.nEAR READERS: This is the
- time of the year when If we
make the least claim to being fash
ionable, we are looking forward to
the styles which the coming season
will bring forth. Several buy RS re-
turning from their purchasing trips
this week, had interesting tales to tell
me OF the new things they saw in
the smart shops. the restaurants. the
hotels and theaters of the eastern
cities visited.
"Black satin," remarked one OF
them, "has become a strong fashion
with New York women, but there is
nothing gloomy, or depressing about
the way it is handled, in fact it is en-
livened by brilliant roses, glittering
jet and colored shoes and stockings"
"Women are certainly dressing more
elegantly than ever before" she con-
tinued," and a general feeling of vic
tory seems to be in the air"
I read the other day that General
Foch of the allied armies, believes
that depression in any form of life
loses more battles than any other
cause; that to be gloomy is to admit
that matter has conquered spirit. 1t
therefore behooves us dear women to
look our best these war times, for
the wearing Of fresh, smart, clothes
surely does help to keep up the tone
of the world.

GERMAN PAPER TELLS OF
HARDSHIPS OF SOLDIERS.
FAMILY.

The committee on public informa-
ton has made the following transla-
ton of story appearing in the Octo-
Der, 1917, issue of the Leipzig Volks-
zeitung:
"A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought to
our attention from Upper Langenau
in Silesia. One of the hired men OF
DIR. MtAller's agricultural estate has
been for long time at the front. His
wife, who had worked alongside her
husband before the war after the US
ual custom, remained in the ranks OF
the field hands and accordingly retain
ed her farm cottage. October 1 this
woman got the following letter.
"'The undersigned bailiff of the es-
tate hereby gives you notice as of
this date TO the field service for Janu
airy /, 1918. On that day you are to
give up your house. The work which
you are doing on the farm does not
compensate the farm for the loss
which accrues to it through the con-
tinued support of your family Look
out for yourself away from this farm,
your house is needed for the use of
others
The woman communicated the no
tice to her husband with these words:
I must tell you my distress, soon l
shall not be able to see the paper for
my tears. What shall / do? Winter
is at the door and the cottage is full
of little children
"Thus the bailiff of the estate of
bloated landlord turns a family with
eight children out of doors in midwin-
ter while the man is at the trent.

TENNESSEE COMMIS-
SION FOR THE BLIND

The Tennessee commission for the
blind, which was created by bill
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature has opened its office with an ex-
ecutive secretary in charge, for the
initial work of registering the blind OF
Tennessee. The commission Is COM
posed Of j. G. Creveling, Jr., of Nash
vile, Milton ]. Anderson of Memphis,
and C. H. Myers Of Chattanooga. The
main purpose of its work is to provide
employment for the blind of the state,
by which they may become sef-sup-
porting members of society. One or
more schools for industrial training
and workshops for the adult blind will
eventually be established, equipped and
maintained.
The immediate work before the COM
mission is the preparation Of regis
try of he blind. describing their con-
dition, cause of blindness, and capac-
lIy LOT euuCdtiOH anu HluuStlioA shoAh
ing. Upon this registry or survey
future work will be based.
Another department that will fol-
low will be a bureau of information
and industrial aid, to help the blind
find employment and develop home in
dustry. 1t will also be the duty Of the
commission to devise means to facil-
itate the circulation of books and to
promote visits among the aged and
helpless blind in their homes.
This is a work that appeals to all
the people, and in which the state
should have the hearty cooperation OF
the citizens and agencies already or
ganized. Many other states already
have such schools in actual operation.
Tennessee, it is hoped, will soon take
her place along with them.
One thing about such work is that
at this time its Importance is empha-
sized by the demands that are fore
seen on account of the war. The
members Of the Tennessee commits
sion are keeping this in mind, and hope
to be ready for whatever demands are
made.

MORE PROFITABLE DEAD

By way of illustrating the real

dor Gerard sometime ago told this sto-
ny. A peddler and his mate were one
day crossing a bridge when a notice
to the effect that anyone who saved a
man from drowning in that township
would be given a reward of S. at
tracted their attention. Though the
stream was deep and swift and he
could not SWIM at all, the mate, with
out moments hesitation, plunged in,
him and they could then divide the
SIS reward.
The man on the bridge hesitated,
Hurry gurgled the struggling fell
low in the water. Hurry, pard, I'm
sinking

been reading the other side Of this
notice. 1t says the reward for a dead
body is $40. Now be reasonable, can't
yu?

