Food Hubits Of
Adolescent Mujor
Heolth Problem

Poor food habits of teen-age
girls and boys is a major prob
lem, according to Miss Mary
Stansel, nutritionist, and DR.. D.
v. Galloway. director of health
education, Mississippi State Board
Of Health, discussing the health
status of today's adolescents.
Poor food habits among this
group are mainly caused by I'M
intelligent weight control and the
acquisition of family food dis
likes" they said.
yet during this period food
needs are greater than almost any
other time of life. An adequate
diet for the adolescent should in
clude a quart of milk. lean meat,
an egg, a green and yellow vege-
table, an orange, grapefruit or
tomato and whole grain or en-
riched bread and cereal every
day.
Serious after-effeets may result
from poor health practices during
adolescence, continued Miss Stan
sci and DIR. Galloway. who stated
that the development of physical
fitness is a lifetime process. Fit
ness is based on the simple, fun
damental health principles of adj
equate nutrition, sufficient rest
and sleep, proper exercise, fresh
air and sunshine, freedom from
disease and good emotional adj
justment, they reminded.

No. t3-Jacksons Trip from
Mobile to New Orleans in 1914
Traditions have left many stor-
les Of Andrew Jackgon's trip
through the county that had been
named for him some two years
before. II is very unlikely that
Jackson as he was passing through
was giving much thought TO any
thing except how TO defeat the
British again as he had done at
Pensacola. II he could have fore
seen his glorious victory on jan
uary 8, 1915, he would have had
more time for general observa-
tions of the county that bore his
name. However, there was on
Jackson's staff one whose BUSH
ness IL was to see and record
everything along any route the
Commanding General might
travel. That man was Major
Howell Tatum, former attorney
general of Tennessee, a graduate
engineer, and now detailed with
Jackson as a Typographical en-
gincer." His journal" gives in
detail the day by day, and almost
mile by mile, journey Of Jack
sons staff from Mobile to the
scene of their next great battle.
Some years earlier than the
War of 1872 the American gov
eminent had caused d post road
to be laid out from Fort Stod-
dart, on the Alabama river just
above the thirty-first parallel. to
Pinckneyville on the Mississippi
river. This road followed in gem
eral the twenty-first parallel,
crossed the Pascagoula river just
below where it is formed by the
junction OF the Leaf and Chicka-
sawhay rivers. crossed Black
creek below Brooklyn, crossed
Pearl river at John Ford's some
ten miles below Columbia, and
continued on TO Pinckneyville.
After the American occupation
of the Louisiana parishes. a road
had turned south from John
Ford's through Chefpncta parish
to Lake Ponchartrain and then by
ferry to New Orleans.
No General Road
There was no generally trav-
elled road south of this post road
at the time Jackson made this
trip and Ii we did not have the
positive testimony of Tatum's
record it would be a safe assump-
ton that his army travelled ii.
The militiamen who rushed from
the western counties to help Clai-
borne defeat the Greeks after the
massacre of Fort Minis, used this
road. Twice more they used it,
first to return to their homes
when they e mustered out
and then to return to join jack
son against Pensacola. Now again
it was used to rush some of the
same soldiers to New Orleans.
Some of the pertinent parts of
Major Howell Tatum's Journal
are given in the following para
graphs. In general, the story is
given with his spelling and pc
culiar phraseology unchanged ex-
cept that some abbreviations are
expanded. Omissions are made
for the sake of brevity.

travelled, nearly West the whole
distance to Mimms's, where the
Commanding General, &C. ar
rived in the evening and halted
for the night, on the East SIDE OF
the creek, at % miles"
In two more days, after cross
ing the Black creek at Mimms
ferry not far below Brooklyn,
Jackson's party reached Ford's
Fort, two miles beyond Pearl
river. Major Tatum states that
from the best observation that
could be made or information OBJ
tanned" Foros is nearly west from
Gattins. Jackson's staff turned to
the left directly through Chefonc-
Ia parish to cross Lake Panehar-
train by boat, while his army I'M
der Coffee and others had to go
another hundred miles west to
Pinckneyville before they could
turn down to Baton Rouge.
Jackson's staff travelled some
225 miles in nine days and Cot
fees army had TO travel $50 miles
to get to New Orleans, all because
the British controlled the water
route. Today, Mobile is approx
mately $50 miles from New Or
leans along Highway so ana can
be made by an army jeep in
three to six hours.
