Many Doctors
Recommend Lem0IaC
AS a Pleasant, Reliable and
Safe Substitute for
CalOmeI!

Calomel is a dangerous drug
and is liable at any time to sal
ivate you, besides it acts toe
violently on your liver. If you
take calomel at all, do so only
under the advice of your physi-
clan. Ask your doctor about
Lemolac and advise him that we
will be pleased to tell him of
this wonderful substitute for
calomel and send him a sample
bottle of it if he has not already
tried it, as we believe he will
recommend Lemolac after giving
it a trial.
Lemolac is purely vegetable
and contains nothing harmful
and is sold under a positive
guarantee to satisfy you by A.. G.
THORNTON, Brandon, Miss, and

P. S.-If you forget the name

U. S. GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT

The United States Government
gave a merited endorsement to the
Mississippi Centennial Exposition
when Congress passed bill ordering
the great exhibit in California sent to
Mississippi and appropriated $4,000
for the purpose of transporting, in
stalling and maintaining it. BY this
act national endorsement was given
the project.
The people of Mississippi might be
interested to know that this exhibit is
the result Of years Of work and cost
the better part of million dollars,
1t is really an exposition in itself; 95,-
900 square feet of floor space will be
required to take care of it. Every
department of the federal government
will be represented.
1t will be even better than the one
out west. Several departments will
be greatly improved and at least two
added. Large models of the latest war
vessels will be sent to take the place
of those now out of date. The agri.
cultural exhibit will be greatly In.
creased and that Of the Interior De.
rartment worked over and brought up
to date.
+ It is contemplated to bring the ex-
hibit to Gulfport by Government
barge after the closing at San Diego
and store in a large building where
it can be worked over and added to
by the opening day in December next
year.
Mississippians have a cause to feel
grateful toward Congress for the con-
sideration shown by bringing this
great exhibit here and affording to
our people an opportunity Of seeing it
and understanding better the methods
employed by Uncle Sam in handling
the affairs of great nation.
Faint heart never won fair lady, nor
will backwardness on the part Of the
people of Mississippi eyer get Tor
them what they deserve,

good business for the mail order
houses to send out their catalogues to
the people and advertise in the news
papers and magazines, 1t is equally
good for the farmer to bring to the
attention OF the consuming public his
wares.
A striking demonstration Of what
publicity and exploitation will do II
sensibly handled can be found in the
several patent medicines that are In
favor throughout the country. This
business has been built in that way.
Thousands of people were never aware
of the fact that they possessed a liver
and that sometimes it got out OF
whack until they read all about 1t in
the medicine pamphlet, and how those
little pills would correct all of the
trouble and make that old liver better
than it was at first.
The Grown in Mississippi" cam
paign was nothing but slight begin
ming to awaken the people Of our state
to the necessity Of using home prod
ucts as far as possible and letting the
fellow on the outside know how good
they were and why he should use
! them in his home. The Exposition Of
fers many times over the opportunity
of making the other fellow buy and
use what we can grow and insure a
reasonable market for it.
Other states have done this, and 1t
is almost criminal that our people
have not done likewise. We are en-
titled to a fair chance and a reason
able price for our stuff, but If some
thing is not done to create demand
for it, is goes without saying that we
must rock along and barely exist, while
other people are doing well and en-
joying the best there is in life.
1t is duty the husband owes his
wife and family and that all good citi-
zens owe their country to get what is
rightfully theirs and let the commun-
ity and state profit thereby.
If we are to have good roads,
good schools, good churches and
good homes and give to our children
some of the advantages of life in a fair
community, it is imperative that ag-
gressive action be taken along the
lines indicated.
Half a million Mississippians will
visit the Exposition and study the ex-
hibits and demonstration shown there.
1t will afford the greatest opportun-
ity of lifetime for creating an in
terest and enthusiasm for the many
progressive movements being cam
paigned for in the state.
The Exposition management is anx-
ious to join hands with the people in
every movement that will help to i'm
prove general conditions. 1t is an
other organization in the state of Mis-
sissippi to aid those already doing SO
much that is really helpful to all of
the people.
1t is safe to repeat that the man
who always waits for something to
turn up never has any turnips. If the
farmers of Mississippi ever expect to
create a demand and a market for
their products they must make a de-
termined and energetic campaign to
that end. The national and state gov
ernments are helping, but there is
something for the people to do as we'll.

A Drift Toward War.

President Wilson's request is
equivalent to asking authority
to inaugurate a policy of armed
neutrality. From armed neutral
ity to war the distance is short.
In many respects our approach
to a crisis in this great war is
similar to the road we travelled
before the War of 1912. Mr.. John
Quincy Adams, in his life of
James Madison, clearly outlines
the stages through which this
country drifted into war. There
was as much excuse for the war
with England Immediately fol-
lowing the breaking of the treaty
of Amiens as there was seven
years later. England at that time
was lord of the sea. She made
sea rules which suited her own
purposes. She urged national
necessity as a justification.
American seamen were impress
ed. Even a lowly midshipman
presumed to pass upon the rights
of an alleged American citizen.
and declared him to be British
subject and impressed him.
On one occasion an American
warship was att cked and shot
almost to pieces. Still there was
no war.
On another occasion an Eng
lish warship attacked an Ameri-
can warship which had a fighting
man as commander and he re-
torted by shooting the English
ship full of holes. And yet there
was no war.
The rule which England violat-
ed, and which violation drove
us to war, is the rule that Ger
many is now violating. That rule
is the abridgement of the rights
of the United States upon the
high seas. The seas are no mans
territory, and they are every
mans territory. For a certain
distance beyond the shores they
are unde the control of govern
ment. Beyond these shores there
may be blockades, if the block
aiding is properly done.
In 1872 England assumed to
blockade the entire ocean. In 1917
Germany is assn ming the same
thing. If we permit this principle
to be put into force by Germany,
or by any other nation, we give
up a privilege for which we
fought in 1912.
II our people appreciate the
blessings of liberty, we are peril
ousIy close to war, but If our
people are for peace at any price,
if they are ready to give up part
of their liberty, then they are
Just as far away from war as
they have added liberties to sur
render. If we permit our ships to
be blown up because they are
in a paper forbidden zone, or if
we withdraw from these zones,
we might as we'll permit to be
carried out an order Of some
power that all of our ships re-
main in our own ports. Com
mercial Appeal.
