One of the most novel entertain
meuts of the season was the one
rendered the Sans Souci club on
last Friday afternoon by Mrs. Cliff
ford Joyner at her sweet little home
three miles from town. The enter
tainment sugges ted the house
cleaning season, and was one OF
the most delightful that the club
has spent in some time. The house
was decorated in cut flowers, which
greatly added to the many charms
of all the surroundings. In one
room Finch was played and ip an
other quite number enjoyed the
scientific Whist. Four prizes we're
given. The Whist prize, beauti-
full silk fan, went to Miss Hazelle
Fl. Hardy. Miss Mary Turner was
the fortunate winner in Finch and
captured a pretty back comb, while
the consolation, lovely gold belt

land. After the game everyone who
had not received the other prizes
were instructed to write receipt
for house-cleaning. The judges,
the three other prize winners, gave
the prize to Miss Annie Lee Taylor
for having the best receipt. The
daintily tied package given her was
found to contain-a large cake OF
soap, In the place of tallies, Mrs.
Joyner gave every guest a pretty
little dust cap. The four who had
the corresponding colors played at
the same table. Candies were served
on the caid tables, and after the
game the guests we're ushered into
the pretty little dining room. This
room was darkened, being beauti-
fully decorated in flowers and light
ed with candles. The table was
covered in handsome Battenberg
pieces, and this, with the beautiful
cut glass and hand.painted china,
made lovely picture. Strawber-
ries, cream and cake in pretty col
ors were served. The afternoon
spent in this hospitable home was
one long to be remembered. Mrs.

subject of DISCRIMINATING the blue jay,

birds, which some claim are absolutely
worthless and a positive nuisance,
while others hold to the contrary.
Capt. Dawson's recital is too long for
publication in its entirety SO we will
make extracts from it. The captain
is volunteer weather observer and
crop reporter for the department of
agriculture, and his work has requir-
ed him to observe much that the small
birds do. In regard to the robin, our
correspondent says it is an American
bird, with American principles. Have
these persons making the cutlery

into consideration one of the principal
causes of the destructive actions OF
these birds, especially the robin? Last

not there then the BIRDS go after the

How the Blood Flow Affects Health

Few people appreciate the necessl-
ty of keeping the blood In every way
in good condition If they would have
good health.
There are two factors in disease,
which, by an endless variety of chan
ges and combinations define every
departure from normal conditions.
These are the BLOOD and the
NERVES. They sustain life, and
END it.
The blood must maintain a steady,
swift and equal flow or bad conse-
quences follow. Every organ and It's
sue must get its right share of blood
no more, no less. Stop it and the sys-
tenn Is soon poisoned with accumu-
lated body sewage. and lack OF prop
er nourishment sets up, headaches,
tired, worn out sensations, no life,
40 energy ans other kindred all
ments follow.
Right the blood flow, and they all
leave.
This is the Osteopathic theory. II
merely goes back to the beginning
OF disease. 1t finds most disease Is
associated with an abnormal blood
flew.
Especially during the fall and win
ter months Is it necessary to keep the
blood How right. Exercise of the
right sort is good stimulant for
circulation, but the dry hot air treat
ment, followed by the Osteopathic
treatments, which am giving with
such marked good results, Is the best
treatment yet discovered.
Why? Simply because they 20 to

MUNICIPAL ISSUE.

There can be but one issue in a
municipal campaign in which no
SPECIFIC question of economies is
raised, and in which officials are
seeking re-election-the record OF
these officials. This is the situation
in the counclmanic and aldermanic
fight in Paducah, and the men, whose
names appear on the ticket posted at
our masthead, stand pat on their rec
ords. The personnel of the opposing
ticket cannot figure in a logical, fair
thinking mind, unless that mind is
dissatisfied with the record made up
in the life of the present general
council. Newspapers of all parties in
the city have had nothing but enco-
miums and congratulations for the
two boards since their organization.
and yesterday and today their prais-
es were sung in the news and edijo-
rial columns of every paper in Padu-
cab. There is involved in this issue
more than the mere rewarding OF
the individual members of the gen.
eral council for faithful service.
More work than glory Is in an cleo
ton to a council board But citizens

they have secured a general council

1t is fortunate that all differences
between the delegates representing

settled amicably In the Ohio Valley
convention at Portsmouth. IL has
become the custom in America for
delegates to anything to consider
themselves as representing their own
little sections. and to strive in ever
way to secure their share of the ben
efits. regardless of the best interests
of all concerned. Having got their
share "of the swag," they can so
home to their constituents and say,
''see what We have brought you
But il is a simple matter of common
sense to begin the improvements at
the month of the Ohio river and go
up stream, and to begin at the
mouths of the Tennessee and Cum
berland rivers. The point is this:
Ii the improvements are made first
in the upper river, only that small

most good and where we may get the

Wet soil is not good for truck raising
The richer the soil the faster vege-

The potatoes from the second crop
