MRS. K ?. JONES WRITES
ON TUBERCULOSIS CURE

Mrs. X. P. Jones of Maryville, State
Chairman of Tuberculosis of the Ten
lnessee Federation of Womens Clubs,
while in attendance at the binennial
/ at Chicago, spent much of her time in
health conferences and interviews
with tuberculosis specialists. She
writes to the Banner:
Il was greatly impressed with the
importance given to prevention meas
ures in all classes of disease, and es-
pecially tuberculosis. We in Tonnes
see have been, pursuing the proper
course in educating the public as to
the danger of infection, and the great
Importance of keeping the body in
good condition, of an abundance of
pure air, day and night, of plain. nour-
ishing food and total abstience from
alcoholic drinks. Our educational cam
paign by the distribution of literature,
articles in local papers, talks by ply
sicians in the public schools, tubercu-
losis films in the picture shows, war
against the dangerous housefly, ETC.,
must continue with undated zeal
With all these efforts, however, | am
convinced that without proper hospi-
tai Accommodations for consumptives,
the task of reducing the death rate
from this disease is well nigh hope
less. If the estimate that one con-
sumptive who remains in the home
gives the disease to six other persons,
is correct, our state has little chance,
to reduce its alarming rate until we
have tuberculosis hospitals in every
large city and county in the state. To
accomplish this our people must be
aroused to the tremendous economic
loss to Gus state which this scourage
entails.
'The valuable article on tuberculo-
sis in Tennessee by DR.. H. H. Shout
ders, State Registrar Bureau of Vital
Statistics of the Public Health De-
partment, which appeared recently in
our leading daily papers, should be
carefully read by every one. In this
article is tabulation of the deaths
from tuberculosis by counties, and it
is of vital Importance to the welfare
of our state. Who can tell how much
the material prosperity of Tennessee
is retarded by this well known high
death rate? We in Tennessee are not
alone in our struggle with the Great |
White Plague" DR.. t. B. Saches, Chi |
President of the Municipal Tubercu- |
losis Sanitarium, said there were near
ly four thousand deaths in Chicago |
last year from tuberculosis, with |
about fifteen thousand confined in hos
pitfalls and rooms. In Chicago, how
ever, as all over the country, greater
effert is being put forth in all lines,
both of prevention and cure Great
is given that with uni
ted effort tuberculosis can be banished
from our land as completely as have
been cholera and yellow fever"

NEWsBOY WHO'S WHO.

A young Nashville woman who is
interested in several philanthropies
and particularly in the welfare OF
children, was busy at her desk one
Thursday in May, when small voice
omanating from a still smaller person,
wanted to sell her weekly paper
and after the proper exchange q pa
per AID nickel, she entered into con-
versation with the youngster, who in
terested her amazingly. His shrewd-
ness and business ability, despite his
diminutive size, warmed her heart, and
she determined in her own mind to do
something for the child.
SO she made the customary inquir-
les: Was his mother living-yes. Did
he help her-yes. Was his father liv-
ing-yes. Did his father have job
yes. Did he get good wages and take
care of the family-yes. Oh, yes, he
did not seem to know how much
wages, but certainly the family was
we'll taken care of. Did not know
whether it was a steady job, but, yes,
1t was q good one.
WELL" she said, what does he do;
what is his job?"
why, he's Governor of Tennessee
said the tittle boy, gazing back at his
inpuisitor.

nor and Mrs. Ben w. Hooper-The

So treatment can compare in value
with prevention. But if preventive
measures fail and your baby is at
tackled with diarrhoea send at once
for your physician. Until he arrives,
stop all food If the coming of the
doctor is delayed, start cleaning the
poison from the system. with cathar-
tics. Castor oil is best, Doses to 6

