DR.. Gibson mentioned the cure in his

at todays session. IL provides cure by

I'm healthy robust persons even before
the wen known symptoms begin to form
and cures can be effected in advanced
cases in remarkably short time.
In his paper today DR.. Gibson said:
1T might seem that have allowed my
enthusiasm to run away with me In
studying this cure, but think a feeling
of qualification, at least, Is justified when
I say that out of 757 cases thus treated
there have been only sixty-one deaths.

the x-ray will finally bring about the
emancipation Of the human race from
this dreadful scourge. In a few years.
when the method is better developed, It
will be a disgrace for a physician TO

The ministry IS not an inviting hed to the young man but when We

the matter of money plays a very unimporant part in reaching the

Under the above caption the Vicksburg Herald makes the fol
lowing comment IN Senator Vardamans statement given to the
press Sept s at Montgomery City, Mo, that Wilson will receive
the nomination for President and be re-elected:"
I'VE look on this confession of faith and abjuraton Of inhdelity
as the most conspicuous single piece of proof yet, OF the growth OF
the Woodrow Wilson boom 1t is like the coming over of the 18th
Juror. Only by way of pointing the moral of a most commendable
change of heart is a former prediction of Senator Vardaman quoted
that When President Wilson signs the bill repeating the canal
tolls exemption, he will be virtually signing his political death war
rant. And Just a year ago, when the treasury was nenaced by the
deep cut IN the revenues from the wal disturbances, be joined with
the Republicans to embarrass the President in the following attack
upon the bill for supplying the necessary revenues:
There is no doubling that the war in Europe brought TO the
Democratic party a great advantage. If this can be held until cleo
ton the power OF the party IN congress will not be lessened. But no
sooner has the party obtained this unlocked for advantage when a
misstep promises to lose it all. a war tax is unnecessary at this
fortunate had the Democrats beat the Republicans to their most
sensible conclusion.
The motive of the most sensible conclusion of the Republ-
cans was transparent. BY beating the administration bill they cal
culated on a treasury condition that would force the country back
to the high protective tariff. 1t is charitable to assume that Senator
Vardanan never saw the inwardness of the scheme to which he
loaned himself. But let bygones be by gones. Now that the white
Chief Is back on the reservation he may remain a good Indian
in the language of the immortal Sam Jones quit his fooishness'
Having had his eyes opened by what he saw in Iowa-and perhaps
heard from home-let us hope he will now stand hitched There
will be opportunities IN the coming session for him to help make
good his prediction by speech and vote. Another revenue bill is to
be passed-one not only to supply the funds of the one passed a
year age over his vote which expires in December, but for providing
revenues tor the administrators program Of preparedness for
war"

gracefully and so pointedly so many
good things about Grenada that the
liberty to publish it is taken:
East, West, Homes Best, is a
trite old saying, and IT came to my
mind many times last Saturday when
attending the very excellent meeting OF
the Mississippi Travellers Association
at Grenada, for though have moi lived

streets, granolithic walks when ] think
of the old town of yesterday, with
streets which were mostly streaks of
deep dust running through the weeds
and grass, plank walks, ragged fences,

" spirit that was evidenced in all parts
of the city. As for the people, they
are the same. There can be no better
people anywhere on earth, true to their
friends, sympathetic and a hospitality
unmatched.
Every feature of the splendid re-
ception last Saturday was perfect in
every detail, and feel safe in saying
that every visitor will in all the future
sing the praises of Grenada.
Yours very truly,
