Loss Of Appetite.

A person that has lost appetite has
lost something besides-vitality, vigor,
tone.
The way to recover appetite and all
that goes with it is to take Hoods Sar-
saparilla-that strengthens the stom-
ach, perfects digestion and makes eat
ing pleasure.
Thousands take it for spring loss OF
appetite and everybody says there's
nothing else so good as Hoods.

prediction made almost century ago
in the book of a Russian naval OBJ

likely of fulfillment at the present time,
says the London Mail.
In 1911 Capt. Vasil Golawin Of the

among the coral archipelagoes of the
Pacific to ascertain which of these were
inhabited by the Japanese, and accord

ELECTRICITY FOR SMALL USE
Electric illumination Is Now Almost a
Necessity


Necessity
According to the Electrical World
and Engineer, the general public and
many electric light companies have
not outgrown the old idea that electric
light Is rich mans illumination only.
says, when this was undoubtedly
true, but conditions have so changed
in the last fifteen years of the electric
lighting industry that it is far from
true at the present. The two principal
changes in the electric lighting industry
duction in the cost of electric light to
small consumers are, first, the perfec-
ton of incandescent lamps of less than
sixteen candlepower, and, second, the
gradual reduction in the cost of cur
rent by means of various discount sys-
TENS. With sixteen candlepower lamps
as the smallest unit of light, and with
high rates, the cost Of electric light
was prohibitive in smaller homes, and
1t is not strange that kerosene and gas
have continued the most popular in
such places. Both gas and kerosene
at usual prices undoubtedly give more
total light at given cost
than do incandescent lamps, except
where rates are exceedingly low.
but that tells only half the story and
is misleading, as it is the useful rather
than the total light that counts.
hau n, ind xxtba
the cost of kerosene to supply lamps
was actually greater per month than
the cost of electric lights after they
were introduced. In this case there
were a number of rooms in the house
which were used intermittently during
great inconvenience of lighting kero-
sene lamps at different intervals it was
the custom to keep lamp lighted in
each room that was to be used. With
electric lights only those actually in use
were kept burning, because a light
could be had so easily in any room
whenever 1t was wanted. Gas occupies
an intermediate position between kero-
sene and electricity as regards con-
venience. 1t can be turned down under
conditions where kerosene would be al
lowed to burn full strength. 1t is pos
sible, however. to SO direct the rays of
electric lights by means of rehectors
and by proper placino of the lights
with reference to the work, as to admit
of the use of electric lamps OF lower
candlepower than would be possible
with gas. and in this way where econ
omy is a great object. as it is in the
poor mans home the electric light can
be made practically as cheap as gas or
kerosene.

HOME OF THE MOONSHINER.
Much Illicit Liquor Produced In State
of Georgia


From the Baltimore American.
Despite the impression which has
long prevailed that Tennessee, partcu-
larly the mountainous section of it, is
the natural home of the "moonshiner"
and that the streams which descend are
! favored with the juice of corn or dis
titled apples, the records of the inter-
nal revenue department for the past
thirteen years show that there have
been fewer distilleries seized in Tennes-
see than in any other section where
'moonshining" is carried on to any
extent. The remark that the chief out
put Of the eastern section of the state
is ''moonshine liquor" is thoroughly
discounted by the facts.
The popular impression that the office
OF an internal revenue deputy is one of
the most hazardous and dangerous oc-
cupations in the world, and that the
murder of revenue official is a COM
mon occurrence, does not seem alto
gether justified by the official statistics
either. During the past thirteen years
only twelve revenue officers have been
killed throughout the entire United
States. This is less than one a year.
During that period only twenty-six
have been wounded, These statistics
cover the years of 1901 and 1908 inclu-
sive. For the year ended June 80 1908,
there was not a single employe of the
internal revenue service killed or
wounded This statement is further
emphasized when it is known that dur
ing that year there were 1896 arrests
for violations Of the internal revenue
laws, the largest ever made during any
year since the establishment OF the de-
partment. In 1903 there We're 1883 stills
seized.
Not only did Georgia lead all the
states during 1908, but this is the case
Tor every year during the last ten. Dur
Ing that period from one-fourth to one
half the distilleries reported seized
have been credited to Georgia, and II
has furnished from one-fourth 10 two
thirds OF the arrests During the fiscal
year 1908 less than 3 per cent OF the
Illicit distilleries seized were In Tennes-

see. The average for other years IL
practically the same.
AS is well known, the Second Ten
nessee district is composed of the
counties of East Tennessee, much of
which is very mountainous, the kind
Of territory in which the moonshiner is
generally supposed to flourish; yet I'm

