Peace Plan Ideals OF Allied
Nations Will Make Valuable
War Weapon, Hurt Declares
Delivers Armistice Address
At Rotary Club. Miss
Dickson Sings

1t is vitality important that the
United States and the Allies hold
up to the world ''our peace plan
ideals, as embodied in the At
lantic Charter, Prof. A. B. Hurt
told members of the Jeffersons
Rotary club in an Armistice ad-
dress last Thursday night.
The knowledge of these ideals
throughout the world now will be
an effective weapon in winning
the war, he said.
because of our isolationist at
titude, we lost the peace after the
last war and this time we have
got to win it to prevent future
war;" he explained.
To-day the entire world is COM
paratively one small community,
especially when it comes to a
matter of news and transporta-
ton. What affects ore nation
now sooner or later affects all ma
tons"
eve must have a peace that
will lift the worlds standard of
living. It must provide economic
freedom, political freedom and
religious freedom, too," he said.
after the last war we failed
by not preventing Germany from
re-arming, by helping Japan, by
sinking many of our own ships
and by scrapping our air force.
We wanted to forget the horrors
of war and so we were not pre-
pared to fight when this war was
thrust upon us.
II am happy that we are now
prepared to take the offense and
that we are on the road to vic
tory"
He praised the valor that is be-
! ing shown by the men in service
today and declared that in his O.
pinion it was not excelled even by
the Spartans.
'"This is the first time that we
have celebrated an Armistice
Day when our nation was engag.
| ed in war, and I think we should
look upon the Armistice as an in
spiration."

drinks were sold under trade names
containing the word "Cola' or "Kola'
He said further "the generic charac-
ter of the word cola as applied to
soft drinks has been recognized by
the courts in mere cases."
"The existence of the typo of
drinks, known as cola drinks, has
been recognized in various United
States Government publications. Die
tionaries define the word cola as be-
ing a type or class of beverages"
"Prior repeated acts, and even
admissions, by the Coca-Cola Com
pany are wholly inconsistent with
its present position that it alone
can use the word cola.
"Since the complainant company
(Coca-Cola) never had the exclusive
right to the use of the word cola
alone, no question relating to the
abandonment of rights is involved"
The court ruled further when

known as the Central Miss. Poultry

in going into egg production in a

Coca Cola Complaint
Against Nehi Dismissed

WILMINGTON, Del.,--In a far
reaching decision just handed down
by Chancellor William Watson Har-
rington in the Court of Chancery,
State of Delaware, the complaint of
the Coca-Cola Company against Neii
Corporation, makers Of Royal Crown

Coca-Cola sought TO stop Nehi
from using the name Royal Crowa

ing the word cola" in a name under
which Nehi's products are sold; they
claimed unfair competition and asked
for damages.
Nehi Corporation contended that
the use Of the word cola does not
infringe any right Of any producer
of soft drinks; that cola" is a
generic word TO which no manu-.
facturer has an exclusive right and
that il is as unrestricted as any 9th,
er generic word, such as chocolate.
root beer, ginger ale, etc.
In his opinion, Chancellor Har.
rington jointed out that "the rea.
question is whether the word cola
used by the complainant compan!
in its trade name is a wholly arti,
fieial word, or whether it has SONS
descriptive significance. The evi-
dence seems to justify the latte,
conclusion"
He states further The evidence
aIso iustifies the conclusion that the
word cola has now become the

Cancer is the fifth columnist Of

Cancer is the fifth columnist Of
disease. 1t is not Catching; it is
not due to a germ. It is simply q
sudden uncontrolled growth of body
cells. No one knows what causes it,
but it can happen to any part OF
the body, and to men, women, and
children. It is a leading cause of
death and is increasing year by
year. In 1910, 1442 people in Mis-
sissippi died of this disease.
Cancer is preventable to a large
extent. Chronic irritation and in
f1ammation are believed to be q
contributing cause of many cases.
These health rules will help avoid
the danger of cancer:
/. Keep the mouth, tongue and
throat clean.
2. Keep the teeth clean and free
from cavities and jagged edges that
chafe the tongue or cheek.
8. Avoid excessive s Of TO-
bacco, especially if it initiates or
burns the tongue, cheek or lip.
4. Avoid the use Of food or
drink that irritates the stomach or
that causes irregularity in action
of the bowels.
5. Keep the skin clean.
6. Have a regular physical ex-
animation by q recognized physician
81 least once a year.
Z. Women over thirty-five should
have an examination of breast and
pelvic areas semi-annually.
