Straight on to the sea where the barks of the

TYPHOID FEVER.

The secretary of the Tennessee
Board of Health states that in 1913
there were 16,704 cases of typhoid
fever with 944 deaths. There were
fewer cases in all the four cities,
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga
and Knoxville combined, than in
the rural communities of the State.
Bear in mind that these statistics
do not record how many of the
49, cases were made invalids for
life through typhoid complications,
or the great financial loss to the
victims, or TO those depending upon
them, nor does it record the suffer
ing, the misery or SORROW caused
by this preventable disease.
A bulletin on typhoid has just
been published by the Division OF
Extension, Univt rsitg of Tennes
see, K Knoxyilie.

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

Don't forget that the Tennessee
voters will decide July 2S whether
Of not we shall have a new State
Constitution.
And don't forget to do your part
in helping to get it.
The present Constitution was
we'll enough for its time, but its
time has passed. Lots of water
has run under the bridge since
1870. Great changes have taken
place in industry. in politics, in
the social structure. The princi-
pies of good government remain
the same, but the practices and
policies necessary to secure good
government now are vastly differ
ent from the ones required to Sc
cure good government forty-seven
years ago.
Go to the polls and vote for the
Constitutional Convention, The
Southern Agriculturist.
