A BROTHERLY INVITATION WE CAN'T
ACCEPT.
Pascagoula Democrat-Star


The Greene County Herald, pub
lished in LeakesvilIe, Miss, in its
last issue printed the following edi-
torial which is self-explanatory:
Two newspapers in Mississippi, VIZ:
the Pascagoula Democrat-Star and
the Yazoo Sentines are rivals for the
honor of being the first newspapers
in the state to declare for Oscar I'm
derwood for the presidential nomIna-
ton If we are correct on memory
the Star had it onto the Sentinel by
a few weeks. though possibly for the
lack OF exchange relations neither
one had noticed how close they had
showed each other for this timeliness
of declaration The Herald hash
yet declared for Underwood for the
nomination IN 1912, nor will we do so
until compelled by the overwhelming
voice of the party in state convention
assembled, for we are still of the
| opinion that be stands no chance at
this time, and it's but foolishly play
ing for Harmon s benefit for the
South to plume him. Wilson is the
man who looms UP bigger each week
Jas the central figure for present
Democratic hope OF success.
The Democrat-Star verl6es the
correctness of the Herald's admission
as to this paper having been the
original Underwood announcer and
booster. The fact that Brother
Faux has not yet seen fit to an
nounce for Alabamas gifted son is
disappointing to this paper. but it is
sincerely believed that the time is
not far distant when that editor will
add is valued endorsement to the
Underwood candidacy. To support
Underwood, however is no manner
of means way of playing to the
Harmon strength. Underwood is
the first choice Of Alabama; Wilson
is second Underwood is the first
choice of The Democrats Star and
/ Wilson it's second preference, with
Champ Clark a mighty close third.
The major portion of the Under
wood support prefers Wilson as sec
ond choice, but that support feels
so sure that Underwood will obtain
the necessary two thirds vote as the
Baltimore convention progresses in
its work, that the second choice pre-
ference is a secondary<tSenasition.
/ Wilson is not as strong today as he
was two weeks ago. His own state,
New Jersey, has not lined up behind
him, and the reverses suffered in
Kansas and Maine have weakened
him materially in other parts of the
country. Those two states had been
positively placed in the Wilson col
umn, before the action taken, and
the results we're just the opposite
than had been predicted.
Get in the big game, Brother
Faux, and push forward the first
Southern man Of full measure of full
requirement to fill the presidency
that has been presented to the nation
since the civil war, and use your
commendatory pen in the interests
of the next president of the United
States-Oscar Underwood Of Alaba-
ma.

Did Nearly What People Wanted Done.

Newton Record
True there may have been little
spite work done, which might have
been left off, but this spirit is shown
more or less in nearly all similar
bodies, and Notwithstanding this,
the good works of the body will ov-
erbalance that which may call for Sc
we're criticism on the part of some
partisans. The body was composed
of men the majority of whom were
termed as Vardaman supporters, but
it was very clearly shown in several
instances that Vardaman, Brewer
nor anyone else could dictate TO or
control them. They were an indie
pendent set, who used their own
judgment, whether it was faulty or
not, in their deliberations.
While The Record does not endorse
all that was done, there was really
no pernicious legislation, and on the
other hand there were number of
very meritorlOus and needed meas
ures enacted. After the fires of fac
journalism have burned out and the
people can look at the acts of the
body without any prejudice, The
Record believes the body will be con-
sidered by the majority as one that
ranks along with the best. 1t will
90 down in history as a body which
endeavored to carry out the wishes
Of the people who elected them in
most every instance, as nearly as
they could ascertain.

EDITORIAL

The Perry Co. News is another
newspaper in Mississippi which has
ately declared for Woodrow Wilson
Cor the Democratic nominee for
president. Were the primary route
open, there would be a merry dis
eussion of the respective claims OF
She several offerers for that honor,
among the newspapers of Mississip-

be able to dictate the candidate as
they are now doing with the ante

DAILY DIET AND
HEALTH HINTS
BY DIR. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
SUGGESTIONS FOR FASTING

As sudden changes in diet
are under all circumstances to
be avoided, fast should begin
gradually, dropping breakfast
for three days, then supper for
three days, then drop the third
meal. Drink two a. rs daily
of lemonade without sugar, for
five days, in the average case
in which fasting has not been
tried before. On the morning of
the sixth day eat an apple or a
quarter of a pineapple, exclud-
ing the fiber; for dinrer two or
three tablespoonful of rice,
slowly, with cream only, and IN
the evening baked potato or
slice Of toast or dish Of
prunes. The quantity may be
doubled the second day, and
the third the usual diet re-
sumed for dinner Only. Thus
the regular diet will be reached
the fifth day, and the benefit
will be greater than from an
unreguIated fast. 1t Is difficult
to restrain the appetite the
first three or four days, but
thereafter easy. Fasting 10 not
starving. The attitu'@ of the
mind and the surroundings are
very important. Much depends
upon circumstances, and these
suggestions apply only to the
average cases and will ohvlate
the mistakes ordinarily made
by those who try fasting with
out professional advic A long
err fast without advice is not
advisable, though there are
many cases in which a well reg
uIated fast for 80 days or even
longer will do more to elm
mate disease conditions than
any other means, but careful
regulation Is necessary for
safety and the best results.
