DRUMMER WAS IN
TERRIBLE CONDITION
Saws He is Much Better New
After Taking Vim Hepatica

"You can go the limit In saying what
you please about me-" says d. M. Bow
ers, a well-known Nashville salesman,
to the Vim Hepatica expert. Il am SO
much better off than I ever thought l
could be after the awful experience l
have had for years with my stomach.
Il was in such a terrible condition
that just couldn't hold anything on
my stomach. Nothing would satisfy
me. / suffered SO terrible at times
that I almost wished / didn't have a
stomach. But / want to say to you
right now that Vim Hepatica has SO
completely relieved me that | can eat
anything without the least fear Of it
upsetting my stomach.
And if anybody asks YOU" said he,
at the Arcade Drug Store, what I
think of Vim Hepatica, you can just
go to the limit. ANYTHING that will do
a fellow as much good as Vim He
patica did me in my almost unbear-
able condition is worthy of the highest
praise that mortal tongue a give It.
We strongly recommend this great
Nature remedy. Come and get q bottle
and try it, on our recommendation. We
know it is a real medicine Of the high
est merit.

The Bureau of the Census is MAX
ing an official test of the efficiency
of birth Registration in Mississippi.
This test is confined to the months
Of January and February, 1913. III
other words, the registration of births
during these months is used as a
basis by the Government of the eff
ficciency in recording birth certificates
with the Bureau of Vital Statistics in
this state. 1t is very urgent that all
Registrars in each county of the state
send in during the next ten days any
delayed Birth Certificates for the
above named months. Owing to war
conditions and the requirements of
the National Government it is ur-
gent that the births of all children be
officially recorded in the Bureau of
Vital Statistics at Jackson, Missis-
sippi. Each Registrar will therefore
be doing a patriotic service to this
state by making an earnest effort to
comply with the above request. DR..
r. w. Hall, Director of the Bureau
of Vital Statistics is doing most ag-
gressive work at this time to get Mis-
sissippi recognized on. births by the
Bureau of the Census.

MRS. sALLIE WRIGHT REDUS


Died, at her home in Shannon,
Miss, Sunday afternoon, July It'll,
1918, Mrs. sallie Wright Redus,
aged Cd years.
Mrs. Redus had been in failing
health for several years and her IN
dition was the source of %apprehen-
sion to her family and friends for
some time. After the death Of her
husband, the late w. B. Redus last
fall, she began to decline rapidly and
the. end came peacefully Sunday
while her sorrowing family and
friends. gathered around her bedside.
Miss Sallie Wright was a native Of
Chickasaw county, and in 1874 was
married to w. B. Redus Of Shannon.
She was Immediately recognized by
her new neighbors as a woman OF
high ideals and possessed of those
qualities of mind and heart that go
to make Southern womanhood lovable
and attractive. She took a deep IN
terest in the affairs of the church and
the sick and afflicted were always her
special care In her social life she
drew around her a class of friends
who grew to admire and love her
more and more as the years passed
By. Her home was blessed with six
children. three sons and three daugh-
tiers, all of the lated being taken
from her by the will of the Master.
But with a true Christian spirit she
bowed in humble submission to His
will. In her family life she was an
affectionate wife and mother who a
devoted to every interest and welfare
o fher husband and children. In her
passing away the three sons sustained
an irreparable loss while the commu-
nifty loses one of its truest and noblest
women.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the Presbyterian church,
of which she was a member, Rev. j.
D. Hunter, her pastor, conducting the
services. Mr.. Hunter paid a. high

In It's campaign to clothe the people
OF Belgium and Northern France the
Red Cross yesterday received from,
New York more than TOO tons of cloth
ing.
In the four days of clothes collec-
ton, week about 2,150 tons have
feached the various collection sta
tions.
Though we'll pleased with both the
quantity and quality of clothing re.
ceived, Joseph NJ Price, chairman Of
the clothes collection committee. in
sisted that the needs of the inhab
itants of the invaded region are
urgent.
II cannot forbear urging the people
of New York to clear out of their
wardrobes the very last article they
can spare" he said. "The Commission
for Relief in Belgium at first asked
the Red Cross to raise only 5000 tons.
Later reports of the misery in Belgium
and Northern France have been such
as to make US double our efforts.
These people are nearly naked"
1he response from merchants and
manufacturers has been especially
gratifying. he said. The storeroom of
the Belgian Relief Commission. at 557
broadway, yesterday received from the
National Cloak and Suit Company
eight large packing boxes. contajning
l,6O0 pounds of clothing.
Other large contributions from man
ufacturers and wholesalers include d
100 suits of clothes and As pairs OF

]
ALBANY, March 28.-Thc success or
failure of the ratification of the pro-
posed bone dry amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution was put up sQuarelv
to Governor Whitman to-day by Sena-
tor George f Thompson, of Niagara
County.
This sensational turn in the fight Of
the vets ard drys was made in the
Senate to-day when Senator THOMPSON
assumed the active leadership of the
drys and announced ne would make the
motion to suspend the rules in order
to restore the Hill-McNab bill to it's
original form of resolution ratifving
the proposed Federal amendment.
The action of Senator Thompson fol-
lowed conference here of the dry
leaders at which it vas decided it
would be better to have some one other
than Senator James A. Emerson. of
Warren County, to lead the fight. They
feared that Senator Emerson's wet roc.
ord would make him the target of his
crstwhilc associates among the anti
prohibition forces
Senator Thompson declared that thc
Governor ought to call "A special cleo
tlon IN the 9Th and dlst Senatorial dis
tricts. here are vacancies in these
districts because of the resignation of
Senators John j. Helrcrnan. of BROOK
lyn, and Morris S. Halliday, of Ithaca.
Senator Thompson's argument was
that the conversion Of Scnntor Emcr-
son gave the drys twenty-five votes. one
short of a needed majority. and thot
the special polls would mean The cleo
