Crooked Breast In Chickens.

Crooked breast bones in chickens are
caused by the heavy birds roosting on
poles or fences. The bones of the young
birds are soft and are turned to one

e. G. q DRIVES OUT
oe9eoe BLOOD HUM0RS

The skin is not simply a outer covering of the body, but through its
thousands of pores and glands it performs the great and necessary work Of
regulating our temperatures. and also assists in dsposing of the refuse and
waste matters of the system by the constant evaporation that goes on
through these little tubes. To perform these duties the tissues and fbres
ished by pure blood. When from any cause the circulation becomes infected
with impurities and humors, it loses its Strengthening powers and begins to
disease and irrtate the delicate tissues, and produces Eczema, Acne letter,
or some other itching, disfguring skin trouble. S. S. S. cures skin diseases
of every kind by going down into the circulation and neutraliing and remov-
ing the impurities and hunors. 1t changes the quality of the blood from a
acnd, fiery fluid to a cooling, health-producng stream, which, instead of
irritating and infaming the skin, cures and nourishes it by its soothing,
healthful qualities. Salves, washes, lotions, etc, may be used for any tenn
porary comfort or cleanliness they afford, but skin diseases cannot be cured
until S. s. S. has purified the blood. Book on Skin Diseases and any med

A CONTRADICTORY RESULT.

Popular government very often
shows contradictory and almost IT.
reconcilable results. In the same
election and by the same voters re-
suits are not infrequently obtained
which manifest an almost opposite
judgment on the same issue. This was
the case in the Davidson county pri-
mary of Thursday. The liquor forces
concentrated their efforts to secure
the defeat Of Sheriff Johns and JEFF
McCarn, the latter a candidate for
prosecuting attorney. They succeed
ed in defeating Johns but McCarn was
elected. In other words the voters of
that county have elected a sheriff
who is not in sympathy with the re-
form element and who owes his sue
cess to the active and unanimous sup
port of the worst elements Of society,
while at the same time they elected
a prosecuting attorney who has been
one of the pioneers in the movement
Tor moral reform and regeneration.
This is a peculiar but not unprece-
Tented situation by any means. The

SOIL CONSERVATION.

Aside from the utterances of the
President, the most notable address
delivered at the recent conference of
Governors for the conservation of our
natural resources, was that of James
| J. HILL the great railroad magnate
and empire builder of the Northwest.
Although Mr.. Hills address was de-
cidedly pessimistic in tone it was that
wholesome, reasonable and construc-
tive pessimism that is calculated to
cause the people to halt for brief
period and lay the foundation for eff
forts which may lead to optimism
What he says of the waste of the Ma
tion's natural resources and of the
steadily diminishing supply of its wa
ter and minerals and the exhaustion
of its soil and timber is so manifestly
true and reasonable that 1t cannot be
denied. Experience has shown that
the Nations coal supply at the present
rate of exhaustion, cannot last for
ever. and the gulley washed clay hills
of the East and South demonstrate
more forcibly and eloquently than
statistics possibly could the truth of
the charge that our people have been
criminally negligent in allowing the
soil to waste and deterioate. This
nation must be perpetuated with all
its magnificent possibilities and OPP
portunities for future greatness and
prosperity, and its resources of the
mine and the soil must be so admins
tered that there shall be manifest a
greater regard to national economy
and less concession to individual and
private greed.
Although laying all proper stress
upon the necessity for the conserva-
ton of the mineral and timber wealth.
Mr.. Hill very properly insists that the
most pressing problem Is that of the
and restoration of the
soil. This is the problem, in the dis
cussion of which Mr.. Hill shows the
deepest concern and the darkest
ouch of pessimism. He points out in
plain and nnmistakable language some
'acts that are potent to any observer
md suggests some remedies that must
commend themselves to any thought

