about the birthplace of the poet; and the

long contended that the "Casa di Dante"
did not merit it's title. Other houses in
the vicinity are now, being examined by

Trlumnhs of Modern Snrgery

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones arc spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like inju-
ries before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
ton and in one-third the time requir-
ed by the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very qnickly. 1t also allays
the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle
of Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men,

THE KNOXVILLE BUSINESS COLLEGE
The Leading Institution of It's Kind III
the South

As the city of Knoxville, in its queen
ly beauty, nesting among the historic
mountains of Tennessee is to the sur
rounding towns, an example Of energy
aud push, so is the Knoxville Business
College to the many smaller business
colleges recently sprung up in the
Southland. With splendid faculty,
its thorough and comprehensive course
of study it fits its stuents for the actu-
al duties of commercial tife, without
any reorganization or re-equiping of
systems used in the business world.
When student leaves the college he
has been taught just exactly what is
needed whether he accepts a position
as book keeper or stenographer.
This is very important point to re-
member when one is paying for tni-
tiOn and instruction. This old relia-
BILE institution is 80 well known for its
thoroughness of instruction that il is
almost useless to dwell upon this fact,
but a trip through the college by rep
resentative of the journal and Tribune
more thNN convinced him and gave
splendid idea of the equipment and al
so the systems usedin the commercial
and shorthand departments.
The college has an ideal location be-
ing centrally located on the top floor
of the Lawson-McGhee library build
ing in the very heart of the business
section. 1t is equipped with furniture
necessary for the students comfort and
convenience. Within the past few
weeks ~ beautiful new desks and 1S
new typewriters have been added in
the shorthand department and three
new Emerson ceiling electric fans have
been installed so that there is no sum-
mer weather known at the college.
The commercial department is filled
up with solid walnut desks while the
banking department is equipped with
a set of regularly arranged full-size
bank books, giving the stud ent actual
practice as though he was engage ed III
any banking institution.
The goth century system of book
keeping is taught in the college. This
system is the most modern practi cal,
up-tO-date system in the United States
10 will be taught al the Summer School
this season and is being rapidly adopt
ell by all the leading colleges and
schools throughout the south and west
So great has been the demand for this
sgstem that it was necessary to print
rhe second edition Of 5000 copies be-
lore the close of the first years bust.
l. ess. Ia the shorthand department
he Gregg system is used in compari-
son, this system is so far ahead of all
others as an electric car is ahead of the
slow moving mule car OF Ion g ago.
The touch system of typt writing is
taught by miss May Of Canada, a grad
uate of the Gregg system of shorthand
under the personal supervision Of the
author of this celebrated system.
The graduates of the Knoxville Bus
mess college are always in demand by
the best business houses of this sec
tion Of the south and west, and they
always give the best satisfaction in
whatever position they are placed.
This is the best evidence of the thor
oughness and systematic manner in
which students are instructed and
grounded in the principles of busi-
ness education, in this well known and
reliable institu ton of learning.
