Better Dairying Calls
for Better Barns

Dairying in Mississippi is max
ing a wonderful growth. Thir-
teen successful creameries are in
and others will soon
n1t constructed. When near
Markets the whole milk business
s proving profitable. Farms
#distant from creameries or whole
hmilk markets are finding ready
tsale for high quality butter.
Il Where the boil weevil has
Bmade cotton growing a hazard
GUS enterprise, the dairy offers
a sure and constant income.
Some farmers who are running
small dairies as side lines to their
regular farming find themselves
Jon a cash basis, the dairying tax
ing care of the running eXpen-
1ses, leaving the income from
! crops to be used for permanent
improvements and luxuries.
The future for the daryman is
bright.
To put Mississippi in its right
place is this busines, however, it
! must be we'll planned and on a
firm basis. To properly conduct
dairy business better barns are
necessary than for ordinary live
I stock. Not necessarially expen-
sive barns, but barns arranged
for light, ventilation and santa
ton.
The people who buy dairy
products are demanding that the
milk and butter come from clean,
sanitary barns and healthy cows.
, In order that every Mississippi
farmer can get the latest infor-
nation on barn construction, L.
A. Higgins and Daniels Scoates,

bulletin on this subject. While

The Old Home Singers

On the 18th, the Redpath Ly-
ceum Course opened their End
year at the Star Theatre. The
first number being "The Old
Home Singers, a musical enter
tainment conducted by two ladies
and two gentlemen, accompani-
ed by a lady at the piano. They
went back down the line half a
century ago, and sung the old
music that our fathers and moth
ers used in that day. The pro-
gram was composed of such
songs, as the Old Oaken Bucket,
Jaunita, Carry me back to Old
Va, Camels a Coming, Rocked
in the Cradle of the deep, Old
Black Joe, Sweet Alice, Ben
Bolt, Kathleen, Mavourneen,
Dixie, and Home Sweet Home.
1t carried the older people back
down the dim aisles of so years
ago, and walked the new genera
ton to the difference between
the old time music and the new
tangled kind of today. The
hearts of those who love the
sweet strains, so full of melody,
Of the olden tune, were touched
by the faultless rendition of that
trained choir, that seemed to en-
ter into the spirit of every song.
Redpaths always brings some
thing chast and entertaining.
An evening spent with them
always sends you home in a good
humor with yourself and neigh
bors. Don't miss the next one
at the Star Theatre.

Zone of the most pernicious
of all practices in the treatment
of dyspepsia is the promiscuous
taking of so MANY of the so called
proprietary medicines, which
are so blatantly advertised in
the daily press, many of them
being nothing more than alco-
holic beverages, and their use is
not unattended with a great
deal of danger. The treatment
of constipation that is so fire.
quently an accompaniment of
dyspepsia by means of patent
pills, calomel, powders and pur-
gatives are harmful.
Il am convinced" continued
Mr.. Cooper, that the stomach
regulates the condition of the
blood and is the fountain head of
health or disease, as the case
may be. My medicine is inten-
ded primarily for the regulation
of the stomach and the correct
ion of catarrhal inflammation,
but it is no uncommon thing for
persons who have used it to
come to me and explain that it
has relieved them of rheumatism
and many ailments not generally
recognised in having their origin
in stomach trouble. "

Dyspepsia Mans
Greatest Enemy
Distressing Malady Has BafEled
the Medical Profession For
Many Years.

