Uncle Toms Letter

Affections and keep unspotted from the
world. JAS. 1-27.
Pure religion according to James is
fraternity and personal purity. The
world has got tired of religion which
only applies to a future state, we
want a religion that reaches man
here in this life and helps him now.
James lived among very religious
people tremendously, but their relig-
ion ne yer reached the heart to make
them merciful. loving, gentle and
kind. Jesus called them "whited
sepulchres. and said, "ye devour
widows houses and for pretense

We are living in an age of social
revolution brought about by a better
knowledge Of God and his teachings,
and the prophecies of his coming king
dom which are yet .unfulflled. The
great unrest of the world is produced
from this knowledge The Bible and
its teachings is being studied as never
before by the working men. Each ut
terance of the Saviour is eagerly
grasped and the slaves of this age and
generation demand more time to read
and worship Almighty God. "The
Kingdom of heaven" is the centra
theme of the socialistic doctrine, the
principles of which are summed up in
these words, do unto others as ye
would that others should do unto you.
The rule of love and fraternity is
the theme of Socialism. Socialism is
not the monster some represent it to
be. 1t would destroy all anarchy
Neither is it an enemy to pure and
undefiled religion and the home. How
can man be christian and not be
Socialist? How can you be brother
and exact tributs from a brother. l
say you can't do it. My friend, God
created this earth for all of his child
rem and it is wicked for you to up
hold a system that allows you to-
monopolize more of the creation of
God than is necessary to sustain your
life. Socialism stands for equality.
Peace with love is the ruling princi-
Pile of life.
All the prophets longed for this hap
py period to come. ask all unbeliev-
ers to search closely the Bible, and see
if the Socialists are not preaching
more of the doctrines of Christ than
any class of people under heaven. Do
as request and you'll discover new
world of truth and new policy of
government in harmony with the
"kingdom OF God. - Socialism is
preaching freedom and justice. Men
must be liberated and set free and
brought together and every lover of
God should do their duty. All texts
of Scripture uphold the doctrine of So
cialism.

More Than Enough is Too Much.

To maintain health, a mature man
or woman needs just enough food to
repair the waste and supply energy
and body heat. The habitual con-
sumption of more food than is necessa-
ry for these purposes is the prime
cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism
and disorders of the kidneys. If troub-
led with indigestion, revise your diet,
let reason and not appetite control and

Address to
Sunday Schools
Of Tennessee

The following letter has been sent
out by the Tennessee Anti-Saloon
League to the Sunday schools of the
state.
Nashville, Tenn, Oct 90, 1911.
Dear Superintendent:
We address you and your Sunday
School with regard to observing
Worlds Temperance Day, Sunday,
November 18th.
This is day which every Sunday
School should observe. On several oc-
casions the Tennessee Anti-Saloon
League has prepared programs for use
throughout the State on this day, and
the Sunday Schools have cordially CO.
operated with us in making it great
day, in fact have had an important
part in abolishing the legalized liquor
traffic from Tennessee. The Anti-Sal-
oon League has endeavored to repre-
sent them as we'll as the churches and
other moral forces. We are not send
ing out programs this year, but are
addressing to you this communication
with the request that you observe the
daynot only as Worlds Temperance
Day, but also as AntiSaloon League
Day.
We would suggest that strong ad-
dresses be made, and that the fact be
made clear that the combined liquor

pairing to repeal our temperance laws
by controlling the next Legislature.
While this is alarming, the greater
danger is in the feeling Of security
and inactivity on the part of our
friends. We must create stronger
sentiment for the enforcement of law,
and elect men to Office who cannot be
controlled by the liquor interests.
Shall we prepare to resist the at
tack of the enemy To do so success
fully we must have not only the moral
support and sympathy of the Sunday
Schools and churches, but also their
financial support. We, therefore,
earnestly request your school to appro-
pirate the collections of Sunday, Nov
ember 18th. to the State Anti-Saloon
League. We ask that special effort
be made to have liberal collection.
We promise the very best service
which the Anti Saloon League can
render in protecting and aiding in the
enforcement of our laws. The work
cannot be done without money. The
organization has no means of support
other than the volunteer contributions
of the Sunday Schools, churches and
individual friends of the cause. We
ask for your sympathy, prayers and
money.
Make check payable to Jno. T. Ben
son, Treasurer, and mail promptly to

Have your school adopt suitable reso-
lutions and forward copy to US with
report.

ALBERT DALE
SHOT DEAD
B. |. ArIedge, Father-in-L Law,
His Slayer.
KILLING THE RESULT
OF DOMESTIC TROUBLE
Wife of Dead Man Says He
Threatened to Kill Her and
Father and Mother and That
He Had Pistol When
Shot.

