1t is mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes

OF long standing this liniment should
be used on account Of the relief which
1t affords. Do not be discouraged

says that he did not attend the Press
Association at Hattiesburg because of
a lack of money nd clothes. If he had
gone to Hattiesburg, he would have
found that the people were so liberal
and hospitable that no money would
have been needed, and if necessary
they no doubt would have furnished
the raiment. If you had known what

The annual meeting of the Missis-
sippi Press Association took place
in Hattiesburg last week and from
reports sent out it seems to have been
a very successful and interesting
meeting. Hattiesburg is one of the
most progressive and wide-awake
towns in the state and it was expected
that the hospitality of her splendid
people would be dispensed with law
ish hand. The next meeting will be
held in the historic and interesting
city of vicksburg beside the big water

In the grist of 1.-The Red Mill' as It
was ground out at the Grand last
night, there was much that is fine and
that made the entertainment rather
was disappointing after the wonder
fully great things that had been prom
ised for it. Perhaps too much was ex-
pected. Just the same, the audience
left the theater feeling somewhat UNI
satisfied.
1t was presented by a large COM
pany, gorgeously costumed in the
quaint garbs affected by the Dutch of
Holland. The stage settings for the
piece were attractive, especially those
for the first scene showing a street
near the water front and a real red
mill. There is something of story to
the plot, which is rather pretty tale
and is told in a skillful fashion and
this is unusual in musical SHOW
There are two comedians in the COM
pany, John Ford and William H. Swor,
who are quite good enough to travel in
any company of comedians and this Is
particularly true of Mr.. Ford, who Is
a fun-maker of great ability and a
wonderful dancer. But with all these
good points there was something lack
ing in the piece and it seemed to lie
in the music, or perhaps in the way 1T
was interpreted by the principals, none
of whom would ever take any medals
in vocal contests. For show with the
ing abilities of those who held the title
parts were away below par. The music
for the piece was written by Victor
Herbert, but he certainly was not in
felicitous moods when he wrote it.
There are a number of good songs in
the piece but they depend for their sue
cess on the cleverness of the words
rather than on the catchineSS OF the
music. Perhaps the song hit of the
piece was Every Day is Ladies' Day
With Me- which was sung by Maurice
LIE Vigne who played the part of the
Governor of iceland. Mr.. La Vigne
and Miss Sadie Kirby, as Bertha, the
Burgomaster's Daughter" also made
a hit with their duet, Because You re
YOU" but probably because this served
to introduce the six diminutive Dutch
Riddles, three little girls and three
small boys, who with a quaint little
dance got the real applause Of the show
and shared the honors Of the evening
with Mr.. Ford.
1.-The Red MilP' is a good show but
it Is not one to get into a frenzy OF
excitement over, unless it might be
presented with a more capable lot of
singers but then they would not be
able to do overly much with the music
which falls their way. AS a medium
for lots Of fun-making by Mr.. Ford and
Mr.. Swor, the piece is a grand success
and the two comedians are not slow
to take advantage Of the many
opportunities offered them Mr.. Dilling

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS

Does your back ache? Do you get
up lame in the morning? Do you feel
ouH and tired? Does it hurt you to
bend over, to lift anything, to get up
from a chair? Do you have sudden
catches or stitches of pain in the
back? Does dull, throbbing ache
settle in the small of your back and
bother you day and night? Do you
sometimes feel that you simply can
not straighten up?
If you do have backache. be careful
not to make the very common mistake
OF treating it as muscular trouble.
Do not rub the sore place with lini-
ment, nor put on plasters, for the seat
of the trouble is inside-in the kidneys,
which lie just beneath the small of the
back, on either side of the spine
A cold, chill a fever. overwork

the kidneys that will at once interrupt

1t is this condition that sets up the
aching, and makes your back so bad.
You can not make any mistake by
treating the kidneys at once, for it is
these small troubles that lead to
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.

steel cars been in use, 1t Is argued, this
loss of life might have been averted.
In this connection it is urged that
some Uniform type Of equipment
should be adopted. AS yet the use of
steel passenger equipment has not
passed through the experimental
stage, and 1t is desirable that the best
the outset. In this. as in many other
respects, the Pennsylvania road has
been the pioneer. From it's expert
ments thus far it is reported to have
decided not to order any more wooden
equipment.
It is further reported, however,
that the passage of the bill referred to
will be strongly resisted by several
important roads. They do not wish
to be placed under any compulsion in
the matter. They think it should be
left to the roads to take care Of their
own needs. and urge that as soon as
the superiority of the new style car
has been demonstrated. and the Ids
find themselves in position to adopt
their use, they will provide them
as rapidly as their circumstances will
warrant.
Against this proposed delay in &C
ton, however, 1t will be urged that an
emergency exists, and in support Of
this view it will be pointed out that in
the nineteen years since the Inter
state Commerce commission was or
ganized, nearly 5000 passengers and
over $4,000 employees. besides nearly
10000 other persons. have been
killed by the railroads. that nearly
100000 more have been crippled and
that the rate steadily is increasing.

Having secured its object in the

promoting a bill, which it wants
