Company.

Tupelo, Miss, Jan. 31.-A meeting
of the committee appointed to formu-
late plans for developing the oil pros
poets in and around Tupelo met in
the city hall Friday and decided to
call another mass meeting to be hell
at the courthouse in this city Monday
night, when plans will be laid before
the people Of the entire county.
1t is generally understood that this
committee will report favorably on a
proposition to organize company for
the purpose of drilling for oil on the
lands to be leased to this company by
local people who are interested in the
results.
A great many oil men are coming in
from every section of the country and
investigating thoroughly the oil show
ing at the deep we'll now being bored
at the city light plant. The amount
of oil gradually increases as the drill
ing proceeds, and men who paid little
or NO attention to the showing made
three weeks ago are the most enthu-
siastic oil boosters in the community
now.

TO AVOID
- THE FLU"
First OF All, Make Sure Your Blood
Is Red and Rich-In Fighting Trim.
SAFETY IN VIGOROUS BLOOD
If You're Listless and Depressed
Don't Delay a Minute-Get
Good Tonic.

If YOU get the influenza, see doc
tor at once-but why get it? Isn't
it worth while, instead, to take every
precaution now, against getting it?
Probably the best and first thing to
do is to make sure you are in good
physical condition. During an cpl
de4nic, almost wherever you go, you
are exposed to influenza. AS long as
you are really well, the red co1puscles
of your blood fight off and defeat di-
sease germs. But when you are tired
and run down, when you feel all right
except that you havn't much energy
or enthusiasm, your blood is tired out
too, and you are an easy victim.
Pepto-Mangan has become famous
as a builder of rich, vigorous blood.
1t helps you up when you are run
down. 1t helps you avoid illness. Or,
it helps you recover, if you realized
your poor physical condition too late.
Physicians have been recommend
ing Pepto-Mangan for years, in
cases of anemia (bloodlessness). 1t
is reliable, effective and has record
of over twenty-five years success.
Take no chances with rundown con-
dition. Get PeptoM angan to-day. 1t
is good health insurance.
PeptoM angan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. There is no difference
in medical value. Take either kind
you prefer. But be sure you get the
genuine -Mangan-"Gude's".
The full name should be on the
package. (Advt.)

of T-eacherous, Dangerous
Calomel.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into 1t.
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone for 2 few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just so back and get your
money.
If you take calo1nel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while II you takc
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full OF ambition and ready
for work or play. It's harmless, pleas

MY dOu, NOW SlAu an eilde oii0
died before came to thisw His
voice died away in pitiful wall OF
pathos. II was brought up in that
strict, moral atmosphere which is
common in such religious homes. All
the material of life, and the tempta-
tons common to every boy, were
carefully concealed from me, and l
grew up as innocent as the day | was
born, totally ignorant OF the tempta-
tons which lurk on every hand Of the
unsuspecting. When entered high
school | was still an unsophisticated
child, and it was some time before |
began to suspect that the world was
not entirely all that my parents had
pictured to me. AS my knowledge
grew, my eagerness to know more
about the ways of the world increas-
ed. However, the strict discipline OF
my fathers household served to suf-
fciently check whatever wandering
Vaccinations l had.
"I'hen, upon my graduation from
high SCHOOL, was suddenly transplant
ted from the moral sancity OF my al
most puritan home, with it's moral re-
fining, if too exclusive, influence, to
the varied temptations, the joys and
sorrows of college life. For short
time, my moral life went on as
smoothly as before. But hot house
plant cannot be suddenly taken to the
Attic region, and expected to thrive.
/ knew nothing of temptations and
after my first reserve was broken
down, fell an easy prey to all of
them. Drunk with the seemingly
pleasures of vice, plunged into every
form of dissipation known in that
dissoluted University, and drank the
cups Of sin to the dregs. -Mysreckless-
ness reached such height that / lost
all sense of discretion, something even
sometimes even attending my classes
while drunk. Once, while under the
influence of liquor, attacked one of
my classmates, and almost killed him.
l was Immediately expelled. My
parents were notified before / reached
home, and could invent some excuse.
They thought that l was as free from
sin as in the days when I knelt at my
mothers knee to say my prayer. My
mother was heart-broken at my dis
grace, and the wrath of my father
was terrible. He forbade me ever to
enter his door again. He disowned
me as his son, and drove me from
his roof in disgrace, as never fading
Overcome by my disgrace, and un-
prepared by my training to fight my
own way in the world, l drifted lower
and lower down in the social scale I'M
til l came to this-this!, ledge. An
outcast, a pariah, something to be
despised by my fellovman, an object
of loathing and contempt. I don't
know whereof was going, Jedge," the
stimulating effects of the whisiSey be-
gan to wear off, and he lapsed once
more into the shiftless speech of the
street. "When I fell down on your
doorstep, I was just drifting nowhere

Who is willing with you life's way to
