DIABETES.

From late figures the hope Of cov
cry under the new emollient treatment
seems to be about as follows:
In people of sixty and over results
are quite uniform, probably nine
tenths recovering. While at fifty and
over a large majority of all cases yield
to the treatment, below fifty and ap-
preaching forty the percentage is not
hieh-probably not much over half
yielding.
Under thirty the percentage is less
and in children recoveries have been
very few and most of these were OBJ
tanned with the aid of skilled physi-
clans forcing nutrition with alkaline
treatment to prevent fermentation of
acetones.
The new emollient treatment is
known as Bloodine Blood and Kidney
Tablets. They can be had in Tupelo
at Pound K~incannon & Elkin.

Double Decking Streets.

Chief Engineer Goodrich of the bu-
reau of membranes of the depart
ment of highways, New York, has pro-
posed a plan for the double decking
of ~Forty-second street, New York, be-
tween Fifth and Lexington avenue.
The street is n of the most con-
gested in the city, there being proba-
bly, no place in the world where so
many systems of transportation cen
ter as here. The double decking Of
the street will give an opportunity for
separating the traffic, to say nothing
( of at once doubling the capacity of
the street. Here is a problem which
will have to be met and successfully
solved, as the modern Office building,
20 to 80 stories in height, gradually
replaces the older buildings. Some OF
the downtown streets Of New York
are already congested almost to q
standstill, SO that traffic at times Is
nearly impossible.

MEANS END OF SMALL TOWN
Against tho Big City Retail Mall
Order Houses.

Writing to the convention OF the
Southwestern Lumberman's assocfa'
ton, held recently at Kansas City.
William Allen White says:
81 am exceedingly sorry that ! can
not attend your convention. 1t seems
to me that the lumbermen Of this
section are undertaking a work that
should commend them to all good citi-
gems.
The preservation of the home
trade to the home town carries with
1T the preservation of many OF our
American institutions.
1T seems to me that q lot of good
things In American life will pass If
the country town passes. And it will
pass just so surely as Capitalization
of retail mall order business in cities
continues.
1.-The American country town, the
town of from one hundred to one hun
dred thousand people, preserves bet.
ter than the crowded city and better
than the lonely ranch and isolated
farm life, the things that make Amer
lea great.
Here in these country towns the
spirit of neighborliness Is the prevail
ing spirit. Men come to know one
another and when any two human be-
1ngs come to know n another, in
the one who Is intelligent and wise
respect always rises for the other.
To know ones fellows always Is to
sympathize with them. Neighborli-
ness spells fraternity.
THE American country town with
Its broad circle of friendships. with
its close. homely. simple relations be-
tween men, with It's spirit OF cooper
alton and with its economic status
that permits the creation of no In
decently rich and no abjectly poor,
the American country town. 1t seems
to me, is the most hopeful OF our
American institutions.
ITO destroy that town, furnishing
the market for the farmer and giving
steady employment to labor. means a
reorganization of our commercial, so
.cial and Industrial life that will be
revolutionary-and more a matter OF
doubtful value.
1.-The mail order house therefore be-
comes a menace to this country, the
mail order house unrestrained will
Kill our smaller towns, creating great
cities with their terrible contrasts OF
life, with their cruel social relations,
with their inevitable caste feeling that
come from the presence Of strangers
who are rich and poor living side by
side"

The EnoIish Sparrow.

The fact that insect-eating birds are
less plentiful in cities is true, but l
believe that the conditions are rap
idly improving, says a writer on civic
beauty. Intelligent nature study has
done much to lessen the ardor OF the
small boy who formerly used his sling
shot and airgun to such harmful ad-
vantage.
1t is probable, too, that the English
sparrow has done nearly as much as
the small boy to make the life of
song birds miserable in the cities. l
doubt, however, If the sparrow Is as
black as he Is painted, and sadly
fear that some published opinions Of
him have been biased by the writer's
loss Of early morning sleep. / know
FOR a fact that the English sparrow
Is far more of an insect-eating bird
than he has the credit Of being. 1
have observed them extensively and
bird for bird l know that he Is a
more valuable species from an ento-
biological standpoint than Is our we'll
beloved robin. Were 1t not for the
10y the red breast brings when he
comes to us with each returning
spring. l think that we could do with
out him very nicely. He destroys few
injurious insects, eats much fruit and
literally gorges himself on our soil
Improving fishing worms.
One more influence against the pres
ence OF birds in cities should not go
unmentioned. The peaceful Tin day
time) house cat is one Of the worst
enemies of birds we have, and should
be banished.

RICE LAMEHTS FOR GIANTS
AFTER WOOD AND WAGNER
BEAT OUT TESREAU AGAIN

ball Joe we are willing TO state that
he has yet to pitch a game true to his
American League form.
he has won, but he hasn't been az
his best If Mathewson wins his bat
tie, Wood must show a surer flash oi
his old form to upset Marquard now
that the Rube has tasted gore. In thi
respect, Marquard is good bit like
the Nubian lion of yore. One taste of
gore gives him quite an appetite AMI
he is much tougher citizen TO deal
with than If beaten. The Rube has
the same confidence now which car
ried him along his record run and
must be counted as one of the vital
factors of the series-a more danger
GUS man than either Mathewson or
Tesreau, who looked to be New York's
sole hope at the start of the series
Unless the dope goes badly awry,
Boston viii find this wry-necked side
wheeler the hardest man of the melee
to beat. MarQuard confident and
Marquard on the run are two entirch
detached souls without single
thought in common And Marquard
after the first start, is far from being
on the run.
The Red SOx Infeld.
Professor Mack displayed quite
cluster of infield talent when he en-
tered the world series last fall. but
nothing Of the type shown by Stahrs
inner set The Boston outfield was
touted as the main hope of the team,
but it has fallen to the Boston intield

Red-hosed troopers out in front. This
infield quartet has run down "a
chances out of 90 starts and the two
lone bobbles were excitable. And out
of the "a about 80 were soul-liftinE
episodes which figure largely in tho
final count.
The Giants have outhit their rivals
in three of the four games played,
but the ranging power of Boston's IN
field defense has broken up more than
one Giant assault on its way to vic
tory.
And those who wonder why Nc
Graw left Fletcher in might obtain
the answer from the last two scores
He has not only driven in two of tho
last three Giant runs, made, but has
cornered IS chances without a bob
Bile and six OF the fifteen were smOk-
ing shots where a break meant poig-
nant anguish to his peoples dream OF
conquest Not forgetting that it was
something to come back after the de-
pressing incidents Of the first two
games Something, in the final as
say that Is just little bit better than
winning a game or winning a 49,
