Mrs. Doll Davis DAYS She

Il don't believe | coNId possi-

terrible condition Of my st mach
For two or three hours after
meals my food would lie lin my
stomach undigested and cause
me a world of suffering. My
food didn't seem to nourish me
at all, and / just got weaker all
the time. My nerves were also
in awful condition, and for the
past year / was not able to sleep
very much. Many nights would
suffer from a nervous, throbbing
headache all night long, and not
sleep a bit. Every morning ]
would just have to drag myself
out of bed, and if over-exerted
myself the least bit during the
day I would have to go back to
bed. My kidneys gave me lots
of trouble, too, and l had slight
attacks of uremic poison. l fl

THE KIND OF MAN THE PEOPLE
LOST FOR GOVERNOR.

The following letter was published
In the Clarion-Ledger after the state
ment referred to in another Jackson
paper was published. Ex-Goy. Lon
gino's correction of the matter in so
courteous and deferential manner,
under the circumstances in which he
finds himself, attests the Gentleman
from Mississippi that the State may
applaud regardless of the results of
political preferences:
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 8, 1919.
Editor Clarion-Ledger:-
The Javkson Daily News of yes
terday annoupced in large, display
headlines that ! will support Lieut..
Oscar Johnston for Governor in the
second primary. The statement was
without authority from me or any
one authorized to make it.
Since crave the privilege of be-
ing permitted to choose for myself
whom will support, and to vote
for either or neither of the gentle
men in the race, as my judgement
may approve when the time arrives,
will thank you to give space in your
paper for this explanation.
Yours respectfully,

IN FOR THE SECOND PRIMARY,

Some editors OF the State press
are congratulating themselves and
the people that the First Primary has
passed.
1t has again been proven that "All
Is not gold that glitters'' for the can
didates.
The canvass has been ''tolerably
clean" as conservative wise-acre
puts it.
Nobody has paid much. attention
to political capital made up to win
out of another's alleged dernerits in
stead of the merits of the candidate
that everybody knew about.
Elections after all, however, are
judgement days to some extent at
least. A man has to stand by his
record and he cannot control the at
titude the people will. take with re-
spect to it. Young men should take
note of this now and avoid mistakes
and certainly wilful acts that may
rise up to thwart their ambitions in
the future. A man should be for
given for mistakes; but prospective
candidate should make as few as pos
.sible and thus make 1T

him on election day. Young men
should really prepare to serve their
country as officers and statesmen.
The candidates in the running for
the few days before the second pri-
mary realize as never before that
time is short and are making the
most of it.
The two candidates for Superin-
tendent and the two for Sheriff are
eliciting more interest and enthu-
siasm than the Office even of Repre-
sentative or of Circuit Clerk or the
others. These two offices touch so
intimately the life of our county that
the spotlight will be turned on them
from now until the die is cast in the
Second Primary.
Messrs. Ellzey and Grice have con-
bined in their further canvass for the
office of Superintendent. McInnis
and Applewhite for Sheriff are she'll
ing the words single-handed and ex-
pect to win the same way.

FOOD COSTS AND CAUSES.

Cash wheat in Kansas City yester-
day sold for $2.18; No. 2 sold for
$2.15. No. 2 mixed corn sold for
$1.S5. Spot middling cotton was
quoted in Memphis yesterday at "a
cents per pound. Hogs in Fort
Worth yesterday were quoted at $23
a hundred.
These cities are next door to the
farms and plantations. One can haul
a train load of meat, load and unload
1t, from Kansas City to Memphis, for
less than cent pound.
The southern farmer could grow
his cotton cheaper if he could get
his meat, meal and -four cheaper.
The hog grower could sell his
hogs at 109cents pound and would
consider himself happy if he could
secure his. corn around 81 busheI.
In this region of basic material will
be found the key to the high cost of
living, and after the key is secured
1t can function by decreasing the
cost Of production and the fnal cost

ATHLETICS FOR A LIFETIME
Former President Eliot Of Harvard
University Gives Some Advice
to Freshmen.

With the object of preserving
sound mind In sound body, look
ahead with regard to athletic sports.
II may make some difference to you
In the next four years, perhaps, II you
look ahead with regard to athletic
sports. Under modern stresses ath-
letic sports are an indispensable part
Of young life, and indeed, of sound
national life. One Of the most seri-
GUS aspects of China at the present
moment is the absence there of all
the sports we call athletic" Neither
the educated nor the uneducatetd
Chinese have athletic sports in the
open air. All their sports are of a
gambling nature. They are sedentary
or quiet games Of chance. That is a
national misfortune on an immense
scale.
BY looking ahead in regard to ath-
letic sports, ! mean. give preference
to those sports that last, and that you
can pursue at 30, 40. so. 60, 70 and
am beginning to hope so years of
age. You know what the lasting
sports are-walking, rowing sailing a
boat, tennls-any sport which can be
pursued by the average individual all
through life.
Lord Bacon says that riding horse
back is the best recreation for men
who use their brains The sports
that an individual can pursue all
through his life are the best ones to
learn In youth. The wise choice in
wolves looking ahead.-Presldent Eliot

LITTLE INTEREST IN FLYING
United States Stands Lowest In MIL
tary Aviation, Because Of Lack
Of Public Concern.

According to Lieut.. Benjamin d.
Foulois, who was rated by orville
Wright and others as one OF the most
capable avlators In any army, the
lack of public interest In aviation In
this country Is deplorablo. To this
lack of public interest, Lieut.. Foulols
charges the responsibility for the fact
that the United States is at the foot
Of the list of great powers in tho
development of military aviation
THE public spirit that prevails
abroad is the mighty factor In this
rapid development" he said. "and Il
is the lack of this spirit In tho United
States that is responsible for our be
ing so far behind.
I'VE can never expect to see any
great amount of public interest dis
played in the development OF aircraft
in this country until II is proved to the
people of the United States that II Ia
O good financial investment.
"The fact that this new science ia
particularly useful for military pur
poses does not appeal to the great
majority of our complacent money
making people,"
Lieut.. Foulois expressed the opin
ion that at present skilled avlators
operating properly designed and con
structed machines. equipped with pow
erful motors. can fly in almost any
wind. He then went on to quote
Orville Wright as having stated that
It is now possible to construct aero
planes that would carry 25 persons.

of 100 miles an hour. II necessary
