by firm but widely-spaced stitching,
leaving an air space between the
two fabrics to ventilate the garment
and keep it fresh and dry.
Underwear

The Greater Gift.
(By El win Hunt.)
They talk of the love of women
and tell of the passions grand; of
the girls they have met and want
to meet, in all this wide, wide land.
They tell me that love is a funny
thing, and its courses run deep and
still; they claim if it's strong and
hard enough, it will either cure or
kill. Now I am immune from a love
like that, but I know another kind,
that strikes and thrills me to my
soul, that ties even closer will bind
'Tis the love of a little baby; 'tis
given to me every day; 'tis a gift
that I prize 'yond all this earth, 'tis
a thing 'bout which I pray. When
a little child will open his arms, and
put his trust in men, my heart it
swells as if it would burst, the Gates
of Heaven I see. They, may sing of
their conquests of demoselles, I'm
not the least nit riiea; tor I, my
friends, have a greater gife I can
win the love of a child.

KINGDOM OF GREECE
BETWEEN TWO FIRES;
Co-operation in Potato Growing.
As a direct result of the work
done by the Industrial Department
of the N., C. & St. L. Railway among
the potato growers of West Tennes
see in urging co-operation, there is
a sweet potato crop in that section
this year of 135,000 bushels. This
is only one of the striking examples
of what this road is trying to do for
the farmers along its lines to pro
mote better agricultural conditions
The crop at Gleason is 75,000 bush
els; at McKenzie, 45,000 bushels; at
Dresden, 5,000 bushels; at Jackson
5,000 bushels; at Huntingdon, 5,000
bushels. The average yield was 175
bushels to the acre. The potatoes
are being stored in modern potato
houses, kiln dried and held for the
market. W. R. Hawks, of Gleason,
is president of the Potato Growers'
Federation and J. C. Sasser, of Mc
Kenzie, is secretary. Before the co
operative work was started ,the po
tato growers of that section were
working as individual growers and
frequently failed to get the top
market price.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
wav to cure deatness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
vou have a rumblinar sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can he taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars lor any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, bend tor circu

Threatened by Germans on Land and

New York, Dec. 4. Ever since the
time when the first spark, illumi
nated the present struggle the Balk
an States felt the commencement of
hostilities among the great powers
was to be terminated on Balkan soil
with a complete change of the map
to the satisfaction of the stronger.
Thus nations that have been com
pelted to fight on one side or the
other, some for cause and some with
out any, doubtless have wished they
need not fire at all but might suffer
and wait the Judgment to be render
ed after the close of the conflict
But here we have a case where
whatever the nation will do will be
to her detriment. The neutrality of
Greece! Shall Greece fight against
the Teutons, the allies, or remain
neutral? These are the questions
propounded to her and which she
must decide. But can Greece decide
now, and, if so, what course should
she take? The Germans and their
allies are almost on the border of
Greece. The British and French
fleet have blockaded all ports of
Greece and have refused to allow
commercial intercourse with that
country. She cannot fight against
the allies and she cannot fight
against Austro-German troops. But
she must decide, she is told, one way
or the other.
The allies have sent' no re-enforcements
to support Greece and drive
their enemy out of Servia, and Ger
many's fleet is beyond reach to pro
tect Greek interests. To remain
neutral? Here are the conditions:
The allies say: "You must not
disarm our soldiers when they re
treat into your territory, for if you
do' we will have to press our block
ade against you and will consider
you an enemy."
The Germans say: "Define your
policy whether you will maintain
neutrality or become our enemy. If
you want to be neutral you must
disarm our foe as soon as they enter
into your border. Otherwise we will
consider you as one of our enemies
and pursue you accordingly."
If Greece, in accordance with the
opinion of King Constantine and his
military staff, had 500,000 . Anglo
French troops to assist her and check
the Teuton advance, they would turn
easily toward Constantinople the
prize and goal of the present struggle.
The Greek people have cast their
sympathies with the allies ever since
their independence was granted.
They want to help them, but how
can they do it? They are not strong
enough to resist German invasion.
King Constantine's thoughts and
sympathies are purely Greek and not
German or any other nationalitv.
He looks for the interests of Greece!
He watches the opportunity to strike
for the defense of Greece; not for
the benefit of the allies or of the
central powers, but for the benefit of
Greece. He has learned the loss of
1897, of the Greco-Turkish war, and
he is very careful to use his power.
King Constantine told the allies at
the time they undertook to open the
Dardanelles that they only were los
ing their time, life and treasure in
the course they pursued. If the allies
had given to the Grecian king 500,
000 troops or less at the time they
started to force the opening of the
Dardanelles they would be in Con
stantinople now, and the war, per
haps, ended. But Russia objected to
such a course, and .the protests from
Petrograd poured into the British
and P'rench capitals changed the
contemplated land operations -and
followed the naval demonstration

with the landing of a small 'force at
Gallipoli.
Conditions now have changed.
Bulgaria then was neutral, and
would have remained neutral had
the allies landed at Kavala and ad
vanced with Greek troops thru Bul
garian territory toward Constanti
nople. Within a few weeks Constan
tinople would have fallen and the
allies been declared victors. But the
Russians would not consent that
Greek troops enter Constantinople.
That was the condition upon which
Russia finally yielded to the wishes
of the British and French generals.
But the allies neither sent sufficient
numbers of troops nor pursued the
right course suggested by King Con
stantine. '

OLD AND NEW WAY
TO TREAT CATARRH
Breathing a Cerm Killing Air Endorsed By
Actual Results.
The discovery of Hyomei has wrought
a wonderful change in the treatment of
catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medicine
ordinarily employed in the cure of this
disease were drugs, sprays, lotions, etc.
In some instances they benefited, but
the improvement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of your throat and head a bal
samic air that goes into the minutest
cells, and should effectually kill all
germs aud microbes of catarrh. Its
purpose is to enter the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the blood,
and restore health to the whole system.
Many astonishing testimonials have been
received .from those wbo heve been
helped by Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suf
ficient Hyomei for several weeks' treat
ment. Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact that
Oliver s Red Cross Drug Store have so
much faith in Hyomei that they sell
every package under a positive guaran
tee to refund the money if it does not
relieve. Adv.
San Francisco, Dec. 4. To-day
was the last day of the Panama-Pa
cific exposition. The sounding of
"Taps" from the lofty tower of Jew
els, the pressing of a button by Presi
dent C. C. Moore that extinguished
the myriad Hghts of the "jewel city,"
the hauling down of the flags and
the furling of the banner, and the
singing of "Auld Lang Syne" were
the final and concluding acts of the
exposition which opened February
20. - '
A ' record-breaking crowd attended
the ceremonies. Business thruout
the city was practically suspended
for the day. The exposition officials
expressed the belief that the day's
attendance -would reach the 400,000
mark, which would make the total
attendance during the 28S days of
the exposition close to 19,000,000.
The previous record for one day was
on San Francisco day, November 2,
when 348,472 persons passed thru
the gates. The total attendance up
to 11 o'clock last night was 18,413,-399.
Official exercises took place in the
Court of the Universe. These were
to include the reading of President
Wilson's international toast, epito-
mizing the exposition idealism and
achievements, and to conclude' with
the singing of "America," by the
audience.'
The evening program includes i
carnival pageant of . electrically il
luminated floats in the exposition
grounds.
