MILITARY HISTORY

To An Ex-confeder1te Tennessee Cap
In the course of next spring full
and complete military history of
Tennessee will be published.
This work is the result OF much
patient and faithful labor by. one
well fitted by nature and training
for the undertaking..
A valuable feature OF the volume
will be found in the lists Of all offi-
GERS and privates killed or mortally
wounded in battle. So far as the
soldiers engaged in the various
wars who belonged to the United
States were concerned, there is no
difficulty in getting the names from
Government archives. On the 9th
er hand, of the vast number whose
lives were given up in defense OF
the Confederate States, the records
preserved are meagre and imper-
feet. More than hundred battle
fields in Tennessee, Virginia, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Kentucky and
elsewhere are fertilized by the
remains of honest and heroic men
who sleep in unknown graves.
When they fell, but few, IL any
newspapers were published 10 re-
cord the fact. AS a permanent fea-
ture in Tennessee history this MEM
orial roll will be invaluable. 1t Is
for many reasons, obvious 10 all,
exceedingly important that this
roster of heroic martyrs be accurate
and complete. The captains OF the
Individual companies of the various
arms in the service are the only
persons upon whom the community
can call to make up the necessary
returns. We earnestly appeal to
you to set about the task at once.
Take pains to have the names cor
rect to letter, also be precise to
date and place of death. Talk to
and correspond with your comrades.
Spare no pains, be accurate, for this
memorial will be more lasting than
brass, going as ii will into hundreds
of public libraries and thousands of
private families. Do not fail. No
eulogy will ever be published upon
Tennessee valor more eloquent than
this enumeration of multiplied hun.
dreds who freely gave their lives as
a sacrifice to patriotism. Not later
than Dec. 1st send your returns TO
DIR. j. Berrin Lindsey, Nashville,
Tenn. All papers circulating with
in the limits of Tennessee are res
pectfully solicited to publish this
circular.

said his father, eager to speak out

A Renefirent Action.

The miserable looks and feelings of
those confined at desks or work tables,
are caused by weak stomach, kidneys
or bowels. Parker's Ginger Tonic
without intoxicating has such a bene-
ficent action on these organs and so
cleanses the poisonous matters from
the system, that rosy cheeks and good
health are soon brought back again

A grave-looking man in a brown coat
tapped one of the most energetic dancers
on the arm and requested a few minutes
private conversation.
"Well, SIR" said the heated waltzer,
after he had excused himself from his
partner and elbowed his way into the
dressing room. "Speak quick. What

earnestly. Nov, that was all very
well five years ago, but science, my
dear sir, is always on the march.
"What the blazes are you talking
about ?" asked the round dancer, much
mystified.
"Another great objection is the ex-
IRENE weight of the old style. They are
really no better than the solid wood.
Now, why not try one of our latest

Lost Colonies Of Greenland. =

Greenland was first seen by the old
Morse navigator, G,Innbjorn, IN S76
A. D., but the first European to land on
its shores was Eric, the Red, banished
jarl, or chief, of Iceland, son of the jarl
of Jadar, in Norway. This daring ex-
plorer rounded Cape Farewell and
skirted the west coast as far as the point
where Julianshaab now stands, on the
inlet of Ericsfiord, which he named.
This was in 9S3-4 In 9S5 he set sail
from Iceland with twenty-five ships and
a large company of emigrants, men,
women and children. Only fourteen
vessels of this fleet reached Ericsfiord,
where colony was planted. Other set
Elements were soon made for consider
able distance north of this, but none on
the east coast of Greenland, as was be-
heved until very recently. A consider
able trade between these colonies and
Norway, Iceland and America grew up,
and it is said that at one time there
were over 300 farms and numerous vii
lagos between Cape Farewell and Disco
Island. At first the colonists worshiped
according to the ancient Scandinavian
faith, as taught by the Sagas, but in
time Christianity was introduced,
churches and monaSteries were built,
and Arnold was consecrated first Bishop
of Greenland in 1926. A. ID. Thus far,
and until 1916, the Government of the
country was essentially republican, but
in the latter year the people became sub
ject to King Hakon Hakonsen of Nor
way. About l340-50 the Skhalinger,
or Esquimallx, made their first recorded
appearance in Greenland, and from this
time the colonists suffered from the hos
tilities of these people, from pestilence
in the form of "the black DEATH" and,
finally, from European pirates, who, ac-
cording to Pope Nicholas ", descended
upon them about 1920 with fire and
sword. By these several agencies these
unfortunate people were utterly des-
troyed or became absorbed among the
natives and they have ever since been
alluded to as "the lost colonies of
Greenland" Subsequently, until 1921,
the country was seen only by whalers,
chiefly Dutch. In the year just named
Hans Egede Undertook the Christianiza-
ton of the natives, and from this event
dates the permanent settlement and
present civilization of Greenland.

Reliable Hints for Good Health.

Every sensible physician will readily
subscribe to the following admirable
hygienic advice, which caunot be too
closely observed: "The best blood
purifier known 10 the medical profession
Is the following: First, plenty of cold
water ablutions that is, every morning
of the year take cold water sponge
bath over the whole body, followed 10y Wig
orous rubbing with coarse towel, using
quick, brisk action, the whole process
not taking more than three minutes
time. In dressing, wear flannel next TO
the skin throughout the year. Second,
eat plenty OF plain, nourishing food,
plenty of rare beef and mutton, parta1-
ing freely of fruits, fresh or stewed and
of vegetables, particularly the summer
vegetables as being more digestible !;
ignore artificial sweets of all kinds, pies,
hot buildings, pastries, heavy preserves,
etc. Third, plenty of outdoor exercise
every day; take good long walks, not to
over fatigue, however; plenty Of fresh
air and sunshine; plenty OF ventilation
to your house and rooms at all times,
day and night Let the fresh air into
your sleeping room at night, In winter
as we'll as summer, and see to at III every
way that you breathe pure oxygen every
hour out of the twenty,four, instead of
carbonic- acid-gas poison. Take plenty
of sleep, and at regular hours, and
strictly avoid alcoholic drinks and to-
bacco in any form. "These four-daily
cold water bathing, good food, fresh air
and exercise-form together the only
specific blood purifier known. Medicine,
drugs and herbs will not alone purify the
blood; the most they can do is some
times to assist nature in making a start
