The newspaper fraternity through out Arkansas will be touched deeply by news of the death of J. Allen Tre vathan, business manager of the Batesville Guard, who passed away; at his home in Batesville this morn- i ing at 1 o’clock, following a brief ill- j ness of pneumonia. In the death of Mr. Trevathan the editor of the In dependent loses one of the best and truest friends he ever had.

She has about 25 fami llies on her list whom she is visiting and averages 12 cases daily—most of these influenza. The Newport School Board very wisely decided to take this epidemic in hand before it got a start in the city schools. Upon their request, the president of the city Board of Health, Dr. E. L. Wat son, with Mrs. Spitzer, the nurse, made an examination of the Walnut Street High school, finding five cases, including the jainitor. The nurse is proving her value to the community every day.

Weather prognosticators whc claim to have the proper dope in re gard to the matter, say there is go ing to a late fall. If their pre dictions prove true, it will be to th< material benefit of the cotton plan ters of North Arkansas, especially those living in the river bottom sec tions, where the cotton plant is still erreen, and maturing young bolls put on recently, that under ordinary weather conditions would be caught to her home at Cotton Plant trom a Memphis hospital several days ago, and is receiving every attention by her fmaily and physicians and is bet ter satisfied to be at home with her friends. A telephone message this morning to Mrs. R. D. Brown notified her ot the death of her brother, Richard Kitchens, in France. The young man was in the United States army and was sent to France several months ago and his death from pneu monia is a distinct blow to his many friends here. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Kitchens at Helena were notified of their son’s death and they in turn called Mrs. Brown over the phone this morning. On learning this morning of the appointment by the government of Ailhur F. Bailey as cashier of the Federal Reserve Bank at Little Rock, Newport certainly felt proud of the fact. Mr. Bailey has been an exam iner of the State Banking Depart ment for five years and has made good in every department and the honor conferred by the governor of the Federal Reserve Bank at St. Louis, was justly deserved. ^. .. pi---r.

The per cent of this unmatured crop is estimated at ten per cent of that already matured. If the farmers have the good fortune to secure this additional ten per cent in this year’s yield, it will prove quite a handsome pick-up for them. HELD BY UNDERTAKERS.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, j worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapaci tated by illness. / If we all would practice Inside-bath ing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The rea son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will bum bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day’s accumulation of Indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten ing and purifying the entire alimer tary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the*morning inside-bath. A ouarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshen ing effect upon the Bystem. .
