Drive the Liquor Habit
From Your Home
Can Be Done Secretly.

NEW YORK.-Physicians and drug
gists unhesitatingly recommend Tes-
cum powders for the liquor habit in
any form. They quickly destroy the
alcoholic beverages repugnant. Drug
gists will tell you Tescum is selling
better than any other remedy for the
liquor habit. There is reason for
this. 1t is because it gives better
satisfaction. One physician says: Il
can stand in the door of my home and
throw stone into ne'ghbors yard
to whom | gave Tescum powders for
cured. Have also cured large num-
Der of other patients" a druggist
reports: G'Tescum is having an
enormous sale. 1t gives excellent sat
have used Tescum on my husband
secretly and he has not taken drink
in three months" Another lady says:
Il only wish 1 had known of Tescum
before" Here is another who has
tried it: After taking two boxes of
Tescqm ala not dag,y GTaYe Liquor;
expensive at all. Just think of the
thousands of dollars he has spent for
whisky. The few dollars I spent for
Tescum has been worth thousands"
Here is an extract from another let
ter: Il sent a box of Tescum to my
fI&end, Mrs. C. NJ. for her to try on
hT husband. Hope she will be as
successful as l have been. as it is
band what cured him. And so on it
goes, one enthusiastic report after
another. If you have relative or
friend who drinks, just try it for a
few weeks and note the marvellous
change. They will soon complain
that drink does not taste the same,
and in a short time they will stop
altogether and never know the rea-
son why.
Note - A leading druggist, when
shown the above article, said; Yes.
Tescum is a very remarkable remedy
for the drink habit. 1t is harmless,
wonderfully effective and is having an
enormous sale. l advise everyone who
wishes to destroy the liquor habit to
give it trial" You take no risk
with Tescum, as it is sold in this
city under a steel-bound money re-
fund guarantee by all druggists, in
cluding j. Nelson Clark.

r. $. EMPLOY ENT AGENCY.

A big campaign is being launcn9o
Inv the government in an effort to or
game the labor OF the country in such
a way that when ans manufacturer or
any person wishing to employ laborers
they will be supplied 10y calling on the
United States Employment service OF
the Department of Labor.
This will tend to stabieize the labor
of the country and prevent one concern
from enticing away the LABOR OF an
other and that company to in turn
have it's labor enticed away and on and
on without end and all to the great
detriment of the industries OF the
coutry. All employment agencies have
been asked to retire from the field or
join in assisting the government IN
locating and organizing the labor in
such a way as will make labor most
effective.

THE AUGUST CALL.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
has notified the several states that the
seiectmen for August will be about the
same as that for July. Most of those
in the first class for this county have
been called, which will mean that the
coming month will see many drawn
from other numbers. Marshal Crow
der has directed that re-classification
be carried out rigidly and that more
than so percent of the new registrants
of this year must be placed IN first
class with the view to being rapidly
indicted into service. Re-clasisfication
will no doubt change several more and
thereby greatly reduce the number
in other classifications.

SAYS BERLIN IS Fortified
Vast Defense Work Has Been Built,
According to statement Made
by Swede.

Monster guns, hidden In pits 40 and
80 feet deep, and 125 to $50 feet apart,
form a labyrinth Of defenses around
Berlin, according to John Erickson, a
native of Sweden. For five years, be-
ginning with 1907, Erickson says he
worked on the outer defenses Of Ber-
lin, and prior to that time worked for
the Motla gun works Of Sweden, turn
ing out heavy ordnance for Germany.
Guns surrounding Berlin, according
to Erickson, range from % to AZ
inches in diameter. Many are Of the
larger type. Some are over 200 feet
long. Their foundation is set in seven
feet Of solid granite. sunk in the bot
tom of the pits in which the guns are
hidden, surrounding the city. Two
circles of these guns surround Ber-
lin. One Is seven miles from the city's
outskirts--the other is II. A screen
roof is now laid over these guns. A
layer Of two feet of dirt covers the
top. Grass, trees and even the sea-
sons crops are planted over them.
Electricity controls the huge guns,
Ericsson says. When the guns are
needed the roof may easily be thrown
off and the guns hoisted to position.

CARE FOR SOLDIERS FEET
Army Authorities Particular That
There Shall Be Little Troub!s
In That Respect.

