ALT YOUR LIVING
FROM YOUR GARDEN
Big Saving to Farmer and City Man
Is Possible Through Home
Grown Vegetables

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)- 1.-The farm
er who makes and keeps going this
year a real home garden, will save
fully one-half the money he has peen
in the habit Of paying the supply mer-
chant for his food supplies. The man
with a back yard city lot, turned into
a garden. can save on his living ex-
penses in the same proportion.
The man in the city has been hit
by the war just as hard as the man
in the country, and here In Atlanta the
Agricultural Committee OF the Atlanta
Chamber OF Commerce, Of which H. G..
Hastings is chairman, is actively en-.
couraging the back yard city garden
as one Of the most effective steps in
solving the problem OF living. One At.
lantan made $3.50 worth of vegetables
last year on less than one-sixteenth of
an acre. Others have been encourag-
ed to try it, and this spring will see
Atlanta full Of home gardens.
1The farmers Of the South, in my
opinion" Mr.. Hastings said, have
we'll learned the lesson of the cotton
crisis, and | believe they are going to
keep It learned. They realize now as
never before that they must make
COItOn luelT SeTFdut luSlodu VI Illcli
master, and making food crops is the
only way to- do It,
THE first big step toward the solu-
ton of this problem is the home gar
den-an all-the-year-round garden
one that is kept busy growing food for
the table every month in the year. A
garden like this means a saving of
half the living expense of any family:
it is worth more as money saver
than any five acres of cotton ever
grown.
"City families pay fancy prices for
vegetables and other food products
which the farmer can have on his ia
BILE without the expenditure of dol
lar, and this would mean to the farm
ers of the South an aggregate saving
of millions Of dollars they are now
paying out annually for food supplies,
that might be turned into bank &C.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Holding Into the Second Week Because
Of Hung Juries and Long Drawn
Out Tipping Cases.

Circuit court was in session all last
, week and will likely continue through
this week on account of the trials for
violating the liquor law resulting in
hung juries and other delays. The fol-
LOWING cases were disposed of as in
dlcated:
Morgan Mcbride, tippling. The EVIL
dence disclosed that Mcbride had
bought beer for another person and had
not sold 1t or drank any part of iC and
that he was not aware that he was vlo-
lating the law in accommodating a
friend, as he felt his act to be. Judge
Snodgrass very considerably tempered
this penalty with justice and due con-
sideratlon and placed fine OF only $40
on the young man. Judge Snodgrass
made it plain. however. that his action
in this case was not to be taken as a
precedent in future cases.
Howard and Dan Dixon, assault and
battery. Nolled on costs less taxes.
Everett Stevens. tippling, $50 fine
and 60 days in jail.
Herman Hinch, public drunkenness.

Little Play With Names.

Law Notes says that il there Is any.
ning in a name 1t must be difficult to
GET new trial before Judge Alfred
Judge Of the Fifth district court OF
IDAHO. Similarly lawyers can try their
cases with perfect confidence before
'Idge M. H. Justice of the superior
rourt of North Carolina. BY the same
token the outcome of litigation must
be exceedingly doubtful when Judge
4 Z. Gamble Of the Second circuit of
Ala bama is on the beach. Dlatory mo-
tons probably find little favor with
Judge James c. Work Of the orphans

And finally, not to prolong the list I'M
duly we advise attorneys to keep quiet
before Judge Orien s. Cross Of the

METEOROLOGICAL DOCTOR
Hires Special Train for $3.50 From Har-
riman to Nashville and Return,
Hundreds Visit Him; Ha
Gets $3.50 a Day.

Wednesday DR.. j. S. Anderson, the
negro doctor, who has his headquarters
at Kingston, passed through Crossville
over the L. e. on special tram re-
turning to Kingston.
He had been to Nashville to see the
state health authorities relative to GER
tain sanitary requirements touching his
sanitarlum at Kingston.
He had aboard his car several white
patients that he had picked up along
the way. He took aboard here the lit
tie daughter of Noah Hyder. The
child has been an Invalid from birth
and it seems beyond reason that he can
materially benefit the unfortunate lit
tie ore, in spite of his claims that he
will render the child able to walk.
Many persons from this county have
visited him, but no single instance has
come to our knowledge of any person
being benefited by his treatment.
He CLAIMS to be Choctaw Indian
and that he graduated from Choctaw
Indian medical college located on an
island 600 miles west of the African
coast. 1t seems that no such institu-
ton Is known to exist so far as the
medical fraternity of the United States
is concerned.
He has been at Kingston for about
year and has built a sanitarium there
and spent much cash in other ways.
Hundreds OF people are gong to tim
for treatment from East and Middle
Tennessee and many are coming from
other states.
HIS income is over $3.50 day, al
though his charges are not excessive.
Great claims are made by numerous
persons as to the relief he has given to
the sick, but, as stated above, no cases
have come personally to the knowledge
of the Chronicle editor. 1t does seem.
however, that he has FASTENED depart
ure in some instances.
Kingston is a great Mecca for the
sick and indications are 1T will So re-
main so long as this man remains there
as a healer of the sick and afflicted.
His special train from Hartman to
Nashville and return cost him the neat
sum of $670.

HEALTH OF CHILDREN.

That special medical attention should

early years before school begins Is as

lshed in a bulletin just slued by the
nited States bureau OF education. DR.

is newly born. Through this staff every
child in the district is kept under medi-

most of these cases are preventable
or, if taken in time, can be remedied
more speedily, and therefore more cheap

time not few will have received per-

The problem of the defective child large
ly resolves itself into the problem of the
under.school age child, and seems hardly
likely TO be solved by anything short
of general plan, insuring to all children
regular medical supervision from birth
TO school age. And this, to be fully sue
cessful, must run side by side with ed
ueational measures for instructing the
mothers themselves who, from ignorance
far more than from willful neglect or
even from Indulgence, are unable to safe

What a Year Will Do.

The year 1915 will do much for this
community If we but give it an
opportunity.
They tell us it to be a year of plenty
and we trust, of peace.
But to secure the best results for
our own people it is necessary that
we stand together = that we cooperate
that we labor one for the other, as
we'll as for self.
The prosperity Of a community is
dependent largely upon the amount
of money in circulation in the COM
munity.
Money is a present day necessity,
and without it no community can
survive.
1t would seem, therefore, that about
the best course we could pursue Wonld
be about as follows:
|. Produce as much as possible
not only for home consumption, but
also for export.
2. Buy from distance only what
is actually necessary, and that cannot
be had from some home dealer.
3. Push the business Of every home
enterprise to the limit, for every dol
lar that is brought into the commune
ity, and remains here, makes the COM
munity as a whole just that much
richer.
4. Devise means for increasing the
output of the farms. and study
methods for securing the best returns
for marketed products.
5. IT a farmer wants to hold his
crops for higher prices, see that he
has the money to tide him over. for
his increased returns means that
much added wealth to the commun-
ity as whole.
6. Find something for everyone to
do-something that will enrich the
community, as well as the individual.
Drones are a dead weight wherever
found.
Z. Get all of the money we can from
outside sources, and keep as much as
possible of what we get.
$. Make an effort to bring two
dollars in where one goes out.
year OF this medicine will bring Il
healthy glow to the community cheek
and will inspire that confidence and
self reliance which always brings sue
