RFD-HfADfD FAMILY
As Described By One of the Cau-
dill Twins of Rowan County.

OF all the red-headed families we
ever heard of this Caudill family
ecIipses them all.
There are fifteen children in the
family, ten of them boys, every
one of them are living, all red
headed, in perfect health, and
never saw sick day in their lives.
They are all over twenty-one years
of age, the youngest being twenty
one and the oldest forty-two.
Their father and mother are both
living and in perfect health. Their
ages are sixty-fve and sixty years
respectively.
There are two sets of twins in
the family. One set of boy twins
married twin sisters, both of whom
are red-headed. They met the
sisters at the same time, fell in love
at the same time, proposed at the
same time and married under one
ceremony. For years they could
hardly tell their wives apart, as
both looked almost exactly alike.
They each have three red-headed
children, their first child being
born just three days apart. The
children couldn't tell their mothers
apart until they were over two
years old. There is only eleven
months difference in the ages of
the two sets of twins. Neither
twin brother ever saw the other
one sick. The hair of the twin
sisters comes to their knees. They
are cousins of Judge Amos Davis.
The twin brothers have been in
the general merchandise business
in Camel City ever since their
marriage fourteen years ago. All
four of them have always lived in
the same house and never had a
cross word.
Every year they have a big fam
lily reunion. This year makes the
seventh and will take place in
Moreuead sometime in August.
In 1907 nine brothers went to
Jamestown, the twin brothers tax
ing their wives. They were pho
tographed everywhere they went
and the newspapers were full of
their pictures and history. la 1909
four brothers, including twins and
their wives, made a similar trip to
Seattle, Washington.
All ten brothers look almost ex-
actly alike. Six of them gradu-
ated at Valparaiso University in
Indiana, where the professors
couldn't tell one from the other.
Rowan county is their original
home and they all still live in that
county and Morgan, except one,
who is lawyer, and lives in Okla
hOma. There are two lawyers in
the family. Nine of the brothers
organized the Peoples Bank of
Morehead and still own over two
thirds of the stock. Seven broth
ers and father own a controlling
interest in a new wholesale hard
ware house just completed at
Morehead. They opened for bus
mess on July 1st. and the concern
is known as the Morehead Hard
ware Company.
Father and neither of the ten
brothers never scratched the DEM
Ocratic ticket, consequently never
received any Roosevelt prizes.
This story is guaranteed to be
exactly correct by one of the twin
brothers. If anyone can beat it
we would be pleased to hear from
them.

TIMELY WARNING.
Man Must Kill the Fly Or the Fly
viii Kill The Man.


the State many people have failed
to heed the numerous warnings
that have been issued against flies.
Attention has been called to the
fact that they are one of the most
dangerous menaces to life and
health with which mankind has to
contend, being responsible for
large proportion of all cases of
typhoid fever and diarrhoeal dis
eases of infants and many cases of
tuberculosis and other contagious
diseases.
They have caused thousands of
deaths in Kentucky and will con-
tinue their work of destruction
y until housekeepers awaken to the
fact and inaugurate warfare that
will result in their determination.
This can be accomplished defin-
itely and effectively. 1t requires
only the removal of filth. Flies
breed in filth and in filth alone.
Without filth there can be no flies.
~ More than 800 of them breed in
stable manure and the balance in
garbage, outhouses and other
forms of refuse.
The fly season is at h n d.
Prompt action at this time may
prevent many deaths during the
summer and fall and a grave re-
sponsibility rests upon all health
officers and other citizens.
An immediate and thorough
cleaning of premises should be
effected and further accumulations
of filth avoided. Stable manure
should be kept in vaults or boxes
screened or covered or frequently
sprinkled with lime or kerosene
and should be removed at least
once week.
Garbage receptacles should be
carefully covered and the contents
sprinkled with unslaked lime or
oil. Privy vaults should be made
fy-proof and their contents fire.
quently sprinkled with lime.
In addition to the measures for
the prevention of the breeding of
flies every effort should be made
to prevent them from entering the
house or having access to milk or
other foods.
All doors and windows especially
those of the kitchen and dining
} room should be screened.
Food exposed for sale should be
screened and an ordinance to this
effect should be enacted and en-
forced.
Flies should be especially kept
away from the sick and if one is
discovered in the sick room it
should be killed. Excreta and
urine from the sick should be
covered with fresh lime for an
= hour and then buried.
People who have cleaned their
own premises should demand that
: their neighbors should do like
wise and notify the Board of
Health of any failures or refusals.
1t is important to remember that
no house is safe unless every other
one for mile around is clean.
This applies especially to tenant
houses and negro quarters. The
saving of life and suffering will
amply repay for all the trouble
and expense. the State
