A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni.
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is Of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is rum
down and health is at a low
ebb Scott's Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

ALLOWANCE of SALARIES
VIII Probably BE the Only Busines
Before the School Board.

A
The school board will meet in ad-
journed session tonight at the High
school for the purpose of allowing
salaries for the month.
The meeting is not special meet
ing, but the regular meeting adjourn
ed, and this will make it possible for
the board members to bring up any
matter they desire to act on. There
are several matters pending which
may be touched on and there may be
several items of interest resulting
from the meeting. AS far as is re-
ported. however. the mere allowance
of salaries will be the only thing
done at the meeting tonight.

LOUISVILLE FIRM
To Work Convicts in Broom Depart
ment OF Eddyville Prison.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 21.-The con-
tract for working convicts in the
broom department of the Eddyville
penitentiary was awarded to Myer,
Bridges & Co., of Louisville. at the
meeting of the state prison commits
sion, held yesterday. The contract
calls for the working of from 10 to
one hundred men, and the price paid
is so cents a man per day.
The same company has had the
broom contract for the past eight
years, but paid only 35 cents man
during that time. The increase means
several thousand dollars additional
profit for the state. One firm, Norman
g. Hubbard, who had put in bid be-
fore. did not bid this time.

THE. NEWSPAPER A WORLDS
WONDER.

Merchants comment on the fact
that Christmas shopping has been
done SO much earlier than usual this
year. The familiar "Be early and
avoid the rush" seems to have moved
hundreds of people to do their shop
ping before the inevitable rush few
days before the anniversary. The
newspaper is largely responsible for
this. Several weeks ago by cartoon,
editorial and advertisement they be-
gan urging the public ito hurry" and
a large part of the public apparently.
took the hint.
The newspaper is one of the great
est aids and educators of the age.
Without it the nation would be hope
lessly helpless. The people would not
know which way to turn. 1t covers
the entire known world every day.
The system of news gathering is so
complete that every daily paper can
get the latest news from every place
on the globe, in condensed form, ev-
cry day. The larger papers do not
cover a wider field, but get more
news and more detailed reports than
the smaller ones.
The Sun, which goes into over s.
600 homes every day, and has many
thousand readers, averaging four
to a family, has a telegraph service
that embraces the principal happen
ings in every country. This news is
collected by one of the big press as
sociations, and sent out in three in
stallments daily to each paper that
takes its service. The press associa-
tion has its representatives. in every
country and there IL such a compre-
hensive and complete system of news
gathering that the general public has
no conception of its magnitude.
A few nights ago a prominent Lou
isville editor, Mr.. Young II. Allison,
delivered an address there on the
Newspaper Age" and declared that
the modern newspaper deserves to
rank among the seven wonders Of the
world"
"The newspaper" said Mr. Allison,
'.had its beginning in the news letter
written 800 years ago. while the
freedom of the press as it is now
known, is of very recent origin" He
said that Shakespeare recognized the
power of the newspaper. to such an
extent as TO prophesy great things for
its future in one of his plays.
In speaking of what was termed
newspaper in 1850. he said that II
was impossible TO find any news in its
columns. AS an instance he told of
the hanging OF Sue Monday in Louis
VILE in 1865. which caused consider
able excitement at the time, bui
which received Snly sixteen lines In
the nwspapers. "heneath the surface
OF every human Bang" said Mr..
Allison, rs 2 hunse to know what is

hunger that the modern newspaper
has been evolved
He said that the typesetting ma.
chine was another important factor
in its development.
Previous to this" he said. "the
average daily consisted of four pag-
es, with eight pages on Sunday" He
said the machine made the produc-
ton of the new spaper cheaper, and
with the aid of competition necessi-
tated the increase in the size of the
paper

the average person thinks of how
much he gets for his money when he
subscribes for the newspaper of to-
day? In one week, in one newspaper
in Louisville. 1000, 200 news words
are used. or ten average size books
which sell for Sis apiece. That
same newspaper furnishes an equiva-
lent of 500 books in year for the
small sum of 81 or So a year. There
are about 25,000 newspapers in the
United States, which is one-half of
the newspapers published in the.
