HELD SECRET CONFERENCE.
Much Mystery in Meeting of Cotton
Manufacturers.


Much speculation IS rife in industrial
circles concerning the purpose of the
conference of cotton mill owners and
managers held behind closed doors at
Meridian. No information concerning
the object of the meeting has as yet
leaked out. Practically all of the mills
in the state-about fourteen in num-
ber-were represented.
The textile industry in this state has
been in rather bad way during the
past year. Several of the largest plants
are closed down, notably the Mississippi
Mills at Wesson, while several others
are running on short time.
It is reported that at the Meridian
meeting a state association was formed,
the purpose of which is to bring about
a betterment of conditions through or
gained effort, and to endeavor to get
the industry solidly on its feet once
more.

One In Three.

thousands of them suffer terribly be-

A New York hotel man says: Each

suffer from loss of sleep, which got

the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that / try Postum. | laughed at the

insisted so hard that l finally had
some Postum made. I have been u.s.

I noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. l be-

tasted as good or better than the old
coffee. so what was the use OF stick

me?
"One day on an excursion up the
