Asks War Tax On Dogs.


P. P. Garner, state commissioner OF
agriculture, wrote to Senator John
Sharp Williams asking his support
and influence in having a war tax
placed on dogs, believing that such a
tax would not only raise goodly sum
Of cash for the U. S. treasury, but
would clean out million or two worth
less sheep-killing CANNES. He has re-
ceived the following letter from Sen
ator Williams, dated at Washington:
my Dear Sir: would like to see a
war tax on dogs and put an end to a
lot of sheep-killing ours. but the
Prophet Elijah, rising from the dead,
could not persuade lot of politicians
to do it. It would be utterly hopeless
to try it."

ANTHRAX INSTRUCTIONS.
state Veterinarian Advises Owners o.
Herds About Disease.

Agricultural College.-Anthrax or
cllarbon Is prevalent In a number Of
counties In Mississippi. The follow
ing suggestions are made by DR.. e. M.
Ranck, state veterinarian:
BE sure 1t is anthrax. A drop OF
blood spread thin on piece of SMOOTH
glass and dried in air, wrapped Sc
curely and mailed to State Veterinar-
ian, Agricultural College, will be ex-
amined by the bacteriologist.
'Tf anthrax exists quarantine all an
imals en- premises. Do not ler any
come on or off until they are safe.
They can spread the disease.
''Vaccinate with anthrax vaccine.
There are two kinds of vaccine. Serum
and virus, and virus alone. The serum
and virus are given at one time. They
produce immunity quicker than the
virus alone, but are more expensive.
Be sure that the directions are follow.
ed to the letter Animals vaccinated
with serum and virus should be kept
in quarantine for five days after treat
AOAe' virus IiCoICu oAAAo1o oAouAA
be kept for ten days after the last dose
is given. They can work during this
time.
Vaccine is dangerous If not handled
by trained men. 1t may produce the
disease if not properly administered.
The manufacturers assume no respon-
sibility for accidents following the use
Of vaccine. This material should be
used by competent veterinarians.
Boards of supervisors are author
lied by house bill al, laws 1910, to ap.
propriate money for eradication OF dis
eases of live stock. County officers

prepared pamphlet giving statistics
as to pellagra in Mississippi and tell
ing how it may be prevented or cured
During the last ten years" says DR.
feathers, sit has been found, perhaps
in every state, and is especially com
mon in the southern states. In Mis-
sissippi during the year 1915 there
were 1881 cases and 1886 deaths. II
is gratifying to note that the disease
is on the decrease in Mississippi. The
number of cases reported in 1916 we're
fifty per cent less than in 1915. II
ranks fourth among the diseases as a
cause of death in Mississippi-tuber
culosis, pneumonia and malaria in or
der, each causing a higher death rate
than pellagra. Unless pellagra is rec
ognized early and treated properly il
often proves deadly disease"

address the Business Mems

Mr.. King is a good mixer and
created a very favorable senti-

ident appointed a committee to
take the matter up with the
Board of Supervisors and the
City Council. In our opinion
this is the best opportunity ever
offered this section to do effec-
tive Advertising. Thousands
of people will visit the EXPOSE

thoughts conferred on Mississippi.
They will be in just the frame of
mind to be impressed with
whatever we have to show them,
and they are going to be impress
sed either favorably or unfavor-
ably according to the effort put
forth by the people of the state
as whole and each section in
particular.
1t is up to the people of each

Universal Military Training

The national demand for the adoption
OF system of universal military train
ing has grown tremendously in the last
few weeks. Ever since the diplomatic
break with Germany, which so plainly
indicated an ultimate outbreak of war,
sentiment has been developing swiftly
IN favor of system of military educa-
ton which would 1T the younger citi-
zens of this country for possible par
ticipation in conflict. The utter un-
readiness of the country for any sort
of defensive measures on large scale
has been more fully appreciated than
ever before. The disclosure of Il Ger
man plot to align Mexico and Japan as
enemies of the United States on the
basis of partition of American terri
tory has brought about revolution of
feeling on this subject in the western
part OF the country, where before paci-
fist sentiment prevailed to the extent of
even favoring complete disarmament.
At present there are several different
propositions under consideration Some
advocate one period Of training and
some another. Some want compulsory
service in the military ranks in time of
peace, others merely military training
in the course of education Some want
to put it on the basis of volunteer ac-
ceptance Of opportunities for drill as in
the civilian camps recently maintained
in this country, while others want the
training to be part of prescribed
course. There is wide difference as to
periods Of training or of service.
At this critical juncture agreement
should be quickly had upon some meth
cd Of universal military training, where
