Pure Blood Is Essential to Good
Health.

DR.. A. =. 5tir, tine discoverer of
Osteopathy, stated many years ago,
that perfect circulation of blood con-
tanning the proper food elements for

essential for the maintenance of
health, and all researches along bac.
Pathological lines have proven witr

Perfect circulation is dependent
on normal structure. AS long as the
different parts of the human organ
ism are in proper relation to each
other, and We observe the laws of
Nature, the arteries and veins will be
unimpinged and the blood emulate
freely.
Pure blood is the best germicide
known. Germs and their i'll effects

The fifth session of the now ia
nous Pastors. Sunday School insti-
tute meets in Louisville, February
1922. Some of the finest talent in
America has been engaged. Those
who have attended the former ses-
sions know how high grade it is,oth-
ers can form no conception of it. Mr..

kind will take part on the program.
Never before has there been so much
interest in the Sunday school or in
the pastors work in the Sunday
school. The theological seminaries,
the UNCONVENTIONAL papers and de-
nominational meetings are all giving
vastly more attention to it than ever
before. This institute will be means
of unifying, amplifying and intensi-
flying these efforts. Every pastor in
the state who can possibly do so
should attend, All who, desire 1t will
be entertained. provided names are

The Glass Plant.

Mr.. Joseph l.. Friedman, President
Commercial Club, Paducah, KY.
Dear Sir: I am sending you data
regarding glass factory, and will
state at the outset, that the people
here are greatly pleased with their
proposition and those who have
been far thinkers in the past, say,
the people of Owensboro do not real
lie what very good industry it now
possesses. They are seriously think
ing Of getting another one that man

now before the citizens. The one here
now makes chimneys of all kinds. |
believe that you can gather from the
following what mad to be done to
secure this valuable factory. The
business men of greensboro bought
several acres Of ground and laid It
off into lots and sold 105 of them at
$3.50 each. This enabled them to
pay for the land and to give a bonus
Of $4,000 to the glass factory. The
factory mas been in operation since
last September and has shipped sew
eral cars of lamp chimneys and Ian
tern globes, and understand that
they have orders already booked to
run to their full capacity tho rest of
the season. They employ about ITO

people and their pay roll runs from
$1,000 to $4,000 a week. The glass
factory people seem well pleased
with the outlook and our people are
we'll pleased with their Investment.
One of the conditions upon which
this bonus of $4,000 and three
acres of ground, for the site. was
given that the glass factory is not to
receive a deed to the property until
they have paid out the sum of $780,
600 in wages. The plant cost about
100000. The outlook for the indus
try as see 1t is good and believe
the citizens of Paducah can make no
mistake in landing what 1 think

and trusting this will meet the ap-
prevail of Paducah's good people as
it has with mine, remain,

oLYNIPIAN GAMES
Used BY st. Paul As Subject for
Scriptural Lesson.

At the Broadway Methodist
church yesterday morning the Rev.
w. T. Boiling, D. D., spoke most elo-
quently on "The Race and the Wit
nesses" from Hebrews xiii. 1. 1t was
powerful sermon based on the
preparation made by the runners in
the ancient Olympic games for the
goal on which they had set their
eyes, and to attain which every sac
rifce was willingly made. Continu-
Ing st. PauPs application of it to the
church he enumerated the weights
which may so laden the Christian of
today and prevent his running well,
and urged the casting of all these
aside; also stressing the "sin
which doth so easily beset us" as the
'besetting sin" which each person
has, and which is known only to him
self often. In conclusion ne wildly
pictured the legions of heavenly wit
nesses watching the racers of today,
those who have run and won, and
have left their victories as a glorious
heritage anil example. A large con-
gregation was present and, also, at
night.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP FAILS.
Those who believe that the munic-
ipal ownership idea is an impGactic-
able one under present conditions of
society have repeated illustrations
furnished to them from the current
news items which the telegraph
brings from the different parts of the
United States. Once in a great while
the story is told of an experiment of
the kind which appears to be sue
eessful. But the reports of an oppo-
site nature seem to be increasingly
frequent.
The latest community to proclaim
the message of failure is the state
capital of Illinois. There a municipal
lighting plant was established a doz-
en- years ago. after a campaign of
hasty congratulations. More. batter
and cheaper light" was the slogan of
the Yictors. The experience of the
years is now summed up in the state
ment that the plant cost the city an
exorbitant price to start with, that it
has proved losing proposition
financially, despite number of fav-
ors never granted to private enter
prises, and that it is now antiquated
and worn out. No attention has been
given to the important matter of re-
pairs.
A franchise for a new lighting
company of private owners is now be-
ing considered for the benefit of the
city. 1t is the same story always.
The expense of the undertaking usu-
ally exceeds the original estimate on
which the arguments to the people
rest. What is everybody's business
soon becomes nobody's care. The
men in charge lack skill and business
sense. No provision is made for the
needful repairs and improvements
The plant goes to pieces, with i'll
feeling on every hand.
Private individuals have given
large amount of thought to the best
ways Of getting income out of out
lay. They make many experiments
at times before the right paths open
before them. They learn to Watch
all possible leakages. They save in
the small matters. They give up
machinery or methods that are un-
profitable or out Of date Then, after
long trial, they may find just the
right plan for winning success in
their enterprises from the mechanical
point Of view, and so lay the founda-
tons for financial success also.
The cases where municipal owner
ship has proved successful after
trial of years seem to be few when
compared with the constantly recur-
ring Instances where It has turned out
a decided Chicago Tribune

