WHIT MOORE MADE AT TEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE BY SLASHING THROAT WITH RAZOR SATURDAY Mr. VVliit Moore attempted to commit suicide Saturday morning at his home near Flovilla. He slash ed himself across the throat with a razor and but for prompt medical attention his attempt at self destruc tion would no doubt have been suc cessful. Mr. Moore recently had been sick v.ith measles, and this fact in con nection with the loss of his wife, whose death occurred only a few weeks ago, probably prompted the rash act. When the attendant step ped out of the room for a few min utes to brine: some food, Mr. Moore seized a razor jand slashed his throat. Dr. A. F. White, of Flovilla, and Dr. 11. W. Copeland, of Jackson, were called and rendered all assis tance in their power. At last reports it was stated that Mr. Moore would probably recover.

The ponderous dictionaries of I9 rope, even the famous mnny-voluined etymological Index of I.nrousse, which is the moan menial work of all modem tongues, are more than surpassed, says (lie New York Sun, by the Arublc dictionaries of 500 years ago, which are still the great authority for stu dents In that language. The Arabic dictionary most used t 7 scholars who are familiar with n# other language Is In 20 quarto vol limes and weighs close to 100 pounds There Is a 50 pound ten-volume abridg ment of it, presumably for use at home. Tills and virtually all the Ara bie dictionaries were made in the time of the Harun-al-Rnshld. The Islamic empire is credited by Moslems with two great eras. The first was that of conquest, when the only history was written with the sword. Then came centuries of Mo hammedan domination, when the Mos lem? peacefully held the empires they had conquered In Asia and In the Ibe riau peninsula. During these art and literature flourished and the Arabic dictionary was horn. In Arabia the flower of this period was in the golden time of Caliph llarun-al-Rnslild. Each of the wools that have been familiar In the daily life of the no mad Arabs for centuries has nu enor mous number of synonyms. The lion, for example, was feared by villagers and hunted not only for sport but as a matter of necessity. Therefore iu the Arabic dictionary the lion has more than a hundred different names The camel was the sole means of transportation across the thirsty des erts and is characterised in 122 dif ferent ways. But above all. the horse anil the sword were the two great stand-bys of the Arab. There are more than 200 words that convey Ideas of "horse" and "sword." All other familiar words, such as tent, flock, herds, wa ter, woman, sun and air, have loug lists of synonyms that are interchange able and in constant use. This affords some slight explanation why Arabic dictionaries are of so targe size. Arabic, so the Arabs say. was the language of the Babylonians, and it is also contended by them that It was the tongue which Abraham spoke. PHONE US THE NEWS. THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA "JUST WONDERFUL” SAYS MISS O’HARA MEMPHIS WOMAN TESTIFIES TO BENEFICIAL RESULTS FROM TAKING TANLAC So many people throughout the United States and Canada have tes-j tified to having used Tanlac with such splendid results following in fluenza, grippe, operation, typhoid and pneumonia, and ether troubles which bring on a run-down condi tion, that it has become universally recognized as one of the most pow erful reconstructive tonics of the present age. Another striking statement in connection with this fact was made by Miss Mildred O’Hara, of 926 Deleware St., Memphis, Tenn. “I am enjoying better health to day,” said Miss O’Hara, “than I have in ten years and I am glad to make a statement that may cause others who are needing something to build them up to learn about Tanlac. “Five years ago I was operated on for appendicitis and was never able until I got Tanlac to get my strength back. My health was bad for a long time, even before I had the operation, and I just seemed to be going from bad to viorse. “I just think it is the most won derful thing I ever heard of that three bottles of Tanlac should make me feel so fine after I had suffered so long. It has given me new life, strength and energy that makes liv ing a pleasure. I used to have con stant headaches, but now I never have one at all. Tanlac has been my friend and I will never go back on it. It is just grand.” Tanlac is sold in Jackson by Car michael Drug and Book Company adv.

