Constipation effects directly
every organ in the body. due to
the fact that the liver does not
carry the bile out of the system,
thus putting an extra burden ON
the kidneys that overtaxes and
weakens them, filling the blood
with all manner of disease germs
that are carried through the veins
into every nook and corner of the
body. That is why any. remedy
that merely temporarily relieves
constipation is insufficient and
you become addicted to the con-
slant use of strong purgatives that
weaken and deplete the system.
In order to get permanent relief,
complete systemic treatment is
necessary.
This complete treatment is found
only i'll prescription called Re-
Gu Ma, which contains seventeen
well known and thoroughly tested
medicines, so skillfully compound
ed that each one performs its
function on the various parts of
the body perfectly and harmo-
niously.
This remarkable prescription
goes right to work on torpid
liver, Immediately cleanses the
colonies its accumulation of poison
GUS refuse which, according t,
Prof. Metchnikoff of the Pasteur
Institute Paris, is the direct eau sc
of all our aches and pains. In
addition, Re-Cu.Ma improves the
digestion, relieves the kidneys Of
their over-burden, puri6es the
blood stream and you are soon
aware of an absence of those dull
headaches. back pains, nervous
ness, dizziness, inertia and rheu-
matte pains-you feel full of vigo1
and pep, eat anything you like
without bad after effects and sleep
like log,

mended by J c. Jourdan, Iuka,

Visitors to the capital from south
west Mississippi tate that the board
of supervisors of Wilkinson County, at
the request of the late live stock
sanitary board is building fence
along the county line of Wilkinson
and Amite from Stephenson to Clos
ter. This fence is erected for the
purpose of keeping Amite cattle where
stock is not dipped regularly, from
crossing into the Wilkinson County
line, making it impossible to eradi
cate ticks in that county. 1t is un
derstood that ticks and dipping watts
will be live issue at the next SEES

JOHN MURPHY
ADMITS MURDER
OF OFFICIALS
One of Alleged Moonshiners
Tells How Two Men
Were Killed Near
Still.

Franklinton, La, March 9.-The
! Washington parish grand jury,
called in special session yesterday
by Judge Prentiss B. Carter of the
! district circuit court, was expected
to begin the taking of testimony
I today in its investigation into the
Staying of Robert Wesley Grain and
Wiley Pierce, deputy sheriffs, whose
bodies were found early Wednesday
morning buried in the muddy
Swamp of Betsy creek eight miles
east of here.
Fifty witnesses nave been sum-
moned to appear before the inves-
tigators and many more are ex-
pected to be called.
John Murphy, confessed slayer OF
the two officers, in new confess
sion to the authorities, admitted
that he shot them to death last Sat
urday as they raided a moonshine
still of which he was part owner.
Murphy said he offered Pierce
cup of the moonshine whiskey
which was being made when the
officers appeared, and as the depu--
ty started to drink it he whipped
out his pistol and shot him, caus-
ing him to fall. Turning quickly,
he said, he shot Grain twice kill
ing him instantly. He then fired
three more bullets into Pierce's
PROSTATE body.
Mack and Jap Little, father and
son, and Frank Carter, three OF
the sixteen men held in connection
with the case, were questioned
closely by District Attorney J. Vol
Brock and other officials late last
night and are said to have obtain
ed confession from them that
Murphy and Gideon Roster, who
has stated he was with Murphy at
the time of the killing, had told
them of the double Staying shortly
after it occurred. 1t is believed by
the authorities that these three
men will be indicted as accessories.
Roster confessed that he was
operating the still with Murphy
and helped to bury the bodies OF
the deputies in the slime of the
swamp, placing the carcass of a
COW over the makeshift grave OF
one of the victims and log over
that of the other.
G. w. Roster, father Of Gideon,
and generally known as General
Roster, who had been sought since
the disappearance of the deputies,
was arrested late yesterday. His
brother, John Roster, was also TAX
en- into custody.

FRENCH TAKE
TROOPS OUT
OF DORTMUND
City Is Searched and 270 Of
Security Force Members
Arrested and Expelled
From District.

Essen, March o. The French
troops have again been withdrawn
from Dortmund, which was occu-
pied yesterday for the purpose of
rounding up all the members of the
disbanded security police still at
large. The city was searched by
the French and 270 of the security
force members were arrested and
expelled from the district with a
warning not to return.
This move was part of the Fran
co-Belgian program to rid the Ruhr
of some ten thousand security po-
lice who have been constant
source of annoyance to the occupy
ing forces, doing espionage work,
spreading propaganda and other
wise hindering the French authori-
ties.
At Recklinghausen, Dr.. Eisen-
rath has been arrested by the
French military. He is president OF
the municipal police and had acted
as such in the daytime, but by
night had assumed various other
roles, the French assert, to facili-
tate his work as the agitator among
the labor element When arrested
he had Identification cards, it IS
stated, and the French intelligence
service reported it had found he
had three houses in various dis
tricts, taken under different names.
In his pocket was discovered a set
of false whiskers.
Fourteen persons, accused OF va
rious offenses against the occupy
ing forces at Crefeld, have been
sentenced by Belgian courtmar-
tial to jail terms of from three to
six months each. Six of the prison
ers were newspaper editors accus-
ed of spreading agitation. The 9th
ers were customs officials and trade
union leaders who had disobeyed
the orders of the occupying author
tiles.
Dr.. Schweibel, member of the
international Saare boundary COM
mission, residing in the district OF
Meisenheim, has been coutrmar-
tailed by the French and sentenced
to five years Imprisonment and a
fine of 100000 marks. He prob
ably will be sent to Metz or some
other point outside the occupied
area to serve his term and his fam
lily will be expelled from the terri
tory.
Sabotage along the railroad and
the telegraph and telephone lines is
continuing.