GRANT INCREASE
OF TEN PERCENT
Illinois Central Treats AMIGA
bly, With Enginemen
This System Is Dividing Line and
Agreement Is Effective in
the West.
FIVE MILLIONS ANNUALLY

John Trantham, Joe Pierce and
Joe A. Mccain, engineers on the
Louisville division of the Illinois Cen
trail, were instrumental in effecting
one of the biggest increases in wages
ever allowed employees by railroads
as body, and it will affect 400 en-
gineers on the Louisville, Nashville
G. Tennessee divisions of the Illinois
Central, meaning about 10 per
cent average raise taking both
freight and passenger engineers in a
body. The delegates from the Louis
vile division returned Saturday sat
isfied with the agreement, and the
following telegram from Chicago ex-
plains the agreement fully:
Chicago, Jan. 14.-After a series
of negotiations Which have lasted
daily through a period of several
weeks, western railroads decided. by
agreement fifth their men, to grant
increased wages to locomotive en-
gineers, aggregating between $5.-
100000 and s6,OOO,OOO annually
The increase will affect between 49,
900 and 100000 engineers on all the
railroads wese of Chicago to the Pa
cific coast, north of the Canadian
border an dsouth to the Gulf of Mex
leo The negotiations were carried
on between a committee headed by
chief w. S. Stone, of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and anoth-
er of general managers representing
all the railroads.
The advance in wages applies t.
all classes of engineers. On passeD-
ger locomotives the engineers will re-
ceive a five-cent increase on a 100
mile run. On freight engines the in
crease will range between eight and
twelve cents per 100 miles. In all the
larger freight yards, the switch en-
gineers, who receive the greatest ben
eft from the increases, viii receive
an addition of btween fifty and sew
enty-fve cents a day, with the assur-
ance that they shall not be kept out
more than twelve hours.
Apparently the spirit of compro-
mise governed the negotiations. for
the engineers have practically agreed
to give up their contention for an
day-that is an eight
hour day with respect to being cred
tied with a run of 100 miles; have
abandoned their increased demands
regarding pay for overtime and will
not insist on their original demand
with regard to sight competency of
The switch engineers de-
manded an allowance of time and
one-half for overtime in excess of
two hours. which was not granted.
This is the first time in railroad
history when the demands of a labor
organization have been made and
have been considered as a whole by
all the railroads in a large territory
The Illinois Central is taken as
the dividing line. and from the Hi
nois Central west the agreement is
effective.

sIDEWALKs AND SEWERS.

Sidewalks and sewers receive due
recognition by Mayor Yeiser. He Is
still urging the building Of sidewalks
out Broadway to the city limits. In
deed, it does look bad to see the
white concrete, give way to uneven
boiUk walks, and them IN turn dwih-
die into cinder paths, before the
street cars turn and whisk the
strangers gaze away from Paducah' S
shortcomings. Sewers, too, We must
have. Health is to be considered
above money" said the mayor, and
he evidently has some reference TO
sewer district No. 3. He is right,
generally speaking, but we fear that
in the third district the question OF
health is to encounter the question
of bread and butter and education, as
1t has no where else in the city Many
small home owners, are in debt, and
make just enough to live on besides
paying the interest. II would be a
sad spectacle If a man were compelled
to lose his home to pay sewer as
sessment. It would be sadder still if
it compelled his children to quit
school. Yet, the mayor is right,
health must come first. We must hit
upon a plan that viii eliminate the
downright hardship of the PROPOSE
tion and still secure the benefits of
the sewer.
Under the usual plan of making
one assessment, the contractor looks
TO each property owner for his indi-
vidual assessment, and tacks on about
rs per cent to his bid to cover the
expense and delay of collections. If
the money was on hand to pay him
as the work progressed the contrac-
tor would only bid with regard to the
actual work of building the sewer
and knock off the additional 25 per
cent.
The legislature enacted a law, for
no other purpose than that of reMev-
ing the burden on small property
owners and procuring the work done
at a minimum cost. This plan per-
mits a city to issue sewer bonds to
cover the cost of the work, and make
the assessment a lien on the proper
ty and payable in ten annual install
ments. In this way the assessment,
instead of being a heavy burden to
the property owner. is distributed
over ten years. and the cost is made
25 per cent less TO him.
Because a man is poor is no rea-
son why he does not need sewer con-
nections for his house. He is not
the only one interested. The whole
community is affected by the condi-
ton of his premises. It is worth
little to a man to have sewer connec-
tons in district No. l or 2, II an cpl
demic arises in some other section of
the city, where they have no sewers.
Sewers are needed all over Paducah,
but let us acquire them in a manner
that viii not discourage home buy
ing.
