Causes of Nervousness.

There is an article on the care of
children in the Woman's Home Com
panion in which the writer says:
Nervousness sometimes is the re-
suit Of some personal defect. Malnu-
triton, anemia, defective eyesight, bad
teeth or adenoids may be the predis-
posing cause. Nature offers the best
cure. Plenty Of nourishing food and
wholesome outdoor life are essential,
and these children should be
aged to play and to take regular ex-
ercise, such as walking, rowing and
swimming. Real country life is always
the best, and camping is a cure in IT.

Tobacco Ash Valuable.

From the washington. Star.
It appears that smokers are throwing
away annually about 5000 tons Of val
liable material, the same being the
ashes of the tobacco that they con
sumo.
The ash left on burning tobacco is
considered and, as a matter Of fact the
mineral matter of the tobacco leaf fire.
quently amounts to as much as a fifth
part of it's weight. Thus a ton Of to-
bacco leaf would yield 400 weight Of
ash, which represents valuable mineral
constituents withdrawn from the soil
which have to be replaced by abundant
manuring.
1t has been calculated that a ton of
tobacco withdraws more than a 100
weight Of mineral constituents per acre
of land. This would appear to be an
astounding waste of material, which
must be Of enormous value to the soil,

WORTHY EXAMPLE.

One OF the very finest examples Of
true patriotism was the action Of the
teachers of Giles county in voting
unanimously TO teach eight months
for seven months pay. This action
WAS taken as the result Of the war
and to show that the teachers were
willing TO make sacrifices for the
good of the country.
Giles county has been somewhat
remiss in making provision for popu-
lar education, but it has bunch OF
rs true patriots in its teaching corps
as can be found in the state. The
teachers are assuredly willing to do
their part Their spirit is right. 1t
Is an example that should be emu
1xted-
The teacher who uses war condi-
tons as means TO prize up salary
or to secure conces sions not other
wise possible, has not that true spirit
OF patriotism and self sacrifice that
gaaIifies him or her for the sacred
duty of instructing the youth of the
hand. OF all people peculiar obli-
cation to cruelty self, to practice self
sacrifice and self abnegation rests
upon the teachers of the public
schools Of the state.
The teacher who is not whole heart
eddy for the country in this crisis
ready and willing at all times to for
get self, to lay all that he has
upon the altar of the country, GER
fainly is not worthy TO instruct the
future citizens OF this glorious repub
lie. The mission Of the teacher is
high and sacred one, equal in dignity
to that of the ministry and by all
means they should prove worthy of
ii. The Giles county teachers have
paved the way to higher and better
things in the profession and let Us
hope that the spirit OF devotion and
sacrifice that moved them will FIJI the
hearts and minds OF every member OF
the profession throughout the state.

. REGRETTABlE REJECTION.
Nashville Banner. J

Tennesseans generally will regret
the rejection Of Mr.. James |. Finney
editor of The Columbia Herald, al
Fort Oglethorpe, on the final exami
nation to which the men in training
there have been subjected. There
is no sort of doubt that Mr.. Finney
in all essential qualities Of mind and
soul measures far in advance of the
average man seeking to become an
officer, and it is vexing that the very
scrupulous surgeons should have put
him into the discard for lack of avoir-
dupois.
He did not have the weight in pro-
portion to his inches, it seems, to
comply with the infiexible rule in that
respect. There was nothing the mat
ter with his health and he bears no
outward resemblance to a skeleton.
He has been for some years doing the
double duty of editing daily paper
and running a farm, which should be
a sufficient guarantee of his physical
ability to meet any requirement mill
tary duty would impose.
The national army will need men
of Mr.. Finney's intelligence, charac.
ter. fine spirit and splendid enthu-
siasm more than it will some men
who carry more fat on their bones,
and perhaps in their heads, and who
will probably be accepted.
But everything has its compensa-
tions. The Tennessee press will not
lose one of its brightest members and
that Maury county farm will be up to
the standard of production. Finney
needs to eat more of his farm prod.
ucts.

A SORRY SPECTACLE.

In voting TO reverse its former &C
ton in locating the experiment sta
ton in this county, the county cour
on Monday made sorry spectacle o
itself. II the station was worth 800,
900 last April. il assuredly was worti
$4,000 on Monday. Not single mem
Der OF the court who reversed bis
position can give really satisfactory
reason for so doing. Some Of them
pretended that the prices asked for
the lands were too high, but the men
OF the city familiar with real estate
values know that there is little virtue
in this objection.
The experiment station would have
been a great benefit to the county.
The court thought so we'll of it that
by a unanimous vote five months ago
they appropriated 100000 to secure
its location. Ii would have been even
more valuable now than it was then.
Ii is true that some sentiment was
engendered against it by those citi-
zens who never count the blessings
of government, but who look upon
every dollar Of taxes that they pay
as that much gone forever, who have
little sentiment of patriotism and who
never by any means do anything for
the public benefit that they can avoid.
These unpatriotic and selfish citi-
zens convinced many well intentioned
individuals that an experiment station
would not be worth the price. They
jumped to a too hasty conclusion.
They did not take the trouble to inves-
tigate for themselves and as re-
suit, members of the county court,
who only few short weeks ago pro-
claimed their progress. cringed before
what they CONSIDERED hostile senti
ment and reversed their former &C.
ton.
The county will be the loser The
really progressive and patriotic citi-
zens who opposed the location of the
station here will realize before many
years that they were in error and
that they have helped to deny to the
future citizens of the county the great
est blessing that could possibly have
come to them.
The Herald has been one of the,I
foremost advocates of the station and |
it is keenly disappointed, but |
It can stand the loss better than the |
farmers of the county.

TO REGISTER WOMEN.

tion will not be compulsory. 1t VIII
be purely patriotic response to a
request of the government Wo do
not know precisely for what purpose
the registration will be made, but the
inference is that the names will be
used in a compilation OF the re-
sources OF the country to meet any
extremity that would demand the uni
ted effort of the women and the men,
the women to conduct the industries
and commerce OF the nation while the
men are fighting. There are many
other reasons for this registration, no
doubt, but il there were no reason
whatever apparent to us, the fact that
II Is a part OF the war program should
be sufficient cause for this paper to
urge all the women of Maury coun-
~ to respond to it and for the women
themselves to see to it that it is
success.
Miss Sue S. White. OF Jackson, who
will have charge of the registration
in Tennessee for the Womans Com
mittee, says in letter to the editor
of The Herald that the time is so
rlose at hand that every possible
agency must be employed to arouse
the women to the responsibility of di-
recting the work, and to the further
end that the mass of women will do
their part and present themselves for
registration.
This will not be a registration for
Hillary service, of course, but for a
Tvice that means more food, more
-pnfort and better health for the men
al the front and for the children at
home.
The end of the war is not within
the vision of any human being. Be-
for the Huns of central Europe have
been crushed or compelled to surren-
der, hundreds of thousands of lives
must be sacrificed and the people of
each Of the nations allied against the
tTucuient enemies of democracy must
bear heavy burdens to sustain the
r1en IN the field. This burden must
be borne in America by the women
as well as by the men. II can be
made lighter only by an equitable |
distribution upon all, and that distri-
button can be accomplished only by
systematic efforts and thorough CO.
operation. The system and coopera-
ton to be attained will be measured !
