HEAL Til GAINS IN
MISSISSIPPI TOLD
State Getting 100 Cents
For Every Dollar, Z Re-
ports Expert.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. i4.-The report
OF r. 6. Cranch, expert auditor for the
Legislative investig gating committee,
after investigation of the books, ac-
counts and affairs in general of the
State Board of Health, is interesting.
DR.. E. FL. Galloway, secretary of the
board of health, is elated over the report
as it shows the board to be doing a great
work in this state.
Some of features of the report follows:
eve find all cash appropriated to this
board gcorrectly accounted for and
economically used. The condition of
the records is excellent, and the health
department deserve commendation for
their careful and painstaking work.
ssThe State Board of Health works in
conjunction with the Rockefeller sanitary
commission in the eradication OF the
hookworm disease. This commission
has voted over $4,000 per year to this
work for the past two years.
ssThe income from examination fees is
not so well k ept as the appropriation
income, but the money has been ac-
counted for and divided between the
members of the board of health who
manage the examinations and correct
the papers.
ssThe fees collected through the
bureau of vital statistics are required to
be turned over to the state treasurer
In a section of the reported headed
"Observations" the auditor, amoug
other things, says:
aOur first comment on the health
department is that the people OF the
state are certaily receiving 100 cents for
every dollar appropriated to and expend-
ed by the board of health.
"When it is realized that only about
three years ago the board confined itself
to very little more than examining ap-
plicants for licenses to practice medicine
it can be seen what tremendous strides
have been taken by the state public
health department. Officials say it is es-
sential for the Legislature to appropriate
at least SAB 900 for 1914, and S41, 900 for
1875, 20 properly carfY on the work or
the department. During the year 1913
the expenditures of the board amounted
| to Sf1.7l7.49, and the vital statistics
bureau, started in 1912, $4,000.

THOUSANDS Of
ACRES IN ORANGES
A Few Statistics Concern :
ing Satsuma and Pean In
dustry On Coast.

Gulfport, December 15.-John Lister
of the idustrial department of the L. &c
N. has given the Herald some interest
ing figures on the Satsuma and pecan
industry on the Gulf Coast. At Pas
cagoula there are 1916 acres of pecans
and seventy acres of Satumas. AT
Ocean Springs there are 1000 acres Of
pecans and $50 of oranges. One man,
G. II. Woodward, at Ocean Springs has
10000 Satsuma trees and 10,S50 pecans
trees, all of which will be bearing in a
few years.
At Grand Bay there are 1000 acres of
Satsumas, there being two farms Of 800
acres and 265 acres each, An idea of
the immensity of the industry can be
gained when it is remembered that t08
Satsuma trees are planted to the acre
and II pecan trees. The Pascagoula
yield in pecans this year is estimated at
IA, 5000 pounds. All Of the trees men,
toned will be bearing in a few years
and many of them are now producing.
The past week F. FL. Lewis of Pas
cagoula received an order for paper
shell pecans from Glasgow, Scotland.

START YOUR LIVER, DON'T STOP WORK
Dodsoa's Liver Tone Acts Mildly, but Surely.
Livens Up The Liver and You Stay
On Your Feet.

It is the experience Of calomel users
that if they take enough of the drug to
have the desire effect, it seriously in
terferes with their work the day after.
But this is the least important item, for
calomel is often dangerous drug and
acts on the system violently.
Don't take chances with calomel.
Get bottle of the pleasant, safe and
harmless Dodson's Liver Tone, guar
anteedto take the place of calomel. In
stead of making you feel worse the next
day it makes you feel better-and you
actually are better, for no remedy in the
whole world livens up the liver, regu-
lates the bowels and really rejuyenates
the system any better than this dose.
You are the sole Judge of its merits.

to hand you back your money without

GALA NEW YEARS OFFERING
KIaw and ErIanger's Stupendous Production
ssBen-Hur'' Will Inaugurate the New Year
at the Tulane Theatre.

Spectacular magnihcence, dramatic
splendor and religious ecstacy are the
most notable concomitants of Klaw and
Erlanger's international production of
"Ben-Hur" which will be the offering at
the Tulane Theater, New Orleans, for
one week beginning Monday, ,Decsmber
Doth. Matinees are scheduled for
Wednesday, New Years Day and Sat-
urday. During the fourteen years
which have passed since the original
grandeur, but have elaborated and de-
veloped the possibilities of the produc-
ton each season, until today it stands
unrivaled in beauty of establishment,
unsurpassed in dramatic significance
and power. It was the 'flast word" of
the stage craft of the nineteenth century
and into the new age it brought big
ness and perfection which will remain
the standard for decades to come.
Dealing with the earth life of Jesus,
the most important period in history,
"Ben- Her" shows the world at its most
wonderful point in magihcence and
! wealth, for Rome ruled the world and
Casear Augustus was Emperor of the
mightiest realm the earth had known.
Into this time of display and pomp came
the 1owly Nazarene, the Cnristos for
whom the nation had longed, and it is
this personality of Jesus that, permeat-
| ing the fabric of the Wallace-Y oung
drama, makes it sermon as well as a
drama of tremendous significance. The
reverence with which the imminence of
Christ is indicated has made sBen- Hur''
la religious pageant, while the sweep Of
! the story of Ben-Hur and Messiah,
Esther and Iras, carries audience off
their feet, the elimination of the drama
tic plot being the chariot race, wherein
Ben-Hur conquers and degrades his
enemy.
Nothing more realistic than this scene
lin the arena of the Circus of Antioch
with Ben-Hur and Messala driving
quadruple teams of equine thorough :,
lbreds contesting fer supremacy has ever
lbeen imagined By q dramatisto or execut-
ed by producer The race enthralIs
because on It's outcome depends life.
Hove, honor riches to the victor, and
when Ben-Hur receives the victor's
IcroWn OF wild olive, audiences applaud
with greatest enthusiasm.
During the engagement at the Tu-
lane Theatre, New Orleans, the prices
win range from SOC. 81. ST 80 and 81 .Ot
| and seats will be placed on Wednesday
Imorning, December 9th.

Soon the intruder disappeared and the
