nator of the Baby Flats" has an
other idea. A year ago he built his
flats to help check race suicide by
offering a months rent for each
baby born in the building. Now, to
increase the supply Of honeymoon
ers. he has decided to build the big
gest apartment building in the city,
in two sections, and to let apart
ments in one-half to bachelor maids,
rooms in the other section going to
bachelors of the male persuation.
Then tenants in the two sections
who are married, will receive a
months rent free.
The apartments, he says, will be
so designed that they can be used
for honeymooners in case the newly
weds do not see any advantage in
moving into one of the other flats
the Baby Flats" as they are
known.

KENTUCKYAT JAMESTOWN
Commission Begins Work For
Representation of State at
Big Exposition.

With the purpose of providing for
the proper representation of the
State at the jamestown Exposition
to be held in Norfolk, Va, April 26
to November 80, 1907, the Kentucky
jamestown Exposition Commission
has been organized and incorporat-
ed. Headquarters have been oper-
ed in the Commercial Building, Lou
isville. and campaign of exploita-
ton has commenced. 1t is the in
tention of the commission to make
the representation typical of the en-
tire State and replica of the fort
of Boonesboro has been agreed upon
as the Kentucky Building. Funds
TO the erection of the building and
collection and illustration of exhibits
will be raised by popular subscrip-
ton and the sum of $4,000 will be
required for the purpose.
The commission is composed of the
following members: j. Stoddard
Johnston, Louisville, President; Jno.
B. Atkinson. Darlington, Vice-Pres-
ident and Director of Finance; Chas.

State Building Construction; M. H..

ed more auspiciously. The Com
mission is the outgrowth of action
taken at the Fifth State Develop
ment Convention at Winchester, KY,
October 10 to IL. 1t was then de-
clared that the great Fair to be held
in Norfolk, Va. presents an excep-
tional opportunity for Kentucky
to make the products of her soil and
factories known to the populous
eastern section of the United States
and to foreign countries. The ex-
cellent showing made by Kentucky
at the Worlds Fair in st. Louis is
still fresh IN the memories of Ken
tuckeans and the benefit of this rep
resentation is now being felt and
seems to increase as time goes on.

Effect of Water Drinking.

To eat a hearty meal of even the
most wholesome of food and imme-
diately wash it all down with a glass
of ice water is foolhardy proceed
ing. Moderately cold. or even hot
water, or in fact. liquid of any kind
cannot be taken with impunity into
the stomach on top of a hearty meal.
Water, in order to have the most
desirable effect, should be taken on
an empty stomach, otherwise the
gastric fluid will be so diluted that
it cannot properly perform its func-
tons. Half an hour or an hour be-
fore breakfast, midway of meals,
and on retiring are the most approx
ed times. A quart or more during
the day will serve to keep the system
in good condition and will keep the
stomach, bowels and kidneys in
good working order, providing these
rules are rigidly adhered to.
Parents, however, while pursuing
course of treatment with themselves,
often fail to instill the same mode of
procedure into the minds of their
children. Let them early be taught,
both by precept and example, that
there are stated times when water
may BEAUTIFULLY be partaken of. and
that there are also times when large
draughts of water are very harmful.
1t cannot be too forcibly impressed
upon the young mind that ice cold
water should seldom, if ever be in
dulged in, and that inordinate
drinking of it'when very much heat

ly harmful, and may prove fatal.

