HOLIDAY OR HALF HOLIDAY
STIRS HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS

some students Of the school inquired
about the halliday affair to Miss
Welsh. the secretary. Miss Welsh
could give no definite answer and
thought maybe the school would be
open half of the day" The rumor
was soon spread throughout the
school building and ever since then
the school has been in excitement.
The question is the principal topic at
recess and during the three-minute
intervals between periods.
According to members OF the
faculty the old rule book or the schools
compelled the schools to be open half
tho day. while a new and amended
book OF rules orders the schools closed
all day. The students and nearly all
the members OF the faculty are In

was to make 1t at home, which Is

Banking Facilities.

In 1900 Tupelo had two banks,
with a total capital and surplus
of $128, 900, and the combined
deposits were $l66, 900. In 1910
we had four handsome banks
with six branches, having a COM
bined capital and surplus of 1923,
900 with total deposits running
to 81, O27. 900. At the close of
business in 1912 three banking
institutions had capital and sur
plus of $472, 900, with deposits
amounting to So, O36, 686. 40.
No better criterion of the SOL
idity and permanency of a city
is afforded than the condition of
its banking institutions. Tupelo
is quite willing to be gagged by
that standing. The strength of
the Tupelo banks has long been
a cause for state as well as local
pride, and the fact that Tupelo
ldistriis a buting and banking
point for a large area of pros
porous territory, is destined to
give her even wider prominence

ANGEL, SLEEVE HAS RETURNED
Somewhat Different From Those of
Another Day, but Practically
Along the Same Lines.

Angel sleeves have returned. They
are not exactly like the ones of other
days. They show grace in the flowing
lines and cIeverness in adjustment,
and they also show something new
The regular set-in sleeve has been
supplanted by the loose overdrapery-
In some cases it is a straight piece of
wide lace, caught at the shoulders
under clasps, hooked in place after
being wound in scarflike lines over
the arms and shoulders; in others it
is a sleeve with extremely widening
lines, and there need be no seams or
gathers. Tassels weight down the
edges. and jeweled landings, rhine
stones being in first favor, edge the
gauzy drapery and hold the flowing
sleeves in place.
Tulle, maline, shadow laces and ex-
Quisite metallic effects on gauzes and
nets are used for angel sleeves. says

CLEAR HEADED
Head Rookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee did for him. CTea is just as
injurious because it contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
MY wife and I drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. Ny
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but 1 became convinced, after
time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. 1 happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that I give Postum a
trial.
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it suf-
ficiently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now we like it so much that we
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing a food beverage instead of a drug,
has been the means of banishing my
stomach trouble, I verify believe, for
I am q we'll man today and have used
no medicine.
