TT should be every mothers bounden duty

1t is nothing short of crime for an other
wise beautiful boy or girl to be compelled
to go through life with lop ears, squint eyes,
or crooked nose, when a slight surgical
operation would correct the condition, and
make an incalculable difference in the child's

The medical profession has thus far great

be recognized as very important branch
of the healing art. Many think it beneath
their dignity as surgeons to do this work;
but there is no branch of medicine in which
patients are more appreciative of skilful
treatment, or where the remuneration is
greater or more cheerfully paid, than in the
successful remova! of facial blemishes and
deformities.
The time is coming, and it isn't far off,
when each considerable city and every well

and liberation, and ultimately results in
expelling the hair from the premises. But
even if this should not take place, the hairs,
being without follicles, have no means of
gaining nourishment, and would soon wither
and die If their attachments in the flesh
should by any chance become incapsulated,
they would soon grow brittle from lack of
"hair OIL" and the first brow-in-h hand, pen
sive mood, or absentminded wipe, would
obliterate those artistic eyebrows. So pin
not your faith on hair transportation.
CQUINT eyes, in this age of scientific SUI
~ gerry, are inexcusable. They are caused
by a relaxation of one or more of the groups
of muscles that move the eyeball, or by
contraction of the opposing group. If the
relaxed condition cannot be strengthened by
wearing prisms, which, by correcting the
focus of the eye, enforce exercise, one or
more of the contracted muscles may be cut.
A tenotomy, as the operation is called, re-
quires about ten seconds time, and under
cocaine is absolutely painless. By this SIM
pie means almost complete balance can be
secured in the "pull" of the opposing muscle
groups, thereby restoring normal focus to
the eyes.
Harelip is another deforrnity that should
receive early attention at the hands of
competent surgeon. 1t is unsightly, it causes
malnutrition by interfering with the proper
preparation of food for digestion, and it
greatly handicaps a child in the way of
proper growth and development. And later

a razor edge, looked at through microscope,
appears like a saw with many jagged teeth.
1t has these teeth, no matter how sharp it
is. Now, as the razor is stropped some of

though it be an even-numbered one, Will
bend some of the small teeth to one side.
If a little time elapses, however, these VIII
bend back into position.
Another peculiar thing about a razor that
is widely known is that if it is given a long
rest of two or three months it will seem to
get young again and will put up a good
shave. This is probably caused by the
teeth on the edge rusting off. No matter
how clean you rub razor after shaving,
small particles of water remain between the
teeth. As the edges of the teeth are the
points exposed to this, they will be the parts
to wear away. The reason this does not
take place when the razor is in constant use
is because the old teeth are worn off by
stropping and new ones are formed.
There is another fact that should be men,
toned here, which may be the true reason
why a razor given long rest shaves better.
There is a fatigue of metals, which causes
a piece of metal in constant use seemingly
to become tired and to get out of order.
After rest it regains its strength and virillty.
Experiments have been tried in giving in
succession several million vibrations of the

One can readily see. then, that the

Practical feeding trials show that
for hogs wheat is little more valu.

with corn the combination is much

Wheat when fed alone, requires 45

When the two are mixed in equal pro.
portions only 81 pounds are required
to make pound of pork. These two

tralize the detrimental results that are
sometimes caused by the feeding OF
3Cttonseed meal to hogs, we would
also advise that one make up a solu.
ton of copperas in the proportion OF
two pounds of copperas to fifty pounds
of water, then feed two quarts of the
solution for every pound of cotton
seed meal fed. These two feeds are
the cheapest that are obtainable for
hogs at the present time, emitting
from consideration, of course, the use
OF succulent forage crops
Wheat may also be subs tituted for
corn in the horses ration. However,
care must be taken in its use, for new
wheat is apt to produce collie. We
would advise that the ration be cheap
ened through the use of wheat with
corn and cottonseed meal. A very ex
cellent ration for horses and mules
would be equal parts Of corn and
wheat, and then mix with them one
part cottonseed meal for every six
parts of the mixture of equal parts of
corn and wheat
For feeding purposes wheat should
not be ground too fine, as it may then

When spring comes, it promises to

the state clover stands are poor and
In many cases total failure, SO that
the situation will not be improved very
much by the clover crop next spring.
1t Is not yet too late to insure the
supply of early hay for summer by the
use of wheat and vetch. This is the
hay crop that seldom suffers from
drouth, produces abundantly II vetch
is inoculated and phosphate is applied,
is ready for hay in May, season
which is favorable for making hay, is
palatable and nutritious, and comes
at a time when the barns are empty.
II the weather permits, one could
hardly find more profitable employ
ment than to continue the preparation
of land from which has been taken
corn, sorghum, beans or peas. and even
cotton, for seeding to crop for hay.
The land may be disced thoroughly
and wheat and votch sown at the rate
OF one and half bushels, and fifteen
pounds, respectively. It is true that
vetch makes little growth In winter,
but 1t will make a rapid growth In
spring and will be ready for hay with

CAPT. JOHN W. MORTON.