CUTS OFF HANDS.
Sanford Englemen Builds Guill0-
tine or Farm, Then Pun
d iSheS Himself.
tI.ou'sville llerald.l

While laboring undera religious ex-
element. Sanford Engleman,a young
man living near Bryanville, four
teen miles northwest of New Albany
deliberately served his right hand
on an improvised gillotine, and when
asked why he had committed the act
quoted the Biblical Injunction: IF
thy right hand offend the, cut it
off and cast it from you" The hand
was amputated at the wrist. and in
, performing the operation yesterday
the young man exhibited great forti-
tude and ingenuity.
Going to secluded spot In the
woods mile from his home. young
Engleman prepared the gullo-
tine on which he had determined
to sever from his body the limb
which he believed offended him.
The guillotine was constructed with
a sharp ak and a sapling which grew
near a stump. After fastening the
AK to the sapling he attached to
limb heavy weight fastened from
the other side of tree near by. and
then attached wire to the cord so
that he could never serve it at the
larger tree from the position near
the stump, which he must occupy
when the amputation took place.
Two uprlghts were placed so as to
guide the ak in its descent. After
!. completing the guillotine the young
man went home, left the house os-
tensiby to go to the woods to work.
Reaching the guillotine. young
Engleman deliberately laid his arm
on the fiat surface of the top of the
stump and pulled the wire. which
released the weight, and the AK came
down with true aim, severing the
hand at the wrist. The young man
then APPLIED compress and walked

who dressed the wound. DR.. Dublin
expressed the belief that the young
man would survive the effects of the
amputation.
1t is said that for several weeks
young Engleman who is a religious
en- thusiast, has at times acted in a
strange manner but up to the time
of his strange act his friends had
not suspected that his mind was I'M
balanced.
A strange feature of the affair is
that the young man steadfastly refus-
es to tell what disposition he made
of the severed hand further than to
declare that he cast it from him,
and a thorough search of the vicinity
of the guillotine failed to locate it.
Young Engleman stated after he had
committed the strange act that he
had it contemplation for more than
a year. which is evidenced by the
ingenuity he displayed.

Dear to the heart Of the social re-
former is the idea Of an endowed

ton that need not work for it's living,
but, relieved from the grinding neces~
sity of making ends meet. is at liberty
to take an unenlightened public by
the hand and lead it in paths of
Righteousness. Commercialism, We
are told, fetters the press and pre-
vents its highest development as a
power for education and good morals.
1t is assumed that newspaper that
did not have to bother with such sor-
did details as circulation and adver-
tising could be more useful than one
conducted as a business enterprise.
Until some philanthropist makes the
experiment the question must stay
unsettled, and it might not be settled
even then. But one thought obtrudes
itself, paper published solely for
the mental and moral elevation Of it's
readers might if it had readers enough
and Of the right sort, be a. valuable
advertising medium. In that case it
would need no endowment to keep it
going. If, on the other hand, the en-
dowed paper did not compare favor
ably in interest and practical value
with its mercenary contemporaries
people would not read it and the
money spent on it would be wasted.

Care of the Skin.

The Importance Of the skin as an
organ is as a rule overlooked. It is
most often regarded as a kind of
protective covering and is frequent
ly abused because it is the seat Of
many annoying diseases. But the
skin is more than a mere protective
covering Of the body. 1t is an import
ant organ Of secretion and eycretion.
as we'll as being the organ that con-
tains the sense of touch Man is al
most the only one of Gods creatures
born without some natural covering
and protection for the skin. Cloth
ing is intended to take the place Of
this deficiency. It is a mistake to try
to endure cold weather without wear
ing sufficiently warm clothing. When
ever feeling Of cold or chilliness is
it is highly proper to put
on an extra garment without delay.
and it is folly to wait until the body
is chilled before taking the trouble to
make a change Of clothing. Children

oortionately warmly clad, and the
practice Of dressing children in win !

consider it as work at all. I regard
myself as the most lazy human be-
ing on earth. I have absolutely no
industry in me whatever, and to
make good as a senator one must
be in love with his job and be indus
trious. If a man is to succeed in any
occupation the work to him must be
a labor Of love. 1t has always been
so with me and my work, and I |

a body, is sadly lacking in humor,
and needed ivening up, Mr.. Twain
said, smilingly: ::
"Well, as Falstaff to the senate, l ,
guess could fill the bill and earn my

"But can't humorists be serious as

I take it that the senator does not

The senator avows he has friendly
