The Old Ladies
Home at Jackson

With generous liberality the Mon
roe County Board of Supervisors,
at its October meeting. appro-
priated 500 out of the county
funds to the support of the Old La
dies Home at Jackson. This in
stitutiOn is designed to provide
homes for many aged women
of the state who are worthy of be-
ing thus cared for when misfortune
Overtakes them in their declining
years and they are bereft of near
kindred. The law puts it in the
discretion of boards of supervisors
to make these appropriations for
the support of this institution, and
a charitable public will commend
the appropriation in every case
where it is made.
Elaborate additions are being
made to this home at this time, to
take care of more of these worthy
old ladies. and funds are sadly
needed to pay for them. Also. the
managers of the home purpose to
put on a drive for funds sometime
during next month, at which time
the public will be asked for contribu-
tions. The county homes. general.
ly, are not adequate for proper care
nor conducive to the happiness oil
cultured old ladies when reverses OF
fortune overtake them, and it is to
meet this feature of charitable ben
efcence that this Old Ladies' Home
at Jackson was established and that
funds are being solicited.

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent $1,200,000 for Relief of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions OF acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
lnces of Northern China. where mil
lions of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than 81, 100000,
81, 100000 of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested in the welfare of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible ii is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal OF
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call. November IL to "a
The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross In its opera
lions in China was particularly effec-
tive. for in addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands OF lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles of permanent
roads that are sOrely needed to pre-
vent recurrence OF famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese wOrkmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchurfa
and elsewhere.

A Bad Combination

When Fatty Arbuckle was dis.
covered" for the movies he was
cleaning cuspidors in a saloon. Al
the time of his arrest on a charge
of numbering Virginia Rappe, he
was a film star with more money
than he could spend.
But his money went to his head
and his head landed him in a muir
derer's cell.
Whether Arbuckle be guilty OF
innocent. the fact of the revolving
debauch remains and the debauch
brought on the death of a woman.
The time may come when a man
will achieve fortune without losing
his brains or his decency. as is too
often the case now.
But until that time does come.
public opinion should compel de-
cent and lawabiding line of con-
duct, even though the inclination is
not there.
Full pockets are not to be con-
demned, but full pockets and empty
heads are a menace.
We don't need the combination
in this country. -Yazoo City Senti-

Jefferson Davis

On a memorial park laid out
within the county of Todd, in Ken
lucky, the gray fragments of the
Confederate army will rally on June
3, 1922. to see unveiled the 175-
foot abelisk which is the last offer

fourteen years ago. was born the
Confederacy. for here was born tn }
man who for 25 years after it main
tanned implacably the doctrine OF
states rights, the principle of seces-
sion, the contention that the con-
stitution is a voluntary compact of
sovereign states. 1t is a mystery
of fate which brought two Ken
lucky lads of similar age, born 40
miles apart, to the forefront in the
most romantic of all wars. 1t was
a double mystery that one course
of life should lead Lincoln forward
as an apostle of nationalism and
another course of life made Davis
the champion of states rights. Yet
from early manhood Lincoln always
saw the Union above all. and from
early manhood Davis cherished the
state. He cherished it to the point
of sacrifice. When~his wounds and
gallantry in the Mexican war brought
him mn appointment from Presi-
dent Polk as brigadier-general of
volunteers, he refused. declaring
that only a state could make an Of
ficer of state volunteers. Wounds

A FURTHER DISCUSSION
OF DREADED DIPHTHERIA
Eighty Per Cent of Children Can
Be Made Immune

Since the publication of my re-
cent article on diphtheria, | have
1 had many inquiries as to the meth
cd of permanent immuniZation.
In fact. some parents have brought
their children to my Office asking
that they be given the immuniza-
ton at once. while many have ask
ed to be informed as to the pro-
cess, expense, etc. | have told all
such inquirers that it is a rather
slow process; requiring several
weeks, as it requires first that the
child be shick tested to see if it is
not naturally immune (some chill
dren are) and if it be found that the
child is not immune, several inOc-
culations at weekly intervals must
be given, and after these injections
of the toxine-antitoxine have been
given the child is again given the
shick test to see if complete immu-
nifty has been acquired. This pro-
cess is without danger, but is at
tended with some reaction just as
the administration of typhoid vac
cine or the ditphtheria anti-toxine
is. But if we can render a child
immune to this most horrible NAL
ady land we cam it is little short
of crime if it is not done.
In my previous article, l stated
that so per cent of children could
be rendered immune. Since then
it has been claimed by the health
commissioner of Chicago that he
has rendered 90 per cent of chill
dren immune. 1t would be great
Joy and satisfaction to a normally
intelligent parent to know that any
child had been rendered safe against
diphtneria or had been found to be
naturally immune. To make this
wonderful advance in medical
science worth while TO a commune |
ty, the work should. by all means,
be done in the schools. The ex-
pense would be so much lighter
when done en- masse, and then so
many parents would never take adj
vantage of the opportunity if they
had to carry the child to the doctor
or have the doctor to visit the home
to do it.
Why should the county not do
this for the children as well as fur
nish houses and heat and teachers?
What say you parents? This mat
ter has been brought home to us
this year as meyer before. since the
disease has been far more prevalent
than for many. many years. Not
less than one hundred cases have
been reported in Monroe county in
the last few months. and several
deaths have resulted. If this work
had been done last season and
these cases and deaths had been
prevented. do you not think it
would have been money we'll spent?
Do you not think these bereaved
parents would feel better and hap
pier? Do you not think the tax
PAYERS would feel that they had got
something for the small amount of
money spent? Mothers, assert your
selves! Club women, give your at
tention TO something worth whilel
Women voters. you are taxpayers;
do your dutyl Men. do not wait
for the women to shame you into
action. Show the stuff of which
you are madel
Yours for health and happiness,
progress and prosperity.