Capt John W. Morton was the last
of the staff officers Of Nathan Bedford
Forrest. His reputation as an artil-
lery officer was as broad as the fame
of Forests command.
He was one of the first officers to
accompany cavalry with light artil-
lery, and to be in line of BATHS when
it was formed.
Capt. Morton was a typical Confed-
crate soldier He never boosted of
what he had done. The world knew
little about his exploits from his own
lips. He was loyal to the Confederacv
and loyal to its traditions. He never
complained that the fortunes of the
war were against him.
After the war Capt. Morton, like
many other Confederate officers and
soldiers, found the struggle in peace
as fierce as the contest of war. lie
went bravely to work and in the days
of the fulness of his life he was honor
ed by his state with an office of dig
nifty and responsibility.
The surviving Confederates of For
rests command and other Confederate
and citizens will receive the news OF
Capt. Morton's death with keen rgret.

der. He was fine type of the chiv-

ENFORCE NEUTRALITY NOT
ADUTY OF THE UNITED STATES

Washington, Nov. 25.-The state.
ment made in the house of commons
today by Charles Roberts, under-sec-
rotary for foreign affairs, that Great
Britain and France had asked the U
S. to make an effort to secure more
strict neutrality by Ecuador and Co
lombia, is regarded by both Secretary
Bryan and the British ambassador
Spring-Rice, as merely a review OF
early developments in the case.
Details of the notes from Great
Britain and France on the subject
were made public here a fortnight
ago. Since then, according to Colon
bian legation officials, both Great Brit
ain and France have been satisfied of
Colombia's strict neutrality.
No reply was made to the two notes.
President Wilson told inquirers the
United States did not consider it a
duty to secure enforcement of neu-
trality in South America. Secretary
Bryan asked the American ministers
at Bogota and Quito to learn the facts
so that if friction developed between
the European countries and Ecuador
and Colombia, the American govern
ment would be fully informed. Meth
er minister, however, was instructed
to discuss the matter with the Colon
bian or Ecuadoran governments.

held their regular meeting Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, the meeting
which was to have been held last Sat-

account of the Indictment weather.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting Tuesday and it was very har-
menious in every respect. The pur-
pose of this meeting was to nominate
three men for Road Commissioners,
the election for which will be~held on
December 18th, and the following men
were nominated: w. J. Barton, A. r.
Johnson and j. H. Smalling These
three men are fully in sympathy with
the Road Improvement Plan and have
each pledged their every effort to car
ry out the law. by and under which
this district was created, and while 1t
is true that the citizens of Johnson
City pay more than two-thirds of the
taxes in the new district, it has al
ways been thought best to elect one
commissioner from Johnson City and
two from the outlying districts. so
that there never could be any ques-
ton raised that Johnson City was
raising the district, and moreover the
two commissioners from the country
are better prepared to say where the
road shall be laid off than If two or
more of them were from Johnson
City. At an early date the three men
above named will lay out a plan OF
hte proposed roads and this will be
in the nature of their platform and
will give the citizens of the new dis
trict an idea of where the roads will
be built. All loyal and progressive /
citizens of this new district who stand |
for the up-building of Washington
county are urged to go to the polls |
on December 18th and vote.

er 1t to the bottom Of the barrel and
gently tip the barrel so the fruit will
pass from basket to barrel without
bruising. The slightest bruise in the
orchard means a rotten spot in the
cellar.
OF course, the best way of saving
apples for winter use is.by cold stor.
age; but they can be kept quite we'll in
cool cellar. Have shelves arranged
as for sweet potatoes, with Slated
bottoms and six-inch sides. The cellar
must be provided with openings on at
least two sides, to afford perfect ven.
tilation. Spread the fruit carefully in
layers six to eight inches deep on the
shelves, leave the cellar windows open
at night and closed in the day time
until cool weather comes. During the
winter go over the bins occasionally
removing the ripest fruit.
The best temperature for apples in
storage is about forty degrees above
zero. While this low temperature can
not be maintained during the fall
months in Tennessee, such varieties
as Wine Sap and Ben Davis can be
kept until February and March with
little difficulty, If care is taken to pick
the fruit early, avoid bruising, store
In shallow bins, in a COOL dry cellar,
which is ventilated at night and kept
closed during the day until the warm
days are passed.
OF course, 1t is understood that only
sound fruit should be stored and no
one can hope to keep fruit that is fully
ripe when placed in storage.
