.jUNNIC TED MEN
MAY BE GASSED

Carson City. Nov.-A hill 9rovid. ing for the use of lethal gas in eX- ccutfug the death penalty in Nevada was signed here today by Governor Boyle.
 ] Signing of the bill abo!isnes other forms of capital punishment in the state. Hitherto condemned men had the choice between hanging or shooting.
 Nevada is believed to bH the first state to adopt gas as 9 means for capital punishment.
 Under the new law, the death warrant must designate q week within which the execution must take place. This week must be not less than sixty nor more than nine ty days after the date of the judg- meat.
 , The law calls for a suitable cell for iuIlicting the penalty where gas is used and provides that the war den. a competent physician ahd six other citizens must witness the eX- ecution.
 The bill gives no details concern s ing the cell, but sponsors for the bill said it was understood that it was intended that it should be air tight, fitted with windows of thick glass and equipped with valves 60 admit air
 It was planned that when the con demucd man should be asleep tie air valves would be closed and others. admitting lethal gas be opened. life being taken without the prisoners awakening.

Washington. April 14.-In his -.t wcssa.o 10 congress, President Harding started by saying that con- gross should adopt q resolution de- claring peace with Germany without further delay.
 The President stated that such action could in no sense be con- strued as a desertion of the Allies. and he made it plain that it was his belief that the League of Nations is dead measure.
 The lowering of taxes and retail prices were outstanding features of his message and his reCOmmenda- lions for dealng with domestic pro- hlums and the peace resolution, Mir. Harding explained should undertake to do no more than declare a state oG peace and must put no difficulty in the way of the collection of repara- tfons or the restoration of war torn Europe.
 Turning his back completely on l.c League of Nations. the Chief EX ccutive rcafIlrmed his allegiance to an ideal world association of Ma tious. but this problem he said must he deliberately considered and he promised to invite the advice of the senate when he felt il time to act.
 In the existing League of Nations ,Lc world is governing with it's su- borrowers and this republic have no part, he said and there can be no uisiutcrpretation and there will be u0 betrayal of the deliberate eXpres-

 Continuing his message President Harding read, "The surest proceed ure in every government is to put it's house in order and l know of no more pressing problems at home than to restrict our national eX- penditures and give most substan- tial relief from the present tax bur den that must come from the read iustment of the mternaal tax and revision or the repeal of those taxes which have become so unproduCtiya and burdensome as 10 defeat their own purposes.

]. L. Hutts
Writes OF Trip
To Oil Fields

The following interesting letter
from j. L. Hutts will be read with
pleasure by his many friends here:
Jennings, La, Feb. A, 1921.
Mr.. L. M. White,
Editor of the Mexico Evening Ledger,
Mexico, Mo.
Dear Mr.. White:-
l thought perhaps it might be time
for me to give an account of myself.
After spending few days in Okla
homa, during December, landed in
Houston, Texas, that great CONNER
cial city in Southeast Texas, which
passed 27 cities in population during
the last 10 years. After few days
visit there, l came to Jennings, Louis
lana, where I am visiting my daugh-
ter, Mrs. Fred I. Getty.
This. country is a land Of sunshine
end bowers, as you will see peach bios
SONS, roses and beautiful camelias in
all colors. Many Of the boys are run
ming over the city barefooted, and en-
joying real spring life in mid-winter.
There has been only one frost in this
section fthe country since have
been here.
/ Jennings is a good live Northern
! town, of 4000 people, on Southern soil
In many respects this is a wonderful
country. A magnificent high school is
1 just being completed here, with every
modern equipment, costing about
$235, 900, which gives her four public
schools. 1t is located on the main line
Of the Southern Pacific R. R., between
New Orleans and San Francisco, and
also on the main transcontinental
gravel highway. Much money has
been expended on public highways in
this section of the country.
The principal. money crop here is
rice. The warehouses are bursting to
overflowing with the finest of rice
which cannot be sold at scarcely any
price. The opportunities are many
here, but the greatest difficulty l see
is that the people of Louisiana have
gone to sleep, and do not realize the
wonderful possibilities of this great
and fertile section of the United
States. Irish potatoes have already
been planted and are being planted al
this time, and cabbage, lettuce
onions, caulifower, and other garder
trucks where they are planted, arr
now ready for the table, fresh from
the garden. This is the home of th'
fig, pear, plum, pecans, -blackber
, ries, and dewberries. Good corn, oat
!. and cotton are grown here, but tn
! farmers think they have no time fo
much agriculture except the growinI
! of rice.

ing the balmy days of this field, tn

Warns About The Colds
Coughs And The Sneezes

a looking glass, and the drops Of
sputum will be plainly demonstrated.
The nose and mouth should always be
covered when sneezing and coughing.
A person who coughs and sneezes
without this precaution is menace
to the community and should be
avoided.
0ver-eating predisposes to these af-
fections. The diet should be nourish-
ing but easily digested. One should
not forget to drink water in winter
time. We do not lose so much water
by the skin as in summer, and con-
sequently do not feel thirst so keenly;
hence we are very apt to neglect the
drinking of water.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. Snow is
particularly good time to watch
your health, according to DR.. M. P.
Ravenel, president of the American
Public Health Association and profess
sor in the School of Medicine of the
University of Missouri.
This is the time of year when all
ments of the upper respiratory tract
are much in evidence. 1t is also the
time when more serious respiratory
diseases, like pneumonia and pleurisy,
are prevalent. The changeable wealth
er Of the present winter, with its
warm, damp days followed by cold
winds, is particularly trying.
1t must be remembered, however,
that the weather is not the final cause
Of coughs, colds, or pneumonia, but
that all of them come from infection
with germs, some of which are well
known. The weather, with it's sudden
changes from warm to cold, does.
however, lower our vitality and make
US predisposed to infection.
1t is particularly hard to dress
properly in changeable weather. II
one dresses too warmly, one becomes
over-heated ,and chilling results with
the evaporation Of the perspiration. II
is better always to have ones under
wear and suits Of moderate thickness
only, so that the changes can then be
readily met and compensated for by
overcoats and wraps.
One should particularly at such
times avoid crowds. These affections
of the respiratory tract are spread by
minute particles of sputun which are
thrown out particularly during cough
ing and sneezing. If one has never
observed this, let him sneeze against

five houses.
The people here are very friendly.
This is a sheep country and that is
about all that can live on nothing.
There is sure some pretty alfalfa
here. 1t is raised on irrigated land.
All the water has to come out of deep
wells. 1t is as hard as can be made.
If the country here was as good
as the climate, it would be all 0. K.
There are a good many Mexicans and
half-breed Indians here. 1t is law
abiding country, they say. They
hardly ever have any trouble of any
kind. The country is full of automo-
biles, and there is a garage on every
corner. Very near here is one of the
two national highways and you can
see cars from parts Of the United
States.
Best wishes to all,
JOHN HOWARD,
