Range Blows Up
Fat Hen Goes Up.

Mans fondest hopes are often
smashed all to smitbereens. So it
was with DR.. Copeland's Sunday
dinner. The good doctor prepared
a nice fat hen for his Sunday din
ner. This was on Saturday night.
Also on this night the mercury
took a tumble and water in all ves-
sells froze hard. DR.. Copeland's
heater in his range froze, and
when he builded q fire in the range
Sunday morning the thing explod.
ed. Mrs. Copeland was hard by
the range preparing the meal and
an eve from the range narrowly
missed striking her in the head;
but fortunately, no one was iDjur-
ed, though the range was badly
damaged.
DR.. Copeland's nearest neigh
Dor, Gen. Killebrew, is authority
for the statement that DR.. Cope.
land can beat any man in the
United States running. He also
states that DR.. Copeland's fine fat
hen was last seen going through a
window, while the doctor took the
door route for safety.

in Tennessee now escaping tax
alton. None OF the estimates fall
below $1OO,OOO,OO0. The uncover
ing will show the total to be-more
than this. If it should be $780,
100000, the state alone, at the
present state rate of 95 cents,
would increase its annual revenue
$500,000. The joint finance com.
mittee is also considering a new
revenue law, regulating the privi-
lege tax, but it is not expected
that the increase in revenue though
this will amount to so very much.
Almost everything that can be tax.
ed as a privilege is already taxed
in Tennessee. There may be
few raises.

RESTORED TO HEALTH
BY RED CROSS SEALS

Holiday Messengers Bring Happiness
to Homes 6urdened With TubercuIosls
Deserted by her husband, suffering
from tuberculosis in double form and
supporting herself and young boy by
her needle, the Anti-Tuberculosi AS
ISOLATION In Western city found an
unfortunate consumptive, living in one
room with two little beds-one for her.
self and one for her boy. Everything
was clean; but, oh, so poor!
That was year ago.
This morning she took train for
the state sanitorium, where she will
have a chance to get well, while her
boy Is being cared for by the Anti.
Tuberculosis Association with funds
derived from the Red Cross Seal Sale.
Here is the story of another family
where happiness and health were
brought through the medium of Red
Cross Seals:
tuberculosis had made heavy de-
mands upon the family, and the in
come had entirely stopped for several
months. 1t was inevitable that they
should run into debt for grocery bills
as well as the rent. With such worry,
anxiety and depression it is not al
ways easy to find silver lining in
the clouds. The condition was recog-
nized, however, by the visiting nurse,
and the sick father was sent to hos.
pital, and proper care was provided
for the others. Relief was also OBJ.
tanned, and now both rent bills and
grocery bills are being gradually less
ened each week. Each member of
the family has had nursing care for
some ailment or other.

7ODR|VE TAX DODG-
ERS FROM COVER.
Legislature Probably Will Change Assess.
ment Laws. May Adopt Stamp Tax
To Increase Revenue.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 12.-Jus
now there are two prominent
undesirables .uppermost in the
minds of the legislators. One j;
the bootlegger. The other is the
tax dodger. There is a doubt
which of the two would have the
better right to complain at being
classed with the other.
The legislature is making dive
at both.
The temperance committee oil
the house has agreed to give the
wholesale whiskey dealers until
May l, to fold their tents like the
Arab. Roundabout information
from the Joint finance committee
is that the tax dodger is to be
brought from cover by one Of the
most radical changes in the as
sessment laws since the adoption
Of the constitution Of 1870.
This change will 60 primarily to
the uncovering of about $150,000,.
900 or more Of personal property
which feeble laws and lenient tax
assessors have permitted to re-
main hidden:Iduring the passing
years, Investigators hesitate to
indicate the scheme which will be
adopted to bring this property to
light, They admit that they are
considering more than one plan.
1t is predicted that one of the
principal plans will be the adoption
of the stamp tax. Tax experts
contend that, Of all plans, this is
the safest, 1t would simply mean
that every note or any other certif-
cate of indebtedness must be
stamped by the state. The stamp
ing fee would be small. An entry
wonld be made on every note SO
stamped. The note would not be
valid unless stamped, and it would
be against the law to handle a note
that was not stamped.
In this way the state would have
a record Of all notes. The assessor
would merely go to the record and
make up his assessment roll.
There are various estimates Of
the amount of personal property

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? II is much the
same way with Il cough. A cough is
Il danger signm as much as fire

press il than to stop fire bell when
1t Is rlngin" but should cure the dis
ease that causes the cough. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chambe'lain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is specially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, And

ter my husband takes cold easily
and coughs and cougs. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking up these attacks and

.IRON-CLAD BARRIER AGAINST
LIQUOR is APPROVED BY HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 21.-Absolute
prohibition legislation took its long
est forward stride in the nations his
tory today when the house after two
hours of uproarious debate, approved
by to majority a senate meas
ure which would raise an iron-clad
barrier against importation of liquor
into prohibition States. 1t is expected
to receive the approval of President
Wilson within week, adding, imme-
diately to the "bone dry" territory
about one-third of continental United
States.
The provision is regarded as the
most far-reaching that could be en-
acted by the federal government and
as sweeping as would be possible I'M
der any method short of national
prohibition amendment. 1t would cut
off entirely liquor appropriations
amounting now to millions of dollars
annually, into the large number of
States which have forbidden manu-
facture or sale, but have permitted
importation for personal use.

