AblaZG
With ETySipeIaS

There is no disease of the blood
which so completely puzzles the doc
tors as Erysipelas. They admit that
it is a blood trouble, but like other such
diseases, they are unable to effect a
cure.
1t is not surprising that those who
are afflicted with this distressing dis
ease should suffer such untold agonies.
Like a consuming flame, it covers the
skin with a fiery, burning redness
which is almost unbearable, and only
those who have been so afflicted can
describe its tortures
Aside from the suffering which Fry
sipelas causes, there is always great
danger attending the disease, unless
promptly checked. The inflammation
spreads through the tissues of the skin
and, when vital part is attacked, the
result is disastrous. Often the bones
are affected, and become so diseased
that they crumble away, leaving the
patient an invalid for life.
Here is such a case, where the doc
tors were unable to afford relief, and
strongly urged an operation.
Miss Ada Wainwright is a most esti-
mable young lady, residing at Alamo,
Tenn. After being under the doctor 3
care constantly for three years andde-
clared incurable, she saw before Ter

their parasols, and as there were eight of

Hard on the Rich.

These are hard times for rich
people, says a WRITER in Golfers
Weekly. Ii they spend money
freely they are ostentatious. If
they spend little they are held as
misery; if they give freely we are
told that they are pauperizing the
poor; if they give sparingly they
are mean and heartless. The pro-
per way to handle large fortunes
doesn't seem to be understood ex
cept by people who are without
fortunes, and these disagree so
dreadfully that the rich man in a
quandary doesn't know which to
believe. The only point on which
critics are agreed is that those who
have Lot of money shouldn't
have it, and that there are to be
some method of taking it away
from them without landing the
takers in Jail. If the rich man
invests his money in business en-
terprises he is grasping capital
ist who ought to be suppressed by
law; If he puts it into securities
which yield less interest than the
poor mans savings bank deposit
he is lazy coupon-clipper and a
bloated bondholder. And yet,
despite all these penalties of
wealth, every man you meet is
doing his best to become rich, and
won't remain otherwise single
day longer than he must; and
when he makes his pile he acts as
If he deserved it and knew how TO

money was used by men whom he
once criticised.

PATRIOTISM AND PRACTTCA.
BILITY COMBINED


Our most esteemed local con-
temporary, the Progress, in its
issue of last week differs widely
from The Echo's opinion as to the
choice of sites for the proposed
new state capitol and has turned
our opinion wrong side out, so
much so that we came near believ-
ing we were never at jackson or
visited the capitol, over cstimat-
ed practicabllity and patriotism,
The editor of The Echo has
visited Jackson several times and
the old capitol almost as often,
from the ground up. knowing
architects and Others who have
we'll visited the present site know
that this "aggregation mari" is
simply talk originating from those
parties whose interest from pc
cuniary standpoint has suggested
this in opposition. And suppose
for one moment the site was thus
threatening, would similar condi.
ton elsewhere impede the largest
and heaviest constructions on sites
more available, convenient, or
for other preferable reasons
adopted for the purpose? Many
of the city buildings with their
weights of steel and stone
are firm on beds of quicksands
and other conditions equally an
noying. Any architect can sue
cessfully scope with.the most Try
ing obstacle of this nature which
goes to make the work Of their
pattern stronger.
If Mississippi is to have a mil
lion dollar capitol the size of the
present site will be sufficient, even
in the event of building l.Gfgeeir
than the present, yyaa.ca yet n construc-
:ss2n more spacious would be q
superAuity. The writer's person
al observation shows that the
capitol of today has lots of its
space allotted to idleness and the
storing of accumulated waste pa
per. Let the million dollars be
expended to make the new build
ing better and stronger than the
old, mot larger-more attractive
and imposing and to have every
appointment complete.
A country without patriotism or
without that influence to prompt
the commemoration of the memo
ry of its official deliberators would
indeed be barren OF that noble
tenderness and void of human
feeling, and since state capitol
could not be consenlently built on
"another sphere" where "a ma
jority of men who have contribute
ed most toward making the place
famous have been called" as sug-
gested by our confrere, it would
for both practical and sentimental
reasons, be best to have the new
building stand in the place of the
old, the place where in life many
of Mississippi's most gifted men
have made its history great, glo-
rious and lasting.

The recent crusade against the
civil service law lnaugurated in the
senate by Senators Allen and Gal :.
linger make brief summary of the
classified service Of interest. The
whole nnm beI of places in the civil
service of the government is 78,717
of which 81, 107 are in the classified,
and 81 $40 are in the unclassilled SER
vice. OF this latter number G6, ,725
are postmasters Of the fourth class.
The aggregate compensation paid in
the executive civil service during the
last fiscal year was approximate !
500, 100000. There are about 10, :
900 persons now appointed by the
president and the number Is increas-
ing each year. The civil service
commission says that in few years
it will be absolutely impossible for
the president and the cabinet officers
TO hear all applicants for positions
and repeal of the four years tenure
in these places will be necessary.
During the last year 1920 persons
we're examined for the classified SER
vice and 20, ,499 passed successfully.
OF the successful contestants only
5,084 were appointed.

THE UNITED STATES WILL
INVESTIGATE.

President Mckinley has evinced
the proper spirit and the keeping
of one of the platform pledges
upon which his nomination was
set by sustaining that the United
States recognize the insurgency
of the Cubans and that his coun-
try's flag be not trampled. The
wires this week convey the INTEL
LICENSE that the president has
taken steps which would indicate
the first step of a spirited and pro-
nounced effort towards the erad-
lcation of the existing evils a
proud nation and great republic
like the United States cannot
countenance and which must be
repulsed, and the earlier the bet
ter. The president this week sent
to the island special commits
.sioner in the person of William D.
Day, of Ohio personal friend of
his and a lawyer Of no mean abil-
ity, who sailed to investigate the
recent murder of DR.. Ruiz. On
the result of this investigation we
can expect much, and that Judge
Day will work sincerely and make
a thorough representative of the
president can be vouched for, al