admirable address Mr.. Hlli says:
Equally threatening Is the change
n quality. There are two ways in
which the productive power Of the
earth is Iessened; hrst BY erosion and
the sweeping away Of the fertile serf-
ace into streams and thence 10 the
sea; and, second. BY exhaustion
through wrong methods OF cultivation.
The former process has gone far.
Thousands OF acres in the East and
South have been made unit for tillage.
North Carolina was. a century ago,
one of the greatest agricultural States
OF the country and one Of the fealth-
lest. Today as you ride through the
south you see everywhere land quilted
BY torrential rains, red and yellow
clay banks exposed where once were
fertile fields; and agriculture reduced
because its main support has been
washed away. Millions of acres, in
places TO the extent of one-tenth OF
the entire arabic area, have been so
injured that no industry and no care
can restore them.
Far more ruinous, because uni
versal and continuing in its effect, is
the process of soil exhaustion 1t is
creeping over the land from East to
West. The abandoned farms that are
now the playthings of the city's rich
or the game preserves of patrons of
sport. bear witness to the melancholy
change. New Hampshire, Vermont,
Northern New York, show long lists
of them. In Western Massachusetts,
which once supported a flourishing
agriculture, farm properties are now
for sale for half the cost of the i'm
provements. Prof Carver, of Har-
ward, has declared after a personal
examination of the country that 'Ag-
riculture as an Independent industry,
able in itself to support community,
does not exist in the hllly parts OF
New England
"The same process of deterioration
is affecting the farm lands of Western
New York, Ohio and Indiana. Where
prices of farms should rise by increase
Of population, in many places they are
falling. Between 1880 and 1900 the |
land values of Ohio shrank $50, 100000. |
Official investigation of two counties
in Central New York disclosed con-
lition of agricultural decay. In one
land was for sale for about the cost
Of Improvements, and $50 vacant
houses were counted in a limited
area. In the other the population in
1905 was nearly 1000 less than in
1856"

THE JACKSON INCIDENT.

Every fair-minded man who has
read Senator Carmack's reply to the
charges made by A. M. Alexander at
Jackson must admit that it was com
plete and convincing answer. He ut
terly demolished Mr.. Alexander's
charge that he had "lurked in Nash
vile and shirked his duty" when the
saloon fight was on at Jackson. Mr..
Carmack wanted to go to Jackson and
attack the saloons, but at the earnest
solicitation of Representative Askew,
who more than Mr. Alexander or any
other man, was responsible for saloon
abolition in Jackson, he consented to
remain at Nashville and lead the
forces against the infamous ripper
bill.
The writer was present and heard
DR.. William E. Thompson advise Mr..
Carmack to cancel his engagement at
Jackson, telling him that to leave at
that critical moment would jeopardise
the fight against the charter bill and
it was only upon the earnest assur-
ance of DR.. Thompson that a substi-
tute would be obtained that Mr.. Car
mack agreed to remain in Nashville.
Not only this Mr.. Carmack might have
gone still further into the matter,
After the election had been won at
Jackson and Senator Pope announced
that he would oppose the abolition OF
the saloons, a large delegation of rep
resentative citizens of that city head
ed by Judge S. J. Everett came to
Nashville to implore the legislature
to carry out the mandate of the peo-
pie. When this delegation reached
the Tulane Hotel, the very first man
to meet and greet 1t was Senator e.
w. Carmack. At the invitation Of the
members he addressed the delega-
ton and was received with great en-
.husiasm. A full report of this adj
iress appeared in the Nashville Amer
can under flaming head lines.
It developes that Mr.. Alexander had
10 authority from the Anti-Saloon
league to circulate his Islander
against Mr.. Carmack. The truth
bout the matter is that the members |
# that organization at Jackson who
lave contributed most to the temper
nee cause are lined up for Carmack
n this contest.

PROHIBITION IN OKLAHOMA.