ing demand for Tanlac, G. F.
Willis, southern representative
for L. T. Cooper, manufacturer
of the celebrated medicine, stat
ed recently in Atlanta that the
thousands of questions were be-
ing asked all over the south re-
grading it make it imperative
that some explanation be made
to satisfy the public interest.
At this point Mr.. Willis quoted
from one of Mr.. Cooper's recent
lectures, in which he said: "Of
all the distressing conditions
that afiict humanity, chronic
dyspepsia is probably the most
prevalent. This most universal
malady has bafled the medical
profession for years, and the
most skilled specialists have been
unable to cope with it success
fully.
Hours might be consumed in
describing the sufferings, mental
and physical, of the sufferers of
chronic dyspepsia and their fail
ure heretofore to get relief. A
morbid, unreal, whimsical and
melancholy condition of the
mind, aside from the nervous
ness and physical suffering, is
usual condition of the average
dyspeptic, and life seems scarce
ly worth the living. Dyspepsia,
or indigestion, as case may be, is
caused by the taking of too much
food, or unsuitable food, and the
mucous membrane of the stom-
ach becomes irritated, and there
is set an acute or sub-acute gas
trio catarrhal condition which
prevents the proper digestion Of
the food. This food is apt to
ferment and decompose, and as
a result the familiar, distressing
symptoms of dyspepsia may arise.
In mild cases there is nothing
more than an uncomfortable feel
ing in the stomach, with a GER
tain amount of depression, head
ache, loss Of appetite, perhaps
belching of gas and occasional
vomiting. There may be also
accompanying intestinal symp-
toms, such as constipation, pains
in the back, collie, etc. There
may be only the familiar heart
burn due to the inflimation of
the stomach from the excessive
gases of fermentation or putre-
faction. In the most severe
cases-those that last over day
or o-the symptoms enumera-
ted may be much more intense.
The distress may be marked and
the general constitutional symp-
toms more evident. When this
stage is reached the loss of ap-
petite, the mental depression
and the general uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach are much
more pronounced. This is parti
cularly true in acute gastritis.
1T frequently occurs from
continued errors in diet that this
condition becomes chronic, and
the symptoms persist for an in
definate period; the appetite is
very apt to be varied, although
at times very good. Heartburn
is frequent, if not constant; the
stomach is painful on pressure,
the tongue is coated, there is a
bad taste in the mouth, and
there are changes in the amount
of salivary secretion. Constipa-
tion is also usually present, al
though diarrhoea may alternate.
Most cases of dyspepsia can
be cured if the diet is properly
looked after and with the proper
treatment. Proper eating and
the proper amount of food are
the most important features in
the treatment. Most people eat
too fast and eat too much.

10 the sacred memory OF our
beloved mother, Mrs. Cornelia
Buckingham, who fell asleep in
Jesus Oct. 4th.
In the garden of our hearts,
Where the choicest flowers grow,
We cherished there, gorgeous
B lily,
Beautiful and fair, and as white
4 as snow.
But, our SAVIOR needed a flower,
For His garden away up there,
So He sent His angel earthward
To bring Him one that was pure
and fair.
The angel came into our garden,
And beheld the lily white,
She gently plucked it from the
others,
And back to heaven took her
flight.
And we stood and watched the
lily,
For we loved it as no other,
And we'll miss it, yes, always
miss it;
For that lily was our mother.
Why should we weep for you,
dear mother,
For your earthly work was
through,
Up there in Gods happy king
dom,
He had work for you to do.
And we know you'll do it
mother,
For you never shirked your duty,
| And your hands will ne'er grow
weary
In that land of wondrous beauty.
Ali those hands my mothers
hands,
How we loved their gentle touch,
There were none in all this
world
That we loved more, and miss so
much.
While we miss you, our precious
mother,
You will be so lovely there,
Robed in garments pure and
spotless,
With a crown upon your hair.
How me miss the tottering foot
steps
| And that sweet and precious face,
Yet, we will lean on Gods true
promise
For sweet comfort and plenteous
grace.
When we reach that celestial
throne,
We know not now how soon
twill be,
There among Gods saints and
angels
Our mothers face again we'll
see.
When the holy angels meet US,
AS we go to join their band,
Will we know our dear good
mother
In the glorious Heavenly land?
Shall we see the same eyes shin
ing
| On us, as in the days of yore?
Shall we feel the dear arm twin
ing
Fondly round us as before.
Two precious forms now sleep
side by side,
Andlclose to these two our hearts
doth hover.
One is the form of our dear good
father,
The other-our own precious
mother.

Automobile registrations in Frank

roads were opened. .--@ =. ~ =
There has been a notable stim0la-
ton of dairying and general diversfi-
cation on the farms of Dallas county,
Ala, since the improvement of the
roads of that county.
In the section of Lauderdale county.
Miss, where most of the roads have
been improved, the school attendance
increased from ~ per cent of the en-
rolment in 1912, just after the road
work started, to 81 per cent at the
completion of the work. Several school
consultations have been effected.
In Manatee county, Fla, which pro-
duces chiefly fruits and vegetables,
these products could not be hauled over
the sandy roads before the improve
ment was made, except at prohibitive
cost. In one year, 1928, following
the completion of the good roads, the
area in vegetables increased about
1900 acres. The products of the coun-
ty, the study shows, are now hauled to
railway points much more cheaply
than formerly.
