in the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are
preventable with timely, intelligent
treatment.
These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, SCOTS Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in weakened system.
The tested and proven value of
SCOTS Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assiinilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
life-sustaining blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in tuber-
culosis camps because of its rare
bodybuilding, blood-making prop

alcohol or habit-forming drug.

Possibly some might think that
Superintendent McMahan has Of
ficial honors enough, but we call
the attention of the public to the
fact that he gets no pay whatever
for his service on the State Board
of Education or as a member of
the Textbook Commission. He
merely gets his expenses, but no
pay for his time and labor. Thus,
Mr.. McMahan is rendering his
State good and profitable service
for no compensation whatever.

To the voters of Cooke County:
In another space in this paper
you will note my announcement as
candidate for the nomination for
Representative to represent Cooke
county in the next session of the
legislature.
Several reasons have prompted
me in deciding to make this race,
and several reasons have suggest
ed to my friends that | should be
urged to run. In the first place
| know that can rely upon my
self because feel that have be-
hind me a clear record plus a
strong determination to serve my
county in an honorable way in
whatever capacity | may serve it,
and strongly do feel that way in
regard to representing my county
in the legislature. My many Re-
publican and Democratic friends
feel that, if elected, | would give
my county a square deal and
serve the people, to the full extent
of my ability, in a clean and bust
ness way. | am sure that ma
jority of them feel that all the
whiskey and Doodle in the world
could not induce me to vote
against or fight the strict enforce
ment of the prohibition laws, the
preservation of prohibition laws
and our honest election laws. be-
cause, there is no right way to
reason around such position, and
because common sense teaches me
that | am right and further be-
cause public sentiment from one
end of Tennessee to the other has
demonstrated that these things
are right and best for the mater
Iial, moral, educational and bust
ness welfare of the people of the
State. In the second place, be-
cause the above named matters
which will be issues before the
next legislature, a number of i'm
portant educational measures will
come up for passage and here,
especially, is where should like
to take strong and steady stand
for | know that such a position
would be very much to the inter-
est of Cooke County, as well as
every other county in Tennessee.
should favor a clear revision
of the compulsory attendance law

which are not readily understood,

should favor the bill heretofore

Boards of Education the authority

A gas explosion blew a house into
the air at Coburg, Germany. the other
day. Thirteen persons we're killed and
six injured by the collapse. The ex-
plosion occurred while some workmen
were searching with a candle for an

into the air, six families being buried
under the ruins. There we're twenty

children, and two of the latter were

Atchison common continues to advance,
making new high prices almost daily, and
Wall street looks on and complains OF the
lack of speculative opportunity and initia-
tive. The absence of speculative activity
N Atchison is none the less remarkab Die
because the reasons for the present move
ment have been entirely obvious for
weeks. Every one knows that Atch son
will benefit enormously from big crops
and that judging from present agricultural
prospects the road will have the biggest
year in Its history In 1915. Even Presl-
dent Ripley can see nothing too seriously
wrong with the outlook The fact OF tho
matter Is that there hasn't been any
speculation in Atchison to speak OF for
years. The stock Is conspicuous for that
reason. 1t has not been exploited by "A
speculative clique like so many other lead

Atchison Ia not a speculative favorite at

Missouri Pacific Affairs.

A week or so ago cable dispatches
quoted Robert Fleming of London as
making some rather pertinent remarks
on the Missouri Pacific situation In an
address before the stockholders OF the
Investment Trust Corporation. Mr..
Fleming suggested the imposition of an
assessment OF $50 a share on the stock
as n method OF placing the road on a
basis of permanent solvency, This view
was widely commented upon at the time.
II Is gaining prominence again princi-
pally perhaps because interests supposed
TO be close TO the Missouri Pacific man
agement have bee industrlously clrcu-
iating copies OF the speech OF Mr..
Fleming with particular attention directed
to the feature OF the proposed assess.
ment Wall Street Ii wondering whether
there is any especial Significance in this
incident: whether Mr., Fleming's remarks
were TO some extent Inspired or whether
his opinion just happens TO coincide with
the intentions OF the management, Talk
OF q heavy assessment on Missouri Pa
cifc stock Is none the less interesting
because OF the report that the Gould
family unloaded Its holdings OF tho stock
early this year.
