HOW TO DESTROY FLIES
Writ U-n for th.’ De Queen Bee.
We read with much interest
your article in last week’s Bee on
the horrid typhoid fly.
Now if the business men would
co-operate, and we fell pretty sure
they will, the fly could be almost
exterminated.
If every business men would
sprinkle the following every morn
ing on the pavement and sides or
the wall, or if they did it three
times a week, they would destroy
the flies:
Two tablespoonsful of forma
lin and one quart of sour milk
(water, sweetened with molasses,
will do just as well.) Sprinkle
with a sprinkler pot early in the
morning, and in 20 minutes 90 per
cent of the flies will be dead.
Dr. 0. M. Ball of College Sta
tion, Texas, says the above was!
tried out in the laboratory and
found to be the best and surest
method to get rid of the flies.
We hope that every newspaper
in Arkansas will publish this, and
that every Im ineMM man that sees
it will try it two or three times n
week, and we especially ask the
farmers to try it. Be sure and
sprinkle it around quite early in
the morning, while the flies are
hungry.
Dr. Bell says if a few drops
should get into food, no harm
would be done, and we feel stirs
not as much harm as if one fly
got into the food,
There is not more than one
house in every fen in the country
that i* screened, and in many that
are screened little children stand
and play with the screen door
open and let in the flies.
Dr. Ball further says if you
have typhoid or diarrhoea that it
is almost conclusive proof that
you have swallowed human waste
which was brought ?o your foo*
or drink by your houseflies. So
please kill the fly and save your
child. (J. W. Sullivan.

‘ARKANSAS, LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY”
New Yorker Tries Native
State and California—Re
turns Here to Live.
Plenty you’ll hear who are ill
content, but those satisfied with
their lot are few. However, \V.
I). Beers, 1415 Bragg Street, who
has lived in the East and West,
of which glowing pictures have
been painted both in color and
story, says “Arkansas, the land
of opportunity, for me.” He has
lived here many years.
His own testimony, entitled
“The Afterglow,” follows: “Thir
ty years ago I was a resident of
New York State, a native son.
Tired of the long winters, the dull
monotony of living where there
were no new worlds to conquer—
or rather no undeveloped country
to furnish opportunity, I sought
a newer and better country.
“To aid in my search for new
fields I consulted the cyclopedias,!
where, to my great surprise, 11
found Arkansas credited with
more natural resources than any
other state in the Union. The re
ports of climatic conditions were
in its favor. At that time Arkan
sas was spoken of as a joke and
the ’jumping off place.’ ‘The fid
ler Arkansaw Traveler’ described
Arkansas to the average Northern
mind.
“I packed my grip, resolved to
learn the truth or falsity of what
I had read in the cyclopedia. I
was given every facility for inves
tigation by the Iron Mountain
railroad and other concerns. 1
traveled over the state by rail,
stage coach and horseback, giv
ing the results of my observations
to Northern papers. I became en
thusiastic over the promises for
the future in Arkansas. I found
that only half had been told of
the state.
Told His Friends of Arkansas
“After spying out this golden
land, I hurried back to New York
to tell my friends there, and urge
them to come to Arkansas. I told
them to leave the place where they
were eking out a bare existence,
on wornout lands, slaving in the
short summer to earn enough to
pay interest on their money, taxes
and get supplies for the long win
ter. Those who had accumulated
wealth I urged to invest it in Ar
kansas, where land at that time (
could be purchased for $2.50 to
$lO per acre.
"They thought me crazy and be-i
lieved me hired by Arkansas to!
paint my glowing pictures. They
valued their lands at $75 to SIOO,
and it would not pay for itself in
a natural life time. Today the
lands which could have been pur
chased so cheap in Arkansas then
are worth SIOO and $l5O an acre.
“I did induce a large number to l
return to Arkansas with me, and
they found my tales true. For
fifteen years I watched the steady
growth of Little Rock and the
state. Then by a strange whirl
of the wheel of fortune, I went
to the real jumping off place—
California. After living on the
invigorating climate for 15 years
I returned to my first love—Arkan
sas.
Surprised at City’s Growth
“I dare not take the space to ex
press my gratification at the mag
ic growth and wonderful transfor
mation that had placed Little Rock
in the first division of cities, and
ma<le it a sure winner of the
championship honors of cities of
its size and larger.
“I know whereof I speak, for I
traveled the northern route* from
California to New York, and the
southern route from there back to
Little Rock. I challenge any per
son to name a city more up to date
and with a more promising out
look. It has gone beyond my pro-1
phecies of fit) years ago. Few peo
ple realize what a queen among
cities they live in.
“After fin years of absence I vis
ited my old New York state home.
Some of the small towns had im
prnved in appearance, but there
was little increase in population. l
I he cities looked older and more
dirty, and have not kept pare with
the times. Compared with Little
” h I they are country towns. Here
you can point with pride to the
-tat'’, county, city, railroads, pub
lic buildings, hotels, office, thea-i
ter ami factory building-, ■ ml to
other places of business of mod
ern -architecture and an up-to
dateness equal to cities many
times its size. Wo can also men
lion the paved, clean and well
shaded streets, the modern resi
dences, Best of all, there is not
. saloon or booze bar in sight. In
i’ ad, the broad old Arkansas riv
er. spanned by modern bridges,
whose waters are never too thin'
for the Drys to quench their thirst.
at will and the Wets to drink their!
fill.
“Lift your heads. Unfurl youi
banners to the world. Keep the
man in the box, the tried and true
on the bases and the hustlers in
the field. Make home run hits and
the championship pennant will
float over our City of Roses —Lit-
tle Rock.
Sevier County
The above is from the Arkansas
Gazette, one of the great papers of
the South, and a true champion of
, the state.
The opportunities which Mr.
Beers speaks of as existing in
, certain sections of the state ten
or fifteen years ago exist in Se
vier county today.
There are improved farms here
■ producing from S2O to more than
SIOO per acre for their owners.
But there are still lands that can
, be purchased at from $lO to S2O
per acre that can be made to do!
what the farms we speak of are
doing.
Great is Arkansas.
Great is Sevier county.
Come to Sevier county.
EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE’!
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your Liver
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put
! into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out
and believe you need a dose of
dangerous calomel just remember
1 that your druggist sells for 50
cents a large bottle of Dodson’s
1 Liver Tone, which is entirely veg
etable and pleasant to take and is
! a perfect substitute for calomel.
‘ It is guaranteed to start your liv
er without stirring you up inside,
and you can’t salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes
1 you sick the next day; it loses you
!a day’s work. Dodson’s Liver
‘ Tone straightens you right up and
' you feel great. Give it to the
, children because it is perfectly
1 harmless and doesn’t gripe.—Adv.

