To Draw Historic Map

4 Acting upon request from
Bthe Board of Control of the Mis-
sissippi Centennial to be held at
eIulfport, Miss, Major Lamar
tFontaine, of Lyon is making
preparations to draw a historical
nap of the State Of Mississippi
towering a period reaching from
kthe present state was a portion
kof Georgia.
] Many interesting features and
Elocations will be designated by
Bthe Major on this map, including
Gthe spot where Abraham Lincoln
Band Allen Gentry landed where
Ethey were arrested on a charge
Bof passing conterfeit money, the
spot where Sargent S. Prentiss
Istood while delivering his fam
I {us speech in which he said no
Rindian ever built a mound; the
Apot where the Dancing Rabbit
$and other Indian treaties were
ksigned, and will also outline the
kboundries of the Indian tribes
domains as marked by nature.
! J Space forbids us to enumerate
Bthe many features which it is
proposed to incorporate in this
historic map, but it is very prob
Eable that it will be included in
THE school books of the state as

cOndltlon that II is Impossible
for it to.be made into first class
butter. The dairyman who sells
this kind of cream is imposing a
heavy tax on himself, as well as
the good dairyman who handles
his cream properly. by forcing
the creamery to pay a lower
price for his fat. Every dairy
man should provide himself with
milk pals and cans which are
used for no other purpose than
for handling milk. When
through separating the cream all
utensils used in handling the
milk should be washed in warm
water, then in hot water, using
some good cleansing powder
which does not contain any
grease, then rinse them in water
which is near boiling hot, and
place them in the sun under
screen from flies. The separat-
or should be taken apart and all
parts which come in contact
with the milk washed as above
after each separation.
The best way to supply this
hot water is by the use of a
small boiler. When this cannot
be had a cheap water heating
device may be built on the farm
by taking a few brick or stone
and building a small furnace un-
der shed beside the milk house.
Make the CRATES of a coil of one
inch water piping. This can be
done by cutting the piping in
short pieces and uniting these
peices with elbows. The pipe
should run to and fro thru the
furnace four or six times and
the two ends run through the
wall of the wash room near the
wash sink and into the side of a
barrel (an ordinary molasses-
barreD filled with clean water.
When the fire is started in the
furnace the heating of the water
in the pipe will cause the water
to circulate and soon the whole
barrel of water will be hot. A
faucet should be placed near the
bottom of the barrel just over
the sink for drawing out the hot
water.
A good sink can be made by
building a water tight box eft.
wide, Aft. long, and l6 in. deep,
of 2in. boards, or by building a
frame of above dimensions, lin
ing it with tongue and groved
flooring, then with galvanized
iron. Put a faucet neart the bot
tom for drawing off the wash
water.
The cream should be cooled as
low as possible Immediately after
being separated, and stored in a
cool place. A dug well or a box
thru which water is pumped
from the we'll three or four
times daily makes a good place
for storing the cream. Do not
try to keep the cream longer
than two days in warm weather. |

Mississippi Man
Gained 30 Pounds
on Four Bottles
Well Known Produce Man Says
He Had Rheumatism So Bad
His Muscles Felt Like They
Were Tied in Knot.

Yes, sir; it is a fact when | tell
you that | have gained thirty
pounds on Tanlac. and am now
able to do about twice the amount
of work have ever been able to
do at any time during the past
ten years, said Mr.. C. B. Gwin,
the we'll known produce man, of
Amory, Miss, in telling of the
wonderful results hehad obtained
from Tanlac, a few days ago.
." have been in a general rum
down condition for some time"
continued Mr.. Gwin, and suffered
principally with rheumatism. My
whole system seemed rundown,
debilitated, | could not sleep at
night and | would feel in the
morning just as fatigued as | did
upon going to bed at night. My
digestion became affected and |
couldn't eat. Attacks Of violent
headaches were frequent, and
my nervous system seemed to be
all disordered. The rheumatism
was so severe at times my
muscles seemed as if they were
tied up in a knot. | lost good
deal in weight and it looked like
| was getting weaker and weaker
every day.
Il was persuaded to try>Tan-
lac and / got a bottle of the
medicine. 1t is certainly making
a new man of me. | can now
eat and sleep better than | have
in years. My rheumatism has
all gone and | feel strong and
built up in every way. | am
we'll man and certainly am thank
full that found out about this
wonderful medicine. AS | have
already said, have gained thirty
pounds in six weeks time, and |
feel stronger and better than |
have in years. Tanlac has GER
tainly Strengthened me out, and
| believe it will do the same
thing for anyone else who has
the same trouble | had"
+. Commenting on the above state
ment, Mr.. G. F. Willis, Southern
Distributor of Tanlac, said:
Rheumatism is not only one
of the most prevalent, but one of
the most painful and difficult to
treat of all present day diseases.
When the digestive organs and
bowels are not working properly
and the kidneys become clogged
up the whole system becomes
deranged and saturated with
uric acid poisons and other i'm
purities, which accumulate in the
joints, and produce the condition
known as rheumatism.
"Tanlac is a powerful recon-
structive tonic. and quickly over
comes this condition by acting
on the vital organs, ton
ing- them up and enabling them
to perform their proper func-
tons, SO that the impurities are
soon eliminated from the system,
in natural way. Liniments and
applications as a general
rule only afford temporary relief.
Tanlac is a constitutional treat
ment, and gets right at the root
