JEFF DAVIS HIGHWAY AsSO-
CITATION HOLDS MEETING

On Thursday, February q, the
Jefferson Davis highway association
held its annual meeting in the Cham
per Of Commerce building, Memphis.
II was in every sense an interesting
and profitable meeting. The greater
part OF the morning session was
taken up by the citizens of Mississippi
pi IN discussion Of the location of
the highway through that state. One
crowd was contending for what is
known as the bottom route and an
other for the hill route. The bot
tom route is the "air line" or direct
route between Memphis and New
Orleans, running through the towns
of Senatobia and Charleston and on
into Jackson. The hill route goes
through Holly Springs and Grenada
into Jackson, AS the Mississippians
could not agree among themselves,
the whole matter was referred to
committee composed of Tennesseans
and Kentuclians This committee
is to give 80 days notice before meet
ing to make a decision. This in
cident shows that people are awake
to the value Of highways such as
the Jefferson Davis. Those who live
along this line where there is no
dispute will probably take a hint and
show their appreciation by working
for its improvement.
The meeting was presided over by
the president of the association, Mr..
L. G. Norvell, of Newbern, a former
Tiptcnian. Mr.. Norvell made SPLEEN
did address, showing many reasons
for the immediate hard-surfacing of
this road He called attention to the
fact that we had made good fight
to have this road located through
our counties, and had spent our mon
ey in building the Hatchie river
bridge and other improvements, but
that we might yet lose it all to some
other route now bidding for it, If
we do not push it to a successful
finish.
He called attention to the fact that
the United States government has
recently offered us the benefit Of
the auto mail service, which would
have been great benefit to both
producer and consumer in getting
farm produce Of the smaller kind to
market: but this offer was withdrawn
when it was learned that we had only
dirt roads, which would be inpass-
able for q large part of the time.
Hon. Thomas B. King, chairman of
he good roads committee of the
AFarnhis Chamber Of Commerce,
spoke of the benefits of through :
ines Of highway. He said that the :
lav had come when the needs Of the
people and the government for mill
.ary and postal purposes demanded ! !
treat trunk lines Of highway as /
much as it demanded railroads. He :
laid the time is not far distant when !,
. county without such line of road
viii be as far behind as county
low is without railroad. 7
In the election Of officers for the /
.nsuing year, the presidency was =
yiven to Hon. Dave Moss, Of Dyers- Z =
,urg, and the secretaryship to Mr.. !
Mack Somers, Of the same city. Vice :
Presidents were elected from Ken :
ucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and ;

cation of representative citizens at

human beings, homeless and helpless, are fight
ing the twin enemies of starvation and disease.
Almost half million are orphaned children.
The Turks either killed their parents or pestlience
and starvation carried them off. In that land OF
desolation crust of bread is a priceless pos
session and medicine an invaluable gift.
Efforts are on foot now to feed, clothe and
nurse these starving millions Of the Near East.
Thirty million dollars is the sum to be raised IN
the United States between January % and 81.
Richmond committee has charge OF the
campaign here.
A long appeal to the generosity OF the citizens
of Richmond is unnecessary. They have res
ponded nobly to other appeals for aid. Here is
another opportunity to show our love for those
who are destitute and in need of help.
The war is over. Solicitations for war pur-
poses probably will not be made very soon The
call today is for mony to buy bread, clothing and
medicine for millions who will die of starvation
and disease unless a rich country, such as the
United States is, does not come to their relief.
Richmond has an abundance of the world
goods. We can spare money for this purpose and
it should flow copiously and without stint or
hesitation.
The committee that makes the solicitation
should be met with glad hand and sent away
with full hand.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Best Way to Treat
Constipation
BY S. C. BABCoCK, M. D.


The medical books name many drugs
that will move the bowels. The drug store
shelves are loaded down with laxatives,
purgatives and pills. The trouble With
most of them is the after-effects. Com
stipatcd people know that pills work all
right for q little while, but they soon lose
their effect, and change has to be made
to something else. The constant taking OF
pills results in form Of bowel inactivity
that is difficult to cure. The system be-
comes SO accustomed to laxative drugs
that the organs just won't work without
them, and 30 the pill habit becomes as bad
as constipation itself. DR.. Pierce, Of Buff
falo, N. Y, seems to me to have the right
idea. He says the bowels should first be
gently moved with Picrce's Pleasant Pei
lets, and in the meantime laxative foods
only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive
oil, spinach, bran, vegetables and fruits are
fine for constipation. Chew every bite
thoroughly, eat little meat, and be as
active as spossible. Now, doesn't that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will start
the bowels working right; then it is up to
you to keep them right by right eating.
Try Pleasant Pellets for sick headache,
coated tongue, biliousness, dizziness, tor
pid liver or to break up q cold. They
are just fine! :.
Or. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment
soothes, cools and heals piles in most
gratifying way. Perhaps there is no other
remedy for this torturing trouble that
relieves SO surely and quickly. DR.. Pierce
believes Anodyne Pile Ointment will over
come any case that can be overcome by
medical treatment. Try it right now: !.
DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets are intended
for people who suffer from kidney dis
orders-whose backs ache, and whose
systems are overrun with uric acid. Nearly
everybody has too much uric acid.
Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid quickly,
as they are made double strength. :.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED FREss
The War and the Churches

Even the most superficial observer must have
noticed that the war has had stimulating effect
on the churches. Almost every denomination has
an after-the-war program and is enlisting clergy
and laity in movements to link the church more
closely with the actual affairs of life. National
conferences are being called to consider methods
of meeting the question at home and abroad.
The war seems to have aroused members of
the church to new duties and their leaders are
responding with calls to action. They see vast
fields of spiritual conquest open at home and
abroad, and they are losing no time to enter upon
them. The war has given material aspect to
the new church program.
Action has replaced spirit of lethargy that
characterized church efforts before the war.
They are undertaking gigantic enterprises with
the same vision and application of method that
the military leaders applied to the adminstra-
tion of the great war. Big things are in pros
pect. The day of small effort seems to have
passed in church circles.
If broader vision has taken hold of the
church, if the leaders believe they are able to cope
with problems which before went by default, if
the war has been challenge to their constituent
cies, if mankind here and abroad is to be bene-
fitted by the new enterprise of the American
churches, surely no one will refrain from wishing
them success.
The church has endured for many centuries.
If the war has shaken it out of it's complacency
and inspired it with desire to make its verities
felt in the souls and lives of Millions it will be full
filling it's function with greater potency and MAX
ing mankind happier for it's presence
