JACKSON Is FIELD FOR
CHARITY RELIEF WORK

JACKSON, Tenn, Jan. 6, (Spl.)-
That the charity relief work In Jackson
might be maintained on a systematic
basis, that there might not be duplica-
ton of giving and that the possibility
of an imposition being made by un-
worthy parties might be eliminated,
capt. D.. G.. Coy and a number Of the
leading charity workers of the city urge
the public to refer all applicants for
charity to the Volunteers OF America
nome. A number of impositions have
been made in the city recently, states
capt. Coy, by unworthy people who
make 1t a practice to prey upon the
good will of c~haritably inclined indi-
Vlduals. There are a number of cases
of this nature in the city at present
and it is the policy Of the Volunteers
Of America to force these unworthy
parties, who are entirely able to work,
to make an honest living.
While there are unworthy applicants
for charity in the city, Capt. Coy states
that none of the deserving poor Of the
city are being overlooked. An investi-
cation is made of all poor families in
the city and If the parties are found
worthy the proper relief Is supplied and
assistance rendered in finding employ
ment for those who are able to work.
As a result of the recent charity cam
paign. In which the Jackson citizens
subscribed over 81, 500, the Volunteers
Of America are prepared to adequately
care for all Of Jackson's poor who are
deserving Of help, states Capt. Coy.
and every possible assistance viii be
given to the worthy poor of the city.
The individual solicitations hat are
made for charity are frequently undc-
serving and It Is felt that no person
In the city is obligated to make such
contributions. The officials OF the local
charity work are OF the opinion that
those who are solicited for charity
should refer the applicants to the v.
OF A. home where an investigation viii
be made and the proper relief supplied
II the applicant is found WORTH.

 For the past ten years l have sug- fered from stomach trouble in the form of indigestion and would have terrible pains after eating. 1 could scarcely keep any food in my stomach, as it would ferment and cause gas to form. I would have such a choking feeling at times that could hardly get my breath, 1 had such terrible dizzy spells that l felt as if | would fall over. l had pains all through my body could not sleep aA night, and felt weak and all run down. l lost in weight and was reduced to skin and bones' I started to take Plant Juice and got relief from the first few doses I took. Since I have continued to take 1t I can honestly say that it has put me on my feet and I feel like living again. I eat all kinds of food and have a good appe- tite for my meals. l sleep well and have no more trouble with gas.

MULLEN INSANE, ,
 AL|EN|STS THINKS Courtroom Flushed as De- fendant's Mother Tells of
 Change In Son
By Associated Press

Selma, May 27.-Following testimony of members of the family of Andrew Mullen, trial for the murder of Carl ton Ward and business associates to the effect that since he is said to have heard of alleged approbrious remarks made about his sister by her former husband, Carlton Ward, in September, 1918, his disposition has changed and he has acted as an insane man, the defense in the case this afternoon called pr. G. B. Du- bose, expert alenist and head of the Vaughn Memorial Hospital here.
 Answering hypothetical question based on the testimony that Mullen pre- vious to the shooting of Carlton Ward on May IS in the Dallas courthouse had .nanged in disposition and feared being shot in the back, and on the night of May r had halucination of man in an automobile dressed as a woman, who, he said, was going to shoot him, Dr. Dubose said he believed the defen- dant insane.
 Cross-examined by the state. Dr. Du- bose described the type of insanity as paranoia, which he defined as aside from the mind, or error of mind.' Efforts or the part of Attorney w. W. Quarles for the state to make the doctor give an opinion on the relative importance of the symptoms detailed apart and separate failed the expert always answering that symptoms must be taken in the com pleX.'
 The crowded courtroom was hushed and tears came to many eyes when the mother of the defendant, Mrs. Alice D. Mullen, wept she told of the change which she said had come over her son. Testimony of doctors as experts will be resumed when court convenes at o'clock tomorrow. The case promises to take up two more days.

TO
 WITHDRAW FROM
 INTERCHURCH PLAN
(Continued from Page One)

presbyteries have formally declined to give their indorsement, to which not ore synod or presbytery has asked that the assembly give indorsement CT adherence, and in respect to which there is no constitutional provision, against the unwisdom of entering upon that relation and work by a bare ma- jority of the assembly, and against the assembly's refusal by majority of barely one vote to submit so vital a question of relation and work to tie presybteries for their advice and consent
 It developed today that it was the question of submission to the presby- tories of a questionnaire to ascertain their will concerning the inter church movement upon which the vote late Wednesday night was a tie of 99 to go and on which Dr. w. l.. Lingle, moderator. cast the deciding vote in the negative. In the confusion of the many viva voce votes in the final hour of the night session, it had been reported that the tie vote broken by tie moderator. was on the question of aGoption of the majority report of the committee. This report as amended, was declared adopted by an uncounted iajority, without the moderator vot- irg, it was explained. Dr. Lingle to- day declared he had been done an in- justice in being represented as east ing the deciding vote on adoption of the committee report for full co-opera- ton with the inter- church.
