Writers on hygienic diet are practi-
cally unanimous in condemning the use
Of much, if any pork as human food
1t is not true that the hog is necessa-
rily a lover of foulness, nor that he
was created by the Almighty for the
special purpose of consuming offal, as
the eminent DR.. Stall says, but it is
true that man has condemned him
largely to such a diet. All pork, we
knw is subject to infection by micro
croscopic parasites. 1t is difficult to
see how we could get along without
pork-although the Jews and some
other races do it-but it is a fact that
a regular diet of pork has bad effects.
Pork gluttons as a rule are heavy,
dull, beastlike people; the hog gets his
revenge on those who eat him by MAX
ing them as near like themselves as
possible. The idea now occurs that the
Germans as a rule are great pork eat
ers; they over-indulge in all kinds of
pork products. while they have never
used much beef, mutton, or other clean
meats. The fat of pork is admittedly
supplies a large amount of energy.
and therein pork is an efficient food,
but when it is made a chief element of.
the food diet it produces a grossness
of body, mind and soul. The Germans
are eating practically no pork now
but are condemned to subsist on vege-

into this war by joining the ranks of
those who use guns as they fight, we
realize all the more that we, too, must
fight by producing more and more
food crops. The one idea, whether at
home or not, is that of winning the
war for democracy.
The producers have been doing their
share. They will continue to do so.
And as they learn betetr what to do
they will be more successful in their
results.
The call of the president as he looks
at the worldwide situation is that
more foodstuffs are produced and that
more be saved. This does not mean
that the organization of the farm
is to be changed, for the president real
ICES that this may be a war covering
many years and if our agriculture were
to be disorganized for this present
year, the years that are to come would
be inadequately handled. We must
build our farms for permanent useful
ness.
And in this connection, it may be
said that the county organizations In
agriculture and fod preparedness may
well be considered from a permanent
point Of view. We shall need much
food whether the war lasts or not, and
certainly if the war lasts.

porarily laid down.
But the qualifications for a success
full kindergarten teacher are rare. Few
people possess them. One must not
only love children and be possessed Of
unlimited patience, but also able to
put oneself in harmony with child
life and able to see clearly the child's
point Of view. The successful teacher
must be able to enter Fundamentally
into all the interests that go to make
up the child's world as in no other way
can the confidence and love of the child
be gained, and without these the teach
ers effort are worse than wasted.

had more to do in the great improve

work to do along this line. We COM

Perhaps it may be that they will be-
come purified by this enforced rational
diet, and purged of their febrile lust
for blood and conquest, so that they
will eventually listen to reason. A
heavy German diet is enough to make
anyone want to fight somebody. The
sharps have all been trying to discov-

the demand and the price.

the demand and the price.
When permitted free movement, the
products of this country are always
equal TO any demand. This is not true
however, when q large proportion Of
our products is cOrnered and retired
from the channels of trade until scar
city forces prices to a fictitious level.
When cold storage first came into
general use it was hailed as n Of
the greatest discoveries of any age
We very much fear, however, that it Is
fast becoming our chief oppressor, un-
less we can take its power out Of UNI
scrupulous hands,
1t is time for us to awake to the
Importance of DEMANDING the
square deal, as well as according it.
National disaster faces us if we do
not.

Mankind is prone to regard a good
memory as a possession beyond price.
This it certainly is-within limitations.
Yet there are conditions under which
a short memory would be much more
valuable. We would benefit by forget
ting the petty sights and insults; by
ceasing to envy those more fortunate;
by wiping from our minds all traces
of bitterness v wrongs and injustice
Such a faculty for forgetting would
leave in the human heart memories
the antithesis Of these, that would
bless and sweeten our lives and the
lives of those about US.

that the German rulers are a marked,

If the common people could just realize
this and understand how superior they
are to these rulers, they might send

DEMAND A SQUARE DEAL.

