 Lee Is the Best for
 Mississippi.
ALL KICKS ARE BLOCKED

Jackson, Miss, October 2S.-(Special.)- The Universities of Alabama and Missis- sippi played vigorous game of football on the Jackson gridiron today before a crowd of 2000 people, Though neither side ever made a touchdown, Mississippi forced the playing from start to finish and on two or three occasions attempted to kick goal from the field, but fell short
 Both teams were on their mettle and fought hard through both halves. They were very evenly matched in weight and knowledge of the game. Alabama used her well known military formation on several occasions and 1t generally gave them a few yards, but it was successfully blocked after a few trials and other for nations were tried.
 It was the consensus of opinion that Mississippi outplayed the visitors, though unable to score. The Mississippians pushed Alabama back inch by inch, nu- merous buckings resulting in no gain. As usual Lee carried off the honors for the Mississippians and Pratt's terrific kicks were the feature for Alabama The game ended at 5:30 o'clock, the halves being 8 minutes each.

 The blood is alkaline in chemical re- action and its alkalinity alone will kill many germs. Then, the blood also forms antitoxins which neutralize the polsons formed by the bacteria.
