The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-03-31

A complete history of Nashville,
from its earliest settlement, the first
of the kind yet published, will be
added to the supplemental reading
course for pupils of the Nashville
schools, the city board of education
having voted last Monday night to
publish the volume and add it to the
course. The board also decided to es-
tablish a coaching course of study
during the vacation months for the
purpose of teaching those who for any
reason were deprived of attending
school during the regular session, or
who may have failed in their grades.
Another action of the board was
that of fixing April % as health day"
in the schools, with instructions that
a special program of exercises appro-
pirate to the occasion be carried out,
and still another act was the creating
of the Office of medical inspector as a
permanent place. A salary of $100
per month was fixed, the board
stating that the duties of the Office
would be more definitely specified at
later meeting.
DR.. e. L. Roberts has served in the
capacity of medical inspector, but the
Office had been created only tempo
rarily, as an experiment. DR.. Rob
erts, in communication to the board,
stated that he had long desired to see
the department become a fixed part
of the system, and that with the ar
rangements for such he desired to
tender his resignation. Action on
the resignation was deferred, how
ever, by the board.
Those present at the session of the
board last night were President e. q.
Barthel A. e. Hill, Leland Hume, ST.
mon Leiberman E. J. Smith, Gus
Blodau, Supt. Keyes and Secretary
Van Deren.
After the reading of the minutes
work Of the regular session was en-
tered into, and the March pay roll
amounting to $29,959.S1, and accounts
aggregating $1,7SS,26 were approved.
Delegation of Negroes.
The board then admitted a colored
delegation from North Nashville who
had come to urge the dismissal from
Knowles school of one of the teach
ers, George Waters. These had en-
tered their plea formerly before Supt
Keyes, who. had requested that they
present in writing .or in some formal
way, their wishes to the board Wa
tiers, as will be remembered, was in
volved for time in the courts on a
criminal charge and the delegation
who are patrons of the school, claim
that Waters position in the school
by reason of this has quite a democrat
izing influence. They claim that they
represent q very large majority of the
patrons in the matter of protesting
against him, and stated further that
they had investigated as to his record
prior to the recent troubles. The del
egatlon was composed of Rev. w. A.
Lewis, DR.. R. H. Boyd, S. P. Harris,
DR.. ]. 3. Singleton, l.. Landers, Rev
w. S. Ellington, D. A. Hart and Henry
A. Boyd. The board stated that the
nature of the charges were such as
to demand investigation, and author.
lied the instruction committee in con-
junction with A. e. Hill to make the
investigation.

EXCELLENT NESTS FOR HENS
Those Made Of Metal Have Much to
Commend Them on Ground Of
Cleanliness and Sanitation.

The use Of metal and concrete in
the construction of all kinds of build
ings is gaining rapidly in popularity.
We see 1t not only in our houses, but
In the modern dairy barns and poultry
plants. This is brought about on
grounds of economy and efficiency;
metal Is stronger, wears longer, oc-
cupies less space, is immune to fire
and .nimical to insect life and dis
ease. For the latter reason its use
appeals strongly to the poultry breed
er. Metal perches, nests, and even
houses have much to commend them
on grounds of cleanliness and good
sanitation. Especially is this true Of
metal nests, row OF which Is shown
in the illustration. OF all contrivan-
ces the wooden box has proved itself
the home of lice and mites; It's crew
ices and cracks are the delight Of
these pestiferious enemies of fowl life.
To be sure the nesting material can
be changed and burned, the box
sprayed or fumigated but in spite of
all precaution few stray specimens
will escape in some crack or crevice
in the wood. With the metal nest

ON EXTREME PICTURE ORDER
Partisan Design for Young Girls
Evening Gown Can Be Made
charmlngIy Effective.

Picturesque styles have been hap
PLY received for some time. but one
of the gowns designed for summer
which has just arrived from Paris Is
so extremely on the picture order
that one wonders whether today's
smartly attired young woman will
really be willing to accept 1t. The
gown has plain. narrow skirt OF
thin batiste set on the belt with a few
scant gathers. 1t is very short waist
ed, and the bodice is almost entirely
concealed by huge fichu of the fin
est embroidered muslin. The fichu
reaches almost to the belt in the back
and crosses In front just above the
waist line. The sleeves are almost
entirely concealed by 1t also. This
model is now being copied in simple
evening gowns for young girls, the
materials of these gowns being either
soft silks or lowered chiffons or nets

Debts and War.

Russia and Turkey have agreed to
submit to the arbitration of The
Hague Tribunal their differences over
debts due to Russian subjects from
Turks at the outbreak of the war in
1877. War, according to the views
held by the older jurists, annuls all
contracts and obligations between
citizens Of the belligerent states. At
the present stage of civilization this
severe rule is no longer applied with
strictness; OF course, intercourse be.
tween citizens of warning nations is
suspended during the continuance of
hostilities, but non-combatant enc
mics are no longer expelled because
OF their nationality. and on the return
Of peace normal relations between in
dividual citizens of the belligerents
are resumed II was not to have been
expected that the Hamidian regime
in Turkey would adopt this enlight-
ened attitude; nor has the exact point
involved ever been definitely deter.
mined by any international authority.
The judgment of The Hague tribunal
would be tie first authority ruling on
the subject.