Illicit stills we're captured and but
twenty-four arrests we're made, about
three times the number made in the
Fifth district. In 1900, of the forty
four arrests made in Tennessee, but
twenty-eight were made in the eastern
district.
Although there have been compare
lively few arrests made in Tennessee
and the number of seizures is consid-
erably less than that made in neigh
boring states, the scene of several of
the bloodiest battles in the history of
the department between the revenue
officials and the moonshlners has been
In Tennessee. During the past twenty
years several of the bravest officials
In the service have met death or been
seriously wounded in Tennessee I'm the
discharge of their duty, In the late
sos, Jim" Davis, one of the most
fearless and efficient men ever known
to the service, was fired upon from
ambush at the foot of Ben Lomond
mountain, in Warren county, and
fairly riddled with bullets, dying with
in a few minutes.
Probably the most fatal and desper-
ate battle ever fought between the
officers and moonshiners took place in
Lincoln county in 1892 AS a result
of the encounter three members of the
posse were killed and mortally wound
ed. They were Greed Cradwell S. d.
Matthews and Joe" Spurrier. The
latter was fatally wounded and died
within a short time after the fight.
"Lige" Patrick, member of the law
less band was killed in the fusillade
of shots which passed from the posse
into the ambush from which the fire of
the wildcatters was directed.
In April, 1899, while assisting in a
raid on a wildcat still in the Pigeon
river country right at the North Caro-
lima line, Deputy Sheriff Dawson of
Cooke county was shot and fatally
wounded from ambush The scene of
the tragedy was near the Little Pigeon
river, in one of the most picturesque
parts of East Tennessee.
In a fight with Jim Brizandine,
Deputy Marshal Dugan received a
severe wound, the trouble occurring
near Gallatin, in 1909. Deputy Collec-
tor John w. Hall and D. Swami were
both shot, the former fatally at Longs
distillery. on January 5, 1898, the year
of greatest fatalities in the service. In
effecting his escape from the sheriff OF
Clay county, Sam Smith, one of Ken
tucky's famous moonshiners, shot and
seriously wounded Deputy Sheriff
Been at Celina, on October 2s, 1895.
Posseman Corder Mackie and Deputy
Marshal Price were wounded in a raid
in Putnam county, the latter disabled
for life, on July 49, 1901. This Is the
last encounter in Tennessee between
the officers and distillers in which
revenue officers were wounded. Joe
Thomas, who was killed some two
years ago in Putnam county, is the
last victim accredited to the moon
sinners. He was a witness in a case
and was shot down one morning on his
way to Cookeville.

Vital Problems and Think Too

From ths chIcaso Record- Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald
With eyes swapping and lips
s-quiver members of the Social Eco
nomics club hguratively trod on tacks
yesterday while one of their leaders
told them that the woman's club
movement was in danger of going
to smash on shoals of tea and waters
The gloomy prophecy was uttered by
Mrs. Corinne s. Brown, long a guiding
spirit of the Social Economies and one
of the most widely known club women
in Chicago.
Although Mrs. Brown did not speak
directly OF the Social Economics club
and its mission, her remarks neverthe-
less were driven home to her auditors,
many of whom are members of other
women's organizations, any one Of
which would come under range of the
Speakers criticism. When Mrs. Brown
had finished there was suppressed

same small things" she went on. "If
you go to their meetings you will find
that they scurry lightly over a great

and waters. And the alarming thing
about it is that they seem satisfied
with such little things.
mice Clothes" a Factor
what does 1t mean when the presi-
dent of one club receives a score Of
invitations from as many other clubs
to attend their meetings? All that
club president has to do under the
present system Is to wear nice clothes
and be able to pay car fare every day
to visit other clubs.
IF our clubs do not take hold of
some vital question they will lose
their influence and their strength will
pass to organizations which do deal
with the real problems of life. 1 have
in mind such organizations as the
womens trade unions who are dealing
with questions which mean life and
death to then-the raising of wages
and sanitary places in which to work.
THE fact that there were seventeen
men on the program of our woman's
state federation is significant. 1t is all
indication of how weak the women
are; how they are afraid to trust and
rely on themselves"
Pausing for a moment, so her part
ing shot would not be lost among the
others, Mrs. Brown delivered what
was felt by many as the deepest cut
of all.

sis. are satisfied to be pleased with the
