The Forty Year Test.

An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for a period of forty
years. Chamberlain'S Cough Remedy
was first offered to the public in 1872.
From a small beginning it has grown
in favor and popularity until it has
attained a world wide reputation. You
will find nothing better for a cough
or cold. Try it and you will under
stand why it is a favorite after a
period of more than forty years. 1t
not only gives relief--it cures. For

WORK AND PLANS Of
BUREAU OF SOCIAL HYGIENE
The Following Statement II Given
out for Publication by John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr.

The Bureau Of Social Hygiene
came into existence about two years
ago. as a result OF the work OF the
special grand jury appointed TO inves-
tigate the white slave traffic I'm New
York City. which served during the
first half OF the year 1910. one OF
the recommendation made by Il in
the presentment handed up at the
termination OF It's labors was that
public commission be appointed TO
study the social evil The foreman OF
that body subsequently gave careful
consideration to the character Of the
work which might properly be done
by such a commission and the limi-
tations under which Il would oper-
ate. In this connection. separate. per
sonal conferences were held with ov-
or a hundred leading men and women
In the city. among whom were law
yors. physicians. business men. bank
presidents. presidents Of commercial
organizations. clergymen. settlement
workers. social workers. labor lead
ers. and reformers. These conferences
developed the feeling that a public
commission would labor under a
number OF disadvantages. such as the
fact that Il would be short lived; that
Il. work would be done publicly; that
al best Il could hardly do more than
present recommendations. The con-
viction also grew thst the main rea-
son Why more permanent results had

study the social evil and the various
methods OF oealing with It in the
leading cities OF Europe. Mr.. Flexner
spent the greater part of a year a.
broad, making a searching and ex-
haustive inquiry into the subject, and
is now working on his report, which
will be ready for publication this
winter.
These studies are to be followed
by others, in those cities in the Uni
ted States where different conditions
exist or where special methods OF
dealing with the social evil have been
introduced, the object being to be-
come familiar with all phases of the
subject and all methods of handling
II which have been tried in this coun-
try and in Europe.
Based upon all these studies,
which will probably be published by
December OF this year, II is the hope
OF the Bureau, that there may be de-
vised practical plan for dealing
with the social evil in New York
City-a plan which public opinion
can be brought to support.
In conclusion. It cannot be too
strongly emphasized that the spirit
which dominates the work of the Blu
reau is not sensational or sentimental
or hysterlcal; that II is not a spirit
OF criticism OF public officials; but
that II is essentially a spirit OF con-
structive suggestion and OF deep
scientific as well as humane interest
in a great world problem.

FAVORABLE REPORT FROM
THE CITY SCHOOLS

The boys OF the High School have
organized a society for the purpose
" carrying on a literary program.
The work done in the society will be
mostly debating and defamation.
They voted to name the society THE
Jefferson Literary Society" This is
certainly a splendid name, and will,
no doubt, be the means of quite a
good deal of patriotism being incul-
Gated in the minds of it's members.
The officers elected are as follows:
0lnkin Thompson, President, Homer
Watkins, vice president. and Chas.
Mcdonald, Secretary and Treasurer.
The society meets every Friday af-
ternoon at four o'clock. Only male
members of the Snyder High School
may become members. The subject
discussed at the last meeting was,
should the right OF Suffrage be Ex-
tended TO Women in Texas" The
kldges decided in favor of the ne
eatiye. This is the question for de-
bate in the State High School De-
batting and Defamation League. Our
boys are preparing to enter that con
test. The final tryout for scurry
County will be held at the Court
House, the last Friday night in Feb
ruary. A nice program is promised
for that occasion.

q

John FL. Lang Contributes
Timely and Interesting Ar
ticle on Subject to Home
Paper, Which Notes Sur
prisingly Small Amount of
Popular Information on
Subject Was Prison For
Many Confederates.
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1913-08-23

