Women who bear children and re-

their systems in advance Of baby's

nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-

left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a

of what temper alone will do is
exemplified IN Christian county

sings of the Father of us all upon
his family which embraced a
dear wife and ten lovely chill
dren, he lay upon cot corpse
from a pistol shot at the hands
of his own fair daughter and his
son lay by his side with a wound
in his arm.
This family loved each other
and respected each other, but
one thing they had failed to do,
and that was to curb their temp.
er. One unthoughtedly spoken
word by the father at the dinner
table enraged the beautiful and
popular twenty year old daugh-
ter, which was taken up in an
instant by the irate father, and
this led from bad to worse until
the daughter had fired the fatal
shot, that lay her father q corpse
on the floor, aud her younger
brother accidentally wounded.
Hate for her father instantly
gave way and her shrieKs and
cries were pitiful, but it was too
late. The deed was done in
haste, but the girl was not alto
gether at fault. The father had
failed to subdue his temper, and
also had failed to subdue the
temper of his daughter at the
proper time.
This family is not reported to
be a family lurking in wicked
ness, but is credited as being u
family of leading social and NOR

The wooden trust, having
found that bayOnets would

week workers To- call off their

force the parents to return to

Here is how the trust is work.
ing It's new scheme:
Many charitable organizations
in cities adjacen, to Law renee,
where the strike is in progress,
after reading of the desperate
straits to which the strikers
children had been reduced, made
arrangements to have hundreds
of these children cared for in
private homes outside of Law
renee until the strike ended.
Under this plan, many children
were sent away, some to New
York and Boston, and some as
far away as Philadelphia.
With the knowledge that their
children were being cared for
tcnderly, the mothers and faith
ers back in Lawrence gained
courage to carry on the fight.
Freed from hearing their own
children crying for bread, the
strikers took renewed hope.
What happened? The trust

the little children were sent a.
way from Lawrence the strikers
could longer endure the struggle,
at once issued orders to the ser.

ton of children. They knew
that where bayonets, persecu.
ton, unlawful Imprisonment,
aud all other ordinary weapons
of big corporations in fighting
the unions might fail, there re.
manned one thing which the
strikeres could not long resist,
and that was; the cry of their
own children for food. These
milliOnaires knew that where
strong men and women could
suffer in silence themselves,
they could not long bear to see
their children suffer.
Accordingly, there was issued
an edict against sending the chill
dren away where they could OBJ
tain food. Immediately squad
Of state soldiers was sent to each
railroad station, and when the
strikers arrived with their chill
dren many of them were seized
and thrown into Jail.
Diabolicsl as this may seem it
actually is being done, not in
Russia, but right here in these
States.

The Need vi Courage

Most of our Powell county
people are lacking III what they
should be the strongest flour aim
is to build ourselves and our
county up INTO the world. That
is courage and sclf-rrliance.
When one of our men emigrates
to another county, they usually
take the lead in everything that
makes that county a tOp-EOtcher,
if such it be. When they get
there they don't pause to wonder
if 1t is best to do one thing or
another, but 20 to work with IA
vim and help to accomplish
things. They are not stingy with
their money if it is to build IA
church, school, road, or any other
public improvements. They 90
down INTO their pocket and dig
out the necessary cash. And IN
their system of farming or any
other line of business, they are
with the men that lead.
Why cannot Powell county
people Re SO progressive while
living in the county of their birth
is a mystery to the writer. We
must take courage, have faith
and go to work with IA vim that
will accomplish something both
for ourselves and our county.
We should remember that our
COUNTY need no longer be any
thing other than what we make
it. With scientific methods of
farming it is possible to improve
our land SO it will grow big crops
of corn, wheat, tobacco and etc.
We should study this proposition
and start to work in this direc-
ton this Spring. Start with
confidence and never cease to
persevere until some visible re.
suits appear. Let us grow crops
this year that will build up our
land as we'll rs grow a none
crop. Provide more grass TO
meadow and pasture, have NOR
stock to eat it. Start now I'd
raise everything possible on gu
farm, that can be grown there
that we will need to eat, and
provide something always to sci
to buy that which we must have
that cannot be produced on the
farm.
Then when we have time to
spare, let's put it in on our prem.
lses trying to beautify them, and
IN our roads along where we live.

Pinturicchio's Frescoes stolen.

theft of Pinturicchio's frescoes from
the Palazzo del Magnif1co, in Sienna.
They were soaked off, and secretly car.
ried away. With them disappears the
last of the treasures in the Palace of
Pandolfo Petrucci, which in it's de-
cline is still called "del Magnifico."
Built about 1905, it had a great hall
decorated with the mural paintings of
Girolamo Genga, Luca Signorelli and
Bernardino Pinturicchio One of the
paintings was Signorelli's Triumph Of
Chastity" another Pinturicchio's RE
turn of Ulysses to Penelope" and both,
transferred from the walls to canvas,
in 1874, were purchased at the Barker
sale in 1874 for the National gallery,
London. Two other paintings from
the walls by Genga are in the Accad-
emia di Belle Arti at Siena, and the
rest Of the contents have been scat
tered among the museums of Europe.

Economlzing Electricity.

According to the Scientific Ameri-
can of recent issue, a method of econ
omizing electrical energy employed for
domestic heating or cooking is to re-
ceive the energy continuously at low
rate in resistance apparatus which
transforms it into heat and then stores
the heat for use as needed In a new
electrical cooking apparatus operating
in this way the heating unit consum-
ing 500 watts total or 10000 watt
hours per day of "a hours, serves to
keep mass of cast iron hot enough
to cook food m ordinary utensils
placed In contact with it. The cast
iron block Is thermally insulated by
being inclosed in a surrounding wall OF
lampblack or powdered silica, and a
movable block Is arranged to be raised
above the main mass, so as to expose
its upper surface when cooking is to
be done. The small current consump-
ton, less than that of an electrical fiat
iron, enables the device to be oper-
ated on the ordinary electric light wir-
ing of the house.

Wireless Distress SIGNALS.

1t will be practically impossible in
the future for wireless distress signals
to go unheard, as was the case at the
time of the Titanic disaster Steps
were taken at the recent Radio-Tele-
graphic conference in London to pre-
vent this, and rule has been laid
down calling for almost constant at
tendance on the wireless apparatus
aboard ships. On vessels of the first
class the conference rule requires
permanent watch, which means that
two operators must be employed.
Ships of the second class, which en-
ploy only one operator, must provide
a watcher for the wireless apparatus
during the first ten minutes of each
hour. This provision will allow the
regular operator to have his rest I'm
broken while off duty, and will neces,
state the training CT some member OF
the crew to receive the distress signal
1t will be his duty to listen during the
ten minutes beginning each hour.

He is almost eighty-two years DID,
