CHEESE AND VOTES.

Some thirty years ago English up per circles considered it very un- ladylike to eat cheese. Cheese was looked upon as purely a masculine prerogative. too coarse for the deli cate appetites of women who. wheth- CT they liked them or not. must eat sweets. If a woman dared profess a liking for cheese she was consider ed unrefined and unladylike. This idea seems absurd to us now, when cheese is used in every household and in many it is an important item of the family menu. often serving as a substitute for meat.

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Determined to Improve Health Condi.
tions in Mississippi.

Jackson.-During the past summer
the public health inspectors working
under the direction of the Mississippi
State Board of Health have made con-
siderable investigation in regard to
the health conditions in Mississippi.
1t is the purpose of the board to use
every legitimate method to reduce
the mortality from infectious and pre-
ventable diseases.
At a recent conference of those men
in Jackson, it was shown that the re-
suits of this work are of the most en-
couraging nature. The health prob
lens in Mississippi are similar to
those in other states, but it is fact
that this work among our people has
been greatly neglected in the past.
The work which is being done in
the state of Mississippi at present viii
result in great good to the people, and
nothing can be of more service, and
make a better impression abroad, then
for this state to show that it is careful
to protect and conserve the health,
life and material resources OF her peo-
pie.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS BETTER
State Farms Will Tide Things Over
For the Present.

Jackson.-The finances of the state
are not so gloomy as they were week
or more ago. The big state farms
have come to the rescue, or at least
they are preparing to do so, by having
their cotton crop sinned as speedily
as possible. There are now on han1
something like 700 bales of cotton al
ready ginned and ready for market,
raised on these farms. At a meet
ing of the prison trustees the advisa-
bility of placing this cotton on the
market was discussed, the sentiment
seemingly favor doing so.
With the prices that are now being
paid, this cotton would bring in the
neighborhod of $10O per bale, or some
thing like $4,000 in the aggregate.
This would tide things over for the
time being, enable the state to meet
its obligations which are now due, or
will be in a short while, and grease
the wheels of government until the
bond issue can be disposed of.
The governor is very much encoIr-
aged over the prospects of a speedy
disposition of these bonds. He is re-
ceiving letters every day making in
quiries about them, and believes that
in a very short while he will be able
to place the last of the series.
There are some big obligations that
must be met shortly, but it now looks
as if the stae will be able to dispose
of all her promises to pay without put
ting the holders Of these promises to
the necessity of having to wait for
their money.

of the revolution, committed suicide
Tuesday in the belief that the plans
had miscarried and that the Repubh-

by a military officer precipitated the

and self-government. Establish a sys-
tenn of justice that will ensure essen
tial liberty to all, abolish the police
magistrates, investigate the expulsion
of monks and nuns, close the Roman
Catholic schools. compel the civil reg
istration of births, deaths and mar
riages, separate church and state, and
strengthen the nations credit and
finances.

CARRY OWN INSURANCE.
Pententiary Trustees Will Assume
Fire Risks.

The trustees of the Mississippi PEN
itentiary have decided to carry their
own insurance. The money that has
been paid out in premiums heretofore
will be laid aside, instead of paid over
for policies.
The last legislature enacted a law
allowing the state institutions to carry
their own insurance, and the peniten-
tiary trustees have taken advantage
of this. Several other state institu-
ions decided some time ago not to
take out fire insurance policies, be-
lieving it would be the part Of econ
omy to carry their own risks.
The University is one of these insti-
tutions, while the A. & M. and l. l..
& Co. are included in the list. The
legislature did not make any appro-
priation for these institutions to pay
premiums, and the state will carry the
risk instead.
