Why WEAK LUNGS?

The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave

Overwork, worry, weakness after sick

all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.

Mr.. J. nj. Mccain Celebrates His 18th
Anniversary.

Montgomery. La, June 10, 1914.
Editor Coitd1 Chronicle:
On the evening of June 5, 1914, four
generations assembled at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Mccain. at the
Ebenezer Camp grounds, to celebrate
the seventy fifth anniversary of Mr..
Mccain. 1t was indeed happy occa-
sion, bringing together under the pa
ternal roof, children, grand children,
and great-grand children, and the OPP
portunity to look backward, was not
forgotten, and many thrilling incidents
of the 'old ex-confederate veteran"
was told and listened to with great in
terest by all of US. At times his stories
would reach most pathetic point. and
had it not been for the comedy that be-
longed to the story, we would at times
have been melted to tears.
l have heard large portion of his
war experiences told over and over, but
somehow they never grow old, nor do
find it strange, for there is the true
spirit of patriotism, comedy and TRACE
dy interspersed in all of the details;
and for this reason every one of US
should doff our hats in honor of these
faithful soldiers, who are but few in
number now, and only few more
| 81 h., f<. he,
Let US not wait till they are in their
caskets, and then make our floral tri.
butte, but while they live, and are with
us in person, let US strew their path
way with flowers. All that we could
say or do, would be but faint praise fol-
the unselfish and heroic service they
have rendered our country.
Our war story was broken by the
sound of little bell in the dining hall,
we all knew what it meant, but We
were so 10th to break the story of the
Tennessee army that a personal re-
monstrance had to be made.
So the war story ended, and we went
into the dining hall where most
sumptuous spread was prepared, anc
many wishes for many happy returns
were made, by the guests. We feast
ed on the good things before US, aftel
which We were treated to some beauti
ful quartets of sacred music. and ther
closing the happy event with a bene
diction on the home and guests, oul
party enjoyed the benefcience of ,
quiet moonlight drive home.
In conclusion let me express my very
high appreciation of the Chronicle, be
cause of its great service to our parish
and entire State for so many years. al
