STRICKEN PEOPLE
Five Million Adults and 100000 Chill.
dren Are Actually Starving.

Nashville, Tenn. (SpeciaD 1.-The peo-
pie OF Tennessee will be called upon
during the week of June 21-2S to re-
spond to an urgent appeal in behalf
of stricken and starving humanity.
Between the states mentioned, the
American Committee for Jewish Re-
lief will conduct a non-sectarian cam
paign for funds to be used in saving
the lives of 100000 children and 5,OO0,-
900 adults in Eastern and Southern
Europe who are actually starving, in
nocent OF the wars tragedy.
The amount to be raised in Tennes-
see has been set at $350,OO0, the ma
jor portion of this amount to be pro-
rated between the four larger cities of
the state, according to population.
The campaign will be whirlwind af-
fair and Tennesseans who have es-
tablished an unparalleled record for
generous giving in all Of the war and
postwar campaigns are expected to
meet their obligation to humanity by
spontaneous response to this most
urgent appeal.
While most Of those stricken people
crying for help are Jews, many of
them represent the non-Jewish ele-
ment, and for this reason the cam
paign is being pitched on a non-sec-
tartan basis, with an opportunity for
everyone to aid in this most humani-
tartan project.
Tennesseans are daily made famil-
lar with the terrible conditions exist
ing in that part of Europe which is
crying for help from America. The
press associations have many of their
best correspondents assigned to tell
the outside world Of the great need
Of the suffering peoples and volumes
have already been written about the
dire suffering and misery, slow death
through starvation and disease which
are daily wiping out thousands Of
human lives because help is slow in
coming from the world at large.
Tennesseans are expected to help
Put this campaign over without de-
lay.
The states quota is $350,000.
The time Is June 21-2S.

YOU NEVER CAN

Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous,
Dangerous CaIomeI

Calomel salivates! It's mercury!
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable SUBJ
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start
your liver and straighten you up bet
ter and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while
if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it

YOUNG AT 90 IS
UNIQUE RECORD
OF MRS. VEAL

To those Of us who. perhaps natur-

years old as seated in the most COM
Portable chair that can be provided
for her, and spending her time talk
ing in a broken voice to members of
the family. it would have been a
rare treat to have witnessed the
birthday celebration of Mrs. Gustie
Elizabeth Veal. of Jackson county,
which took place last Wednesday on
the grounds about her home, near
Brazelton
Ninety-eight years of age on the
goth of September, Mrs. Veal claims
not only the distinction of being one
of the oldest women in the county.
but says she is just as spry and ac-
tive as many of her sex who are
forty years younger. and few who
saw her Wednesday felt that they
could take issue with her on this
point.
For quite a number" of years Mrs
Veal has been celebrating her birth
relatives and friends together and
providing them with an excellent re-
past on the grounds about her home.
or rather the home of her daughter,
MIS-. L. upper, Win whom S1G
has lived for a long time.
Mrs. Veal is probably the most

teen children, five of whom are still
living, and has siXty-two grandchil
dren and fifty-two great-grandchil-
dren, practically oil of whom are
now living While she is a woman
of many peculiar and eccentric hab-
it's, she has always led a most USE
full life. rhe learned to work when
young girl and has never forgotten
constantly doing work about the
house. o.. ,..., ........
She was horn and raised in Morgan
county, and was married at the age
of fifteen % Mr.. Elijah Veal. who
has been dead some twenty years.
She was seen Wednesday with her
wedding dress on, the dress she was
married in eighty three years ago,
and she explained to the $50 guests
present that she wanted to show
that she still possessed it, and to
tell them shat she, carried the cotton
through every process herself, from
the picking to the weaving into the
dress.
Mrs Veal las been a faithful
member of the Methodist church for
80 years. 3,.ck in the 70's and SOS
it is said she used to preach and
pray in the public church services.
1t has also neen said that she acted
as family physician to many of the
neighbors and that she was really
preferred in many instances to the
doctors r. the community. There is
one thing she could never be con-
WINGED of: t. at is, that a woman
should not become addicted to the to-
bacco habit just as a man. Conse-
quent!y The has been chewing to-
bacco for. many years, and, what is
more, she performs the feat of
chewing it with only one tooth in
her mouth. She has long since ex-
pressed her horror at false teeth and
vowed to yer use them.
Despite ne disadvantages of no
teeth and old age. however, Mrs
Veal managed to eat and enjoy the
fried chicken and other things pro-
vided at the inner. just as the 9TH
ers did, and to take a full share in
the activities of the occasion, which
was thoroughly ,njoyed by all.

measure upon their efficiency, and
the pains they take are almost IN
