AS a sample of how some men re-

an suffrage bill in the Mississippi
Legislature was illuminating. 1t IS
also a sample OF some OF the Missis-
stppi legislators. The bill in question
proposed to give suffrage to mothers
who have living children. During the
debate Senator Wilmington asked.
Don't you think women would purify
politics?" Whereupon another sena-
tor vulgarly replied: DO you think
hog would purify wallow ?"

DISTILLED SPIRITS MEANS
 PURIFIED SOULS"

This actually happened in Little Rock school a few days ago: The class in American history was studying what is known as the Whiskey Re bellion in the early days of the coun- try. The pupils had been asked the cause of the trouble, and one replied that it was on account of distilled spirits.
 And what are distilled spirits ?' asked the teacher.
 One bright little girl held up her hand
 q know" she said. "it means puri- fled souls"
 How do you make that out?" ask ed the astonished pedagogue.
 "I found it in the big dictionary was the confident reply. "1 looked at distilled and that means purified, and I looked at spirits and that means souls Therefore distilled spirits means purified souls.'"

HAVING TROUBLE WITH
 VITAL STATISTICS
Twenty Counties in Controversy Over Payment of Registrars Sebastian County Has Case in the Supreme Court.

Little Rock, March 2.-The State health office is still having trouble with the vital statistics. There are about twenty counties where there is a controversy over the payment of the registrars, and the returns from these counties are necessarily com paratively meager and incomplete. The county judges are refusing to pay the fees provided for the regis trars. One case, from Sebastian coun- ty, is now pending in Supreme Court and will settle this disputed point. The county judge refused to pay the fees. he was ordered to do so on appeal to the Circuit Court, and now he has appealed to the Supreme Court, contending that such an appli- cation of county funds is not war ranted under the constitution. The state health bureau is also greatly handicapped in the office by reason of insufficient clerical assistance for the proper handling of the statistics.

INSURANCE TAX
 TOTALS $II9,o34.34
Total Received in 1915, Up to Last Day Was $11S,592.45- Warrants Immediately Pre- scented For Entire Amount.

Little Rock, March 2.-Yesterday was the last day for the payment of insurance taxes, and $28,579.17 was turned into the general revenue fund. This makes the total paid from that source this year $119, ,615.34, and there will be other small amounts coming in. The total received in 1915 up to the last day was $11S,592.45.
 The money did rot stay in the treas urer's hands very long, as warrants were immediately presented to take it all. Among the warrants paid were $21,9 300 for the State Normal and $1504.49 for the School for the Blind. President J. J. Doyne, of the Normal, who secured the money on his warrants, said this was the first time the Normal faculty and em- ployes had gotten any real money since last August, as they have been forced to discount their warrants every pay day.

WALTHALL FIGHTS DUEL
 WITH SELF IN THE RAVEN

"The Raven," Essanay's six-act feature photoplay, adapted from Geo. C. Hazelton's widely known romance and play of Edgar Allan Poe, is re- pete with remarkable photographic illusions. In one of these Henry B.. Walthall, Essanny's leading man, who has the leading part of Poe in the play dreams that in a duel he kills his worse self, and he is seen in the duel in two likenesses. each facing the other with pistols. MT. Walthall takes both parts himself. In another scene in which Poe's soul is supposed to leave his body, MT. Walthall, while remaining seated in a chair, also arises and walks off at the same time. With Mir. Walthall and Warda Howard in the principal roles, "The Raven comes to the Gem Theatre this evening.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
 LONGEST IN YEARS
Chief Interest Besides Balloting m Officials is Selection of Delegates to National COnven- tion and Committeeman.

The ticket for the Democratic state urinary to be held on March 29 was closed at midnight Tuesday. It is the ,orcest state ticket that has been sub mitted to the people in years, if not tbo longest yet, since it contains many tb;rcs that have never been voted for hofore The chief interest aside from lbe balloting on state officials IS m +be selection of the delegates to the National Convention and the election of the National Committeeman. There is much speculation on the character of men that will be chosen by the peo- rle to represent them at the St. Louis convention For the first time they will come direct from the people, rather than from the state convention, which is now shorn of practically all its old prerogatives except to declare results and to draft the platform.
 And speaking of platforms-what's the use? It has gotten to a point in practical politics that platforms are written only to be ignored when it suits the politician. Recent state con yentions have declared most emphati- cally for some things which Legisla- lures did not see proper to adopt. What a platform between friends, anyway? The days of the state con- venton's glory have passed, for now truly do the people rule.

