doctors will be using the public
prints for all they are worth.
It IS In the memory Of all middle
age men when II was regarded BY
banks as a sacrifice Of all banking
ethics to advertise. Today every
leading bank in the country has in
its employ an active agent, appoint
ed and paid to solicit new business,
and they are liberal buyers Of news-
paper space. They have found
that to keep in line with the chang
irg of affairs they must do so or
younger and more active rivals will
get their business.
The physicians of the old school
may find suggestions distasteful,
but if they live to be so old again
as they are now they will witness
the painful departure Of large
lump of the "ethics'' which today
give many aspiring doctors more
worry than their patients. -Meri-

MORE OF THEM UNEARTHED

.Jackson-A dilligent but unsuc-
cessful search has been conducted
by the state officials Of Mississippi
for the past several years to locate
the whereabouts Of the journal Of
the first session of the state legis-
lature, which was held at old Nat
chez in 1919. The director Of the
department Of archieves and history
has just succeeded, however, in
unearthing the journal Of the second
session which contains some val.
liable historical data. He has also
recently discovered the journal Of
the sixth session, which was the
first meeting held here after jack.
son was selected as the State capt
toll. The manuscripts will be re-
bound and carefully preserved.

Cat Island, where stock raising is
carried on extensively, butchers
complain it is very hard to raise
hogs because of wholesale loss of
young pigs. Immediately after
birth of swine, buzzards swoop
down and pounce upon the defen-
seless animals. At Horn island
and the Chandeliers animal life on
the sea is washed ashore-some-
times tons and tons of dead fish
and upon this flotsam the vultures
feed. Along the Mississippi coast
carrion is much more easily found,
and buzzards here are a nuisance.
But at Ship Island, where fish
are washed up the same as at other
places, no birds of prey ever come.
Captain Mccall one time saw a
buzzard circle the island, cross and
recross it and finally alight on long
spar projecting. from the sand. It
remainded but few moments and
never touched soil.
You ask me to account for this
singularly strange fact. All can
say is that this continual Danish
ment of buzzards from soil wherein
lies the bones of a man of Coda
priest who had invoked divine aid
in the preservation of his moral re-
mains-is evidence of the power and
supreme control of the Creator.
Give as many scientific explana-
tons as you will none can show
why buzzards avoid good and ex-
tensive feeding grounds. Biloxi

STRANGE LEGEND
OF SHIP ISLAND.

81 want to tell you little le-
gend," said a man yesterday past
the prime of life, who has lived in
Biloxi continuously from birth, and
who has given nautical matters no
little study. "What | am about to
tell you will be corroborated by
Capt. Dan Mccall, who was light
house keeper at Ship Island for
twenty-four years; by Pete Clar-
isse, the present keeper, by all quar-
antine officials who heve been sta
toned there, and by seafaring men
who have travelled out of this port.
The story may sound unreasonable
and mythical, but you can't find a
human being on tho globe who has
since 1899 seen a buzzard or bird
or beast of prey on Ship Island.
''ln that year-I6oo-" went on
the narrator, "a Catholic priest
who came over with Lemoyne'd
d'lberville the French explorer and
landed at Ship Island, died, and the
remains were inferred near the CEN
ter of the island. Before his death
the priest prayed God that no buzz
card, bird or beast of prey should
ever disturb his bones. 1t was
his desire that all buzzards be ban
ished from the island, and never
permitted to return.
And to this day no one has seen
a buzzard on Ship Island soil. The
vultures frequent Horn, Cat and
Chandelier islands, and can be
found any day on the coast of the
mainland-four points which form
a compass about Ship Island. On

SHOULD DOCTORS
ADVERTISE?

This is an old question and one
that keeps bobbing up with greater
frequency of late years, showing
that behind the query is a public
sentiment that is growing stronger
either for or against the attempt
made by a certain portion of the
medical population to break into
the public prints with announce
ments of their skill in cure of dis
eases. That the public is not alto
gether opposed to advertising by
doctors in newspapers is proven by
the tremendous financial success
made by physicians who treat
certain forms of disease and who
are using liberal space in the daily
and weekly press to setbefore the
public testimonials of their ability
to treat successfully the most ag-
gravating cases.
Not long since the New York
News took up this case editorially
and presented it to the public.
The dissertation led an apprecia-
tive subscriber to write to that
journal:
81 do not propose to delve into
the common sense of the alleged
"ethics" of the profession. shall
not try TO find reason why doctors
in small cities have their cards
printed in the local papers without
violating these sacred, and, to my
mind, incomprehensible "ethics."
while if reputable doctor in a
large city did the same thing there
would be an immediate howl among
the members of the profession who
respect the "ethics" of the craft.
"Once upon a time man was
indicted for the murder OF his bro
Their and the indictment was quash-
ed when it was proven that he
never had a brother.
"For journalistic ages this ques-
ton has been spasmodica!ly argued:
Should doctors ADVERTISED in spite
of the fact that ever since the prac-
tice of medicine began every doctor
has advertised.
ut is time to change the question
and make it something like this;
How should doctors advertiser
Zone of the best definitions of
the word advertise is, ito make
known, to announce Advertising
does not necessarily consist Of US
ing bill boards, walls or newspaper
space.
"If the average M. D.wlo speaks
with awe of the ethics of his calling
awoke to the fact that the majority
of his profession advertised on walls
he would probably have a fit and
yet this is true.

