NOTICE TO TEACHERS.
BY A. v. LOUTHAN, Charm

To School Officers and Teachers OF
Tennessee:
This communication would not be
addressed to you if there was not a
real reason for so doing.
The remnant of the Christian peo-
pie in Bible Lands are still in most
deplorable condition.
Children to the number of more
than 250,000, made orphans, by war
fare carried on, after the manner OF
the most cruel barbarians, are literal
ly starving to death. One hundred
thousand young Christian Armenian
women and girls are held captive by
the unspeakable Turk.
The Armenian people, according to
their numbers, died and suffered more
in the world war for human liberty
than any other people involved. Early
in the world war the Turkish govern
ment knew it had an Armenian prob
lem on its hands and this problem
was sought to be solved in the most
brutal way. The barbarous Turks
concluded that if they had no Arme-
mans, they would have no such prob
lem. AS a result one million Arme-
mans were deported and eight hun
bred thousand were massacred during
the early days of the war. Those who
escaped have been in constant immi-
nent danger or death by stomatien.
Practical American benevolence has
kept alive large portion of the des-
titute people of the Near East. The
Near East Relief was Incorporated
BY an Act of Congress August 9th,
1919 and makes an annual report of
collections and disbursements to that
body.
This appeal is made to remind you
that we are still our brothers keeper
and that our hands are ever ready to
administer to suffering childhood. If
you can lend assistance in carrying
on a campaign for grain and funds
for this cause, it will be an effort
nobly spent. a

ia Association won second prize at
the Tri-State Fair at Memphis in
stead of the first prize. A number of
people have asked that question. Our
reason is that our potatoes were not
quite so uniform as those of Mississ-
ippi. In other words, if we had had
few more who were interested to
the extent of supplying some real
high class stuff we might have got
ten first prize. And there were other
reasons too perhaps that we did not

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
and is safe and pleasant to take are
their effect is so gentle that one hard
ly realizes that it is produced by a
medicine. Then, they not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.-All
