Opening up the big guns Of Meth
odlsm. preachers yesterday in the va
rlous churches Of the city threw hot
shot into the lines OF the "wets'
with all the power Of their oratory,
I Every Methodist pulpit and some in
the churches OF other denominations
was occupied by a visiting Methodist
preacher, who used the occasion TO
launch torrent OF facts and figures
against supporters OF the demon
rum"
Continuing the campaign begun the
day before, when speakers at the Anti
Saloon League anniversary denounced
doctors OF the State for their attitude
on the prohibition question, speakers
yesterday declared their intention not
only to maintain the present prohibi-
tive laws at their flrmest position, but
TO carry the campaign into other coun-
tries In support Of the stand taken in
this country through the Eighteenth
Amendment.
The great World War was in a
large sense a conflict between the
forces OF a country debauched by pow
er and weakened by liquor and a
young manhood free from the contain
| mating influence Of alcohol, accord
ing TO Rev. Clarence True Wilson. gen
eral secretary OF the Methodist Epis-
copal Church Board Of Temperance, in
! his addHcss in Grace NJ =. Church last
night.
Doctor Wilson declared this country
must maintain a strictly honest atti-
tude towards the people OF other coun.
J tries in the matter OF liquor traffic II
iit would retain the respect Of the world
in that regard. Speaking OF q sugges-
/ tion Of a prominent brewer that he be
permitted TO take his breweries to Mex
leo and set them up there under the
protection Of the American nag, Doc
! tor Wilson declared Americans could
not permit the liquor interests to soil
the unstained folds Of the American
nag by such iniquity.
Opening the session, the Rev. Wilbur
f. Corkran, OF Crisfeld, Md, prayed,
God have mercy upon the Governor
OF Maryland, who has allied himself
with the devil in the matter Of the
liquor traffic and give him light to
save his soul from the influences Of
Satan"
He prayed earnestly for Governor
Townsend. for Gods help TO him In
maintaining the noble stand he had
taken in the temperance cause.
Rev. John W. r. Sumwalt presided
al the meeting. The church audito-

WORRY

1t is said that worry is great
shortener of life. We have all seen
sufficient evidences among our friends
and relatives to know that this state
ment is true. One gxeat writer has
SAID that worry is rust on the blade.
Now if this disease is so fatal it is
time that we found a cure for it.
Sotrp persons in their thoughtfulness
or in their lack of knowledge can only
say Forget" when they find a per-
son worrying. This may be effective
fiicted with the worry disease would
rather be shown way out of the
gloomy dells into which their indul.
gence in worry has cast them. Worry
in most cases is caused by exhaustion
or overwork. Unless it is checked i'll
time it becomes habit, a most diff
cult one to overcome. The best thing
one can do when ones housework, Of
flee work or store work gets on ones
nerves, so to speak, is to rest the
body. The vigor of the body must be
increased before one can acquire suf~
! fcient will-power to abolish worry.
While more sleep is necessary, it is
also advisable not to wait until night
to rest the body, and mind. Stop all
work for few minutes and relax.
Let your thoughts wander, or if you
must think let your thoughts be pleas
ant ones. Forget the subject tina has
been annoying you. Lack Of fresh air
causes feeling of fatigue, and ia
tigue in turn breeds worry. You can
therefore, see the necessity for filling
the lungs with sufficient fresh air dur
ing the day. Very few persons living
in cities spend more than one hour in
the fresh air every day. Since such is
the case, effort must be made to bring
fresh air indoors. When you feel fret
full or worried stand by an open win
dow and indulge in deep breathing
YOU will be surprised to find how this
will brace you for some time to come

A RARE TYPE
Editorial Notice on the death oi
Hon. Dan Scott.
rel

Nature blended some of her rarest
qualities in Dan Scott. His lnhen-
tance was the fine ideals which made
the older civilization of Mississippi
proud one. and his long and useful life
was devoted to them. Lack of years
kept him from being a soldier of the
Confederacy. In that dismal period
which followed the Civil War he gave
the best that was in him to his State
and to his people,
He was a great lawyer and con-
structionist. Some of the greatest le-
gal battles of Mississippi were fought
nv him. Honors were not sought by
him, but he so lived that he reaped
the full measure of honor, the esteem
Of his fellow citizens. He came from
a splendid stock which has given much
TO the development Of North Missis-
sippi. His wife was Gerger The
Scots and the Yergers have written
much of the history Of Mississippi lie
was rare type of citizen, splendid
gentleman and withal an an uprgh'
