Biloxi, Miss, July 21.-Flshermen
and boatmen, packers and citizens are
Lall getting ready now for the opening

"Will this be a good season foy
'shrimp?" was asked Ulysses Desporte
one of the prominent shrimp packers
here, this morning.
His reply was that the catching OF
shrimp is always problematical and
that no one can forecast results, but
he believed that it would be good
season and that the shEmp jitneys
would flow through tie golfers Of
trade in the city of Biloxi as never
before, at least much better than last
year, when the shrimp fishing indus
try received a blow in consequence OF
difficulties growing out of labor a1
Ijustments.
Mr.. Desporte said that most of. the
men engaged in that industry are now
working at the factories and all arc
happy and optimistic as to results
.Seines are now being repaired aad
other steps are being taken to get in
readiness for the opening season
when all of the boatmen will start
into the work with rush.
Boats are undergoing repairs ard
during the first week of August ali

get into the game and land the fes-
tive shrimp.
Only four or five boats used in that
industry were damaged beyond repair
by the recent climatic disturbance

pairs will have been made by the time
The shrimp season opens.
No labor troubles are, anticipated
this year. sAll of the fishermen will
go into the work, determined 10 make
as much money during the season as
possible. The most cordial relations
now exist between employer and EN-
ploye in the shrimp industry along the
gulf coast.

HIS WIFE.
WOULD NEVER LEAVE
HER INVALID CHAIR.
Foreman of Big plant Says, "Tanlac
Made New Woman of Ny wife
and She Has Gained
Fifteen Pounds"

|
The public of today is accustomed
| to strange and unusual occurrences,
and the newspapers are filled with
sensation after sensation, but in spite
of this the statement of Mr.. W. w.
Smith regarding the remarkable recov-
cry of his wife, whom he had given
up to be an invalid the rest of her
days, would hardly be believed were
it not for the high character of Mr.
Smith, foreman for the Krueger Mfg
Co, of Atlanta, and the further fact
that each and every circumstance can
be established beyond a reasonable
doubt. Mr.. Smiths address is Box 159,

completing his remarkable statement,
"and I'll stand up to every word I've
said and more, too. Just send them
to me-"
Following is the recital of facts in
Mr.. Smiths own words:,
my wife was so weak she could not
walk and she could mot leave her
chair or bed without help--in fact,
had given her up to be an invalid the
rest of her life. She spent most OF
the time in her chair and had done so
for years. have spent thousands of
dollars for doctors, hospitals, nurses
and to drug stores, but nothing gave
her relief, and that's why it seems so
astonishing that four bottles of Tan
lac could make her gain is pounds
and put her on her feet again.
"fIer main trouble was rheumatism,
but she seemed to be in bad condition
in many ways She had headaches and
was very nervous all the time, which
kept her from resting well at night.
Her liver was sluggish and inactive
and she had continual pains over the
kidneys. Nothing we could do seemed
to relieve her Of the tired, languid
feeling that was with her all the time,
and feared she was entirely beyond
the reach Of medicine.
Besides all this, her stomach was
out of order and she would have bill
ious spells, followed by constipation,
and then diarrhoea.
"Strong testimonials from people l
knew to be reliable gave me a little
hope that Tanlac would help my wife
and make her feel better, even if it
did not cure her-for somehow | had
gotten to the point that / could not
believe anything would relieve her en-
tirely. But certainly feel different
about it now, for she has taken four
bottles and consider her we'll. Hon

peveIopment of riIefish Industry.

