Individual Cups.

The Norfolk & Western Railroad
Company will install individual drink
irg cups on all its regular passenger
car equipment this summer. Contracts
with a New York cup concern were
signed several days ago
The Norfolk & Western road will
use automatic vendors for dispensing
the cups. These small nickel-plated
devices are placed at one side Of the
water coolers. In each of them is
nested 100 or more dainty white par
afiine cups. The cups once drawn
forth and used cannot be replaced;
trey must be discarded or carried
away. They are in the exact form
of drinking glass, but are stiffened
by a coat Of paraffine. The cups
are manufactured by a semi-automat-
ic process and are absolutely sanitary
when they reach the lips of the
drinker.
The Norfolk & Western will be the
first road in the states through
which it runs to supply individual
drinking cups to its passengers, al.
though the Baltimore & Ohio is said
to be contemplating the move.
Several large railroads in the north
east are furnishing drinking cups
This move follows the action of the
conference OF the state and provincial
boards of health in Washington last
month. recommending all railroads t
abolish the dangerous common cups

Rheumatic
Pains

"My mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royce6eld, N. J.
The pains Of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence Of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.

the tearing down of the court house,
that this secret tunnel was built for
the purpose of storing the records in
case the city was attacked by Indians
or marauders, as the country around
Frankfort in those days was fall of
Indians and outlaws.
The city records show that the old
court house clock was bought in
Philadelphia in 1888, being hauled
from Philadelphia to Pittsburg and
shipped to Maysville by boat and then
hauled from Maysyille to this city
by wagon. There were no railroads
in the West in those days, The total
cost of the clock was S4Oe, and was
probably the first town clock in the
state of Kentucky.