Fort Massachusetts is point of in
terest to every one of the hundreds of
people who visit Ship Island when they
come to the coast. There is surpris-
ingly small amount of popular informa-
ton regarding the fort and it has latel y
become matter of considerable discus
sion and speculation. The following
historical sketch which is contributed
to the columns of the Gulfport Daily
Herald by John H. Lang, is therefore
very timely and very interesting:
"Fort Massachusetts" on Ship Island
was built about f867-8-9 on site of the
old fort which was destroyed by the
Confederates in 1862, when it was eva
cuated by the Confederate garrison.
The bricks and granite used in build
ing the new fort were brought from
Philadelphia, The brick are "Phila-
delphia Pressed Brick" and the work.
manship in the various departments is
as fine as any in the land.
Quite number of citizens, now old
men. of Biloxi, worked on the fort and
assisted in modelling the guns.
The guns were 10 and 15-inches Rod
man, smooth bores.
They were sold for junk only a few
years ago. The purchasers used dy-
Mantle to break them up SO the material
could be handled in shipping it away.
One of the 15-inch guns was left at
the fort, where it now is, as well as
several pieces which were too heavy to
handle.
Ship Island was used as a prison for
the Confederates captured in this part
of the South, where many died and
were buried in the sand. AT one time
during the war the s.Mobile Cadets" a
company of boys, were captured and
sent to the island, which was at that
time under command of Ben Butler.
The prisoners were compelled to carry
all the wood necessary for cooking and
to carry them in bundles ON their backs
| from the timbered part of the island to
camps, on the west end.
AT the time the presnt fort was built
+, and for many years after, there was
quite village from the fort to the
present light house. There were many
buildings some very large. These grad
ually succumbed to decay and storms
| as did the large wharf which was bet
ween the light house. The old light
house was of bricks and Gem ent. 1t
was undermined by the great storm OF
1893, October End, and the new one was
built farther back from the north shore.
The present "Fort Massachusetts"
had no connection with the civil war and
! the Confederate prisoners.
| Before the storms of 1893 and 1901
there was good deal of land between
the fort and the channel. These two
storms destroyed nearly all of the west
end of the island and left the fort in the
water.

The Mississippi oyster commissioners
aboard the states boat, visited all the
oyster reefs in Mississippi waters this
week and found them literally covered
with millions of oysters, all of which
are. however, too small to be marke-
table yet. Most of them will not be
large enough to be handled this season
but by next year they should be marke-
table and by that time, there will be
enough marketable oysters on the Mis-
sissippi reefs to last all the canneries
in the state for years, perhaps indeii-
nltely if the growth of the reefs is cum
ulative and continuous.
II was decided by the commission
not to open the Mississippi reefs at the
regular time for the beginning of the
oyster season, but the Cat Island and
the Buoy reefs may be opened about
the first of the year.
There were present on the trip Com
missoners Duncan Minor, t. j. B. Kel-
ler, Peter Eskald, Frank Lewis, and
Frank ] .Ladner, Secretary Hewes, Cap
tain John Mcdonald of Pass Christian,
The finding of the commission con-
firms reports OF local oystermen that
the reefs were in fine condition, al
though the large supply of oysters
might not be Immediately available.
Everything points, however, to the
steady aud continued prosperity of the
industry in Mississippi. With this
splendid start, and with the careful con-
servation methods of the commission
s4ississippi's canneries should take
leading place. Biloxi Herald.

SERIOUSLY ILL,
During Early Part of Week,
But Is Now Better and on

Overwork and Heat Res
ponsible for General Col :
lapse - Three Physicians
Pull Him Over Crisis and
Recovery Now In Sight.

x-Congressman E. J. Bowers, from
this Sixth Congressional District, was
taken seriously i'll during the early
hours Of Tuesday morning and it was
at one time thought he would not re-
cover.
He was attending Federal court at
Biloxi Monday and appeared to be in
the best of health and spirits. His
work and the heat of the day combined
is thought to have heen too much for
him. Returned to mis- home at Gulfport
that night he ate heartily of dinner and
retired, nervous he could not sleep.
Later he was discovered i'll and uncon-
seious and it was after many hours that
he regained consciousness and only af-
ter the work of three physicians. Two
local physicians attended him and a
specialist from Mobile and friend of
the family was dispatched for.
By long distance telephone yester-
day The Echo learned that Mr.. Bowers
was doing as well as expected and his
physicians thought he might be able to
be up Sunday. No further particulars
than the above could be learned. 1t
was plain, however, that Mr.. Bowers
had been overworked and the hot
weather was too much for him.
Hisimporoved condition is good news.
The people of this community in COM
mon with the Echo hopes for his early
and permanent recovery. Mr.. Bowers
lived in Bay ST. Louis and Hancock
county for over twenty years. 1t was
while .yesiding here that he climbed the
ladder tof success-from country attor-
ney to the halls of Congress of the
Nation, and from which he resigned af-
ter serving many terms and giving this
district such service as it never had
1t was with general regret his resigna-
tion took effect. Although no more a
resident of Bay ST. Louis the people
hold he and his family in that same
fond estimation as when they were OF
our number and the news of his serious
illness was received with much concern.
The Echo is glad to learn of his re-
covery and SO are his friends who are
located in this city, county and over the
State.
