ton of the Planters Protective Associ-
alton, which disbanded about a year
ago, is to be effected in short time,
according to w. r. Nagel, president

Tenn, this action was decided on,
and members will be enlisted at once.
A committee was named to secure
members, and it is intended to elect
officers next fall. Improvement in

BILE outlook for tobacco are the reas-
ons for reorganization. Business

trict realize that the organization is a
great advantage to the growers and
they are lending encouragement to
the movement.

suggesting Pain and Disease.


Grown people often aggrayate the
little aches and pains Of children by
making too much of them. 1t would be
better II they would turn the mind of
q child off from most of his troubles
snd ailments. The principle applies
Just as well to youth as 1t does to
childhood II will be granted that
when a child has serious complaint.
It ought to be discovered early. But
the best way for the parent to 6iscov-
er 1t is to learn the signs OF serious
disturbances so that he can read
them without asking the child whether
he feels bad" A parent ought to
be able to tell when a child has a
fever or when he is not being prop
erly nourished, or when he has long
continued pain due to malfunction Of
any kind. The less said to the child
about these things, the better, unless
his case is unusual. The child's health
should be in the keeping Of parent,
teacher, and medical inspector. He
should follow, as a matter of habit, a
healthful regime in respect to food, ex-
ercise, cleanliness, ETC., and then his
thoughts should be kept on optimistic
and constructive instead of gloomy
and interpretive matters.-Mother's

5 Christianity and the War.

The new emphasis on religion in
Europe is we'll known. Each poten-
tate claims God on his side, troops
pray before entering battle, it is re-
ported that hundreds of thousands of
Testaments are being thumb-marked
in the trenches, revivals are on in
France and Bulgaria, liquor and lux
ury have been tabooed, and the sim
pleIlife, which is psychologically relat-
ed to the religious life, has been made
the rule.
II is difficult, if not impossible, to
define the underlying cause of so sub
tie thing as worldwide spiritual
renaissance. Perhaps the coming of
the war and the revival at the same
time are only colossal coincidence.
On the other hand, there is ground
for the theory that the horrors and
desolation of war have solemnized the
world and have had the effectof driv-
ing the people back upon divine secu'
rity.
At any rate the renaissance is or
and missionary Christendom is faced
with the greatest opportunity in its
bistory.-From "The Worlds New

EMBASSIES Dislike
POWER GIVEN WILSON
Suspicious Of Retaliatory Weapon,
Granted President.

EurOpe's chancelleries are deeply con-
.cerned over the drastic enactments con-
tained in the Administrations shipping
bill, and in the revenue measure approved
by the Senate early yesterday, placing
retaltatory weapons in the hands OF Pres
ident Wilson
Through their diplomatic representatives
here, they are following closely the legts-
lation which will permit President Wilson
to substitute for passive diplomacy a
policy Of action against all nations dis
eliminating against American trade.
The action OF this government is revolu-
uonary and entirely unexpected and per-
mits the President to back up his mails
and boycott demands in a way that will
prove distinctly embarrassing to the en-
tente allies.
While unofficial suggestions have been
made by certain OF the embassies that
these provisions violate existing trade
agreements. they have not been received
with any degree of warmth at the State
DEPARTMENT. It has been pointed out that
the powers given the President are in
every way discretionary He can utilize
them if the necessity arises. but they can
be put into effect only in the manner
recognized by international law.
The fact that these amendments have
been fathered by Senators James. Thomas
and Phelan. thick and-thin supporters
OF the administration, Is accepted as in
dicatlng that they have the approval Of
the President and Secretary OF State Lam
sing.

=. A seat for every passenger during the
rush hours and seven square feet oil

the important provisions discussed at the
meeting to fix a standard OF street rail-
way service.
The companies entered their ob)ectlons
to the proposed changes on the GROUNDS
that they were Impractical and would I'M
pose great hardships in Management.
William Clayton, chairman OF the pup.
lie utility committee OF the Federation OF
Citizens Associations, entered objection
to the proposed standard, saying that II
does not meet with the requirements OF
the public. He said that 1t would not
prevent crowding.
Clarence P. King. president OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, questioned the right OF the COM
mission to adopt such a standard. The
individual, he said, desires to take the
first car that comes along, which would
make 1t impractical to enforce the resu'
Iation.
j. H. Hanna. vice president of the Cap
ital Traction Company, urged that shoulo
the new regulations be adopted. they De

low time to observe the results.
