The Tennessee nti-Tuberculo-
sis does this with staff of trained
workers who are constantly travel
ing throughout the State and who
are working towards the day that
each community will have a pub
lie health nurse to guard the pub
lie health.
Since it has been proven that
Money can buy everything, in
Guiding health" the association
expects to sell 100000 seals in
Tennessee this Christmastide.
These seals will be placed on sale
in every community SO that every
Christmas package and letter will
carry one of these penny messages
of hope and health.
Take some of your slandered
money and buy some health for
your community.

CAN MONEY
PURCHASE HEALTH =?

"Money can buy everything but
health." This old adage has been
proven untrue by the Tennessee
Anti Tuberculosis Association,
which placed on sale its tenth an
nual edition of Red Gross Christ
mas Seal December l, throughout
this State. These little penny
seals have saved thousands of lives
for the money collected in sales of
the past have bought health for
thousands of men, women and
children in Tennessee.
Next year 4,500 Tennesseeans
are doomed to die of consumption
"a preventable, curable and con-
trollable disease-unless they can
have help.
All that these people need is
medical care and advice, good
food, fresh air and knowledge of
how to take care of themselves
that they may be prevented from
injecting their families and their
friends.

CAPTAIN LEIGH
TO TOUR STATE

Captain r II. Leigh, United
States Navy, who will command
the great snperdreadnaught Ten
nessee, will arrive in Knoxville
next Monday. The captain will
be met by Governor Roberts and
delegation from the commercial
clubs from the principal cities of
tha State. Governor Roberts and
Captain Leigh will speak at Knox
vile on the evening of the 18th,
and at Chattanooga the evening
of the 10Th at Nashvilleon the l7th
aud at Memphis on the evening
of the 18th.
Captain Leigh was born in Mis-
sissippi and appointed to the Ma
val Academy in 1887 Hegraduated
from the Academy in 1891 and his
first sea-going ship was the old
Chicago, at that time flagship of
Rear Admiral Walker, who WAS
commander-in-chief of the White
Squadron.
The captain is one Of the Navy's
most brilliant officers. His serv-
ice to the United Statesis crowded
with deeds of heroism and his SER
vices in the late war is matter of
history. Captain Leigh was dec
Grated by the English Govern
ment with the order of the British
Empire for service in the war zone
during the anti-su bmarine cam
paign. The United States Govern
ment has recently presented him
with the Distinguished Service
Medal.
Captain Leigh served in British,
Italian and French waters during
the war. He was aid to Admiral
Sims who commanded our naval
operations with allied navies, aud
he was later made chief of staff to
the admiral.
If it falls to the-lot of our citi-
zens to have the good fortune to
hear Captain Leigh and Govern
or Roberts speak, they will gaina
knowledge of things naval never
to be forgotten. The paramount
features of the captains tour is
the fact that he has been chosen
by Tennesseans to command their
ship, the greatest and most power
ful fighting machine in the world.

DELAY THAT Is COSTLY.

Leaders of the Republican Con
gress may deny, but they can not
refute the clear evidence of their
utterly futile and resultless career
as the Nations legislators during
the six months OF the present
special session. Save for the pas
sage of appropriation bills-which
went to meet the heavy expense of
this extraordinary session, among
other things-there has been no
Legislation that fulfills their own
promises or that meets the de-
mands of the country. But two
important measures, besides the
fiscal bills, have come before the
Senate in the long period since
last May, and no final action has
been taken with respect to either.
One of these, Of course, is the un-
measurably vital treaty of peace.
The other is the railroad bill.
Failure to ratify the treaty and
to adopt the League of Nations
has not merely delayed peace for
the present and with held guar
antee of it's continuance in the
future, but has actually disturbed
the tranquility of the entire world.
Strikes, riots, sedition and agita-
tion have been fostered by the un-
certainty which the Senate's dal-
lance with the treaty has created.
Want of a definite arrangement
for the operation of the railroads
has contributed to the instability
of business in every quarter of the
country.
Of less import, but of signiff-
cance, is he cost of all this mac
tion and reaction. The expense of
keeping Congress in session for
the last six months is So, 100000.
rhat is not a guess; it is an official
figure. It means that Congress
has spent of the taxpayers money
about $1,500,000 in fighting the
treaty and an equal sum in post
poning satisfactory disposition
of the railroads. All that the spec
ial session has done in an affirma-
tive way could have been accomp-
lished within three weeks if there
had been disposition to support
the President instead of hamper
ing and humiliating him. There
has been instead reckless waste
of time and money and opportun-
ity-with one of the consequences
of il visible in the industrial up
heaval now in progress.-Nashville
