There IS more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together. and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies. and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly Influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &

Despotism az a Government.

Unlimited power is the ideal thing
when it is in safe hands. The despot-
ism Of heaven is the one absolutely
perfect government. An earthly des-
pottsm would be the absolutely perfect
earthly government If the conditions
were the same-namely, the despot the
perfectest individual Of the human
race and his lease Of life perpetual.
But as a perishable perfect man must
die and leave his despotism in the
hands Of an imperfect successor an
earthly despotism is not merely a bad
form Of government; it is the worst
pOssible.-Mark Twain.

A WARTIME RELIC.

Mrs. J. H. Patton has in her
possession a faded and torn bit of
a newspaper which was published
in Marietta during the War Be-
tween the States. It is only a small
sheet and the heading is 1.-THE
Chattanooga Daily Rebel" 1t
bears the date Oct. %, 1853. Of
course. it was originally published
in Chattanooga, but as the army
fell back it was published in other
places. The story of its discovery
and return is interesting. Found
in box of things belonging to a
Union soldier, his sister had the
inspiration to send 1t back to it's
starting point, SO, like the little
cannon, it mas come home to Ma
rietta. These quotations are from
the letter which accompanied 1t:
&Since you care for it, | am
more than glad to mail you the bit
of torn relic, with one or two other
scraps. Where they came from, |
do not know. Whether from some
Virginia battlefield or the hospi-
tai, / cannot tell. ! only know they
were in that box. My brother was
never out of Virginia, and early
went to a soldiers grave, and / am
thankful those old days of misun-
derstanding and bitterness are
past, never to return in America, |
hope. Life is short at best and it
is better to live in CHEEKY friend
ship with our world and it's peo-
pie than carry over the wrongs ami
the shadows"
A point of interest in connection
with the little paper is that Henry
Watterson, later of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, was it's editor, and
lengthy article on "the Late Cam
paign" in this issue is signed with
his initials
1t is needless to say that Mrs.
Patton prizes the little sheet and
she intends having it mounted I'M
der glass for safe keeping.

WHERE CREDIT is DUE.

The danger of a nationwide
strike is passed, and the people of
the country have been spared the
hardship which would have un-
questionably resulted had the rail
road managers not yielded to the
pressure of a national emergency
and proved their patriotism.
The railroad managers gave In
after the brotherhood heads mad re-
fused and, ignoring the fact that
the nation was on the verge of war
and absolutely dependent upon the
railroads for the handling of men
and munitions in the event of hos
tilities, were preparing to paraiyze
the commerce of the country with
progressive" strike.
While the railroads have lost
their fight with the brotherhoods
and will have to pay out between
$12,000,000 and S14,000,000 for
accumulated overtime, they have
won the everlasting gratitude of
the American people, and have won
moral victory.
The railroads have also demon
strated their patriotism in a more
substantial manner than in mere
declaration of words"
They responded to the appeal of
the President at a time when the
country so sorely needed them, and
averted an industrial disturbance
that would have resulted in the
loss of millions perhaps, aside from
the confusion and delay of traffic
generally.
AS the News Scimitar of Memphis
so aptly puts it: 'In thus giving
in the railroads have lost, in the
sense of receeding from the position
they took as proper for their in
terests. But in responding to their
patriotic duty to avoid an inter
nal clash, when all resources of
this country should be united in
readiness to confront a possible a
lien foe, the railroads have won a
great moral victory.
"The people will not forget the
circumstances of this industrial
peace"

THE PLAIN TRUTH

The high cost of living has made
many man think of the comforts
he might find on little farm. One
of the leading railroads of the South
has just put forth a unique idea.
1t is providing ready made farms
of one acre each. with a two-room
bungalow, flock of chickens, poul-
try house, two pigs and farming
implements complete for $3.50. The
little plot is carefully laid out for
the planting of potatoes, cabbages,
tomatoes and other vegetables, a
grape arbor and a patch for ber-
ries. This gives the enterprisng
homemaker an opportunity, on a
scientific scale, to show what an
acre will do, Half of the plot is
left for food crops. The half acre
planted as above, it is said. will
raise enough garden stuff to feed
twenty persons. Is this a solution
of the problem of living COST

