LONG HOURS A RARITY.

Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hours In train service have
been reduced to a minimum is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only one en-
ploye in five on the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
in the whole year. Stated in another
way, the chance Of an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once In five years.
The total number Of cases of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 81 PAT during the
year ending June 80, 1915, as COM
pared with 1871, 439 In 1914 and 270,S27
in 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time a train is so de-
layed by a blizzard, washOut or 9th
er cause that any part Of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re-
port the occurrence to the commission,
giving the names of-the Individual en-
ployes concerned and a full statement
Of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
The Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating in efforts to
prevent the keeping of employees on
1uty for long periods The reduction
Of nearly so per cent In such cases
which has been brought about In three

Bank Deposits Are Exempt.

The opinion of the Attorney
General in reference to the Ques-
ton involved is as follows:
Copy of the Attorney Cen
erals opinion.)
Jackson, June 2, 1916.
Hon. Robert S. Phifer, Jr.,
Attorney at Law,
Jackson, Miss.
Dear Sir:
am in receipt of your favor
of recent date in which you de-
sire to know whether or not a
city can lawfully exempt bank
deposits from taxation.
In reply to the above beg to
advise you that Sonata Bill No.
100 amending Chapter 241 of the
Laws of 1912, provides that all
notes and evidences of indebted
ness bearing a rate of interest
not greater than 6 per cent per
annum, and all money loaned at
rate of 6 rer cent per annum
shall be exempt from taxes of
any character whatever.
1t is we'll settled, under the
authorities, that the relation ex-
isting between depositor and
bank is that of creditor and
debtor. Money placed on gener-
al deposit in a bank is mingled
with the other moneys of the
bank and is carried on the books
of the bank as a credit subject
to the check of the depositor.
This money deposited with the
bank, unless there is some
agreement to the contrary, be-
comes its property and can be
loaned or otherwise disposed of
by the bank. In Ruling Case
Law, volume 3, pages 5l9-521,
amoung other things, it is said:
In legal effect, the deposit is a
loan to the bank, and cities 1872
u. S., 1872; 43 L. Ed. $50; 80
Neb. 1853; % l.. r. A., 81, sol
Ohio State Reports, Isl; 40 Am.
State Reports, $50.
Inasmuch, therefore, as all
money loaned at a rate Of inter
est less than 6 per cent per an
mum is exempt from taxation,
money on general deposit in a
bank being, in legal effect, a
loan to the bank at a less rate of
interest than 6 per cent per an
mum, under our exemption laws,
must necessarily be exempt from
taxation of any kind whatever.
therefore advise you that a
municipality would not have the
power to subject to taxation any
kin d of property exempted
therefrom by the general laws
of the State.
Hoping that this gives you the
information desired, beg to re-
main,
Very truly yours.

Assistant Attorney General. |

CANCER is DURABLE
Early Operation the Remedy

Health authorities throughout
the country have joined forces
to combat the increased preva-
lence and death rate from cancer.
This disease alone caused $4,000
deaths in the United States last
year. If this loss of life is re-
peated during the present year,
one out of every eight deaths
among women over the age of
forty, and one out of every
fourteen deaths among men of
the same age, will be due to
cancer.
The first and foremost fact
which the public should know
and keep in mind is that cancer
is durable. The old idea that
this disease meant death, no
longer holds true. Furthermore,
this disease is not inherited SO
far as any evidence now shows.
This assurance therefore, places
a most hopeful aspect upon the
subject of cancer.
Although we do not know the
actual cause of cancer a great
deal is known about it. 1t is
known that the disease begins as
a small growth, such as a wart,
mole, lump, scab or ulcer, which
is slow to heal. These may ap-
pear as innocent at first, but re
peated, or constant irritation
may cause them to display I'M
usual activity especially in per-
sons more than 40 years of age.
1t should be known that there
is but one positive cure for can
Ger, which is early and complete
removal. Therefore an early
diagnosis is essential. Surgical
treatment causes the best results
provided it is done at the onset
of the disease. Plasters and
salves merely give temporary re-
lief. The patient is caused to
have false sense of hope when
as a matter of fact the disease is
really taking deeper root. Med
icinal remedies are worthless and
a waste of time and money.
Radium therapy may be used in
some cases with success.
The secret of the successful
cure of cancer is to consult
your physician at the first sign
of an unusual growth, lump or
ulcer upon the body. Each day
Of d lay gre thy reduces
the chances of recovery while
prompt treatment may prevent
death.

Mrs. Chas. Peden,
Gains II Pounds
Twice Examined and Each Time
Was Told Operation Would
Be Only Hope

Il have just finished my third
bottle of Tanlac and have gained
twenty-seven pounds, was the
truly remarkable statement
made by Mrs. Charles Peden, re-
siding at $50 Mill street. Hunts
vile, Ala. Mrs. Peden is one of
the oest-known and highly res
pected women of that thriving
little city, where she has made
her home for a number Of years.
When | commenced taking
the medicine" she continued,
Il only weighed ninety-eight
(9S) pounds; now | weigh l25
pounds, and never felt better in
my life. For years | have stuff
cred with bad form of stomach
trouble, constipation and pains
in my side and back. At times
the pains took the form of tor
ture and | was twice examined
and each time | was told that |
had appendicitis and that an
operation would be my only hope.
| had fallen off until | only
weighed ninety eight pounds
and was so weak | could hardly
get around.
Il had no appetite at all scarce
ly, and what little | did eat
would cause gas to form in my
stomach, which gave me palpi-
tation of the heart, sick head
aches and a dizzy feeling about
the head. When these spells
came on me would get awfully
nervous. | worried about my
self until could rest and sleep
but little.
Il had fallen off Until | was
almost skin and bones, and my
strength and energy were slow
ly leaving me. had dread of
the future and could see nothing
but the operation table and
knife. | had a perfect horror Of
an operation, but had made up
my mind that it was either life
or death, and prepared to sub
nit to it. | had made all pre-
parations for the operation and
called on my sister to tell her
good-by, as | did not know
whether | would live to see her
again or not. My sister begged
and plead with me not to allow
them to cut on me and told me
to wait and try a good tonic for
a while. The next day as | re-
turned from the consultation
room | thought of what she said,
and as | had heard so much
about Tanlac | decided to try it
as a last resort and stopped at
Drug Store and got a
bottle. Of course, | had lost |
heart and had no faith in the
but to please my sister
| made up my mind to take it,
and, oh what a happy day that
was for me!
Il never returned for the
operation, but just kept taking
the Tanlac. Right from the
start | began to feel better. The
medicine seemed to take hold
tight at once. 1t had a soothing
effect, and in a few days | felt
