When To Hatch Chickens.

Because of Tennessee's favor
able climatic conditions, north
ern cities depend on Tennessee
for great quantity of eggs DUR
ing November, December and
January. In order to get a pro-
fitable egg supply beginning the
latter part of October, one should
hatch pullets not later than the
last week in March, preferably
from the last of February to the
middle of March. These pullets
should be hatched from eggs pro
duced by hens selected as the
winter egg layers the year pre-
vious. These hens should not
have been forced for egg produc-
ton this season.
The young chickens should be
well fed and cared for from the
time they hatch until they ma
ture. No matter what breed of
poultry one has, he cannot expect
eggs until the fowls are mature.

RURAL REST ROOM.

Mr.. Village Merchant, | real

like the mercantile establishments
of the great cities.
But listen: You and all the
other merchants in the town do a
volume of business as great as
some of the institutions mention
ed. Then why not unite and
jointly provide these convenien-
ces for the women of the farms,
the very best customers you
have?
You are not obliged to deliver
goods to your country customers.
If your delivery cost is l per cent
of your gross expense, then cred
it the per cent on country sales
to the Rural Rest Room Fund. "
Let the merchants all agree to
pay a certain sum per month tc
maintain such a rest room. in the
same manner as they support the
band or the ball team.
If your town is incorporated,
let the village council add a small
amount to the expense budget tt
meet the deficiency, or carry the
whole expense. Let's have a ru'
rul rest room in every village. A
large waiting-room, with com

Finding The Weak Spots in Farming

Farm accounting is a score of

the end of the year one has be-

has been weakest. By the score

Bookkeeping removes guess

and to figure the exact effect of
each.

ball of soil should be again brok.

the paper shows a decided pink
color the sample of the soil is
acid. If a deep-rooted crop such
as alfalfa is to be grown it will
be we'll to test samples taken
from the surface soil and the sub
soil.
If the soil is acid, then one is
reasonably sure that legumes the
great soil builders, will not grow
there. That means that lime
must be applied.
1t is we'll and a money making
proposition, to use lime quite

Easy Water For The Farm Home

There are easy ways to get
water into the farm home to
tighten the work of the women.
Many of these ways are mex
pensive. They may take a little
work on the part of the men or
the boys, but only a little. And
as a result of it how much work
is saved for the women,
Not long ago Tennessee's
neighbor, Mississippi, conducted
a campaign Tor farm women and
the thing Mississippi emphasized
most was the value to the farm
woman of running water in the
home.
They said something like this;
Home Water works means:
Lightens work for women.
More efficient home manage
ment.
A more contented family.
A more Cheerful home.
A better. house TO live in.
A smaller doctors bill.
Increased farm values.
The people of Mississippi didn't
miss the fact very far, did they?

SAVE The WOODLAND FROM FIRES.

Whereas, the woodlands of
Tennessee are one of her great
est assets supporting one of her
greatest industries, numbering,
protecting birds, game and
streams, and serving other valu-
able purposes, and
Whereas, forest fires annually
burn over our mountains and
other forested lands thereby de-
stroying vast quantities of tim
ber, injuring and killing innum-
erable trees of all sizes. subject
ing the trees to attack from fun
gi and insect, and
Whereas. these fires consume
the leaf litter and other accumu-
lated vegetable matter thereby
causing a rapid run-off during
rains which results first in floods
and then in drouth, because of
the impaired ability of the forest
soils to collect the water, a con-
dition which reduces the normal
continuity of stream flow, thus
depicting the water power for
hydro-electric purposes and the
fish producing capacity of
streams, and
Whereas, forest fires drive out
and destroy birds and game by
burning through eheir haunts
and breeding places, and
Whereas, the State, through
these fires suffers an annual loss
of many thousand dollars and is
bequeathing to coming genera
tions forests that are ruthlessly
impaired, and other depleted re-
sources,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, by
the Senate, the House concur
ing: that we the members of the
69th General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee, recogeizing
these facts. urge the citizens of
the State to refrain from setting
woodlands on fire and to use all
possible means to extinguish fires
that have been started, to be
careful with fire when hunting,
camping, clearing lands or clean
ing farms. and to urge all others
to do the same, to the end that a
strong general sentiment against
destruction by forest fires may be
developed throughout the State.

DYSPEPSIA MANS GREAT.
EST ENEMY SAYS 7.
|. COOPER.
Distressing Malady Has Baf.
led the Medical Pro-
fession for Many
Years.

