While Americans, take great pride

generally appreciated that a great
many injure themselves physically
wreck nervous systems, invite pre-
mature wrinkles, gray hairs and In
firmities by the hurry. worry way In
which they live. neglecting in many
instances proper care of the body and
letting the real pleasures of life es-
cape as forfeit. Unrestrained
strenuousness means neurasthenla
ultimately.
Neurasthenia is nerve-exhaustion
and that means inefficiency OF the
body to carry on vital functioning
Nerve centres lag; debility ensues;
listlessness and fatigue reign. Pain
may be felt in the back; fullness or
pressure at the top OF the head; sleep
is broken and without refreshment;
digestion notably is weak and loss OF
appetite. constipation and distress
after eating are the rule. The head
acb of neurasthenia Is like a band
around the head; ordinarily is worse
in the morning and better towards
the end OF day, and is probably the
most common of all headaches which
come for treatment
Now, drugs do not help neuras-
thenia; that is admitted; and ply
slclans have long been accustomed
to send their neurasthenlcs away
from the cities to the mountains, sea-
shore, abroad or anywhere to find
new scenes and enjoy tranquil restor-
alton. But that is expensive and
there is a surer, quicker and better
as well as less costly way--Osteo.

do not count the cost" said DR..
ID. c. Wright in urging the necessity
for more extensive sewer system.
But, of course. the cost will be accu-
rately estimated when the plans are
adopted. His words mean that citi-
zens must not weigh a mere consid-
Grafton of dollars and cents against
the bulk of human lives and the
health of their children; that the
actual value of proper sanitation is
not computable in money. II might
be well, however, for citizens to take
some accounting Of the cost of their
possible negligence in this regard, as
estimated in the health of the com
munity and its retarding effect on the
development of the city.

The respective interests of Bob
Taylor and Senator Carmack receive
small attention outside Tennes-
see, but their unique contest for the
senatorship waged before the people
of their party. has attracted public
notice, and the eyes of the political
manager, ever as keen for a popular
novelty as the impressario, are fas-
tened on the aftermath of the prima-
ry. VIII the factional feeling arous-

"sTIcKToATIvENEss."

Ine following article, from the
pen OF Joel Benton, one of the most
successful advertising, men in. the
<country, while written especially as
a thought suggester for advertisers,
or the people who should be adver-
tiscrs. has such excellent points
in II that the idea can be adopted by
everyone with profit to themselves.
1t is from Printers Ink, of recent
date: 4.
There is an occasional slang word
which hits the marH so well that 1t
asks no odds of the dictionary. cares
not for its lineage. but fulfills the
writer's purpose as no other can. A
notable word OF this kind is stick
toativeness," and the trait IL. repre-
sents, of being constantly at work
and ever evident. is one of the prime
essentials to business success.
1t was Franklin, believe, under
the sobriquet of''Poor Richard" who
said LET not him who takes hold of
the handles of the plow turn back
or words to a similar effect. And
he might have added. Remember
Lots wife" For II is true. both in
business and in the advertising Of
business, that It is by persistence that
you obtain memorable and profitable
results. The farmer who sows or
plants his fields and tills them al
most up to the week of harvesting,
and then neglects to gather his crop.
is paralleled in numberless cases by
those who engage in commercial ex-
periments.
II is not only necessary. to be sure,
70 begin wisely and even to doubt
and falter then, but to work with
sagacity. But when thoroughly
thought-out plan has been adopted,
there is no time and no cause for
further hesitation. The watchword
then should be ION to Gibraltar" or
to whatever point is to be gained. A
certain Latin motto says, Through
difficulties we reach the stars" or rise
to any eminence that we seek and
rarely In any easier way.
In advertising. especially, what
benefit comes arises from setting
your work rightly and then following
II up. A few proclamations, well and
ingeniously made, often do wonders.
but this does not mean an order to
cease publicity. II shows. rather,that
you have captured a good hearing
and perhaps have got your moneys
worth of expenditure. But you have
got also. in this case. a valuable mo
mentum---a force working for you
that can be accelerated and increas-
cd, if you viii keep pushing II on, 10
much farther profit. To pause at this
jucture Is not only to weaken this
beneficial effect. but to ultimately
wipe 1t out.
The new fuel added to the fire,
however, must show a fast clinging
10 your arguments; fixed purpose
10 support It: an evidence that you
are on your own ground. prepared to
prove and follow up what has been
previousiy>uAid. 1t is a singular fact
OF human ~ - which II is proper
to notice in t6l nRection. that the
world helps tho Rggressively

viii Speak Tuesday Night At Ken
lucky Theater Under Auspices
OF Commercial Club.

Paducah owes much to her public
spirited organizations, the clubs that
have brought to the city the best
of music and educational talent. and
TO the Commercial club, which is ever
promoting whatever is for the ad-
vancement of the community along
all lines. The latest effort of the
Commercial club is the arrangement
for a lecture tomorrow night by Will
liam A. Robinson. of Louisville, who
will address the citizens on Taxa
tion." The Kentucky theater has
been secured for the occasion and
1t is expected that a large represen;
tation of the farmers of the county,
as well as city people will attend.
While he has no hobby to present,
Mr.. Robinson has made close and
exhaustive study of the ancient ques-
ton of taxation. and he is prepared
to elucidate the subject to his hear
ers.
Hon. Wheeler Campbell will speak
from the same platform along the
same line.
The lecture is free.
