Eat all the good food you like.
Quit dieting. You don't have to diet
to cure dyspepsia. In fact you can
not cure dyspepsia or indigestion that
way, rather you must add strength to
the weak stomach by taking some
thing that will digest the food which
the stomach cannot digest. Kodol is
the only thing known today that will
do this, tor Kodol is made Of natural
digestive juices found in a healthy
stomach, and it digests sll food com
pletely. Kodol is pleasant to take,

RED CROSS PROPERTY
CONTINUED from page one.)

work are anxious to enroll a large
number of our people. Names handed
to the secretary, together with the
dues, will be reported by the secre-
tary along with the other names, on
June 1. Major w. L. Simpson. who
has been so officially active in the gov
eminent relief work was by unanimous
vote of those present elected member
of the Hattiesburg branch of the Red
Cross, and his name will appear at the
head of the list of membership.
The National Red Cross has inau-
gurated campaign for increasing the
membership, and Mr.. e. R. tombstone,
long connected with the press and with
the Associated Press, has been made
National Registrar. This campaign for
membership has the hearty endorse
ment Of President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Taft, Secretary Root, VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan, Maj. Gen. Bell, chief of
staff Of the United States army, and
Melville Il. Stone, manager of Assoc
ciated Press.
While 1t Is true that the American
Red Cross has disbursed immense
sums in great calamities, 1t has a
smaller assured income than the Red
Cross Of any of the leading nations.
The income of the Japanese Red Cross
exceeds million dollars year from
membership dues alone. 1t was from
funds collected from membership that
the American National Red Cross
wired $1,000 to Hattiesburg within one
hour after receipt of request from
Major G. A. Devol, sent Immediately
after his arrival here, subsequent to
the late storm.

John Sharp Williams.

Milk and water Democrats have crit
icised John Sharp Williams for the
passage of the bill to cut down the rep
resentation of the south in congress-
charging it largely to the enmity en-
gendered by the filibustering tactics
= adopted by the minority leader several
weeks ago.
Some Of the newspapers have even
intimated that if Mr.. Williams had
been wholly subservient to the Repuh-
lican majority, the south would have
Jared much better, and got more bene-
fits.
But the News is glad that Mr.. VIII.
4iams is not a "boot-licker" and that
he has not seen fit to compromise the
south by entering into an unholy al
lance for Immediate profit at the ex
pense of the section which he repre-
sents.
Mr.. Williams is not afraid of a re
duction Of the south's representation
in congress. The putting into effect o
the proposed reduction would be tan
tamount to an admission Of the con
surutionai right OF the southern state,

and the Republican party Is not going

1t is understood that Governor Noel

fetal document will be signed tomor-

Early this morning 1t was stated that
the Governor had already issued the
pardon, but it seems that he has only
signified his willingness to do SO. A
message received in this city from a
prominent Meridian lawyer this morn
ing stated that the governor first
wanted to hear from Weidman as to
the state of his health and as to his

to commit itself to that theory JUS
now.
The News suspects that the passage
of the bill to reduce the representa-.
ton of the south in congress was an
effort to whip Mr. Williams into line.
No. more. No less.
But it didn't work.
John Sharp Williams isn't built that
way.
He is a grand southern knight, and
Mississippi and the south is proud OF
the fight which he has stubbornly
waged against overwhelming odds.

Need of a Hospital.

Several days ago the News called
attention to the need of charity
hospital in Hattiesburg and suggest
ed that the county and city make small
appropriations for a joint institution
along modest lines.
Numbers of citizens have commend
ed the plan and it is possible that the
matter will be brought to the attention
OF the city council and the board of
supervisors.
AS the largest city of South Missis-
sippi, with railroad facilities surpassed
by no other point in the state, the
News feels confident that the state leg
islature will readily recognize Hat
tiesburg's claim for an appropriation.
But the people of Hattiesburg must
first make a start. The legislature
would not be likely to make an appro-
priation for new hospital, unless this
beginning we're made on the part of
our own people.
The columns of the News are open
to discussions of the subject.
