This unfounded story has been
flatly contradicted by officials of the
local chapter. No person connected
with any department Of the Maury
county chapter of the Red Cross re-
ceives a salary or one penny's COM
pensation for the time and energy
they are giving to the humanitarian
work. Miss Elizabeth Whithhorne as
secretary of the chapter gives many
hours each day in charge of the head
quarters and receives not one penny
for her services. Mrs. John T. Woot-
en- and other ladies direct the work
rooms of the chapter without a penny
of compensation and without desire
for compensation. They are laboring
for the love of their country. Scores
of women sew and knit hour after

of the war.
Seventy-five per cent of the mem
bership fees will be retained by the
local chapter for expenses, which
consist of buying wool and cloth for
knitting and making the sweaters,
gloves, hospital supplies and various
articles used for the comfort and re-

made by the Red Cross workers here
from the material so purchased is
sent to the Atlanta Red Cross depot

the hospitals in France or to the
camp and cantonment hospitals in
America. Nothing is sold by the Red

JUDICIAL TICKET.

No democrat can have just cause
to complain at the result of the
democratic judicial convention. The
ticket for the supreme court is not
Just what The Herald would have had
it, but it Is made up of five very able
lawyers, all of them citizens OF integ
srity and clean lives. The majority OF
them are in full sympathy with the
progressive and moral legislation that
has been enacted in this state in re.
cent years. They are abreast of the
times. Two of the members have
had eight years of experience ON the
highest court and one was before
that for eight years q chancellor. The
East Tennessee member is now a cir
cult judge. One of the West Tennes-
see mebers served for eight years ON
the court of appeals and the other IL
one of the ablest lawyers of that
division, and has been on the chan.
Gerry bench for eight years.
Very happy selections indeed were
made for the court Of appeals The
ticket should be especially pleasing to
MauFy county democrats as the dele
; cation from this county. uninstructed
and made up Of members Of all fac
tons, voted for all of the winners. No
better equipped lawyer in the state
could have been nominated than
Walter Faw, Of our neighboring coun-
ty of Williamson. He is 2 student
and is possessed of fne legal mind.
His experience for ten years as assist
ian to the attorney general of the
state gave him splendid training for
a judge. Sgd Clark, Of Trenton, is
not only a Christian gentleman of
the highest type, but he Is splendid
practitioner and has judicial mind.
Lawyers who know Owen declare that
ne is the peer of the best, The re-
nomination of that splendid Did Con-
,federate hero, Frank Wilson, was the
most appropriate thing that has been
done in Tennessee politics in some
time Maury countians feel a pard-
enable pride in the nomination Of
their former distinguished fellow
citizen r. H. Sansom who also mar
'ried one of this county's finest
daughters. Politicians made a des-
perate effort to defeat him but his
sterling worth was too highly appre-
ciated by majority of the delegates
to make that possible.

SOME GERMS ARE GOOD FOR FOOD-ANOTHER,

Mans bacterial friends have been
found not less active than, and many
times as numerous as, his bacterial
foes.
When bacteria grow in food the
products of decomposition are diff
ferent from the original nature of the
food and produce new odors and
tastes. We often need the flaYors
thus produced to stimulate the flow
Of the digestive juices.
The most common substances that
owe their flavor largely to the pres
ence of bacteria are butter, cheese
and vinegar. without bacteria, but
ter lacks favor. When you next en-
joy the acidity of pickle, remember
to give credit for that pleasant sour
ness to certain tiny plants such as
those you have seen massed togeth-
er in mother of vinegar.
Our Puritan grandmothers would
have thought us bewitched had we
been able to tell them that their
cheeses, ON which they spent many
watchful hours, owed their making
and their flavor largely to invisible
plants. Even now scientists are I'M
able to explain this process fully, al
though they are certain that there
could be no cheese without bacteria.
Some icro-organisms are para
sites that produce disease. They feed
on living plants and animals, It is
now known that microbes are the
cause Of many contagious or infec-
tioUs diseases, such as tuberculosis,
diphtheria and typhoid fever.
If a person becomes infected with
disease germs it is quite possible for
him to pass on the germs to others
through careless habits. Cases Of |
sickness cared for at home make it |

bacteriology and strenuous care TO
prevent infection.
Boiling for 20 minutes will gener-
ally, but not always, kill most forms
of bacteria, including the spores.
Water is pronounced safe when it is
thus boiled. Mere simmering of wa
ter is not sufficient.
Direct sunshine kills most bacteria.
Many persons are afraid to take
fresh air and sunshine in sufficient
quantities to counteract the bad in
fluence of dark rooms, moisture and
poor air; yet Of all the bactericides
known there is none that compares
in effectiveness with sunshine. Much
suffering would be saved If persons
could only be brought to realiza-
ton of this fact.
About 30 per cent moisture is re-
quired for the growth of bacteria. In
order to preserve seeds we dry them
and they do not begin to sprout until
they are moistened when needed for
planting. 1t must be- remembered
that drying only arrests the growth
Of bacteria and that when food has
over 80 per cent of moisture there is
danger Of its spelling.
Antiseptics are materials that re-.
tard or prevent the growth Of bacte-
ria. A heavy sugar solution prevents
the growth Of bacteria. Salt is very
commonly used in the household to
prevent bacterial growth. Acids pro-
tect food from bacteria and give a.
new flavor. Spices are antiseptics
and are added to foods to prevent pu-
trefactiOn.
