TOO MANY

Entirely too many murders are
being committed in this state.
Instead of decreasing, they seem
to be on the increase, and this
increase will continue until those
inclined to spill human blood are
convinced that swift and sure
punishment will follow the COM
mission of crime.
Mississippi cannot expect to
prosper as she should until she
proves to the world that human
life is as safe here as in any spot
in the world. jackson Clarion
Ledger.
Within the past ten days there
has been an unusually large
number of killings in the state.
The reports of these killings de-
tract from the good name of the
state and we are too frequently
referred to as a lawless state.
Nine out OF ten killings occur
because concealed weapons are
carried. They are easily bought
and the habit of having them is
not regarded in a proper sense by
the people. The man who goes
armed habitually should be
looked upon as a common law
breaker and an enemy to society.
AS it is we tolerate the practice
and only occasionally does a PTS
toll toter run up against the law.
Until the practice of carrying
concealed weapons has been
abated, as a common evil, so
long will the daily reports of the
papers be filled with killings.

HOW NOBEL MADE DISCOVERY
of Handling NitrogIycerln
With Safety.

When that very dangerous explosive
nitroglycerin, was first invented ex-
t%raordinary precautions had to be TAX
en- to prevent accidents while the sub
stance was being handled, but, not
w~ithstanding this, SO many disasters
occurred that there seemed to be-
strong probabilities that it's manufac-
ture and use would have to be pro-!
hibited, says al English paper.
After several governments had actu-
ally interdicted it's use, however,
mean were discovered by which this
powerful explosive could be used with
a minimum of danger to those who
handled it.
One of the methods employed was to-,
convert the nitroglycerin into dyna-
mite by it's absorption in the infusorial
earth known as kieselguhr. This
process, however, involved a reduction
of the explosive power of the nitro
glycerin and explosives chemists per-
sisted in their researches to find some,
substance which, when added to nitro
glycerin, would render it safe for han
ding without diminishing it's explosive.
force.
One of these chemists was Nobel.
1t is IN record that one day while No
bel was at work in his laboratory he
cut his finger, and in order to stop
the bleeding he painted some collodion
"a liquid preparation akin to guncot~
tom over the cut to form a protective
artificial skin.
Having done this, he poured some of
the %collodion, by way of an experiment
into a vessel containing nitroglycerin,
when he noticed that the two sub
stances mixed and formed a jellylike.
mass.
He at once set to work to investi-
gate this substance, and the outcome
of these experiments was blasting gel
attn, a mixture containing 80 per cent
of nitroglycerin and 10 per cent of
soluble g%uncotton. Thus, as a result
of a very trivial occurrence, that VIC.
lent explosive, blasting gelatin, was
>~iscovered.

Use Zinc as Nuggets.

A shoveler in n of the Joplin zinc
mines who had seer in the movies how
the gold miners bought what they
needed with gold nuggets, recently
laid a small chunk Of zinc ere OF a
bar counter and called for a beer.
The bartender served the drink to
him and laid down 20 cents in change,
and of course the crowd laughed and
cheered.
Such is the spirit of the Joplin zinc
boom, with crude zinc ore now worth
sever cents a pound, which is about
so per cen higher thar the refined
product spelter has averaged for many
years.-Wall Street Journal.

Thin Folks Who

Increase i'm Weight Ten Pounds or

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able TO fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every eNces-
sively thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible. despite past
failures Thin people are victims Of
mal-nutTition a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal Instead of getting into the
blood. all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the inteStines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal. amount Of
fat the nutritiVe processes must be
artifiCially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
gol is a scientific combination of six
of the best strength giving. fat-pro-
ducing elements known 10 the medical
profession Taken with meals, il
