NEW STATE CHARITY
 HOSPITAL PROBABLE

Meridian, Miss, November 14-The city council and the board of super visors are about to get together with an understanding that may mean the early building of an entirely new and modern Matty Hersee state charity hospital to take the place of the old and inadequate one now but poorly answering the demand on it for this part of the state. It is proposed that the board of supervisors appropriate sS0,00o and the city s60.000 or $75.- 900. to build and equip the hospital to be maintained with an appropria- ton made by the state legislature. This plan Is expected to meet with the approval of the people of the city and county If 1t Is put before them and thus settle long standing con troversy as to how best to secure hospital that will meet all demands for many years to come. Some defi- mite action regarding the matter will probably be taken during the present November meeting of the supervis- ors, Mayor John W. Parker, having already appeared before the body in a conference favorable to the proposal.

 Given Below

Pardon me for taking up this time, but I want to tell you what I did with L-v in my little home town" says Mrs. Sallie Martin, 133 North Spring street, Louisville. Ky, in a recent letter.
 My uncle had cough and tried everything, but nothing did him any good. My husband was going to see him so I sent him a few doses of L-v and he said from the first dose he knew it would help him. When he had finished the medicine I sent him he asked his druggist for a bot tie. The druggist didn't have 1t. but ordered it at once. and in three weeks time 10 others were taking it. My uncle says it's worth. it's weight in gold and that he'll not be without it again. He will certainly recommend 1t to any one suffering with a cough or any kind of bron- chial trouble.
 .Jusi the other day I received letter from a lady fin Frankfort. Ky. asking me about L-V for asthma. was glad to recommend 1t to her. for it has sure helped dear friend of mine who was suffering from asth- ma"
 Most good druggists handle L-v. maybe yours does-ask him.--Adv.

WOULD COST J. 5. HALF BILLION ID
 SCRAP PROGRAMME
Difference Between Cost of Scrapping and Completion of Naval Programme Is
 200 Millions
By Associated Press

washington, November 14.-Actual cost to the United States of tho scrappiNg of the naval building pro- gramme. naval officials estimated to- day. would be between $4o0, 1000, 900 and s5oo,ooo,oOO exclusive of any salvage plan that might reduce this total Inf his statement to the com ference on limitation of armament Saturday, presenting the American proposal. Secretary Hughes said the work already done had cost $330, ,000,- GOO. but these figures do not Include costs incident to abandonment of the ships under construction,
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said today that the American programme would save the government about $20o, ,000,0 900 in naval expenditures These figures Is the difference be- tween the total cost of completion of the ships, about SO0.00O, ,OO0, and what scrapping them all would cost. Included In the sc-appingi costs are allowances for reimbursement of contractors for work they have been compelled to do In their yards in preparation for the huge craft to be built,
 Not to Stop Work
 There Is no intention on the part of the government to stop work on the new ships until an agreement actually is reached by the confer ence and ratified by the government involved.
 That was made plain today Con struction on the great majority of the vessels Is proceeding very slow ly, however, the division of available building funds averaging about s2,000, 900 year per capital ship in- volved. The only ships upon which work has been brought to complete standstill, pending developments in Washington, are the two at New York navy yard. Stoppage there, 1t was said, does not involve probabil- ity of damage suits for breach Of contract.
 In any case. it was added expendi- turcs now in progress on ships that may within a few weeks, perhaps days. be ordered scrapped are of such a nature that they could not be saved in any case. The bulk of the S2,00o, 900 a year for each ship Is for materials ordered and which would have to be paid for in any case. Only in one or two cases is there a large labor force at work on actual building of the ships.
 Would Close Plants
 One phase of the programme naval officers have been struck with is the probable effect on the three great shipbuilding plants doing most of the new ship construction for the gov ernment. Those plants, 1t was said today. were engaged almost entirely on government work and on those ships which would be scrapped under the plan. All three, it was predicted.
