Miss Florence Davis.

One of the most attractive offerings
of the theatrical season here will be
Miss Florence Davis and her excellent
company in a new comedy, Under
the Greenwood Tree" at the Auditor
ium, Tuesday night. Miss Davis, who
is most popular all through the South,
and whose annual visit here is re-
garded as an important event by dis
eliminating theatregoers, is said to
have acquired, this season, the best
play that she has ever had-"Under
the Greenwood Tree" dainty sylvan
comedy by Henry V. Esmond-best in
point of adaptability to this clever star
for report has it that the stellar role
of Mary Hamilton fits Miss Davis and
her delightful style of humor to a
nicely. 1t relates the experiences,
humorous and romantic, of a young
lady of wealth, who, to escape the
prosaic existence in London society,
buys a gypsy van and goes camping
in the forests with her female secre-
tary, and is full of the bright lines
and cleverly evolved complications
characteristic of Esmond's many sue
cessful plays. Elliott Dexter, the tai
ented young actor who has added
much to the success of Miss Davis and
her offerings in the past is again ap-
pearing with her this year in the lead
ing male role.

Pennsylvania State College will go
to Ithaca and attempt to repeat their

develop one of the most exciting con-
tests ever seen on Marshall Field.
Nebraska and Iowa will clash at Iowa
City. Indiana and Illinois will meet

THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Proven
ton of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their systems. about 90
per cent. of coughs, colds and penu-
monia might be avoided. These trou-
bles are simply the result of weakness
which produces a catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane. which is as
an internal skin of the body. When
this skin is weakened, it becomes in.
fected with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break
these delicate tissues and set up
soreness which produce what is in re-
ality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure
coughs and colds and prevent pneu-
monia is a medication which is alb
sorbed and carried by the blood so
that the diseased membrane is disin-
fected, cleaned. soothod and healed.
We have remedy which we honest
ly believe invaluable and unsurpassa-
BILE for the prevention and cure of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi-
lions. It is the prescription of a fam
GUS physician, who has an enviable
reputation of 80 years of cures gained
through the use of this medicine. We
promise to either effect a cure in
every case or/make no charge for the
medicine. We urge everybody in
Hattiesburg who has need of such a
medicine to try Reyall Muco-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not abso-
Lutte positive that We could substanti-
ate our claim in every particular. and
we see no reason why anyone should
hesitate to accept our offer and try
it, We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-
Tone. Prices soc and s1.O0. Some
times a SOC bottle is sufficient for a
cure AS a general thing. the most
chronic case is cured with an average
of three large bottles. Remember. the
medicine will cost you nothing if you
are not satisfied in every particular.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi.
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in &C ommon cold. Con,
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con.
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan.
ger turks in a cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure colo is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it sta
pie article of trade over large part Of
the world. For sale by Hays & Field

them, yet we sell as much of one as
we do Of all the others together, just
because the manufacturer Is everlast

IF SNOW NEVER FELL.
The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.

| Would Be Disastrous.
II all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none Of 1t was snow hundreds of thou.
sands of square miles Of the earths
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than a desert
The tremendous economic gain for the
world at large which results from the
difference between snow and rain is
seldom realized by the inhabitants OF
fertile and well watered lowlands.
1t Is in the extensive regions where
irrigation is a prime necessity In ag-
riculture that the special uses of snow
come chiefly into view. An through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
mountains and packing itself firmly in
the ravines. Thus in natures great
icehouse supply Of moisture is stored
up for the following summer.
All through the warm months the
hardened snow banks are melting
gradually. In trickling streams they
steadily feed the rivers which as they
flow through the valleys are utilized
for irrigation. If this moisture fell as
rain it would almost Immediately wash
down through the rivers, which would
hardly be fed at all In the summer
when the crops most needed water.
These facts are so well known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and in the subarid regions of the
west generally. They are not so well
understood In New Jersey or Ohio,
where snow is sometimes a pictur-
esque, sometimes a disagreeable. fea-
ture of winter. '
In all parts of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is of great value
as fertilizer Scientists, however, are
inclined to attach less Importance to
its service In soil nutrition-for some
regions that have no snow are exceed
ingly fertiIe-than to its worth as a
blanket during the months of high
winds. 1t prevents the blowing off of
the finely pulverized richness Of the
top soil This, although little per-
ceiyed, would often be a great loss
