to 10 points on the old crop months
and decline of 10 to IA points on the

tons and the weather over Sunday
was extremely favorable. kilograms
from all portions of the cotton belt
said that clear, dry weather was pre-
yailing and that with a little higher
temperatures conditions would be
ideal. Rapid progress in planting

cast indicated continued fair weather

Can't Get Away
From Il

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1914
per cent from total of 1Ol.O7
Considerable more than one-half OF Phos-
phate of Potash.
ANALYSIS of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium

Phosphate of Potash is considerable more
than one-half of ALL the mineral salts IN
the food.
DR.. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says; The
gray matter Of the brain is controlled en-
tirely by the inorganic cell-salt, POTASSIUM
Phosphate phosphate of Potash) This
salt unites with albumen and by the addltloh
of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray
matter of the brain. OF course. there is
trace of other salts and other organic matter
in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is
the chief factor, and has the power within
itself to attract, by its own law OF afhn1ty,
ali things needed to manufacture the elixir
of life"
Further on he says "The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the lacking
principle, and in colecular form, exactly as
nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and
grain. To supply defciencies-this Is the
only law of cure"
The natural conclusion is that if Phos-
phate of Potash is the needed mineral ele-
ment in brain and you use food which does
not contain it, you will have brain flag be-
cause its daily loss is not supplied.
On the contrary If you eat food known to
be rich i'm this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands Tor
building.
Mind does not work well on brain that
is broken down by lack of nourishment
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is nee
essary to good digestion.

COUNCIL WILL COLLECT
ALL DELINQUENT TAXES
City Marshal to Make House
toulouse Canvass

That the City Council intends in the
future to see that every effort pos.
stble is made to collect all taxes due
the municipality was made known al
last nights session of that body by a
resolution offered by Alderman White
and suggestion made by Alderman
Lee Allen to the effect that a house
toulouse canvass be made for the pur-
pose of securing such taxes.
Alderman Whites ordinance, which
was passed under a suspension of the
rules and by unanimous vote, pro-
vides for an amendment of Section II
of the city code of ordinances, where
by it shall be the duty of the Finance
committee of the City Council on or
Iabout April 1 of each year to thor
oughly examine the tax digest and tax
executions that have not been paid
with a view of ascertaining the solveh-
cy of said executions and the amount

by the mayor and council, it is pro

charge off said insolyent tax executions
On the ''insolyent tax digest"
Alderman Aliens suggestion, which
was followed by motion to the effect
that the city marshal be instructed
to make a house-tO-house canvass in
order to collect delinquent taxes, as
shown by the annual tax digest, is
supplementary to Alderman Whites
ordinance and provides a complete plan
whereby the city's past due taxes may
be more carefully attended to than
ever before. The Southern Auditing
Companys' report on the city's finan-
cial condition was cited by Alderman
Allen to show that the city has due
it more than 5000 in uncollected street
| taxes alone.
On resolution it was decided that
the north side of Jefferson street from
Lee to Winn be paved and curbed The
south side of this street has already
been paved and curbed, so that the
completion of the projected work be-
tween Lee and Winn will place the
street in first class condition
Several petitions for permits to build
small structures in different part OF
the city were granted.
