Assumes Warden's Position.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 30.-W. D.
Fulton will take charge Of the Office
of State Game and Fish Warden Sat
urday morning. This is made pos
sible by the dissolution to-day of an
injunction in the Chancery Court
here obtained by w. D. Howser, for
mer State Game Warden, the incum-
bent and claimant of the office.
Some time ago Mr.. Howser secured
an injunction in Chancery Court to
prevent Mr.. Fulton from taking
charge of the game warden's depart
ment by an act passed by the last
Legislature. Mr.. Howser based his
claim to the office on his contention
that the act was unconstitutional
and that he had been appointed for
an eight-year term as game warden
by Governor Hooper in April, 1918,
on a former statute.

Women, Bless En-.

Women want to vote and we think
they ought to vote. In Tennessee
they now hold office-Notary Public
and serve on school boards.
"Shall women have positions on
school boards is the title of neat
little letter in the Knoxville Senti-
mel by Julia S. Lucky, who says:
1.-THE answer to these questions
should be in the affirmative. The
prominent literary and social service
clubs, the Mothers associations, the
women teachers themselves, have
long endorsed the idea, and now we
are glad to note that many of our
best and most influential men are
strongly advocating the plan.
The Legislature recently passed an
act permitting women to serve on
school boards, so the natural right is
now supported by law. Yet, aside
from the legal aspect the position of
women on such boards, is the logical
one.
1--WE are now a nation of S0,000,-
900 people. Approximate one-half
these 8O,000,000 are women. The
bearing and rearing of these millions
have been the burden and work of
women. Their education was and is
to be to very large extent the work
of women, for after passing to some
degree beyond home training, the
children of our land come into the
hands of the more than 100000
women teachers. For these and 9TH
err reasons women's activities along
lines should be acklowl-
edged royalty, and regarded as one of
the bulwarks of our national great
ness. There should be no rigid line
out the extent of their serv-
ing, saying "Thus far shalt thou
come and no farther" but their life
long training, their special duties as
mothers and teachers should open to
them a wider area of service, admit
ting them without objection to the
responsible duties of the school
board.
'How any so-called system of JUS
tice can deny women the same con-
sideration and rights accorded to
men can. be explained only by the
fact that too often justice is but a |
term to juggle with.
"Who can estimate the value of |
the great constructive work of wo-
men in and for the schools? Who
can estimate the quickening force
and the gain in principles of law and
order, the improvement in the neces-
sary details of school hygiene and
sanitation, if our officials will but
show their appreciation by giving
women a direct share in the
duties belonging to our boards OF
"If what we hear and see is true,
one of the crying needs of the day is
TO take schools out of politics. Are
we claiming too much when we as
sert that with women on our boards,

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfu1
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emu1
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

TIMELY TALKS.


1.-THE American people must ac-
Quire the habit of looking into the
evidence" said President Arthur T..
Hadley Of Yale in his matriculation
sermon at Woolsey hall.
1--WE must stop buying the news
paper that tells what we wish was
true and buy the one that tells what
really is. We must refuse to repeat
improved gossip or scandal because
we like It. This will soon grow into
the habit Of not liking it. We shall
learn to hate the unconscious lie as
well as the Intentional one. There
may sometimes be a question wheth-
er we should tell the truth to others
who cannot see it or understand it;
there should be no question at all
that we should tell it to ourselves,
And when a man has learned to tell
the truth to himself the problem Of
telling it to others becomes COM
paratively easy. The whole fabric
of American society rests on the as
sumption that we are going to be
honest in our dealings"