DEMAND A SQUARE DEAL.
We as a people are in danger of los
ing our grip on one of our most cher
ished traits of character-fairness
Time was when this word and all that
it stands for were written broad on our
national life, and we have prided our
selves on our readiness to accord to
any and all people a square deal.
And, paradoXical as it may seem,
this trait still predominates. We are
as ready as ever to grant large just
ice to all. But GRANTING justice is
only one-sided fairness-but one side
of the human equation.
We should DEMAND justice and fair
ness, each for self and for others.
This we are rapidly ceasing to do.
Year by year we are more and more
sleeping on our individual and collec-
tive rights, and others, more active
and aggressive are usurping them.
The resources-yes, the actual pro-
ductions-of this great nation are so
abundant that want" should be an
unknown word with us. Yet want ex-
lists and exists largely.
With our great wealth we should
be the most care free people in the
world, but we are not. Lines Of care
are deep upon the national brow.
All of this because we sleep upon
u rights and will not rise up and
demand a square deal. We allow con-
gress to misrepresent us and have not
the energy or the nerve to elect a
congress which will force justice and
fairness for US.
1t is time we arose in our might and
demanded that the price booster and
Spectator must go, and he will not go
until we do.
We are hopelessly in the hands of
the exploiter-the Spectator in other
peoples rights and privileges. From
the man on the corner who sells, us a
pair of shoestrings for twice their
worth because he knows we would not
walk a block for the difference, up to
the giant corporation that furnishes
the steel for our buildings at more
than its worth because he KNOWS
we can get it nowhere else. all are out
for the exploitation of the other fell
low.
We have aid that we as a people
are ready as ever to accord fairness to
all. Yet the very presence of oppres-
sion and extortion in u midst has a
tendency to breed in us a disregard
for this principle.
Doubtless you are familiar with the
story Of the Arab and his camel-how
it intruded its head into its masters
tent, which the latter kindly permit
ed. But meeting no resistance, it was
not long before the camel was in the
tent and its master was excluded.
1t is so with us. We are systemat-
ically exploited and held up by the
spectators and Shylocks until we are
in danger of supinely surrendering to
their every demand.
There is absolutely no reason for the
extortionate prices we have been pay
ing for many months, except the mach
nations Of the trusts, the storage COM
panies, the spectators, or all who can
any way hold in restraint the sup
ply, and BY unfair means stimulate

We beg to announce that the First National Bank and the First Saw
mgs Bank & TrustCoY ofBrownsvile, Tenn, have been consolidated under
the name of THE FIRST STATE BANK of Brownsville, Tenn, with paid
up capital of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, and with the same officers
and directors who have managed the business of the First National Bank
for so many years.
Since the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank System, which
is reaIy the United States Government Banking System now, there is no
special reason why a bank should operate under a National. Bank charter
the state laws are good, especially the bank is member of the Federal
Reserve System. Within the last few years good bank laws have been
passed in Tennessee Supervision by State authorities, examinations and
restrictions are ample for protection of depostors, and the laws are
adapted to local needs THE FIRST STATE BANK will not only be I'M
der state supervision, but has already taken steps to enter the Federal
Reserve Bank System, and as member of this System will be under Gov
eminent Supervision as well as State control.
The Bank is larger and stronger than ever begore in its history and
sir better position to serve its customers. The same careful policy which
built up this large, successful business will be continued by the officers and
directors, with due regard for the safety of the funds intrused to them by
depositors, and for the best good of the whole community.
We ask for the FIRST STATE BANK a continuance Of the confidence
and support with which you have favored the First National Bank in the
past. Certificates of Deposit may be held by our customers until maturity
and then exchanged for new certificates, or the change will be made at the
, pleasure Of our customer. All outstanding obligations of the National
Bank are now obligations of the First State Bank.
New check books will be furnished to depostos as rapidly as possible
and in the mean time checks drawn on he First National Bank forms will
be honored by the First State Bank.

The Coming Baby

Every help that will tend to aid the expectant mother and foster the well-being of the tiny infant should bs promptly rendered.
 The time before childbirth is one of much discomfort. This is caused in a large measure by the tightening and straining of the abdominal tis- sues, as well as the network of cords, Pigments and muscles in that part of the body.
 For many years thousands of women have successfully used the preparation known as Mothers Friend" It is safe and dependable to be used by every prospective mother. A famous physician formu lated the preparation. Mothers Friend" is for external use, and is composed of special oils and other in gradients which have a penetrating and softening effect. Relief from much of the pain at the crisis is found.
 Any woman awaiting childbirth should secure a bottle of Mothers Friend" from her druggist, when the abdomen first begins to expand. No time should be lost in beginning it's uss. Apply it night and morning without fail. Address Bradfield Regu- lator Company, Dept. B, 5S2 Atlanta, Ca, for valuable guide book; it is free.

In Memqriam

Whereas God, in his infinite wisdom. has taken from our midst Bro. Geo. w. Russell,
 Be it resolved by the Baraca class of Ozark Methodist Sunday School that in the death of Bro. Russell this class and the Sun day School have lost member who was always devoted to the interests of his class and school.
 Bro. Russell was an honest. true man. generous to a fault. He was. by nature, sympathetic and kind. The sufferings and misfortune of others seemed to pierce his very soul. No one would respond more nobly than he when the storms of adversity swept the lives of his friends.
 Bro. Russell was the very soul of honor and business integrity. Always prompt himself to meet his business obligations. he was never eXacting toward others An honest story of suffering and misfortune never failed to evoke a generous response from his heart and purse.
 Bro. Russell was not free from the frailities of our humanity: and, indeed, his life was often a struggle against a weakness that threatened to impair his useful ness; but amid his struggles and temptations. his generous nature and kindly spirit bespoke to the world the basic elements of true manhood. He never betrayed a friends trust, and always the beacon light of progress and hopes seemed to beckon him on.
 We believe that Bro. Russell will be greatly missed here by his friends and business associa- tes; but his death, perhaps, will be more keenly felt by his friends and customers in the sur rounding country who have ex- perienced the substantial fruits of his friendship.
 Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of our class and a copy furnished the family of the deceased.
 Respectfully submitted.
