A paragraph which is going the
rounds of the press states that "a
movement is on foot by the National
Guard Association of the United states
to have bill introduced in Congress
permitting officers of the National
Guard who desire to add to their prac-
teal military knowledge to serve in the
army one year as additional second
li-uterants This would not interfere
in any way with the promotion of reg
ular officers, while the Nationa! Guard
officers who might desire To serve in
the army would gain d valuable kn"WI-
edge It is also proposed 70 pay the
additional second litutenaEtS tn" same
pay as u cond leutenants of the army"

learned at Ia" Office of the adjutant
general that at the meeting Of the

THE CORN CROP
hll Be Greatly Increased Ac,
eOrdlug to The Following
Statements.

Commissioner Rankin, the head Of
tie Agricultural Department believes
that II the farmers OF Kentucky viii
plant the select seed corn that the
crop Of corn in Kentucky will be
increased on an average OF one third
End that in the majority of cases
u win be increased one-half and
and in mnay cases the crop will
Be doubled. He is having analysed
At the experiment Station two ears
Of corn mad the one that is report
Cd 70 contain the greatest amount
Of potein Is the seed that he will
recommend to farmers TO buy.
This will be taken up and fully
discussed at the meeting of tho State
Farmers Institute at Elizabethtown
tbi month. AS corn Is raised how,
Il Is an exceedingly improbable bus,
iuess for the average yield to The
acre In Kentucky is 27 bushels, which
!. which would sell II put on the mar
vet now, for Just about sl4 and that
ts Just what It costs 10 raise II.
Now II Commissioner Rankin Is cor
rect when he says that by planting
ing the proper seed corn the crop
n Kentucky Is increased one-third,
ose-half and in some cases doubled
then Just the amount OF corn that
y raised in excess of the amount
raised now is the profit. There IS
n question about the ability OF
tie farmer OF Kentucky 10 increase
the yield Of his crop by seeking the
advice OF the Commissioner OF Agri-
I chiture.
Commissioner Rankin has far too
Olany letters on file in his office to
shoS what has been done by the
farmers throughout the State, even
though the experiments have not
been conducted under the most ia
Vurable circumstances for as every
farmer knows last year was IN ox-
cttdlngly poor year on corn as well
NJ other crops.
Commissioner Rankin says that
Re has an old friend in Magorfin
e,unty whom he sent a bushel Of
e seed corn that he would recon-
lend, and the yield was much larg-
e than the average crop in the
Hountains that the report OF the
corn field become noIsed around,
and Il was visited by people from
AL over the mountains, and every
blshel of cora raised in the field
uill be sold this year for seed corn,

Schools for TubercuIous Children.

Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established In
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington. Hartford, Conn, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, d. G,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark,
N. J.
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment OF
children In special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience OF
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

Couplet That Lacked Something OF
the Divine Fire, But Strikingly
Original.

The ten-year-old daughter of an art
ist believes that she is destined to fill
a great place in literature, and all her
spare moments are devoted to writing
poetry about every conceivable sub
ject, according to the San Francisco
Wasp. Recently she attended her
first chruch wedding, and SO filled with
inspiration was she that she imme.
diately began to write poem descrip-
tive of the event A few days after
ward, when her mother was entertain
ing friends, the youthful prodigy asked
permission to read her poem before
the guests. Her mother humored hel
with not little secret pride. Stanza
by stanza the poem progressed until
the young lady reached the point
where the description of the brides
maids was set forth. There one OF
her couplets read thus:
Some had pug noses and some had
Roman,
And each wore a blue ribbon about
her abdomen.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates

Coffee is such a secret worker that
It is not suspected as the cause OF sick
ness or disease, but there is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using 1t for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
It discontinued with instructions TO
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: 1--WE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
" paid hundred times the amount
of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead OF eof'
fee was begun about a year ago, ana
It has made my husband strong, well
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
In that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.
"The first time prepared 1t ! did
not boil It long enough and he said
there was something wrong with 1t.
Sure enough 1t did taste very fiat, but
the next morning | followed directions
carefully, boiling 1t for fifteen minutes,
and he remarked this is better than
any Of the old coffee
"We use Postum regularly and never
tire Of telling our friends Of the bene-
at we have received from leaving on
coffee"
