JACKSON READY TO

Jackson, Tenn, Jan. 12.-Jackson
will furnish, it is said, at least 200
men for the work of building great
state highway from Memphis to Bris-
tol in one day. There Is much inter-
est nthe project in this county, and
with already many miles of splendid
pixies radiating from the city in all 5di-
rections, it is not believed that many
niles will have to be actually con-
structed. Experienced road builders
say that 200 workmen could easily do
all the work that will be necessary.
The Merchants association has
taken up the matter, and at a meeting
of the association the project was en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed, and it was the
sense of the meeting that 20 men
could easily be obtained for work of

uncooked meat of different kinds, but
in nearly every case the presence of
tape in the human system is due to
eating raw or very rare meat. All
meat of this kind is dangerous, for,
