S. S. CONVENTION.
The Grundy County Sunday School
Convention Have Fine Meeting.

The meeting of the convention
Sunday at Lockhart Springs was
a pleasant occasion. The wealth
er was fine, the place delightful,
the singing under the leadership
of Mr.. Levi Woodlee was splen-
did and the addresses were enjoy
ed by all as we'll as the dinner
which was more than enough to
satisfy all. DR.. @. W. Hembree,
president of the convention,
presided. Devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev. IL. L.
SIMMER. Addresses were made
by Mr.. Prater, Rev. Sprouse and
Rev. Baxter. After dinner ad-
dresses were made by Mrs. Sum-
ner, and Mr.. L. V. Woodlee,
Gruetli Sunday school was re-
ported by Mr.. Prater and Coal
mont by Mr.. VIM. Creiton. The
president requested that each
Sunday school in the county make
a similar report to the next con-
vention. DR.. Hembree was re-
elected president. Mrs. Ii. L.
Sumner was elected ecretary
and treasurer. 1t was decided to
hold another convention at Lock-
hart Springs the first Sunday in
Sept. 1914. These conventions
held in the name of and for the
promotion of the Sunday school
work can be made more interest
ing and helpful if each pastor
and Sunday school superintend-
ent should see that delegates
are elected before the convention
and that they are instructed to
report the work of their school,
touching enrolment, average at
tendance, methods used, prob
lens in their work, etc.

Sure Signs of Death.

There is widespread belief
among educated persons that
burial while still alive is, thongt
not probable, at least possible.
AS evidence of this belief one
has but to notice how many per-
sons leave instructions in their
wills for the taking of special
precautions to guard against this
most dreadfal of catastrophies.
When embalming takes place,
of course, there is no possibility
of being buried alive, yet being
killed by embalming fluid in
stead of being allowed to revive
and spend many more years on
earth is not the fate one would
select.
Although there is but one IN
falllble sign of death-namely,
trefaction-yet there are many
other signs, no one of which is
incontrovertible, yet that when
taken together, even in the alb
sence of putrefaction, make the
diagnosis absolutely sure.
The heart may stop beating,
but this does not necessarily
mean that the patient is dead.
The writer recalls q case in his
personal observation when
woman's heart stopped beating
thirty-four times in twelve honrs
and each time was started up
agin by injections of brandy
and of nitroglycerin. That is
more than six years ago, and the
woman is alive and strong today.
LII is often very difficult to tell
the precise moment of death, but
when the heart refuses to respond
to stimulation. when the body
becomes rigid, when fhe blood
coagulates and the eyeballs be-
come flaccid and lose their ten
sion, then there is no doubt that
death has come. The greatest
safeguard against premature
burial is the length of time that
in this country elapses before
the body is consigned to the
ground,--Ne York World.

Sore Eyes Caused by Face Powder

Face powder has its dangers
the same as gunpowder. For sew
eral years occasional CAGES have
come under the observation of
oculists In which the patients,
invariably women, complain of
vision being blurred, inability to
use the eyes for any length of
time and severe itching of the
lids. The slightest rubbing of
the lids produces marked red
ness of the eyes and only aggra
Yates the itching. In severe cas-
es the lids are frequently swollen
from constant rubbing. There is
sticky, elastic secretion which
when being removed, pulls out in
long strings. Microscopic exam
nation of the secretion reveals
masses of what appear to be cry
stalls. Until recently no salts
factory explanation of the pres
ence of these crystals in the eye
has been given. Secretion tax
en- from the eyes of two sisters
suffering from this peculiar com
plant were submitted to the
professor of pathology of one of
Of the university medical schools
who found that the crystals came
from rice face powder. Seven
other patients in which the same
symptoms and microscopic condi-
tions were found all used the
same make of face powder. When
the powder is applied to the face
with puff portion of the fine
dust is driven upward and lodges
on the moist eyeball. The rice
powder in the presence of the
tears then becomes mucilaginous
in character and is not washed
from under the eyelids. The
powder produces the irritation,
which is aggravated by rubbing.
Those who use chamois-skin in
applying the powder are less H.
able to cause the fine dust to
arise, which probably accounts
for the condition not being found
in every woman using face powd-
err. The condition is quickly re-
lieved by flushing the eye with
boric acid solution. The irrita-
ton rapidly disappears when the
eyes are kept washed out with a
soothing eye.wash,

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

The Food and Drugs Act of Tennessee.

The Food and Drugs Act of
this State prohibits adding to the
food and drugs consumed in the
State deleterious ingredients,
and likewise enforces the sale of
such materials for what they are.
In other words, it prevents the
addition to them not only of
materials which are harmful, but
of those which are useless, and
the addition of which nnduly
cheapens the product without
notice to the consumer. 1t con-
series public heath by insuring
the purity of foods, conserves
public morality by making manu-
facturers tellthe trnth about their
goods and help to keep down cost
of living by lnsuring to all foods
the nutritive effect which proper
ly belongs to them. The con.
sumer's pocket is protected by it
because it prevents the sale Of
adulterated stuff at the price of
pure goods. Although not its pri-
mary object, it he's afforded to
the honest merchant The greatest
protection of any recent legisla-
tion, because it has brought out
from under cover the rottenness
of dishonest goods, so that mer-
chants now know the exact
character of goods sold by COM
petitors. la this way, it has Civ
en- liability to the food trades,
preventing illegitlmate COM
petition and minimizing the ef-
fects of trickery. Finally, it has
been one of the most potent of
the legislative agencies invoked
in that fight for justice to the
common people and for better
conditions of life, which has at
tanned such considerable dimen-
sions in the last decade but in
which so much more still remains
to be done.
Various phases Of the enforce
ment Of this law will be trated
in details, such as consideration
of the individual foods and drugs,
how they are made, and how they
are adulterated.
