 MEET IN JACKSON
Great State Mass Meeting of Mississippians Is Called
 for Today Week

Meridian, Miss, January 1.-(Speeial)- The prohibition forces of the state have issued the following address to the people of Mississippi and it is creating consid- erable comment. It is self explanatory:
 "A great state mass convention of pro hibitionists and, indeed, of all other law abiding citizens of Mississippi has been called to meet in Jackson on Tuesday, January 9. 1912.
 Some of the purposes of the eonven- ton are: To obtain the sentiment of the entire state, as to the best laws for en- forcing the prohibition statutes; to adopt the best method of defeating the present plan of the antis to submit statewide pro hibition to a popular vote at once; to seek amendments which the judiciary find are much needed and to foster sen- timent which will prevent Mississippi from backsliding to local option.
 The fines of convicted men are ire quently paid by syndcated liquor money pooled outside this state. One convicted blind tiger pulled out his roll and said, Here, Squire, is your fine and cash; it didn't cost me anything Sometimes lawyers are paid by liquor money from outside this state The blind tigers will run just as long as we will let them run, and no longer.
 Hundreds of places in Mississippi are saying: Help rid us of the blind tiger Come to Jackson next Tuesday and hear how it is done. The Anti-Saloon league is non-partisan. non-factional interde- nominationai. and has but three aims a view: CD to help put saloons out of busi- ness. @ to help keep the state dry, and (3) to watch the enemy.
 Liquor advocates have perfected their plans to submit this question to a vote of the people. Shall they do 1t? crisis
 is on and should be met at once. They seem determined to do it. We are deter mined they shall not
 Addresses will be delivered morning. ing, afternoon and evening by prominent jurists, legislators. state officials, busi- ness men, ministers, eloquent women, from every part of the state and repre- sentatves of two colleges"

TO TAKE POLICE
 FROM WHITE HOUSE

Washington, January 1.--All of the uniformed policemen on duty in the White House and the executive offices are to be removed. The order affects 22 policemen, many of whom have been on duty at the White House for 10 years or more.
 The change is said to be due to a pro- test entered by Representative Burleson of Texas, member of the house com mittee on appropriations, who thought the policemen were needed on street duty.
 President Taft at once called the mat ter to the attention of the district com missioners with the communication that so far as he was concerned the police men could be removed from the White House at any time the district author ities saw fit.

the House along lines of the old Ald- rich oligarchy in the senate" said Mr. Woods. "The Underwood methods and the Aldrich methods are identical ill all essential details.
 sThe Democrats in the last Con- gress have employed all the imple- ments of professional politicians to retard legislation, policy always adopted by special interests. The Democrats who loudly proclaim pro- gressiveism are reduced to medium of influence, under the oiisarchy in the House.
 Mr. Woods declared the reactionary Democratic politicians from the South and from New York state were in the "saddle,' that they stifled the progressive Democrats in caucus and bound them hand and foot and that the reactionary element would al- ways control in every Congress in which there was a Democratic ma- iorty, if the present system be main- tained.
 The most important duty that the American people will have to perform in this campaign is to reclaim Con- gress, according to Woods. The cleo ton of a national legislature, he says, shouId hn considered hy evnrv one aS of supreme importance. He maintains that it is of more importance to elect a House that will express the wishes of the people than it is of consequence to elect president of the United States.
 "Without a Congress that can rise above the level of partisan politics in the enactment of important legls- lation,'' said Mr. Wood, "the best pres ident can do but little. On the other hand, with a Congress that acts on a plane of nation wide patriotism and intelligent statemanship bad presi- dent can exert but small influence against the passage of good laws.'
 MT. Wood says that the important thing for the American people to elect men to Congress who realize their duty to principle and that the govern ment is paramount to their duty to any political organizat ton or creed.

uman Answers Questions
 ! About The Revised Pe-ru-na

years ago, but did not realize the diff culty of overcoming the peoples no. tions on this subject
 l made d change in the formula of Pe-ru-na Quite a radical change A change that altered the color and the taste and somewhat the medicinal effect of Pe-ru-na. l did this believing it was ! the best thing to do under the circurn- stances.
 Immediately the change appeared the people began to complain of Pe- | ru-na. They, generally thought the druggist was to blame, that their bot 1 tie of Peruna had been tempered with. This made bad feelings between l the users of Pe-runa and the drug 1 gists. The druggists in some cases be- came irritated and angered and made complaint to the wholesalers and man. ufacturers. Thus the trade was tem- porarily in an uproar.
 After year of explanation the trade quieted down and the new Pe-ru-na
 took it's place in the drug stores as a
 popular household remedy And yet it has not attained the popularity that the other Pe-ru-na had. Changing the formula of Pe-ru-na was equivalent to Introducing new medicine into the )drug trade, an extremely difficult thing to do nowadays.
 Pe-ru-na as it is made today is a very excellent remedy for catarrh and general catarrhal ailments. It is for sale in all drug stores and has & slight laxative effect, very much need-
 ed in these days. It seemed to me
 that it was in many ways better rem- edy than before. Yet in spite of all |explanations there is considerable de-
 mand for the old Pe-ru-na assit used
 to be made.
 I have authorized the formation of a company to manufacture it. under the
 trade name of Ka-tar-no. The Ka- tar-no Co. is located in Columbus, Ohio, and stands ready to supply the trade
 with the old-time formula of Pe-ru-na
 under the name of Ka-tar-no.
