You don't Ilka to hay your wife go along? rWell, if you don't like her company, why in did you marry her? Collect The Tobacco Tax. "There. Cfen be no objection to any measure designed to force the collection of the maximum of the tobacco tax.

This is a tax that lnTolveB no hardship upon anyone. It Is purely" voluntary. However much one may enjoy his smoke, or his chew the weed cannot be classed 88 a luxury. It is not an absolute essential, go that if there are those who sb serl ouily object to the tax as to resent its pay- ments they can quit the use of tobacco with perhaps, only very slight inconvenience. ne consumption per capita ot tobacco aoes nnt varr treatlw In thn upptlnr.a nt the state.

Our people are They bdloDK lareelv to the same stock. Their habits anl modes of life are very similar. Hence, if the. consumption of tobacco, as indicated by jthd tax receipts, varies greatly between ferent localities the inference is plain. The tax Is not being collected in that locality where the lower consumption is Indicated.

There is avasion and dodging of the tax." An injustice Is being perpetrated on those who do pay the tax! and moreover the state Is being denied rev-i enne that belongs to it. I Revenues from the tobacco tax are all dedi-; cited now to public education, a most laud-aula purpose. Perhaps the full amount of the i estimated receipts from this source have already been anticipated in the various laws en acted by the present legislature. That makes it mora than ever necessary that the officials charged with the collection of the tax should 4 bt vigilant la the discharge of their duties and that they should have such assistance from 1 the legislators in strengthening their arms as may be necessary. 1 Tha tobacco tax Is here to stay.

It is hardly likely that it will ever be abandoned in Tennessee as a source of revenue. Passed over the most violent opposition even many of its bitterest opponents are becoming reconciled to It They, aea ltd Justice and they appreciate the educational progress that it has made pos-, slble withont that constant increase In prop- I erty taxes that was adding to the burden of the fanners add the home owners. Being a per-manent tax makes it all the more necessary a that Jtd enforcement should be fair and im-f partial. 1. Without Foundation.

I turned td the right and made for the' third floor. And back in the' dim recesses of that bos pltal Icame upon the course in elevatoristics.

Ordinarily an elevator does not appall me, 1 can uke a twenty-story drop In a fast express elevator without turning over the breakfast batter cakes In my cosmos or batting an eye. But something seemed to tell me that the Vani derbilt hospital elevator and I would not get Wong together. To begin, with It would not come tor a space, although I hung maniully on the call bell, There was a grinding and a humming In the elevator shaft somewhere up in the air. And then finally, with "creaklngs' and groaning which characterizes elevators and old people alike, the elevator hove In sight Now the elevator was all right except there wasn't a soul in it. Or at least there wasn't a body In tt I peered Into its brightly lighted Interior to see if a roguish elevator boy' waa hiding.

He was not There was simply nobody in the car. I do not have any idea how this thing works, I thought but then neither did Columbus or LaSalle or Amerlcus Vespucci. vSo 1 deter mined to open the doors and step boldly Into the thing. jA At that moment just as I had my hand err the door the elevator began to groan like a lazy mule and then It began to rise. In response to a summons, from the floor ajove i left me and went hence before had time to board it 'ijjy't I felt outraged.

Here I was screwing up my courage and just when I got It screwed the dratted thing went oft and left me. I waited as patiently as one does in such Instances and hung on the call bell In a few moments the elevator came down. It did not hesitate. It went directly to tne. ground floor and In a moment it returned With Dr.

Thereupon two good looking nurses hauled an Individual on a long wheel table thing into the car, filling it with smells of ether or some anaesthetic.

Its. only, home, it is not revealed in the com municatlons-which have appeared in reply to in editorial criticism bt missionaries who are apologetic of Western civilisation. 1 On thet contrary, we have; been led to bV ileve, Vot only-from what has been said, but front the spirit of the utterances, that the people to whom we have been at much cost and sacrifice trying to Bend the Christian religion, are infinitely' better off than the peoples who have enjoyed its benign, blessings for centuries. One critic actually 'confesses that the only reason yet discoverable for missionary effort is the command of the Savior, Implying that ho good purpose other than the personal satisfaction that comes frp'm obeying a divine injunction, can possibly come from such effort.

