i Are Mississippi Politicians Resting. from tha Cold and Blustery Spring-, From New York Herald. The present fall of temperature over a large area of country, and the probability of its continuance for some time, is very likely to affect the public health by the increase of all such trou bles as commence with the ordinary cold. In this connection we cannot lose sight of the fact that grip is still prevailing, and although it has been on the wane there is a threat in the present cold wave of a revival of the former of the scourge. We can hardly congratulate ourselves that the danger from pneumonia is likely to be less with the Incoming and inclement spring than it.

No new Congressional aspirants have come forward, and inasmuch as active campaigning has not begun in any of the districts, matters have remained rather quiet and without interest. There are indications that a strong fight will be made before the Democratic State Executive Committee, when It meets here on the 30th of this month, for the State convention meeting place. Vicksburg has already begun an active campaign to secure the convention, and Meridian will also make an effort to get it. The State conventions have always met in Jack-son because of its accessibility. Jack-son, however, has no hall sufficiently large to accommodate the convention and must depend entirely upon using Representative Hall of the old Capitol building, which has several times been pronounced unsafe.

It will thus be seen that Jackson is handicapped in the matter, and unless her citizens make some unusual efforts It will be no mat ter of great surprise if the convention meets in the Hill pity. INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL. The industrial awakening experienced during the past year or two by Mississippi Is little short of marvelous. From every direction throughout the State now comes news of movements on foot for the erection of cotton fills. Several towns are vieing with each other in the attempt to be first to put mills in operation, and a general progressive spirit is permeating the whole State.

At Mc-Comb City, Kosciusko, Winona, West Point, Tupelo, More-head City, Laurel -and the Agricultural College companies have been organized and the necessary buildings and machinery for cotton mills have been con traded for. All of these places expect to hare cotton mills in operation In time to handle the fall crop. In addition, companies are in course of organization for the erection of cotton mills at Y'azoo City, Canton. Green wood, Greenville and a number of other towns, and for a second factory at Columbus. During the next few years Mississippi promises to be well In the lead among Southern States in industrial enterprise.

WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. The Mississippi Woman Suffrage As sociation will hold its annual convention in Clarksdale on May 10 and 11. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, will be present and take an active part in tho meeting.

Ten months ago I quit coffee altogether and took up Postum Food Coffee. I have no more headaches; am very much stronger and in better flesh than I was before I began.

A show of genuine art and beauty on the Midway to be here during the week of May 14 will be one of stat 1 nary and posing. This will be under a tent, black-lined h'L in this way bril liant lights will charmingly illuminate and bring out the work of the sculptor and the handiwork of the creator. Every piece of statuary will be historic and by its marvelously chiseled lines and curves display to the cultured imagination its real meaning, and the delicate and polished touch and ability of its maker.

The posing will beggar description. All that is grand, refined and ennobling will be presented. The schools of art in Paris have been searched, and the best subjects and models secured. This department of the Midway will instruct the searcher after the most beautiful thoughts of the world of art. Think of the rough rock taken from the rough hills, chiseled by a master hand, and, seemingly, as if by magic, turned into a living soul! Think of the grand pieces of statuary from the studios and galleries of the old world that were on exhibition at the World's Fair, Chicago.

Think of the progress since then and an idea can be formed of what the statuary and posing will be. Take the mind to the great paintings that have given their masters renown. Think of these produced by perfect models In perfect posing! Having done this one can have a glimmer of what the statuary and posing department of the Midway will be. down in the afternoon.

Mr. Jerry Fountain, County Superintendent of Education, has received from State Superintendent J. W. Abercrombie a letter informing him that the following Jefferson county applicants for license as teachers stood successfully the March examinations and will receive their certificates: J. C.

Vines, Miss Susie Milner, Miss Alice Meacham, B. S. Johnson, A. V. Vines, Miss M.

B. West, all white, and T. J. Randall, colored. As there were thirty-six applicants for license from this county before the March Board and only seven have succeeded, it follows that the Examining Board is becoming quite strict and severe.

Certificates will not be sent the successful applicants until all the papers of the March examination throughout the State have been graded. It is not known how the successful applicants from Jefferson will be graded. EDUCATIONAL BOARD Postum Food Coffee for anything in the world. She uses it three times a day and says it keeps her mind clear and bright and her body healthy. Another friend, a lady who is a cripple and has been an invalid for a long while, took up Postum Coffee about two years ago.

She has gained many pounds, and her flesh is now hard and firm. It is natural we should sing the praises of Postum. Miss Ida M. Forney, 24 Highland avenue, Melrose Highlands. Mass.

It will be observed from the above that each person showed an increase in sturdy strength, brought about by leaving off coffee and the use of Postum Food Coffee. The reason for this experience is that the poisonous alkaloids contained In regular coffee, prostrated the nervous system, bringing on all sorts of aches and ails, and disintegrating the delicate cells in the nerve centers, destroying and throwing out the elements absolutely required by nature for maintaining good, sound nervous strength and health. When coffee is discontinued, nature seeks to set up a healing and repair the damage. The efforts of nature are powerfully aided by certain elements in Postum Food Coffee which come from parts of the field grain, selected especially for the purpose, by the makers of Postum. One of the principal elements IS phosphate of potash delicate, microscopic product used by the system in combination with albumen of the food to make up the cells In the nerve centers of the human body.

There is a well-defined reason why people can add greatly to their strength and health by leaving off coffee an using Postum Food Coffee. J. M. NEILL SON Proprietor 'Jf UNION STOCK YARDS STANDARD FASHION SHEETS FREE ON APPLICATION. Loveman, Jaros Of the New Era Held Meeting.
