Q--As | have no one to
advise me, | come to you
with my troubles. About a
year ago. | met the only man
Ill ever care for. He called
on me several times, then
left suddenly for Frisco,
where he is now working.
He never spoke of marriage,
but he made me care for
him. haven't had a word
from him since. l am "a
years old and have steady
work, but no matter how
hard l try | cant get this
man out of my thoughts. IL
/ lose him, I'm afraid I'll
lose my mind, as l love him
so much.
Please don't throw this
away as l shall depend upon
your good advice. Would IL
be proper for me to write to
him. Thanking you a thou
sand times for your trouble,
1 trust to hear from you at
your earliest convenience.
OKEN-HEARTED GIRL.
A.-You can scarcely expect "a
wade out of the blues 50 long as
you let that ancient idea that he
10 ''the only man yOun ever care
for" rule you. It takes more than
hard work To drown an iBfstua-
ton; your mind must work In
harmony with your hands. You
viii be a very foolish girl IL you
step so far out of your path as 20
write to the young man. IL he
does not care for you, it Is scarce
~ your fault, and you viii get
very tired of loving a man forever
and ever, who gives not one spark
of love In return. You can never
get what you want in this world
by refusing to accept the inevi-
table. The process is peculiarly
feminine, and one which makes
for women half of her misery.
Better face conditions as they
are, forget the past, and shape a
new and better future. Hearts do
not break for lack of happiness.

CANDY AND ICE CREAM
FOR THAT RUM HABIT
Best Cure For Drunkenness Says Bos'
ton Doctor.

Boston, Mass, June 10.-The richest
ice cream and plenty of fine choco-
lates are the best cure for di,irium
tremens or plain drunkenness either,
according TO DR.. Andreas F. Christian,
a leading Back Bay practitioner,
Take the case of man who has
been on a spree for a long time," said
he, "and the best cure is to give him
some suitable food, thereby saving
the stomach from digesting itself. Ice
cream has cooling effect and the
coldness absorbs the heat of the alco-
holic Inflammation. In ice cream we
have the fat of real cream plus the gel
atine, which acts as a protective layer
for the mucous membrane. It absorbs
alcohol poison and cools, protects and
heals.
"a drunkard has alcohol in his blood
in large quantities when he is on a
spree. When he gets candy in his
stomach at this time he digests 1t and
creates more alcohol out Of the sugar.
But, strangely enough, this alcohol will
serve to dealcoholize the stomach and
eventually the system"

DR.. Robert Donald, county health OF.
icer, today confirmed the story Of un-
sanitary sewerage at the Normal Col
lege as told through The News Tues
day evening by Theodore Smith and
John Colmer, who live near the open
bitches and creeks that take care of
the overflow from the Normars sep
tic tank.
"I have known of the condition for
some time" said DR.. Donald today,
"and have given it no little thought.
I have even made the threat to Presi-
dent Joe Cook that unless he remedied
this condition l would go to the dis
trict attorney and have an Injunction
sworn out restraining the college from
using this system any longer. l did
not do this only because l knew what
a serious blow 1t would be to the Nor.
NAL College and I thought it best to
continue to try other means of bring.
ing about the remedy.
Just Complaint.
"The people who live in the neigh
borhood certainly have just com
plaint," he said. "The conditions are
very bad and should have been rene
died long ago. There is no doubt that
this polluted water breeds mosquitoes
and that they carry malaria into homes
in the neighborhood."
The City Commissioners this after.
noon are inspecting the sewerage sys
tenn at the Normal College.
The commissioners this morning
said they would make no statement re.
garding the matter until they have
made a detailed examination of the
conditions and of the methods that
might be used to correct them. II is
understood however, that the commits
sioners will face serious financial
problem when they attempt to provide
a modern sewerage system. In fact,
this will be impossible, 1t is claimed,
unless bond issue is floated, and the
commissioners hesitate to take such a
step at the present time.

GREEK WINS MARATHON
RACE AND $45 PURSE
Streets OF Hattiesburg Converted Into
Temporary Race-Track.

A Marathon today at noon over the
hot pavements Of Hattiesburg for a
$45 purse was won by John FOkakis.
The contestants were the Greek fruit
vender and three small sons Of Ham.
The race was more or less impromptu
The course was selected by the negro
boys. The start was from Mobile and
Pine streets and led through various
alleys until it ended in the southern
edge of the city.
The purse In the first place belonged
to Fokakis. He left 1t in the cash
drawer while he went outside to wait
on a customer. He left the boys In
the shop. When he came back the
purse was missing and SO were the
boys. Not long after he saw them on
the streets and Immediately he made
a dash for them. They ran up past
the hotel and doubled into an alley
with Fokakis in pursuit. Up one alley
and down the next the course led until
they entered Front street, going south.
Fokakiss might have had'the assist
ance of the passerby, but he says he
could not think of the English word
for stop Thief" With tongue pro-
truding Fokakis finally hooked one Of
the boys in the shirt collar and hauled
him to the nearest policeman.
The boy was taken to the city
court and after $500 had been taken
from his pockets he was taken down
stairs to be locked up. On the stair
way he bolted, however, and would
have made a clean getaway, had not
Willie Cubley, who was a spectator to
the race, rudely halted his progress
toward freedom.
The two smaller negro boys who
eluded Fokakis are still at large.

