Front pidZZOS q Good Cure
For Nerves" If Rightly Used

Somebody says the piazza is to be
done away with.
Kind fate forbid, If there is one part
Of the suburban house we can't get
along without it's the front piazza.
The fault found with it is its publicity.
So much Of the family life has been
transported 10 the piazza that # seems
Ike turning the home inside cut for the
gaping inspection Of n curious public.
The remedy suggested is an incIosed
porch or a piazza around back Of the
house.
Now there may be back piaZZas where
the view is inspiring and the air good,
But most back piazzas open off the
kitchen. and give a limited prospect Of
hog-house and barn. They are not al
ways aIluring places 20 sit.
II they are, very well, let us sit there.
The main thing is 20 have an inviting
plaza. no matter where. As for an in
closed porch-well, If one doesn't want
the air and the view and the sky sweep
one may as well stay indoors and never
mind the expense Of incIosing a porch.
We hear Of an old doctor who is ia

odd prescription. Overworked men and
nerve-racked women. all out of sorts

begging TO be set right.
He looks them closely I'm the eve for

boys say IN college athletics. What you
need more than anything else Is to do a
little judicious loafing. Something I'm the
way Of a sun bath daily. in fact. the
very best thing / can recommend for

sit there for a month Of two and watch

There was a man in New York society
who was noted for his fine skin Even
the debutantes envied him his glorious
complexion free from blotch or blemish
Of any kind. It was not until after his
death that his valet revealed the secret
of his wonderful skin. He had washed
his face in buttermilk daily for years,

How to Use Wrinkle Cream.
A great many persons are afraid to
use cold cream. They use too little OF
It. They smear n very small portion
on the face and think they have used
enough
Now. cold cream is thing to be used
literally If at all It should be thin and
slightly warm and the entire face should
be covered with il, after which it can be
taken or with a soft cloth There is
a distinct art in using IT, Actresses who

that it is absolutely necessary to the
preservation Of the skin and that grease

Every time you wash your face YOU
take the natural OILS out Of the skin and
you must restore this oil with a good
cold cream.

GOOD FOR EXPRESS COMPANY

Officials of the American Express
company here have received word tnat
the court of appeals yesterday affirmed
the Judgment of the Ohio circuit
court at Hartford, KY, in the case
against A. B. Schlitzbaum, and this
is probably the beginning of the end
of one of the most noted instances OF
the attempted swindling of an express
company on record.
Schlitzbaum was agent for the
American Express company and the
Illinois Central at FordsvIlle, Ohio
county. A man named Boatner is al
legged to have come along and proposed
a scheme for swindling the express
company. Boatner was in Psducah II
few days before and registered at the
New Richmond hotel, and is believed
to be one of the shrewdest crooks in
the country.
He went to Fordsville and apparent

baum package alleged TO contain
$4,000 to be expressed to town only

A Number of Crews to be Pulled
Off.

Lately.
AND OTHER RAILROAD NOTES

Mr.. A. II. Egan, superintendent of
the Louisville division of the l. O.,
is in the city today his first visit TO
Paducah since his return from Chi
cago.
Mr.. Egan was called TO Chicago last
week to confer with the higher off,
cisls and the division superintendent
to arrange changes in the schedule OF
the road. 1t was intended originally
that q new time card be mapped out
for the 18th of May, but il will be
June before the new schedule will
be in the proper condit ion to go into
effect The officials have all returned
home, having given in all possible in.
formation for the betterment of the
schedule, and it Is said one important
action taken is the decision of the big
officials to cut down the crews on the
road because of the falling of Of bust.
ness.
For the past several weeks the bust
ness of the Illinois Central all over
the system, has perceptibly fallen of,
the rush being over and there are
many crews working with very small
trains. The road operators have de-
cided that these crews be taken of and
the smaller trains consolidated with
the larger ones.
This will affect Paducah slightly,
it is stated, from three to five regu.
lar crews peiEg taken off. 1t is not
known when this will be done but the
order is expected daily. An official
stated this morning that one reason
the business has fallen of on the
Louisville division is on account OF
the coal miners situation in Central
Kentucky. The few cars of coal got
ten out, comparatively, can be easily
handled and until the differences il
settled in the mining regions, the
road will rur q shortage in crews.
