MAD DOGS RAMP

Mad dogs are running ram
pant and children and grown
people too are pouring into the
Board of Health every day to
be treated for the rabies. Are
our officials going to permit the
dogs to run at large, contrary,
to law, and not make any eff
fort to protect the people?
Worthless ours are roaming
the streets Of Jackson every
day without a muzzle, and
you may be the next victib.-
The Issue.
From all over the state come
reports of the number of peo-
pie who are being bitten Jy
mad dogs. The question of
danger to others seems never
to enter the mind of the man
or boy who owns a dog. It
matters not how trifling and
worthless he may really be,
he has enough of good qualities
from the owners standpoint to
place him first in their regard
and the person who steps on
his tail or throws a brick at
him is pretty sure to get into
trouble. Law makers are very
chary when it comes to legis-
lating against the worthless cur
but times are improving in that
direction and we hope to soon
see him legislated out of ex-
istence.
Tupelo along with many 9TH
er places in the state has had
her mad dog scare and we are
glad to report that nobody was
bitten. The mayor publishes a
worning in this issue against
dogs running at large and unless
you want to give up your dog
you had better keep him at
home.

by President Wilson. The work
of raising money for the relief
of the sick, wounded and hun
CRY in Europe appeals strongly
to every sense of humanity and
the $10O,O00,O0 will be rails
ed with ease. Cities and towns
are vieing with each other
and from one end of the coun-
try to the other subscriptions
are pouring in in a golden
stream. Our own boys will
soon be on the firing line and
they must have proper nursing
and relief if need be-. The
Red Gross has organized, for,
this work and through it's well
directed methods the money
can best be spent in caring for
those who need help. The
auxiliary in Lee county is at
work and everybody should
take an interest in raising the
subscription to the highest
point possible. Join your To-
cal auxiliary and help swell
the sum that will be sent in

which is being fought by the

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
RAILROADS.

RAILROADS.
alt is now evident that within
asfew weeks the government
will commander all the rail
roads of the country to move to
the coast the great army that
is being raised to send to
France.
Railroad men are making ev-
cry preparation possible to
meet the increase of business
which they will be called on
to handle. The commercial
world will md that only a linn
tied quantity of merchandise
can be hauled and it will soon
be a difficult proposition for
merchants to get goods in any
line.
The first question for the
railroads to settle, will be how
to get the necessary coal to
meet the demands of the navy
and munition plants which
must be supplied before any
coal can be put on the market.
In a talk to shippers Mon
day in Memphis Col. Egan, the
general superintendent Of the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad Co., said
"The time is not far distant in
Memphis. as it will be throughout the
United States, when the railroads
will be told by the government just
what classes of equipment they may
have for handling a general u of
railroad business, and the shippers
will also be told what to do"
''The railroads are going to be
called on within the next few weeks
70 handle an army of 100000 men,"
he continued. ITO move $4,000
men would require 5000 railroad
cars, and if the train moved solid as
one train it would reach reach from
Chicago to New Orleans. d 5$H9

ART REFERENDUM
COMMENCES TODAY
Experiment to Ascertain /
Popular and Artistic Appre-
citation Coincide.

Here's a chance for citizens of the
District of Columbia to vote.
Whatever Congress may think
about It, the officers of the Corcoran
Gallery of Art consider the residents
of Washington fully capable OF eS-
ercising the franchise, hence the pop
ular referendum on the sixth exhibit
ton of contemporary American oil
paintings, now on view at the gal
lery.
This was the first day of the vot-
ing. The balloting was not heavy TO-
day, because this Is q pay day.
hence the attendance Is generally
limited to artists who wish to study
pictures at. their leisure, or to visitors
to the city.
But tomorrow, a free day, Is ex-
pected to bring forth amateur ART
critics in large numbers. Artists
themselves are showing great inter
est In the voting, and are anxious TO
see how nearly the popular verdict Is
in accord with that of the jury which
already has made its awards.
Upon entering the gallery eaeh
visitor was given a small ballot, on
which was printed an invitation to
vote and the following instructions:
1.-THE artist whose picture receives
the greatest number OF votes will be
awarded a prize of 5000 given by the
committee on works OF art OF the
gallery.
Every picture in the exhibition Is
eligible for this award with the ex-
ception OF those numbered 40, 81, and
259.
Each painting has a number on
the frame. Place on the dotted line
below the number of the picture you
consider the best, and deposit this
vote in the ballot box at the head of
the main stairway, or the one at the
main entrance"
The three pictures which are not
eligible were painted by artists who
have since died.
The committee which made the
awards was made up of five of the
foremost artists in the country
Childe Hassam, George Bellows, Wal
ter Griffin. Philip L. Hale, and Charles
Morris Young.

THIS STOPS HAIR
FROM FALLING OUT

Ever try to count the dead hairs in
your comb and brush? They are ma
lures warning of future badness and
proof that the dangerous little dan
druff germ is busy on your scalp.
DR.. Sangerbund. the famous Paris
specialist, first discovered that dan
druff and falling hair are caused by
a microbe. Then came the discovery
OF the value of the real Partisan Sage
(ii1uid form) in destroying the dan
druff germ and promptly preventing
the further loss Of hair. The effect
Of only three days use OF Partisan
Sage, is simply marvellous and the
American people have now awakened
10 the fact that dandruff is Just as
unnecessary as II is unhealthy. and
that they can be quickly rid or 1t and
save their hair by using few ounces
OF Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold by O'Donnelfs
Drug Stores and good druggists
everywhere. It's an inexpensive,
daintily perfumed LIQUID, free from
sickness, and will surely cause hair
to grow soft, lustrous and really
seem twice as abundant.-Advt.