MANY STRANGE PERSONS
REPRESENT DARKEST Countries
Zulu Warriors, Witch Doctors, kaffirs
And swiss YodeIers Minsle With
The rhreng-0arbs and Dresses Of
All Nations Meet To Confer.
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 10.-The Worlds
Congress. of the Salvation Army will
open here tomorrow. A large num-
Der of delegates have already arrived,
and 1t is expected that during the
next two weeks-for the Congress
will continue until June 26-there will
be present for at least part Of the
time more than 5000 delegates from
every corner of the world.
ut is not a congress in the true
sense of the word, however" Briga-
der Perry, the organizer Of the
Armys work in this country, has ex-
planned, because we have no debates
or discussions.
This is the first congress we have
had since 1904, and it will give many
of our leaders an opportunity of meet
ing General Booth for the first time.
Over 1000 delegates from overseas
will meet 5000 from various parts Of
Great Britain. Forty-five different ma
tionalities and colonies will be repre-
sented and "a different languages
spoken. The $50 delegates from the
United States will include both white
people and negroes, while one con-
tingent of reformed drunkards will
bear proudly on their banner their
own selected title Of the United Or
der of Reformed Boozers.,.
"The South African contingent will
include a Zulu warrior, witch doc
tor, 'ricksaw boy and redblanket
Kaffir. All the South American states
and, of course, all European countries,
will be represented. Some of the
crew of the lifeboat Catherine Booth,
which patrols the Norwegian coast,
and has been instrumental in saving
797 fishing boats and 1926 men, will
attend. There will be a Newfound-
land fishery contingent, with white
seals embroidered on their blue jer-
seys; some of the workers in the
leper settlements on Java and Su-
matra, among whom will be Doctor
Willie, former Copenhagen physician,
who gave up a lucrative practice to
take up his work; and contingent
from the so-called criminal tribes of
India, with whom thieving is not only
almost a part of their religion, but
their only means Of liveli-
hood.
among the other delegates will be
Swiss yodelers, an Italian baud, Span
iards, Cingalese and Koreans. One
delegate has led nomad life among
the Lappa. They will all attend in
their native costumes, and will thus
take part in the opening parade
the streets of London and the
big demonstration in Hyde Park"

TOLLS DEBATE IN
ITS LAST STAGES
ADMINISTRATION LEADERS SAY
1T WILL CARRY IN SENATE BY
SAFE MAJORITY.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 10.-The long and
historic depate over the canal tolls
repeal is in its last stages today. A
vote is expected in the senate before
adjournment tonight. Administration
leaders claim that the repeal will pass
with safe majority.
Senator Ashurst in a speech on the
canal tolls repeal said he didn't know
whether the compromise amendment
would go down in history as the Sim
mons Amendment or the Norris
Amendment, but suggested that it be
called the Simmons tango, because 1t
is step forward, two steps backward
and one step to the side.
The Hattiesburg news., 1914-06-10

the ground between the Normal Col
lege and the nearest city sewer main,
and 1t is estimated that the cost of con-
structing this sewer. will be $1,000 or
$4,000.
Want Sewer Built.
The sentiment is very freely ex-
pressed by many citizens that this sew
er ought to be built. Whether the
state should pay for the construction,
or the Normal College itself should de-
fray all or part of teh expenses, or the
city should stand the expense is a
question yet to be decided. 1t has been
suggested that city and state and Nor
NAL College might stand the expense
between them without making the tax
unjustly heavy on anyone, but the trou-
BILE with this arrangement, If it could
be effected at all, is that the legisla-
ture of Mississippi will not meet for
nearly two years and the citizens are
decidedly unwilling that any such un-
sanitary condition be continued for
that length of time.
Many are in favor Of issuing the in
,, junction against the college at once,
; claiming that II such a procedure
were resorted to 1t would be but a
short time until the place is cleaned
up. 1t is expected that by tomorrow
the commissioners will have devised
some plan for relieving the situation
at least temporarily, and their report
is awaited with much interest.
AS evidence that the people of the
city generally did not know that milk
cows were drinking polluted water
near the Normal until told about it in
The News, Manager Collier, of Mag
nolia Dairy. which is near the Normal
College grounds reports that scores of
his patrons, thinking his cows were
pastured where they had access to this
creek, telephoned him to stop bringing
them milk. Mr.. Collier does not, how
ever, anticipate that he will lose any
customers permanently, as his cows
are fenced In so they cannot reach the
impure water and are watered from a
peed we'll on his place.
