Malaria Control
Program Needed

Even if your food is well seasoned,
say "Please pass the salt" these hot
summer days if you want to add to
your comfort and at the same time pro-
tect your health.
In extremely hot weather the body
must work overtime producing p~rofuse
perspiration to keep body temperature
normal. Such perspiration cools the
body but at the same time removes
large mounts of salt from the tissues.
This loss of salt is the chief cause of
heat exhaustion.
To help prevent i'll effects from heat,
increase your daily salt intake. Sprinkle
more on your food or take it with water
"a level teaspoonful to a quart of
water, or a Is grain tablet with each
g~lassful of water. On sultry summer
days, sprinkle your salt on light, easily
digested foods and eat these foods in
moderate amounts.

After this war is over cotton is going
to have more competition than ever be-
fore. Whether We can survive with a
one-crop economy remains to be seen.
The laws and policies laid down by our
government will influence to a great
degree whether We prosper in the South
or whether we stsrve.
We should not damn people who point
out the errors Of the Democratic party.
Now is the time to join with them and
take the party out of the hands Of the
socialists and communists and demand
that II return to sound principles of
constitutional government and states
rights. Then it should be our purpose,
as long as there is only one party in
the South, to renew our pledge Of
allegiance to this country and send to
the national Congress men of vision.
initiative and courage who will see to
it that the South gets its full economic
rights.
As long as the South is represented
in Congress by Pepper of Florida, and
others like him, who love the New Deal
Party and personl patronage more than
they love the South, we cannot expect
to get anywhere. We will continue to
be the economic problem" and the .ill-

Removal of the highest price line

by OPA at Jackson. Women.s, girls',

TIL action, in the form of an OPA
supplementary order, was issued retro
active to June 80, 1914, the date on
which the Sterilization Extension Act
was signed by the president.
Most price increases for cotton tex
tile items, bringing them into compli-
arce with the new Sterilization Extern
sion Act of 1914, will be absorbed before
textiles and clothing reach buyers, OPA
said recently. The upward adjustments
will amount to but a fraction of the
raises asked for in original proposals to
Congress. OPA said.
OPA said that price increases at the
mill level were estimated to amount to
from s25, OOo, 900 to $4,000, 900 under the
extension act, which requires that cell
ing prices on each major cotton textile
item, separately considered, must reflect
parity to the grower.