Albert Dale, an 9mploye of the
Chattanooga Sand and Supply Compa-
ny. was shot and instantly killed by
his father-in-law. B. L. Arledge, at
their home on Montgomery street, Hill
City, Thursday night at t1:40 o'clock.
The weapon used was single barreled
shotgun. Mr.. Arledge gave up imme-
diately to the officer who was sent af-
ter him, and pleads self-defense.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Dale, her father shot to protect his
own life and the life of herself and
mother. She claimed that Dale had a
pistol in his hand when her father shot
and that he had large knife lying on
thesstand beside their bed. The pistol
and knife were both picked up from
the floor beside the dead man.
Mrs. Dale stated that she and her
husband had retired for the night,
sleeping on folding bed in the dining
room He had been very jealous of
her, she said, and had urged her re-
peatedly to move down close to the
works where he was employed, in or
der that she might have an eye on her
every fifteen minutes of the day." She
said that she had been afraid of him,
and that while afraid to tell him that
she did not want to move, she was al
so afraid to move where he might
come in and carry out his oft repeated
threat to kill her, at any time. She
said that they retired about 10 o clock,
Thursday night, and that as soon as
they were in bed, he brought up the
subject of moving to her, asking her
to be ready to move Saturday. She
said that her reply was:
ALBERT, | would rather die than to
move away from here.
$50 you won't move, won't you'"
she says he asked.
81 was afraid to tell him that
wouldn' t, and was afraid to move, !"
continued Mrs. Dale, "but finally
told him that would not move"
"When / told him this" she con
tinued, he turned over and said,
We'll, l guess I'll kill that father of
yours first screamed for father,
telling him that Albert was going to
kill him, and then / ran out of the
room. Father came to the door with
gun, and Albert had his pistol, and
then papa shot. F"
When the officers arrived Dale was
lying in the spot where be had fallen,
the whole back of his head shot away,
the charge evidently having struck
him in the side of the head. A great
pool of blood had formed on the floor
and his head lay in this The knife
was on the stand beside his bed, and
the pistol lay on the floor close to his
right hand. Mrs. Dale said that Dale
had threatened on different occasions
to take Her life and the lives of her
father and mother, and that he had
said at one time that he intended to
give The Times something to write
about one of thesewhnornings" She
said that she had been the victim Of
his anger on numerous occasion, and
that he was continually quarreling.
In this statement she was borne out by
several of the neighbors who had come
in.
Mr. Arledge, who did the shooting,
seemed crushed by what he had been
compelled to do.-Chattanooga Times,

Says Archdeacon Wilberforce:
Wherever Paradise is it contains all
that made earth beautiful, transfigur-

we have right to conclude that the
animals other than man, some of
whom have been as dear to us as man,
will find their place in the Paradise of
God.

This candidate is the president OF

his first term. Now, President Taft
comes before Republican convention
again asking an approval of his ad-
ministration in the form OF a re-nom-

and select some one else the action
can only be viewed as complete
reputation of President Taft and his
entire regime in office. What will
the opposition say? II y will cry
it all over the land that We ourselves
have voted our leader, our party and

The regulars will hold that, if to
nominate Taft spells defeat, worse
defeat would follow the cl.Slve of any
other candidate.

insurgent leaders actually believe the

if convinced it would be good poll

DANGERS Of

| | FAT CURES
Various Ills Fow Of
possIfuI F|esh-Reduciag
Drugs

| New York, Nov S-Some of the Sc
crets as well as the dangers of the
so-called 'anti-fat remedies" are re
vealed in the Journal of the Ameri
can Medical association in the course
of an editorial article based on a
newspaper report relating that some
OF the society women at Newport had
suffered ili-health as the result of EN-
lploving one or other of these rem
edies."
1t would be interesting" com.
ments the editor, to know the name
iof the 'anti-fat' the women of this
laristocratic colony are using. 1t is
| probable that it is one supplied BY
some of the mail order quacks, the
main ingredient of which is thyroid.
,This drug is so much more effective
as flesh reducer than any of the
older ones that it has practically re-
placed the latter
Germany Restricts Its Use
But, like most effective drugs. it
has its dangerous side. A few years
ago, when Germany placed restric-
tions on tne sale of thyroid it was
common gossip that this action was
accelerated by the fact that some of
the first women of the country had
had an experience similar to that re-
ported from Newport.
Thyroid is said to be used more
extensively as an anti-fat than for any
other purpose. 1t is used as such,
and as some of the Washington Off
cials have found. as an ingredient
of many patent medicines. 1t would
be well for physicians to make inquir
les on this subject when consulted by
obese patients complaining of sleep
lessness, nervousness, palpitation and
gastric disturbances.
Patients are not likely to voiun
teer the information that they have
been taking thyroid and still less that
they have been patronizing somo mail
order house. In fact. we have heard
OF patients who recognized THAI th cir
troubles were due to drug OF this
class. and who believed it Joke on
the doctor because he had not sus-
pected it.
An Illogical Treatment
"The use of thyroid in obesity is
not only accompanied by danger, es-
pecially if the patient is not under
constant medical supervision, but it
is in most cases an illogical form OF
treatment. lit is recognized that it
is unsafe to make any material re-
duction in the diet, except in the fat,
during course of treatment, other
wise there will be a loss of body pro-
tein, as well as of fat and a loss of
protein seems to be closely associated
with the untoward symptoms often
observed
'In other words, in safe reduc-
tion cure by thyroid more food than
the body needs is taken; this excess
and some of the body's own fat Is
burned up under the influence Of the
thyroid The organs are thus forced
to do an unnecessary amount of work.
Patients should be warned that
the fat viii promptly return after the
tAyroid treatment unless they learn
to regulate their diet and exercise
and this regimen by itself
will accomplish a more satisfactory
reduction Of WEIGHT without the use
of thyroid" "
