this, as all other large affairs. the
services of a caterer are required. All
luncheons and dinners of less than 40
guests are managed by the regular do
nestle staff at the White House.
There are on an average three a week.
At each state reception the guests
invited to the blue room, generally
about eighty in number, are enter
tanned at supper at the close of the re-
ception. These affairs cost about $500
each.
The dinners of courtesy to visiting
foreigners and important government
officials depend largely upon the rank
of the visitor. The expense of all
these is borne by the president.
The presidents secretary has the
entire charge of the Office and the
clerical STAFF. The chief usher keeps
a close watch on the caretakers of the
entire first floor no tourist visitors
being admitted until the morning dust
ing is finished
The steward purchases all supplies
and looks after the basement. There
are cook, assistant cook, butler and
pantry men.
The laundry is charge of Uncle
Sam, likewise the furnishing and care
of the linen, china, silver and flowers.
President Roosevelt brought his
own riding horses from Sycamore Hill.
likewise his carriages. The service at
the White House is a government ex-
pense and is sufficient for all practical
purposes. There are always personal
attendants for the family, who are
paid by the president.
The appropriation of $4,000 for
travelling expenses has been necessary.
since a president cannot travel as a
private citizen, alone or alone with
his family, but he must be accom-
panied by a large retinue of secret
service men, his secretary, stenog-
rapher and personal friends

Brandon Wants the Postal.

A goodly delegation of Brandon bust
ness men was before the railroad com
mission to protest against the applica-
ton of the Postal Telegraph Company
to be permitted to close up their office
in that historic little city. The COM
pany represented in their petition that
the business does not justify the maixte-
nance of an office there, and that it is
losing money each month. The commit
tee pointed out that the Postal is the
only office which is located in their bus
mess district, the office of the Western
Union being kept at the depot.

Hygiene and Sanitation.

To launch a statewide campaign of

the important subjects discussed at the
annual meeting of the Mississippi Medi-

on April IL, 10 and IA.
For several months the State Board
of Health has been waging an agrees
i've campaign of education on santa

One object the State Health Board
hopes to accomplish is to secure more
adequate legislative recognition of the
Importance of the campaign. Among
other things, the State Board would like
to see State charity hospital and bac-

an order requesting the Encouragement
to bring suits against the Yazoo & Mis-

Southern Demurrage and Storage Com
pany, and the Louisiana Car Service As
ssGation, for violating the demurrage

In spite of these accessory helps,
however the salary proper has proved
a scant subsistence with the scale of
entertaining demanded by present
standards.
The state dinners, of which there
are three each year, cost more than
$4,000. Inc cabinet dinner, beginning
the season, averages between $500 and
$500. The diplomatic dinner, the
most pretentious of all, averages
about $1,000. The dinner to the SUI
preme court, for which, like the cab
met dinner, there are about forty per

amount.

The Pearl and other interior streams

Oil Mills Shut Down.

Three of the four cottonseed oil mills
located in jackson have closed down
and only one will run until about May l.
There has been a decided advance in
the demand and the price for oil mill
products lately in this section, due to
many causes. Probably the greatest OF
these is the more general use of cotton
seed meal for fertilizing purposes, due,
in some measure, to the fact that many
farmers are this year mixing their own
fertilizers, purchasing the ingredients
separately, and using this meal as the
principal ingredient.