Frankly we do not share these views. 'On the contrary, we believe that' our so-called "Western' civilization," owes much that la good within it to the example, the teachings and the Influence of Christ md the Godly men and women who have been His evangels down through the ages. All this talk About "imperialism" and greed' and "gobbling up" other folks' territory and possessions, of jazs and crime, as the distinctive characteristics our civilization, comes from those with jaundiced -lews or-who art) pacifists. Under our system the common man has by far the best opportunity he has ever had un der any conditions known to history. People enjoy the highest standard of life ever known.

With all its imperfections our so-called' Chris tian civilization makes It possible for the plain folks to enjoy more than they ever had under any other system or theory. Women have higher status, children are given greater care and attention and all live longer and better. We believe that human progress, among the so-calle(rChristiau peoples, Is real, not merely apparent Wherever our "imperialistic policy" now so bitterly assailed by the pacifists, has carried our civilization mankind has Take conditions anywhere in the tropins where the white men of the Western, civilization have gone and we find that disease has been con quered, life made more endurable, barbarou3 practices have been ended and humanity lifted to a little higher level than ever before known. These blessing have not been alone tor the "Imperialists," but they have uniformly inured to the benefit of the subject races. But the pacifist denies that conflict has ever been of any benefit to humanity.

He holds that there was never a good or a jui tillable war and since in large measure the progress that our Western civilization has made has been due to force, it has all been a colossal mistake. There are, in his conception, no conditions from which escape has been sought through the use of force, that were quite so lad as the -method invoked for bringing about relief. Of course this theory is all right until one examines the history ot the race. The only trouble about it, beautiful as it appears on Us face, is that it does not square with the facts. It the pacifist is correct he must indict Charles Martel and the Christians for having resisted at Tours the spread of Islamism with force; he must deny that human liberty made any progress as the result of the English revolution, the subsequent commonwealth and the bill ot rights of a later date.

The colonists -ean never be justified for taking up arms to give force and effect to the fine theories of human rights promulgated in the Declaration of Independence. America's course in fighting for the principles that gave her birth ten years ago would never be Justified; on the contrary, we should have turned the other cheek and trusted to the power of persuasion to check a despotic militarism that had run amuck. We should have set that example for "supine submission to wrong' which Grover Cleveland declared would be the price of the self-respect of any people. Na tionalist sentiment has no place in the doc trine of the pacifist. One country Is unusually wrong or at least has too little virtue in Its cause to warrant any sacrifice.

Mixed On Derivatives, New Jersey legislators are struggling with a problem Involving a constitutional amendment all because they were Ignorant of or careless about their Latin derivatives. Two years ago tho legislature, desirous of abolishing annual elections to that body, passed an amendment, so they thought, providing for elections every two years. It was a good reform; nothing bet ter could be imagined for the peace and well being of the people unless it had doubled the space between the elections. Sessions every two years are bad enough; every year would be 'almost a tragedy. But, in their carelessness or ignorance of Latin derivatives the legislators have awak ened to the fact that instead ot providing for legislative elections every two years, as they intended, the amendment provides for such elections twice a year.

One can well imagine the consternation ot the people of Tennessee if they were suddenly apprised of the fact that twice each year they would elect legislators who twice in the same year would meet and appropriate. It all came about through the use of the word "Biannual" when the lawmakers should have used word "biennial." Now they do not know whether to start all over, pass the amendment in the proper form, which wouM involve a delay of two years more, or submit it to the people this fall as was originally intended and trust to the courts to save them and the people from the predicament into which they have gotten themselves. That the courts would come to the rescue of the harassed legislators is a very probable assumption. It would not take judicial proof to establish the factthat the average legislator is somewhat shy 'on his understanding of the exact meaning of language. Moreover the average politician, it may safely be assumed, agrees with Talleyrand that "language was intended to conceal thought" Bolng adept In the use ot words to carry out that idea it is not surprising that occasionally they find that they have done very opposite, from that which was intended.

