Proper Time For Holding Convention

though it be, but in action ne'erthe.
less, the duties which the days bring
forth, be they those Of the problem OF
individual life or those which the com.
mon veal and affairs of state present.
The glow of patriotism will animate
the soldiers Of the Republic to uphold
its traditions and its honor. 1t will
sustain the citizenship of the land to
patient endurance of all needful sacri-
fees and to the highest conception Of
civic duty to the state.
The intense realization of common
and great responsibility which has
come to all classes, the growing reality
of common sacrifices and self-denial;
the shadow of impending common
griefs and heartaches-th viii bind
all together in ties of kindredship and
in fealty to land and commonwealth
whose depth and rover no other gen.
Grafton has witnessed from Yorktown
down.
At such time, when the voice of
partisan rancor and vulgar political In
trigue will have silenced, and when
sentiments of unselfshness and high
regard for ideals of government and
of law, of living and of life, are asway
in the bosoms Of the people, the mat
ter of framing new charter of guild
ance and of government for the COM
monwealth would at once challenge
the interest and receive the thoughtful
attention of the people with an appeal
ing force, and certainty of worthy
response.
The presence Of this all-pervasive
and dominant spirit Of patriotism that
will be seen III Tennessee next year,
as now will be an evident and ample
assurance that convention to con-
struct a new stitution-subjeet to
the final endorsement or rejection of
every act by the sovereign and observ-
ant electorate-would be composed Of
representatives of the finest manhood
the highest character and the ripest
wisdom of the state, great body of
men of thought and faith and purpose
6ad ideals, building in a serious pres
ent Tor widening future.

THREE MAIN THINGS
ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS

Let the patient fix firmly in his mind
the three fundamental principles upon
which the cure for consumption is
based: air, food. and rest. The spe.
cific instructions regarding exercise
must be obeyed. In cases where there
is as much as a degree of fever, the
least exertion will be harmful. In
cases where fever is absent, over ex-
ertion and excitement must be as care
fully avoided as catching cold.
AS a rule consumptives have dis
taste for food. One possessing a good
appetite is considered fortunate, as eat
ing almost to the extent Of stufilng, is
quite necessary. Foods that give flesh
and strength are most desirable, such
as milk, eggs, meats, nuts, butter, veg
etables cooked with meat or fats. The
regular three meals, or even four
meals per day, are advocated. Con-
sumption is one disease in which solid
foods are insisted upon.-Lena A. War

tension, University of Tennessee,
