didn't he raise their taxes in 1912
when he first went into office? Why
wait until the year before the election
and until after he saw that he could
not get the Revenue Agents office ?"
The facts are, the Railroad Com
mission did raise the assessment Of
the public service corporations in
1912, the first year Of our term Of
office, and the first chance we had to
do 1t. We raised the assessment again
in 1918, but we did not raise the as
sessment in 1914, as he would have
you believe.
Now, | would like,to show just why
he has found it necessary to misrep-
resent me in this manner. The pur-
pose Of II is Of course to injure me,
If possible, and to get some votes for
himself, and thus he is attempting to
elect himself to Office by misrepresent-
ing his opponent. / do not believe he
will accomplish anything by this sort
Of tactics. He is not fooling anybody
but himself. l do not believe any man
can get Office in Mississippi by mis-
representing his opponent, if the PEG
pie know II before hand.
The only things l have said about
Mcdowell in this campaign are:
First, that he is being supported by
the railroads, and proved that state
ment.
Secondly, that he failed to perform
his sworn duty to the people under
me in the bond suit while | was State
Treasurer, but on the contrary did
represent the bond holders, in viola
ton of the plain letter Of the law,
and he admits il in his circular.
| have said that he was a member
of the famous malodorous secret eau
Gus, that he betrayed the people Of
Kinds County and the people of Mis-
sissippi when he voted in that caucus
against Jas. X. Vardaman; when he.
used every cunning known to the Sc
cret caucus lawyers to defeat the will
Of the people by circulating every
vindictive falsehood about
Senator Vardaman known only to the
ingenuity of a secret caucus lawyer.
have said that he voted to expel
Senator Bilbo from the Senate and
the Senate Journal, page 900 Of 1910,
proves that statement; II any Of these
statements are denied, all the people

Often the Carrier Of Dangerous Dis
ease Germs.
Ice creams are artifcially frozen
dishes of comparatively recent origin.
The term ''ice cream is used in this
country to cover a large variety Of
products containing either milk or
cream with sundry flavoring sub.
stances. II is often made of the very
poorest quality Of cream or milk to be
found on the market. It is crowded
with bacteria. Investigations conduct
ed in many towns have shown that the
ice cream as sold to the customer Of
ten contains millions of bacteria.
Further, the ice cream is often made
IN cellars or other insanitary places
and is generally handled with great
lack Of cleanliness. Freezing does
not kill the bacteria in milk or cream.
Ice cream has proven to carry infec
tions, such as typhoid fever. If tu-
bercle baeilli consumption germs) are
in the ice cream they are probably
quite as active as they were before the
freezing process. Ice cream is some
times kept a long time before it Is
sold, and sometimes it Is re-frozen ar
ter it has been handled and exposed.

Beer Drinking and Its Effects Upon
Human Progeny.

Human Progeny.
Colonel L. Mervin Maus, of the u.
S. Army Medical Corps.>
Many who denounce ardent spirits,
consider beer a wholesome and sus-
tanning food Beer drinkers are es-
pecially liable to fatty and enlarged
heart, diseases of the liver and kid
neys complicated with dropsy, arterio-
sclerosis, govt and rheumatism.
The mortality of brewers between
the ages of so and 60 is about three
times as great as that of individuals
who follow the ordinary occupations of
life. In fact the mortality Of liquor
dealers and brewery men, with few
exceptions, is greater thaa that of any
other occupation. Doctors Bauer and
Bollinger, of Munich, report that the
beer drinkers heart in that city causes
one death to every sixteen from other
diseases. There is marked contrast
in the general appearance and physical
condition of the beer drinker at 40 or
30 years Of age and the abstainer at
the same period of life and almost in
variably in favor Of the latter.
As a result of the continued use of
beer post-mortems discloses a dilated
stomach, fatty heart, diseased arteries,
liver, kidneys, yellow adipose de-
post under the skin, and general in
jury to the tissues throughout the
system. Graphically speaking, the
constitution Of the chronic beer drink
err is "shot to pieces" at 40 or 80
years of age, and his system may be
aptly compared to the condition of a
wooden structure in the Philippines,
which has been honeycombed by white
ants. Insurance companies as rule
refuse this character of risk. A large
number of interesting and exhaustive
experiments have been made by the
most celebrated scientists in Germany,
Austria and Scandinavia to determine
the effects of alcohol in moderate
quantities on the mind, body and |
heredity. Beer was used in many of
these experiments. Volt and Schaef-
fer found that alcohol neither in
creases brain energy nor muscular
power. Kruz and Kraepelin have
shown that less than three ounces Of
alcohol e liters of beer) daily for
twelve days lessened working capacity
from 25 to 40 per cent. Furer tells
us that the moderate use of alcohol
affects memory and ability to add
figures.
Exner has proven that it decreases
he rapidity of receiving and sending
messages. Bager has
shown that children who drink one or
.wo glasses of beer daily stand lower
n their classes than abstinent chill
iren. The effect Of alcohol on the hu-
nan progeny has been one Of the
most prominent studies of German
md Austrian scientists during recent
ears, the majority Of whom have ad-
-ocated its abandonment, not only on
recount Of its effect on the individual,
tut on his progeny.
In his address before the Thirteenth
Congress Against Alco- ,
iolism at the Hague in 1911, DR..
Of Vienna, states that DR..
loose has statistics to show that 81
er cent Of the sons Of brewery work
hen were unfit for military service.

