this regard until the legislature pass
es statutes similar to those applying
to the cattle industry in Texas; that
loans made on cattle in this state at
present are based more on the moral
character and business standing of the
man to whom the loan is made than
to the cattle offered as security. Sew
eraI bankers, among them being Pres'-
dent j. 3. Stirling, of the First Nation
al Bank of jackson, suggested that
public sentiment be must created that
will make it as dangerous for a mort

posed of as it is to unIawully dispose
of mortgaged bale of cotton.
An adequate statute covering this
subject, framed somewhat after the
Texas law, was prepared by w. j
Davis, and presented at the last legis
lative session, but the members were
too busy with other matters to give Il

SUDDEN

IMPAIR THE SYSTEM, SHORTEN
LIFE AND DO GREAT HARM.

If you knew that you could cure
yourself or your child of malignant
disease by the use of dynamite. would
you take the chance?
Calomoi acts on the sluggish liver
like dynamite on the solid rock.
It shocks and upsets the organs
and works much harm as proven by
its after effects.
Modern science has discovered a
vegetable substitutes that produces all
the desired effects of calomel without
the shock or after troubles. 1t is SO
harmless that acids may be taken
into the system Immediately after the
medicine without fear of after effects.
1t rids liver, kidneys and bowels of
all poisonous accumulations and
leaves the patient feeling new and
strong.

TO Save EYES
is THE OBJECT OF THIS FREE PRE-
SCRIPTiON-TRY 1T IF YOUR
EYES GIVE YOU TROUBLE.

Thousands of people suffer from eye
troubles, because they do not know
what to do. They know some good
home remedy for every other minor all
ment, but none for their eye troubles.
They neglect their eyes because the
trouble is not sufficient to drive them to
an eye specialist, who would, any way
charge them heavy fee. AS last re-
sort they go to an optician or to the
five and ten-cent store, and ofentimes
get glasses that they do not need, or
which, after being used two or three
months, do their eyes more injury than
good Here is a simple prescription
that every one should use:
grains DIPLOMA. Il Tablet
2 ounces water.
Use three or four times day to battle
the eyes. This prescription keeps the
eyes clean and quickly overcomes in
flammation and irritation. Weak, wa
terry, work-strained eyes, granular lids
and other similar troubles are greatly
benefited and oftentimes cured by its
use. Many who wear glasses have dis
carded them after using it for a rev
weeks. 1t is good for the eyes, ano
will not injure the most sensitive eyes
of an infant or the aged. Any druggist
can fill this prescription promptly. Try
it. and know for once what real eye
comfort Is.

while the National Association
cannot lay claim to the organization
of each and every individual piece of
anti-tuberculosis work developed dur
ing these years." says the report, 1T
is probably no exaggeration to say
that at least a great part Of this move
ment has been stimulated directly by
our association. 1t is, therefore, sig
nificant to you, who are members OF
the association to note that while the
entire budget of the National office
for this period has been only 100000,
federal, state, and local anti-tubercu-
losis agencies. both public and private,
have expended during this same
period practically 100000 O0."
DR.. Hatfield also reported upon the
Red Cross Christmas Seal sale for
last year and estimated that when all
the returns are in, the aggregate sale
will reach more than 100000 seals,
gain of 10 per cent over 1912. Plans
for the sale next fall have already
! Lcen perfected and the printing OF
the seals will soon be begun. Some
of the most significant developments
of new work during the past year
have been in the states of South Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. In
all of these states the new activities
have been stimulated by the sale O.

RAILROAD COMMISSION ISSUES
ORDERS COMPELLING SAFETY
ATTACHMENT.

jackson, Miss, May THE railroad
commission has issued an order re-
quiring every street railway in Mis-
sissippi to equip the cars with tenders
approved by the commission.
The order was issued after the Of
ficials of a number of street railways
in the state appeared in response to
summons issued by the commission to
come before it and show cause why
such an order should not be made.
There was no serious objection to the
proposition raised by any of the Of
ficials.
This is the second time the commits
sion has issued an order involving
street railway companies since the leg
islature at the last session passed a
bill placing such carriers under the
authority of that body. The first order
was one requiring the Vicksburg Street
Railway to issue transfers to passen'
gers desiring them. The company was
given until the first of this month to
comply, but at the earnest request OF
the officials the time was extended to
June at the meeting yesterday.
The order relative to tenders in
structs the street railways to equip
their cars with tenders within four
months.

