The Bryan plan" said the senator,
was received better than almost any
thing that was talked over, The only
objection to the proposal seemed to be
that during the period provided for
an investigation Of grievances by a
commission, the countries involved
shall make no additions to their war
equipment. Several nations did not
seem to like that provision, but it is
not vital part of the plan"

PINE ASSN. HELD
MONTHLY Meeting
MARKET is QUIET BUT oPER-
AToRS ANTICIPATE EARLY
REVIVAL OF ACTIVITY.

I The regular meeting of the MISSES
sippi Pine Association held In this city
Tuesday. was attended by representa-.
tiVes of about two thirds of the firms
and companies holding membership
therein and considerable interest was
manifested in the discussions and re.
ports relative to prevailing conditions.
which were shown to be decidedly
quiet in tone.
While market conditions are quiet,
the mills are all running regularly
but there is no disposition to crowd
the output to capacity.
Some reports of car shortage were
mentioned but no great inconvenience
has resulted. In looking forward to
the certain scarcity of cars with the
coming of October, with the posibil-
ity of the dearth continuing to the end
'of the year, there was developed more
hope than regret, since it was remem.
bered that that factor, though annoy
ing at times, has often served to slim
ulate prices; a result greatly to be
desired. BE-
A largely increased demand for d.
mension stock was reported, but prices
re far from satisfactory to the manu-
facturer. The crumb of comfort comes
from the fact that such stock does not
demand the Slaughter Of high grade

The export market Is very dull, with

weight, Following the receipt of this
letter. the secretary determined that
the best way for the Department to
learn how to give these women the
fullest possible aid and service which
their important place in agricultural
production warrants, was to write to
the women themselves and ask them
to make their own suggestions.
In the letter these women are in
vited to give individual answers to
the letter or to discuss the matter in
their church societies or womens or.
CARNATIONS and submit answers rep
resenting the combined opinions of
the women of their entire communi.
ties. The answers are requested not
later than November Is and this date
Is set because it will give the women
time after harvest to consider the mat
ter and discuss it with their women
neighbors.
This letter will go to about twenty
leading farms in each of the twenty.
eight hundred counties of the United
States. Their answers, it is expected
will represent the views and opinions
of upwards of 100000 farm women.
These answers will be carefully con-
sidered by the specialists of the De-
partment having to do with that
branch of agricultural activity.

NO MORE TYPHOID IN THE ARMY

!
Typhoid fever has been banished
from the United States Army. When
our soldiers are needed hereafter
the American people can feel sure
that, as far as this disease is con.
cerned, the full strength of each com.
pany and regiment will be on the f1r.
ing line. In previous wars, from 10
to 40 per cent of the opposing forces
have been in the hospitals, incapaci-
tated through various diseases. Dur
ing the Spanish-American war, out of
1888 soldiers in camp at Jackson
vile, Fla, there were 1888 cases of
typhoid. If this division had been in
the midst Of an active campaign it's
lighting strength would have been
weakened about one-third, not only by
the loss of these patients, but also
by the loss of the men necessary to
care for and transport them. Any
means which will reduce or eliminate
any Of the diseases from which sol.
diers have suffered in the past will
actually increase both the strength
and the efficiency of the army. It
will also greatly increase the chances
Of our volunteer soldiers returning
safe from war, as disease has, in every
war in history so far, killed more sol.
diers than bullets. An official an
nouncement Of the elimination of ty.
phoid from our army is an event in
which every citizen should feel a keen
interest. In a recent issue of The
Journal of the American Medical As.

results secured through vaccination.
In 1902, with an enlisted strength of
SO,77S men and officers, there were in
