NATIONAL GUARD ON MEXICAN
BORDER

The necessity for concentrating
an army on the Mexican border
has compelled the United States
government to call out the Ma
tionalG Guard of the several states.
This necessity has displayed very
forcibly our unpreparedness,
should war become necessary.
While it would not require very
large army to finish up a scrap
with Mexico, yet it takes some
time to make a soldier out OF a
recruit. The mere matter of
learning the manual of arms and
the tactics employed in active
service is not by any means the
requirements necessary to be-
come a soldier. Many things en-
ter into the life of a soldier which
must be lived UP to before a re-
cruit is ready for active service.
The recruit must first learn to
take care of himself in camplife.
He must take care of his health
and become Injured to the hard
ships which are found at the
front. These necessary consid-
erations require time to accom-
plish, and to rush raw recruits
into actual service is nothing less
than manslaughter on the part
of the government.
The President and his advisors
will take all these things into
consideration in dealing with
Mexico. Mr.. Wilson will not
yield to any public clamor to give
Mexico a licking and, as he has
stated, he will not be influenced
by his personal future.
If there is any possible chance
to avoid a conflict between the
two nations we should find it.
This country can gain nothing by
whipping Mexico, except possibly
to teach that country that the
outside world furnishes great and
glorious opportunities which they
could have by the introduction of
a better government and new
business methods.

TO ENFORCE HEALTH laws

TO ENFORCE HEALTH Avs
DR.. Willis Valley. Chief SAM
tary Inspector of Mississippi, is
making a vigorous fight toSbave
the health laws of the state en-
forced. DR.. Valley is visiting
the various towns and in a num-
Der of instances several persons
have been presented to the court
for infractions of the law.
The question of hygiene is
practically a new one. The med
ical profession forty years ago
was confronted with problems
that they were powerless to un-
ravel. Yellow fever carried off
by the thousands people in many
Southern cities and towns until
it was finally discovered that the
mosquito was the only means of
transmitting this disease. Then,
by the simple process of screen
ing wells and houses and making
it difficult for the mosquito to
live by the drainage of its breed
ing beds. this disease has been
eliminated.
The great trouble found by the
French in their efforts to build a
canal across Panama was found,
in the health problem. Condi-
tons were such that men could
not live in the tropical sun of
that zone, and failure resulted
on this account. When the
United States undertook the
same job the first thing that re-
ceived attention was the clearing
of the zone of disease. Good
water was provided, the mosqui-
to exterminated and every sani-
tary precaution taken. As the
result the laborers were able to
work and the job progressed to
its present state.
Typhoid fever, which has been
prevalent in our armies, has
been practically eliminated. In
the Spanish American war the
disease became prevalent at
nearly all the concentration
camps and many soldiers died.
Under the close observation and
with a strict regard for sanitary
conditions in the army, this dis
ease is no longer dreaded. Dur
ing the past year there were
only six cases among our soldiers.
and these were scattered
throughout this country, in the
Philippines, Hawaii, China and
Porto Rico.
The act of the legislature at,
it's last sitting establishing a
tuberculosis hospital was a far
step in the direction of clearing
the State of this dread disease.
Through the rigid system of
handling all public questions
employed by the German gov
eminent, tuberculosis has been
practically eliminated from that
country within the past thirty
years.
The question of health should
be of first consideration. The
people need education along this
line and the health authorities
are making a concerted effort to
do everything necessary for the
eradication of all types of dis
eases. In their efforts they
should meet with the hearty CO.
operation from the people. for it
is in their interest that the laws
have been passed and the health
department has been created.

Association for Encourage
ment of Thrift

Several public spirited citizens
Of Tupelo have decided to lnaug-
urate an extensive thrift cam
paign ia Northeastern Mississip
pi, and haye had Mr.. Herman
Dougherty, of the Savings Banks
Section of the American Bankers
Association of New York here
helping to get. the Association
established.
+ Several public spirited citizens
of Tupelo, without prospects Of
honor or emolument, have volun-
tarily undertaken to promote the
thrift movement in Northeastern
Mississippi. They have essayed
a task which is worthy of the
assistance of every citizen of the
community. There is nothing
better in sight for this commits.
sion than effort, sacrifice and the
satisfaction for an excellent
cause.
In MI. Doughertv's address
before a meeting of our citizens
he stated that the great need of
such a campaign exists among
us is not to be questioned by any
observant citizen. Notwithstand-
ing the vast wealth of the ma
ton, the high wages disbursed
to our industrial workers as COM
pared with wages paid abroad
and our relative freedom from
the population congestion so fla
gravity in evidence in the old
world. there is an unmistakable
propensity to prodigal expendi-
ture and extravagant living,
which must be set down in large
degrees as the very outQrowth
of the comparatively favorable
conditions confronting Ameri-
cans of moderate means. It is
not the very poor, nor yet the
foreign born element among US,
that primarily need the stimu-
lating influences Of this thrift
campaign. The field for such
education lies rather among a
native born American class who
are not pinched for funds, and
who can and should practice
saving, but who have not yet
found the habit. Among the ma
tons of Europe NAV be found
impressive examples of the result
of saving as practiced by the
middle class and poorer elements
and the sums thus accumulated
have figured as available assets
of these countries in the present
war just as they were previously
potent in elevating them to an
enviable position in the world of
finance.
Mr.. Dougherty further stated
that the American people have
been and still are grossly extrav-
agant. There is dire need for
individual and national thrift.
1t has been we'll said that other
nations could live on the Ameri-
can garbage can. Our waste
lands, our undrained swamp
lands, our timber lands. our dis
carded clothing still capable Of
good service, our waste of a
thousand kinds is so apparent
that any agency or group of in
dividuals which set out to stem
this tide of waste are merely
trying to give concrete applica-
ton to the vast conservation
movement which is still almost
new in America.
The proposed plan Of the As
ISOLATION is to encourage greater
saving and elimination of waste.
To do this they will use the
newspapers, folloW-up letters
to each household and individual,
public speaking. show cards in
windows, bill board signs. car
