Drink "Home-Made" Water.

~Jackjon.-An item wherein this legis.
lature2 is economical is on the matter
of drinking water. The last one paid
something like $1,000 for various fancy
brands of spring water for the mem.
bers to drink. This legislature bought
q few demijohns of it, and then re.
belled. The superintendent of the blind
institute said he had a good artesian or
deep well there and would furnish all
the drinking water needed free. The of.
fer was jumped at, and the members
now drink water that don't cost a cent
and say it's just as good, If not better,
than the much advertised spring brands.

FOR A MONEY.
House Passes Bill to Reduce the Interest
Rate.

House Passes Bill to Reduce the Interes,
Rate.
Jacksonville house of representa-.
tives voted in favor of cheaper money,
House bills Nos. 1913 and 1872, known as
the money bills, were passed by an
overwhelming majority. Bill No. 1913
provides for a reduction of the contract
rate on money from 10 to 8 per cent,
and bill No. 1872 exempts all money
loaned at the rate of 6 per cent from
taxation.
The Farmers Union and a large mum.
Der Of people who are not members of
that order fought for a reduction Of the
contract rate from 10 to 8 per cent. The
banking interests throughout the state
generally favored the bill exempting s
per cent loans from taxation. The
Farmers Union officially announced that
it would fight the 8 per cent exemption
bill unless the contract reduction bill
was coupled with it and passed. The
conflicting interests finally agreed to
couple the fate of the bills in the house.
and both of them were considered at
the same time and debated at great
today. Roll calls followed each
other on both bills and both were passed
by more than the required constitutions
majority.

INVESTIGATE MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS
Committees Will Visit State Educational
Institutions.

Jacksonville house of representa-
tives adopted the Bramlette resolution
directing the house committee on uni
v~ersties and colleges to investigate the
State University at Oxford, the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College at Stark
vile, the Industrial Institute and Col.
legc at Columbus and the Alcorn Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College flor ne
groes) at Rodney. The committee, of
which Mr.. Bramlette is chairman, de.
cided also to investigate the State Nor
nal College at Hattisburg, which was
recently established.
According to the reports in circula-
ton around the capitol, the investiga-
ton is aimed PRINCIPALLY at the State
University and the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, especially the univer-
sity. During the discussion in the house
Mr.. Rencher of Kemper said that Sc
rious charges had been made against
the university management by Account
ant Moore and others, and while he
did not believe that the allegations
were true, he though they should be
probed by the legislature. Strong pres
sure has been brought to bear on mem
bers of the house to investigate the
university, and the Bramlette resolu.
ton the result.
There is a report in circulation around
the capitol that the old fraternity fight
has broken out again at the university.

The mother cannot do better for her children than 10 train them, from infancy, TO regularity of the bowels. Chronic constipation in later life can te avoided if the child learns early the need for daily evacuation of the poisonous stomach waste.
 There will, of course, be times when the little one will become con- stipated and bilious In hot weather, especially, immediate attention is ne- cessary, as much serious illness re- suits from inactive bowels. Salts, cathartics, purgatives, and similar drastic irritants are hars hand yio- lent and only bring temporary relief while disturbing the whole system. A gentle, pleasant bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwell's $ Syrup Pepsin is far preferable. Syrup Pepsin contains no narcotic drug, being composed Of sim ole laxative herbs combined with pep sin, and acts gently, in natural manner, on stomach, bowels and liver. By thoroughly cleansing the bowels and removing the foreign matter that sirritates and flames the tissue, it will quickly check the summer diarrhoea that is so weakening in it's effect.
 Druggists sell pr. Caldvell's Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the larger size being intend- ed for family use A free trial bottle, postpaid, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 406 Washing ton St, Monticello, Illinois.
