port shipped "a per cent of the lumber
handled in the Pearl River District,

feet, May being the banner month, with
shipments amounting to 30,557 900.
Dispensary Against Blind Tiger.
A movement has been inaugurated at
Meridian for a solution of the liquor
problem on lines that will rid the city
of the blind tiger evil without inviting
the saloon as an alternative. 1t is pro-
posed that ten responsible citizens unite
and put up the money for procuring a
license for the sale of whisky in the
name of ar agent, to be designated by
them, and sell liquors of all kinds un-
der the rules governing the dispensary
in other States. The party in whose
name the license is procured will be
paid a salary for his services, and all
profits from the business over 8 per

The c. o. D. whisky case of the Har-
vest King Distilling Company of. Kan
sas City VS.. the American Express
Company, was heard before Judge Niles
in the United States court at Oxford.
This was an injunction suit against the
express company to restrain them from
refusing to accept G. o. ID. business
from Missouri for points in Mississippi.
Judge Niles held that the express COM
pany could refuse to accept G.. o. d.

, The Cry in Russia
: "Land! Land! Land!"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES:

st. Petersburg-Opisko, the intran.
sigeant peasant orator, aroused the
interest of the house with fiery invec-
tive against the plans of the majority.
He preached the doctrine of full ma
tionalization of land, declaring that
millions of voices were joining in the
cry of land" land" and for a full
distribution of this divine gift to man.
The constitutional democratic project,
he declared, was Ubiquitous, because it
permitted the existence of private es-
tates; but this would be swept away
by the righteous wrath Of the peas
antry.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine Cor q
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into COMMISSIONS says a Col
orado mother.
81 decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were sooD
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
"That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph / send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy : condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray
filling in the nerve centers and brain.
A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.
