CAR CREWS
To Run Only to Massachusetts Line
for the Future-CentraI Village and
West Thompson the Terminals.

Beginning this (Tuesday) morning,
the crews on the Putnam lines of the
Connecticut company will cease to run
the cars into Massachusetts as far as
Webster as heretofore. To comply
with Massachusetts legislation. the
plan inaugurated this morning is
brought about and hereafter the Con-
necticut crews will finish their north
bound run at West Thompson, where
the cars are to pass, instead of at
Coomer's Switch, and where the Mas
sachusetts crews will take charge and
run the cars into Webster. Only the
crews will change. AS far as the pat
rons of the road are concerned they
will be absolutely unaffected by the
new plan. The cars will run on ex-
actly the same time and under ex-
actly the same conditions excepting as
above noted. The system adopted to-
day has been expected for several
months and the switch to be used at
West Thompson was built last fall
to permit the arrangement now in
effect. The run of the Putnam line
crews will now be between Central
Village and West Thompson.

Are You Wise or URWiSe?

Many an unwise parent works
hard and lives sparingly all his
life for the purpose of giving his
children a good start in the world,
as it is called. Starting Young
man out with money left by his
relatives is like tying a bladder
under the arm of one who can not
swim. Ten to one he loses the
bladder and goes to the bottom,
Teach him to swim and he won't
need the bladder. Give your
child a good education. See that
his morals are pure, his mind cul
tivated and his whole nature sub
servient to the laws that govern
man, and ycu will give what will
be of more value than the Indies.

SCARCITY Of BACON.
The Secret of the Matter is One
Hog Going To Market While
Two Are Urgently Needed.

A Chicago butcher in quest of
light bacon on which his trade in
sists, visited every wholesale es-
adjustment in Packingtown the
other day to find that none was
available. Light pork loins, the
kind the public clamors for, are
equally scarce. Packers have
changed theil methods of cutting
hogs radically, with the object of
getting as much fresh meat as pos
sible and putting as little product
away in cellars. Consumers want
fresh lean pork and light bacon;
feeding and market conditions have
conspired to make the lard hog
popular with growers. There has
been a wOeful scarcity of pork
loins all summer from the Atlaatic
to the Pacific.
A trade expert remarked recent
ly that a million more hogs during
the past eight months would not
have deprecated values more than
80 cents per cwt., meaning that
not only the price to the consumer
but the inability of the retailer to
secure the proper package has
greatly diminished pork eating. A
loin that cuts three chops to the
pound is promptly rejected and
when the bacon eater cannot get
the package he wants, he either
buys something else or eliminates
that such meat from his dietary.
Indicative of how hogs have
been held to put on weight is the
recent arrival at Chicago of a load
43S-pound Tamworths. They we're
16 months old and their belated
appearance was an obvious use of
overstaying the market. Last
March they could have realized Sill;
at this stage they had difficulty ia
getting IS. In bacon form the
Tamworth is desirable hog, but
in "horsey" condition killers do
not want it.
The open secret of the matter is
that the trade is rapidly getting
into a condition where one hog is
coming to market while two are
urgently needed. There are none
too many heavy hogs and a woe
full deficiency of light stuff, but as
long as prices warrant weight-mak-
ing, no relief is possible, as the
American bacon curer depends
wholly on the surplus, marketed at
deficient weight, for his supply of
raw material.

.NEtDfUL KNOWLEDGE.
Mt. Sterling People Should Learn
to Detect the Approach of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they
leave no ground for doubt. Sick
kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy,
offensive urine, full of sediment.
irregular of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding. The back
aches constantly, headaches and
dizzy spells may occur and the
victim IS often weighed down by Il
feeling of languOr and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there
is danger of dropsy, Bright's
disease or diabetes. Any one of
these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at
once. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's
Mt. Sterling proof:
X. NJ. Freeland, 169 w. High
ST., Mt. Sterling, KY, says:
Driving affected my kidneys and
