Grim and Silent in the Trenches.

sit was as though some blight
from heaven had decended upon
the German ranks, smothering
them in an embrace of death, "
declared a member of the Ameri-
can branch of Red Cross, who
came to Paris today, after visit
to the battlefield near Meaux.
He had gone with an ambulance
to collect wounded soldiers and
thus describes the scenes which
met his eyes.
81 saw trenches filled with Ger
man dead, just as they he'd been
left by the French guns. 1t was
not so much the mere sight of
death that was so appalling; it
was the outlandlsh pastures of the
rigid corpses and the look upon
their faces. Since the angel of
death passed above the camp of
the Phillistines, | am sure moth
ing like it has been seen. 1t was
as though some blight from hea-
ven had descended upon the Ger
man ranks, smothering them in
an embrace of death.
dawn was just breaking as |
came upon the trenches where
the fighting had been bloodiest.
The gray light rested upon ghost
like silence. Clusters of corpses
with rigid arms and legs protrud-
ing filled bottom. Along the rim,
with Htle to shoulder and head
bent along the barrel stood line
of dead. They died as they stood
upon the firing line and their bod
les were held in an upright posi-
tion by the bodies behind and
around them.
sit was a CHASTITY sight. Upon
the faces of many were no express
sions of fright or horror. Except
for the glaze of death In the eyes
one would not have guessed that
their souls had passed the bound
airy of eternity. Never have
seen anything so terrible as that
erect, silent company of still fig.
ures in the chill of the dawn
with the quiet of a fresh early
day all about. "-Sumner County

If You Wish To Help The Town.

Don't fail to sound its praise
wherever you are.
Don t make your money out of
its citizens and spend it some
where else.
Don't frown on every public
improvement simply because it
will cost you a dollar or two.
Don't sheer at the effort of your
fellow citizens to build up a town;
but lend a hand yourself.
Don't stay at home on election
day but get out and hustle for
goob men and good government.
Don't talk a great deal of what
should be done and remain on the
back seat waiting for some one
else to do it.
Don't say the public school is a
failure because your boy has been
upsetting the schools dlcipline
and has peen punished for it.
Don't let a good local paper
that's the towns untiring cham
pion abandon the champion bust
ness because of the lack of deserv-
ed patronage.
Don't repeat all the neighbor-
hood scandals you hear without
the parting injunction "not to
tell"
Don't spend your money in
neighboriDg town for drinks and
then ask your home merchant to
give you credit.
Don't forget that in building up
the town, hearty co operation,
united and spirit of get there
are what win the day. There is
no pull like long pull, strong
pull and a pull all together.

According to dispatches from
Washington, the name of j. V.
Walker, who was twice nominal
ed by the President for Post
Master at Tracy City, was with
drawn last Monday. Mr.. Walker
was backed for this position by a
large per cent of the democrats of
this community and his nomina-
ton was sanctioned by Congress-
man John A. Moon, but he was
stoutly opposed by republican
contingent headed by Luke Lea,
whose opposition to Mr.. Walker
grew out of the fact that he re-
fused to be controlled by Lea and
Hooper dnring the last legisla-
ture of which he was a member,
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-09-24

Every young man should re-
member that if his income is Just
a little above his expenses every
day he will in time become we'll
off. If his receipts daily lack a
little of meeting his expenditures
he will in time become candidate
for public favors at the poor house.
Honest work at any calling, and
snch economy as the case re-
quires, is honorable; while idle
ness and spendthrift habits are a
disgrace to anyone, young or old.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-09-24

When we get to the bottom it is
doubtful if there is millionaire
in the country who has observed
the golden rule in the amassing
of his fortune. He has lobbied
legislation; he has beat the people
out of franchises; he sold impure
food, he has inferior goods in the
market; he was sold at extortlon
prices; he has paid starvation
wages.

WEEKLY CHATS WITH CONSUMERS
Given by Tennessee Food and Drugs
Department
By Lucius P. Brown, Commissioner.
Rotten Foods.

