BROKE OUT IN HEAT RASH


1922 Georgia Ave., East Nashville.
Tenn.-"My baby was about two
months old when he began to break

rash, afterward turning into testers.
They gradually spread until his little
head, face. groins and chest, his head
being most affected, became a mass
Of sores with a great deal Of corrup.
ton. 1t became offensive and gradual
ly grew worse. l kept a white cap on
him to keep him from scratching. 1t
seemed to itch 81 badly. 1t made him
cross and his chest and groins would
often bleed.
Nothing seemed to help 1t. and l
had almost come to the conclusion
that my baby's case was hopeless,
when hearing Of the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment, ! decided to try 1t.
I noticed at once that baby rested bet

CAMPAIGN OF SANITATION.
Board of Health Is Doing Some Splendid
Work.

Jackson.-A campaign for better sani-
tatlon is being conducted at present in
each of the following counties: Franklin,
Forrest, Alcorn, Winston and Pike. A
campaign has just been closed in Amite
county and the results of the work are
indeed most gratifying. The records in
the hands of DR.. Leathers, director of
public health, show that DR.. Buchanan
has examined 4,1o7 people for hookworm
disease in this county during the past
six weeks, and of this number there were
3,o11 persons suffering from this blood
sucking and weakening disease. There
were 3,O26 treated and to this number of
individuals were given S,954 treatments.

GREAT SWINE EXHIBIT
HOGS AT STATE FAIR THIS FALL
FINEST IN SOUTH.
Number of Entries Will Double That o
Last Fall List of Premiums.
Special Premiums to Be Given
For Corn Club Boys.

= Jackson.-That the Mississippi State
Fair has grown to be the greatest eNhibi,
ton of live stock in the Southern States
is amply proven by the large number of
applications for ground space, which Sec
rotary J. H. Mcdonald receives through
almost every mail. In the. cattle, and
particularly in the swine department,
these applications have been most nu-
merous.
Last fall the Mississippi State Fair had
the largest swine exhibit of any fair in
the South, 1899 head of hogs being on
exhibit. All of last year owners have
re-applied for space, and a great many
more besides, SO that the secretary does
not hesitate to say that the swine shows
will be twice as large this fall as they
were last. This will make n of the
greatest swine shows ever held in this
section of the country.
All hogs entered at the fair must be
registered stock. Furthermore, all ex-
hibitors in the swine department must
make and file with the secretary an aft,
davit that the swine exhibited has not
had a contagious disease among them for
three months prior to the opening of the
fair, or been exposed to infectious dis
eases for a period of thirty days prior to
the opening, before they can secure an
exhibitors ticket.
Unlike last year, all swine pens for
exhibiting animals will rent for S1.00
each; swine for sale, $500 each.
Auction sales of swine will be held
on the grounds this year on two different
dates. Here is a chance to buy the best
blooded stock on the market.
The premium list has been prepared
for all the standard breeds of swine, in,

Additional Hospital Beds for thu
Treatment Of the tuberculosis

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds

In the last five years, the hospital

Jackson.-Since Gov. Brewer so EN-.
phatically and positively stated that he
would uphold the railroad commission
IN their efforts to bring the public serv-
ice corporations to the point where they
would pay on something like so per cent
valuation of their property, and would
borrow money to cover the deficit if
necessary, if the railroads combined and
took the matter through the courts with
the intention of creating a deficit in the
state revenues, there has been a cessa-
ton of such talk, and now it may be
stated authoritatively that several of
the railroads which have been making
a tall bluff at appealing from the order
of the commission fixing their assess.

FIRE PREVENTION WORKERS
STATE ASSOCIATION INVITED TO
MEET AT LAUREL.
Citizens Throughout the State Are Be-
ing Awakened to a Realization of
the Fact That 1t Means Money
Saved to Reduce Hazards.

Jacksonville Mississippi Fire Pre-
vention Association is making excellent
Roadway with its work in this state,
and a decided manifestation of interest
in ways and means of preventing con-
flagrations is being shown by the pub
lie, especially in the larger cities and
towns.
Property owners are being awakened
to a realization of the fact that by the
elimination of hazards and exposures
surrounding their property they cannot
only reduce the likelihood of fires, but
also secure reductions of their insurance
rates, and they are giving an intelli-
gent study to the subject.
The association will probably hold sew.
cral district meetings before the close OF
the year. An invitation has been re-
ceived by the local officers from the
Laurel Progressive Union to hold a meet
ing at that place, and the gathering will
probably be arranged for an early date,
and all fire insurance men, municipal
officials, and other interested parties.
invited to attend.
