of expenses when estimates of the ap-
propriations wanted for the ensuing

Water Commissioner Brady's report tc
Mayor Dodge is full of meat. The esti-
mates for work to be done the COMING
year show that vast amount of con
etructiOn is to be done and The service
pipe will be of larger diameter than has
been in use by the department except
in a few instances.
But the feature Of the commuuica-
ton is the list of expenses of the Kettle
Brook supply. The cost to the city for
taking Kettle Brook thus far including
the damages TO property of Lakeside
Manufacturing Co, is 1920 207. The legal
expenses make a big item

ials $2S19.71; extra service of expert

Mime. Yale'S
Advice

Clean and purify out Of your body
all the poisons and dangerous ingredI-
ents that have found their way into
your blood.
What are all the great cleansing and
purifying organs Of your body for, il
not to keep your whole system clean,
pure, fresh, natural and healthy?
When they are clogged, dirty and
sluggish from poison and impurty
what can you expect but disease and
ugliness.
Dirt is poison, and poison is disease
Dirt in your blood is the deadliest kind
Of poison.

AUNT CAROLINE
Has Delighted Thousands Of Orphans With
Twenty Three Festive Dinners.

While at Louisville this week the
News visited the Baptist Orphans
Home. This institution has been in
existence over a quarter Of century
and is model OF its kind. 1t is home
where an immense family of 1923 or
phans OF both sexes have been cared for
as tenderly as was possible under the
circumstances. The sanitary arrange
ments OF the institution are splendid
and it is probably due to this reason
that the mortality is so low, there hav-
ing occurred only II deaths since the
foundation of the home. One OF the I'M
ique personages connected with the ill.,
stitution is AUNT Caroline" the good
old colored cook. She is the typical
NANNY" of antebellum days and for
20 years has prepared the daily meals
for the 1923 children who have been in.
mates OF the home. She prides herself
upon the % Thanksgiving dinners she
has cooked for the youngsters, and is
satisfied that each succeeding dinner
eclipses its predecessor.

forever. Little Miss Mary Franklin re-

Clarence Neafus, only son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. L. Neafus died at his home near
Ekron, last Friday at 2 o'clock p. M.
He had not been we'll for sometime and
had been under medical treatment, but
had only been confined to his bed ten
days. DR.. Dugan performed an opera
ton last Wednesday assisted by local
doctors and pronounced it tumor which
was 30 located that removal meant in
slant death. Clarence, poor boy, so
young, about twenty-eight never realiz.
ed that his condition was hopeless and
in his anxiety to live, braced up and was
even cheerful. The end came quickly
but sweetly, peacefully, surrounded by
ather, mother, young devoted wife his
two sisters and many relatives and
friends. Clarence was dear good boy,
kind, affectionate, respectful in manner
and reliable in all transactions. He
married Miss Hattie Capphage, of Leban-
on, KY, about four years ago and they
have spent a most happy pleasant life.
His remains were entered in the family
lot Of Brandenburg cemetery, where a
large number OF friends and relatives
assembled to attest the esteem in which
he was held, Great sympathy is extend.