REPUBLICANS MAKING EFF
 FORT TO COME BACK"

The Republicans are making an ef- fort to "come back" They are stir ring up considerable strife among themselves, not to be wholly outdone by the Democrats. There is a pros pect of an interesting contest as to who shall have the empty honor of the nomination for governor-just what the man who gets it will do with it does not appear. John Hall of the Salem Sun says he is wiser than some of the others, as he doesn't want it. The c. o. P. organ of the state, the State Republican, is to be re- vived at once, after slumbering for two years. It will represent the younger element in the party, with George L. Mallory as editor and Guy w. Caron business manager.

COTTON STEADY AND.
 PRICES ABOUT SAME
March Higher, Other Months
 Unchanged to Z Points Lower. Sentiment Nervous and In
 settled During Early Trading.

New York, March 1.-An early de- cline was followed by rallies in the cotton market today, with May sell ing up from 11.34c to 11.43c. and closing at the latter figure. The gen. eral list closed steady, net 1 point higher to points lower, March being higher, while others were unchanged to 2 points lower.
 Sentiment seemed to be nervous and unsettled during the early trading. Steadiness in Liverpool was quite generally attributed to reported ad- vance in Marine war risks and after opening easy at an advance of 2 points on May, but generally l to 6 points lower, active months here sold off to a net loss of 8 to 13 points.
 Liquidation was also promoted by weakness in New Orleans, while there were New Orleans selling orders around the local ring and the decline to 11.53c for July and 11.70c for Oc- tober carried these months back to within or 9 points of the recent levels.
 The decline was checked by cover ing and prices showed rallies of 10 to 12 points from the lowest in the later trading with part of the buying at tributed to covering of hedger by Southern spot interests against re- cent sales of actual.
 Trading was generally quiet during the day Rumors of general ocean freights in the Southwest may have been a factor in the late afternoon rally, but sentiment with reference to export outlook was unsettled dur ing the entire day.

TO CONTROL INTERSTATE
 SHIPMENT ADULTERATED EGGS

Washington, D. C., March 2.-The Department of Agriculture has had under consideration for some time the application of the Federal Food and Drugs Act to the shipment in interstate commerce of eggs in the shell, especially the two classes of eggs known in the trade as "current receipts" and as rejects" from candling rooms. Current receipts" contain at different seasons of the year varying proportions of eggs which are filthy, decomposed, or putrid. Rejects from candling rooms, as a rule, contain large pro- portions of eggs which are filthy, de- composed, or putrid, and very small proportions of eggs unsuitable for consumption.
 Under the Federal Food and Drugs Act, eggs, in common with other ar ticles of food, are adulterated if they consist wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or pGtrid substance. Sec tion 2 of the Act prohibits the ship ment in interstate commerce of foods which are adulterated and it is plain that this prohibition applies to the shipment in interstate commerce of "current8 receipts" or of "rejects' from candling rooms or of any other grade of eggs in the shell unless the filthy, decomposed, or putrid eggs have been removed
 In the opinion of the Department eggs which contain yolks stuck to the shell, mody eggs, black spots, mixed rots, added eggs, black rots, and any other eggs which consist wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid substance, are adulterated.
 The investigations of the Depart ment have shown that it is conner cially practicable, by the method of candling, to eliminate from any giver shipment most of the eggs of the kinds which the Department regards as adulterated. It is not the practice of the Department, however, to base proceedings under the Food anC Drugs Act on shipments of eggs un less there are present larger percent ages of bad eggs than are ordinarll! present in recognized commercial grades of candled eggs. The Depart : ment is informed that cases of egg! are not allowed to receive even thu lowest candled egg grades if thu cases contain more than one and one half dozen or per cent of bad eggs : Country shippers who are not certain of the freshness of their eggs should candle them before shipping them 1T interstate commerce.
 Eggs which arc adulterated may bt shipped in interstate or foreign com merce for use in tanning or other technical ways without violating th' provisions of the Food and Drugs Act only if they are first denatured so a' to render them incapable of being used for food. Since it is impracti cable to denature eggs in the shell adulterated shell eggs must be brok en out and denatured prior to ship ment. The views of the Department with respect to the denaturing oi eggs are stated in Bureau of Chem istry Service and Regulatory An nouncements No. :, paragraph l9, anc Mo- 12, opinion l02.
