Garrard County's Representative Wins
Places OF Distinction In The Ailot-
nent OF Committees AT
Frankfort.

In the selection of his committees in
the Lower House of the General AS
sembly, Speaker Terril took splendid
care of Mr.. John NJ Farra, Garrard
county's representative in that body,
assigning him on seven important
committees, one of the most important
of which he was made the chairman
He was assigned to the following COM
mittees:-Fire Insurance, public roads
and highways, public bitches and
fences, railroads, revenue and taxa
ton, retrenchment and reform, re-
districting, congressional and the
state fair, Of the committee on public
roads aed highways, he was made
chairman. Mr.. Farra is peculiarly
well fitted for service on some of the
committees to which he was assigned,
the insurance committee and the COM
mittee on railroads, as he is we'll ac-
quainted with the details of the bust
ness with which he is to deal and is
conversant with the needs of the state
as regards these things. The commit
tee on revenue and taxation upon which
he was placed is one of the most i'm
portant of all the legislative commit
tees, having to do with the revenue of
the state, and will necessitate, in all
probabilities, suggestion for the chang
ing of the taxing system of the state.
Mr.. Terrill in his. assignment of his
committees was eminently fair, tax.

The Lexington Herald recently pub
lished strong editorial on the tuber-
culoSis question, plea for assistance
from the state in the effort to stamp
out the dread disease. In the article
is set forth the fact that the swine
breeders of the state will ask for aid
in Graduating hog cholera, the cattle
breeders for aid in Kidding the state of
cattle diseases and the sheep men for
an appropriation against scabies, and
finally, the people for aid in exterminat-
ing the White Plague.
Kentucky stands well along toward
the head of the list CT states in the
number of cases of this dread disease
within her confines annually. and while
other states make large appropriations
annually to aid in the effort to ex-
terminate, Kentucky as yet has failed
to lend assistance in the work. 1t is
true noble effort is being made to
check its scourges in our state, the
Kentucky Tuberculosis Society is
doing yeOman service in this regard.
sending out cars of instructions, and
making every effort in their power to
educate the people in the best mode of
living to avoid the disease, but they
are hampered in their work by lack of
funds, their only source of funds is
from private contributions, and we are
sorry to say these are woefully small
when we take into consideration the
great and noble work they are under
taking.
Surely the lives of human beings will
be placed above those of dumb animals
in valuation, and while we are heartily
in favor, provided it be consistent. of
appropriations for the stamping out of
all diseases among the various herds of
the state, yet we are of the opinion
that the first thing to be dealt with is
the disease which threatens the lives
of our people, and that if appropria-
tons along these lines are to be made
that the people should meet with the
first consideration. We are sincerely

Boys Corn Club For The County.

Hon. Barksdale Hamlet, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has mott
fled County Superintendent Jennie
Higgins that high grade of seed corn
will be furnished by the Commissioner
of Agriculture to all'boys of this county
who wish to enter into the ''boys corn
club" contest. Every boy in the county
producing as much as sixty bushels,
twelve barrels, to the acre will b. fur
nished with nice diploma sighed by
the Governor, the Commissioner of
Agriculture, the Superintendent of
Public instruction and the County
Superintendent. Miss Higgins wishes
that every boy in the county who de-
sires to enter into this contest will
send her his name at once in order that
she may know just how much seed
corn will be required for this county.
These ''boys corn clubs" have ex-
cited considerable friendly rivalry in
other counties in the state, they are
instructive and serve to teach the
farmer boys how to become successful
farmers, and the fostering of such an
idea by the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture is very commendable, and it is to
be hoped that good number of Gar
rard county boys will enter the con-
test, and will show to their neighbors
throughout the state that we can pro-
duce as good quality and as goodly a
quantity of corn to the acre as any
county in the state. Send in your name
boys to Miss Jennie Higgins, Lancas-
ter KY, and in due time you will be
given full instructions and provided
with seed corn to enter the contest.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
ruNbling sound or imperfect hearing,
anu when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition.

nine cases out Of ten are caused by

MEN OF WEIGHT.
Only Three of This Notable C'cver
Were Under 200 Pounds.


On Aug. 10. ITS. General Washing
ton and ten other officers of the Revo-
lutionary army were weighed at West
Point, n y. and the result is pre-
served in an item from the English
magazine Notes and Queries. Only
three of the eleven weighed less than
200 pounds. The heaviest was Colonel
Swift whose $40 pounds made him
lead the next, General Knox. at $50.
by thirty-uine pounds. but Knox was
only twenty eight years old.
Then follow Colonel Michael Jack
son. DO: Colonel Henry Jackson. 23S:
General Lincoln. then forty-tive years
old. o24: Lieutenant Colonel Hum
phreys. 221; Lieutenant Colonel Hun
tingtOn. 212.
General Washington, forty-six years
old. weighed 200 pounds and was fol
lowed at quite an interval by LieUtan-
ant Colonel Cobb and General Hun
tington, who weighed 1872 pounds each.
1t is amusing to note that the heavi-
est mans name was Swift and that OF
the lightest General Creation. who is
credited with 166 pounds. 1G3 less than
SwiftS record.
The total weight of the eleven. 24S5
pounds gives 226 pounds as the aver
age but Swift being omitted the other
ten averaged only cit pounds.
They were certainly men of weight
and substance and heavy team-if
we may compare them with a modern
football eleven-that might we'll chal-
lenge comparison also with our mod
ern military men.

With burst Of sobbing the little fell

A small crowd had gathered. and one
man turned to the older boy. saying:
"Shame on you! He is smaller than

lie nth and Beauty Answers
BY Mrs. Mae Martyn

NJ. de w: If you will shampoo oc-
casionally with plain canthrox you
will be delighted on how quickly your
dull, brittle, manageable hair will
become soft and lustrous. Just dissolve
a teaspccnful canthrox in a cup hot
water and your shampoo is ready. Rub
briskly as you pour little at a time
en- the head, and 1t will dissolve every
atom of dust, dandruff and excess oil.
Rinsing leaves hair and scalp immacu-
lately clean and the hair then dries
quickly and evenly.
Grace T: l would not advise TAX
ing patent medicines. Your worn
out" feeling and lack of appetite indi-
cate a sluggish, poison-laden condition
CT the blood, and the best and safest
thing of which I know is an old-fash-
toned kardene tonic, made by dissolv-
ing IL cupful sugar in u pint alcohol,
then adding one ounce kardene and hot
water TO make a quart. Take a table
spoonful before meals and in short
while the blood will be free from all
poisons. Nothing can take the place of
this simple kardene tonic as a body
builder and strength-giver fer youth
or old age.
Maude: 1t would be a shame to
hide the beauties of violet blue eyes
behind glasses, and l truly believe you
can avoid wearing them If you will
use this harmless, strengthening eye
tonic: Into pint of cold, clear water,
dissolve an ounce crystos, then put 2
or 3 drops in each eye daily This SIM
pie crystos tonic reduces Inflammation,
overcomes the watery condition, and
to weak, dull eyes, gives strength and
brilliancy. For removing foreign par
ticles and taking out soreness the crys-
tos eye-tonic is unsurpassed.
Mrs. T. S.: Cutting the hairs on
the cheek only encourages them to
grow thicker and heavier. Mix little
powdered delatone and water and
spread on hairy surface, then after
or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin
and it will be left smooth, firm and
hairless.
Tess: The nightly application of
pyroxin to eyebrows with finger-end
will encourage a thick, silken growth
Your stubby lashes can be made to
grow long and curly if you apply py-
roXin at lash-roots with thumb and
forefinger. Use care and don't get any
pyroxin where no hair is wanted.
