The Question Now is Will il Ell
feet the Pink Slip"
Some Seem to Think That The Wiz
ing Must Be Done Properly Be-
fore Slip Comes of.

The work Of Special Inspector O. o.
Bassett, of Chicago. who is looking
over the electric wiring in Paducah,
has not yet been finished. He finds
much bad wiring. Either because
some one doesn't know OF doesn't
care, the wiring in some instances
has been such that il would not be
tolerated moment in city of any
size, where there IL some one to keep
watch over such things.
There is a difference of opinion
among insurance men as TO what will
be the result of the inspectors report.
Some say that until the wiring has
been made to conform to the proper
rules, the pink slip will remain on all
policies. Others say that the pink slip
will be removed when the city has
complied with the original recon
mendations OF the underwriters asso-
citation. but that rates will be raised
on every building separately in which
defective wiring has been discovered
aud ordered removed and replaced in
the proper manner and the order has
not been complied with.
ave don't believe that the pink slip
will have to remain on all policies be =
cause some property owners may not
have the electric wiring done over, "
said a prominent insurance man to
day. "Of course there should be no
defective wiring anywhere, but II one
man has his house wired correctly
aud his neighbor doesn't it looks as if
IL would be an injustice to keep the
pink slip on his policy because his
neighbor had failed to do what was
asked. still, the defective wiring in
one mans housa may Jeopardize q
whole block. or whole section, for
that matter, and thus make the risk
of an insurance company greater.

EXPERT WILL RUN
THE STREET ROLLER
Board of Public Works Sends
for a Capable Man.
He Will Be Sent Here by the Factory
and Run the Machine This
Summer
IS EXPECTED HERE TO-DAY

The board of public works of Padu-
oah has found the street roller such
valuable auxiliary in repairing the
streets that 1t will have an expert
here to operate it. When the roller
was purchased by the Republican
council, man from the factory came
here and made streets with il that
lasted for several years without
scarcely any repairs. During the
term of the Republican council COM
petent man was In charge Of the roller
all the time, but afterwards the DEM
ocrats did all they could to ruin the
roller. 1t was called white ele-
plant" and other names, and was run
into bitches, into { he river, was
broken, burned out, the top burned
off, and nearly everything else done
to IL. The principle reason was that
no competent man was ever in charge
OF it, and 1t gradually drifted into
disuse until it was discarded entirely
and left in shed to moulder away.
Instead of availing itself Of the
rollers practical and effectual work,
the city had it's alleged gravel spread
with a shovel, and rolled" by the
passing wheels of vehicles and hoofs
of horses.
The board of public works has
resurrected the rollers and being up
to.date men they realize its useful
ness. They have already saved ths1
city great deal of money and paced
some of the streets in excellent condi-
tion, especially Jefferson, and so
pleased are they with the results that
they have written to the factory to
send them an expert to operate the
roller this summer, and he Is expected
today. 1t is understood his name is
Harrison, and that he will make
streets with the roller that will open
the eyes of the people to the wanton
extravaganza for the past several
years of public officials, when the
roller could have been used to such
good advantage and wasn't
1t cannot yet be determined whether
or not there will be any delay in
Paducah because of the burning of
the brick plant at Louisville. II 10
understood that the factory will be
ready TO resume in about six weeks.
There are q great many thousand
bricks in Paducah, but many Of them
will be rejected. Those with only
small chips off Thorn, according to the
city engineer. will be accepted. but
those that are Clipped or broken to
any extent will not be. 1t seems that
a great many of them are broken to
take a casual look ct them as they are
stacked on the streets and the moro
rejected the more will be required to
complete the job. and 1t may be the
factory will be unable to supply the
contractor In time.
The work of laying concrete on
South Third street was suspended
late yesterday by order Of the city
inspector. Mr.. George Gardner, be-
cause the gravel was not clean. En-
gineer Washington states that the
gravel was all right itself, but had
mud mixed with il. and IL should DO
washed. The proper kind of gravel,
it is understood, will be secured today
or Monday.

