AND SON
BANQUET A SUCCESS

The Father and Son banquet
given at the Darnall Hotel Fri
day might under the auspices OF
the local organization of the Hi-Y
Club, was a great success, and will
no doubt lead to other similar oc
casions. The banquet table was
specially decorated for the occa-
sion, and presented most beauti-
full scene. Mr.. Broom acted as
Westminster, and happily stated
the object and purpose of the
meeting. Joseph Barnes, repre-
senting the sons, responded first
in a. praisworthy speech on the
subject of "The kind of Dad a boy
Likes to Have, His subject was
we'll presented, and stamps him as
one of our coming young orators.
Next Mr.. A. M. Shields, represent
ing the Fathers, discussed the sub
ject of "The kind of Son Father
Likes to Have" Mr.. Shields pre-
sentation of the subject showed
much thought and deserved the
hearty applause that it received.
The main feature of the evening,
however, was the mastery speech
of Hon. J. w. Broom, of Jackson,
on the subject Proper Cooper
alton Between Father and Son..
Mr.. Broom is an orator or rare
ability and on this occasion he did
himself honor His words of advice
and counsel fell upon responsive
hearts, and is bound to result in a
better understanding between
father and son. The News desires
in behalf of the father and sons
to give special thanks to Mrs.
Daisy Graham for the splendid
banquet she prepared, and the
easy and delightful manner in
which it was served. The Darnall
Hotel has state wide reputation
for giving the best menu in the
country, and upon this occasion
it fully sustained it's good name.
Those seated at the banquet table
were: A. M. Shields and son, Ar

HEALTH IN THE SCHOOLS.

A nation wide campaign to
teach health rules to the 25,000,-
600 children in the country
through the medium of the public
schools is urged by the United
States bureau of education. The
plan of the campaign is outlined
in a government phamphlet on
Suggestions for health teaching
in the elementary schools" which
is now being distributed broad
cast.
The goal is to make health in
struction as fundamental part of
the child's education as are read
ing and arithmetic, and thus to
make i'll health as rare as litter
acy.
The bureau claims that out of
the 25,000,000 children in the
country, not fewer than 100000
are suffering from physical de-
fects which might be prevented or
corrected.
If this is true, and such state

For Him

"Tanlac has been such Won
derful help to me during the last

to relate my experience for what
it may be worth to others, "said
Paul Snodgrass, 229 West Capital
ST., Little Rock, Ark, who has
been in the fancy grocery business
for the past thirty years.
''When Tanlac was first intro
duced in Little Rock, I was in an
awful rundown and weak condi-
tion but the medicine fixed me up
in almost no time. At that time |
had no appetite and what little |
did eat seemed to do me more
harm than good, for it just would
not digest properly and caused
me no end of trouble. | could
scarcely sleep and always felt so
tired and worn out | couldn't half
way attend to my business.
"In little while after | started
on Tanlac I could eat just any
thing | wanted and was soon back
to my normal health and strength
again. Since then I've kept Tanlac
on hand and always take little
when | feel the least bit out of
sorts. 1t fixed me up fine after |
had the flu and then recently
I've been taking it to build me UP
and have actually gained four
teen pounds in weight. L believe
Tanlac is the best medicine in the
world"

