Public sentiment should be against it and we believe it is; there can be no reason why ladies should suffer with headaches and neuralgia, especially when Hunt’s Lightning Oil gives such prompt relief. It is simply a question of getting the ladies to try it. All etuggists sell Hunt’s Lightning Oil in 25c and 50c bottles. A. B.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM BE MANU FACTURED IN LITTLE ROCK " Fayetteville.—The State Uni versity has just completed ar rangements with the Weil Pack ing Company of Little Rsck to construct on the grounds of the packing company a plant for the manufacture of hog cholera se rum. By having the serum plant in connection with the packing plant the hogs necessary for the manufucture of the serum can be had at a very low price, and the cost of the serum to the far mers will be greatly reduced. Every year cholera kills hogs worth millions of dollars, the to tal loss of the whole country be ing estimated last year at eighty millions. A large part of this loss occurred in Arkansas. The serum, if used in time, is a sure preventative of the disease. Plans for the building of the new plant are being drawn by the university engineering de partment and construction work will ticgin at once.
