practical APPLICATION of the principles in

ations necessary to the supply OF food
and drink, (the latter limited to tea,
coffee, cocoa and chocolate) to soldiers
in the field. The training OF bakers
and cooks for the army has received
considerable attention from the war de-
Dartment. with the result that there are
now in the country three military cook

BY C. ID. Lewis.
Had you asked any inhabttant OF the
village of Glendale over ten years OF
age about the Widow Clifton and her
daughter Bessie. you would nave re-
ceived the following summary:
Been a widow several years; nus
band didn't leave her much; mousse
and lot are mortgaged for ffteen nun
dred dollars, and how they are ever go-
ing to pay II off l can't see They used
TO be stuck up. but have had to come
down; widow sews and Bessie gives
painting and music lessons Some folks
say that the girl expects to marry a
rich man, but she'll die of old age first.
She may be good looking, but what does
q rich man want of a poor girl?'
1t was true that Bessie gave les
sons. as stated, and that dresses were
made in the house. There were no
relatives to come to their financial as
sistance when the husband and father
died, and the mother and daughter had
to work or starve But for the
mortgage they could have pulled along
fairly well 1t was their horror. They
knew they never could pay 1t. 1t was
so near the value of the village house
and lot that If any one bought the place
there would be vsgy little left over and
above.

Probably no other medicine ever

same amount of discussion as Coop

troduced In the Leading cities durins
the last two years by L. I. Cooper the
young philanthropist.
Cooper claims that most stomach
trouble Is caused by internal parasites
or tape worms and that his medicine
will drive these creatures from the
human system almost Immediately.
Thousands of people in various
cities visited by Mr.. Cooper have
taken this preparation for chronic
stomach trouble and have been re-
lieved of one of these creatures. In
consequence his medicine has sofa
like wildfire wherever introduced.

Publicity the Remedy for Child Labor
Abuses.

Woman's Home Journal
The effect of widespread publicity
in reforming evil conditions, be they
political or commercial, is proved In
the case of child labor. few years
ago but little was heard on the sub
ject; todav there is not State In the
Union without some form of legisla-
ton connected with the employment
of children DR.. Samuel McCune Lind
say, secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee. believes that the
reform already achieved has come
about mainly through the arousing OF
public sentiment by the magazines and
newspaper press. In writing on this
subject he says: "a shrewd and typ,
ical business man, not much given TO

The question is to get the facts before

hind or pushes questions that have
secured a hearing, where 1t should
lead in demanding a hearing for a
new important cause. That the child

Circuit Court.

The February term of the Cir
cult court convened Monday and
in the absence of Judge Sykes,
who is still unable to preside over
his courts, Governor Vardaman
commissioned Col. w. L. Clayton
to hold the Lee county term. The
charge of Judge Clayton was
comprehensive and in his usual
forceful style the grand jury
was instructed as to the law
touching such subjects as it was
required to investigate. The
charge was characteristic of the
man whose knowledge of the law
covers the range of the old COM
mon law and its subsequent
changes by statute, and nothing
was left untouched that should
have been referred to. The grand
jury was urged to do their full
duty and to not present any one
through malice, or to leave any
one guilty of infractions Of the
law unpresented through fear or
favor. Mr.. Lon Dulaney, of Gun
town, was sworn as foreman of
the grand jury.
The state is being represented
by District Attorney Geo. 7.
Mitchell, who is one of the most
astute and vigorous prosecutors
in the state. The dockets, both
civil and criminal, are heavy and
twill require the full two weeks
to dispose of the most important
business before the court. In
addition to the very heavy crimi-
nal docket in our own county,
two murder cases were sent down
from Prentiss county on a change
of venue to this county. The

disposed Of and the felony cases