Explaining the record breaking
demand for Tanlac, G. F. Willis,
southern representative for T. l..
Cooper, manufacturer of the Gel
ebrated medicine, stated recent
ly in Atlanta, that the thousands
of questions that were being ask
ed all over the South regarding
it makes it imperative that some
explanation be made to satisfy
public interest.
Speaking of Tanlac, he said;
Thousands of the most promi-
nent people, in fact-in the
leading cities of the country,
where this celebrated medicine
has been accomplishing such re.
markable results, are even more
enthusiastic over Tanlac than
Mr.. Cooper himself.
I'm explanation of this, 1t
should be stated that Tanlac is
believed to be the first actually
direct specific for catarrhal in
fiamation of the stomach, or what
is more commonly known as dy-
spepsia, and the complications
which follow it."
At this point Mr.. Willis quoted
from one OF Mr.. Coopers recent
lectures, in which he said: "Of
all the distressing conditions that
afflict humanity, chronic dyspep-
sia is probably the most prevail
ent. This most universal malady
has baffled the medical profess
ion for years, and the most skill
ed specialists have been unable
to cope with it successfully.
Hours might be consumed in
describing the sufferings, mental
and physical, of the sufferers of
chronic dyspepsia, and their fail
ure heretofore to get relief. A
morbid, unreal, whimsical and
melancholy condition of the mind
aside from the nervousness and
physical suffering, is the usual
conditions of the average dyspep-
tic, and life seems scarcely
worth the living. Dyspepsia, OF
indigestion, as the case may be,
is caused by the taking of toe
much food, or unsuitable food,
and the mucous membrane of the
stomach becomes irritated, and
there is set an acute or sub-acute
gastric catarrhal conditions,
which prevents the proper di-
gestion of the food. This food is
apt to ferment and decompose,
and as a result the familiar, dis.
tressing symptoms of dyspepsia
may arise. In mild cases there
is nothing more than an uncom.
Portable feeling in the stomach,
with a certain amount of depres.
sion, headache, loss of appetite,
perhaps belching of gas and oc.
casional vomiting. There may
be also accompanying intestinal
symptoms. such as constipation,
pains in the back. collie. etc,
There may be only the familiar
heartburn due to the inflammation
of the stomach from excessive
gases of fermentation or putre'
/ faction. In thr most severe cas-
es-those that last over a day ol
! two-the symptoms enumerated
may be much more intense. Tn,
distress may be marked, and tn,
general constitutional symptoms
more evident. When this stag,
is reached, the loss of appetite
the mental depression and tn,

general uncomfortable feeling in
the stomach are much more pro-
nounceds This is particularly
true in gastritis.
1T frequently occurs from con-
tinued errors in diet that this
conditions becomes chronic, and
the symptoms persist for an in
definite period: the appetite is
very apt to be varied, although
at times very good. Heartburn
is frequent, if not constant, the
stomach is painful on pressure,
the tongue is coated, there is a
bad taste in the mouth, and
ther are changes in the amount
of the salivary secretion. Con-
stipation is also usually present,
although diarrhoea may alter
nate.
Most cases of dyspepsia can
be cured, if the diet is properly
looked after, and with the pro-
per treatment. Proper eating
and the proper amount of food are
the most important features in
the treatment. Most people eat
too fast and eat too much.
"One of the most pernicious of
all practices in the treatment of
dyspepsia is the promiscuous TAX
ing of so many of the so-called
propritary medicines which are
so blantly advertised in the daily
press, many of them being, no.
thing more than alcoholic bever-
ages, and their use is not unat-
tended with a great deal of dan
ger The treatment of constipa-
ton that is so frequently an ac-
compartment of dyspepsia by
means of patent pills, calomel,
powders and purgatives, is posi-
lively harmful.
II am convinced" continued
Mr.. Cooper, that the stomach re-
gulates the condition of the
blood, and is the fountain head
of health or disease, as the case
may be. My medicine is intend
ed primarily for the regulation of
the stomach and the correction
of catarrhal inflammation, but it is
no uncommon thing for persons
who have used it to come to me
and explain that it has relieved
them of rheumatism and many
=, &;
ailments not generally recogniz-
ed as having their origin in stom-.
ach trouble. F"

Marion county, T. w. Kittrell of
Putnam county, and o. B, De-
Preist of Perry county, spent TO-
day investigating the Tennessee
Polytechnic institute of this city.
The committee arrived here
Friday from Johnson City,
where they investigated the East
Tennessee normal.
The citizens of this city made
the occasion of the visit of the
legislative educational investigat-
ing committee to Cookeville a
red letter" educational rally in
behalf of the Tennessee Polytech
mic institute. At the college au-
ditor u m bout on e
hundred professional and bust
ness men of this city were in at
tendance when the uisiting leg
islators addressed the four hun
dred students of the institution.
DR.. T. A. Early, president of the
institution presided and intro
duced each member of the COM
mittee, beginning with Senator
C. w. Rocks of Gibson county,
the chairman of the committee.
Each of the five members Of the
committee made an unusually
happy and effective address.
After the close of the public
meeting in the auditorium the
committee visited all the build
ings and carefully investigated
everything connected with the
institution, including the execu-
tive and administration Offices.
At the conclusion of their inves-
legations the committee attended
a public meeting of the citizens
of Cookeville and heard several
talks on the aims and needs of
the institution. Those who made
talks were President T. A. Early
Prof. A. N. Kirkman. Mayor 0.
X. Holiday, Col. Jere Whitson,
E. H. Boyd, Thomas Finley, ].
N. Cox and Prof. j. M. Hatfield.
Each speaker emphasized the
fact that this institution filled a
distinct sphere in the education
al system of the state, and that
it did not conflict with any other
state institution.
The committee found more
than four hundred students in
attendance, and thirty-eighi
counties in Tennessee represent
ed in the enrolment.
Contrary to reports which
have been circulated in some Sec
tions or the state, the committee
learned that more than eighty
per cent of the pupils are non
residents of Putnam county
scarcely twenty per cent of the
students being residents of this
county.
