ticipating his birthday in September by
using the age at which he would have

had reached the age at which all the
tables used in calculating premiums
ended, and it was ready to pay the
face of the policy, with the last years

ecuted and the company paid the mon
ey to him, remarking that it was the
first experience of the kind in its 90

they volunteer to test" it. Their
test consists in mixing the baking
powder given them with water. If
pure it effervesces quickly. The BAL
ing powder which they peddlc being
similarly mixed, fOams up slowly lik .
yeast, standing, perhaps. over the top
of the glass. This they claim is evi-
dence of superiority, whereas it is the
exhibition of trick only, their baking
powder having been especially prcpa:-
ed to make this test by the addition of
flour, gum or albumen. 1t is sure cyi-
dencc of aduteration. OF course. the
object of these fraudulent tricks is to
destroy confidence in pure cream o.
tartar baking powders, and to sell tn
cheap alum brands for which the ped
dlers are travelling and which cannot
be disposed of by legitimate methods.

KENTUCKY NEWS NOTES.

Army worms have made their APP
pearance in Christian county and are
doing serious damage to corn and
wheat, although the farmers are re-
sorting to every measure to extermi-
nate them.
AS a result of wager, a boy I'M
der age purchased beer in five sa-
looms In Greensboro and warrants
were issued for the saloonkeepers, but
were dismissed by the Judge who did
not approve of wagers ON such mat
ters.
The report made public by Insur-
ance Commissioner Henry Prewitt
SHOWS that during the last year the
total losses by fire paid in Kentucky
were $1,57S, 1884, while the compa-
MES collected in premiums $4,11S,-
4Sl, 90.
The monthly crop report of Com
missioner of Agriculture Vreeland
says: "The unprecedentedly cold
wealth of April caused the corn planted
in March to make a complete failure.
Forward wheat was materially in
jured."
AS the result of a crap game raid
at Newport a number of prominent
citizens, many of whom claimed to be.
spectators only. were placed under ar
rest. The Jailer was one and exper-
fenced the sensation of being a pris-
oner in his own institution.
Development work in the Kentucky
oil fields shows an increase during the
last week in several districts, with
several good strikes in Wayne county
and increased drilling in Clinton.
Large leases are being taken in Nc
Lean county by syndicate.
Fire Marshal Ayres report: The
total number OF fires taking place
in all parts of Kentucky from June 8,
1906, to January i, 1907 was $50. The
total loss by fire in Kentucky during
this period was $597,S96. The total
insurance on these losses was $379,-
