Espe- cially is that true as to cattle, hogs and poultry of all kinds, so that the live stock pens and sheds will for the second time in two years have to be enlarged materially. Never before in the history of the state was such great interest manifested in live stock. Ticks have been eradicated and the industry now pays whereas before these pests had been gotten rid of the cattle were quar- antined and if sold at all brought small returns. It is different now and Mis- sissippi steers have brought top-notch prices in the northern markets for two or three years. Fortunes have been spent in building up great herds of cat tie. especially Herefords. since Point Comfort XIV won the championship of the world at the Chicago show. Even now the Enochs X Wortman herd of Herefords is being exhibited at all the big western fairs and raking in punches of first prizes. Mississippi is destined to soon become one of the finest live stock states in the Union, and the state fair has been the moving spirit.

What to Use and Avoid
 On Faces That Perspire


 Skin to be healthy, must breathe. It also must perspire-must expel through the pores, it's share of the bodys waste ma- terial. Certain creams and powders clog the pores. interfering both with elimina- tion and breathing. especially during the heated period. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined com plexions. If they would use ordinary ner- colized wax instead of cosmetics they would have healthy complexions. This remark able substance actually absorbs bad skin, also unclogging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger under-skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself The exquisite new complexion gradually peeps out, one free from any appearance of artificiality Obtain an ounce of mercolized wax from your druggist and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream for a week or two, washing it of mornings.

TREASURER ROGERS WINS

Dr. l.. s. Rogers, treasurer of the state of Mississippi, has been quarreling with the capitol commissioners several weeks, or ever since they ordered the elevator shut down for the summer, thus forcing all visitors and employees of the big building to walk up and down three or four flights of stairs. His com plaint was not altogether on account of the dead elevator. however, as he has machinery in his office that is run by electricity, and that was all cut off. forcing him back to antiquated methods of bookkeeping. He demanded that the electricity be restored and the elevator put to work. but no attention was paid to him. He then wrote the commission that if they did not put the current back on he would stop the pay of the engineer and firemen as they were do- ing nothing but loafing, and that the only pay stopped by them was the little white boy who ran the elevator. That brought the commission around and a majority voted to restore the current provided they can get coal. And Treas urer Rogers is afraid they cannot, or will not, get the coal at any very really date.
