might serve their country, but have
realized such satisfaction TO them
selves in the opportunity TO serve man
kind that they now desire 10 become a
part of the permanent peace organisa-
ton OF the American Red Cross.
There may. therefore, be perfect
confidence that the peace activities of
the Red Cross will be conducted under
able and inspiring leadership, The
chapters will maintain their organixa-
tons upon scale adequate TO the new
demands 70 be made upon them. Local
committees will indeed appreciate
more and more the value of having In
their midst strong and efficient Red
Cross chapters. The divisional organi-
cations. with honorary and permanent
staffs, will be maintained, always
ready for service, and national head
quarters will have q large and eff
cient personnel to direct the activities
Of the organization as whole.
Study is being given by The national
organization not alone to problems OF
international relief, but to plans in this
country for enlarged home service, the
promotion of public health education,
development OF nursing, the care ana
prevention of accidents. and other cor
related lines which may contribute to
the health and happiness of men, wom-
en- and children. Such plans, when
developed, will. 1t is believed, provide
both for world relief and for home
community service and thus constitute
channel for the continued and useful
expression by Red Cross workers and
members Of those qualities Of sym
pathy and love which our whole people
have poured out so unstintedly during
this war.
For the completion OF its war work
and for the institution of It's peace pro-
gram. the Red Cross Is fortunately in
healthy financial condition Alum
dant occasion for the use of large
funds Of money and great quantities OF
garments and other supplies will con
tinue to arise, but 1t is believed that
there will be no further need for inten-
siye campaigns for fund.- The work
of experimenting governmental activi-
ties which the Red Cross Will be called
upon to do in all parts OF the world
will be upon great scale. but it Will
call for human service rather than for
large expenditures
What the American Red Cross
needs now Is not SO much contribu-
tons of money as the continued devo-
ton and loyalty OF its members This
IS peculiarly true at this moment OF
transition from war to peace Annual
membership involves the payment of
only one dollar The money thus re
ceived not only VIII defray all the ad
ministrative expenses of the organiza
ton, but Will leave it a substantial bal
ance which. together with all funds
subscribed directly for relief, is de
voted solely to that purpose.
The roll call OF the nation is thus
to be called at Christmas time, that
through enrolment in their Red Cross
the American people may send mes
sage 10 our soldiers still overseas and
TO the people OF the world that we are
not merely content with seeing ouY
arms united with our allies in victory,
but that our abiding purpose is that
the love, the sympathy and the tntellt
gence OF all America shall be redsdt
Gated to the permaueut service Of
mankind"

GOVERNOR WAKES ELOQUENT WHEN
 HE CRITICIZES
 CRUSHING PLANT
Bilbo Declares Farmers Get No Benefit From Plants Established for Their
 Special Benefit

Jackson. Miss. January 25-(Special.) Governor Bilbe grows red in the face as well as eloquent when he criticizes the management of the lime rock crushing plants at Oiolona and Waynesboro. both of which he has just visited 'Unless there is a very decided change in ma chinery. equipment and management, !" says the governor, these lime-rock crushing plants are now and will con- tinue to be monumental failures
 \ These plants were established for the benefit of the farmers of the state, but they 3are not getting any benefit for the simple reason that they cannot get the crushed rock. The machinery is so small 7 so badl& constructed with reference to convenience in handling the rock, that the labor of twice as many men is re- quired as should be. The excuse has been that the management could not get the cars to ship out their product but the fact of the business is no product is ready to ship if they had all the cars the railroads own"
 The governor says he knows the value of the crushed lime rock on growing crops, having used it to some extent on his own farm, where it largely increased the yield, and he is confident that thou sands of farmers would gladly buy and use it if they could get it. as the legisla-

 You Drink Water Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps us fit.

Just as coal. when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombusti- ble material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indgestibIe material, which if not completely eliminated from the system each day become food for the millions of bacteria which nfest the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptomain- like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't get feel ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real, hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the 30 feet of bowels the previous days ac- cumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head ache. colds, biliousness, constipa tion; others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache. rheumatic stiff ness, or have q sour, gassy- stomach .fter meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. and begin practicing in- ternal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject-Adv.

