-FOUR HUNDRED SICK
FOR EVERY BED
Startling Revelation of the Lack of
Accommodations For Con-
Sumptives.

Fifteen thousand beds and 600,-
600 patients, or 400 consumptives
for every bed, is a statement made
today by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis in its investigation as to
the need of beds for destitute con-
sumptives in the United States.
Gathering statistics from every
State In the country and from every
hospital In which any provision what
ever is made for tuberculosis pa
tents, it has been found that the to-
tai number of beds provided, both by
public and private resources, is less
than $4,000.
Over against these figures, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis has plac-
ed the fact that there are, according
to the estimate of the United States
Bureau of the Census, at least 600,-
600 living cases of tuberculosis in
this county and that at least 200,-
900 persons die from this disease

TRADE EARLY AND AT HOME


Christmas is only one day off.
Many have been sensible enough to
do their trading early but the larger
number will have to secure
their gifts tomorrow Come down
town early in the morning and take
home all your small bundles. Have
some consideration for the harassed
merchant and his over-worked clerks.
And above all else buy in Winches-
ter. You can get everything you
want here and you can get it at a
more reasonable price than you can
IN Lexington or elsewhere. Our home
merchants in all lines carry good
stocks. They help to pay our taxes;
they depend on US for their prosper
ity. Do not pass them by.
Some people are so constituted
that they think the out-of-town mer-
chant has better goods and that they
can get things cheaper away from
home. Neither proposition is correct.
Try the local merchant and see if
you cannot get what you want.

GOOD BUSINESS.

The present Christmas season
throughout the entire country has
been a far more prosperous one than
q year ago. The financial panic
Is thing of the past and the unrest
that always attends a presidential
election has given place to a calm
confidence that the country is now
entering on period of great pros
perity.
The settlement of the tobacco, trou-
bles In the Blue Grass has brought
to us promise of good times. : The
News published last week interviews
with number of our merchants.
They all stated that the December
trade was far better than that of De-
cember 1908. We have talked with
a number and nearly all say that the
year as whole has been better than
1907.
We understand that the L. & E.
proposes early In the spring to erect
the new depot the plans of, which
were drawn long ago. With this
evidence of renewed ease in the mon
ey market it will not be long until
that road will be extended Eastward
and open new markets for us and
bring new patrons to our local bus
mess men.
The year closes with things looking
bright for Winchester and Clark
county. The merchants are all hope
full and cheerful; the farmers will
soon have the tobacco money and
that will ease their troubles. We look
forward to an exceedingly good 1909.

COLORED COLUMN.

There will be Christmas tree at
Broadway Baptist church on Christ
mas night.
This church is nineteen years old
this month and they have issued in
vitations asking the people of Win
chester to give them a penny for each
year the church is old. The follow
ing verse is upon the card:
eve send this invitation with little
sack,
Please come to Broadway and bring
it back,
With as many pennies as the church
is years old
She is nineteen years this month we
are told.
We will accept this as our Xmas gift,
And also consider it quite a lift.
So come Sunday, December 81, 1908
Be sure not to forget or make a mis-
take.
Rev. R. French will preach.

CHRISTMAS GOOD FEELING.

The Santa Claus Association in
forms us that they have all the monl
ey they need and that on Friday
hey will make glad the hearts of
about $50 poor girls and boys of
Winchester who would otherwise not
have had the pleasure of visit from
Santa Claus.
This association is an informal
organization of ladies and gentle
men of the city who for almost ten
years have played Santa Claus to
the poor. In all that time they have
solicited no monev and have always
been sent enough to provide the nee
essary presents.
We talk of this as material age
And many lament that the fine feel
Sngs of Americans are blinded by
the scramble for wealth. But such
incidents as the Santa Claus Asso-
citation show that the ordinary man
rs full of the milk of human kindness,
that he thinks of the evil and mis-
fortune of the world and that he is
always ready to lend his unfortunate
brother hand.
And the sale of the Christmas
stamp is another evidence of the
Brotherhood of man. These little
stickers are being bought by the mil
Hons fbro,1Ohout Apoar;oo N, ordar
that the fight against "the great white
plague" tuberculosis, may be sue
scessfully waged in the interests of
humanity. Put a Christmas sticker
en every present you send this year
and on every Christmas and New
Year letter you write. The little
contribution will make you feel better
and may perhaps remind another
that he should also aid the good
cause.

That Striking Fact.

The most striking fact emphasized
by the investigation is that, while
the lack of beds for all classes of
consumptives is so manifest through
out the country, the number of beds
needed for advanced cases is far
greater than the number needed for
all the other stages put together. Of
the $4,000 beds at present available
for all classes of consumptives, less
than 5000 are for advanced cases.
Computing that there are at least
100000 living cases in the advanced
stages of tuberculosis in the United
States at the present time, the need
for large number of additional beds
for this most deserving class is evil
dent

STRICKEN EDITOR IMPROVING.

CARLISLE, KY, Dec. 23.-Col.
John w. Powling, editor of the Mich
olas Advocate and one of the most
prominent newspaper men in this Sec
ton of the State, who is thought to
have sustained a slight stroke of pa
ralysis at his office in this city, is
now very much improved and able to
again be at his office. Although his
friends feared he had sustained a
slight stroke they for a time hoped he
had not, but inasmuch as he has par

Need For Accommodation.

The need for accommodation for
advanced cases is further emphasiz-
ed by the fact that every expert and
specialist has agreed on this con-
clusion, that consumption will never
be eradicated until the advanced
cases of the disease are isolated,
either in their homes or In institu-
tons. DR.. Kock says, "Every case
of tuberculosis should be isolated as
long as bacilli are there"
1t is not difficult, the National As
ISOLATION affirms, to cure consump-
tien in its early stages, but it is i'm
possible to effect "a cure in the latter
stages of the disease, and, conse-
quently, these cases should be re-
moved or isolated In their homes in
order to prevent the infection of per-
sons living with them. But they can
not be removed or. isolated unless
hospitals are provided for that pur-
pose; and with this end in view, a
campaign to secure more accommo-
dations for advanced cases Of tu-
berculosis is being carried on all over
the country. When enough beds are
provided, it is estimated that the
death-rate from consumption will be
cut in half and there will be an an
nual saving to the country of 1OO,-
600 lives.

SPEAKING
Self Possession Most
Important Factor.

The ability to speak in public is a
special gift, but some semblance of
success may be attained by those not
naturally endowed A thorough
knowledge of ones subject is a great
help, and it is always better for a
beginner to read than to try to speak
from memory. At the same time one
should be familiar enough with the
written words to be able to raise the
eyes now and then without losing the
thread of the discourse. After hav-
ing faced an audience several times
with a reading, one is generally able
to make a speech, previously pre-
pared and committed to memory; but
even when one has acquired this abil-
ity it is well always to have at hand
a few notes as guiding posts.
Gestures should not be attempted
by the woman speaker, unless she be
perfectly sure of herself, for awk-
ward movements of the hands and
arms have spoiled many an otherwise
effective address. The nervous wonl-
an by all means should make an eff
fort to keep her hands quiet, as they
