parts of the public health arm of the
nation is an active and generous CO.
operation one with the other. The
Public Health Service cannot succeed
in the fullest extent if it is not assist
ed by the state and local health au-
thorities. The state departments OF
health cannot discharge their duties
with greatest profit without the help
of the county and municipal boards
of health, and all of them to succeed
in the broadcast way must cooperate
one with the other and all as whole.
"The form which this cooperation
should take is capable of endless vari-
alton and untold multiplicity, but the
first and one Of the most important
single factors is in the collection Of
vital statistics. The registration
area for death at present occupies
only about two-thirds Of the country.
An endeavor is being made to es-
tablish a registration area for morbid
ity, and this is a most needed reform
in public health administration.
ut is the great glory Of the period
in which we live that we have recog
nized our responsibility as our broth
ers' keeper. That public official who
brings physical salvation to his fel
low man has gone long way toward
the promotion of the moral welfare
and general happiness of the communi
ty. The worker in the field Of SAM
tation does more for the moral uplif
of the nation than any other officia
agency.
"Most of the states and many o
the municipalities grant adequate pub
lie health authority to their officials
Practically all are willing to do so
the matter is placed before them Il
it's true light. The great difficulty
however, lies in the securing of ar
proportions. 1t must be said that edit
cation OF the general public with re
gard to matters sanitary has not we
brought about a full realization of tn
interchangeable of public health an
public wealth."

OUR BENEFIT OF THE TARIFF.

The new tariff has the good effect
of reducing the cost of syrup-one
step at least in the lowering of the
high cost of living. There are good
many ways of using syrup, and there
is a place for it on every table at any
meal. Breakfast will be tastier and
more inviting with plenty of hot bis
cults, griddle cakes or mullins with
syrup. Syrup can be used on good
many desserts at dinner, and for sup
per with waffles or hot bread. Syrup
is fine food. 1t is good for old or
young-especially children who con-
tinually crave sweets.
The best syrup is Velva, in the cans
with the red or green labels. Green
Label Velva is pure Country made rib
bon cane syrup without anything ad
ded or taken away. Red Label Velva
is the pure juice of the cane modified
in flavor by corn syrup-both are de
licious and full of fine flavor. Velva
is lower in cost now than ever, while
other foods are either higher in price
or ed.-Advertisement.

THE FARMERS CHANCE.

Formerly fresh country butter"
sold at the top price. But so much
of the product was made by persons
who handled cream improperly or
churned improperly, or handled the
butter improperly after the churning,
that dairy butter made upon a COM
mercial scale supplanted country but
ter as the gilt-edge article.
Nowadays grocers are quoting
strictly fresh country eggs" at prices
higher than cold-storage eggs. But
there still remains the possibility that
the strictly fresh egg of commerce
may have come from a producer who
is not strictly dependable for yeracity
and for the exercise of caution to
avoid marketing an inferior product.
For that reason there is still another
price for strictly fresh eggs sold upon
a personal guarantee, and to pur-
chasers who will trust the guarantor.
Strictly good country butter would
also command gilt edge prices If an
effort were made to rehabitate it as

SHORT HORNS MAKE
FINE BEEF CATTLE

Never was there as great need of
growing two pounds of beef where
only grew before as now, says B.
o. Caravan of Tennessee in Southern
Farming. Such marked increase in
production is hardly possible except
in rare instances, but very great i'm
provement is not only possible, but
greatly needed among the cattle on
the majority of farms. The scarcity
of beef cattle and their resultant high
value will surely stimulate their pro-
duction on farms from which they
were driven by the low prices Of IL
years ago.

Jackson, Miss. Dec. 11.-There are
opportunities for Mississippians in
the consular and diplomatic service,
if they desire to become representa-

ator John Sharp Williams.
At the request of the assistant Sec
rotary of state, Senator Williams de-

want to enter this field of activity that
they can receive all the information
they may desire on the subject by ad-
dressing letters to John E. Osborne,

will promptly forward pamphlets con-
tanning information regarding appoint
ments and promotions, especially in
the consular service.
According to Senator Williams
very few persons in this state who
are eligible for positions of this sort
have made applications probably due
to the fact that they do not know the
proper procedure. An examination OF
applicants for consular appointments
is to be held in Washington on the
| 10th of January, and Senator Williams
hopes that some Mississippians will

THE HIGH COST OF

"GlRLS OF TODAY"
Chauncey NJ Depew recently COM
nared the American girl as he sees her
today with the girl Of fifty or sixty
years ago, and, although the compari-
son was not altogether favorably to
the young women of today, Mr. Depew
admitted that the extravaganza which
he said was typical Of the girl of to-
day was not her fault, but was to be
attributed to the conditions that sur
round her.
1.-THE American girl as l knew her
when was young man in my native
village" said Mr.. Depew, was very
we'll educated, widely read-principal-
" in the literature of the Elizabethan
period-and in the best sense COM
rade. Her mother had taught her to
be versed in all household matters,
and in everything relating to the care
of a family. When she married, liv-
ing was easier and less expensive.
She Immediately organized her house
hold, and her husband found every
thing just as good in every way as
he had been used to under his own
mothers roof. While she had her
dress-maker and milliner, she could do
nearly as well as they, and was not a
slave to those artists.
"The typical American girl of today
differs from the girl of sixty years ago
in that she is more artificial She has
more accomplishments, but not so
many solid requirements. She has
to be differentiated into the society
girl and the girl who is not what
might be called a social factor in one
of our great centers. Fashionable
girls are so few in comparison to the
rest that think among the great mass
of the latter must be found the typical
Americae girl. Nevertheless, it is by
the society girl, who is a fine sports
woman and good sport, that we are
adjudged abroad, because she is more
often seen.
"But the girl who represents great
many American women in the country
differs from the type of fifty years ago
only In this, that she is more Travelled
and her horizon is broader. Her edu-
cation is on higher plane, but she
knows less Of domestic accomplish
ments and is more expensive as a wife
until she learns them.
Rich husbands are very scarce. A
properly constituted young man wants
