PEACE LEAGUE AMONG INDIANS
neIawares Leng Acted as Arbiters un-
oil Deposed by the Militaristic
iroquois Five Nations.

The American Indians did not
know any way to make peace effec-
tive except by appeal to their wom-
On. To ask for peace was thought
TO be so unworthy of a male that un-
less women interviewed there was
nothing for it but to fight on to ex-
tinction. The Five Nations estab-
kshed their peace woman in fort
near Niagara river in long house
divided in the middle by curtain.
She would receive the contending
parties each unknown to the other,
and after she heard their cases, would
draw back the curtain and give her
decision.
The idea of woman as the proper
Rrbiter prevailed in the famous in
ternational agreement between the
1roquois and the Lenni-Lenape. At
this time the courteous and peace
loving Delawares were induced to be-
come arbiters by being made women.
This role of international peace
maker was carried out by the Della
wares for long with dignity and sue
cess. But finally the pacific Della
wares did something which was I'M
pleasing to the militaristic Five Ma
tions of the Iroquois. Whereupon
the Five Nations sent them word
that the Delawares had lost their
right to independent action. And
DO ended the first international peace
Ieague.-Mary Austin, in World
Outlook.

CORN Will Win
DEMOCRACY'SWAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINsTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 5000, 900 bushels. will save the
worlds food situation, officials OF the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
It contains all the elements needed TO
keep the body In a state Of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion OF oil OF
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 81
bushels OF corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by Ave bush
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis OF war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served as a
staple food during the War OF the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly tncreas
ed use in the making Of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds OF housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of mixture Is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America La aSsoci
ated In the war.
There are a score Of corn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead OF
granulated sugar is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and fol
every other purpose filed by salad oils
Is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

MADE. N.GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada IL also having trouble With
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con
troller by the United States food ad
mtnistration.
The stories bothering Canada ars
of the same general character as those
the United States food ADMINISTERS
tor recently denounced In this coun
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti
mates that when the people listen te
and pass on such stories, each on<
has the power of destruction that uea
I'm a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige o.
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually
They have started simultaneously II
different parts Of the country and u
each instance have been calculated u
arouse public indignation.
.DThey are insidious, subtle, persise
emit Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential In the worl
of food control.
"Yt lies with every INDIVIDUAL % TOT
bear from criticism; to refrain NON
passing on the vagrant and harmfu
story, and thus the more enecuveis
to cooperate In work which is gcinl
70 mean more than the majority O
ueople vet realize"

Navy Wants More Men.

VIGIL WduJGU W Hldl IiCW Sulpcs
Those of draft age are accepted.
Joining the navy is easy sail
ing az present for a man of clean
habits and good physique, the
Navil Reserve having been open
ed to all patriots between the
ages Is and az years.
Enlistments in the regular
navy are still being made with
certain limitations. The Reserve,
however, offers the same oppor-
tunities, the same pay, and the
time of active service is for the
period of the war only.
The Recruiting Officer for
Mississippi announces that men
particularly qualified for certain
branches of service will be en-
listed or enrolled in that branch
and their rating and pay advanc-
ed as rapidly as their ability
justifies.
Those with out trades will be
taken as apprentice seamen or
firemen taught trades which
will qualify them for advance
ment in the navy and furnish
them with a useful occupation
when they return to civil life.
Men of draft age may join the
navy if they are not needed to
fill the current quota of their
local boards.
CERTIFICATs NEEDED
Selectmen must obtain q certi-
ficate from their local boards to
this effect, presenting this at
the Recruiting Station when
they apply for enlistment. Each
local board in the state has the
authorized form of such certifi-
cate on file.
Men who had not reached the
age of 81 before June S, 1917
must furnish the Recruiting
officer with an age certificate,
signed by parent or guardian and
witnessed by the postmaster or
some other official.
The hospital corps is still open
for men suited to this branch.
Carpenters are needed, also me-
chanics of all kinds.
During the coming weeks a
drive is to be put in motion for
enrollments in the Naval Re-
serve, special inducements be-
ing offered. 1t is presumed that
the taking over of the Dutch
ships and the launching of new
vessels has created an immediate
need for men, and on this &C.
count great opportunity is Of
fered young men to serve
their country in the navy, the
branch of military service which
has always proved so popular
with Americas sons.
Recruiting Stations are in
Meridian, Jackson, Hattiesburg,
West Point. Temporary stations
will soon be opened elsewhere,
announcement of which will be
made through this paper.

The nerves Of the body are
not unlike the telegraph system
at the Front. The millions Of
nerve fllaments are like a net
work of wires that keep all the
trenches in close sympathy and
communion. Food supplies and
reinforcements are dispatched
here and there and so the nerves
send increased blood and nour-
ishment where It is most re-
quired. The nerve cells guide
the heart and stomach. By this
means the stream OF blood Ia
den with nourishment is sent
to every part Of the body.
So it is that the blood feeds
the nerves. II blood is impov-
erished, we feel nervous-sleep-
less - "fidgety." The blood
needs to be built up. There
should be about fifty grains Of
iron in the body, or as much as
is contained in an ordinary "ten-
penny" nail. If we lack iron in
our blood, we are pale, anemic,
with no vim. We are nervous
or tired. The thing to do is to
