UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

Our Tennessee Speople have always
been full of life and fun and that to
the expense of each other. Many years
ago, so the story goes, a North Carroll
ma tar heel was moving through the
eastern section of Tennessee in wag
on, the first that was ever seen in that
part of the state. Driving along one
day the tar heel noticed a man come
out of little log cabin and pursue
him, The fellow followed him several
miles when the tar heel stopped his
team and wanted to know of the man
why he was following him. The East
Tennessee hoosier said he wanted to
see the hind wheels of the wagon run
over the fore ones.
And that reminds me of my boyhood
days. We used to have what we called
debating societies. We would choose
up ard have judges to decide which
side won in the contest. At the By
ford schoo! house such a society was
organized and one Of the questions that
was to be debated was, (Which will
man go the fartherest for, the love
of money or the love of woman"
Much oratorical gas was expended, pro
and con, when the woman side put
forth gawk of boy. He arose,
cleared up his throat, and said, "Mr.
Chairman and Judges, All men love
money but they love women the best
They will walk across hell on rotten
rail for the small sum of five cents and
then turn around and walk back and
give it to a woman" and down he
sat. 1t is needless to say he won his
case for he did. Ever since he has
been known as the ''Womans Cham
pion." His speech was of few words,
but to the point and could not be refu-
ted. The old time debating societies
were amusing and entertaining and
sometimes eloquent.
We invariably, at the close of our
schools, would turn our teachers out
and force them to treat. The treat
was generally ginger cakes and cider.
| never see any ginger cakes now.
: Guess our cooks have lost the art OF
making ginger bread.
Now, is the time of the year wher
! everybody should drink sassafras tea
to thin their blood and keep off sick
ness There is not the least doubt il
my mind that the yarb teas of oul
mothers was better for the health o
the family than the nostrums concoct
ed by the present day doctors. Anoth
er thing, the old time preparations o
: food and teas was purer than of today
> consequently the people were yer,
S much healthier and stouter than the,

used and babies were "teaed" in plac

Rest is the great restorer. We tire
out muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet great many of
us do not stop to think how little rest
we give to our stomachs. As usual
thing no part of our bodies is so gener-
ally overworked as our digestive or
gans. A tired and over worked stom-
ach will give signs of distress to which
we pay no heed until at last Dyspepsia
takes hold. Indigestion is just warn
ing and if we heed the warning we
can easily avoid further consequences.

personal observations of the habits OF
cannibals, and especially those who
had recently been converted. me
most remarkable case was that OF To-
bogo, a native chieftain, who. accord
ing to the account given by the Rev.
Mr. Denison, had gone with his sling
into a neighboring village and killed
FIVE men against whom he cherished
q grudge. He carried all five bodies
back to his own hut and ate them one
by one. Shortly after this he was con-
yerted to Christianity. He then re-
turned to the village and made a
speech. Mounting a stump in the pres
ence of a vast assemblage, he said:
Once l killed my enemies. Again |
come with five stones; but they are
stones of love" He then read them
FIVE verses out of the Bible and re-
turned all the money he had stolen.
No one, said the Rev. Mr.. Denison,
has ever dared to cross the island of
New Britain, even at its narrowest
point, where it is only eight miles
wide. 1t is one of the most active
seats of cannibalism and has never
been explored ten miles from the
shore. The lecturer was told by relia-
Bile witnesses on the island that the
chieftains often killed as many as 200
persons at a time and hung them up
to keep, cutting them down one by
one as they were wanted. Tobogos
exploit of five bodies was one of the
milder cases. And after his CONVEX
sion he became so sensible of the error
of his ways that he sent message of
good will to the American people, tell
ing of his gratitude to the missionar-
les who had caused him to give up his
barbarous diet. Mr.. Denison also ex-
hibited a skull obtained from the top
of one of the poles. which are known
among the natives as tapu sign. He
was told that it had once been the
property Of boy who had come down
from the mountains and had been
knocked on the head for decorative
purposes. The skull is now on exhibit
ton in a store window in Central
square.

1t was clear that DIR. Carroll had yellow
fever, which ragged in his system for
the allotted period. The martyrdom of
Lazear occurred on September 25
1910, after an illness of one week. as
a result of yellow fever induced by the
bite OF stray insect in the hospital
work where he was engaged in infect
ing mosquitoes in his experimental
work of allowing them to bite yellow
FEVER patients. Although he had pre-
yiously allowed himself to be bitten by
an infected mosquito he had failed to
develop the disease in consequence of
of it, so that it was accidental rather
than part of the program that his
life was given as it was.
The nobility of the sacrifice made by
these physicians is strongly set forth
by DR.. Donally in his discussion. One
of the finest tributes ever paid their
work was that of DR.. Henry D. Holton,
in his address as president of the
American Public Health association.
in 1902, when he said:

they spring to the defense of their
country, always deserves and re-
ceiyes the applause of the populace.

field is made easy by martial music.

the infantry fire. and the advancing