NOllCll 1OoAo'
The Food and Drugs Act de-
clares that any food material is
adulterated which is filthy, de-
composed or putrid, in whole or
in part, or if product of . dis
eased animal or one which has
died otherwise than by slaughter.
The chief consideration in this
connection is the sale of filthy,
decomposed or putrid foods.
Such things are rotten eggs;
meat which has "passed over the
hill ;" swelled canned goods; veg
etables, imported or otherwise,
that have been held too long either
in storage or on the road; frozen
oranges and the like. The Tenn
essee Food and Drug Department
has had a good deal of trouble
with all of this class of material.
For instance, during the warm
weather of the present summer
it was almost impossible to hold
eggs even for few days without
a good many of them spelling,
and a great number of people
were "called upon the carpet" by
the Department because of such
eggs. In one of the largest towns
in the western part Of the State
the Department along with the
Health Department of that city
last winter destroyed in the
neighborhood of q car load of can
ned apples which were bad stock
to begin with and had begun to
ferment in :he cans. In another
large city in the state, In the
Middle District, car load OF cab
bage was discovered of which
water, as a result of decomposi-
tion of the cabbage, was running.
This was Immediately confiscated
and was sent out by the consignee
to feed to his hogs. During the
past winter, there was great
deal of trouble with frozen oran-
ges coming ia from California,
and number of them were con-
fiscated.
Possibly the word "confcated"
is the wrong one to use here as the
State law does not allow confica-
tion. Bot in administering this
feature of the law, the option is
given to the holder of the goods
of arrest or of destruction of the
goods. A man can be prosecuted
for having illegal goods in possess.
ion with intent to sell, and as no
man has food stuffs of this charac-
ter in possession gust for the fun
of the thing" every man means
to sell them. When such goods
are found, the holder is given the
option of arrest or of GLOWING the
destruction of the goods, and in
no case up to this time has there
been a refusal to allow their de.
struction by the Department.
During the year 1913 over rs
tons of goods unfit for food were
destroyed by this Department.
1t is a matter of pride with the
Departments that during the year
1914 there has been very little
trouble on this account. The law
has been strictly enforced; the
dealers know it, and they are,
therefore, taking no chances.
Consumers can help themselves
and the administrators of the law,
| if they will watch for small bat
ches of this kind of material and
call the attention of the persons
holding them to the provisions of
the law. If this warning is I'M
needed, quit note to the near
est Inspector of the Food and
Drugs Department, ought to Sc
cure the necessary relief.

The facts may be obtained in any pen
al institution
Here is the appeal of these men and
women Of a great penal institution
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, in General Assembly Met:
Your petitioners representing the mao1r
portion of the inmates of the Eastern
State Penitentiary, OF Pennsylvania, re-
spectfully aver:
That they believe fully 20 per cent of
crime within the state is directly attribu-
table to the excessive use of intoxicat-
ing liquors, and
That many of them have a personal
knowledge of Its debasing influence as
exemplifed in their own. lives, and
That, believing II the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors was prohibited by theen-
actment of laws by your honorable body,
that the effect would be to reduce crime
at least 50 per cent. IL not more, they
therefore
Respectfully pray that you will favor
ably consider the introduction of any
measure having for its object the cur
tailment of the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and use the great power with
which you are clothed to obtain the pas
sage OF an act TO prohibit the sale OF
such intoxicating liquor anywhere within
the bounds of the commonwealth OF
Pennsylvania.
we further pray that you will give due
consideration to this petition, coming to
you as a voluntary deed of body of
earnest men and women, acting entirely
on their own initiative, without sugges-
ton from others.
And yet in Maine, a great political
party nails the rum shop colors at its
masthead and that party's candidate
for governor of Maine publicly repeats
that we must have rum shops and
that he would make them legal by re-
curing them to pay a stipulated sum
for existence, and then he would ed
ucate our children with that blood
money. This same gentleman says.
boldly: THE voters know what to ex-
pect Of the Democratic party on the
rum ISSUE

something good for his moral welfare

Help to What?


Candidate H. P. Gardner has re-
turned home from New York bearing
a written agreement from Col. Roose-
Welt to come into Maine to help Mr..
Gardner in his campaign for Cover
nor. Mr.. Gardner has no hope of being
elected Governor. The most sanguine
Progressive in Maine has no hope of
electing a Progressive Governor, a
Progressive Legislature or anything
else. The most they can hope for is
that they will succeed in electing a
Democratic Governor, a Democratic
Legislature and other Democratic
candidates. If they succeed in ac-
complishing this they will regard II
as a victory. But the people through
out the country will regard IL as a
Democratic victory. The Wilson ad-
ministra ton will hail it as a Demo-
cratic victory and will claim, and take
comfort in claiming. that If Maine
elects a Democratic Governor Maine
has endorsed the tariff and all of the
policies and acts of the Wilson adj
ministration. The Democrats will
claim that Maine approves of the tar
if which has created a widespread
business depression all over the coun-
try and thrown hundreds of thousands
of men out of work and that it ap-
proves of a foreign policy which Col.
Roosevelt himself has said has meant
the abandonment of the interest and
honor of America. What will be
accepted as an endorsement of this
Democratic traiff policy and Demo-
cratic foreign policy is all that the
Progressives can hope to accomplish
in Maine.
