while it is practically assured, thus

satisfactory, as the county assessor

realizes that the state must have a
new constitution.
South Mississippi, for a time in the
recent past, was discussing the ad-
visibility of putting out a candidate
for governor and make the question
of constitutional convention direct
issue. This talk ceased after time,
but has again been revived and there
seems a strong probability of South
Mississippi man making the race for
governor on this platform. That part
of the state has Deen fighting for such
convention for years, and to those
who understand conditions, it would
not be surprising If that part of the
state put out candidate.
Governor Noel has intimated that
he thought the time was approaching
when a constitutional convention
would be necessary, and here are some
who believe the next legislature will
call one. Such measure would have
been passed at the last session If the
governor would have recommended it.
Enough votes had been pledged to it,
it was claimed, to insure its passage
by both the house and senate, but
executive sanction could not be seclr-
ed for such a measure to be intro
duced.
If constitutional convention is
called by the next legislature, there
will be some important changes in the

that the flames enveloped the whole

We're all frame and in the course Of
an hour there were about twenty-five
OF these structures in ashes. Among
the principal losses were the Dixie
Theatre. the Commercial Hotel, R. F.
Wylie, livery and undertaking estab-
lishment, and many small restaurants
that were in the path of the fire, which
at one time threatened the destruction
of the postoffce.
Owing to the constructions and the
close proximity of the buildings to
each other, the insurance rate was ex-
orbitant and there was but little in
surance carried on any of the proper
ty. There were many narrow escapes
by persons sleeping in the CONNER

were rescued in their night clothing
from the burning buildings.

First Lieutenant William r. Rezie-

BABIES ARE FED TOO OFTEN.
Dyspepsia And How to Avoid 1t, As
Told by New York Specialist.

New York, Feb. ia champion Of
the great American doughnut has
arisen. Likewise for the great Ameri-
can institution of pie for breakfast, and
hog and hominy whenever there is the
most need for it. So American house
wives can now let that Chicago pro-
fessor rave-that professor, who, only
short time ago, declared that Amer
lean cooking was the cause of our be-
ing essentially a nation of dyspeptics.
The man who upholds the great
American doughnut is DR.. Mark |.
Knapp, specialist in stomach trou-
bles. Doctor Knapp, who. besides be-
ing a specialist, is the author of a
number of treatises on the subject
and reference in this country and
have been translated into several diff
ferent languages-gives more logical
reasons for Americans being a prey to
stomach troubles, especially the dread
dyspepsia.
Before l tell you why is dyspep-
STA | want to tell you how it can be
avoided Begin with the babies.
Nearly everyone who is suffering from
stomach trouble, and thinks it is be-
cause of something eaten recently, has
been afflicted since his babyhOod. The
mothers do not know how to feed their
children. They think the only thing to
do every time the baby cries is to
stuff a milk bottle into its mouth. The
result if not death-as is too often the
case-is a lifetime of dyspepsia. If
the child escapes this disease in baby
hood however, care must not be re-
laXed 1t must extend to the school
child.
(Which reminds me that one of the
gravest faults of the school system is
that there is not a sufficient intermis-
sion between the two daily terms.
Children cannot be expected to hurry
home, bolt their food, as they have to.
then run back to school-and be free
from dyspepsia.
"If mothers want a nation free from
dyspepsia let them feed the babies
less. the school children less and soft
er and more digestible foods for their
luncheons; and let the school teachers
agitate to give longer time for that
luncheon"
