TUPELo MISS. FRIDAY, MAY "a, 1912
Mutual Culture Club.

At a recent meeting of the
Mutual Culture Club, Mrs. Per-
kins, our club delegate to the
convention of M. F. w. c., held
in Holly Springs, made a report.
in which she gave some interest.
ing data of the work being done
by the Federation.
In response to call, our Club
subscribed $500 to fund being
raised by the State Federation to
pay for a memorial picture OF
Mrs. Peyton. This picture is to
be hung on the wall in |. |. & G.
Institute in Columbus, of which
school Mrs. Peyton was the pro-
moter.
Immediately began the agita-
ton of which branch of the Fed
GRAFTON work should be taken up
by the Mutual Culture Club. All
agreed that our efforts should be
directed to some local work that
would be of general interest and
good to our town, and a unani-
nous vote was cast to secure the
appointment of a physician to ex-
anime, lat stated times) during
the school term, each child in the
public school.
This is being done in all the
large cities and up-to-date towns,
and is proving valuable in safe
guarding the welfare of the
child, school and community.
Any symptom of disease, such
as of the eye, ear. throat, or of
any other organic trouble dis
covered through the diagnosis of
the examining physician, is re-
ported to the parents, the child
receives prompt treatment. and
thus is averted serious results,
often occurring through sheer
ignorance. Sometimes slight
operation, advised by the exam
lining physician, transforms a
seemingly dull pupil into one Of
the brightest.
If all the club women in Tupe-
10 would unite in this work and
could enlist the cooperation of
the parents, school board and
teachers, and the municipal au
thority of Tupelo, this could be
easily accomplished.
1t has been truly said that
"Tupelo always gets what she
wants, and it must not be said
that Tupelo does not consider the
welfare of her children, her fu-
ture citizens, of far more value
than any commercial proposition.
The following committee was
appointed to represent the Mu-
tual Culture Club, and confer
with other representatives in re-
gard to this work: Mrs. R. O.
Perkins, chairman, Mrs. M. L,
CIopton, Mrs. Brooks Marmon,
Mrs. Fletcher Johnson.
Secretary.

and while there has been a very
dull business in some lines In
every section of the South. the
faith of the people in Tupelo has
been demonstrated by constant
demand for both residences and
business houses here. Where
they could be purchased, instan-
ces being rare however, both res
licences and business houses have
brought top prices, and where
they could not be bought, they
have been constructed. The
spring opens up with a strong
demand for lots, and already a
number of good contracts have
been let for residences, and quite
a number of applicants who will
build if suitable lots can be
secured:

Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.

Jonesboro, Ark.-'I suffered a com.
plete break down in health. some time
ago." writes Mrs. A. McGili, from this
place. 81 was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, got bottle of Cardui. 1t
did me so much good, was surprised,
and took some more.
Before took Cardui, had headache
and backache, and sometimes would
cry for hours. Now am over all that,
and can do all kinds of homework. I
think it is the greatest medicine on
earth"
In the past fifty years, thousands Of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you sufferer? Yes?
Cardui is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try it.

terested DR.. Fox in his case six
months ago, and it was arranged that
when a patient came to the Medico-
Chirurgical Hospital with an injured
eye which it you'd be necessary to
remove Harris should be notified and
the grating operation performed.
On the last day of May there was
brought to the hospital a man whose
eye had been punctured, and Harris
was called. The tissues of the eye
that.was removed from the other man
were transplanted to Harris sight
less eye, which then was bandaged for
eight DAYS. On the removal of the
handage Harris could see again, only
family at first but with increasing
strength on each succeeding day. Dr..
Fox will operate on Harris left eye
as soon as an eye has to be removed
from another patient.

This MOUNTED GLEE CLUB
Of One Hundred to EIeCtrify

Baltimore, Md, June 1.-THE
Harmon Tariff Club, which is being
organized in the West, will come to
Baltimore with an estimated serength
of more than 1000 marchers. Each

ers the following Democratic princi-
Pile:
Tariff for revenue only"
This club will boost Governor Har-
mon on his stand on the tariff ques-
ton alone. This is the principal
question before the American people
today and Governor Harmon is the
enc candidate either on the Republi-
can or Democrat side who has con-
tinually told the people the tariff
needs of the day. He has made that
his great campaign issue and will see
to it that the Democratic party under
his leadership will give to the country
a genuinely American tariff act, re-
vised downward and enacted for rev.
enue only
Marching clubs boosting the can
didacy of Gov Judson Harmon will
begin arriving early this week. The
first to reach the city will probably
be the Dnckworth Club, of Cincinnati,
one of the oldest political marching
clubs in existence
In addition there will be a mounted
Harmon Club and a glee club of 100
trained voices, which will be brought
TO Baltimore by James Ross, of Co
lumbus, delegate-at-large to the
convention. Ross county will send
the mounted club, which will have
everything all its own way from the

mined to Prove He Had Not
Lost His Appetite.

Three men entered the dining-room
OF the hotel, and with difficulty sank
weakly into the chairs at a table.
Whenever there was a noise behind
them, they flinched and trembled.
They were nervous. One Of them
tried TO drum on the table with a
knife. and a spasmodic motion Of his
muscles sent 1t sailing through the
air. To the most casual observer, 1t
must have been evident that they had
been drinking too much the night be-
fore. Also, 1t was evident that they
were uncertain about whether they
could eat any breakfast.
That is, two of them were uncertain.
They were SO uncertain that they
gazed at the menu in despair, and
ventured no remarks to the waiter
standing behind them.
Finally the third man, fellow Of
great build, gave an order which
aroused the undying admiration of the
other two.

Mary must have dressed like these
women when she came to the flowing
well. Her little feet that history
tells about with such insistent empha-
sis were, like theirs, uncovered. Her
little hands were strong, like theirs,
to lift the heavy amphora high. With
tlexibility of youth she mounted the
rocky slope to where her house stood.
Many times, no doubt, she led the in
fant Jesus with her, holding fast his
hand. The pool beneath the fountain,
where the women wash their clothes.
reflected often her earnest brow.
Today the Easter sun shines on the
face of Galilee. The garden of Mary's
house is radiant with beauty of the
spring. Birds tlutter joyously, loyal
to the old gray stones. The dull green
foliage of olive trees glistens. Great
pink lilies waver on long, wandlike
stems.
Below the fountain bubbles cease
lessly. Tiny violets and yellow flow

trod. 1t is Easter, as In Gethsemane,
and the spirit Of the Master sheds a
blessing on the place.