DIPHTHERIA

Reports from the County Health
. officers of the State indicate that
there is a great need for every pre-
caution to be taken relative to the
prevention and control of diph-
liberia. This disease is on the in
crease in Mississippi and it is urg-
ed that all health officers of the
State give prompt and aggressive
attention to this particular dis
ease during the next several
months.
There is no reason why we
should not prevent and in time
suppress disease like diphtheria
when we have a specific for it's
prevention and also for it's cure.
1t is the concensus of opinion of
the medical profession that If
diphtheria antitoxin is given early
in the course of the disease and
in sufficient quantity practically
every case is cured. Then in event
diphtheria occurs in "a family or
school, if the throats of the partl-
cular group of children are swab-
bed for the purpose OF finding
carrier cases, and in addition
Schick's test is given to find out
those who are susceptible, the
spread of the disease can
be absolutely prevented. If
child is found to be susceptl-
BILE after giving Schick's test, tox-
-antitoxin should be admins
tered Immediately. This toxin-an-
titoxin has been given to thou
sands of children in the New
York City schools during the past
few years and no case of diphthe-
ria has occurred among those who
have been given this preventive
treatment. 1t may be stated that
the administration of toxin-antl-
toxin is not dangerous, although
there is some reaction, but it is OF
no consequence in considering
the protection of the health and
life of the child from a dangerous
and oftentimes fatal disease like
diphtheria.
1t is urged by the State Board
j of Health authorities that special
attention be given to an intensive
campaign against diphtheria du-
ring this and the next few years.
DIR. May Jones will give the
Schick's test to all children whose
parents are interested in having
thm examined and given the ser
UNI. DR.. Jones will explain the test
at Johnson Hall Friday afternoon
at the Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion.

EXPECT SOMETHING BUT NOT
TOO MUCH.

President Harding reiterates
that it is inopportune to talk OF
complete disarmament. His object
is, unquestionally, to spare the
public some disappointment. He
does not wish them to expect too
much from the forthcoming con-
ference. In taking this position he
is right.
There are three substantial rea-
sons why complete disarmament IS
impossible. First, there are por-
tents of strife in the Balkans,
where the great war started. Sec
ond, affairs are still unsettled all
over the world. And third, the
world-powers distrust one another
and a few Of them probably would
not scruple at making the most of
a profitable situation.
President Harding might go a
little farther, and still be reli-
able prophet. 1t is more than like
ly that there will be no agreement
for any disarmament, or for but
slight disarmament. However,
much progress will be made if a
rational and solid agreement for
limitation of armament is reached.
Nevertheless, it is advisable for
advocates of peace to keep up
their propaganda for complete
disarmament. If much is demand
ed, a better compromise may be
effected.
Complete disarmament could
not be brought about suddenly.
The nations are used to carrying
guns, and they, like individuals
who imagine they are unsafe un-

| By special request, Mr.. Shields
permits us to give below synop
sis of his remarks:
Friends; We have met here to-
might for a splendid purpose; WI
fathers want to know more abouf
our boys, and you boys want tc
know your father better.
My duty tonight, is to very
briefly say to you boys, The kline
of son we fathers would like te
have.
| am not going to preach
you fellows sermon, but
l am going to tell you
what we want more than any other
thing, that each one of you build
your house on the only sure foun-
dation known ;the "Rock of Ages.
We want our sons to be real
honest-to-goodness, manly fel-
lows. We don't want you to be
sentimental sissie's," neither do
we want you to be rough bullles
we want you to be able to control
your own selves, and yet, we want
you to submit to every rightful
authority. We want you to do this
like good soldiers; not to question
the commands of your superior
officer. We want our sons to be
brave, so brave that rather than
take advantage of one weaker than
themselves, they may be willing
to suffer sighting remarks from
thoughtless companions; so brave
that, although every boy In his
crowd does something wrong, and
taunts him with being coward,
for not doing as they do. We want
our sons to be brave enough to
stand firm, for this is what shows
the real "sand in your craw."
We want you to treat every per-
son with kindness, even the poor
'est negro, or the most trifling
white person. This will prove your
right to- be called a gentleman.
We want you to love animals;
we want you to love nature; we
want you to tell the truth to your
own hurt and stick to it; we want
you to reverence womanhood, next
to your reverence to God; we want
you boys to make it a rule Of your
life, never say am ugly thing in
the presence. Of girl or woman,
never listen to any other boy say
a thing Of this kind; we want you
to have clean hearts and clean
minds"
We want our boys to make us
their chums; we want to be your
best friend, and we want you to
be our best friend.
We want you to- make the best
grades in your classes in school.
We want you to run the fastest,
jump the farthest, throw a ball
the straightest, catch ball no
other boy can catch, cut more
wood, draw more wafer, split
more kindling, bring in more coal,
kill more weeds, shout the loudest,
laugh the heartiest, smile the
most, eat more cake, and have the
biggest and happiest time gener-
ally Of any boy in Brandon.
