ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Nashville, Tenn, November ID
Now that the football elevens
representing Vanderbilt and Sc
vance have gone through the sea-
sou undefeated, enthusiasts on the
game are awaiting eagerly the an
nual battle between these teams
here Thanksgiving.
From all appearances it will be
he greatest game the South has
witnessed in many years, So far,
Vanderbilt has shown the strong
rst defense, having been scored
against only once, Mississippi get
ing safety and two points; Sc
vance has been scored against fire.
qnently, but she has also piled up
bigger scores against her opponents
than has Vanderbilt. Both teams
are vigorously claiming the victo-
ry. The most enthusiastic, how
ever are willing to grant that it
will be the great battle of the sea-
son.
Plans have been launched for a
great reunion Of the Vanderbilt AL
nmni Thanksgiving morning. AL
ready more alumni have expressed
their intention Of attending than in
any year previous. A large assem-
bly, room has been secured at the
Hermitage Hotel, and the alumni
will be given an opportunity to re-
new old acquaintancesa and gener-
al old-time jollification. Promi-
nent alumni and faculty will make
short talks, but the time will be de-
voted mainly to handshaking, re-
counting experiences all together.
The University athletic trophies
will be on exhibit, and cigars and
light refresh nents will be served.
Tickets for the big game went on
sale last week, and Prof Charles S.
Brown, who has charge of this de-
partment, declares that the advance
sale has SO far outstripped all pre-
vious records. A special rate of
one fare plus a third has been made
on all railroads. The Sewanee AL
umni promise to also turn out in
large numbers, and athletic fans
from all over the South are expect
to witness the big battle.

I'VE are for race industry" Our bu-
siness win never be turned over to q
trust controlled by white men The
game of comparison is the most natural
and human way of determining likes
and disIikes. Like Tifany'S Jewelry;
like Stetson's Hats and Marshall
Fields Dry Goods; so Emanuel Jack
son stands in funeral goods for quality.
We sell as low as the customer can
afford to purchase and as high quality
Of goods as can be purchased in Amer
lea. Glittering inducements to Chi
eagoans to hasten their approaching
demise, IN cases where it is at all i'm
minent, are held out by the new COM
bination of Undertakers. Sentiment and
love for departed members Of our
families and human ties are too strongly
bound for the public to believe the sim
cerety of their statements and adver-
tisements. The constant reminder, that
one dies quickly to take advantage Of
low prices, should have little sympathy
from the public. We do not bury any
white people because prejudice is too
strong. They will not employ, especially
of late years, any Colored undertaken.
Now If you do not like our manner of
doing business, employ some other un-
dertaker not controlled by white men
and have the benefits and profits of
your money going to combination
that does not employ one single Col
ored man in their lumber yards; fac
tory or oficie buildings.

CONSUMPTION Is A HOUSE OR
GERM DIsEAsE.

Consumption is house disease. 1t
is a germ disease. 1t is caused by the
germ known as the tubercular germ.
Consumption is most frequently con-
tracted by air contamination.
There are two kinds of dirty air /;
air that is contaminated because Of
having been breathed and laden with
carbonic acid gas. This is the case when
IN our houses or shops or work places
we do not have pure, fresh air. An
other kind of dirty air is that is con-
taminated with disease germs.
Consumption is usually spread
through spit. Doctors and sanitariums
are universally agreed that if there
were no spit there would be no con-
sumption.
The consumptive spits upon the floor
or upon the sidewalk; in time the spit
dries, still containing the germs Of
disease, which are caught up by the air
and blown about.
Air that contains the germs of con-
sumption is deadly air The mem
branous lining of the nose and throat
furnish just the proper lodging place
for the germs that are taken in through
these channels. The consumption germ
grows best at a temperature OF about
100 degrees. The lungs and nasal pas
sages have then, as you viii see, both
the degree of warmth and the moisture
that are favorable to the growth of
the germ
We cannot be too careful about spit
ting. In all shops, stores and work
places, cuspidors should be provided,
and these should contain an antiseptie
solution to receive the sputum- They
can then be washed and cleansed, their
contents being emptied into the sewers.
Splitting on the sidewalk and in public
places is a disgusting habit and II is
dangerous. If the germs of cOHsump-
ton are inhaled IN the dust with the
air which we breathe, it is almost GER
tain that infection viii follow and con
Sumption viii develop.
The Health Department has nothing
to do with the curing of disease. Our
work lies in the field of prevention.
When we think of sickness, we do not
think of medicine; we think of pre-
vention- 1t is prevention that we are
seeking to profit by.
There is no better way to prevent
consumption than to stop splitting on
floors and IN places where the sputum
viii dry and the germs be scattered
about for people to breathe.

GoRDoNs FAREWELL POEM.
The following poem was read by
Senator Gordon of Mississippi in his
farewell address to the senate recently
The dear old black nanny, so gentle
and tender,
So faithful and true to her trust
l loved her so well / dared not offend
her;
She is gone, yet honor her dust
From the wells of my heart arise tears
of regret;
Tho she sleeps meath the sod, 1 can
never forget.
She was lovely to me in her colored
bandanna,
With which she turbaned her head;
Her songs were far sweeter than flute
or piano
As she put me to sleep in my bed.
Her soft, grooming voice can never
forget,
Like an angel in dreams she comes to
me yet
We make our own sorrows the evils
of fate
When we take in our hearts malice,
ENVY and hate,
There IS good in the world. and we
may be sure
That q heart fun of love VIII keep
the soul pure,
When We cross deaths dark river and
reach the bright shore
Beloved ones win greet Us and vel
come rs Ger.
And while ii is given to dwell on thi.
earth,
No mater where may be the l.nd OF
our birth.
Our duty to God is, to DO All We car

ID SVAl % VI HHA6ntSNH
WHEREAS by the Pct of Congress
approved July 2, 1909 the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the If
teenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
WHEREAS a correct enumeration
of the population every ten years IS re-
ouired BY the Constitution OF the
United States for the purpose of deter
mining the representation of the sew
eral States in the House of Represen-
tatives; and
WHEREAS it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the interests of all the peo-
pie of the United States that this cen
sus should be a complete and accurate
report of the population and resources
of the country:
Now, therefore, l, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States OF
America, do hereby declare and make
known that, under the act aforesaid, 1t
is the duty of every person to answer
all questions on the census schedules
applying to him and the family to
which he belongs, and to the farm &C
cupied by him or his family, and that
any adult refusing to do so is subject
to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are required
from individuals only in orde to per
NIT the compilation of such general
statistics. The census has nothing to do
with taxation, with army or jury serv-
ice, with the compulsion of school at

any national, state, or local law or or
dinance, nor can any person be harmed
in any way by furnishing the informa-
ton required. There need be no fear
that any disclosure will be made re-
garding any individual person or his
affair. For the due protection of the
rights and interests of the persons
furnishing information every employee
of the Census Bureau is prohibited, I'M
der heavy penalty, from disclosing any
information which may thus come to
his knowledge.
/ therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete
ly, and accurately all inquiries ad-
dressed to them by the enumerators or
other employees of the Census Bureau,
and thereby to contribute their share
toward making this great and necessary
public undertaking a success
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ! have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