Not so very many years ago tin mention of the disease or diphtheria struck terror into the hearts of both parents and physicians. Twenty-five years ago from 35 to 75 per cent ol diphtheria cases were fatal. The average death rate during the past ten years in the larger cities varied from five to fifteen per cent. This marvelous decrease in death rate is undoutbedly due to DIPHTHERIA ANTITOXIN. The Bureau of Vital Statistics has found that during the past six years for every death due to diphtheria, there were three deaths due to typhoid fever, two deaths due to malaria, twe deaths due to measles, two deaths due to whooping cough, twelve deaths due to tuberculosis, seven deaths due to infantile diarrhoea and two deaths due to dysentery. So there is no rea son to become panic-stricken over a case of diphtheria, provided the pa tient is under the care of an intelli gent physician who knows just when and how to use diphtheria antitoxin. Perhaps you know that the State Board of Health furnishes antitoxin at a very iow cost to the people ot Georgia. It is furnished free of charge to anyone who is unable to pay for it. In other words, any person who is unable to pay for medical services is entitled to free antitoxin. There is very little red tape necessary to ob tain it. The physician attending the ease is usually iu a position to know the financial circumstances of his pa tient and all the State Board of Health asks is that its patrons be honest in declaring their status. In 1920 it cost the State of Geor gia about $7,000 to render this service to her people. 25.960.000 units of anti toxin were distributed This repre sents a total cost of $17,476 which the public would have had to pay without the aid of the State Board of Heatlh. This does not take into account the number of lives saved by rendering antitoxin easily available to the pub lic. The distribution of diphtheria antitoxin is only one of many services equally important rendered the pub -11. l; the State Beard of Health. OVER 16 MILLION RAISEDJQ DATE BAPTIST 75 MILLION CAMPAIGN MAKING GOOD PROGRESS, COMMISSION REPORTS. CASH ROUND-UP IN SPRING Effort Will Be Made During March and April to Secure Cash on All Pledges Due to May 1, 1921. ■Tv 4 V . x y-"> ’SjH! <9 mM: Jjaw DR. J. B. GAMBRELL President Southern Baptist Conven tion, who will tour the South. Up to December 1, 1920, Southern Baptists had paid $16,851,100.68 in cash on their subscriptions to the 75 Million Campaign, according to an an nouncement issued toy the Conserva tion Commission, which is looking af ter all the general interests of the campaign. This sum has been appor tioned among foreign missions, home missions, state missions, Christian ed ucation, hospitals, orphanages and ministerial relief, in accordance with the original campaign program. While the receipts from the cam paign have enabled all the agencies of the denomination to greatly enlarge their work the returns have not been as large as the best interests of the work demand, it is said, and the local churches throughout the South are asked to join in a movement to bring up the payments on all subscriptions due by May 1, in order that the dele gates can go to the Southern Baptist Convention at Chattanooga. May 12, with a clean slate and all the gen eral work adequately provided for. Will Hold Day of Prayer. Inaugurating this spring cash round up campaign, February 27-March 6 has been designated as intercession week by the Baptist women of the South, while the entire membership of the Baptist churches is asked to join in spending Wednesday, March 2. as a day of prayer for God’s blessings and guidance iu the further campaign work. After this special period of prayer the remainder of March will be given over to enlisting all the members of all the Baptist churches in the South in the matter of completing the cam paign program by paying that por tion of the subscriptions due by that time, and in bringing the members to see their obligation to support God’s work through the dissemination of the doctrine of stewardship. April has been designated as loyalty month and during that time effort will be made throughout the South to bring Bap tists to realize that their loyalty to God and His work demands the pay ment, where at all possible, of their pledges to the campaign. Southwide Tour Is Planned. In order that the subscribers to the campaign may he fully informed on what has been accomplished with the money they have contributed so far. and as to the needs for the comple tion of the campaign program, a se ries of informational ad inspirational meetings that will reach into every state in the South has been planned for March and April. These meetings will be featured by addresses by Dr. J. B. Gambrel!, president of the South- i ern Baptist Convention, and Dr. E. Y. I Mullins, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, who have just returned from a six months’ tour of the mission fields of Europe, and who will tell of conditions they found there; Dr. L. R. Scarborough, general director of the campaign, and other persons of prominence. These meetings wilt be held at central points 1 in the various states, and from these | central meetings associational and dis-; trict rallies will be formed in the hope j of taking the campaign message to all! the people. Large Relief Work Done. Secretary Lore of the Foreign Mis sion Board reports that Southern Bap- i tists, within the last few weeks, have j contributed $147,281.20 in cash for the relief of suffering peoples in Europe and China, above their campaign con- I tribntions, and that the Baptist women cf the South have contributed SIOO,- 000 worth of first-class clothing for the needy families of Hungary.

HARD TIMES AND HEALTHPROTECTION Every family in Georgia should, at the beginning of each year, make up a budget of expenditures, embracing all necessities, and reasonable expec tancies. The income then must be equal to or exceed this estimated ex penditure. The average American family is un acquainted with the word “budget, or if we grant that such a word is rather popular with a good per cent of our populatioa it has been used mainly, it not altogether, in connec tion with the financing of a bank, rail road, church, school, -college, univer sity or possibly some unit of our gov ernment. It would, in our opinion, be foolish to attempt to run any of our financial, commercial, governmental, educational or church affairs without first making a careful estimate of the gross income for the ensuing year, therefore enabling us to ascertain just what our expenditures can be. A budget plan enables us to not only finance a proposition, but, at the same time, gives us an opportunity to study more carefully and scientifically the conditions that hinder our income, and the reason for each item of ex pense; therefore, affording us to. if possible, remove the obstacles which