Nutrition of Mother and Baby
The question of nutrition is of
such enormous importance in rela-

future well-being, it needs special EN-
phasis and thought.

tory state Of health are suitable nu

toward protecting one from infec.

A state of good nutrition is evidenc-
ed by normal size and development;
sound teeth n bones; hair and skin
of normal color n texture; blood
of normal composition, stable nerves

to disease, and altogether a state of

A VITAL FACTOR in Missis-
sippi progress and prosperity to-
day is he road modernization pro-
gram Of the Mississippi State
Highway Department.
A program for construction Of
modern highways in Mississippi,
which began in May of 1896, will
mean approximately one hundred
million hours of employment dis
tributed among thousands OF Mis-
sissippians and a labor payroll
which will approximate 100000
600, states Director E. d. Kenna
Of the State Highway Department.
These figures are based on the
records of the labor division of
the department showing that the
work hours on projects completed
in 1897, 1888 and 1889 total 50,-
0S3,9S3 work hours and a labor
payroll Of $19,176,947.17, and on
statistics that about 400 of the
highway construction dollar is ex-
pended on labor. They do not in

clude salaries paid to the head
quarters personnel Of the State
Highway Department.
The forty million dollars will
be distributed over every county
in the state. In addition, of
course, there are other large ex-
penditures in the various counties
for materials and supplies bought
locally, the policy of the State
Highway Commissioners being to
procure all the labor and mate
rails possible within the county
where construction takes place.
An insight into what this forty
million dollar labor payroll means
in stimulating Mississippi business
may be gained from the U. S. La
Dor Departments figures on the
average family's expenditures.
These figures indicate that this
payroll will be spent as follows:
$15,4S0,00 for food; $7,S00,000
for housing trent, construction,
repairs, improvements); $4,760,-

benefits accruing from this pay
roll, it has opened the state to
millions of tourists who now spend
millions of dollars within the
borders of the state. 1t is nor
closely linking widely separated
areas of the state by facilitating
traffic and transportation. 1t is
making automobile driving a re-
freshing and smooth riding pleas
ure. 1t is saving state motorists
an inestimable sum in reduced
wear and tear on their cars 1t
has caused a huge increase in Mis-
sissippi gasoline tax collections.
This evidences the widespread
benefits to Mississippians from
their program of constructing a
modern highway system that is
second to none in the nation. The
paving program is rapidly nearing
completion, but much work re-
mains to be done, and will be
done, as money is made available
to the State Highway Department
for this purpose.

The Foe Within

In orr battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done SO. Many Of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights In
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within
