Iron Ore in State Attracting Great Deal
of Attention.

Jacksou.-Recent investigation of the
iron ore deposits in the southeastern
part of the state, especially near Enter
prise, reveal what are thought to be very
rich and valuable fields of ore. 1t is
said by DR.. E. N. Lowe, state geologist.
that there is apparently an unlimited
supply of ferris carbonate in that sec
ton.
The carbonate is entirely different from
that in the northern part of the state,
which is said to be superior in quality
to any that is now being mined. The
deposits near Enterprise are red and
soft, while that in North Mississippi,
especially east of Holly Springs, is white
and very hard. 1t is claimed that the
ore in the southern part Of the state will
yield one ton of pig iron from three tons
of ore.

ARE MICROBES
IN YOUR SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved That rIicrobes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unua of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatolog disc )vered that
microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observations of
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the Sebum, which is the
natural hair Oil, and when permitted
to flourish it destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely close
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this hap
pens there is no hope of the growth Of
hair being revived,