In it's investigation of the possibili-
ties of the tilefish industry, the United
States bureau of fisheries finds that
there is some reason to believe that
the fishing grounds extend some dis
lance toward Cape Hatteras, although
up to the present time they have
been developed only as far south as
about the latitude of Atlantic City.
In the extension Of the field the zone
in which both the depth and temper
ature are suitable is probably much
narrower than farther north.
The commercial fishery for tilefish
continues to develop. During the
month of January $4,000 pounds were
landed at New York in II trips by six
fishing vessels, or an average Of %, 400
pounds per trip. This is an increase
of 1856 per cent over the amounts
landed during December. The price
remains uniform at an average of
about six cents per pound.-Scientific

Tomato and Corn,

Have you heard of the famous to-
mato and corn clubs that are now or
ganized in many states of the coun-
try? They originated in Aiken county,
South Carolina, in the brain of little
schoolteacher named Marie Cromer,
who was getting thirty dollars a
month.
She asked her pupils one day. what
are you doing to help maw?" They
all ALLOWED" that they were not do.
in nothin' much" She started them
to doing something.
She got each of them to begin with
about the easiest cultivated plant, the
tomato, on a tenth of an acre Of
ground, and the most efficient cultiva-
tor was to receive prize. All the to-
mato clubs in the country started from
that.
Thousands Of cans of tomatoes are
now produced from Aiken county
alone.
Then Jerry Moore got two thousand
boys of the state into corn clubs. And
there are now forty thousand through
out the South. These boys learn how
to produce corn at the lowest posi-
BILE cost.

Gowns and suits of many types are

silk is feature in every collection Of
spring apparel, and may succeed in
RELOCATING the tailored suit of cloth to
morning wear. Then there are the
sports suits coming in for much con-

lack of flavor to the coming summer

Everyone wants silk suit, and silk
suits innumerable are being produced
to answer the demand for them,
which grows each day more insistent
and more discriminating. One may
choose model similar to that shown
above and feel secure as to it's beauty
and good style.
Although some of the models are
even shorter, this one Of dull blue taf.

Most Notable Is the Conflict at the

The victory of Gideon's 300 over

The Scots have one to their credit
over England when in 1914 Robert
Bruce and 10000 of his countrymen
routed 100000 Of their southern neigh
bors.
At Crecy in 1346 10000 English
proved too many for 100000 French,
and some years later at Poitiers the
Black Prince, with $4,000 men, dis
posed of the king Of France and five
times that number principally by the
prowess of his archers.
Three hundred and fifty Irishmen
held the Shannon bridge at Athlone
against $4,000 English, Dutch and
Germans in 1891. Two hundred Of
their number fell, but the bridge was
destroyed before the others drew of.
Charles XII of Sweden, with 5000
men, defeated an army of 10000 Rus
SLAMS at Narva.
AS might be expected in the wars
between civilization and barbaFism or
semibarbarism, the victory was gen.
orally won by the former against fear
flll odds.
If the Spanish chroniclers are to be
believed Cortez defeated 100000 Az
tees in the battle of Otumba after he
evacuated Mexico City, or, as it was
then called, Tenochtitlan. On this &C.
caSion he could scarcely have mus

In India the British have had their
own share in this Kind of warfare
Robert Give, with 5000 men, defeated
Surajah Dowlah's army of $4,000 at
Plassy in 1851, and Sir Robert Napier
tackled 10000 Beloochees at Meanee
with $500 men.
The longest odds in any modern bat

PRETTY HATS
FOR SUMMERTIME

Without bothering to look further,
anyone will be safe in choosing one,
or all three, of the hats pictured here
for summertime wear. Each one has
beauty Joined to the charm of quaint
ness to recommend it, and thus they
inspire more than admiration in us.
One is inclined to believe that some
student of Godey's Ladies' Book came
across an 1880 copy of 1t, was fasci-
mated by the millinery styles therein
set forth, and proceeded to modernize
them. These hats are of the sort that
women love.
At the left of the picture there is a
poke bonnet of leghorn straw trimmed
with pink roses. Its designers seem to
have kept close to the bonnet styles
of grandmother's day. throwing kiss
to them by making fairly faithful
copy. But 1t would not do to be too
faithful. and therefore the rose foliage
on the 1916 bonnet is lacquered. 1t has

Sudden Death
Caused BY Disease Of The Kidney


The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease Of brain
or lungs.
1t Is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents fer large
trial package Of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
