State Health Ottiess
Says

Mississippi is producing more
meat than ever before, and at the
same time is developing more IA
cilities for the proper handling and
processing of meat So said DR..
N. M Parker, milk and meat SUI
pervisor for the State Board of
Health, discussing native-gro and
/ locally slaughtered meats as a sup
ply for home consumption.
Commenting on the rapid strides
made in beef cattle raising in Mis-
sissippi during the past two years,
DR.. PARKER predicted that more and
more native meats will be consumed
within the state in the future
with the help of wartime regula-
ton over the slaughter and hand
ling of meats" he continued, I'VE
have accomplished more toward
maintaining standard of safety
and quality than would have been
possible in a like period in normal
| times"
Explaining that wartime control
of slaughter and distribution of
meat is administered through local
meat committees of the War Pro
duction Board, DR.. Parker said
that, by close cooperation of local
health and governing officials with
this committee, diseased meats,
meat slaughtered under insanitary
conditions, and meat not properly
cared for until it reaches the con-
sumer, should be practically elm
mated.
Under Order No. 81 issued by
the Food Distribution Administra-
tion," said DR.. Parker, commercial
slaughterers cannot operate without
a permit. One of the requisites for
this permit is compliance with SAN
itary requirements of the State
Board of Health"
Stating that a reasonable extern
sion period was given slaughterers
to meet these sanitary regulations.
the sanitarian said that a number
of new slaughter houses had been
built and that others were under
construction.
Already the consumer is get
ting a cleaner, safer supply of To-
cally slaughtered meat" said he.
The expansion of this industry un-
der sanitary conditions should ex-
tend beyond the war period, and
become permanent economic and
public health benefit to the state. .
Never before has so much over
time been demanded of our feet.
Tired. aching feet are hindrance
to the busy productive lives re-
quired for wartime living.
To give our soldiers their steady,
tireless marching step, Uncle Sam
had to correct many errors of CT
william life. We, too, can fall into
step by giving little attention to
our Woodworking and much abused
members.

An Unsung Song.

A tyrant would destroy that hope
that springs eternal within our
breast;
Which we nurture with the free
dom and liberty we possess.
That his scheme is conceived in
iniquity and born of the devil;
Is easy to see as he continues in
his revel.
He cares nothing for what God or
man may say;
AS he emerges from dreamland for
his lay.
He would have all to pay tribute
to him alone;
AS he issued his edicts beneath a
guided dome.
To him he would have every knee
bow and every tongue confess;
But afterwards always finds justice
exacts full redress.
1t is as natural for Christians to
get in such fight;
AS feather to be waited down.
ward from an eagle in its flight.
A tyrant needs to hear the voice
that caused the blind to see:
And stilled the roaring waves at
Galilee.
He entices victims as a spider does
its prey;
And binds them tighter and tighter
each day.
He never holds the victims he tries
to bind;
But is always driven back within
his own confines.
God accepts us all in our plastic
form;
But to His immutable law all must
conform.
One may commit pillage and car
mage but is never calm and Sc
rene;
Gods power and love have always
reiened sllnreme
Every one must do his best as did
our fathers of yore;
Let all know we are sound to the
core.
A despot is like whistling woman
and a Growing hen;
Is good for neither God nor men.
He trusts nobody as his comrades
all well know;
And is good only in the regions
far below.
The tissue of life to be he weaves
of colors all his own;
In the field of destiny he reaps as
he has sown.
If we are victorious we must shut
our mouths and open our purse;
0 Godl help us, just and lasting
peace we will bring;

100000 Soldier Letters Sent
From Europe in Six Months
Job Done Chiefly by the V-MoiI Method;
Delivery in Five Doys Is Expected Soon

The originals of the letters, on
which consecutive numbers have
been stamped. are kept in storage
here until word is received that the
packet containing such and such a
sequence Of numbers has been re-
ceived in New York. If, for any
reason, it should not be received in
reasonable time every letter would
be rephotographed and sent again.
The system is practically foolproof,
so far as the possibility of losing let
ters is concerned.
Turned Back to Pulp.
Once word of receipt in the United
States has been received the let
tiers are put into a shredding ma
chine, with the same provisions for
secrecy as would be used if they
were highly important secret docu-
ments to be destroyed, and then
pulped. From the pulp more v-mail

The four-page form has all the
appeal to the eye OF Federal
income tax return. The questions
asked are wide in scope and the
space provided for answers is not
always adequate. 1t is a fearful
and wonderful document. There
is a section devoted to listing live
stock, for instance. The owner
must list separately and give num-
ber and cash value of Mules, one
year or over; Horses. one year or
over; Neat cattle (milch cows, year.
lings, bulls, steers, heifers and 9TH
er neat cattle) one year or over
Swine. six months or over; Sheep,
six months or over; All other, Fox,
Mink, Fish, &c"
Now the mules, horses and neat
cattle in the barns or pasture may
stand to be counted but that part
about the fox, mink, fish, &c, is
battling. Does this refer to wild
animals and free fish in the brooks,
or ferae naturne as Blackstone has
1t? There is nothing on the tax
form to solve the riddle. Think of
trying to count the fish in a brook
or of sitting up nights in the
woods to try to get an accurate CEN
sus of the mink and fox population
