Owners of Stock
Asked to Cooperate.
N. q. & st. l.. Starts Campaign
to Reduce Stock Dama9e-
Will Aid in Food Fight.

Nashville, Tenn, June 81
Owners of stock throughout
the territory traversed by the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway, are asked to CO.
operate with the road in its eff
forts to reduce the damage to
stock along It's lines.
This appeal is based on patri-
otto lines in view of the num-
erous requests of the government
authorities for food conservation
at this time. The right-of-way
fthe railroads is private prop
erty and stock should not be al
lowed to trespass upon it any
more than human beings.
From an economic standpoint,
the loss of stock, especially cows,
at this time is decreasing the
available food supply by just
such amount as is killed, for
cattle killed by trains are not
eaten. 1t is paid for, but it
takes just that much food from
the country's supply.
That the public may have
some idea Of what this amounts
to in dollars and cents in the
course Of a year, the following
figures are submitted:
For the year ended June 30,
1914, the damage to stock on the
N. g. &sgSt. T.. was $64,2S9, III.
For the year 1915 the amount
was $50, ,S03,94, and in 1916 the
road paid out $50, ,80S,67 in stock
claims. This is an average of
over $61.000 a year for the past
three years. OF course, much of
this stock was paid for above the
market price, but at present
values it can readily be seen that
thousands of dollars worth of
food would be conserved and
saved for human consumption if
the owners of stock would only
meet the road half way.
With the cooperation of the
public the N. O. IL ST. L. feels
that this campaign will result in
savings of thousands of dollars
and the, reduction Of litigation,
anda the same time will have
the beneficial effect of saving to
to the country a tremendous
amount of food.

When all has been said, and the last
warning uttered, the spirit Of Youth
remains the only true and healthful
spirit of life. The objects which the
passionate heart of Youth pursues re-
main always the vital ones, writes Ed
ward Lewis in the Atlantic. The d.
rection given to Youth by the creative
impulse which brings it into being, be.
fore Society coerces it and the Church
warps it, remains the right direction
unto the end of life. Nor can there be
higher reach of faith than that of
which the unwritten creed of Youth
is the expressiOn-I believe in joy, in
lifewarlness. in self-expression. be-
lieve in the world and in the flesh. I
believe in the natural man, the health
of his Instincts, the purity of his func-
tions. and in his divine potentialities.
l believe in the soundness of the hu-
man heart. the goodness of life, the
beauty Of all experience.
The worst of it is that, when we are

WOUNDED ARE QUICKLY AIDED
New Methods Of Surgery Save Cases
That Once Were Deemed
Hopeless.

Paris.-Lieut. Col. Gilbert Darling.
Q. B., a famous English surgeon, who
Is consulting surgeon to the great base
hospitals at Rouen, which accommo-
date 5000 patients, says that since
the war began immense strides have
been made in the surgery of the battle
field.
Two improvements that may be no.
ticed as having taken place since the
outbreak Of hostilities are in connec-
ton with the rapid treatment of the
wounded after a big battle and the
cleansing of wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fight.
ing sufficient casualty cleaning stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the cas-
ualties that may reasonably be expect
ed, so that once man is picked up
by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within very short
time. Here also is a special hospital,
perhaps of so beds, for abdominal
cases. which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, be.
cause Of the delay before they could
be treated, were generally considered
to be fatal; but under the new condi-
tons, by which man so hit is placed
In an ambulance and sent off immedi-
ately, the dangerous delay is overcome
and the wound kept aseptic and more
amenable to treatment.

What Bachelors Think They Know
By Laura Jean Libbey

200 and more by the time she is
forty.
The very slender girl he is certain
will dwindle into skin and bone, which
he abhors.
The girl with a doll face he is sure
is fright II all her makeup were
rubbed away. He would doubt any,
ones word she didn't paint.
The girl who likes music would
make home so uncomfortable with eter.
nal screeching and banging on the
piano that marriage would be failure
for the most patient man in the world.
And as for genius-oh, dear no!
Not for Joe! She'd insist on wearing
her husbands coat, boots and all. The
girl who is all force of character would
place her husband at the foot of his
dining table.
So 1t goes down through all the list.
He looks for their faults. picking flaws,
but he does not look for the virtues
Of each and every one, which more
than balance in the right direction.
The only way a man can study the
subject of woman is at close range
by marrying. Even Mt that, he may
live half lifetime and find new and
charming traits about her he never
dreamed she possessed. What man
really does not know about woman
would fill volumes. OF the guesses
he has made concerning them his Or
rows have struck wide of the mark.
Bachelors should not discourage Cupid.
