The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1916-03-29

At the West Point meeting last
year the city of Laurel gave way
to Clarksdale as the place of meet
ing for the Mississippi Press Asso-
citation in 1916, so that this year
Laurel is counting on the pleasure
of entertaining the Press next
year.
Laurel is accessible, being locat-
ed at the Intersection of three
railroads; and, it is stated is the
only large city in the State that
has not had the honor of entertain
ing the State press.
Hon. Mott Ayres, of the Laurel
Leader, is the President of the M.
P. A. and cordially invites his
brethren of the quill to his home
town.

Green and Bennett ExOnerated.

The public hasn't been holding
its breath in the long g-pendine
cases of two well known Lincoln
county superintendents Of educa-
tion who were checked up some
ten years back as being personally
culpable, Irregularities being alleg-
ed in sums expended on our public
schools for teachers salaries: but

Saws the St. Loais Republie. z.

The Presidents ringing asser-
ton Of the inviolability of Ameri-
can rights and the saeredness of
American honor is the kind of ut
terance that has never, in the his
tory Of this Republic. failed Of en-
thusiastic response on the part of
the American people. 1t will be
responded to by Congress as well.
Washington sometimes has hazes
and mists of its own, but in the
final analysis the men who sit in
Senate and House are American

Women and Juvenile Reformatory.

In passing the juvenile reforma-
tory bill the Legislature left it per-
missive with the governor to ap-
point some women on the manag-
ing board, as they have requisite
sympathy and would see to it that
the institution is really reform
school and not a prison, as many
socalled reform schools unfortunate
ly are. Also, there are no finan-
cial scandals when the women are
in charge. It might be worth
Coy. Bilbo's time for him to go
over to East Lake, Ala, where
they have their reform school man
aged by women, and see how
things are carried on, before he
names our board of managers. He
would enjoy the trip and perhaps
be instructed by it.-Mize Record.

Anti-FIy Campaign.

It has been demonstrated that a
thousand flies can hatch out in a
cubic inch of manure. Can you
realize the millions Of flies that
may breed on your premises in the
short period of ten or twenty days
Any one of these may bring sick
ness to your family. Six million
six hundred thousand germs have
been found on a single fly. Over
a thousand on a fiy's foot. These
are not all pathogenic disease pro-
ducing) germs. but it has been
proved beyond any question that
tuberculosis germs and typhoid
germs are frequently found on the
fly.

FORMER FIGHTERS OF ROADS
NOW WANT SIS, 900 BOND
ISSUE.

Houlka, Miss.-Three petitions
for good roads are now being cir
culated in this district by men who
in the past have fought the idea
teeth to toenail. Roads west of
town have become so impossible
the farmers quit their knocking
and went to boosting for good
roads. Signers are very numerous
and it is thought now by the men
who have always boosted for grav
el roads that a bond issue of SIS, :
600 will be made during the spring
and summer. Thousands of dol
lars in trade come from the
Schooner bottom country west of
Houlka, and through this fertile
section the road will be built.
The business men of Houlka are
arranging matters so they can ex-
tend their good roads on to Buena
Vista, thereby making the connect
ing link from Iuka to Houston.
fheysrRiit alsopuSh the roads fur
ther west and sbuth, for since their
building the trade of the town has
increased many thousands of dol
lars.
Travelling men who make Hous-
ton their pivot point carried sever
al men and boys out west of town
to fix bad place in the road.
They are boosters from sun to sun,
and it now looks as if the whole
county will soon be a network OF
good roads. We need them and
need them quick.

there is one motor car for every

the first Of the Pleasant admin
istration legislatures adjourned
Thursday night after having
been in session sixty days.
It enacted $50 new laws, Of
which II are prop 'Sed cOnStltu
tional amendments and must be
submitted to the people for their
ratification at the NOvem Der cleo
ton.
The Pleasant administrator
program was carried ont in ev'
cry detail and without any dis
turbance. Every bill which came
upstairs with the administra
, tons o. k. on 1t passed both
houses and without any opposi-
ton of consequence. The Man
Down Stairs" adopted new tao.
tics in handling the legislature
of this state. There was no
noise, no buster. no waving of
the "oig stick and no whole.
sale sending for mem berS of the
general assembly. So COM
pletely was this true. chat on the
last day Senator Delos R. John
son of Franklinton, offered res
olution in the senate highly prais-
ing Governor Pleasant for his
non.i interference with the legis-
lative branch of the government.
But he got the results.
Force" or pressure" we're
never a part Of the procedure at
Baton Rouge. If the appeal to
reason failed. the member Was
allowed to take his course, Very
few knew all that was going On.
Governor Pleasant did not give
out a single interview during the
entire 60 days and he sent only
one special message to the gen.
eral assembly.
He was in print less than any
governor who has presided at |
Baton Rouge in any recent time. |
He was never quoted. and he |
proved good censor. That this
plan of directing Legislative
body is a success has been prov
en- during the session just ended. |
Whatever the means used, the
ends speak for themselves, and
Governor Pleasant got results.
Constructive legislation has been
put through that has been under
consideration for the past ten
years. Taxation and assess
ment reforms have been the sub
ject of two special tax commits
sions. Here are some of tile re-
suits in 1916:

and budget, this board succeed |

Depend on a well selected diet" rather

Of the Office of economies OF the Department
of Agriculture, can see the housekeepers
dilemma
Weigh the members of your family instead
of the food they eat and see that their weight
is kept normal
With these three safeguards you cannot go
far aield.
The housewife who knows that proteins are
tissue builders chiefly, though they can also
supply energy; that fats supply energy in the
most concentrated form that starches and
sugars supply it most economically, and thai
mineral matter and water are needed to rcgu-
late the body processes, has simple, hrm
foundation for building up her menus.
Then she has only to know her types OF
foods-that milk and eggs, meat and fish,
cheese and peas and beans, and some OF the
cereals. especially wheat, are the common
sources OF tissue building protein. That olive
oil and butter fat meat and cream, and the
oil in nuts are sources OF fat that the cereals
and potatoes and sugars Of all kinds furnish
the carbohydrates, and that milk, fresh vege-
tables, whole grains and eggs are the best
sources Of mineral matter.
With this foundation family may be very
well fed under normal conditions without any
help from the calorc. 1t is cheering, however,
to know, with his kingship still lowering in
the background Of the picture, that many
helping of ordinary foods contains just about
100 calores. For instance, an egg, large
potato, a slice of bread, dish of oatmeal or
a small glass of milk all furnish about this
amount of heat
But, to prove our point, it is to be noted
that a very small piece of sponge cake, or
third Of piece OF pie, or about an ounce OF
sugar. would give you the same amount OF en-
eIgy. Obviously these sweets would not play
the role in the body's rebuilding that would
