DON'T SUFFER
With HEADACHES

That dull. humping or split
ting headache which troubles
you so, is most likely due to some
trouble in your stomach, liver.
kidneys or bowels. 1t is just
natures signal that something
is radically wrong inside. and
the first thing for you to do. and
do at once-is to get you a bottle
of Vim Hepatica for cleaning out
your liver. kidneys. stomach .and
bowels. and you will soon be rid
of that headache.
Vim Hepatica is known as the
universal system purifier and
tonic. 1t thoroughly purifes and
tones up these organs and makes
you feel like an entirely new per-
son. We recommend it.

Mr.. Bailey returned home in
the later part of May, 1865. and
on the 7th day of January was
married to Miss Minerva Parrish.
After he married he went to his
fathers home and lived on his

that he built his own houses just
above his fathers, on Webster
Creek in Big Bottom. He NOV

and died at this place. He lived
in this house 46 years and his

institutions be crippled and our
homes scared with sorrow.
The released German armies
from the Russian front are trav-
cling by tie hundreds of thous-
ands towards our men on the
west, and the greatest stream of
all is gathering. The time for
idle and seditious talk has passed.
The time for action is at hand, so
now as President Wilson says:
We are fighting as truly for the
liberty and self-government of
the United States as if the war
of our own Revolution had to be
fought over again, and every
man in every business in the
United States must know by this
time that his whole future lies in
the balance. J." 1t is our lives,
liberty. property and happiness
that are at stake, If any man
has an idea that we are fighting
Others battles, not our own, the
sooner he gets away from that
idea the better it will be for him
and the better it will be for all
of us.
The immediate duty Of the
United States is to send men and
resources to the battleields Of
Europe to help France and Great
Britain win the war before their
strength is exhausted and the
war brought to America. 1t is
our plain duty to fight in self-de-
fense. and for and with our
friends while we have them, and
to the end that there may be an
end to all war forever.
We must get it out of our
heads that the only way in which
we can show our patriotism, that
the only way in which we can
save ourselves is to serve as SOL
diers, for to save the soldiers all
who are left must serve at home.
This will be a long war, and a.
gainst the millions of men that
Germany is now massing on the
western front, our millions Of
men must be opposed. We must
prepare for days, weeks, months
and years of struggle, of suffer-
ing and of sacrifice, the like of
which the world has never seen.
This is a life and death struggle
which we have entered, deter
mined to establish once for all
that a government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the peo-
pie shall not perish from the
earth. E" We have not as yet full
ly camprehended the magnitude
of the conflict in which we are
engaged nor realized that our
own private. personal liberty is
involved in the issue. We must

occasion of adding to ones pos.
sessions.
Our war activities and agen.
cies must not overlook the neces-
sity for proper conservation OF
the soils of our state as a war
necessity. From the fields and
flocks and herds Of America must
the depleted food stocks of the
world be largely replenished.
This duty the farmers of the ma
ton cannot perform if soil con-
servation and improvement are
neglected. The planting of le-
gumes, proper rotations of crops,
and the other recognized agen-
cies for soil conservation must
not be neglected without invit-
ing the most dire consequence to
the nation.
In every possible way we must
save coal for fighting this war.
More coal than ever before is
required for France and Italy,
and still larger quantities must
be had for running our railroads
to fullest capacity and for speed
ing up the great munition plants
of this country, and for keeping
all our necessary industries run
ming, so that our people may not
suffer from being thrown out of
employment in this time of war.
1t is the opinion of our best
posted coal men that there will
not be enough coal produced dur
ing 1918 to fight the war and to
keep all our necessary industries
running and have enough left to
keep all our homes warm next
winter.
NOW WE ARE GOING TO
FIGHT!
We are red -blooded Tennes-
scans, and we are going to fight
right. We must show to the
world we are REAL MEN, not
WEAKLINGS.
If it comes to the point that
either our allies and our boys in
France must go cold, or we in
Tennessee go cold, then we in
Tennessee are going cold.
The United States Fuel Ad-
ministrator for Tennessee urges
you to lay in your entire years
supply of coal during April and
May. He will allow this done.
not because he thinks there viii
be enough coal to supply all oui
needs but because the demand
for coal is slack in those months.
This is done to keep the mines
tunning full capacity at the time
when they usually slow dowu.
This will tape the edge off the
keen demand for winter and will
take part of the winter burden

every agency at our command
should the necessity for addition
al production be brought to the
attention of the people, The
county agents, men and women
afford a splendid medium through
which the gospel of increased
production can be brought direct
ly to all of the people of the
county.
Of no less Importance to in
creased production is the neces-
sity for conservation, Particu-
larly is this true of the four
great essentials for the conduct
of this war; wheat flour, sugar,
fats and meats. There is today
available for home consumption
less than half of the normal re-
quirements of wheat flour if this
nation is to discharge its obliga-
ton to its heroic allies in this
conflict. This deficit can lie met
only through the sacrifice and
devotion of the people of the
nation. There is an abundance
of flour substitutes available for
our people, Their uses must be
encouraged in every way posi-
BILE.
Sugar, the great energizing
force necessary for our gallant
fighters. can be secured in abun-
dance only through the voluntary
savings of all the people of the
country. Temporarily the ban
on meats has been removed.
This has been done largely to en-
courage further conservation of
wheat flour and because of the
lack of adequate shipping to
transport it to our allies in the
quantities which they would like
to have. However, as the ship
ping situation improves it will
be necessary again to institute
further meat conservation meas
ures. The situation is the same
with respect to fats.
Rules and regulations issued
by our government for the con.
troll of foodstuffs are founded up
on grim necessity and should be
as Loyalty observed as are any
other laws of the nation. No
general attempt has been or will
be made to fix prices to be paid
the producers, but no considera-
ton can be shown the profiteer
who would take advantage of
these unhappy days to add fur
ther to the burdens of the con-
sumer without in any way con-
tributing to the income of the
great producing masses. There
is no more deplorable form of
disloyalty to the nation than
that which finds its expression
in an effort to make the war the

