Gov MCCrearv.

There is something out of the
ordinary both IN the man and
the occasion when the Inaugural
ton or a Governor is an exact re
production OF one that took place
almost four decades before 1t Is
made possible only among PEG
pie who do not forget and for q
public servant with whose stew
ardship no fault is to be found.
The new Governor McCreary
begins to-day his second Cerm.
He is neither a young nor an un-
tried man. He has back of him
a long life filled with pract al
experience He has with HIM the
abiding affection and unbroken
confidence OF the people where
his life has been spent. He has
before him as large an opportun
lty for great and lasting service
to that people as has ever fallen to
the lot of a Governor of the
Commonwealth.
Kentucky, in the past decade,
has fallen behind the newer
States In those essentials which
make for progress With many
OF the older States she has failed
to to keep step. The facts are
known to Kentucky's people.
They have awakened anew a pa
triotIsm that seemed dormant
and that has found its expression
in demand for the recognition
and realization OF the rights nee

A QUESTION OF PROTECTION.

That the health and longevity Of
many of the less hardy types of apple
trees are largely dependent upon the
way they are protected has been pref
ty plainly demonstrated in the case of
q Fameuse tree from which the writer
picked the fruit few days ago. The
tree in question stands on the north
side and about five feet from shed
which effectively protects its trunk
and lower limbs from the winter sun.
Not only has the tree made a prodi-
gious growth, but it is remarkably
thrifty and sound. Twenty feet to the
north of it, but exposed to the sun. is
another tree of the same variety
which has been badly hit with sun
scald and is already sick unto death.
We have watched these two trees for
a number of years and are convinced
that, while some other factors may
have played part, the difference in
their condition today is due to the
protection they have had. 1t is this
principle that makes many 0rchardists
in northern states favor the rather
close planting of apple trees In rows
north and south. This serves in a
measure to give the protection men-
toned.

should keep in mind on going into the
dry country west of meridian 100 de-

it would require all the apples which

about this boy-apple combination is
that it is just as good for the boy as
it is for the apple market. Five ap-

Brush land or wood soil is ideal for
growing potatoes This is due to the
mellowness of the soil resulting from
the large amount of humus it contains
and the usual freedom of the soil from
weed seeds. Where new land is not
available much the same condition can
be had on piece of newly plOwed pas
ture or ON a clover meadow the last
crop of which has been turned under
the preceding fall. In both of these
cases there will be a good supply OF
humuS and few weeds.

King Georges Linen

The Lord Steward of the househ old of King George of England has just affixed his signature to the inventory of the royal linen. The total value of the linen at Buckingham palace is place a about S40,000.
 The linen room Is on the third floor of the palace; the walls are lined with linen presses. Two presses contain nothing but tablecloths. another table napkins; in four others there are noth- ing but sheets, while vast piles of tow els. bedspreads, doylies, cushion covers bolster and pillow cases are stored in the remaining presses. Some table, cloths for use in the state dining room are over a hundred years old. The royal arms are woven In the center and at each corner.
 All the linen is given out by the chief linen maid as it is required and for each article she gives out she must re- ceive duplicate of it in return She has two assistants.
 The greater part of the laundry work for Buckingham palace is done under contract.

She Educated Mrs. Lydig's
 Shoulders

The great painter, Helleu, put Mrs. Phil Lydig, the Chicago beauty, upon a unique pedestal not long ago by declar- ing that she possessed g points out of possible 40 of feminine loveliness. Mrs. Lydig is known to have the most per- feet back in America. It takes up at least ten of the points of beauty and her shoulders take up another seven.
 Here one sees Cartola Valencia, a reigning Parisian beauty by way of old Spain, displaying the shoulders that taught Mrs. Lydig's to be beautiful.
 The Parisienne is proud of her should CTS and her back. They do not come of themselves, but are the result of effort. This effort consists not in using dumb bells or weights, but in a rapid fleXing of the muscles. Mrs. Lydig, meeting Mile. Valencia when her shoulders were not so beautiful, asked the Parisienne for her secret She learned 1t.
 Mrs. Lydg did as she was taught So she gained a back like the Valencia's. Almost every one has seen pictures of Mrs. Lydig's shoulders but 1t is the first time America has seen the shoulders that educated them.

Why Does Not the Stomach

What prevents tho gastric juice of tb. stomach from acting upon the wals of mat organ as 1t does upon all other ant maj tissue?

This exnIana. tioii' however, is no longer satisfacto,v it has been found by a German nby- sician, Dr. Katzenstein. that the ea astr;.
