to the library in which they are. An
enthusiastic California Daughter has
made a tentative offer of some fine
books under this idea.
Only five books have actually been
given to this committee during the
Southern Literature, gally two ....
year. These will of course, find their
place in the Confederate Library.
To secure the cooperation of the
Chapters in the other two matters /
addressed IAN Urgent Appeal to

Chapter in the organization. To
these more than two thousand let

One of these replies was from a
school teacher in Cave City, Ken

Davis. She begs our condemnation
of Kinkead's History of Kentucky,
especially that m~aliciously false part
relative to the Ku Klux Khan.
Another is from the Danville, Va,

Particularly unfortunate is it that
just now when our country is SO
pleasantly united in the great strug-

be put upon the South to mar the

as Yankees. The following forceful
entiments are from Miss Bessie Rus
sell Of Natchitoches Louisiana:
"The thought has come to me that
perhaps your committee is the pro-
per n to recommend action on the
growing tendency to call the Ameri-
can soldiers Yankees or 'Yanks.' We
find that this term is finding its
way into the magazines as well as
the daily papers. Are not u
Southern boys fighting as bravely as
any Americans? Have they not sac
rificed as much? Are not III South
ern mothers and fathers suffering
the same agony of uncertainty and
loss that other American parents are
suffering? Are the sacrifices OF the
Southland not made rs cheerfully as
in any other part of u country!
Is it fair that our boys are made
to feel that their Sacrifices are not ap-
preciated? They have spoken
through the press on this subject and
their voices should be needed. They
are not 'Yanks.' We are all human
these boys and these mothers and
fathers should be made to feel that
the page in the paper or magazine
that tells of the glorious victory Of
the Americans is not for their eyes
because the 'Yanks' were the victors?
Their boys were there but their sac-
rifices were not recognized because
teey are not 'Yanks.' We n all
human, these boys and these moth
ers and these fathers will ever be
conscious of a group of distressing
associations connected with the term.
! The heartburn will come, however
say it should not be. 1t is, and it is
not only fair that these mothers and
fathers boys should have unneces-
! sary pangs thrust upon them by
those whose battles they are fight
ing. | have heard many parents
deny most emphatically that their
boys are 'Yanks' and | have noted
the sudden flush that comes with the
denial. The feelings of our parents
and boys should not be sacrificed to
the desire of the press to find a
catchy headline. Many Of the err
rors in our text books have such be-
ginnings."
No condemnation can be too Sc
we're which shows up the ISLANDERS to
be found in Susan B. Anthony's His
tory of Suffrage, in which attacks are
made upon the treatment of Agnes
Lee by her father, General Robert
Lee. Neither foundation nor excuse
for such falsities can be found and
the press has had much to say about
it-but not enough.
In closing this report may we beg
consideration of our recommends
ton as to the active and immediate
use of duplicate books and may we
urge upon every Chapter and indivi-
dual the propriety of helping to
make of our Confederate Library,
with its Annex las we might consid-
er IT'D a thing Of magnitude and SPLEEN

In the course of the proceedings
OF the twenty-fifth annual convention
Of The United Daughters of the Con-
federacy held in Louisville, KY,
April Is, 1919, the committee on
Southern literature made the follow
ing report:
Seven Mile Ford, Virginia.
Ladies:
Upon preparing to take up the
work of this committee just after u
appointment, we were confronted by
the lack of information as 70 the
privileges and duties Of this COM
mittee and those Of the committee
on Southern Literature. NO light on
the matter could be gained from the
minutes, so after considerable cor
respondence, the Committee on
Southern Literature asked Us TO
take charge of the entire work that
seemed to lie before both bodies.
This work we divied as follows:
/. To secure a permanent home
for the Confederate Library.
Q. To secure active chapter CO.
operation in endorsing and condemn
ing books.
8. To solicit gifts for the Confed-
crate Library.
In pursuing the first object we
wrote to the Confederate Museum
the Library of Congress and some
State Libraries. Established libra
ries decline to accept the books if
they must be kept as a whole--the
reason Of this can be easily cen
There was at that time no o in
the Confederate Museum.
The Boston Chapter made a most
gratifying request for the collection
to be given them for the Boston Lib
rary. But we could feel no other
way than that somewhere in the
South Is the proper place-Richmond
If possible-and the Confederate
Museum if it could be arranged.
Therefore, we were glad to be able
to report to the meeting of the Exc
cutive Board an offer from the MI
scum to accept the whole col
lection, placing at once upon their
shelves those not already there and
storing the others until such a time
as the could have space for dupli-
Gates.
The Executive Board accepted
this offer and notified our former
Historian. Miss Rutherford, to send
the books to the Museum. Added
to that splendid collection begun by
Miss Rutherford, we have. through
her influence, the promise of one
hundred volumes from the Neal
Publishing Company; several vol
umes in my hands; and the promise
of some rare and valuable books and
manuscripts, as soon as the matter
is fully settled. If we can but go on
along the lines begun by Miss Ruth
erford, we vii indeed have builded
a monument more lasting than
brass"
Recently there has been brought
to our notice a widespread and
splendid movement begun by Miss
Katherine Stiles-to place such
books as these in the libraries of
England. This work has the endorse
ment of some of our Division, and
after consultation, this committee re-
that this convention ten

Can Money Purchase Health3

Money can buy everything but
health
This old adage has been proven
untrue by the Tennessee Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association which places
on sale its tenth annual edition of
Red Cross Christmas Seal on Decem-
Der LIST. throughout this state. These
little penny seals have saved thous-
ands of lives for the pennies collect
ed in sales of the past haveb ought
health for thousands of men. women
and children in this state.
Next year $500 Tennesseans are
doomed to die of consumption
preventable, durable and comfortable
disease. unless they can have help.
All that these people need is medi-
cal care and advice, good food, fresh
air and knowledge of how to take
care of themselves that they may be
prevented from injecting their fami-
lies and their friends.
The Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis
Association does this with staff of
trained workers who arc constantly
travelling throughout the state and
who are working towards the day
that each community will have a
public health nurse to guard the
public health.
Since it has been proven that
Money can buy everything, includ-
ing health the Association expects
to sell 20,000,000 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 mon
ey and buy some health for your
community.
