kept out OF their narrow, over-crowded
tenements? How is pure, vitalizing air
to be given the unfortunates attacked
by the mortal disease or about to be-
come its hos3less victims? How, l
ask, are all these beings to be saved
who, without fresh air cures, are
doomed to the contamination of their
surroundings and to certain death, I'M
less they can be treated in sanatoria
or in specials hospitals?
''The only renledy for all these evils
is to open sufficient number of day
sanatoria, of Erholungstatte as has
been done In Germany, institutions
which require infinitely smaller sums
for their construction, installment and
maintenance than ordinary sanatoria,
and may be set up in three months,
ready to give refuge to many consump-
tives and candidates for tuberculosis.
These cure stations, patterned on
the Erholungstatte, render such serv-
ice that the description of those at Ber-
lin--the first to be established--can
fail to interest all benevolent persons
alive to their public duties and desir-
ing by service or donations to help
found similar places.

retired for age in December, 1918. He
was one of the star graduates at the
United States military academy in the
class of June, 1873, and was accord
ngly appointed to the corps of en-
gineers.
He reached the grade of colonel In
February, 1908, and is now the senior
engineer officer of that grade. During
his 81 years active connection with
the army he has rendered efficient
service in connection with many i'm
portant engineering projects at Chi
cago, Detroit and st. Louis and in the
southern and western states.
AS an engineer expert he was chosen
% accompany the special congressional
commission on an inspection tour of
the principal waterways of Europe.
For many years he has been promi-
nently identified with the improvement
of the Mississippi river, and is now
stationed at st. Louis as division engi-
neer of the western division and presi-
dent of the Mississippi river commits

At meeting OF the live stock hoard
regulations were adopted providing
that no cattle shall move or be allowed
to move from the quarantined area, or
any part of the state, into Tunica,
Tate or DeSoto counties, which have
been proclaimed as free, nor shall any
cattle from such quarsntined area he
moved to any county in which the
work of eradication is being conducted.
The regulations are very full and
complete, embracing some dozen or
more sections, and will be vigorously
enforced, especially in these counties
in which operations are to be con-
Quoted.
The counties selected in which the
work of eradication is to be actively
carried on are grouped as follows:
Claiborne, Adams, Jefferson, Coahoma,
Benton, Pamela, Marshall, Warren,
Holmes, Kinds, Monroe, Lowndes.
Noxubee, Clay, Chickasaw.

U. S. Court Adjourns.


The regular May term OF United
States court was brought to close
Tuesday, when all the jurors were dis
charged and formal matters disposed
of, including orders and DEGREES in
matters of law and equity.
There was considerable business
disposed of during the term, much of
which was on the criminal side Of the
docket, there having been several post
office cases; in fact more of these of a
petty nature than for some years. The
most serious was against Silas Finch,
a negro, who purloined mail sack
from the railroad stat on at Morton
some months ago, opened it and went
through the mail matter. He was
cauht, and Jude Niles imposed SEN
tence of one year in the Georgia state
penitentiary.
Thomas G. Moore, white youth
from Lincoln county, was fined $50 and
given six months Jail sentence for
sending a Black Hand letter through
the mails, while a like sentence was
melted out to F. B. Barlow, Copiah
county man, who pleaded guilty to
sending obscene matter through the
mails.

Sociological Disease
But besides hygienic laws there are
other factors which, aiming to better
the living conditions of the laboring
classes, necessarily help also in the
combat against tuberculosis, for no one
today disputes the fact that tubercu-
losis is sociological disease. an
assessment, as it were, paid to the en-
vironment of physiological and moral
misery. 1t is essential, therefore, to at
tack the conditions pertaining to this
state of misery. In no other country
is duty to humanity as well understood
as in the United States, and nowhere
has it called forth more generous in
itiative. In no other country is the dig
nifty of humanity SO highly respected
and the individual so effectually sue
cored. Everything is done to disarm
the worst eventualities of fortune and
help the wretched. l have felt myself
drawn into this humane contest from
desire to second the efforts of those
who, knowing that pure air is one of
the best means of attack against tuber-
culosis, would give New York fresh air
cures.
ITO accomplish this what is more
simple than to make known what
have seen, admired and studied in Ger
many, and especially in Berlin, where
the fresh air cures do invaluable serv-
ice and are considered as among the
best weapons in the arsenal of those
institutions which constitute the Ger

THERE WILL BE NO PRIMARY.
First Ordered Senatorial Primary Then
FIopred Over.


After dallying throughout practical
ly the eI5ire day over the question
whether or not they should order
special primary election to be held
this year in order to settle the senate
rial question, as between Messrs. Var
daman and Percy, and after first adopt
ing resolution making provision for
such primary, the state executive
committee Saturday reversed it's posi-
tion.
This means that there will be no
special primary in November, or at
any other time, this year, for senate
rial nominations, but that the matter
will be passed up to be settled in the
regular primary election OF 1911.
The principal cause that brought
about this change of front was the
very positive and plainspoken declara.

Demurraae Conference.

Railroad Commissioner John A.
Webb visited Meridian on Saturday to
attend a conference of the Meridian
Board Of Trade, between wholesalers,
jobbers, manufacturing lumbermen
and Others interested in general trans
portation matters. The matter to be
discussed is adapting the demurrage
rules adopted by the national associa-
ton of railroad commissioners and
later promulgated by the interstate
commerce commission to be enforced
throughout the country. 1t is what is
technically known as the general aver
age rule of demurrage which has to be
studied and applied to local tariffs,

for Mississippi normal college was
taken when the board OF trustees ap

of the legislature providing for that
institution met and effected working
organization by selecting Prof. T, p.

secretary. The board decided to call
for proposals from the towns and coun-
ties, or both, which are anxious to
compete for the location of the college.
IL was decided to specify in the ofr-

or an equivalent in bonds, together
with deed to at least Sky acres Of

Argue New County Case.

Attorney General Hudson has re-
turned from Columbia, where he went
to argue the contention of the stae in
the Walthall county mandamus pro-
ceedngs over the question whether or
not the commissioners for the special
election held during April in order to
decide whether the people residing in
the dismembered sections of Pike and
Marion county weer willing to indorse
the action of the legislature in the
passage Of the new county bill, should
accept the returns from Slade box. The
position of the attorney general is that
it was the duty of the managers of the
election at the precinct in question to
rule on the legality of those offering
to vote, and it was not in the province
OF the election commissioners to go be-
hind their returns. He contends that
there is plenty of law to cover this
position, and it is probable that the
supreme court will be called upon to
construe the point.

While in London in February of last
year he suddenly disappeared, and by
some means he reached New South

there recently when the horses started

After lying unconscious for three days
he recovered, and then remembered
who he was. He at once wrote to his
friends, and is now on his way home.
