of love: We saught in prayerful
words, Dear Captain, our hearts true

know that far or near our loving

find truer word in song or poem, we
had heard that would be sweeter than
GodB less You. So in presenting

ed by Mrs. Tarvin and very much
enjoyed by all present.

How to Avoid
The Influenza
WEATHER FAVORABLE TO ITS
SPREAD; DOCTOR TELLS HOW
TO KEEP FREE FROM ILLNESS

This section of the country is just
,ow passing through a period of
weather. which is most favorable for
he spread of influenza. In view OF
his fact the state board of health
n order to avoid any possible recur-
ance of the situation which was felt
asst year has issued a series of sug-
;estions which will prove valuable
or individual protection. These sug-
gestions follow:
First-Avoid those who are cough
ng or sneezing, and cover your own
,ough or sneeze.
Second-Avoid the common drink
ing cup.
Third-Keep fingers, pencils, and
other things that don't belong there
put of your mouth.
Fourth-Wash your hands before
eating.
Fifth-Eat plenty, but not too
much, nourlShlng 1000.
Sixth-Sleep and work in well
'entilated rooms.
Seventh-Keep warm.
Eighth-Stay away from sick folks,
Nineth-Don't neglect a cold.
Tenth-Keep the liver in good
always remembering that
the Liver is the chief source of elm
mating poison from the body.
Just take one Rex Relief tablet
twice a week at bed time, this will
break up a cold if you have one and
will keep the Liver in first class con-
1ition. Get them at drug stores to-
lay and keep them handy. Advt.

Over in China your physician is paid
by the year to keep the family we'll
He is fireside friend and his life is
one long session of social calls on his

he is the first person to know it. His

tered without delay, and if the person
dies or becomes seriously sick, you
ask-well, then you discharge your
physician and call in another.
All this seems curious to the Occi
dental mind, yet think how much dis
ease and suffering would be eliminated
II we paid our physician by the year
to keep us well. While Chinese medi-
cines more often kill than cure, still
the idea Of always having your doctor
call around and looking after your
folks ever so often is a good one, and
this idea is coming to the front in this
country.
Do you know that when you pur-
chase some of the little penny Ped
Cross Christmas Seals from the Ten
nessee Anti-Tuberculosis Association
you are paying to have one of the best
corps of nurses and health workers in
this country to look after your health
all year around?
The money collected in these annual.
sales of seals has built up staff of
public health workers whose headquar-
tiers are in Nashville. These health |
workers are constantly travelling over
the state seeing that people keep well. |
In reality they are the same as the |
Chinese physicians, only they don't |
feed you powdered rats when you are !
sick. They have accomplished such |
"Hnderful work in building up the |
public vitality that they should be re-
tanned for another year, and to do this !
we must purchase enough seals so that |
every holiday letter and package that |
Is mailed this Christmastide shall have |
one or more of these little messages |
of Health and Hope attached to them.
The United States Government pays |
Admiral Grayson, M. D., by the year
to keep president Wilson well. So,
since the government has adopted this
Chinese idea why should not all Amer
leans adopt it and purchase Red Cross
Christmas Seals, The Tennessee Anti
Association pays its staff
to keep Tennesseans we'll and to cure
those who are sick. They are the
Chinese physicians to Tennessee.

LIVE hydro-electric company like the Central Maine
n Power Company is growing constantly. 1t is
steadily extending its lines to territory not pre-
viously supplied with power. It frequently develop
ing new water power to meet growing power demands
of its old and new customers
To finance this growth preferred stock is issued.
The money subscribed for preferred stock goes into
physical property that will add to the earning power Of
the Companyproperty that should pay all expenses and
earn each year your dividend Of 1-2 per cent net.
So long nearby territory is unsuppled with lights
and power, so long people turn from kerosene to
electric lights, long manufacturers continue to
leave sections where they must coal to generate
power and turn a section where they get unn1-
tied hydroelecrc power at reasonable price, just
long will the Central Maine Power Company continue
stock finance extensions and DEVELOPMENTS.
Undoubtedly issues of preferred stock will fol-
low this which is rapidly being taken up by the
people of Mane--chiefy by customers and employees
of the Company.
So long as the limited remainder of the present
issue is available it will be sold at S1O75O share to

his violin, played like madman.
"This deformed creature had
really the temperament of an artist.
What thrills of grief and anger,
what spasms of revolt he knew how
to introduce into the most common
place waltzes.
"On her side, the dancer seemed
obsessed by the passion of the vio-
llnlst. Intoxicated by that hypnotic
rhythm, she became filled with ex-
altation, leaped and bounded like a
bacchante and seemed enveloped in
a Dionysiac flame.
That evocation of antique
beauty was so little in keeping with
her short skirt and her low cut cor
sage that the same thought came to
all Of U.S."

would not consent. However, in
the end, we made one concession to
this singular sense of modesty. We
brought in screen and opened it

the violinist.
"Then the surgeon general seats
himself at the piano and plays a
muff1ed prelude while the dancer
enters softly, holding to her neck
with her two hands a muslin dress
ing gown. The violin begins, in
minor key, sort of czardas, with
something in it more poignant,
more heart-breaking than usual.

Nevertheless, for long time it
was impossible to get him to plav

surgeon general discovered the wav

which her illness had refined, moved
freely and with suppleness under
the clear light, following the dis

arms, impeccable in their lines, ex-
