Warrington heard a scuffling, which
was presently followed by low, chok-

other room. Pinned to the wall was
a young man with weak, pale face.
The other man presented nothing
more than the back of his broad, mus

What Causes tuberculosis.

DR.. John North of Toledo, o., is
working on the theory that tubercu
losis may be due to lack Of lime
in the system, as he says that while
tubercular germs are everywhere. they
only thrive in ripe soil and just what
Is lacking in persons subject to tuber
cular trouble gives food for thought
He says that there is less tuber
culosis among people living in arid re
gions, and plants in such places have
more lime in their composition than
those growing in humid regions.

RECORDS SHOW THAT
REAL ESTATE DEALS
HAVE MADE GAINS
DURING MARCH is ABouT s16.ooo
GREATER THAN SAME MONTH
LAST YEAR.
TOTAL WAS ABOUT slSO,OOo
RECORD OF Transfers Show That There
is Greater Activity in Land Than
Twelve Months Ago Before War
Times Began.

That the demand for real estate ia
steadily picking up is evidenced bv
the records of the registers office.
Especially is this the case during the
past month, in which real estate has
been very active
during the month of March, the re.
corded deals in real estate amounted
to S17S,55O, while those of the same
month of the previous year, when the
boosted good times were here and
there was no war cloud on the hori.
zon, amounted to but $16O,S40. This
is gain of almost $4,000 in three
days.
While the month of April is but
half gone, yet the number of transfers
recorded is far in excess of the same
month of last year. With several
large deals, one of them for about
$4,000 already on the books, it
seems that the record of April, 1914.
will be far surpassed
However, the sales have not been
nearly SO large as the demand for
ands. The real estate dealers of the
,ity have had numberless INQUIRIES
or Maury county lands. They are In
,reat demand by those from a dis
ance. The quality of the land, the
advantages that this section of the
ountry has to offer and the adver-
isement that has been given it by
peal real estate men have created a
eady market, and no man who has a
lace to sell at reasonable price has
ifficulty in disposing of it, especially
he lists it with some live, active
cal estate agent, who has a large
failing list and who is in touch with
len who make business of hand
ng land.
In short, the records show that in
ute of war times, there is more bus
ess, more activity in real estate
ian there was year ago, when
ere was peace and there was moth
g to upset or disturb business con.
tons.