hinder a more ample income, and to eliminate every item of preventable expense. In the family budget must, of ne cessity, be included certain items com mon to all families, such as good clothing, light, fuel, house rent, or taxes, and repairs, drugs and doctor bills. These, however, have a wide range of variation, depending on many conditions, such as number iu family, occupation, social standing, in telligence, income, health, etc. This article is mainly concerned with the last named condition: HEALTH. No problem is more vitgl in guar anteeing the possibility of an ade quate income than HEALTH. No condition is more disastrous to the re sources of the individual, family, community or country, than sickness. Nothing necessitates the expenditure of so much money for things then es sential as disease. The economic, ed ucational, social and many other prob lems have for their foundation physi cal and mental fitness. This obtains at all times, but when other condi tions are such that the family income is curtailed we are made to realize more keenly the truthfulness of this statement. Therefore, at this particular time (January, 1921) it is especially im portant that our people take even precaution to keep their bodies well and their minds strong. The income of many is less than it has been in several years, and many are totally without employment by reason of our depressed financial affairs. It would be disastrous to add to our economic suffering epidemics of disease. Aside from the fact that the poorly nour ished and scantily clad are unusually susceptible to disease, we are less able to employ medical service, buy medicine and employ other agencies needed in the curing of disease. To prevent it is much more economical One of Georgia's best counties re ports the loss of $100,000.00 from ma laria alone. This amounts to about $4.00 per capita or $20.00 per family. This condition could have been almost entirely prevented by the expenditure of about one-tenth of this amount in a properly conducted health campaign. Another county reports the saving of about $270,000.00 by a well con ducted anti - malaria campaign. To conduct this campaign it cost only about one-sixteenth of the total amount saved. Iu other words, for every dollar spent by the health work ers sixteen dollars were saved to the citizens of the county. Health is really cheap, although it is a purchasable commodity. Disease is very, very expensive. THE HARDER THE TIMES THE MORE WE MUST PROTECT OUR HEALTH. LOOK BEFORE YOU START. “The really fundamental reason for any nutritional program at all is the possibility of raising the leve.l of pub lic health. We may start with the premise that the problem of nutrition is first and foremost one of public health." The director of the Divi sion of Hygiene of the Masacluisetts Department of Public Health contin ues, “For a long time expert nutrition ists are going to be scarce.’’ These statements are true and. it behooves us, therefore, to approach the sub ject of nutrition iu all humility and not to mistake an interest for knowl edge. Get all the available literature and advice on the matter and then do real work in a large way by teaching your group, whether it is school, home economics class, woman’s club, cham ber of commerce, etc., the hygiene of foods and feeding. The work to be really effective must be done under the supervision cr with the close co operation of a physician, himself trained in nutrition. Write to the Division of Child Hy giene, State Board of Health, for ad vice and literature and make the work with your group a success and not so nearly a failure that only you can see the "worth of it. THE BRAVE MEN Here’s to the men who laugh i In the face of grim despair; Who gather the tares and chaff, But sow with a cheerful air. Here’s to the smiling men, Who, giving, can take a blow, And rise to the fight again When others have laid them low. Here’s to the men who grin When plans that we build go wrong, And straightvray new plans begin With courage and purpose strong. Here’s to the glad brave men, Who, battling, expect a bruise And rise to the fight again, Undaunted by the fights they lose. Here’s to the men who smile With faith in the morning light, And bravely await the while ’Till victory crown their fight. Here’s to the fighting men That always need not succeed, To arise to the fight again— The brave in defeat we need. —The Sewanee Purple. SONG OF HARD TIMES There are some widowers in the neighborhood Who would like to marry girls, oh if they could, They will comb back their hair and slick up their shoes, And then throw down the staff they commonly use. And it’s hard, hard times. Here is the miller with the meal on his hat, He seems to be busy with the meal in his sack, He viill measure your corn and toll your grain, And if your back is turned he will toll it again. And it’s hard, hard times. Here is the blacksmith with his ham mer and tongs, He will whistle and sing common songs, He will charge you one dollar for shoeing your horse And before you get home perhaps it is off. And it’s hard, hard times. Here is the preacher, he preaches vei’y bold, He preaches for the money and not for the soul, He will ride round the circuit twelve times a year And then if you are lost he will <*. swear he don’t care. And it’s hard, hard times. Here is the doctor, I like to have for got, I believe in my soul he is the worst of the flock, He will tell you he will cure you for half you possess, And when you are dead he will sue you for the rest. And it’s hard, hard times. —Anonymous. AUGUSTA FARMERS BUY 2,000 BALES FOLLOW GENERAL OUT-LINE OF BUTTS COUNTY PLAN. BE LIEVED THIS ACTION WILL STIMULATE MARKET Augusta, Ga.—lt is announced here that Barrett and Company have bought, for farmers living near Au gusta, 2,000 bales of cotton. It was stated at the office of Ban- \ rett and Company Thursday that the party purchasing this cotton was acting for a group of individuals, v,ho feel, as do Barrett and Com pany, that the present differential between middling cotton and grades below middling is too pronounced for long duration, and that it is on'Jy a question of time before the mills will realize the value of this low grade cotton and seek to purchase it. thereby creating a demand that will force the price upwards. It is gathered that the action of the farmers referred to was prompt ed by their beilef that low grade cot ton will show such a pronounced ad vance in price within the next twelve months that they would be safe in simply investing in it, instead of putting their money into anew crop, feeling that they will make equally as much money and at the same time not have to cultivate and harvest a crop. It is stated that the report of this 2,000 bale purchase in New York tteadied prices there Thursday though later in the day slight de clines followed. SUBSCRIPTION PAYING TIME PHONE US THE NEWS.