It may be assumed moreover that the supreme court would stretch thlnea a bit if necessarv to have the neonle I from biannual legislative i a i 41 ATTA Dear Dr. Brady: wU IH Krai A1 A read your dally articles ot "Personal Health Service, after I have finished with the, one In. hand.

Some people think 1 crazy thet way, I am bringing up my baby, by putting him out in the cold air. rain or thine, and by taking hUn put during cold weather, I do not wish to boast, but I doubt that a baby could be any healthier than mine is. A 1 do-iot believe that a baby catch cold from being out in the opener in cold weather; So be sure I am ready to hurrah for Dr. Brady, tor it is through reading your articles that 1 have found this out It seemed only right to tell you how much your teachings have helped our family, (Mrs; O. Mrs.

0. B. is a young There is always a chance to accomplish something if we catch 'em young. The old fishwives and fossils are Quite hopeless, and I am now resigned to this, though formerly it gave me much worry. Nowadays I don't worry a bit about the delusions of the old folk, but devote myself to the young 'uns exclusively.

-Even our staid publlo health departments here and there are beginning to approve, bt some such bringing up as Mrs. 0. baby is getting. In ten or twenty years more all of them will be advising what I hare heen advising for twenty years past The old fishwives auu ivDoiio ai a ujtiift uif auv a LwwievuoawMvii is coming on. These young folk are more sophisticated and you ean't hand 'em, the old hokum about "avoiding drafts and exposure' without the risk of getting the laugh such nonsense deserves.

Of course Mrs. 0. baby Is healthier than the poor little hothouse infants whose mothers follow the fishwives' method. Fresh air and sunlight are even more essential for the well being of the young infant than they are of the health of older children. I have reached the point where I don't care a hoot what any old fossil or fishwife thinks about my teachings though this sometimes hurts iay business, my present business.

I look lor mucn better business when me Dames grow up and become readers and suscrlbers, hoping that the few who become advertisers will keep a kindly sentiment in their, hearts for poor old Doctor Brady. But no kidding, it Is a great feeling to meet a fine mother or father who exclaims, "Why, we brought up alj our children on your plan and look at them!" That makes looking at them a mighty pleasant Mrs. 0. baby, out on the porch or in the dooryard 'for his regular morning and aft ernoon nap or play, will be distinctly less like ly to contract pneumonia, diphtheria; bron chltis or other cri than the indoor typs of Infant, so I am optimistic about my future bus iness, for I am an evolutionist and I bc'ieve in Lit survival of the fittest. QUESTIONS AMD ANSWERS Fruit Sugar and Diabetes.

Is the natural sugar In fruit harmful? (E. Answer Each individual with diabetes my take and utilize a pertain amount of sugar dally. The defect merely requires that the diabetic patient restrict the amount of sugar (or starch) to the maximum he or she can utilize. Your physician is the only person who can tell you just how much sugar you may safely or wisely take.

It doesn't matter whether the sugar is in the form of cane sugar, fruit sugar, honey or what not. Nor does It matter how much water you may take along with the sugar. Stuff We Can. Our dear Dr. Brady What would we do without you! Send me any old stuff you can on the liver.

She walked squarely into the center of the intersection of Forest avenue and Second boulevard and obstinately refused to budge. Once or twice she let fly her heels. A motorist, who gave her a gentle nudge with the front bumper, felt the wind whistle past him as a hoof grazed the windshield. Patrolmen Thomas Holland and John Zar-neskl found Maud eating a loaf of bread dropped from a baker's cart. They also found as neat a traffic Jam as has been recorded since the Weepah gold rush.

