Il suffered particularly from nerv-

badly run down. | had worried my
self almost to death over my trou-
bles, and that made my condition
all the worse. l suffered a lot with
headaches and l could not eat any
thing. l suffered so much with my
head that I was almost crazy at times
with the pain. My nerves were in
such bad shape that if anyone knock

" hen the war began there was no
railroad connecting the Richmond and
Danville with the North Carolina sys-
tenn Of railroads. The Confederate
authorities saw tts stragetic value
of such line and were able to bring
to bear sufficient pressure to over
come the obstacles which had previ-
ously stood in the way of its con-
struction owing to the rivalry OF
North Carolina and Virginia, each
State seeking to protect its own rail-
way interests The necessary rail
vas procured by tearing up other
roads and when at the close Of the
war the line was confiscated by the
United States as one Of the assets Of
the Confederacy. there was prolonged
litigation before the Richmond and
Danville secured undisputed title
The origin of this line is remember
ed in many local traditions and names
among them Tennessee Curve said
to have been so called because the
grading at this point was done by
men Of Tennessee regiment.
Since the Southern Railway under
took its extensive Improvement pro-
gram, this entire line has been dou-
bic tracked, but very few charges
were found necessary in the location
as determined by the wartime engi-
neerS.

AND MID.WINTER EXPOSITION

The Southeastern land show and
midwinter exposition to be held in At

assumed proportions vastly beyond
the expectations Of those in charge
OF same, and with the United States
government making an exhibit at
the show. the State of Georgia having
an exhibit and eighty-flve other spec
ial exhibits of various kinds, the ev-
ent will easily be the south's most
notable mid-winter celebration.
Probably the feature Of the exposl-
tion which will attract most general
attention is the screen contest being
put on by the management Of the ex-
position in an effort to ascertain what
young woman in the southeast win

ner. The second grand prize. a gold
watch and the third grand prize a
diamond ring or silver service, at
the option of the winner The four
State prizes will be loving cup Or
silver service to each winner.
The contest is the most unique ev-
or conducted in that the candidates
in the contest must be selected by
popularity contests in their local com
munities. The winner in these local
popularity contests must come to At
Ianta on February 5th and have their
photographs made on the stage OF
the exposition auditorium, which will
have been fitted up as modern mo-
ton picture studio.
On Saturday night February 10, d
grand ball will be given in honor Of

Series of Wonderful Exhibits.

The various exhibits at the south
east, m land show and mid winter ex-

unusual Of any exposition held in this
section Of the country, and thousands
of dollars will be spent by eXhibi-
tors in making their EXHIBITS exceed
ingly attractive. At practically every
exhibit souvenirs and literature will
be ready for free distribution-in
fact more free souvenirs and literature
will probably be given visitors to the
southeastern land show and mid
winter exposition than at any event
of this kind ever held in the south.
Among the attractive exhibits will
be one by the federation OF women's
clubs of Georgia, which exhibit will
also be headquarters for the woman's

films Of an amusement character, will

WATCH GARBAGE!
WARNS HOOVER

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3.-Feeding
the wastes from the table to chickens
and pigs is not always economy, ac-
cording to DR.. H. e. Barnard, repre-
sentative of Herbert c. Hoover, ma
tional food administrator. He says:
Many a housewife thinks she is
practicing real economy when the
wastes from the table are used to feed
a pen of chickens in the backyard. She
reasons, all the food l feed my chick
ems comes back to me in the form of
delicious eggs or fried chicken, and
the better l feed them the better /
will be paid. Now, as a matter of fact,
this practice may not be an economy
at all. There are some wastes in the
kitchen which can be turned into ppry
or eggs profitably. but any scraps of
food which can be used in the house
have no place in the pig trough or
chicken pen. Under the best condi-
tons a hog returns only one-third of
the food he eats, as human food, and
when bread is fed to chickens nine
tenths of the food is lost completely
to the table.
Tn feeding animals the thrifty
housewife will not let anything useful
for feeding human beings get into the
garbage pail but she will see to it
that all vegetable panngs, 1hedible
meat trimmings. the waste Of the pre-.
serving kettle and similar material is
turned into pork or poultry products.

JOHNSON OBJECTS
TO TEACHING OF
FOES LANGUAGE
German Should Not Be
Part of Public School Cur
ricula, He Says.

Robert Underwood Johnson, editor
and writer and a brother of Henry U.
Johnson, strongly protests against the
teaching of the German language in
letter to an Indianapolis newspaper.
mo other living language besides
English should be taught in the pub
lie schools" he says. Johnson attend
ed Earlham college.
Misrepresentation is the first law of
nations and we must weed out Of our
public school teaching all exotic
growths, whether German, Scandinav-
ian, Slav, French or Italian If we are
to have the unity of thought and pur-
pose that makes a nation great and
safe,'' he says.
His letter follows:
AS former resident Of Indiana may
I make brief comment on the undue
prominence that seems to be given In
the Indianapolis public schools to the
study of German.
Treasures Are Priced.
Nobody prizes more than the treas
ures of literature of that language
the works of Goethe, Schiller, Leasing,
Heine and others; but feel that it is
one thing to study these as I did at
Earlham College as literature-as one
studies Latin-and another to absorb
at an early age through the German
language the ideas and philosophy Of

the modern ruling class of Germany.
Those ideas and that philosophy of the
modern ruling class of Germany.
Those ideas and that philosophy we
are now engaged in fighting to a finish
to determine whether government OF
the people by the people and for the
people is to prevail over the theory
that the people drived their rights
from divinely appointed rulers. It is
therefore most important that we
should rid ourselves OF the vehicle OF
false notions. If our German-Ameri.
can fellow citizens desire to have their
chudren taught their mother tongue let
them be taught at home No other
living language besides English should
be taught in the public schools.
Our loyal German-Americans well
know how the schools can be used
nay, are being used-to substitute for
elgn ideas for those which are ours.
both by tradition and reason. Self.
preservation Is the first law OF nations
and we must weed out Of our public
school teaching all exotic growths,
whether German. Scandinavian, Slav,
french or Italian If we are to have the
unity OF thought and purpose that
makes nation great and safe.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON.
