Miss Main is almost perfectly tai
lored to the slapstick measure Of her

are courtship scene in which Cos

she sits in, with an equal phony in

game. BY the time the hand is laid
down, she not only has all the
money in the community but has
turned each Of her fellow players
into a kind of bond slave.

and Costello are warned that the
place is so tough that even the State
highway is afraid to get closer than
three miles to the town.
A couple Of scenes later, the
heroes of Keith's farce wish they
had been as smart as the highway
commissioners. BY this time, they
have been given a murder rap from
which they escape only by agreeing
to take up life with the woman they
presumably have widowed.
Charles T. Barton in his direction
of "The Wistful Widow Of Wagon
Gap" is never able to decide which
Is the funnier, the antics Of Abbott
and Costello or the story upon
which they are working. The result
Is that he lets the oegs trample the
narrative almost to death before he
calls off his farceurs. It could easily
have been funnier the other way,

Sunshine"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. My thought for today is,
''The best way out of a difficulty
is through it," Did you know that
there are more people by the
name of Smith in our city than
any other names, Johnsons, next
Williamses then Joneses and Will
sons etc. In our National Capital,
segregation is so fluently practiced.
that fifty-one school children who
won awards for their work for
public safety, could not be taken
on a trip there because of the
discrimination against the four
Negro Children in the group. OF
all places you would think our
Capital would at least be respect
ed. We have lost our Governor,
the debt he paid we all must pay
some day. 1 am told he was a
friend to the people. Some speak
of his faults. Now just show me
the person regardless of social
position color or creed who doesn't
have a fault. There is good in
every body and there are faults
in everybody. He was a good
Governor. Aanytime a person goes
to a job in pain and suffering as
he did, couldn't help but be good
and outstanding. Imagine how he
suffered. I know death must have
been a welcome guest, or friend.
His ingenuit and faith will go
down on the pages of time. He
was a great man and lived his
life fully as possible and in help
fulnesS to his. fellow man. We find
that he tried to fill each day with
productive activity, despite his JIM
active body, even lost his voice,
and continued to work. How many
of us would have done that for
ourselves or humanity, regardless
of obligations. Remember, they
talked about the Master and are
yet talking about him. Let's think
about the good he has done and
forget the faults of which we have
many. Right thinking is essential,
if we are to be happy and spiritu-
ally free. Peace and freedom are
the greatest things in life. Don't
forget to spread sunshine, each
day along the way.
Bye Now, So long It'll then.

Your State Health
Officer Says
Heart Disease Leads
State Denfh Total

A
Heart disease takes the lives of more
Mississippi citizens than any other
disease. In 1916 there were 1857 citi-
zens who died from heart disease.
Deaths from heart diseases are twice
as great al deaths from other causes
such as cancer, accidents, pneumonia
tuberculosis and others listed among
the ten leading causes of death in
the State.
Although most deaths from heart
disease occur in the older age groups,
all ages are subject to heart dis
eases of various kinds. AT birth, in
childhood, and youth there is the
threat from congenital and rheuma-
tic heart diseases. At maturity, mid
die age and beyond there is the
threat of heart diseases associated
with high blood pressure and hard
ening of the arteries.
Mississippians by cooperating
with the public health workers and
private physicians have helped re-
duce to insignificance deaths from
typhoid fever, malaria, pellagra,
scarlet fever, diptheria, smallpox,
and many of the contagious diseases
of childhood. The same progress can
be made with heart disease. It, like
other preventable diseases, a be
treated more effectively if found in
the early stages.
National Heart Week will be OBJ
served throughout all the states dur
ing the week of February 8-14 in
elusive. This special observance is
sponsored by the American Heart
Association and endorsed by the
United States Public Health Service
in the interest of prolonging life and
promoting good health in a prolong-
ed life.
There is no better way in which
Mississippi citizens a cooperate
with this national observance than
by having a physical examination
which includes an adequate heart
examination. BY all mean e a
doctor if you think you have any OF
, the danger signals such as palpita-
ton, shortness of breath. swelling
of feet and ankles, or a painful op.
pressive sensation under the breast
bone.
If he says. after an adequate ex
animation, that you have no trouble
believe him and 60 about your bust
ness of living free from worry. i
your doctor says you have any form
of heart trouble, regulate your life
according to the instructions he give:
you. Remember that it is only by
thorough medical examination tha'
you can be sure. An annual exami
nation is advised. There is no bettel
time than now, the month OF Febru
airy.
We are optimistic in believing tina
we can reduce deaths from heart dis
eases with your help, as we hav'
from other preventable diseases.

GOSPEL TALKS
BY Rev. r. c. Valentine
A Great Confession

Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God."-Matt. 1916.
The Apostles had been with
Christ through a number of differ
ent experiences. They had heard
Him teach multitudes and wondered
at His wisdom. They had seer Him
perform great works of healing, had
seen the blind made to see, the deaf
made to hear and the dead raised.
They had seen the tempest stilled at
His command and five thousand fed
with five loaves and two fishes.
Through all these experiences, they
were forming an opinion concerning
the One who was so unique among
men.
Finally, Christ asked them, Whom
do men say that / am the Son of
man amp" They replied with diff
ferent men were giving to
that question. Then, He said unto
them, But who do you say that l
amp" Peter acting as the spokes-
man for the twelve replied with the
great confession of faith, Thou are
the Christ, the Son of the living
God"
This was no hasty judgment form
ed on little evidence. Rather, 1t was
based on indisputable evidence wit
messed first hand. They were firmly
convinced that this Jesus was the
Jewish Messiah, the Christ of God
This conviction of the heart and con-
fession with the mouth is absolutely
necessary to saving faith. Paul tells
us, 'That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