They approached Maud gingerly and Zarneski whispered words into her shaggy ear, but they made no Impression. Then Holland saw a white light-he grabbed the loaf of bread and started for the station, with Maud Eventually they got her to the station. It took exactly 45 minutes, according to the officers. Maud stopped, in the center of Woodward avenue and repeated the traffic hold-up when the bread ran out Lota of other things happened. But they delivered her neverthe-lesa.

Lights of New YDrk AN OLD GAG New York, April 22. Many a spaghetti wrestler has built a little hole in the wall on a side street into a big time table d'hote with balconies and bits of old Italy by causing it to be whispered about that his hand was the one which cooked the elusive Italian native, dish for the beloved tenor Esrico Caruso. There are almost as many "favorite haunts ot Caruso" in New, York as there are revolutionary houses where George Washington spent the night Caruso was an Inveterate spaghetti eater, but not to extent his shrewd countrymen would have their patrons believe. THE TENOR INFLUENCE I have it on good authority that Mr. Giovanni MartlnelU, first tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, and accredited by many as the legitimate successor to Caruso, Is as much addicted to the Italian dish called "polenta" as was the great Enrico to spaghetti "Polenta" is an Italian version of our corn meal mush.

It is served with a tomato and meat sauce, and Is accompanied by boiled or baked fowl, game or other meats. Chlanti or an Italian white wine lends it tone. Now go to Joe! Spread the "polenta" table about how the mighty MartlnelU will eat the native dish of his own town of Cadore from none but your hand. May we see "polenta" being la'delled out of steaming pots in quick lunch windows as we now see spaghetti and macaroni unwinding by the mile? PUBLICITY The Dutch Treat club, that fastidiously mem bership organization for promotion of art and witticism, presented the laugh ot the week In the form ot a "skit." It happened at their last lunch-feast. tt seems a woman burned to Insert herself into the swank Long Island set and failed.

The failure was bad enough, but what hurt worse was the fact that she had set her heart upon being won by a beauteous youth whose name had persistently eluded her. So the lady shot the youth. That way she found out his name-in the newspapers.

WORD To the Editor of The Tennessean: Matters ot general Interest ahd Importance often become as second nature to some while they remain unknown or unrecognized by others. This may very well be the case in a day when mountains of data which vary much in quality and Importance are dumped On the bewildered public by those who seem to believe there is nothing better to do But in a subject like religion It is folly to pretend that the sim necessary facts should be1 withheld from humanity, as that uninformed scientists and the scientist-fascinated clergy should Ignore necessary facts. For reason I wish to give a moment, to the word, "replenish" found tn the Genesis, 1:28. God said to man and woman after their creation) "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and sub due it." It is possible, although as a rule it is most improbable, that a single word of the Bible should be an error made in copying in spite of the almost, superhuman efforts made to prevent errors. It Is -an interesting fact that no' necessary tenet ot faith depends on one or even two or three passages.

Yet the word "replenish" In Its place above has never been questioned. No reason exists Tor any doubt regarding it. Itinust mean, therefore, that there was life on thevearUi before the six days or miraculous creation. The first verse of the. Bible says that the heavens and the earth were created.

It must be admit ted then that a space of time elapsed 'between this and the creation next recorded an interpretation which fits perfectly with an understanding ot brief narrative accounts found in various places in the Bible. It seems also, since light, sun, stars 'and firmament are in the six days' creation, and soil and seas are separated, that the earth was different from what It is now. This suggests the thought that since man only is told to re-plenlsh the earth, -his predecessor must been a man-like creature; namely, one made In God's image. The angel Gabriel is called a man by Daniel. a Only a certain kind ot scientist with naivete peculiar to Itself, will says "We have, then, remains of a pre-creatlon man." I would as lief believe some scientists as deny truth, morality and The view of the Bible as literal where the rules of language so require is, the only one that sustains In detail reason and consistency.