II Paws To Use Scales.

Every farm should have its scales
and the farmer should use them.
Experience proves. that in marketing
hay, grain. live stock. etc, one cannot
always rely on the figures he must
take from the dealer. Then, where
he is feeding stock, he is running great
risk if he does not weigh the amount
Of feed put into the lot, and deter.
mine the rate of gain the animals are
making by weighing at least once a
week. 1t pays, as many successful
feeders know. by experience, to know
as soon as loss in the rate of gain
begins. 1t pays to know on what
feed the animals do best, and to
figure out the amount of profit. You
cannot do this without pair Of good
scales.

SURPRISING Cure by Dr.. Turbin.

It is perfectly astonishing to note
the results of certain modern methods
of medical treatment. Some time
since there applied to DR.. L. N. Tur-
bin, the noted specialist, who is well
known in this community, through
his monthly visits to Grand Rapids, a
patient, Emil Griffin, of Deerfeld,
Wis, who had treated with various
doctors for nervous debility for
several years without obtaining help.
His general health became sc depleted
from the weakness caused by frequent
severe attacks, as to make him at
times contemplate suicide. The
physicians whom he consulted were
nervous system so wrecked as to give
the case every feature of hopelessness.
In his dire extremity, the patient
called upon DR.. Turbin, who probed
deeply into the cause of the patients
terrible state. After thorough exami-
nation, DR.. Turbin discovered that
his patients debilitated nerve-System,
aggravated by neglect. could be
restored to normal condition by
scientific treatment. For such cases
DIR. Turbin has wonderfully effective
system of treatment which he at once
applied in this case with the result of
immediate relief and a speedy cure.
This is proven that a scientific con-
scientious physician is master OF grave
conditions by reason of his possession
of deep medical knowledge and acute
skill. Those who wish to consult a
specialist who is thoroughly abreast of
advanced science and who can cure
all forms of chronic diseases in men
and women, may be assured that they
are right in calling upon DIR. Turbin.
He has the utmost confidence of many
of our foremost citizens and he merits
it. The doctor may be consulted III

Why Indians Paint.

Once an old Apache Indian. when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little
legend:
"Long ago, when men were weak
and animals were big and strong, a
chief of the red men who lived in these
mountains went out to get a deer, fol
his people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw deer
and shot at it: but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting of the
arrow he jumped up and bounded
after the man, who ran for his life.
"He was almost exhausted, and,
when he felt his strength giving way
he fell to the ground calling on the
big bear who, you know, is the grand.
father Of men-tO save him.
1.-THE big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly; SO he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the man.
"Now, you must know that nc
animal will eat of the bear or tast OF
his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away: but as he did so his foot
scraped the face of the man, leaving
the marks of his claws on the blood
stained face.
"When the man found that he was
uninjured he was so thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face, and
never washed it at all, but left it un-
til it peeled off.
"Where the claws of the lion scraped
it off there were marks that. turned
brown in the sun, and where the blood
stayed on 1t was lighter. Now all

"Elk teeth by the bushel are one of
the chief assets which John Losekamp
of Billings, Mont, enumerates among
his big fortune" said E. NJ. Hoskins,
Butte man.
"Losekamp keeps general store at
Billings and for many years 1t was his
custom to trade supplies of one kind
or another for elk teeth, which, by
the way we're used for charms and
amulets long before the Elks took
them up as the emblems of their
order.
1.-THE action of the Colorado lodges
in agreeing to wear no more elk teeth
because the demand for the teeth
caused a wholesale slaughter of elks,
had a marked effect in reducing the
price. Other lodges respected the
motive, and quite boycott on elk
teeth was on for year or more. 1t
seems. however, they are in demand
again.
"Losekamp has been selling his at
81 apiece for ordinary teeth and
getting fancy prices for the very BEST.
His stock is sufficient to supply the
demand for years, but he makes no
effort to sell them, as he wants to
leave them as a part of his estate.
believing they will increase in value
faster than any other kind of
property"
