PLEADS FOR FOOD Law.
Chicagoan Says Weights Are False
an Mana Stores.

Paul Pierce Editor of What to Eat" a Chicag
publication which did much to aid the crusade in
that city against short weights and measures and
impure foods is investigating similar conditions in
this city. He finds many things to commend in
the way in which this city is handling the problem.
but says that in the matter Of short weights and
measures the conditions here Just as bad as
they were in Chicago prior to the crusade there by
Joseph Grein, the city sealer. So far Mr.. Pierce
has been unable to see Health Commissioner Dar-
lington, but he has examined the records of the
department. He said yesterday:
& One E. Of the best things done On here is Is the the ad0P

law. This law does not cover cases where food is

Mr.. Pierce is much impressed with the good work
that had been done by the local Board OF Health
toward keeping the milk supply pure He believes
however. that great step forward would be taken
if the sale of milk should be restricted to places
dealing In dairy products exclusively. Such a
reform is being agitated. 1t stands to reason. he
says. that milk in shops where other merchandise
is sold must become contaminated
In investigating scales and weights Mr.. Pierce
has bought various articles Of food and other do

them away and found them under weight and under

says. have short measure receptacles. One or two
such dealers he has talked with have acknowledged

The Baptist General Association of Virginia In

patch received here yesterday. The dispatch said
that the cause OF this action dispute over the
word 'baptize" The Baptists published a Bible
in which the Greek original was translated from
the Greek as dipped" and the society refused to
aid the circulation OF these Bibles At the oitlces
of the Bible House the news was received with
some surprise and amusement A clergyman said
This is the first we have heard of it. but some
forty years ago there was "a split on the same
question. At the time speak OF the trouble was
caused by the demand OF the Baptsts that We print
a special edition for them alone, In which the

contrary to the purposes and tenets of the Ameri-

The Rev. Kerr B. Tupper, pastor of the Madison

tion of the Virginia Baptists:

In this body are prominent editors like DR. PIT ed

INTO any other language to convey an incor-

Shopping is a torn OF cruelty

an active condition in brides, and
arrives at it's most viruient stage

tY.ftth year of married life.
A small, delicate, slight, ner-

would faint away at an empty

seven hours. and come out re-

has it thrust upon her.

To the People Of Mississippi:

Open Letter of President Clark.
To the People Of Mississippi:
Did you contribute to the sup.
port of the Cotton Association
last year? 1t not, why? Do you
NOT know that it helped you out?
Are you now willing that it
shall 90 out OF business for lack
of funds? We ask of you only
the price of a small sample out
of each bale OF cotton you make.
Some OF the other states have
already paid their full share of
the operating expenses of the
National Association, and if the
people of Mississippi fail to come
up, / see nothing to do but dis
band; and this would be ex-
tremely Notifying to many OF
us after the brilliant lead OF last
year.
1t we fail to get the necessary
funds by the annual meeting,
Jan. End, | shall offer a -resolu
ton to disband; this, | think,
would be extremely unfortunate.
Ii you do not want to disband,
and wish to keep up the organi-
cation, pay to your county treas
urer at once any amount you
wish to contribute. l hope you
will not only do this, but that
you will send a good delegation
to jackson on Jan. End, and to
the Birmingham Convention,
Jan. 18th 10Th.
BY virtue of our cotton crop,
we ought to be the richest and
most prosperous people on earth;
yet, the fact remains that we are
not.
Please do not get discouraged
because everything has not gone
just right. DO your duty anu
let your neighbor alone, and |
feel sure you will be rewarded
perseverance paysl
I am receiving daily encour
aging letters, enclosing checks,
from various parts of the state,
and all say that the work should
be continued. Do your part
now, and let us make the Cotton
Association what it ought to be!