SNAKE STORY FROM YAZOO
COUNTY.

The following snake story was.
recently sent out from Yazoo City:
Mrs. Clay Arnold, of the Red
mondvilIe neighborhood, had an ex-
perience with a snake few days
ago that she does not care to have
repeated. While taking walk
with her husband over their farm
a foot race was proposed to see
which could get through wire
fence first. Arriving at the fence,
Mrs. Arnold stopedto crawl under,
and as she did so a moccasin about
two feet long darted under her dress
at the throat. She saw the reptile
just as it made the spring, and grab
bed it through the folds of her shirt
waist. Her screams brought her
husband, and grabbing the intruder
by the tail end he pulled it in two.
The head end of the snake was got
ten out in less time than it takes to
tell it, but not before it had bitten
Mr.. Arnold on the hand. The snake
was of the most poisonous variety.
but Mr.. Arnold suffered no incon-
venience from the bite.

of almost any city he will see that
nearly all the physicians have their
names on large plates, usually of
brass, on the house wall between
the front windows.
"That is advertising, and it is
advertising on walls. These same
doctors usually have a similar an
nouncement, which also states the
office hours, on glass in one of the
windows, and, as a rule, the glass
is red, or blue, or green, in order~to
attract attention. In addition to
this they usually have their name
on goodly sized door plate on the
front door.
"Shades of Galen!
"a doctor advertiseS when he
presents his card, and he advertises
when he accepts as a gift from the
corner druggist several prescription
pads.
"The advertising of doctors is
done..under cover. 1t is not open

surreptitious.o
AS each new crop Of young
medicos come on, "ethics" of the
profession receive succession of
shocks. The youngsters are i'm
bued with the commercial idea, and
are taught from the moment they
get into school that it is the E1an
who gets a hustle on who is liable
to 60 to his grave as having made
the greatest success in life, and
when he leaves his medical college,
perhaps after several season ofhard
battling with the world, his first
idea is to get himself before the
people and in the way of trade.
His mind naturally drifts around to
the newspaper Offices, to programs,
to making presents to be auctioned.

his name and street number at

attention to himself and his pro-
fession.
Various efforts are made by him
to buildup practice, and it is no
wonder then, that the old school of
elegant physicians look with con-
tempt and we feigned pity upon his
conduct. Be that for all that, the
young man Of medicine goes right
along smashing tradition, and crop
after crop follows in his footsteps.

Almost everybody in Carroll coun-

himself on the formation of the

operations, and refusing the propo-
sition of DR.. j.. w. Scheibler the

the operation himself. After get

him place the mule on his side tied
so that he could not move, he per-

success, by making a very small

The Parrot and His Food,

Parrots and toucans have no knives
and forks to cut off the rinds of trop-
1cal fruits; but as monkeys use their
fingers, so the birds use for the same
purpose their sharp and powerful bills
No better nutcrackers and fruit parers
could possibly be found. The parrot in
particular has developed for the pur-
pose his curved and inflated beak-a
wonderful weapon, keen as a tailors
scissors and moved by powerful mus
cles on either side of the face which
bring together the cutting edges with
extraordinary energy.
The way the bird holds fruit gin
gerly in one claw, while he strips off
the rind dexterously with his under
hung lower mandible and keeps
sharp lookout meanwhile on either
side with those sly and stealthy eyes
of his for q possible intruder suggests
to the observing mind the whole living
drama of his native forest. One sees
in that vivid world the watchful mon
key ever ready to swoop down upon
the tempting tail feathers of his heredi-
tary foe; one sees the canny parrot ever
prepared for his rapid attack and ever
eager to make him pay with five joints
of his tail for his impertinent interfer-
ence with an unoffending fellow citi-
zen of the arboreal community.-Corn-
hill Magazine.