he daughters was likewise defective,

nat 81 per cent Of the children Of 2

causer who is trying to line up his
gang with him and at the same time
fool the common people of Mississi-
sippi who believe in honest men in Of
flee and clean, honest politics.
After what have said above, the
people will not wonder that the rail-
roads selected this sort Of a man as
their candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner.
!. Mr.. Mcdowell says the Legislature
paid the $4O0 lawyers fee in the bond
litigation. / paid the fee myself out
Of my own hard-earned savings and
about a year after that the Legisla-
ture returned the money to me, taking
the view, as they did, that the Attor-
ney General should have represented
me in that case.
Mr.. Mcdowell says further: "If
the present Commissioners are compe-
tent, and have the peoples interests
at heart, why it Is that they pass SO
many orders, which the Supreme
Court condemns
The Supreme Court Of Mississippi
has never, so far as | have been able
to learn, condemned or turned down
single order Of the present Rail
road Commission, excepting the back
tax assessment fthe Western Union
Telegraph Co., which order was made,
on the advice of the Attorney General,
and in this case, the Court simply de
cided that the Commission could mot
assess back taxes, except on the re
quest Of the Revenue Agent.
Mr.. McDowell's chief argument why
he should be elected Railroad Com
missioner is that he is a-lawyer. If
he was very much Of a lawyer, don't
you think it strange that he would. be
out here running for a little job like
Railroad Commissioner But the Rail
road Commission already has a law
yer. The law makes the Second As
sistant Attorney General the attorney
for the Railroad Commission. Mr.. Nc
Dowell knows this, because he intro
duced the bill creating this place, and
after the secret caucus adjourned, Mr..
Mcdowell resigned his seat in the
State Senate, and was appointed AS
sistant Attorney General. As he was
a member of the Legislature which |
created the Office of Second Assistant |
Attorney General, it would have been !
illegal for him to hold that office, so
he was appointed First Assistant At
torney General, and so Mr.. Mcdowell |
got his'n."

necessary for me to contradict these
false statements, but l have felt that

IN WEST VIRGINIA.

A passenger conductor Of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad writes to Hon. Fred o. Blue. state tax com missioner of West Virginia, as fol lows: T was doubtful, as was every body else, as to the effect such a law would have. 1 must confess that the immediate effect has been almost be- yond belief. We have now passed several pay days and Saturdays, and there has been absolutely no drinking worth mentioning, and where I had to endure personal risk in fist encounters almost every week to secure order from some drunks, 1 now handle even larger crowds with comparative ease. The women and children are now trav- cling, partly on the money that was spent for booze and partly because they are not afraid to travel. The re- suits seem too good to last, but if all the officers of the law keep after it, see no reason why things shall not be even better as time goes on. This is a pretty unqualified indorsement for 8 railroad conductor who has been up against the world and a rough part of the world for 90 years, but I feel that the changed conditions war rant it."
 The following was received from a large coal operator of the state: T never in my life saw such a great improvement in the way of behavior and manly conduct as on the passenger train of the Cabin Creek branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio since whisky ceased to be a merchandising proposi- tion in our state. Further, I notice with great pleasure that a large DOT tion of our men who used to go out to get whisky are now spending this time with their families or at the Y. M. c. A., and a portion of the money which originally went for whisky is now going toward the entertainment of their families, which means untold pleasures for the children"
 MT. Blue concludes his report with this statement: Such letters from men in touch with the practical every day life speak with more convincing power than anything l can say"

CONCRETE DIPPING VATS
The Most Practical Method For Tick
 Eradication.

The most practical method for tick eradication in Arkansas is the use of the concrete dipping vat and the svs- tematic dipping of cattle. Immediate ly after county is placed in the tick eradication district, from 25 to 40 dipping vats are built in various sec. tions or the county. The vats are To- cated so that cattle will not have to be driven more than three miles to be dipped
 Cattle are allowed free range and are not quarantined in pastures. but every three weeks during the summer season they are dipped at a designated vat. Where the majority of people want to eradicate the tick it only takes about two years to clean a cour- ty, however, it can be done quicker. The only reason for taking two years is that with some cattle owners rn- different or hostile, cattle are often hard to find on the range.
 The system of constructing dipping vats and the systematic dipping of cattle has passed beyond the experi- mental stage. Tn Arkansas the sys tematic dipping of cattle was frs, tried by the writer in Newton county The cattle were allowed the freq range and were dipped every three

The strait known as the Dardanelles (the Hellespont of the ancients) unites the Sea of Marmora with the Aegean. part of the Mediterranean sea. It Is so called from two castles by which the narrowest part is pro. tected, and which preserve the name Of the city of Dardanus in the Troad. In terms of the treaty of 1S41, con- frmed by the treaty of Paris of 1856. no foreign ship of war may enter the strait except by permission of the government of Turkey, and even mer- chant vessels are only allowed to pass the defending forts during the day.