CAPITAL COMMENT
. BY CLIO HARPER
I' Little Rock, July 12. —Probably
for the first time in the history of
i Arkansas, three school teachers
1 have been nominated by the poli
tical parties for Governor. It has
| been suggested that this is in
keeping with the policy announc
ed by the Democratic party in
electing an educator President of
the United States. The school
teacher at last seems to be com
ing into his own. They are to be
given an opportunity for the prac
tical application of the theories
they have long been teaching the
youth of the country.
Dr. C. H. Brough, the Democrat
ic nominee, has been for several
years a member of the faculty of
the University of Arkansas, and
resigned from that institution to
make the race in which he achiev
ed so great a success.
Wallace Townsend, of the Lit
tle Rock bar, the Republican nom
inee, has been practicing law for
a number of years, but he used to
he a school teacher and was for
several years principal of the Lit
tie Rock High School.
At th<> state convention of the
Socialists held here last week,
they followed the lead of the dom
inant parties and nominated a
school teacher, William Davis, of
Armada, ('rawford county.
It has been announced that Mr.
Powsend will open his campaign
at Enola, Faulkner county, July
15. Ihe citizens of that commu
nity have announced that they
will invite Dr. Brough to meet Mr.
1 owsend. Ihe Democratic cam
paign committee, however, havs
not made any announcement of
their attitude toward a joint can
vass, but it is not probable that
there will be any.
“Why should the Democrats
take it upon themselves to drum
up a crowd for the Republicans?”
said one of the Democratic lead
ers. The Democratic spell-bind
er.s will In* heard throughout the
state, but they will probably “go
it alone.”

that Senator Robinson is only
taking a needed rest, and that he
will be in the running at the prop

In the meantime, there is no
dearth of prospects, and the names
of Congressman Caraway, former
Congressman C. C. Reid, former
governor Donaghey, and Smead
Powell are among those most
prominently mentioned for Robin
son’s toga, while Judge W. F.
‘ Kirby and Congressman Jacoway

Little Rock is to have a woman’s l
college after a number of years!
without a boarding school of this
kind. Mrs. Effie Cline Fones and
her sisters, Misses Sarah Yancey
Cline and Martha Cline have
leased the old Maddox Seminary
building, which stands on Lin-
I coin avenue, upon a hill opposite
the Iron Mountain station, and it
has been thoroughly remodeled for
! school purposes. The building
overlooks the Arkansas river, and!
is one of the finest seen when en-|
tering the city from north and I
west. It will accommodate one
hundred boarders.
Musical training will be the
chief theme, but pupils will be I
taught the academic courses. The
faculty of the new college, which
is to be know as the Little Rock
Conservatory and College for
Women, will be composed of musi
i cians who have a national reputa
tion. In addition to the advan
tages of the school, Mrs. Cline will
conduct personally supervised par
ties to the Musical Festival and
to the offerings of the opera sea
-1 son, with many of the pupils be
ing utilized in concerts in the city
to give them experience in this
class of work.
