Rainy Europe.

While this country has had two or
three very dry years, some parts of
Europe appear, according to statistics.
to be getting more rain every year.
Observations at the Observatory of
Paris show that from 1904 to 1924 the
average yearly rainfall was 502 MILL
meters tan inch is about rs milfi-
meters). In the next 20 years the
average was 507; then from 1S45, TO
1872 there was an increase to 525; in
the next 20 years 1t was 553, and in
the last 10 years the average has
grown to 584 millimeters--about 23h
inches.
The commonest theory to account
for this Is that the smoke and dust
rising from large city favor the
condensation of moisture. But this
theory runs counter to the experience
of London, the smokiest city OF Eu.
rope, where no such increased rain
fall Is recorded.
And in some of the mountainous
regions of France the increase has
been as much as 70 per cent, as
compared with 30 years ago.

SALOONS HIT FOR BIG sum
COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS UPHOLDS
THE NASHVILLE CASE.

the Privilege License From jan
uary !, 1909, to January
!, 1912.

Nashville.--The court Of civil appeals,
4hrough Judge H. Y. Hughes, rendered
an opinion in the Nashville saloon tax
case, in which it is held that the city
has the right to back assess on privi-
1ege license.
The amount involved in the suit to
compel the city comptroller to collect
saloon privilege taxes from July 1, 1909,
10 January |, 1912, is $4,000, in round
figures.
The court also holds that in the pres
ent attitude of the case the chancellor
b right in ruling that no attorneys
fees nor expense bills should be allowed,
although the court does not pass finally
on this matter, holding that contingent
cies may arise when it shall become
necessary to provide for these matters.
The case is remanded for further pro.
eeedings.
The style of the case ia State ex rel
vs.. Lyle Andrews ct ais, and, as above
stated, involves the taxes alleged to be
due from saloonkeepers of Nashville to
She city from July /, 1909, to January
4, 1912. The cause was originally
brought against Lyle Andrews, as city
comptroller, by certain citizens of Nash
willie.

my individual view," said DR.. Lillard,
"as to the duty of the State Board OF
Health is to see that the local health au-
thorities are given every aid in the dag
nosls and treatment of epidemic menin-
gifts. All other measures of'prevention
should be instituted and enforced by local
health authorities of both city and coun-
ty, and consist in modified quarantine
and isolation. Quarantine should con-
tinue for at least three weeks, or as much
longer as the acute symptoms are pres
ent. The quarantine need not be so
strict as in scarlet fever or smallpox, for
if the same kind of quarantine were in
stituted, an unnecessary hardship would
be imposed upon many individuals. Chill
dren in families where the disease is
present should be excluded form school
even longer than three weeks, and all
promiscuous visiting should be discour-
aged. The bread winner may continue
his occupation, but should stay away
from the children. All discharges, espe-
cially those of the nose and throat,
should be destroyed.
IF Tennessee had ssate laboratory
the diagnosis of all suspected cases could
be promptly confirmed, and many lives
could be saved. In emergencies like the
present that confronts us in West Ten
nessee, state biological laboratory
would be of incalculable benefit and aid
to the local physicians in making posi-
tive and quick diagnosis, thereby sup
pressing an outbreak and lessenin5 the

There is, however, no occasion for

proper remedy Is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
