Telephones
Have Succeeded the Telegraph
Along the L & N Road.

The installation of tele-
phone equipment on both dis
patching and message circuits
has just been completed on
the Knoxville Division of the
Louisville & Nashville. This
railroad is one of those which
has lately been supplanting
the telegraph for the work of
handling train movements,
substituting the telephone,
which because of its greater
accuracy, speed and safety
has lately come into favor
among railroad managers.
The new circuits in Tennessee
and Kentucky have been in
stalled as follows:
Between Knoxville, Tenn,
and Corbin, KY, los miles,
dispatching circuit with 19
stations; between LaFollette,
Tenn, and Etowah, Tenn,
la miles, message circuit
with 36 stations. The circuits
connect with the Pine Noun
tain, Olive Spring and Mays
vile Branches.
These lines haye been
equipped with the best grade
of copper wire, telephone and
solicitors furnished by the
Western Electric Company.
Work trains and repair trains
are to be equipped with
portable telephone sets, which
used in connection with
special line poles will make
it possible for the employees
to get into immediate touch
with either the dispatcher OF
the message operator.
The equipping of this divi'
sion with telephone circuits
has been done at an expense
amounting to about $50, 900.

ment to the young man to
stay with the schools. Some
few of the teachers shift from
one district to another. and
this changes the mailing lists,
even though the teachers do
not actually quit their work.
The constant changing of
teachers is said to be a bad
thing for the schools of the
State, and the department of
education will try to devise
some plan to keep the teachers
in their schools. The depart
ment heads admit the Difficult
ty of the task, out are doing
what they can to counteract
the tendency to leave the

AN ALL AROUND ORDEAL.
When Papa Was Getting Ready to At
tend a Banquet


Papa was going to banquet. It
was unusual for him to attend ban
quets-so unusual, in fact. that the
children had boosted of 1t for a week
to all who would hear.
Now it was the night Of the ban
quet, and papa was getting ready, and
the once quiet and orderly house was
much upset.
run on out" said mamma, "and don't
bother your father while he's dress
ing" Papa was shaving and at the
same time committing a speech to
memory in case he should be called
upon for something imprOmptu.
The tiny trickles Of blood down his
chin showed where the speech was
getting the better part Of his atten-
ton. On the bed lay a clean white
shirt, and across a chair hung papa's
dress clothes. He hadn't worn the
dress clothes for two years and was
considerably stouter now.
After awhile the children, crouch
ing interestedly at the door, heard en-
tertaining things.
"ConfOund the shirt!' howled papa.
81 know l washed my hands, but the
neckband's all dirty" Mammals voice
scotched him.
Through the keyhole the children
saw papa struggle into his coat. The
stiff shirt rose almost 10 his ears, and
high collar nearly sawed them of.
"Doggone itr' walled papa. "The
sleeves of this coat are a mile too
short"
Then his shoes hurt him; he couldn't
get his tie fixed right; his handker-
chief was hopelessly massing, and final
ly he stood miserably in the middle of
the floor.
His face was red, the perspiration
poured down his nose, his thin hair
stood up, and he was about the most
uncomfortable looking person the chill
dren had ever seen.
'Now, then" said mamma, with a
sigh, you're fixed. You have no idea,
dear, how nice you look"
ooh, yes" papa snarled, 81 look nice.
1 don't think" Then he found his hat
and a light coat and stalked stifiiy and
uncomfortably out. The children, hid
ing behind the stair railing, saw him
depart.
Gee" said the little boy. when

Curing Catarrh
Accept Our Advice and Try
this Remedy at Our Risk

Calarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane is,
one may say, the interior lining of the
body Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane. inflammation
and congestion are produced and nature
fails to throw off the accumulated
poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should.
The result is, complication upon COM
plication, which may lead to other even
more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu.
Tonic will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh. and
his great success with this remedy was
an enviable one.
We want you if you are a sufferer
from catarah in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-Tonic a thorough trial
Use it with regularity and persistency
for a reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell us, anC
without question or formality we viii
hand back to you every cent you paiC

that any one could make and SHOULD

Turkeys
Will be Plentitul this Season
In Kentucky.

An overproduction Of
turkeys. No, this isn't the
fantastical dream of the mar
ket reporter but the actual
truth. All over the south the
turkey crop this year is larg-
er than it has been for ages
and that very necessary
piece on the Thanksgiving
dinner table will cost less
than the cranberry sauce or
the mincemeat for the pies,
AT present turkeys are
worth II cents a pound but
the price will go to 15c before
Thanksgiving. However, the
low prices viii prevail
throughout the holiday season
and will hardly go over II
cents at the height of the
season.
In the south the turkey
crop is reported to be % per
cent greater than normal
while in the northeast there
is a 10 per cent scarcity.
The north and west report a
normal output.
Domestic turkeys, or those
raised in this end of the state
are selling for II 1-2 cents on
TO 1T, with more offered than
bought.

the flesh Of the elephant is a favor

elephants foot is a choice morsel.
In Upper Egypt and in Siam croco-

The green lizard. though Americans
usually associate him with slime. is
enthusiastically relished in the South

really relish their soup unless it has

Dr. Evan G. Shortlidge, president of
inc Board Of Education, last night in

only contributing causes which keen

the opinion that many of the chill

the grammar grades, because thew visit
theatres In the city too frequently. He
also contended that boys engaged i'm
carrying market baskets on narleet
days allow this work to interfere with

DR. Shortlidge made this statement
following a report made by DIR RucIS-
master, of the health committee on
the conference held by the phvsician
members of the board and the members
OF the Board Of Health on last sat

animation Of the children in the public

to make about March l.

because OF sickness in the family.
Or. Shortlidge said that If the board
had right to make an examination
or the school children for physical de-
fects It also had the right to investi-
/ gate further into the causes which
make children backward in their

SUGGEST MULES AS
ARMY CHARGERS

A writer In the Army and Navy Jour
nal renews the suggestion that mules
be substitute for horses for cavalry
remounts. why not? The modern ten
dency is to eliminate everything of the
pomp and circumstance OF glorious war
and to place the whole military arm OF
the country on a strictly utilitarian
basis. Gone from the field OF active
warfare are the shakos, the cooked hats
the spaulets, the gold lace, the flash
ing sword. An army In the field is
equipped like a lot OF day laborers en-
gagged In ditch digging, and the officers
can be distinguished from the rank and
ile only as the straw boss Is distin-
guished from those with whom he
works-by his more lurid and pictu-
rescue vocabulary.
1t is IN the strict line OF progress to
10 eliminate the war horse. the theme
OF one Of the greatest as well as the
oldest OF known poems. He goes out
with the fuss and feathers and for
the same reasons. To replace the ira
dictionary war horse with the humble
and necessary mule, 'the short and
simple animal OF the poor" as some
irreverent parodist styles him, will help
toward bringing the soldier TO the plane
OF other men engaged in necessary
but repulsive work.
