1t is your business-it is the
business of the entire public
that there should be dispensary
and clinic care for every man,

who has tuberculosis, or thinks
he has it.. Travelling clinics
should reach all communities not
otherwise provided for. Hospital
and sanitorium facilities adequate
for the needs of the communities
should be established at once
without such aids in fighting t'-
berculosis. little can be done. The
work of hospitals and sanitoria
for tuberculosis means not on'v
protection to the well but the
reclamation of victims. Tuberc,'-
losis can be cured if discovered in
time.
It is your business that this
community should provide for
visitation, instruc ton and care
of eases that must have home
treatment. This should include
precautionary care of children
and other members of the pa
tents family.
In this community work, which
is the Home Towns s chance anc

the Navy now has the privilege
of choosing any trade which he
may be fit for, and besides an APP
plicant may be sent to any of the
trade schools located at San
Francisco, Cal, Great Lakes, ILL.,,
Pensacola, Fla, Newport, X. l.,
Hampton Roads. Va, and many
other places.
The Navy pay ranges from
$32.G per month up to Sllooo
for Chief Petty Officer, and any
young man who is ambitious can
acquire the same. Another great
feature the Navy offers is $4,000
worth of clothing upon enlisting
which with good care should last
a man his whole cruise. Take
this into consideration that while
you are learning a trade and
travelling to foreign countries,
you are getting paid for it, AMI
it's all clear each and every month
as a man in the Navy don't have
no doctor bills to pay, he gets free
medical attendance and if he gets
sick his pay goes on just the
same. How many Of you young
men have from $3.50 to $4,000
a month for spending money after
you paw your board and lodging
The lowest paid man in the Navy
has that each and every month.
The Navy pay compares well up
to $4,000 to $4,000 per month
with anv outside position. Any
man 1S years of age has the priv
ilege of enlistin0 as Apprentice
Seamen, for machinist mate, for
aviation where he is sent to a me-
chanical school for one years IN
struction, with a chance to be-
come an aviator. although a man
does not have to fly unless he
wants to, and if he does fly ne
gets an increase of fifty per cent
of lis wages. So think it over
young men and come and see Mr..
Mcdonald in the Post Office build
ing any day between the hours Of
8 A. M. and 5 p. M. and he will
be glad to give you full informa-
ton pertaining to Navy life, as Mr..
Mcdonald is an old timer in the
Navy, having served twelve years
at sea with Uncle Sam. He can
give you a good interesting story
about the Navy and his own expef-
ience. i wish to announce to
you, not to miss this opportunity
as our time is limited to few days
in this City, so do not hesitate but
come over and see me and have a
talk with me, it won't cost you
nothing, and if you make up your
mind that you want to enlist. we
will give you transportation to
New Orleans and if you fail, 20

WEATHER AFFECTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE
Manager Says No Effort Is
Being Spared for the
Highest Efficiency.

The opinion held by some subscribers
of the local Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph company for the past few
weeks that there has been q breakdown
in the service Of the company, is due,
in the belief Of Frank F1ournoy, man
ager, to occasional descriptions Of the
service by adverse weather conditions.
The management is sparing no effort
to make the human element in the SER
vice efficient, but has been unable to
guard against interference Of rains n
windstorms.
of course, there will always he COM
plants" Mr.. Flournoy stated Tuesday
morning, lin a system which is sub-
teCt TO variations OF weather and hui
nan nature Rut we are sparlng no
pains to make our service right, We
make every provision to guard against
accidents and we train our operators
carefully and they strive for efficiency
We are satisfied with their work, Tor
we know that they are doing all that
II is humanity possible to do to give
our subscribers perfect service
Shortage OF female labor has been
another source Of sporadic trouble. Mr..
Flournov said. Because of this short
age IL is hard to keep the trained force
up to its capacity. 1t requires several
hundred young women to operate the
four exchanges in Memphis-Mai
Hemlock, Walnut and Juniper.
Mr.. Flournoy said when asked what
was the matter with the service? that
he would not like to be put In the attl-
tude Of making excuses to the public.
He said that the public always sneered
at excuses and that he did not feel
that 1t was necessary to make them
as long as they were spariug no effort
nor thought toward making the service
efficient.
In the meanwhile the public is hop
ing against hope for relief from the
| state Of service, not to mention the
| increase in rates just as the service
