In April, 1917. grand dinner was
given in honor of Capt Shaver for
making voyage on the steamer
Washington" from Louisville to
New Orleans aud back in forty-hve
6ays This was considered the most
wonderful and quickest trip In navi-
CATION on record. Thus a read from
this State was opened to the South,
connecting 1t with the world at large
There was one other way in which
to reach the south. and that was
through the wilderness. A road was
ma lie from Louisville to Nashville,
over which wagon traffic went from
one city to the other. The drivers

They fl I'd from their houses, clad In
their night robes, and lined the banks

All along the banks of the river,
from Pittsburg to Louisville, the
settlers were greatly alarmed, and

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Little doses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

The Devils Workshop"
Louisville Herald. !

Indlsness has b cen well turned the
Devils work shop" That work
shop. to the grave danger of society
Is constantly crowded. 1t is to all
CD servers a matter of surprise that
even In the times of great
est business activity and most ex-
acting industrial demands there
should be so many able-bodied young
men seen about own doing nothing
apI arentiy but spending other people :
money. The spectacle Is familiar to
everyone. How does A live? Where
does B get money! How can c afford
to dress so well, doing nothing appar-
emily to earn good clothes or the
good time generally he appears to
enjoy?
Questions such as these are every
day put, to remain unanswered. The
army the unemployed stylish young
men meantime keeps on increasing
while crime suffers no decrease.
To this army belonged the three
unfortunate young men recently execu-
ed in CHICAGO. All young, none
! having much mere than attained
majority, they belonged to respectful t
families The, mad the benefit, o: n
good common school education, but
| becomes, at comparatively tender
aye hoodlums and l,aters. Their
minds, stored with the most ia nous
! literature, were hardened to all elevat-
ing Influences. To crafty VIE k-d
prupensities money they hal to have.
But money the reward OF labor they
deCl red utterly beneath such indie.
pendent spirits. They would play
the highwayman and thus keep their
purses replenished. They assaulted
aud robb ed. murdered and plundeIed
several persons without the slightest
suspicion attaching to them. EN-
bodened by success, they next attack
ed car barn or station of the Chicago
City Railway, capturing s., 900 and
more in cash. They killed two men
in the car barn assault, and between
July Q and December I, 1898 murder
ed, az far as known, eight men.
The law at last cut short their ter.
rible careers. But there are In posse
hundreds OF such youths scattered
over the and. They do nothing hon
orable for lively hood. They read
nothing improving or uplifting.
Their associations are depIaved aud
d,bssing. Money they must get to
indulge their passions. They won't
work for 1t. Other peoples money
they consider a SOFT OF legitimate
prey for gentlemen of their school,
They embezzle, steal, rob and plumber
as opportunity offers. They will
come to some such end as the Chica-
go car barn robbers, but their mum
bers show no signs of diminutiop.