LESS MEAT If BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys
if Bladder Bothers You-Drink
Lots of Water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro.
duces kidney trouble in some form OF
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot iniure anyone; makes
a delightful efferveseent lithia water
drink which millions of men and women
take now and then to keep the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding
serious kidney disease.-Advt.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Xlark-Urban Co. Opens Next Monday
With "Alias Jimmy Valentine"

Paul Armstrong says he wrote alias
Jimmy Valentine" which is the open
ing play OF the Klark- Urban company
at the Barre opera house next Monday,
with three major ideas in mind. First
he tried to show that certain classes of
criminals are mildly insane; that they
ply their yocstions without hope or
chance of reward and commit crimes
simply because they are fascinated by
it, held in the firm grasp of this fas-
cination, and cannot break away from
its influence. His second purpose was
TO expose the system by which paroled
or discharged convicts are preyed upon
by certain types of detectives who de-
sire their services as stool pigeons, and
hamper them in every way in their de-
sire to do right and lead good lives. His
third desire in writing the play was to
portray graphically one or more in
stances where criminal has been
helped to better himself and forsake a
life of crime through the good offers of
others. In this particular case, Valen-
tine ia changed from his downward
course by the love of good woman and
that love is sufficiently compelling to
bring about his complete regeneration.
Mr.. Armstrong asserts that whatever
may be the ultimate "money getting"
power of his play, he has accomplished
what he set out to do, and made his
three points reasonably clear to the
average theatre goer. Seats for this
play on sale at Browns Drug Store Fri.

A clean-c Cut Play.

Not surprise as many thought
might be the case, but a true picture of
life in the large city, picture in which
every detail was well taken care of so
that one did not necessitate any guess
ing to draw his conclusions. Such was
the character of the four act drama,
Little Lost Sister" the best offering
Of its kind in many seasons, produced at
the opera house last evening. Staged
from Virginia Brooks story OF the
white slave traffic of Chicago, the play
reveals the sin, vice and corruption that
is raging in the great cities; depicts the
terrible life of the fair country maiden
who gets the city craze and who knows
little of the trap that is being set for
her; also shows where much of the vice
can be accounted for. The man of high
standing, the financial man, he is the
one who can shoulder much of the
blame.
Special mention of acting could be
made of Gretchen Sherman, the insti
gator of the campaign against vices in
Chicago. She displayed rare ability in
character changing, taking three dis
tinct roles. Others worthy of mention
were Charles Henshaw, Harry Walker
Michael Crogan, Leo Dumont and
Grace Hutchinson.
Although witnessed by only a fair
audience the production held the at
tention of all and as for iniuring the
sensitive, there was nothing to it, for
the play was clean-cut and to the point
and will remain in the minds of those
who were fortunate in attending.

EXPLAINS INCOME
TAX TO FARMERS
U. S. Department "Splits Hogs" in Tell
ing Producers How to Com
mute

Washington, Feb. 26.--If farmer
slaughters porker, sells one ham and
eats the other, he will have to pay an
income tax on the one he sells, but not
for the other. That is, he will if the
ham brings his income up to $4,000 or
more for the year, according to depart
ment of agriculture statement yesterday
The department agrees that the inter
est of most farmers in this question is
purely academic" but gives the proper
method by which the farmer can arrive
at his net income. The purchase price
of machinery bought to replace WORKOUT
machinery may be deducted from the
gross income, but the only deduction
for other new machinery is depreciation
Anything consumed on the farm is not
a part of his income, according to law,
and he may deduct the rent of his farm
land from the gross income, but not the
rent Of his house, nor the expense of
supporting his family.

Doctors in all parts of the country

The symptoms of grip this year are
