MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation improved, but Further Work
10 Needed to Stamp Out
Tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi. Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention Of Tubercu-
losis was organized there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives ex.
listed, and the entire number OF beds
in the United States was only 10000.
while these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association. in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one Of the 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words.
We have from 250.000 to- 100000 con-
sumptives In this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
II tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
of infection must be provided"

ALLISON MAY BECOME
CANDIDATE FOR SENATE

Nashville, June 1-Anent the rumors
that Chancellor John Allison, of Nash
Vile, would be candidate either for
governor or United States senator this
year, the chancellor said today:
"From time to time during the past
several months | have been approach
ed by quite a number of friends, and
have also been written to, suggesting
(and some urging) that | become a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion for governor, and Others that 1
become a candidate for United States
senator
"To each and every one of them my
answer has been that under no circum-
stance would | become candidate for
governor, and that | would not enter
the contest for senator because | had
told the late Senator Robert l.. Taylor
that | would favor and support him
for reelection. Since the death of SEN
ator Taylor have been, and am being,
urged to become a candidate for senator
for the term beginning March 4, 1913.
AS to whether l shall do SO depends
largely upon the views and advice of
democrats throughout the state.

ELEVENTH SESSION
SUMMER SCHOOL.

The eleventh session Of the summer
school of the south, at the university oi
Tennessee, Knoxville, which begins
June 18, embraces a broader and more
comprehensive scheme of instruction
than ever before. In addition to the
usual features, which aim at the train
ing of all classes of teachers, from the
primary grades through the high
school, with special courses for princi-
pals, supervisors and superintendents,
there will also be special courses TO
meet college entrance requirements,
and a large number of courses for
which college credit will be given.
Among the special departments, atten-
tion should be called to certain features
of more than usual interest.
The courses in nature study and agri-
culture, which have been SO successful
ly conducted for the past few years by
the college of agriculture, are again TO
be given. They constitute an unusual
ly attractive short course in agricult.
ure. -Four free scholarships are offered
to the teachers of each county in Ten
nessee who wish to undertake this spe-
cial work. Free admission to all the
features of the summer school are in
cluded in the provisions of these schol-
arships.
For the first time free scholarship
is allotted to each city and county su-
perintendent in the state to be awarded
by them to one of their teachers who
wishes to do special work in manual
training and drawing. A similar
scholarship is available in each city
and county for work in domestic SCI
ence and domestic art. The courses in
these two departments have been great
ly enlarged and strengthened to meet
the growing demands for training
along these lines.
Another special feature, which is at
tracing much attention, is the demon
stration class of children to be taught
according to the methods of Madame
Maria .Montessor. Montessori's meth
ods, which have become so famous the
world over, bid fair to revolutionize
thesmethods hitherto in use for early
training of children. "The house of
childhood" as her schools are pictur-
esquely and sympatheticalIy termed,
have met with the heartiest approval
by prominent educators IN this country
and abroad. The course is TO be con-
Quoted at the summer school by one of
Madame Montessori's official represen-
tatives, and will be complete in every
detail.

LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY
IN THE SOUTH.

Atlanta, June 3.-Supplementing the
active campaign it is carrying on fol
the promotion of the live stock indus
try in south, the Southern railway
company has issued booklet contain.
ing much valuable information on the
selection and raising of horses, mules,
cattle, sheep and hogs, which will be
distributed among farmers of the south.
This booklet was prepared by f. l..
Word, live stock agent of the Southern
railway, with headquarters in Atlanta;
who for the past year has been endeay-
oring to interest farmers all through
the south in raising more live stock.
County and state fairs and live stock
associations are suggested as good
means for creating rivalry among far
mers of different counties and allowing
them splendid opportunity to see and
study the best types and breeds.
Mr.. Word will gladly assist any far
mer living along the lines of the South
ern railway in improving the character
and increasing the production of do
mestic animals on the farm, his serv-
ices being without charge. The book
let will be sent to any one addressing
him.

DAILY PARLoR
CAR SERVICE

The travelling public will be pleased
to learn that the East Tennessee and
Western North Carolina railroad will,
within the next few days, put in serv-
ice on its regular passenger trains be-
tween Johnson City and Cranberry a
new parlor car, "Azalea," just built
for this company at Chicago Heights,
Illinois.
The "Azalea" will have all the COM
forts and conveniences of the modern
parlor and observation cars operated
by the trunk lines on their through
lines.
A nominal extra charge of fifteen
cents for distance of fifteen miles and
under, and twenty-five cents for over
fifteen miles will be charged for a seat
in the parlor car In view of the large
sum expended TO provide up-to-date
facilities, the additional charge is very
reasonable.
II will be recalled that the E. T. &
w. N. Z. in October, 1908, voluntarily
reduced its local passenger rates from
four to three cents per mile. The man
agement has every reason TO believe
that this voluntary reduction was ap-
preciated by the travelling public. 1t
is now in recognition Of the rights of
its patrons to better accommodations
in the way of train facilities that the
improved service was decided upon.
1t is believed that the parIor car will
at once become very popular.

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by conStltu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
eustachian tube. When this tube Is inf1amed
you have o rumbiing tound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed. deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces
