WE CARE LEAST FOR SELVES
More Attention Is Given to Proper
Running Of the Watch Than
the Heart

When YOU find that your watch is
losing a minute a day you hasten to
nave it regulated. II your horse goes
lame or yonr dog sick you seek a
remedy at once.
If your friend has a fault YOU see
it and want it corrected.
But, somehow or other, you treat
yourself very differently.
The one thing precious above all
others to you, that you are especial
~ charged 10 keep in repair-your-
self-you treat with greater indiffer-
ence than you do your dog.
You Go habitually a thousand
things that YOU know injure your
health. and that YOU would not per-
init your dog to do. and you do not
care.
If Won find your pulse is losing a
heat or two a minute, the fact does
not worry you half as much as does
the loss of second or two by your
watch.
Once a week, at least, you compare
your watch with a chronometer to
know that it is right. But you never
compare your pulse with anything.
Why? Because you don't care as
much about your heart as you do
about your watch. The watch cost
YOU maybe $50; the heart cost you
nothing. And thus you value them.

MIDNIGHT FUNERAL AT SEA
Passenger on Atlantic Liner Has an
Unusual Experience During
Howlins Gale.

A weird sea experience was that
of Herbert n. Wilson of Chicago,
a passenger on the Finland of the
Red Star line. The Finland left
Antwerp November 80, encountered
a storm just outside the English
channel, and then ran into storm
after storm all the way across.
At midnight, December 3, in a
bowling gale with mountainous seas,
the Finland's engines stopped. Will
son, who had been unable to sleep,
put on a heavy coat and went on
deck. He saw a group of seamen
going aft, carrying something, and
followed.
The object was borne to the stern
and placed on deck. Several officers
of the ship were waiting, among
them the purser, Isidor Dubois. Will
son soon found that he was witness
ing a midnight funtral in midocean.
Little time was wasted in cere-
many. The purser read prayer,
the seamen picked up the long, black
object from the deck and slid it
over the rail. In few minutes the
vessel was throbbing again from the
pulsation of the engines, and away

DAIRY NOTES.

Separate the cream from h e
milk. Get a good butter-making
machine and start on the road to
prosperity and plenty.
From an exchange we CLEAN the
following five points to be observ-
ed in selecting a good dairy COW:
First. Large body, indicating
a capacity for eating and digest
ing a lot of food.
Second. Thinly fleshed back
bone, especially back of the Shout
ders-this indicates that the food
is not all made into flesh.
Third. Large udder, for here
is where the milk is made.
Fourth. Large milk veins
when these are large it indicates
that a large amount of blood passes
through the udder and then re-
turns to the heart.
Fifth. Large clear eyes, thus
indicating good nerves W h C h
drive the organs of digestion and
milk making.
The past few years the tendency
has been to rush all calves to mar
Ket at an early age-as a result
there is a worldwide shortage of
cattle. This has been especially
true of dairy calves-mapy dairy
men holding that it was cheaper
to buy dairy COW than to raise
one, besides the milk would bring
more than the calf.
If the supply is not to be met it
will be necessary in the future to
raise more calves on the farm.
The calf is the start, but only
the start; the breeding is alright,
but care and feed must uppl e.

breeding. Save the sunniest side

Judge Young Right
Man In RiQht Place.

The cleaning out that Judge
Allie W. Young is giving Breath
lit county has long been needed
and the way that he is doing it is
worthy of all praise. He dis
charged II jury for making flesh of
Que and fowl of another man, that
is to say. it return ed a verdict on
the same evidence, acquitting a
rich mai and finding a poor one
guilty. Judge Young holds the
belief that the law should be no
fespecter of persons, and it seems
that lie carries his theory into
practice. when the Republican
candidate for County Judge of the
last election was sent To Jail for
violation of the liquor laws. One
can hardly imagine the state of
affairs ad this law-breaker been
elected judge instead of being sent
where it seems he belongs. Judge
Young is doing great work for
law and order, and is entitled to
the praise of everyone who be-
lieves. that it should be supreme.
He made his own district model
one for law enforcement, and his
prompt and courageous action put
an end to a strike revolt that
threatened the peace of the Sec
ton.
The Montgomery county jurist
has frequently been mentioned for
higher honors, and while we
should like to see him get anything
that he wants, we believe that he
is doing too good work as Cir
cult Judge for him to leave the
bench.
Late dispatches say that Judge
Young has decided to remain in
Jackson until the docket is cleared
and has asked Governor McCreary
to appoint a Judge to hold the
court in his district. This is most
commendable and is sure to re-
dound to the good of Breathitt
county.-W. P. Walton in Lex

Cleanliness and temperature are
the two great factors in keeping
milk sweet. The fresh drawn
milk is almost free from bacteria
until it becomes contaminated
either during the milking process
or while waiting the start for deli
very. To keep them out is not so
easily accomplished as the general
public imagines. The smallest
parts will fall in the pail. even
with painstaking care and the
best that can be done is to use
sanitary milk pail which should be
covered as much as possible, and
to brush the udder before milk
ing.
In order to free the milk from
animal heat, it is necessary to ae-
rate and cool at once and hold at
low temperature, thus prevent
ing bacteria starting, for it takes
but three per cent of Tactic acid to
start the souring process.

to sunshine of all milk utensils and

Rest Is the Greatest of Remedies.

AVE you ever wondered why you
- must rest?
Rest is one Of the most essential
needs to uphold human life. With
out it one could not live. Rest IS
needed more in infancy than at any other
time. Then the body must develop rapidly,
and to do so it must have plenty of rest.
healthy infant passes the greater part of
its time in sleep. From the time a person
is born until he becomes twenty -one he usu-
ally sleeps we'll In this period the body
grows. At twenty-one, it is said person
stops growing in height. With this stop of
growth, less sleep Is needed.
When disease affects the body, repair is
necessary. Rest is the best means for re-
pair. In cases Of heart disease and lung
troubles, rest is considered the best remedy.
In many cases Of heart disease, patients
have recovered after having been confined
to bed for months at time. Rest is q
powerful curative in active tuberculosis That
is why physicians usually advise their pa
tients to go to sanitariums.

year for the girl, the girls chances are but
slightly better than the boys; from the thir-
is smaller than among men and continues
smaller until the SEVENTEEN year. Then for
a decade and half the sexes have the same
chance of survival, but above eighty-ive
women again stand a much better chance
than men.
To account for this difference, the statis-
ticau points out that woman has much
greater residence in shaking off diseases than
man. 1t is true that a mans physical
strength is greater than q woman's, but a
womans power Of resistance is mitch more
robust.
One reason for tfis is that woman pos
sesses a finer perception of her power of
endurance than man and when her per-
ception warns her of fatigue she stops. A
man does not stop until his power is ex-
hausted His nervous system is not as finely
organized as a womans, and as Mosso, the

to 100000 years old. 1t is certain, however
that the skull is from the Pliocene period,
one of the earliest periods Of human devel
opment.
The skull was built up by Frank Barlow
of the London Natural History museum who
spent several months on this work. The
teeth on the original must have been of i'm
mense size, much larger than on any human
being of the present day. The teeth and
heavy upper jaw show the primitive char
acteristics and help to establish the age of
the Oldest woman. The skull is small, show
ing that the brain development was slight.
This is also shown by the receding forehead.
These fragments are older than any frag-
ments previously found. Others which have
been accredited with actual " old age" are
the fragments found at Neandernal, in Prus-
sia, in 1856. An ancient Jaw was also dis
covered in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1907.
Prof. Klaatsch of Berlin says that the. prmi-
tive race to which this skull belonged was
driven back and killed by higher race of
men which existed contemporaneouslg with
IL and that we are descendants of tfte con-
quering race and not Of this oldest wSman."

These are all of the reasons and the only
reasons why woman's crowning beauty is
lovelier than mans.
1.-The scalp is like a soil,' says DR.. Guelpa
Hair closely resembles the vegetation that
grows upon the real soil. When the scalp is
neglected or given wrong treatment the hair
on it does just as the grass does if the soil on
which 1t grows does not receive sufficient
moisture and care or when the soil is too
poor"
According to DR.. Guelpa, a stiff hat is
mistake, because any sort of a hard, stiff hat
constructs the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp and causes the scalp to resemble un-
nourished soil, thus killing the hair.
Hair that is kept short is usually unhealthy
hair, because clipping the hair exposes the
scalp and leaves the delicate roots unprotected
and at the mercy of dust, winds, heat, and
cold. The natural oils which form are hard
ened by the cold or softened by heat, and can
not perform their duty as well as If protected.
In summer a man with short hair frequently
burns the roots of his hair because he ventures
into the sun without the needed protection of
soft hat or cap.
Too much food causes fat to form directly
under the skin, and in addition to the flesh
and skin layer there is fat layer near the
skull. This fat layer causes the hair to die.
