meat from Australia and New Zealand
 but all the fresh vegetables for the
 army are bought in Egypt and enor-
 nous quantities of fruit are bought
 by the soldiers on their own account.
 Oranges, of which this country is a large producer, fetched unprecedented prices last season. s,ss The cultivator
 is not slow to observe these things
 and is growing much more garden
 stuff than ever before. In particular
 the very high price of potatoes last
 winter has encouraged him to devote
 more land to growing this indispen-
 sable vegetable. There is, in fact,
 nothing that he can grow that does
 not pay him better than in ordinary
 times. The army is a mighty pur-
 chaser of camels and needs vast quantities of fodder, which 1t buys from the Egyptian farmer. The ar my has resuscitated the moribund salt industry at Damiett. It has created a timber industry which never existed before in Egypt. The country is not rich in timber, but large quantities are needed, and the army buyers have looked around till. they found sup plies in various parts of the country.
 The army is also a large employer 
 military authorities have some 186OO nativee laborers on their payroll, and these men besides being fed, lodged and clothed. earn higher wages than they did in peace time when they had to Hive out of their wages It should be noted too that although last years cotton crop was sfnAll, it was sold at a good price and this year there is more land under cotton than ever be- fore. Egypt this year will be . big ger producer in all ways than she has ever been.
 ''The Egyptian peasant, therefore,
 has done we'll these last eighteen months. He buys little and is saving money. The high prices for import ed goods affect him far less than the Europeans in the country. The dear ness of coal has been difficulty, but 1t has not offset the high prices of all the country's products.
 In one respect Egypt has been a loser. There is now no winter tou- rist trafi1c. The tourists come no
 more. But their place is taken by the large numbers of officers who spend their lives in Cairo or Alexan- driA, and the vendors of costly curios find them fairly good customers. The men spend great deal of money with the small shopkeepers, and the Aus Itralians are customers worth having, even if they have no more than an Aus
 tralian private's pay to spend. Also the new military season lasts all the year round, while the, tourist season at best was a matter of, two or three months. Hotels in Cairo which for
 merly vegetated. in summer now do a thriving business right through the hot season. Several of the great hotels
 have been taken over by the army as hospitals or for other military purposes and those that remain have as much business as they can cope with.

SUSPECTED Her Husband.

A lady who toes not live hun
dred miles from here suspected her
husband was in the habit of kissing
the pretty servant girl and resolved
to detect him in the act. After
some time for an opportu-
nifty she heard him enter the kitchen
quietly one evening when the pretty
servant girl was out. She immediate
ly placed a shawl over her head and
in her hand, and heart burn
ing with jealousy entered the dark
some kitchen by the back door and
was almost Immediately embraced
and kissed in the most ardent man
ner. Burning with rage and bent on
administering \ terrible rebuke she
tore loose from his embrace and

with the servant girls beau. Her
husband says after this his wife was
never more affectionate since the day

AGRICULTURAL HIGH
SCHOOLS
Iallahatchie Herald !;

Tallahatchie Herald;
Good many Tallahatchie coun-
ty citizens, seeing the splendid
advantages Of the agricultural
high schools, are sending their
boys and girls to these schools in
other counties. Some are NOV
ing thei. families ont of the
county so that they may reside
near one Of these schools and ed
ucate their children. The ag-
ricultural high school gives a
course of study that, when com
pleted, entities the student to
entry lii any of the state colleges
or the university, prescribing a
ecourse that is practical and in
Conformity with the demands OF
,,a high school education as well
as the technical training in ag
riculture, domestic science and
manual training. Other coun.
ties which have established such
I kschools have made success and
are proud of them, as they are an
added stimulus to general edu-
cation and reflect, besides, the
progressive spirit of the county.
Tallabatchie should have such
schonl by all means and from
the expressions heard from every
commanity, we believe the peo-
PIE are anxious to have it estab-
lished at once. This is.a time
men every profession recog-
nizes that the farmer should be
he best educated of all the pro
assions and that with greater
efficiency HI farm life comes
gteater prosperity and material
development Of the country as a
Whole. In fact, we believe we
are all agreed that the law
making possible the establish
ment Of agricultural high schools
supported by state and county
is one of the wisest and most
beneficial of any recent pro
gresslve legislation and that any
county which does not take ad-
vantage Of its opportunity is far
behind the times.

IS CURABlE

During the past year, pella-
gra proved to be one of the
most prevalent and fatal diseaes
in Mississippi. The name, pei
lara, has heretofore caused
alarm among those who con-
tracted il, and justly SO, because
it was usually fatal. According
to recent discoveries, this disease
should no longer be looked upon
with alarm. 1t is now known
that it can be prevented and
cured.
DR.. Goldberger, of the United
States Public Health Service,
states:
'sThat pellagra is not = COM
municable neither infectious or
contagious disease, but that it is
essentially of dietary origin.
"That no pellagra develops
in those who consume mixed
well balanced and varied diet.
The practical question for
those who contract pellagra and
those who would prevent it, is
not what is its cause, but how
it can be prevented and cured.
1t has been shown conclnsively
that a person eating the right
kind OF diet, that is, . well bal
anced diet. such as milk, fresh
lean meat and eggs will not have
this disease. In the event this
kind of diet cannot be supplied,
owing to expense, the protein
element of the diet, the absence
or lack of proportion of which
will cause pellagra, can be sup
piled by liberal use of legumes
beans or peas ''fresh or dried,
not canned.n Pellagra can be
cured by the use Of the same
kind Of diet, provided the dis
ease is recognized sufficiently
early. In other words, an early
diagnosis of the disease in most
cases ia essential in its cure.
When it is realized that the
preventive and curative meas,
ures of pellagra are SO simple
and inexpensive there is no
reason why the disease should
longer prevail, and cause such
alarm in the state. 1t is ques-
tion of cultivating beans and
peas in sufficient quantities, and
making them part of the diet
throughout the winter months,
or until such time as fresh beans
or peas can be raised. II this
is done the disease will be pre-
vented, cured, and in time, eradi
Gated.
