Five prominent Mississip-

state officials, have issued
statements supporting the
proposed constitutional amend
ment to be voted on June 5th,
which will allow sheriffs 10

president of the Mississippi
Sheriff's Association There
are many reaeons why this
change is needed, but perhaps
the most important can be
summed up in three words:
better law enforcement. The
time has come for Mississip-
pans to take a realistic look
at our basic law enforcement
system. Unfortunately, crime
is on the increase, not only in
Mississippi, but throughout
the nation. We are convinced
this amendment will be a big
step forward in strengthening

sponsored SO bills that have become law. More than any other
Congressman from our State). The speedy passage of his bill to
aid farmers with flooded out cotton acreage is but one example
OF Franks effectiveness in Congress. His Textile Labelling Bill

The fact that Franks old 3rd district has had less federal
interference than any other Mississippi District is not due to
chance nor to oratorical bombasts. Frank Smith has worked
trelessy with Senators Jim EastIand and John Stenns to present
the Southern viewpoint on race relations to the highest authori-
ties. These efforts have won respect, rather than ridicue, for
our Southern way of life. Franks record, of never missing a
single recorded or unrecorded vote on the Civil Rights issue. is
one of which he is justly proud.

I'd say better cneck on the
adenoid tissue in back of
your nose, but that's probably
not a factor now, because
it shrinks as we grow older.
Have you been to a nose

few causes of nasal obstruc-

For example, a common one
Is deviated septum, which
encroaches on the breathing
space. Many people have nasal
polyps which block one or
both sides of the nose. How
are your Sinuses? And here's
an important consideration:
Allergy.
Here is a patient who tells
me that she stumbled on the
cause of her insomnia which
was due to blocked up nasal
passages. She was in the
habit of taking milk and
cake before bedtime. Within
an hour or two her nose
would feel stuffy.
While on vacation, and not
having easy access to milk
at night, she "breathed like
a new person. Her first night

pre-bedtime snack and milk.
She had no trouble breath

milk at night.
Another man told me he

these patients for this