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN

President Wilson has issued a call
for recruits for the navy and the Ma
Wy Department has sent us a letter
setting forth the needs of that branch
of the national defense, asking taat
we bring the matter to the atten-
tion of our readers. AS we feel
that we cannot make the matter any
clearer we are just using their let
ter which is as follows
Our Navy today is in urgent need
of 800 men to man its ships. In
other words, we are short Just
enough men to man 22 dread
naughts of the PENNSYLVANIA
class, our latest type of battleship.
When it is considered that there are
at present only $4,000 men in the
Navy it may be realized what this
shortage of men means in the way
of preparedness of our fleet. At
this critical time in our national
life it is of the utmost Importance
that the Navy-"Our first line of
Defense" be recruited up to full
strength.
More men are enlsting in the
Navy now than ever before in the
history of the country. These are
the young men who are an honor to
themselves and their country aud
of whom every real American has
just reason to be proud There are
thousands more men just like these
and the Navy needs tneir service -
not sometime, if we have war, but
NOW.
The duty of filling the Navy
rests primarily with the citizens of
this country, and every American
citizen who is worthy of the name
should do his part in helping to
man our ships Ships have been
built for the defense of the country,
and now it is up to the people tG
man them. There is no time to
lose. If the Navy is called, we want
every unit of the fleet to go out
fully manned with trained men.
There is prevalent idea among
civilians that "the only time to
render service to your country is
in time of war" Also there has
been so much talk to the effect that
we can rise up in our might over
night and send forth an invincible
Navy and Army that some believe
it. Sucn false ideas are to be de-
plored and should be dispelled at
once. Men for the Navy must he
trained before they can render their
country efficient service.
1t is to be regretted that some
parents not only use their influence
to prevent their sons from enlisting
but in many cases refuse to sign
the age certificate required. 1t is
the patriotic privilege of parents to
inculcate in their sons 'love of
country and that mis- first duty is
to his country" and those who fail
do not see their duty clearly.
1t is urged on all leaders of
community thought to consider Sc
riously the critical situation. tne
imperative need of the Navy the
necessity to be prepared to act
quickly, and to cooperate with re-
cruiting officers in putting the facts
squarely before the people
No more patriotic service can be
rendered than to help make the
Navy what is required in size.
1t is requested and urged that
you publish all or part of this letter
that you give the subject serious
thought which / trust will lead you
to treat it editorially
Respectfully,

inteesting statement given by Mrs

is of an advanced age.
"I suffred from an awful case CT
Indigestion said Mrs. Gillian, land
I was so weak / could hardly walk
and relay I should have been in bed
My feet and legs burned all the
time, my whole system was weaken
ed and run down and I was very pale
My appetite had left and I never
becme hungry. My health had been
bad for seveal years. Hundreds OF
dollars worth of medicines had been
bought for me, but none gave me
much relief, and I steadily became
worse and lost weight until I was
skin and bones almost and seemed
to be slowly starving to death.
"Soon after I strated taking Tan
lac, my appetite returned and my
stomch was strengthened and the in
digestion left ME. Now I am eating
heartily and food is digested and
nourishes me. 1 gained twenty-five
or thirty pounds after I started TAX
ing Tanlac. The home folks luagh
at me now because I eat so much.
I was just about big enough to make
a shadow when I started Tanlac, but
now I am at normal weight.
"Tanlac is the finest restorer and
tonic 1 ever used. It oon got me
strong enough to do my Homework,
despite my years, and it is the only
medicine I ever took that gave me
permanent relief, and I guess it
can be truly said that I had n foot
in the grave when I began taking it.
Tanlac certainly is u standby now,
and both my husband and myself
think the world of it, for I expect
it gave me a number of years more

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why a Corn 10 So Painful and
Says Cutting Makes Them
Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn it
pushes its sharp roots down upon a
sensitive nerve and you get a shock
of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of feezone.
This will cost very little but is suf-
fcient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. A
few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness instantly, and soon the corn
shrivels up so it lifts riught out, root
and all, without pain. This drug
f%reezone is harmless and never in
flames Or even irritates the sur
rounding skin.-Adv.

sheep, and horses.
A tremendous waste of feeding
stuffs occurs annually on American
farms, according to figures presented
in this publication. In 1914 about l2O
million tons of straw were produced
in the United States. Of this amount
IS per cent was fed to livestock, Is
per cent was burned, 8 per cent sold,
and 22 per cent plowed under or 9TH
erwise disposed of. Corn slower pro-
duced in the United States is estl-
mated at 245,253,O00 tons, of which
S1k per cent is fed to cattle and
other stock. No figures were obtain
ed to show the percentages that is
wasted in the feeding, but at least 35
per cent of the total amount pro-
duced represents actual waste.
This waste of corn slower can be
checked, it is said, through use OF
better methods of feeding fodder and
slower and it can be almost entirely
stopped through the use Of sllos
Straw and slower are best utilized for
feed when accompanied by concen-
trates, such as cottonseed meal. If
the large amounts of cottonseed meal
ordinarily used for fertilizer in the
| South were, instead, fed to livestock
and the manure used for fertilizer,
the value of the meal would be in
creased from so to IS per cent.
Practical experience as well as e
detrimental work has taught that
straw and slower can be used very
economically in the rations of almost
all kinds of live stock. They a be
used in the %fattening rations CT all
farm animals except hogs and should
compose the larger part of all Win
tering or keeping rations of cattle,
sheep, and horses. Breeding herds OF
beef cattle or dry dairy COWS a be
successfully kept on rations compos-
ed largely of these roughages. Flocks
of breeding ewes do we'll on such
feeds when some grain is added
Horses doing very light work o. no
work at all need little grain if given
a plentiful allowance of clean, light
straw or slower. Under certain con-
ditions, of course, grain should be
added to the ration, but now it SHOULD
be conserved as largely as possible
for human consumption. The bulle-
tin mentioned suggests various ra-
lions which are made up principally
of these waste feeds.-The Progress
