FOUND A CURE FOR INDIGESTION "I use Chamberlain’s Stomach and

Liver Tablets for indigestion and And they suit my case better than any dyspepsia remedy I have ever

tried and I have used many different medicines. I am nearly flfty-one years of age and have suffered a

great deal from indigestion. I can eat almost anything I want to now,” writes George W. Emory, Rock Mills, Ala. These tablets contain no pep- sin but strengthen the stomach and enable it to digest the food natur- ally.

Bennett, the president of the organization urgently request the donation of books in the recommended Reading Course of the High School. Parents of former High School stu-

j dents are asked to give such books as they may have purchased for their children’s recommended reading while they in the High School, as the small number of copies available in the city and school libraries irakes it exceedingly difficult for all the students of a class to read the works selected.

It is desired to obtain as many copies as possible.

THE PNEUMONIA MONTH. March is a typical pneumonia

month and usually gives a high rate of mortality for the disease. After a long and hard winter, the system loses much of its resistance and people grow careless. When every cold, no matter how slight, is given prompt and intelligent attention, there is much less danger of pneumonia. It should be borne in mind that pneumonia is a germ disease and breeds in the throat. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is an expectorant and cleans out the germ ladened mucus

and not only cures a cold but pre- vents its resulting in pneumonia. It Is pleasant to take. Children take it willingly.

The safest rule is to go to the place that gives you the best attention, has the most skilled workmen and seems to be most on the job—the place that de- serves the title of “Battery Headquarters”.

Fig Preserves. Miss Eva Legett, county Home

Demonstration Agent, and Mrs. F. A. Eldred, of A. & M. College, have been calling on different club members of Lincoln County organizing Fig Pre- serve Clubs.

This work was started last year under the auspices of the Home Eco- nomics Department of A. & M. Col- lege. Many demands came to the above department for fig preserves of a high grade. Few of these were for sale, club members merely putting up enough to supply their home needs. A survey was made by the Marketing Department and it was

found that the shelves of the leading merchants of Mississippi were filled with fig preserves that had been prepared in California. Investigation further showed that in South Missis- sippi, in Adams county, especially, that quantities of figs fell from the trees each year during fig season and spoiled. The idea of conserving this surplus crop of figs was conceived by the directors of the work.

A demonstration of this project was carried out in Adams county with the result that approximately 6000 12 oz. jars of Fig Preserves were prepared for market by Sept. 1, 1921. These were all sold by Nov. 1, at 50 cents per jar, or $5.00 per dozen. The sale of these preserves brought into Adams county between $2,500 and $3,000. An av-

erage of 50 per cent on the money invested was realized by the ladies who undertook the work. The ladies who were interested in the project last year say that they are going to double their efforts this year and not a fig will go to waste in 1922 in Adams county.

The above demonstrated so clearly •

that there is practically an unlimit- ed market for high grade fig pre- j serves, that it has been decided to ■■

put the project over in all the or- ganized counties of Mississippi where figs grow abundantly enough to make an undertaking possible. Miss Legett will be glad to enroll any wo-

man or girl in Lincoln county who would be interested in preserving flg3 for market. The conditions gov- tuning niemuersrnp in mese ciuds

will appear in Wednesday’s issue of The Leader. The marketing Depart- ment of A. & M_ College will help with the marketing of all products that come up to the required com- mercial standard.

CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY NOTHING SO GOOD FOR A

COUGH OR COLD. “Everyone who has used Cham-

berlain’s Cough Remedy speaks well of it,” writes Edward P. Miller, Ab- bottstown, Pa. People who once use this preparation are seldom satisfied with any other. It is excellent to allay a cough or break* up a cold.

Mr. E. H. Herring Honored. Mrs. E. H. Herring and children

entertained quite a number of rela-. tives and friends at dinner Sunday, in honor of Mr. Herring’s 61st birthday. Mr. J. T. Bullock was an honored guest, his birthday coming on

February 25th. All the children and some of the

friends carried well filled baskets. There were cakes, pies, custards— just everything good to eat.

Mr. Herring is a man of splendid character, and tries to give his fel- low man a square deal—a thing to be appreciated these days.

We hope Mr. Herring will have many more birthdays for more than one reason.

Some Inhuman Laws Against Wives

and Mothers. In 37 of these United States a

married mother has no legal right to her children.

In 16 states a wife has no legal right to her own earning outside of the home.

In 8 states a woman has no right to her own property after marriage.

In 7 states there is no law com-

pelling a man to support his o^n family.

Taking these things to heart, prominent women of this city have formed the National Legislative League to do away with them.

We hope they may succeed. If women who bear children, who nurse them in sickness, whose existence is bound up in babyhood, have no right to their babies, who on earth has?

It seems a strange fact that the remarkable legislators who passed the law In 37 states were once babies themselves. Perhaps the curriculum of an Incubator would have made them think and act differently.

And should not a wife have a

right to her own earnings? What justice is there in that law which prevails in 16 states which allows a recreant and drunken husband to despoil his wife of the money she has earned?

Who gave the small atom shaped after the fashion of Adam the right to oppress and bulldose the smaller atom shaped after the fashion of Eve?

Not less idiotic is the law pre- vailing in 8 states which takes away the right of a woman to her own

property after marriage. Thus the marriage law in these states may be made the vehicle of downright thiev- ery by men who care nothing for the sanctity of a vow.

Taken as a whole the women of the National Legislative League have a mighty good basis of fact to work on.—New York Journal.

Mother of Fourteen and Step-Mother of Thirteen Dies.

Picayune, Miss., Feb. 27. — Mrs. Pinkie Smith died at her home three miles west of Picayune last week and was buried at New Palestine Cemetery. She was the mother of fourteen children and the stepmother of thirteen, twenty-four of them liv- ing to be grown and married. Twen- ty-,two of these children survive and nineteen of them reached Picayune in time to attend the funeral.

Nearly fifty years ago she was

united in marriage to William Smith, a widower with thirteen children, most of them of tender years, the youngest a baby only a few months old. Her husband died in 1902, and she managed the farm on

which all the children were raised, until her death. Of the twenty-sev- en children, only three died before reaching maturity.

It takes all kinds of legislators to make a government, and It would be a sad world if everyone thought alike. David Harum said "a certain number of fleas is good for a dog; keeps him from broodin’ on bein’ a
