tors Cannot Arouse Him.

Camden, N. j., March 12.-Asleep
over a week, Chris 3pher Gurtchetf,
seven years old, battles the efforts Of
the physicians in the Cooper Hospital
to awaken him.
A recen. nervous breakdown is be-
lieved to be the cause OF his eXtraor-
dinary malady, although the physi-
clans admit they have never treated
case exactly like this. They say 1t
differs from the sleeping sickness. -
The lad began to be listlesS IN
school, and was sent home. He reviV-
ed and while studying his lessons fell
asleep. His parents, believing this
was but temporary exhaustion, did not
worry until at the expiration OF tWen-
ty-four hours they were unable to
awaken the boy. He was then sent to
the hospital.
Only for a few seconds was' there
any apparent awakening in response
to treatment, the stimulants admins
,Rred having virtually no effect.

take cold. The longer cold hangs

from the germ diseases, as a cold

Mississippian Appointed as Commits
sioner of Accounts,

Washington, Jan. 2.-Robert G.
Hand Of Mississippi has been appoint
ed commissioner of accounts and de-
posits of the Treasury Department.
This is a new position, the creation
of which has been necessary by the
large increase in the accounting
transactions of the treasury and the
cash deposits of the government in
banks throughout the country on ac-
count of war operations. The COM
missioner, under the assistant secre-
tary in charge of fiscal bureaus, will
have administrative supervision over
the division of bookkeeping and war
rants, the division of public moneys
and their relations to the treasurer's
office.
The appointment Of Mr.. Hand is a
recognition of merit and the promo
tion of civil service official. He en-
tered the treasury as clerk in the
office of the auditor for the War De-
partment at $3.50 per annum in 1901,
rising to the position of assistant
treasurer Of the United tSates in A
pril, 1919. The efficient manner in
which Mr.. Hand has discharged his
duties in each of the positions which
he has occupied in the treasury SER
vice and his great familiarity with
the accoupting and banking methods
of the government caused the secre-
tary to select him for the important
position which has just been Great
ed.

]. E. Robertson to Seek Bail.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Jan. 14.-J. E.
Robertson, who is charged with hav-
ing shot and killed James Boutwell,
and his two sons on the Robertson
place, near here last May, will make
application for bail soon. He has
been in Jail here since the killing,
and his case in the Circuit Court OF
Copiah County several weeks ago was
continued on account of the illness of
a material witness. The grand jury
here few weeks ago found three in
dictments each against Robertson
and his wife, charging them with
murder. One Of the grounds for ask
ing bail for Robertson at this time is
his long confinement in Jail has i'm
paired his health. Mrs. Robertson is
out on bail in the sum of $2,500.
The continued rains caused consid-
cradle damage to the public roads in
this county and injured the truck
farms.
Miss Lilly Baas has sold her resi-
dence to Carl Strauss and Clyde
Brown has sold his residence to Mel
son Gouldman. There is not a va
cant house in Hazlehurst.
The Board of Supervisors of this
county met Tuesday to check up the

BOARD OF cENsoRs DEMANDED.

The Legislature will pass upon a
Board of Censorship for the State in
the matter of movie pictures. Meth
er Mississippi, Georgia nor Alabama
has Censorship Board. These
states should have a Board. Gov.
Bflbo of our State wants ito protect
the woman and children from the
evil effects of these undesirable pic
lures" We presume there will be
another bill passed to protect the
women and children from the men!
For the sake OF pure manhood
of that part of our youth who in
spite of the sensual tendency of the
ttmes-have kept themselves unsl-
lied, we would plead for a Board of
Censorship that both boys and girls
men and women, be protected from
the flames of the flesh. Pass 1t, Mr.,
Legislator, in order that the movie
picture fulfil a mission not to be dis
counted in pleasant diversion, and
educational and religious features
overlooked by conscienceless Aim
companies who cater to a corrupt de-
mand.

Determined to Drink.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 12.-Seizure
of the Jackson Fruits Company plant
and the arrest of the proprietor, j.
J. Baxter, by special agents Of the
United States Department of Justice,
revenue and prohibition enforcement
under the direction of w. Calvin
Wells, federal prohibition director,
and Julian P. Alexander, district at
torney of Mississippi, Monday was
the first raid made in which the re-
cent prohibition act was invoked, and
is believed to have broken the state
wide traffic of the ginger and juniper
products of high percentage of al
cohol.
The plant was seized and the ar
rest made on the allegations that the
products Of this company were being
sold for beverages.
Following the raid the special gov
ernment permit for Baxter to obtain
alcohol was cancelled by Federal Di-
rector Wells.
Records at the government prohi-
bition office showed that Baxter had
obtained approximately 5000 gallons
of alcohol since July, 1919, which he
is alleged to have misused by manu-
featuring it into beverage products.
Officials of the United States attor-
ney's office said that the activities of
this plant had been under investiga-
tion- for some time and that the al
legged beverages had been shipped to
Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas.
Baxter, who was arraigned before
Commissioner Ricketts, for prelimi-
nary hearing, waived examination,
and was held to the grand jury in
the sum of $4,000. This was fur
nished promptly and the accused re-
leased.

Home Run" Cigarettes
Are Certain to Please

Discriminating smokers are now
able to procure their favorite blend
of Bonnie Brown Burley tobacco from
local dealers representing the Ligget
& Myers Tobacco Company, of New
Orleans. After carefully analyzing
the desires of the cigarette smokers
here they have placed with the
Brookhaven dealers a supply Of
Home Runs" certain choice kind
of tobacco that is sure to please.
The secret of the whole thing"
says local representative, ''lies in
the selection of the tobacco. The ex-
cellence of brand depends solely
upon the quality of the--tobacco us
ed and the care which is taken in
aging it. The service of a manufac-
turer is the time and thought and
trouble given to the selection of his
materials, coupled with the sanitary
surroundings of his plant.
Home Runs are made only of the
purest and finest grade of tobacco
grown in Kentucky and aged in New
Orleans. Their purity is guaranteed
by the makers. the Liggett & Myers
Tobacco Company, the largest manu-
facturers of high-grade cigarettes in
the United States"

Comfortable board and keep" are
in demand, regardless of what we
have in Brookhaven. A business wo-
mans club might alleviate some of
the ills of life complained of by en-
ployees who want good homes when
they are not doing business. In some
cities business women have united in
the maintenance of a house to live
in and on the cooperative plan meet
expense and labor incurred at cost
price. But in Brookhaven 1t is all
q pretty saleswoman can do to dress
her pretty hair, put on her pretty
paint, pull on her pretty boots-with
a few other still necessary accessor-
ies-before breakfast, and get to
her place Of business on timel How
could she DO ali that and cook and
wash dishes, teo2 And what would
become Of her manicuring and mas
AaginG--and her beaux? It's a pro-
hlem the girls will solve after a.
while rather than pay exorbitant
prices for poor fare and comfortless

Milk in Winter.

Why do your COWS give less
milk in winter than they do in
summer? Just because nature
does not supply them with grass
es and green food. But we have
come to the assistance of Dame
Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains
the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season,
only, of course, in a more highly
concentrated form. We guaran-
tee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk, and
better milk, with the same feed.
