PRETTY SOFT FOR WOMEN.

"Yes," answered Brown, upon be-
ing questioned, ELIZA, the wife, is
sick. Don't know jest what's alin'
her. She got up this morning and
got breakfast for me and the hands
at five, and then she did some washin'
and bakin' and churnin' and little
cleanin' besides diggin' some taters

The Water Valley and Greanda
football teams fought each other to a
standstill on the Grenada field on
last Friday. The game was hard
fought throughout and each team
showed the results of hard and con-
sistent work.
Grenada started off with a rush
and carried the ball well into Water
Valleys territory before they had
to surrender the ball. In the shadow
of their own goal Water Valley tight
ened and took the ball and punted
out of danger. Grenada threatened
again in the last half when a beauti-
full forwerd pass was completed for
forty yards-Water Valleys strength
seemed to lie chiefly in the line plays;
Williamson and Shine smashing
through for consistent gains. Gre
NADIA seemed to show her greatest
strength in her wide, sweeping and
end duns and well-executed forward
passes. The game ended with the
ball in the middle of the field in Gre
nada's possession. These two teams
win play nj Water Valley next month
in order to determine the winner.
Lots of enthusiasm was exhibited
over the game; Grenada had well
organized cheering section, and Water
Valley sent down a very respectable
crowd to hold up their end of the
roofing. Miss Jennie Hill proved
very able cheer leader and helped to
instill pep and courage in tn eteam
by her untiring efforts in leading the
cheers,

PREVENTATIVE FOR
DEADLY DIPHTHERIA

The diphtheria season is beginning
and it is very necessary that we use
every possible means of checking the
spread of this disease during the COM
ing season. This can be done by
cooperation between the physicians,
health officers, school authorities, and
the parents of the State. 1t is
gratifying to state that the disease
was decreased during last year in
both cases and deaths for the first
time in six years.
If the county health officers are ac-
tive and the people become sufficiently
interested in protecting their children
against this disease, it will continue
to decrease during the coming season.
Any child that is allowed to 60 to
school with sore throat, or any child
that has a sore throat, should be
watched. 1t may be the beginning of
a case of diphtheria and it may be
wise for the parent to keep the child
at home under observation until it
is relieved, 1t should be stated that
mild cases of diphtheria may simply
cause sore throat, but these cases
are just as dangerous as the more
severe cases in spreading the disease.
When it is known that diphtheria
can be prevented by the use Of toxin
antitoxin, 1t would seem that the par
ents of Mississippi would avail them
selves Of this safe and certain preven-
tive measure. Every child in Missis-
sippi from six months to six years of
age, should be given toxin-antitoxin
without making Schick's test. Per-
haps more than sixty per cent Of the
children in this group are susceptible
to diphtheria and therefore it is the
part of wisdom to give the toxin-anti-
toxin to children of this age as rou-
tine procedure. There Is practi-
cally no reaction among children Of
this age, TO the toxin-antitoxin.

as handsome cash premiums are being

Children from seven to ten years
of age could also be given the toxin
antitoxin with propriety without be-
ing given Schick's test, though it may
be looked upon as more scientific to
apply Schick's test to this group. A
relatively small percentage of chill
dren from seven to ten years of age
show any reaction to toxin-antitoxin
and from this standpoint, it is
scarcely sufficient reason for ap-
plying Schick's test to determine
susceptibility. 1t is however true
that a smaller percentage of children
are naturally susceptible to diphtheria
in this group than the ones from six
r ronths to six years of age.
The children from ten years to eigh-
teen years of age are much less sus-
ceptible to diphtheria, possibly not
more than fifteen to twenty per cent
would be likely to have diphtheria,
but probably fifteen to twenty per
cent of the children in this group
would have reaction, that Is rise of
temperature, aching and a general
sense Of discomfort. Even though
this reaction occurs, there Is no dan
ger IN administering toxin-antitoxin
to TIE child. This is discomfort,
hut diphtheria may cause serious
Illness and possibly death,
A few schools in Mississippi have
given toxin-antitoxin to all of the
children without giving Schick's test.
The important point to emphasize
is that all children between six
months and six years of age should
take toxin-antitoxin as matter Of
routine.
1t is hoped that the physicians Of
the State win encourage mothers to
have children immunized against
diphtheria. The school authorities
should be vigilant in looking after the
children in the event Of SUSPICIOUS
case and see that the proper preven-
tive measures are instituted in check
ing the spread Of diphtheria.

BEAUTY YIELDS TO ART
May McAvoy and Lois Wilson
Conceal Ages in "Only 38"

Two beautiful women forsake
charms of youth for the sake of art
in William-de Miles Paramount pro-
duction of "Only 49," which will be
on view at the Grasd Theatre next
Thursday,
Lois Wilson is the first. She makes
up in the early part of "Only 38" to
appear as a widow of thirty-eight
years whose hope of romance and hap
piness has flown.
May McAvoy Is the second. Miss
McAvoy has appeared often as a deli
cate little thing and has been the CEN
ter of many touching screen roman
ces. But in "Only 3S" she slicks her
hair back severely, ties it with rib
bon, makes use of eye glasses and
dresses in prim school dress-a
studious girl Of sixteen years.
Zone would think that two women
as pretty as Mrs. Wilson and Miss
McAvoy would dislike Disgusting
beauty," said a visitor to Director
de Mile.
''Not at ALL" replied the Paramount
producer. "Both of them have char
acterizations as big as any Of their
entire careers. Then, too, there are
so many beautiful women who rely on
beauty alone. Miss Wilson and Miss
McAvoy do not"

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 2.-The
people of Oklahoma today gave a
mandate to their legislature to as
semble and review the official acts of
Gov. J. C. Walton.
The courts will probably be re-
quired to pass upon the legality of
the order, but the citizens of the
safe, ignoring the decree of the ex-
ecutive postponing the election, test
ed his threat to use force of arms
to stay their suffrage at the polls
in decisive manner.
Every return from the polls bore
out the unofficial indications that

peachment session without the call
of the governor would be carried by
a substantial majority.

official returns was voting more
than to l to open the way for the
legislature to consider his record.
The first so precincts in the city
returned $3.50 votes for the amend
ment and 1868 against.
Only one precinct in the state had
returned a majority against the
measure at 8 o'clock. That was at
McAllester in coal mining dis
trict.
