A Suggestion For Your Nome

Home should mean much
more than the house occupied by
the family. The. house is only a
part of the home, a very impor-
tant part, truly, but the home
should include the lawn and the
garden, and the farm home
should include the barns, and the
feeding lots, and fields"
With these words, Prof. c. A.
Keffer. director, division Of ex-
tension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, begins a pamphlet on
''Beautifying the Home Grounds.
In this publication, sent to any
Tennessean for the asking, Prof.
Keffer tells how he would ar
range the farm lawn so that
everyone in the family could en-
Joy it. He tells how to place the
shrubs so as to make a big open
air room in which the men can
rest at noon, when they are tired
and hot. He tells about the flow
ers, that, when they are placed
right, will make. the work in the
kitchen pleasenter.b r.because their
beauty gets:inside the house as
well as outside.
If you want to make your home
surroundings better with very
little expense. write for a copy
of this publication. 1t is free to
you.

his son, Graves Pate was badly
bruised Yesterday shortly before
noon when an automobile ir
which they were riding turned
turtle after colliding with a wag-
on at the corner of Sharpe ave-

Pate and his son were pinned be-
meath the car. A negro boy, driv-
er of the wagon, escaped with
out injury.
Mr.. Pate has a badly injured

ious results. His son received
many bruises about the body and
head.
According to witnesses, Mr..
Pate and his son were driving
out the Gallatin road on their
way home in the same direction
the wagon was travelling. In an
effort to pass the wagon at
Sharpe avenue, Mr.. Pate turned
his machine to the right side of
the road. One wheel of the car
went into a ditch. Mr.. Pate
swayed his machine to..the right
and struck the wagon, knocking
the car furthur into the ditch
and turning it over. Nashville

What Kills Hog Cholera Virus

Hogs having cholera are filled
with virus that spreads the di-
sease. This virus does not float
in the air. Freezing of virus
does not kill it. The direct rays
of the sun kills virus. A pasture
upon which cholera hogs have
grazed can ultimately be used for
we'll hogs if the sun is allowed to
strike every part of it.
Virus remains in the bones and
scraps of hams of hogs infected
with cholera at the time of
slaughter, Suppose the scraps
are thrown'into the swill pail and
eaten by we'll hogs. The well
hogs may contract cholera, as
nothing lfasrkiAed the virus.
The excretions from cholera
hogs left on the ground where
the sun rays do not penetrate
will cause outbreaks even after
years have passed. 1t takes sun
to kill virus.
The history of cholera points
to this fact, Before 1888 we did
not Know much about it. In
that year, an outbreak occurred
in Ohio. A virus excreting hog
is thought to have been brought
across the waters in a shipment
of hogs. From that point, virus
has been carried to all parts of
the Uuited States by stock cars,
wagons and other objects capa-
Bile of carrying excretions.

Interesting Letter Written 43
Years Ago Comes to Light.
Eloquent Sermon Contained in Letter From
Tennessee Prisoner To His Younger
Brother.

| "A ASCeOl HliIISu Wy ISUlleS-
see convict January Is, 1874, but
never delivered to the writer's
brother to whom it was address
ed, has just come to Tight. The
letter is reproduced below be-
cause it is a remarkable bit of
advice to a young man to honor
his father and avoid the paths
that leads to disgrace and the
felon's stripes.
The interesting letter was
found by Mr.. Edward j. Roberts
while removing a mantle from
his home on McMillin street.
The house in which Mr.. Roberts
lives was at one time occupied
by the warden of the old peni-
tentiary which at the time
the letter was written was
located at Clutch street and Nc
Millin avenue.
The letter had evidently been
handed to the warden to be mail
ed, and, as it is the custom for
wardens to read all mail received
and sent out by convicts, the
warden then in charge of the old
penitentiary, no doubt, was much
impressed by the contents and
probably took it to his home to
be read by his wife and children
and placed it on the mantel
where it was showed back and
fell between the mantel and the
wall.
Mr.. Roberts turned the letter
over to Mr.. Frank Herbrick of
firm of Herbrick & Lawrence,
who is making an effort to 10.
cate, if possible, some relative of
the writer.
The letter bespeaks good ed
ucation for the writer, and is an
elegant specimen of handwriting.
Although it has been forty-three
years, almost to the day since
it was written, it is wonderfully
preserved and can be read as
easily as if written only yester-
day. The stamp on the letter is
of the three-cent denomination
and is uncancelled. 1t is address
ed as follows:
Louis M. Wrenn, Esq, Saint
Joseph, No., care Missouri VAL

The letter follows;