Gov Patterson in his speech at
Waverly made an unusually savage
denunciation of, prohibition and re-
peated the ISLANDERS of his campaign
organs by declaring that oklahoma
was one of the wettest States on the
map" There is no justification what
ever for this statement. Oklahoma
has State prohibition and no liquors
can be sold there except for medicinal
and scientific purposes and these
must be sold under the direct super
vision of the State officials and by the
States own dispensaries. Efforts to
make the contrary appear true are
nothing less than wicked attempts to
deceive and delude. Liquor as bev-
erage cannot be obtained anywhere In
the new State and the Governors
statement shows that he is either ig-
norant or else he is willing to profit
by the SANDERS of his conscienceless
organs.
During the three months following
the adoption of prohibition in Okla
homa City the number of arrests were
S21 as compared with 1705 during the
three months preceding the closing
of the saloons. The arrests for
drunkenness we're reduced from AIS to
159, although the three dry months
with which a comparison is made, in
Guided December and the holiday sea-
son when there is more demand for
drinks than during any
other month Of the year. A law that
will reduce crime more than one-half
and drunkenness over 60 per cent is
not the farce that Gov. Patterson
would have the people believe 1t is. |

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
defends the outrageously unfair and
grossly partisan reports of its cor
RESPONDENT who is travelling with the
Gubernatorial candidates by saying
that he is the son of an old Confed-
crate soldier This is all the more
reason why he ought to be ashamed
of himself. The veterans of that army
taught for four long years for truth
and honor and there is not one OF
them who will not grieve to learn that
his son has departed from the high
and noble training which he gave him.
No man is to be excused who wilfully
and deliberately misrepresents the
facts. but the man who has been
taught to know better and who has
been reared by an old veteran who
wore the grey is much more repre-
hensible and more severely to be crit
icised than the man who was denied
proper training. There Is not Con-
federate veteran in Tennessee who
will agree that because a mans sire
belonged to the noblest band that ever
faced an enemies guns, he has a right
to lie.

TX FAE 10 -
In a double-leadsd black faced lead
- the Fdltor-Colonel Of the LewisbuTg
Tribune this week calls on the faithful
In Marshall county 10 rally around the
machine standard. Because Marshall
county has been honored By the Gov
ernor with the appointment Of a fer
tlizer inspector and a colonel Of the
army and navy OF Tennessee he tells
the Democrats OF that county that
they should overlook all other issues
and vote TO sustain Ham lest these
officials be separated from the offices
which they now hold. In some way
the valiant military hero of Middle
Tennessee journalism overlooked the
fact that Gov. Patterson has also APP
pointed a good roads delegate from
Marshall county. Probably he is
keeping this argument in reserve for
the final ante-election appeal.
Not temperance, not the machine,
not extravaganza and profligacy,-n
these are not the issues which con-
front the Democrats of Marshall coun-
ty. The Editor-Colonel gives it to US
ex cathedra that he main question to
be considered is that of rewarding the
pie brigade" The Democrats in that
county are expected to desert the tenn
perance cause and to embrace the in
famous primary plan merely because
Gov. Patterson has rewarded one or
two of his henchmen in Marshall
county with offices of minor impor-
lance. This. it, must be admitted, is
a somewhat unique plea and must be
predicated upon the idea that Mar
shall county Democrats are more con-
cerned with the distribution of the
spoils of Office than they are concern
ing the vital issues which affect the
welfare of the homes and the citizens
of Tennessee.
1t is conceded that should the next
administration separate Colonel Car
ter from the commanding position
which he holds in the army and navy
of the State, it would be most unfor-
tunate and would certainly jeopardize
the morale of the pie brigade" to a
marked degree, but We cannot admit
that his retention in Office is more i'm
portant to the State than the elm
nation of the saloons or the annihila-
ton of a merciless and corrupt po-
Iitical machine. While it is true that |
the Marshall county man may know |
more about the grades of fertilizer |
than Judge" Ayers, we are not even |
willing to concede that his retention !
in office is one of the paramount is
sues of this campaign.
Seriously, we have enough conf
lence in the intelligence and patriot
SIN of the Democracy of Marshall I

Colonel. Nine out of ten of the Dem
,crats OF that good county are wholly
