Ladies’ Flannel and Madras Shirt Ifa waist, $1.50 values for this week Eg §1 only..$1-19 g# ’^5 Munsing Union Suits for the "" TAT whole family. *n ££ C W CLOTHING!

Considerable commotion pre vailed at the home of Max Meyer on West Matthews aven ue last night, when what ap peared to be a rattlesnake was discovered in the home by Ber nice, the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer. She discovered the supposed to-be reptile as she descended the staircase leading into the sitting room. It was lying on the hearth, She became very frightened upon making the discovery and immediately im parted the news to the negro woman servant, who upon look ing at the object declared that it was a rattlesnake and became terribly frightened, vowing that [she would resign her position in the Meyer household as it was infested by sna'kes. Mrs. Meyer heard the commo tion and appeared on the scene, iriAU'infl1 Tl’lf li Atll AVC! «■> C! f A dangerous looking object. She then went and got possession of a revolver, but could not sum up courage enough to shoot, so Herbert Meyer was sent for. He came from the Max Meyer Gro cery as fast as possible, bring ing with him a large axe handle with which to cope with the dan gerous foe. Upon arriving he discovered to the utter amaze ment of all that the object, which had so terrified the fam ily and servant ,was only an iron gooseneck, which Mr. Meyer had unthoughtfully laid on the hearth, when he came to supper and had left it there. —Jones boro Sun.

A Seemingly Common Disease; which Becomes Fata! through | Neglect and which May Be; Readily Cured by Prompt At tention. More than two-thirds of the annual death rate, physicians claim, is directly traceable to kidney disorders. Interested by this remarkable asser tion and desiring to acquire a better un derstanding of the origin of the disease, a prominent physician was recently in terviewed as to the symptoms of such troubles. ««***» ‘•To what do you attribute the great j destructiveness of kidney disease? was asked. “The hold which the disease gains in the body before the victim becomes aware | of his true condition, and the rapidity | with which it eats its way into the vital organs.” “Would not the proverbial ‘ounce oi ! prevention’ check the progress of the disease?” “There is no doubt of it. The trouble is that victims of this disease mistake the symptoms f^r some trifling ailment in the stomach or bowels; therefore they do nothing to arrest the course of the disease until it is well advanced.” “What is the origin of kidney trouble?’ “Almost invariably bad digestion, fol h,- tr.rnid liver and a constipated habit.” “What are the symptoms?” “Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish brain, restless nights, pale or sallow skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart burn, sour belching, backache or tender ness over the kidneys, nervous weak ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired feeling, too much or too little urine, and sediment in urine.” ITS EFFECT OX THE HEART. “In what way is the heartaffected from kidney trouble?” “In all cases the heart is disturbed, though in many instances the palpita tion does not become alarming until the disease has advanced to a serious point. A severe heart throbbing and nervous trembling is noticeable, especially aftei a little bodily exercise; the victim fre quently imagines he has heart disease.’' HOW TO CURE IT. “What, is the proper course of treat ment for kidney disease?” “First, to get rid of uric acid and other poisons in the system. This can be done by stimulating the bladder and bowels so that they will act more freely. The suffering kidneys must be strengthened, the liver and stomach toned up and the digestion improved.” Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that ' answers these requirements completely.! It is not only a system tonic and regu lator, but its healing and restorative in- ] fluence will build up the weakened kid- I neys and urge them to a better perform- J ance of their duties. It gives strength ! and tone to the liver, stomach and heart and promotes harmony of action through out the body. M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected citizen of Starks, La., says: "I was troubled with kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. I was in continual misery until 1 began taking Prickly Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and 1 am now a strong, healthy and hearty man. 1 give it to my wife and four children and they ar' in the best of health, too. I feelthat Prickly Ash Bitters is the best remedy on earth and thai trarybody should keep a bottle at home.’’ Get the genuine with the figure “3” in red on front label. Sold by druggists.
