The DRAINAGE
QUESTION UP
irrigation Congress viii Endeavor to
Secure Favorable Legislation
All States Interested.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 2S.-Drain the
swamp and overflow lands of the
United States Is slogan of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress which par
ticularly interests those states having
large bodies of land which require
drainage for their reclamation. The
drainage question is one which inter-
ests every state in the union and is
causing all sections of the country to
take unusual interest in the nine
teenth annual meeting of The Ma
tional Irrigation Congress at Chicago
December to 8.
This great development organiza-
ton has been one of the leaders in
the work to have the overflow lands
reclaimed through cooperation of ma
tional, state an Individual efforts
under a plan similar to that by which
reclamation through reclamation has
accomplished such wonders through
out the Western states. Special at
tention will be given this year at the
Chicago meeting to this matter which
is Of such direct interest to the states
of the South and middle West
At the Pueblo meeting last year the
Irrigation Congress adopted a resolu-
ton regarding drainage as follows
Recognizing the economic waste and
menace to the public health connected
with the vast areas of swamp and
overflow lands, we request our repre-
sentatives in the federal congress to
take suitable action looking toward
the reclamation of such lands under
a policy corresponding with that OF
the reclamation of arid lands by irri
cation under the reclamation service;
such reclamation of swamp and over
flow lands to be carried forward
through cooperation between indi
vidual owners, states and the federal
government"
At the Chicago meeting special eff
orts will be made to further this poll

lions as to the tariff board plan.
From the formal statemS ITS of the
Democratic leaders, it is practically
certain that revision of at least two
or three of the schedules of the Payne
Aldrich act will be undertaken.
Shortly after the new congress con-
venes the house will probably pass the
constitutional amendment providing
for the election of United States sena-
without further delay the bill will be
sent to the senate.
At the same time the act admitting
New Mexico and Arizona as states will
be passed upon favorably by the
house. The admission of the new
states will then be Cup to" the senate
and the president. There will be no
debate in the house on either of these
bills and the Democratic majority will
rush them through at express speed
The house will put the seal of it's
approval upon the popular vote meas
ure and the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico before Canadian reci-
procity or the tariff is permitted to be
mentioned. The Democratic house
leaders say they will fight these mat
tiers out with the senate if it takes all
summer, and If the senators try to
talk the measures to death, the spe-
through without intermission to the
opening of the regular session in De-
cember.
Another matter which may come up
in the house early next week is the
mobilization of troops in Texas. In
the senate, insurgent Republicans as
well as Democrats will make speeches
criticising the administration for it's
action, and an official explanation will
probably be demanded. All explana-
lions so far given out are asserted to
be but pretexts to hide the real mo-
tives of the move.
| Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin is
one Of the insurgents who wants to
know what the mobilization means.
It is rumored that Senator Poindexter,
of Washington, will also attack the
president on the subject. The Demo
cratic members are, of course, almost
unit in condemning the maneuvers
and they will attempt to make politi-
cal capital out of the matter.

about which we hear so much, does
hot mean living on one food exclusive.

Certain elements of nutrition are
essential to health, but all these ele.
ments cannot be obtained from any
one food-hence the necessity of a va,
'riety.
Deficiency of one OF more of these
elements, such as iron, for instance
in the blood, will cause anaemia, run.

If you are one of the unfortunates
who have 'drifted into this state,
change your diet, eat foods that are
rich in the mineral elements or nu.

cod liver and iron tonic, which con
tains no oil and supplies iron to the
blood in the most easily assimilated
form.
Vinol creates an appetite, aids diges-

this natural manner it builds up the

In an interview given out Mr.. Yew-

platform will be the integrity of the

pie of Mississippi-the former having
been assailed by Theo. G. Bilbo and
the latter being threatened by his can
didacy"
Asked If he would engage in Joint
debates with Senator BiIho, he said:
81 am more than anxious to do so,
but l suppose there is small chance
for that. After few meetings with
him last year, Senator Bilbo positive
ly refused to engage in joint debates
with me when l appeared at his ap-
pointments. Later he publicly de
clared that he would not engage in
joint debate with any one other than
Percy or Alexander or Noel, neither
or whom was or is a candidate against
Senator Bilbo.
81 am a firm believer in and advo-
cate of joint debate as the best meth
cd of threshing out issues before the
people, hence I am anxious for them,
and announce myself ready to accept
challenge from any candidate for
the office 20 which l aspire, Senator
Bilbo preferred. He was given a full
and patient hearing by the state SEN
ate, of which he was a member, and
was condemned by a majority of two
thirds, lacking only one vote. Then
he carried his charges into court,
where he was condemned by an unani-
nous verdict of twelve Jurors, a plu-
rality of whom were supporters of ex-
Governor Vardaman before the trial
commenced Now he has appealed to
the voters, and l am ready to try the
issue before them in every county in

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