TENNESSEE RANKS ELEVENTH
IN COST FOR DRAFT DETAILS

Tennessee ranked eleventh in the
summary Of expenditures by the first
selective draft. 1t spent $142,312.52.
New York with $S03,2S4.29, was first,
and Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, Massachusetts, California, Tex
as, Mississippi and Georgia followed
in the order named. Alaska with only
$500 tailed the list.
Tennessee draft board members re-
ceived salaries totaling. $S4,541.50.
Other employees got S45,6S0.3O. Physi-
ical examinations cost the government
$2,695.5O. Travel rolled up $1,651.86,
Rent was $99S.50. Supplies cost $6,-
744.S6. Miscellaneous expenses were
not listed
The following figures were compiled
by the official bulletin and appear in
the current issue of that publication.
Governors, state, county and city Of
ficials are warmly praised by the bull
letin for their cooperation. The arti-
Gle indicates that the second selective
draft will not incur as great expense
as the first, owing to the organization
and capabilities of handling the situa-
ton provided by the government.

does into ether forms Of livestock rails
ing. with the exception Of poultry rails
ing. Furthermore the hog returns the
amount Of money invested more quick
" than other livestockly than toher
livestock investments. He is also an
animal that multiplies rapidly and for
this reason it doesn't take so long to
make q material increase in meat pro-
ducts.
The hog is an animal that makes
very economical use Of the feed given
HIM. He viii turn into meat feeds
such as kitchen Stops, table wastes,
vegetable wastes, skimmilk, and other
waste products that other kinds Of
livestock viii refuse to eat. He can
and should be raised on cheap pasture
and forage crops, with a little grain
ration, until the last six or eight
weeks Of the feeding period.
Considering the present price of
feeds and the price of live hogs the
farmer is getting more than he ever
got for his trouble. There is no doubt
but what the price for fat hogs will
continue to be high, owing to the "a
ito between the price of corn and the
price of live hogs as established by the
u. S. Government.
In addition to the price of fat hogs,
there never was better prices for pure
bred hogs of all kinds; and there new
er6was such a demand for breeding
hogs. The demand exceeds the supply
by far, and will likly continue to do so.
It's a very good time to get into the
the purebred business, as well as fat
hog production.

HOW TO GET BEST
RESULTS FROM FUEL

Here's how to burn fuel to get the
best results, according to a bulletin
issued by the University of Tonnes
see:
Fuel may be saved by ~ burning
each pound in such manner that a
maximum amount Of heat will be de-
livered to the room; (2) by retaining
the heat delivered to the room for as
long a period as possible, and (3) by
maintaining the rooms at a tempera-
ture sufficient for comfort, and not
overheating.
How to Burn Fuel Efficiently
Three conditions are necessary for
complete combustion, sufficient air,
thorough mixing of air with fuel, and
high temperature.
For burning coal, Is pounds oil
air should be supplied for each pound
of fuel burned. To admit more means
that an unnecessary amount of air
is being heated only to pass up the
chimney with heavy loss; to admit
less results in incomplete combustion.
Not only should just IS pounds of air
be admitted, but it must also be init
mately mixed with the combustible
material. The temperature of the
fire must be high enough so that all
gases will be burned
For burning wood not so much air
is necessary as for coal. Fourteen
pounds should be sufficient, but the
problem of admitting the proper
amount is more difficult with wood,
for no uniform bed is possible as with
coal or coke.
For securing the best results in
combustion, keep the following in
mind:
with coal or coke, keep an even
bed of fuel over the entire CRATE.
Keep the fuel bed free from clink-
ers, but do not disturb the fuel bed
too often by poking.
3-Fire at regular intervals, fire light
ly and frequently and avoid putting on
a thick covering of green fuel.
shake the CRATES only when neces-
sary. Excessive shaking allows toe
much fuel to drop into the ash pit.
5-Keep ash pit clean. A full ash pit
cuts off air supply, impairs COM
bustion and causes overheating
CRATES with warping incident there
to.
all heating surfae IS clean. A
thin coating of SCOT on lie heating
surface means that many more
pounds Of fuelwill be necessary to
get results equal to those of a clean
surface.
IA good supply of fuel should be
kept in the fire pot, but do not fill
too full if the fuel is fine, as it will
shut off the air supply and produce
incomplete combustion.

PORK AND PATRIOTISM

There never was a war half so bloc
dy as this one and if this bloodshed is
to be stopped before it reaches our
own soil the American farmer must
produce more pork. This pork is
needed not only to feed the army, but
it is needed worse to feed the armies
and peoples of our allies. In times of
peace this country produced two-fifths
of all the pork of the world; but now,
owing to the fact that European pork
production is greatly decreased, it falls
to the United States to greatly in
crease her supply. So it's up to you,
Mr.. Farmer, not to do your bit, but
to do your might, by PRODUCING pork
to feed ourselves and our allied neig-
bors in this great world crisis. To do
less would be to help the kaiser. Are
you true red-blooded American?
