A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

The Gulf G Ship Island manage
ment find themselves in an awkward
predicament in this city, which is ne
fault of the management, and for
which they should not be held who'll,
responsible. We refer to the mat
ter of providing accommodations fol-
the travelling public at their depot in
this city.
The railroad commission is charged
with the duty of seeing to it that
toilet rooms are provided, with sup
plies, and in good condition, yet it
is a fact that it is almost impossible
to keep supplies in the toilet rooms,
because they are continually being
stolen, and it seems impossible for
the company to prevent 1t.
1t occurs to The News that there
is a good chance for our police Off
Gals to do a little probing in this
matter, and begin by driving loafers,
of all classes, out of the waiting
rooms, for these conveniences are
only for the people who travel on
the road and not for the loafing pub
lie. Certainly the Gulf & Ship Is
land are entitled to police protection,
and it may be that the reason they
have not had it is because their local
representatives have not demanded 1t
but whatever the reason it ought to
be possible to stop the stealing of
toilet supplies, which the road is ready
and willing to furnish, but which can
not be maintained under present con
ditions.

HATTIESBURG MAN
GETS PATENT ON
NOVEL MATCHBOX

Mr.. Henry M. King Of this city
has just received notice from his
patent lawyers In Washington that
he has been granted a patent on a
match box which is one of the best
of its kind we have ever examined;
in fact, 1t seems to embody all the
needed points of twentieth century
match box, as applied to present
needs.
The talking points of the invention
appeals to the cigar dealer especially,
who finds that his match bills are
continually growing because of the
that customers exhibit

he box when buying a cigar or a

CORN BREAD.

Some time ago a man wrote al
article that said the disease pellagrs
is caused by corn bread. A docto:
of some reputation fell into the error
and Endorsed the theory.
Now a commission has Investigated
and can find no fact to support the
theory. 1t was a shame to give an
immature theory to the world. It
may do some good, however.
In the great corn belt,' as it is
called, corn does not always have
time to mature and is gathered and
becomes unfit for use. Mules fed on
western corn often die as all farmers !,
know. In the South corn ripens IN
September and October and Is rarely
gathered before the latter part of Oc-
ober In upper Alabama. It Is the
est corn in the world for bread or
nimals.-Birmingham Ledger.

package Of cigarettes.


This safe is made SO that it will
hold box of matches, which are
locked up, and from which only one
match can be taken at a time, ant
when that is pulled out it is already
| lighted, which makes it worthless for
storage in the vest pocket or match
safe.
The working model of the safe
which Mr.. King is showing Is made
of copper, and is arranged with a
hopper inside which feeds one match
at time into the bottom where there
is device which is pushed forward
and pulled back, and in doing so the
end of the match sticks out enough
so that the operator can pull it OIL,
and as he does SO 1t is ignited.
Mr. King has interested several
Hattieaurg men in his patent, and
ne proposes to establish a factory
lere for the manufacture If he cah
enlist the local capital necessary. He

There is no subject concerning the
health Of the general public, which
is receiving more attention than the
campaign that ought to be waged
everywhere against flies and mosqui-
toes. Both of these insects can be
kept with reasonable bounds, and the
mosquito can finally be exterminated
in lots Of places If the right kind of
an effort is made. The house fly is
really more of menace than the mos
quito. hence there is need for greater
vigilance in guarding against this
ubiquitous pest.

time to educate people to new ways
of saving the people thousands of

it careful consideration in Hatties-

Experimenting.

Experimenting is good thing and
necessary along plain as well as scien-
tific lines, but il must be gauged within
some safe limit 1t is as harmful
if overdone as it is If left entirely un-
done.
Our fruit districts seem to be having
some experiences, as an illustration.
Spraying became necessary against in
sect pests.
College theories put in practice are
now admitted to have been harmful
where too great an amount of poison
Gus sprays were used or where used too
often. Yet in most cases the formulas
were prescribed and not only advised
but laws adopted enforcing their use.
1t is up to the farmer to read. study
and do much of his own experimenting.
which he is in a position to do better
than almost anyone else.

Keep Your Pluck.

When you acknowledge you're down
and out, you're licked. But so long as
you swear that you won't give that
you'll hang on and hang on until you
win, no matter how hard you were
cuffed and kicked, no matter how sadly
your faith was tricked-if you just
remember what brought you low and
keep away from the undertow, its only
matter of holding tight before you re
back in the big worlds fight! But the
man who pines and the man who whines
who skulks away from the skirmish
lines; who hasn't the grit to swing and
hit, and slug his way, never counts
bit. He isn't worth bothering over n
minute-he's out of the game and
never was in it. A man who is really
man keeps his luck, so long as he
keeps good chest full of pluck.

Dead Animals in Streams.

Over the country there are dead ami
mails, mostly cattle that have died,
scattered along water courses and
bitches. 1t is suggested by DIR. Bur-
CESS, health officer, that these should
be removed, as their presence is likely
to polute the streams and cause i'll
health. Notices have been served for
the removal of such dead animals in
all cases cited, but the Doctor thinks
those cognizant of their presence at
any point should. as an act of common
duty, see that they are removed from
bitches and streams.
