Grenada Condemns
Wilson'S Action

Grenada, Miss, March ia
mass meeting was held here this aft
ernoon to discuss the recent raise in
rates by the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company. Conservative
speech prevailed Strong resolutions
were adopted without a dissenting
voice protesting against the rate in
crease which was characterized as
"unjustified and unwarranted and as
being granted by the railroad commits
sion either through ignorance, or want
of knowledge, or with minds which
were not open when the commission
ers undertook to hear the issue in
open court"
The state attorney general was
urged to "use all the powers of his
office and to leave no court untried"
to prevent the enforcement of the
railroad commissions order. The ac-
ton of Commissioner Morgan Of the
southern district in dissenting from
the action of the other two commits
sioners was commended and the fol-
lowing was adopted relative to Com
missioner W. B. Wilson, of this dis
trict:
eve respectfully say to the railroad
commissioner from this district, Hon.
W. B. Wilson, that we believe his
usefulness as public official is end
ed and that we urge upon him the
wisdom of his rendering his resigna-
ton at once, so that the issue which
the Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has raisedican be put
squarely before the electorate of the
district-those who must pay the
bills"
The resolutions state that "it takes
more than one party to make an
agreeable and satisfactory contract"
and ask the municipal authorities of
the city of Grenada not to renew the
franchise Of the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company, which has only re-
Gently expired by limitation, unless
rates for the city of Grenada are abso-
lutely in harmony with these resolu-
tons" 1t is apparent that Grenada
does not want boycott, except as
last resort.

EPWORTH LEAGUE

In the olden days the young folks
of the First Methodist Church had a
flourishing Epworth League Chapter

LUNGS SHOULD BE USED
AS A WHOLE AND NOT
in PART.
HAVE GOOD HEALTH
Doctor Horner Gives Good Adj
vice On Proper Use of Or
gans of Respiration
Worth Following.
(By DR.. Horner.)

Do YOU use every part Of your lungs
each time you breathe?
Most of us never stop to think how
we breathe, or why. If we gave half
as much time to filling our lungs as
we do to filling our stomaehs there
would be fewer pulmonary troubles.
A lung in which every tiny air cell is
filled with fresh, clean air every time
you breathe, has no place to harbor
disease germs or stagnant air.
Proper breathing is habit easily
acquired, if you only devote little
time to it. A few minutes spent in
simple exercises before an open win
dow, night and morning, will soon de-
velop proper breathing. Before tax
ing in any breath, expel all the air you
can from your lungs. Stand with the
chest we'll forward, exhale through the
nose all the air YOU can possibly throw
out, then breathe in naturally. When
the lungs are full of fresh air, ex-
hale again, doing this, exhaling and
inhaling ten to twenty tiMes. This
simple exercise in the morning will
start you properly for the days
breathing. Try it,
You, yourself, are your best friend
or your worst enemy. Nature gives
you the option. tits up to YOU to
make your life healthy, happy one,
or the opposite.
In examining the girls, especially
in the Lee High school, about so per
cent of them were found who, al
though they had no actual lung dis
ease, were breathing very poorly, us
ing the upper part of their lungs very
little. Part Of this, | believe, is due
to the so called "debutante slouch,'
fashinable not long ago. This per-
nicious habit not only mars the beauty
of growing girls by tending to form
hollows above their clavieles, but rem
ders them more susceptible to tuber-
culosis, for one of the favorite rest
ing places of tubercle bacillus is the
upper lobe of lung.
One interesting fact about these
poor breathers was that they were
girls who for some reason or other
were not taking the gymnasium work
offered at the High School. Even be-
fore questioning the girls, those who
take gym" could be picked
out by the way they used every part of
their lungs.
Since many of these girls cannot,
because of some other physical trou-
Bile, take the more strenuous exer-
cises, why can't class in deep
breathing be organized for them? If
you are interested, talk it over with
Prof. Meadows, for he is very anxious
to help in every possible way.

is making an effort to increase the
number to forty or fifty. "The more,
the merrier," and the greater the num-
erical strength of the delegation, the
greater will be the advertising CO.
lumbus will receive.
Large cloth banners will be provid-
ed for the trip. These will be used
on the sides of the railway coaches,
on the boat, and in the hotels where
the delegation stops. The banners
will bear the words, Columbus and
Lowndes County Chamber of Com
merce, Columbus, Mississippi" The
members of the delegation will also
wear booster buttons of liberal pro-
portions, which will further advertise
our city.
Following are the names of the
thirty gentlemen who had signified
their intention of making the trip at

ton il the same can be ascertained.
In the interim, if you haven't call
ed for your booster button you can do
so today And if you can induce 9TH

representation would be good If
only one man went from Columbus,
but it should be both good and large.