MONEY SHE SPENT WASALL WASTED
 6 My Troubles Are Over and I've Gained 10 Pounds Talk ing Tanlac, She Says

T sure hak a hard fight for over a year with indigestion and stomach trou- ble, but since taking Tanlac I am glad to say my troubles are over and I have gained 10 pounds, said Mrs W. R. Woods of 919 Luke street, Meridian, Miss.
 My miserable condition had almost turned me into nervous wreck I had terrible pains all through my chest and a pressure around my heart from gas that arose in my stomach, which nearly choked me. I couldn't eat thing that wouldn't sour in my stomach, and had sharp pains all through my back and sides that would nearly drive me dis tracted, and the only way I could get rid of the pains was by blistering myself All the money I spent for medicine was just thrown away till 1 got hold of Tan lac.
 My friends urged me to try Tanlac and it just made me a new person. The pains are entirely gone from my chest and back and sides and I never have a sign of indigestion. The gas has stopped forming in my stomach, my complexion has cleared up, I can eat anything I want without any trouble, I sleep well at night and feel well all the time"

MACHINERY REPAIR WEEK

The farmers of the southern district of Mississippi are preparing to carry out the suggestion of the state and gov ernment demonstration agents that they observe one week as Farm Machinery Repair Week." J. E. Ruff, district agent, has encouraged all his county agents to stir up interest and enthusiasm in this movement, and they state that it is going to be generally observed. If it is, says MT. Ruff, it will mean the sav- ing of many thousands of dollars to the farmers All wagons, blows and other implements are sto be put in first-class shape before time to use them, and the paint brush is to- be manipulated val iantly

 ping nitrate to Mississippi farmers in a few days from Nashville and Mobile. :" The nitrate was about s70 last year anu is now $S1 at the seaport, but the farm CTS hereabouts are going to have it, no

CALLING FOR PHYSICIANS

The state board of health has a great many calls for physicians. but cannot furnish them even where they are badly needed. It has so happened that a great many physicians went to the war and quite a number have died of the influ- enza. There are u number of towns and thickly settled country districts where there is not doctor in a radius of % miles, and the flu has played havoc in some places. Speaking of this shortage of physicians, Dr. Hall, director of the bureau of statistics. says that very few new physicians are being turned out by the state board. The classes that now present themselves for examination for licenses are not one-tenth as large as heretofore. It used to be the case that 250 or 300 applicants would be here at one time-now there are about 25. This is be- cause of the strict rules and regulations of the board and legislative requirement that they must be graduates of literary as well as first-class medical colleges

CHIEF GREY EAGLE

A distinguished looking Indian spent the day in Jackson this week, and was the observed of all observers. He was Grey Eagle, chief of an Oregon tribe, and is said to be very wealthy, as well as highly educated, and had been sent on a mission to the remnant of Choc- Jaws in Mississippi by the government
 He wanted to know how they were get ting along, and it is said that he was not favorably impressed. The few hun- dred Indians here yet are farming in small way, and manage to eke out an ex- istence, hunting, fishing, making cane baskets, blow-guns, etc They are by no means a thrifty set, but are well treated.

SOLDIERS ARE EXEMPT

The sheriffs and tax collectors of Mis- sissippi are badly muddled over the act of the legislature to exempt soldiers and sailors from the payment of poll and road taxes while in the service, and have ap- pealed to the attorney general for guid- ance, They are told that February l is the date on which, or by which, taxes are to be paid. If not paid then the de- linquent cannot vote for two years. It is held, however. that the soldier still in service can vote, but if he is dis charged before February 1 he must pay. Comparatively few have been mustered l out 50 far, and the chances are that Mississippi is going to have about 5000 soldier votes in the August primaries. And the great majority of them will vote for a candidate for governor who was in the war.

sissippi is taking a different course from that pursued by Florida, where the rail- road commission simply warned all tele- phone companies that 1t was none of Mir. Burleson's business and dared the tele- phone companies to increase rates they did not order. The schedule of rates are said to have been made up by the tele- phone companies, and that MT Burieson just indorsed them. The Cumberland company served notice on Mississippi several weeks ago that they were going to increse rates anywhere from 50 to 80 per cent, but Mississippi will not con sent to be held up in this way if she can help herself.
