CamphOr For Colds.

An excellent remedy for colds
is said to be the inhalation of
camphor. Put teaspoonful Of
powered camphor in a jug of boil-
ing water and inhale the steam
through the nose for five or ten
minutes at time. Repeat every
four hours. You should keep in
the house during the treatment
and avoid going from one tempera-
ture to another. A cold hall is as
bad as cold out-of-doors. You
would not think of going out-of-
doors bareheaded and without wraps
Standing unprotected in such a
hall to dismiss friend or give di-
rections to servant is cause
enough for pneumonia. A few drops
of spirits of camphor on a lump Of
sugar viii help the treatment.
French physicians regard camphor
as almost universal remedy.
And don't sit on a cold stone
unless you are anxious to have a
large cold stone, suitably engrav-
ed, set upon you.

JAMES FRANCIS O'DONNELL
Played TO an AppTeClatiYG Audience in
Louisa Friday Night,

Before one OF the largest audi
ences of the season Mr., James Fran
ees o'Donnell. the famous mono
logue actor appeared on Monday ey-
enlng last In his great success,
The Sign Of the Cross" He had
come TO us preceded by the praise
and high encomiums Of the press
in all parts of the country and
our people had naturally expected
a performance quite above the or
binary They were not aisapPoiRt-
ed We very much doubt II a fin
er piece OF acting was ever seen
in this city Nothing so good has
been seen here since the Masonic
Han was built, and 1t has stood
nearly half a century. In The Sign
OF the Cross Mr.. O'Donnell success
fully essays the portrayal of eigh-
teen characters, with as wide a
range OF feeling, emotion, sentiment
and action as it is possible to
conceive, and it seemed utterly i'm
possible to be even tolerably sue
cesssul in such an undertaking. But
without music, without suitable cos
tune, with 10 scenery or stage eff
fects, Mr. o'Donnell, with n fine
conception OF every character pre-
sented, became the embodiment,as
II were, OF the entire dramatis
personnae OF the splendid play and
SO brought II before his delight
| ed audience that the whole won
derful story was made so clear that
even the youngest of the deeply at
tentive children present understood
1t all, The wonderful voice of Mr..
0'Donnell is used most effectively
In this. play, is in fact, his greatest
aid The childish treble Of the boy,
Stephanus; the strident belloiwngs
OF the spies; the sweet notes OF
Mereia; the mellow chest tones OF
Marcus Superbus; the weak voice
of aged Fayius; the roaring OF
Nero, and the wine-thiokened utter.
ances OF Glabrio-all these found
true expression when voiced by
Mr.. ODonnellA this to his ges-
lures which indeed"suited the action
to the word" and facial expression
which all but spoke, and you have
James Frances O'Donnell in "The
Sign OF the Cross, From first to
last 1t was most profoundly in
terested audience. 1t seemed to
hang upon the actors words, care
full not to lose a syllable. Each
act brought round of applause
greatest when the splendid pro
duction came to close.
With the appearance of Mr.. o.
Donnell the Course OF Entertain
ment came to close. Each ol
the five numbers was excellent
but In giving The Sign Of the Cross
many think the best OF the feast
had been reserved for the last. Mrs

Mrs. Burnam Roberts and three
children returned Monday after a

big country about two years ago
and settled upon a piece OF ,ae
public domain, They did not sell
their farm near this place, and Mrs.
Roberts has come back to the old
home in time for crop. 1t is said
that Mr.. Roberts will take up an
other claim, and that when the IL
tie is perfected all the family will

farmers INSTITUTE.
State Meeting at Mt. Sterling as Seen
| by Local Man.

Kentucky State Farmers Insti-
tute held at Mt. Sterling, Febru-
airy 23rd TO 25th inclusively, was
the most successful as well as
beneficial to Kentucky's interests
of any of the five former institutes,
The program of this three days
meetings is too lengthy to be notic-
ed in full through the columns CT
the News and must be abbreviated.
First your delegate from Lawrence
will notice the talks tlat were made
and the papers read by the ladies.
An address by Mrs. Martin, Of Lou
isville, on Domestic Science, was
very interesting and instructive and
deserves a full space not only in
the columns of the News, but In
every other publication in Kentucky
and should be read by all.
Miss Aubyn Chinn, of State Uni,
versity, made most excellent lee
ture on Domestic Science ant
Home Economics. 1t is to be re-
gertted that so few of Kentucky's
houskeeepers and cooks we're pres
ent, not only to hear, but to put
her words into practice,
Soil Physics, by Prof. ]. G. Mois,
er, of the State University, of Iii

interest by the largest audience
that was ever assembled at State
Farmers Institute in Kentucky. AL

of our fertility as in the past mus
be arrested and its conservation
be put into operation in all parts
of our State.
Prof. p. G. Holden, of the Uni
versity of Iowa, next lectured 0I
Corn Breeding. 1t Is useless L
say here that Prof. Holden ha!
done more for the people of thu
United States by his work in thi
line than any other man. and 1
the farmers of Kentucky would onl,
act on his advice there is u,
doubt whatever that the corn crol
of Kentucky would be increaset
from state total of 104 million
bushels in 1910 to total in 1911
Of 1875 million bushels, and from
an average of 2S bushels per acre
