Tribute to Senator Waliom.s

Gulfport, Miss. July 29.-Mis-
sissippi's senior senator, United
States Senator, John Sharp Will
liams, is 62 years old today.
In the Congressional Directory,
Sixty-fourth Congress, issued
January, 1916, will be found a
statement as to his birth, educa-
tion and achievements.
The statement is more marked
for the modesty of it than for
the information it contains, and
yet it contains much that is of
interest. especially to the readers
of the Commercial Appeal. many
of whom, perhaps, will be sur
prised to know that "the most
dis tinguished Mississippian,"
who, today, is recognized as %
of the ablest debators and .c~.
most patriots and Statesmen u
America. is a native of Memphis.
Senator Williams present
term as senator expires in 1917,
but, if he lives until then, he
will at once enter upon a new
term, as it now is definitely de-
termined he will have no opposi-
ton for the Democratic nomina-
tion to succeed himself.
In that fact alone is estab-
lished the highest tribute a self
respecting, spirited people could
pay to his character and to his
worth as an honest, faithful,
capable public servant; his
worth to his state and to the ma
tion in the high official station
ne occupies.
Under the circumstances, amid
all the sad vicissitudes of public
life which have been character
istic of Mississippi politics for
the past few years, and in view
of the enemies he has made
among the ambitious office seek
ing men whom the primary vot-
ers of this state, swayed by ap-
peals to passion and prejudice,
have honored in the last decade.
the absence of any open, organ
lzed. active opposition to Senator
Williams is the most wonderful
thing of all the wonderful things
that have ever happened in the
wonder-creating political history
Of the stat.
Moreover, the wonder Of it all
simply increases and grows upon
us when we stop to consider that |
Senator Williams has never low.
cred his standard to silence the
clamor or win the plaudits of the
populace.
At no time has he ever spread
a sail or trimmed his ship to
catch the wind and please the
crowd when popular breezes
were blowing, nor has he ever
surrendered his conscience and
Judgment or furled sail the bet
ter to ride angry waves, and out
live storms. when the fury of
ignorance and prejudice sought
to drive reason from the helm
while passion blew the gale.
On the contrary, resolute and
courageous in his stalwart virtue
and sturdy patriotism, he has
unvaryingly precepted the
aporthegms.
Public office is a public trust,
and noblesse oblige, and has per-
sistently practiced as he
reached.
And therein lies his strength.

COMB SAGE TEA !N
 FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look young! Common garden Sage and Sulphur darkens so naturally
 nobody can tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened. glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea andSSulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot tie of this old-time receipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A wellknown downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobdy can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another ap- plication or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.

SCHOOL TERM OPENS
 JUST A MONTH LATE
Attendance Good, Although Some Pupils Are Kept Home-No New Pa ,alysis Cases.

ralysIs Cases.
 The public schools in the town of Windham opened for the fall term Monday. The original date for the opening was September 5th, hence the opening is just four weeks later than schedule and the school authorities may make some plans later on to make up this loss of time. There has been some talk that sessions of school would be held on Saturday forenoons, but there still being sufficient time between now and the date for closing next June to comply with the state requirements, the pupils may not be called upon to make up the four weeks extra vacation.
 The attendance was not so low as was predicted, coming up to nearly as big an average as a year ago. How ever, were it not for the absentees there would be quite a perceptible in crease in attendance shown this year, and week or two hence many more pupils will be enrolled. Many parents are still fearful of further cases of in fantile paralysis and for that. reason are keeping their children from school for the present. No new cases have been reported for some time and there are but one or two under quarantine at present.

HOW TO BE SLIM

If you are too fat and want to reduce your weight 15 or 20 pounds, don't starve and weaken your system, or think you must always be laughed at on ac- count of your fat, but go to Lee & Osgood or any good druggist, and get box of Oil of Korein capsules, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night.
 Weigh yourself once a week and note what pleasant and reliable method this is for re- moving superfuous fat from any part of the body.
 It costs little, is absolutely harmless, and weeks trial should convince anyone that it is unnecessary to be burdened with even a single pound of un- slightly fat.

Bouncing Bet.

Leaves from the bouncing bet are
responsible for the beautiful complex
ions Of the English girls, who crush
the juice from them and make a lath-
er by shaking it in water. The plant
grows everywhere in prOfusion, send
ing out numerous underground runners
as well as spreading its kind by seed.
The stem is quite stout, with smooth,
erect, unbranched length. At the top
are clustered numerous pink flowers
with deeply notched or cleft petals.
Sometimes the plant is called the
"soap wort" because of the use made
of the leaves. In England the plant
blossoms from July until September,
profusely in waste places. 1t was one

things when they start out. This
has been demonstrated rather forci-
bly, during the past week or so
when the women, through their Or
CARNATIONS, started boycott on
butter and eggs to bring down the
prices of that commodity. The
commission men took the matter as
a joke when it was first announced
but prices began tumbling and if the
boycott is maintained for a short
time the prices will be down where
the average wage Garner can afford
to buy these necessities. The
women announce that they will ex-
tend the boycott to other necessities
of living if the present high prices
prevail much longer and commission
men who have been holding up the
foodstuffs of the country for higher
margins of profit are beginning to
fear the outcome. Keep after them
ladies and we assure you that you
will have the backing of the men
even though you cut down the
rations at home to accomplish your
end. Hurrah for the ladies.
