one MILLION DOLLARS
FOR 4 GOOD
STOMACH.
This Offer Should be a Warning to
Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour-
nails have had much to say relative
to famous millionaire's offer of a
million dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton OF his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurable
His misfortune should serve as a
warning to others. Every one who
suffers with dyspepsia for a few
years will give everything he owns
for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnor-
NAL state Of gastrics juices There
is one element missing-Pepsin The
absence of this destroys the func-
ton OF the gastric fluids. They lose
their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the
pepsin in a form almost Identical to
that naturally created by the system
when in normal health, so that it re-
stores to the gastric juices their di-
gestlve power, and thus makes the
stomach strong and we'll.
We want everyone troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store and obtain box of Rexall

pared by process which develops

"A TRIBUTE TO HELEN COL

To him, who, i'm the love of ma
ture, holds communion with her Wis
ib1e form, she speaks a various lam
glageu
For his gladder hours she has a
voice of gladness and for his sadder
hours a voice of sadness. She Lifts
the trodden blade and laves it with
her tears; she guides the uncertain
course of the rapid stream of years,
and BRINGS us all to our common des-
TINY.
But what lis nature but a mys-
terious divination OF our God-the
immutable, omniscient and merciful
Ruler of The Universe, whose glory
we cannot conceive and whose Holy
Will we dare not contemplate.
Though the still small voice of
Death may whisper to us, Come, and
our spirit takes it's flight, let us re
alize that we live but to die; we die
but to live, and life through death
i'm the physical world is a principle
flndam entail.
Death is not death, but life lis life
to her whose voice is stilled ON earth
to mingle with the celestial chorus.
Loss and pain mean joy and gain
to her whose willing spirit bade a
ready welcome to the Heavenly Call.
The Great Gardener has plucked a
choice flower from bleeding hearts,
and snapped golden cord but our
great loss is Heavens greater gain,
and our sacrifice, Gods sweet SAVIOR.
The silent statue, verdant mound
and whispering pines speak loudly
to the flesh but let our souls trans
ported be to Gods eternal throne,
and listen there to gladly hear the
voice we called our own. "P."

A SUGGESTION.

The News would prefer that state
convicts be put to work on state
roads, but, if that cannot be done,
the next best solution of the vexed
question is to sell off the state farms
that are i'm fine state of cultivationb
i'm small tracks, to actual white set
lers, at market value of such lands,
and buy other lands, either wooded
or overflowed lands and have con-
vict labor put such lands into culti-
vation to be sold off and others OF
similar character purchased.
1t would eliminate the convict la
Dor from competing with the farmer
i'm raising cotton. They could raise
enough corn from the new grounds
to feed them and enough hogs to
provide meat.
OF course the profit ON the cotton
crop would be lost to the state, which
could we'll afford to do without it
when the lands so brought into cultf-
vatiom would enhance many times DIN
value, and sell at a price that would
more than equal the profit on cotton
raising, besides the amount realized
from the timber sold off the wooded
hands,
Mississippi has thousands of acres
that need drainage that would be val
uable additions to assessemnt rolls
If properly ditched.
Worked under the above plan the
convict labor would be of lasting be-
nefit to the state. which would lose
nothing i'm the way OF income, and
make good homes for people out OF
land that is now practically worthless.
