There is no worthier charity in
Louisville than st. Anthony's Hos

charitable lines by the Sisters of
st. Francis, it has found warm
place in the hearts of Louisville
people. 1t was built on a command
ing and magnificent site at Barret
avenue and Wickliffe streets about
nine years ago. Every brick and
stone in it was paid for by charity

More than 1000 patients are
cared for annually. Some of them
are able to pay for their nursing,
medical attention and food. Some
are only able to pay part, and
during the past year more than 400
were utterly unable to pay anything
They received the same care and
considerate treatment as those who
were able to pay.
Neither is any distinction made
on account of nationality or creed.
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and
Catholics, Americans, Germans,
Irish, French and other races re-
ceived the same kind nursing. IL
is devoutly to be wished that the
attendance this year will eclipse
that of any former year, thereby
bringing on their benefactors the
prayers and blessings of the good
Sisters of st. Francis.
The Ladies' Sewing Society is
composed of many of the best known
Catholic ladies in Louisville. They
hail from various parishes. Their
work is hard, but they go about it
with a will that always brings sue

After a days shopping. the surpris-
ed farmers figured out that Uncle
Sans recent reports are correct and
that the farmer gets only 46 cents out
OF every dollar which the consumer
pays for food.
Where do you suppose that other

bought the chicken.
"MiddIemen," answered ]. w. KEEL

They don't do anything but distribute
what we raise, but they get more out

Reciprocity Is
Assured Today
SIXTY OF 81 SENATORS WILL
VOTE FOR BILL.
PARTY LINES ARE EFFACED
Democrats and Regular Republicans
Support President, With the Most
of the Insurgents in Opposition.

Washington, July 21.-The most bit
ter fight for legislation wased by any
administra ton in many years will close
tomorrow when the Canadian reci-
procity bill, an issue before two ses-
sions of congress, will be passed by
the senate by a decisive vote.
Sixty Senators to Vote Yea.
That at least sixty senators out of
total membership of 81 will vote in
favor of the measure was predicted to-
night by senators of both political
parties. This vote will include all but
four or five of the democrats, and will
include also a great proportion of the
so-called "stalwart" republicans.
Insurgents Will Vote Nay.
Opposed to the bill will be a ma
jority of the republican insurgents who
come from northwestern states, few
of the republican regulars and hand
full of democrats.
Won't Reach House Today.
For time today the senate leaders
hoped they might get the bill to the
president before he leaves for Beverly
tomorrow, but a visit by Senators Pen
rose and Crane to Speaker Clark Of
the house soon dispelled this expecta-
ton. The speaker explained it would
be Impossible to hold the house in ses-
sion long enough to receive the meas

1t is not expected that the senate
session tomorrow will be greatly pro-
longed. but the house, having little to
do. rarely has quorum these days.
That sbeing likely tomorrow as the
speaker pointed out, it was agreed that
the plan was impracticable. AS the
house will adjourn from tomorrow un-
til next Wednesday, the bill cannot be
received until the latter date.
Party Lines Effaced on Bill.
The measure has not been and un-
doubtedly will not be, changed in any
respect by the senate, and when it Is
signed by the speaker and the vice
president it will be despatched to the
president. Party lines have disappeaF-
ed during the consideration of the bill.
Bill Never in Danger.
Tariff Affiliations to outward appear
ances have been completely changed.
The president has had the general sup
port of the democrats and of the re-
publican regulars; and by this union
of forces the bill has never been IN
danger of defeat or serious amendment