DIR. HOMER ANDERSON AT RoA-
NOKE COLLEGE.

The Salem correspondent of the
Roanoke Times, sent his paper the
following, appearing in the issue Of
Tuesday morning: "a
"The Rev. r. Homer Andersot
Burke's Garden, Va, brought a vk3fe
stirring message to the students oil
Roanoke College in anniversary adj
dress before the Y. M. C. A. in Col
lege Lutheran church, salem, last ev,
ening. The Manliness of Christian.
ity," was the speakers appropriate
theme.
"Thc sermon was based on Luke O.
15-"When the time was come that
he should be received up, ne stead
tasty set his face toward Jerusa-
lem" The consideration of the text
which refers to Christ's last visit to
Jerusalem, was three-fold; the Wis
ion He had of the city, the valor He
showed in going there, and the VIC
tory won there. Christ had pronounc-
ed the city doomed because he saw it
irremediably hostile to Him. But this
vision of hostility neither angered
nor hindered Him. The greatest test
of valor is in the single combat. Je-
sus fought his last great battle alone,
for his disciples had fled in the white
heat of the crisis. Love was for
Christ the means of victory. His
compassion for men is the love that
goes willingly forward and dies for
others wrongs. The victory of His
death was the answer OF y. I'D to the
heart-cry of humanity for something
to rest upon and the crucifixion ought
to cause men never again to think
lightly of sin. The belief in Christ's
victory over the world is the rock
bottom of Christianity. st is not in
SO far as man doubts, but in so far
as he believes that he can live the
life that wins. Life without belief is
a broken pillar; the race Of men, an
unfinished pyramid"
"The speaker appealed to the young
men to be, like Christ. manly. valiant.
righteausly obstinate, steadfast and
infeXiblc. sOur wills arc never free
until they elect to serve him, Be
strong in Christ to the tip-end of your
life. Christianity is not bed Of ris-
es. lovely song. balm for earth's
sutferings; it is iron in the blood, the
shout of battle, n continuous warfare
with no furlough granted. The big
ness of the conflict against cveil chal-
lenges the redest blooded men that
live. The world needs, not n Chris
tianity clothed in philosophy and dec
GRATED with the trappings of men. but
4 Christianity without frills, plain as
q peasant face and as practical as
the Good Samaritan" In. closing,
the. speaker urged his hearers to live
in the grip of the grand purposes to
be realized through the drawing pow
or OF Gods constraining love.

While very evident that such an ar

WE'VE DONE OUR HITCH IN
HE'LL"
CON THE MEXICAN RORDER>

Pm sitting here thinking of the
things left behind,
And hate to put on paper what i.
running through my mind;
We've dug million trenches, ant
cleared ten miles OF ground
And meaner place this side OF
HELL, ! know is still unfound;
But there's one consolation gather
closely while I tell
When we die We're bound fol-
HEAVEN, for we've done oul
hitch in HE'LL.
We've built Il hundred kitchens fol
the cooks to stew our beans,
We've stood Il hundred guard mounts
and cleaned the camp latrincs;
we've washed Il million mess kits
and peeled n million spuds.
We've rolled Il million blanket rolls
and washed million duds:
The number Of parades we've made
would be hard to tell,
But they'll not parade in HEAVEN
for we've done our hitch in HE'LL
We've killed million rattlcsnakes
that tried to take our cots,
And shook a hundred ccntipcdcs
from out our army socks
We've marched Il hundred thousand
miles and made thousand camps.
And pulled million cactus thorns
from out our army pants;
But when our work on earth is done
our friends behind will tell,
When they died they went to HEAV
en-, for they did their hitch in
HE'LL.
When the final taps are sounded, and
we lay aside life's cares.
And we do the last parade up the
shining golden stairs.
And the angels bid us welcome, and
the harps begin to play,
And we can draw Il million canteen
checks and spend them in a day
1t is then we'll hear st. Peter tell us
loudly with a yell,
Take front seat. SEVENTH for
you've done your hitch in HELL.

For seven years the insurance man