HELP IN POULTRY CHOLERA
important Experiments With Serum
Depend Upon Live Material
Specimens Arrive Dead.

Can poultry cholera be prevented
by injecting serum into the diseased
fowls? The serum method of treat
ment prevents cholera in hogs, and II
the case is in its first stages, will
cure 1t. But will serum work equally
we'll In combating the disease when
contracted by fowls? This is what F.
s. Jacoby, of the poultry department,
and w. X. Stouder, of the veterinary
department of the Kansas State Agri.
cultural college, are eager to know.
OF course they will use different
kind of serum, suited to the differ.
ences between cholera In hogs and in
poultry.
Inability to get diseased fowls to
operate upon is retarding the prog
ress OF experiments now being con.
Quoted to investigate this question.
Mr.. Jacoby and Doctor Stouder wish
to communicate with owners of fiocks
where the disease has started. The
only fowls received up to the present
died in transit. Few fowls live more
than three days after contracting the
disease. If they are not started to
the college In the early stages of the
disease they are likely to arrive In a
worthless condition for the expert
ment.

Baby's Sprino Bonnet.

Spring bonnets for very little babies
are made of white liberty satin. They
are close fitting, but the satin is fulled
on the crown, the band around the face
being plain. Embroidered side pieces
are set in, the most attractive design
is tiny forget-me-not wreaths. Where
the ribbon ties are set on there are ros.
cites Of the white SATIN in the center
Of which are tiny rosebuds. There are
other bonnets also of the liberty satin,
which have full crowns and the satin

Combination Metal Nests.

this is certainly not possible. The
only chance of infection is from the
bird itself to the nesting material,
which is of minor consequence, unless
lousy hen happens to precede a
clean one in occupying the nest.
Metal nests come in several pat
terms. One style is for hanging on
the wall from which it can be easily
removed and cleaned. Others are
made in combination as shown in the
illustration, also in singles and in
pairs and trios. For shipping they
are knocked down; their construction
Is such that no rivets or solder is re-
quired to set them up ready for use.

WHEN MEAT is COSTLY
SEVERAL WAYS IN WHICH CHEAP
CUTS CAN BE PREPARED.
Mock Chicken and Beef Loaf Made
From Round Stesk-Breakfast Dish
of Liver and Pork-Meat
Ole

Here are some ways in which cheap
cuts of meat can be prepared:
Mock Chicken.-One and a half
pounds of round steak, cut into small
pieces about two inches square; roll
In -four, put in roasting pan and fry in
butter till brown. Then remove from
stove, cover with cold water, add a
little -four, set in the oven and SIM
mer for three hours; stir occasionally,
and add more water as needed to keep
the meat covered. When the meat is
cooked 1t tastes surprisingly like
chicken. Thicker the gravy more II
necessary. Add salt about an hour be-
fore it is done.
Beef Loaf.-Three pounds round
steak, one-half pound salt pork, four
or five soda crackeS, one-half cup OF
milk. Add more salt If desired. Sea-
son with one-half teaspoon of ground
sage, or Glove or garlic, or few drops
of onion extract Mix into a loaf and
bake in oven. Basic occasionally.
Breakfast Dish.-Take five cents
worth of liver and ten cents worth
of cheap cut of pork and put in a
kettle together; cover with four quarts
of water, cook slowly for an hour, salt
after 1t has commenced to boil, and
stir occasionally. Drain off half of the
liquid and use for soup stock; it is
splendid. Place the remainder on the
fire and stir in enough yellow corn
meal to make as thick as mush. Run
the pork and liver through a meat
chopper, or chop fine. Season with
more Salt, sage and pepper, and stir
into the meal mush. Turn out into a
pan and set In cool place. Fry for
breakfasts; 1t will keep for week.
Meat Pie.-Get ten-cent neck cut
of meat; trim, place in kettle, cover
with cold water, let come to boil,
then simmer till done, keeping the
same amount of water on 1t. When
It is cooked, remove the meat, break
1t up in small pieces. season and
cover with stock, Thicker with -four.
Then pour the mixture in a basins
Make a dough as follows: Two cups
-four, one heaping teaspoon OF baking
powder, pinch Of salt, three round
Ing tablespoons OF lard, or butter: mix
we'll together, add enough milk to
make a dough that can be shaped
with the hands, press into fiat shape
and cover the meat in the basin. Bake
until done, about half or three-quar-
tiers of an hour. Half of the amount
of meat and stock will be enough for
four people. If all of the meat and
stock is used, double the quantities
for the dough. If only half of the
meat is used, the balance may be
made into meat cakes for breakfast
or luncheon as follows: Chop the
meat, roll three crackers, chop one
small onion, salt and pepper to taste,
one tablespoon of butter and one
egg. Beat the egg without separating.