"How is Uncle Sam able to raise suf-
Acfent funds to shoe his children" 2"
we might ask just now, when the
! prices Of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was, however, an
swered at q recent meeting In Allan
tic City Of the American Leather Chem
lists association, which was also at
tended by several members Of the
American Chemical society. Their dis
cussion on this subject proved most
conclusively that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail
ity leather In their army shoes and
that it Is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
In their discussion--that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side Of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leath-
er from time to time in order to keep
1t waterproof.
1t was most gratifying to learn that
In every first-aid kit the soldier carries
a tube Of paste to apply to the feet In
order to prevent trench sores, which
were so common in the early days of
the war; These sores are caused by
the alkaline water in the trenches, but
if the feet are promptly protected by
an inert grease no such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam Is deal
Ing with the question of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint Of COM
fort and protection, as well as from his
own standpoint Of the wearing quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
and 1t is doing everything to help to
keep them so.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

70 successfully finance the war 1t Is
necessary that owners of Liberty Bonds
hold their bonds If possible. Where
for any good reason it is necessary for
them to turn their bonds into cash they
should seek the advice of their banker.
Liberty Loan bonds are very desir-
able Investments. and crafty individ-
uals are using every means to secure
them from owners not familiar with
stock values and like matter. One
method is to offer to excha' ge for
Liberty bonds stocks or bonds of doubt
full organizations represented as re-
turning a much higher income than the
bonds.
There are various other methods used
and likely to be used, some of the gold
brick variety and others less crude and
probably within the limits of the law.
All offers for Liberty bonds except for
money and at market value should be
scrutinized carefully. The bonds are
the safest investments and have non
taxable and other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty Loan bonds, if
possible. Is patriotic. To consult ysur
bankers before selling them is wise.

IS OPPOSED TO TOBACCO.
Gives Some Sensible and Logical Rea-
sons for His Dislike.

Editor Chronicle We were much in
terested and pleased with your article
last week on tobacco. We can not see
why it Is used 80 extensively.
At the San Francisco Exposition the
United States Government had re-
port on tobacco, showing that people
spent about ten times as much for
tobacco as they do tor education. this
is a sad comparison and is all the more
unfortunate since SO many people OF
intelligence have INDUCED IN the evil
habit of the Indians. This habit does
not make Us clsasn, but filthy. 1t does
not put money in our pockets but
makes US poorer instead. 1t does not
make people look better, but worse
it does not add to our health but gen.
orally Injuries it and actually Kills
thousands annually.
The doctors said that this evil killed
President Grant. 1t has been proven
nv scientific research that more than
nine-tenths of those who smoke cigar
cites have their lungs SO badly injured
bv this poison that in actual test they
cannot stand so much hard labor ss
those who do not smoke. This is one
reason why some states in the union
have passed laws against selling or
Giving tobacco to those under q years
of age.
The Bible teaches Sus that all evil is
If the devil. Is not tobacco an evil
that .jpiures and enslaves its victims!
Some good men tell US that the taste
,s very good after they use 1t "h''e
and that they are free men ana not
slaves and can quit at any time.
We reply that if they will quit IL
two or three days then they Will hno
ont the actual facts as to now Tree
thew are and they can then see now
t,obt Satan has his chains around them.
Another reason why we should not
nae tobacco is because 1T is wrong anu
and the word of the Lord is strictiy
.oinst it. "Let your light SO shins
nefore men that they will see your
good works" Mat. Sis. The use OF
this is SO very offensive that 1t IS t"f-
hidden OF passenger coaches IN
churches and public buildings with
penalties attached. Wherefore DO ye
spend rnoney tor that which IS not
bread and labor for that which satis-
fieth not. - lisa. 55:2.

STUDENT NURSES WANTED
Uncle Sam Is Asking for 500 volun-
tsers from This State.

The drive for the enrolment for
the United States Student Nurses
Reserve began throughout the country
Monday, July, 90, and will continue
until August 11th.
The Governm ent is calling for 500
young women between the ages OF l9
and 35 from Tennessee to join the
United States Student Nurse Reserve
and hold themselves in readiness to
train for service as nurses. lntelli-
gent, responsible women of good ed
ucation and sound health are wanted.
A College education Is valuable
asset and many hospitals will give
credit for it, On the other hand some
schools do not require a full high
school education.
The enrolment card will indicate
two classes of reglstrants, preferred
and deferred. The preferred class will
be those who are ready to accept as.
signments to whatever hospital the
government directs them, although
they may state to what training school
they prefer 20 be sent.
Those who register in the preferred
class will be assigned first and all
possible consideration given to their
preference as stated.
The deferred class is composed OF
those who limit their pledges for SER
vice, that is, who Will not engage to-
GU except to certain hospitals.
The Government relies on the patrio-
tism of those who enroll to fill out the
"preferred" cards if they possibly
can, thus volunteering to go where
they are most needed.
The nursing profession is an honor
able one. The army needs every nurse
it can get to keep up with the draft.
The United States Student Nurse Re-
serve is the equivalent for women to
the great national army training camps
for soldiers. The Government will
rely upon the student nurses to fight
disease at home, care for those injured
ana olsaDled IN our war industries and
to make themselves ready when the
time comes as fully trained nurses at
home or abroad.
Mrs. F. J. Upham, County Chair
man, Will open a recruiting office in
the office of DR.. +. j. Upham, in
Crossville which will be open from
10 to o'clock on August 7, 8, 9, 10.
Any one in Cumberland County who
is interested in nursing and who would
like to join the United States Student
Reserve can secure information by
writing to Mrs. Upham or calling at the
recruiting office which will be open
Wednesday August 7, including Satur-
day August 10 from 10 to 4 o'clock.