The United States is now in
volved in the gravest crisis of its
history. The time has come for
the people to Know the facts.
The situation must be stated in
the plain, naked truth. There
are millions of easy-going, COM
placent Americans, to whom the

ing, who have not realized what
this war means. These must be
reused. They must be made to
realize that their lives, their lib
erty and happiness are at stake.
They must be given to UNDER
stand that whether this war is
won or lost, depends upon their
realization of their personal re-
sponsibility and whether they
are willing or not to make the
necessary sacrifice to save them
selves. This war is q life and
death struggle for the safety and
existence of ourselves and for
the benefit of free people every
where. The situation is critical
in the extreme, and we should
know it. 1t is time for facts in
stead of fighting on illusions. Il
Forced into war by Germany,
who violated our rights as ruth
lessly as she did those of Regium
we are fighting a war of self
defense. We are to day in peril.
We are fighting to defend our.
wives and children from the de-
filed hand of the German. We
are fighting to protect our homes
from the beast who knows no
mercy. We are fighting to pre-
serve the institutions we love,
the liberty we cherish, the free
dom so dear to us.
We are fighting in France, be-
cause it is there we can strike
the enemy, but if we are defeat
ed in France, we shall be smit-
ten in America, and if unsuccess-
ful in this struggle, we shall no
longer be free men, but the slav-
es of the most merciless and bru-
tai taskmaster the world has ever
known. Our peril is great and
only our courage and determine
ton can avert it. 1t is not from
glory, honor or rights that we
fight, but for liberty, which no
good man loses, but with his
life."
The magnitude of the task we
nave undertaken is appalling.
Never in history have nations
undertaken so great a task. AL
lied nations are maintaining mil
lions of soldiers in the field, and
must raise many millions more.

out; our industries, finances and

STATE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE ISSUES STATEMENT
Showsthe Gravity Of War Situation and What Must b

off the already overcrowded rail-
roads.
If you fail to lay in your coal
in April and May. you may be
able to get it later, when the
great Government plants at
Nashville and Sheffield open in
August. These plants will re-
quire one-eighth as much coal as
is now burned in the entire State
of Tennessee.
Their coal must be provided
whether our homes are heated or
not, because they make war
munitions.
We must save coal in every
possible way.
Heat fewer rooms.
Do not keep the rooms quite
so warm.
Be real men and burn wood
and help your country fight.
Labor is the supreme necessity
of all activities, all success alike
in war and peace. Every effort
is being made by the United
States Employment Service to
supply not merely the great war
industries in the state with labor,
but to supply farmers and all in
dustries whose success will con-
tribute to the success of our
arms.
1t is earnestly requested. there
fore. that farmers desiring labor
will let their needs be known to
their postmaster, and all those
who desire employment are also
requested to file their applications
for employment with their post
master, and these applications
will be handled to the best inter-
est of all concerned, without any
charge whatever.
The measure of your duty to
your republic is the full measure
of you'll ability in that field in
which you can rende: the most
efficient service There is plenty
of work to be done. and if a
man remains idle, it is because
he wants to be idle.
With this breif statement of
the situation in our beloved ma
ton, we appeal with confidence
to the patriotic sons and daugh-
ters of the old Volunteer State
to dedicate themselves to the su-
preme task of winning the war.

will be too late.
THE war can be won only by
self-forgetting devotion of the
leaders and the people, by put
ting every particle of strength
and power and purpose and will
back of the Government, by do
ing whatever is helpful and abb
staining from whatever is hurt
full, by holding up the hands of
constituted authority, and infus-
ing it with the spirit and deter
mination OF uncompromising vic
tory" There is no escape; the
war is upon us, and no matter
how great may be the cost in
treasure and in lives, we must
fight it through to a triumphant
finish. Our liberty is stake.
Therefore, we have called this
meeting of patriotic citizens in
Tennessee to discuss the best
methods for winning the war
and organizing for that purpose.
Every activity and agency en-
gagged in the prosecution of the
war is entitled to the most loyal
and generous support Of every
person in the State. War Saving
Stamps and Liberty Loans are
not only necessary TO the success
full prosecution of the war, but
they are the best and safest
investment in the world. The
Red Cross and the Army and
Navy Y M. G.. A. do a service
that is invaluable to the welfare
comfort and morals of our fight
forces. They are supported a.
lone by the voluntary contribu-
tions of patriotic people. They
deserve your liberal cooperation.
Food is vital to the winning of
the war. The war in this coun-
try and among the nations as
sociated with us has withdrawn
from the ordinary fields of pro-
duction millions of the best work
men. There will be, as the war
progresses and our armed forces
are increased, an added burden
placed upon the producers of this
nation. Therefore, not only is it
necessary to stimulate, through
every implement available, in
creased production of essential
foodstuifs, but it is equally vital
to the success of our cause that
there should be a complete elm
ination of waste and a conserva-
tion of food commodities never
before known in the history of
our people.
The producers of the nation
can render no more patriotic SER
vice than by an increase in the
production of food crops. Through
