SALE OF COWS INVITES PELA
CRA TO MISSISSIPPI.

Jackson, Miss.,-Pelagra will in
ccrease in Mississippi in 1917 and
1913, warns the state board of
health in bulletin prepared by DR..
w. S. Leathers, executive officer and
q member of the University of Mis-
sissippi Medical School faculty, be-
cause of the scarcity of food and hi@h
prices during the war with Germalls
DR.. Leathers writes:
''It is possible that there will be
an increase owing to the fact that
many families of the state are selling
their milk cows, and therefore, rob-
bing their homes of the most import
ant articles of diet in the prevention
and cure of this disease.
Moreover, owing to the high
price of foods, unless the people of
the state grow their own food pro-
ducts, such as peas and beans, and
have poultry, eggs and other anti
pellagrous foods for use on the fami-
qy table, then peilagra will undoubted-
" increase during 1917 and 1918. 1t
is therefore, urgent that the citizen
ship of the state realize the import
ance of supplying their families with
milk, poultry and eggs, fresh meat
when possible, and leguminous foods,
such as peas beans, dried not canned
during the fall, winter and early
spring is necessary, if pellagra is to
be eradicated from Mississippi

BRANDED AS MYTH
Mother Never Really Carried
Market Basket, 1t Is Declared.
Even Before Days of Telephone
Housewife Seldom Went to the
Grocery or the Butcher Shop.

A voice of protest rises in the East.
Ihere, as elsewhere, sundry lecturers
nave been talking to women's clubs
about the high cost of living. Said
one of them:
housewives could reduce the cost
of food if they would market in per-
son. Too many market by telephone"
This is typical remark.
Our mothers and our grandmoth-
ers," continued the lecturer, 'went
personally to the grocer and the
butcher. They saw what they bought.
And they used to carry it home with
them"
The conclusion is obvious, says the
Indianapolis News. Our mothers and
our grandmothers, paying these daily
visits to the grocer and butcher, were
able to buy seaS0nable products-and
the best of the products-at lowest
prices. They made their own selec-
tons; they picked out what they
wanted.
a woman took issue with this state
ment. Others followed. This argu-
ment, they said, has gone undisputeG
long enough. AS Il matter of fact, our
mothers and grandmotherS did very
little marketing in person. The tele-
phone in their day was not used, to
be sure. There were few telephones
to be used. But 80 years ago-and
even in more recent timeS-the gro
GERS boy called daily, recited some
new items of stock, logged the pa
irons memory with a few questions
regarding the quantity of potatoes,
sugar, flour and salt on hand, took the
customers order and departed. Moth
er saw the goods for the first time
when the grOcerS boy, later in the
day, delivered them.
And in grandmother's day, the wom-
en- protesters declared, four-fifths of
the marketing was done by sending
Johnny or Mary to the grocer or the
butcher. And many of us who are
something over thirty and not yet
turned sixty, regardless of sex, can
find without effot, in the depths Of
memory, personal evidence to substan-
tiate this claim. How many times
were we brought complainingly in
from play to "go to the grocer's?"
And. at the tender age of seven or
eight or nine, did we do much select
ing when we thus filed the household
order? Very little, as we recall it.
On the contrary, we took what the
grocer gave us and hurried home with
the purchase, making sure both COM
ing and going that we kept safely in
hands or pockets the little brown book
in which the purchase was duly and
carefully recorded by the grocer or
the grOcer's clerk.
Times have changed. Johnny and
Mary go seldom nowadays to the gro
Ger or to the butcher or to the baker.
Mother rings them up and delivers her
order by telephone. Butts the diff
ference very great? Is it sufficiently
great to account for the vast increase
in the cost of groceries and meats
and bread and rolls? Substituting the
telephone for the grocer boys daily
visit or for marketing with the chill
dren as proxy will hardly seem to
some of us, now that memory is
aroused, to account for the higher
cost Of living.

SENATOR WILLIAMS BACKS
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS
Refuses to present Peace Res
olutions From Webster County

OAASAOAAS OAAA W SSS%SA SOAAASy
Washington, July "a Senator
John Sharp Williams, whose support
of the administration and whose 10y
atty to the cause of his country have
not wavered in single instance
since the Congress declared chat
the state of war exists between the
United States and the imperial Ger
man government" has refused to pre-
sent to the Senate a set of resolu-
tions in the shape of a memorial
signed by a number of citizens of
Webster County, Miss, asking that
Congress repeal the selective draft
act and declaring in favor of nego-
tiations with Germany for the res
toration of peace. In his letter to
J. B. Scott Of Embry, Miss, Senator
Williams said:
II send the papers back to you be-
cause am not in sympathy with
your position, and / advise you to
send them to some senator or con-
gressman who is in sympathy with it. "
Elsewhere in his letter to Mr.
Scott Senator Williams said:

tine to talk peace because | do not
believe there could be obtained a
z ace advantageous to the world I'M

pie who are co-racial, co-lingual and
correlated with them-that oppress-
ed Poland should not be taken from
Prussia and Austria and set free
that the gallant people of Bohemia
should be left to the tender mercies
OF the Hapsburgs, and that Turkey
should still be left in possession of
her territory in Europe and of the
Christian Armenians, to Cypress and

FISHER RESIGNS AS
SECRETARY OF THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Lack Of Harmony Between
Himself and Some Mem
bers Of Governing Board
Given as the Reason.

w. d. Fisher has rendered his res
ignation as secretary of the Boise
Commercial club at a regular meet
ing Of the board of directors. The res
ignation was accepted by the board
and Mr.. Fisher will leave the service
of the club by May unless a success
sor Is secured before that date.
Mr.. Fisher gave as his reason for re-
signing lack of cooperation between
the board and himself.
SECRETARY'S LETTER.
His letter of resignation to the
board, given after the directors took
up their session, is as follows:
knowing the conditions that now
exist and have been existing for some
time between certain members of the
board of directors and myself, and be-
lieving a commercial club secretary
has to make too many personal Sec
rifices in this line of work with the
usual opposition outside of the board,
I hereby tender my resignation as
secretary of the Boise Commercial
club. to take effect 80 days from date
or sooner If convenient to the board
of directors.
"It is enough for a secretary to have
to deal with opposition from outside
of the board, let alone ask man to
work on an average Of from IL to is
hours day, with added opposition
among the directors of this club.
Regardless of the little difficulties
I have had, l have enjoyed the hos
pitality shown me by the directors,
the members and the citizens of Boise,
but feel that no secretary can make a
success of the Boise Commercial club
with a board that is divided.
Wishing your organization sue
cess, l remain,
Yours very truly,
wv. D. FISHER, Secretary"
Mr.. Fisher announces that he has
no plans to announce at present, but
that short time ago he had two Of
fers which he will look into and see II
they are still open.
He declares he is pleased with Boise
and has enjoyed his work with the
club and regrets that conditions were
such that he could not continue as he
sees great things ahead for Boise and
believes the club can do q big work
during the year 1917.
