When questioned by a News repor-
ter as to the Normal College pros
poets, President Cook expressed great
satisfaction with the progress being
made on the buildings and the indica-
tons for a good opening on Septem-
Der 18th. He stated that great many
inquiries are being received from pros
pective students, and that he is enroll
ing students and reserving rooms in
the dormitories right along.
He stated that some confusion seems
to have arisen with reference to the
admission of students who do not ex
pect to teach. Such students will be
admitted on an equality with those
who expect to teach, the only differ
ence being that they will be required
to pay tuition. The rate of tuition for
these students has been fixed at $500
per term Of six weeks, or exactly $40!
per school month.
Some have inquired also with ref
erence to the possibility of change
in plans after the pledge to teach has
been taken. ANY student who decides
not to teach the required three years

the College.
Mr.. Cook wishes one other point
emphasized that has not been spe-
officially mentioned in the printed mat
ter 1t is with reference to looking
after the health of the girls in the
dormitories. Each building will have
an experienced and competent lady in
charge as matron, and there will
be lady physician employed as in
structor in physiology and hygiene
whoes duty it will also be to attend
the illness of any of the girls who
need attention. "In this way" says
Mr.. Cook, 1--WE expect to see to it thai

may be well also to mention that the

ISSUES CAMPAIGN.

conduct of cur government Is essential
to its safety and prepetuity, appeal
to you to give effect to that belief in
active participation in this campaign.
That purpose can be best accom-
plished by the organization of local
clubs in every county and precinct
within the state, and through this in
strumentality to secure contributions
to the national campaign funds. An en-
ergetic canvass in this behalf cannot
fail to be productive Of results; and
every Mississippian should feel that
personal and patriotic obligation
rests upon him to contribute to this
end.
We must remember that this Is a
battle of the people against entrench-
ed interests; and the only reliance
that we have for the money to con-
duct this battle to successful conclus-
ion is upon he voluntary contributions
of the people; and every dollar given
in that behalf is an investment for the
welfare and happiness of yourself and
the children that may come after you.
Considering these things, I urge you
to do your duty in your community
and awaken recognition Of the Demo
cratic obligation and responsibility.
To this end, trust that a Wilson
Marshall Club will not only be organ
lied in every county but in every pre-
cinct in the state. Notify Joseph E.
Norwood, Magnolia, Miss, of the for
nation of clubs and send all remit
tances to him. All money contributed
will be promptly RENTED to National
Democratic Committee.
Blanks for the organization of clubs
can be had by applying to either the

j. WOMEN PALE AND WEAK. =
. They Neglect Their Bowels And
. The Poisons vitiate The
. Blood.

Hot weather has a very weakening
effect on women. They become too
languid to exercise and have appetite
for light, tasty foods, like salads and
other cold connections, which do not
digest readily and tend to increase
their natural tendency to constipation.
At this season women, especially,
need all their strength to resist the
enervating effect of the heat. Good
digestion and regularity of the bowels
are essential. Some fruits have laxa-
tive properties, but they are uncertain
in their effect, and are not generally
advised. A mild bowel stimulant and
digestant, such as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, is preferable because it is GER
tain in it's effect, natural in it's action,
and wholly safe Take dose of Syrup
Pepsin at night and by morning the
sick headache and indigestion will be
gone.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
in drug stores everywhere, and costs
fifty cents a bottle; larger size, in
tended for family use, costs one dollar.
If you have never used Syrup Pepsin
and would like free trial bottle post
paid, write to DR.. w. B. Campbell, 406