the calomel in tablets of lilo of a
grain each. Dissolve tablet in water
and give every fifteen minutes until
full dose has been taken. Five hours
later, give castor oil or citrat of mag
nisia to carry off the calomel. Inject
one quart of warm water in which one
teaspoonful of salt is dissolved, into
the lower intestine or colon to wash
out the poison. If temperature causes
thirst, do not give milk or cold water
Give sips of boiled water as hot as
eht baby will take 1T. Do not give
paregoric, soothing syrup or patent
medicine of any sort.
Show soon after the attack sub
sides. can child be given regular
feelings?
Not for at least two weeks after The
attack subsidies. In the meantime, be-
gin feeding in very small quantities.
A breast-fed baby should be allowed
to nurse only a few minutes, instead
of the full twenty minutes. A bottle
fed baby is given rice water or albu-
men water first, then boiled SKINNED
milk with rice water. Gradually in
crease the milk and reduce the water
until the regular schedule of feeding
is resumed.
Show can I protect my baby from
summer complaint?
There is no infallible rule. Keep
the food and all utensils in which it is
prepared Immediately clean. Keep
the baby cool and clean. If he is old
enough to drink water, give him only
water which has been boiled and then
cooled in stoppered bottle.

1i-what is summer complaint?

H-What is summer complaint?
This is the general term used by
mothers and others outside the medi-
cal profession to describe all forms
of diarrhoeal diseases in infants dur
! ing the hot weather. 1t indicates
poison in the digestive organs and the
intestines, 1t is generally divided by
physicians into three classes or de-
grees of seriousness, mild diarrhoea,
acute diarrhoea and cholera infantum
Fully two-thirds of the 100000 babies
under year of age which die annual
ly in the United States die from
diarrhoeal diseases or complications.
2.-Is it caused by heat?
Not by heat directly, but by the eff
feet of heat on food, particularly
milk. Bacterial poison develops
quickly in hot weather.
SIS it infectious?
Yes, it can be carried by flies. Ba-
bies should be protected from flies the
year round, but especially in summer.
Diapers worn by babies suffering from
diarrhoea should be plunged into a
pail of water to which carbolic acid
has been added, and left there for
twelve hours. Better still, old linen
or cheesecloth can be used and
burned.
As it caused by teething?
No, but it often appears when a
child is teething, because some of the
largest and most troublesome teeth
appear during the baby's second sum-
mer. Also because the child, being
partially OF wholly weaned at this
time, is given food which it should not
have.
5.-What is the commonest cause?
Impure milk After that, milk or
any other food, improperly prepared;
overlooking, unsanitary surroundings;
lack of care.
6.-What are symptoms of summer
complaint?
Restlessness; drawing up of legs in
pain, sharp piercing cries; followed
by fequent movements of the the bow
els, increasing from four to twelve
day, and changing from yellow to
greenish-yellow, then to bright green,
with perhaps frothy look. 1t the at
tack is not checked, the temperature
rises to 1903 degrees, tongue is coated
and dry, eyes dull and sunken, face
pinched and drawn, bowel movements
as frequent as twtenty day, rapid

Nothing is more enjoyable than
porch pillows for the hammocks OF
easy chairs, and balsam pillow is
more delightful than any other.
The odor quiets the nerve, refreshes

A pretty slip for such a pillow is

Hay May Go
To Indies

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE hay
crop this year will yield 69,000,O0O
tons a bumper crop. If the foreign
markets are closed to the United
States. a market will be found in the
West indies. These islands have been
purchasing from Canada, but should
England put an embargo on Canadians
hay and take her crop, the United
States will furnish the Indies. Hay IS
a contraband of war. but, with Eng
land ruling the high seas, commerce
may be resumed and the hay crop OF
the United States could be marketed.
1t is pointed out that the market for
hay and its valuation has changed
greatly in late years. Formerly the
hay was all taken to market and its
value set by that Now, the farmers
are feeding hay to their cattle and
marketing the milk, which puts new
phase On hay values.

for export, and there is particularly
large increase in the demand from
Cuta and some of the Central Ameri-
can states for ducks and cotton goods.

bills will be paid is that of shipping.

needs, in that line, more than three
hundred thousand pounds of Brooks
county bacon, and because the demand
for Brooks county hams and bacon
was so much in excess of the supply
the farmers of the county this year
have gone much more heavily in the
hog business than ever before in the
history of the county, and the county
win produce at least six hundred
thousand pounds of bacon for the
market, and the present indications
point to the fact that hog meat will
