claimed for it's victim the loving
companion of Malcolm w. Jaquess.
Ethel had been in reasonable good
health until Tuesday before her death
when she drove to Cookeville and had
sixteen teeth extracted which caused
immediate hemorrhage of the gums.
Medical aid was summoned and the
hemorrhages stopped, but she was
SO weakened from the loss of blood,
all that loving hands could do failed
II revive her, and on Saturday morn
ing her spirit took it's flight to that
better world. She leaves a dear
mother, four brothers, two sisters, a
owing husband, two precious child
rem, and host Of relatives and frie-
nds to mourn their loss.
She was a devout Christian and
lived a life that ceases not at the
grave. She was converted in early
life and Joined the United Baptist
Church.

true Christian life in her dealing with
her loved ones and friends.

SALOON AND woRkINeMAN.

Saloon politicians are the worst enc
mics of the laboring mans rights:
They get plenty Of money to buy free
beer and whisky to debauch the electo-
rate. They raise the cry of personal
liberty" and with solid saloon support,
the honest workingman has no show
against them.
The saloon fills warehouses and pen
ltentiaries with its victims, and their
labor is brought into competition with
free labor, to the injury thereof.
The saloon is labor's worst enemy.
The sooner working men realize the
fact, the better 1t will be for them.
The corrupt politician thrives through
the saloon and corrupt politicians are
bleeding this country to death, bring
ing 1t down to conditions Of older and
less resourceful countries. The abol-
lshment of the saloons will not bring
labor Immediately all that labor Ought
to have, but it will be the removing
Of the greatest obstacle to labor's
success.
The working people of the United
States earned more money each year
for the distillery and brewery kings
of America than was paid to oil the
kings and emperors Of Europe.
Working people are now asserting
their rights and are freeing themselves
from slavery to the inhuman liquor
traffic and the dominance Of an aris-
tocracy of beer.-John F. Cunneen, La
Dor Leader, Chicago.

The plain coat, like the tailored suit,

of striped plush in brown. 1t hangs
straight from shoulder to hem and
has a convertible collar. Its wide belt
extends only across the front and Is
finished with a single large button. By
way of ornament nothing is allowed
except two buttons on each cult and
two on each side Of the collar.
The other coat. Of heavy velour
cloth, is long enough to cover the dress
and is shaped to define the figure
vaguely by a very original and clever
management of the belt. Belts that
full to find their way entirely round
the figure are a fad of the season.
This one starts at each side of the
back and fastens with a button at the
front. It slips through slashes In the
cloth and gathers up the fullness about
the waist In this way. All the ends are

tons.
Three rows of machine stitching
| provide the tailored finish of the cape-
collar, cuffs, and belt, and the cuffs
are allowed an adornment of three
buttons.

TONNE
IS HELPS
ON DEFINITE PLAN
Country Has Been Quick to Recognize
Advantages Of Having Expert
Lay Out City.

Town planning has received 70 much
attention within the last ten years that
1t is developing into a new profession
and one that promises to be most re-
muneratiye. The obvious advantage
Of a brand new city. built up from the
ground on a plan In harmony with
modern developments, over the city
which was evolved from a small VIII
lage In which sanitation, convenience
and civic beauty were unthought OF,
has been recognized by a number OF
corporations in the selection Of sites
for manufacturing plants. The need
of persons competent to plan new
cities as well as to remodel old ones
led the University Of Pennsylvania to
establish a course of city planning. Il
has been under the direction of B. An
trim Haldeman, city engineer Of Phil
adelphia; Carol Aronovici and Bernard
Newman of the Philadelphia housing
commission and Prof. James p. Lich-
tenberger Of the university.
A number of cities are now estab-
fishing commissions for the purpose OF
procuring a definite plan suited to In
dividual municipal, need. New York
recently established such a commits
sion and the group Of public buildings
which are adding SO materially to the.
efficiency and beauty Of Cleveland
were built from plans which recog-
nizet the peculiar and distinctive con-
ditions Of that city. Dallas and CAL
weston, Tex, Birmingham, Ala, and
Reading, Pa, are among other cities
which have recently. adopted a definite
plan upon which future improvements
will be based.
