thing known, without getting any re-
lief, this certainly is tribute to the
merits of Stella Vitae.
II have only taken two bottles so
far, but the results have already been
so remarkable that | am like diff
ferent woman in every way. Needless
to say, praise Stella Vitae where
ever l CO."
When such women as Mrs. Cole
come forward and makes such
straightforward statements regarding
Stella Vitae, there can no longer be
any doubt about the merit of the pre-
paration. And after so many sue
cessful tests of the treatment in over
coming the troubles peculiar to wo-
men as have been recorded in Missis-
sippi alone, it becomes the positive
duty of every woman who is weak,
rundown and suffering continual mis-
cry as result of Female Troubles to
begin taking the Stella Vitae treat
ment Immediately.
Health, strength, natural beauty
and joys of life are the splendidly
satisfactory results usual when
faithful trial is given this remarkable
preparation that has proven great
boon to womankind.
Note-Stella Vitae may be obtained
from any druggist and is sold upon
the positive guarantee that if benefit
is not received the purchase price will
be refunded. Druggists are supplied

The Stella Vitae Health Campaign
continues to increase in force as new
evidence of the powers of the treat
ment in overcoming Female Trou-
bles causes hundreds all over Missis-
sippi to join in the fight against the
diseases that are keeping women
weak, suffering and unhappy.
Letters that ring with words of sin
cerity from grateful women who have
been delivered from their miserable
sufferings through the Stella Vitae
treatment are being received daily in
large numbers. People in every sec
ton of the state are talking about
Stella Vitae and discussing their own
experiences or those of friends who
nave obtained wonderful relief from
Female Troubles after a course of
this preparation.
Another interesting and unusual
feature in connection with the Health
Drive is the fact that hundreds of peo-
pie are asking that their statements
be given to the public, in order that
suffering women may be induced to
obtain supply of Stella Vitae and
take advantage of this opportunity to
regain their own health, strength and
happiness.
Typical of these many letters is one
from Mrs. Robert Cole, of LeaHder,
Texas, who says:
"T want everybody to know how
much benefit / have received from
Stella Vitae treatment. 1t is without
question the best thing I have ever

Five Cases Dismissed.

Five of the defendant companies
penalized by Judge Stricken escaped
in the supreme court, the court being
unanimous in agreeing that the COM
panies which were not members of
the Southeastern Tariff Association
were not guilty. These companies are
Columbia National Fire, the Contin-
entail, St. Paul Fire & Marine, Union
Insurance Society of Canton and
Fidelity Phenix. The case was re-
versed as to these companies and the
bill dismissed.
While the total of penalties i'm
posed aggregates over S8,000,000, it
is conceded that the revenue agent
cannot collect more than he was able
to impoand under his garnishment
processes. This amounts to about ST.
100000.
Whether this decision will end the
matter remains to be seen, as there
was suggestion made by a promi-
nent insurance attorney Immediately
after it was known that the case would
be appealed to the federal court.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 13.-Dividing
three and three on the question of af-
firmance and reversal, the supreme
court today affirmed the big anti
trust fire insurance case. penalizing
some 50-odd companies for violating
the antitrust laws of Mississippi.
The victory Of the revenue agent was
complete as far as the decision goes,
and leaves the penalties imposed by
Chancellor Stricken unchanged
Justice Smith, Sykes and Anderson
held that the evidence was not suffi-
cient to convict the companies, and
were for reversal. Justices Ethridge,
holden and Cook held the evidence
sufficient to prove guilt, and were for
affirming. AS it would have required
q majority of the court to reverse the
chancellor, the degree as rendered in
that court stands.
On the question of penalties some
of the judges thought them too much,
and Judge Holden was of opinion
that the penalties should apply for
two years only and Justices Cook and
Ethridge for six years, but the court
was unanimous in agreeing that the
penalties were not SO excessive as to
violate the due process of law clauses
of the state and federal constitutions,

AN OPOLOGY.

The copy for each issue Of the Mis-
sissippian is mailed to Jackson, Miss,
to be printed. Unfortunately over
one half Of the material intended for
last issue was lost in the mail, hence
the inferiority of of the issue and
the necessity Of printing in this issue
a great deal of news intended for last
issue.-The Mississippian, 10th inst.
This is another and mighty good
reason why we should patronize
home institutions and home enter
prises. The inconveniences caused by
sending away for printing or anything
else which can be bought at home
sometimes knocks things out Of joint
as well as causes delay.

HARDING ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS
 UNDER TREATY {
WORK ON BATTLESHlPS DlSCON TINUED UNTIL NAVAL, TREATY
 IS RATIFIED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Presldent Harding today issued orders for the suspension of all work on war vessels now being built and which are destln' ed for the scrap heap under the terms of the Naval Treaty adopted at the Washington Conference. No final or der relative to the ships will be made until the treaty is ratified by the Uni ted States Senate.
 The President also sent instructions to Guam and the Philippines halting all work on the Notifications at those places.
 The President expressed the belief that the personnel of the army and navy would be reduced as a result of the disarmament conference agree ments but that such reductions would be of reasonable relativity. The Unit, ed States does not plan to go much be- yond the requirements of the treaties which were adopted at the Washing ton Conference unless other nations also show their good faith in the mat ter of cutting down armaments.
