II is no longer possible for the
labOring man who Is nearly al
ways encumbered with more than
the average family, to maintain
himself and family In comfort.
The prices which he receives for
his wages, when compared with
the prices which he must pay for
the necessities of life, makes the
former wholly inadequate.
Il is evident that neither the
tariff nor the currency is the
whole cause of the trouble. Pos
sibly it is based on selhshness. II
so, it will be hard to correct. But
the law is powerful and when
properly applied it can be made
to meet any emergency and rem
edy any wrong. Nine tenths of
the lawmakers are afraid of their
shadows and will not 60 on re-
cord as favoring laws that will
cure the evil. 1t is easy to fore
see, unless the people get relief,
that there will be formed one
large and powerful combination
called THE Consumers Trust"
which will take charge of and
control by dispensaries, all food
stuffs and clothing.
This is not a barren ideality.
1t is a reality manifest in nearly
every community but as yet
lacking cohesion, concentration
and leadership to combine it into
one powerful machine. The day
is dawning and the people
will be free.

Irvine, the Kentucky river at one
time being the dividing line be-
tween these two parent counties.
The northern lower part of Estill
county is so situated geograph-
ically that its inclinations will
be towards Winchester, but all of
the south side of the river as well
as that territory east of Irvine,
naturally belongs to Richmond.
But we warn the city of Rich
mond and the people of Madison,
that unless something is done to
attract that trade to our city, we
will lose it. The social and COM
mercial relations existing between
Estill and Madison county have
always been most cordial. And
these most amicable relations
must be maintained. Our friends
of a century must be invited here
and must be treated courteously
and honorably when they come,
and they must be shown in the
future, as they have been in the
past, that they will receive a
hearty welcome at our hands. A
very small thing sometimes serves
to divert a large and powerful
stream from its usual channel.
and a little neglect of the proper
social and commercial duties on
our part, will serve to divert the
people of that section from this.
There is always desire to see
and investigate new cities and
countries on the part of any peO'
pie, and when the new road is
completed and traffic opened up
giving them new fields, it will
serve as the diverting cause.
We are not an alarmiSt and al
ways take things calmly, but we
can truthfully say to our city
Dads" that it is up to them to
retain the trade which properly
belongs to this place, and they
must leave no stone unturned in
that direction. Already Lexins-
ton. Winchester and Cincinnati
are reaching out for the trade of
that country, and the combined
influences of those larger and
more powerful financial centers
will attract every dollar of the
trade to which we are justly en-
titled.
There is much in common be-
tween Madison and EStill in the
history of the state. The county
of Estill and the town of Irvine
were named for distinguished
Madison county families, and
there is a sympathetic cord be-
tween the two counties and the
| two towns which we should not
allow to be severed.
Therefore, we say to our new
guardians, be active, energetic
and awake to the opportunities
of our city and county.

PARCELS POST

1t is evident that if the new
rule of the Postmaster General
increasing the weight limit to 50
pounds for the parcel post traffic
is sustained and continued, that
we won't have parcels post but
will have the post office depart
ment carrying freight. The advO-
Gates of the parcels post system
never dreamed of the abuse to
which the law would be put, and
such abuse of discretion. on the
part of the Postmaster General
will lead to the immediate repeal
of the whole system. 1t is fool
ish to talk about the rural route
carrier carrying letters and freight.
No man would continue in the SER
vice and no man could perform the
duties required, because he would
be lacking the strength of an ami
NAL so to do. Besides, the com
mingling of delicate letters with
SO pound packages of mOlasses
would be somewhat detrimental
to the letters. Evidently the
Postmaster General is a practical
Joker.

OUR GUARDIANS

The new city council took the
oath of office the first Monday
and held its initial meeting last
Thursday night week. 1t elected
a competent corps of officers who
will assist it in the administration
of the city government. All of
them have had experience in the
management of affairs of the
city.
Our present Mayor, the new
city attorney and chief of police
will take their offices the first
Monday in January. Mayor Rice
succeeds himself.
Our retiring Police Judge, Hon
orable J. J. Greenleaf, who has
held the office for the last eight
years, has given entire satisfac-
ton to the people and has been
a very efficient officer indeed. Our
retiring city attorney, Hon. /. n.
Collins, is every inch a gentleman
but has been handicapped in the
administration of his office. How
ever, he leaves it with the respect
of everyone who admires SINGER
ity and honesty in an official.
Smiling" James H. Altman
who has been good and true
official, steps down and out with
the hearty approval of everybody
of his official conduct. He is sue
ceeded by Sunny" Dave Powers.
The address given by Mayor
Rice, which we printed in our
last issue, was a gem. He is not
a man to make many promises,
but is a man OF integrity, fine
business judgment, and will make
an excellent mayor. He has the
respect and confidence of the PEG.
pie, and now since the council
has increased his salary, he will
be justified in devoting more
time and giving closer attention
to the business of the Office. We
predict that there will be no com
plant from this quarter.
The incoming city attorney
Hon. d. NJ. Chenault is energetic
and a man who has been success
full in his private affairs, and We
doubt not that he will discharge
the duties of the office to the sat
iSfaction of the people. Watcl

good in his new position, and VIZ

Altogether the new city admin

men as these.

for these men to do wonderful
work for the city and for tn

Well Kept Eyebrows
Add Greatly to the
General Appearance

Women and girls know that the eye
brows are often ruined by dust when
motoring or by exposure to the sun,
all of which dries them to such an
extent that the glands are unable to
notrish the hair roots.
If your brows are getting thin, strag-
ely or losing their natural gloss you
have reason to suspect something has
happened to them and every effort
should be made to better the condition
by feeding the roots.
In this treatment one Of the first
essentials is to keep the brows> thor
oughly clean. This means more than
superficial washing, for while mere
dust may be loosened, it cannot be
taken out, and so the pores get
choked. Many a pretty eyebrow has
been hopelessly ruined by just being
neglected, and its owner probably did
not know why, because many women
do no more for the eyebrows than
to wash them when performing the
daily additions.
To properly wash the eyebrows a

soft tooth brush, kept for the purpose,

bland soap which contains pure oil,
either olive oil or CASTLE, are good.
The soap should be liquid, the water
tepid and, after dipping the brush into
the water, then into the soap, Wig
orous scrubbing should follow. Scrub
down into the roots. Rinse several
times to make sure that all the soap is
removed A good way is to thorough
ly cleanse the brush, freeing 1t from
soap and then, scrub the brows with
clear, clean water, otherwise the roots
and pores become clogged, just as
those do on the head, when the hair
has not been properly rinsed after a
shampoo.
Always when coming il from the
summer wind the brows should be
given a gentle but thorough brushing

company. Keep your eyes on him

it should be put on with fine camels-
hair brush, wiping afterward, as done
with the vaseline. In either case the
fingers of one hand are used to push
back the hair, while the application is
made with the other. That is, when
the right brow is massaged, start with
the left hand at the edge of the eye
brow nearest the temple and with the
fingers brush the hair backward to-
ward the end near the bridge of the
nose; this movement will raise the
hair so that in making the application
with the other hand you can easily
reach the roots. After the application
is made to one eyebrow reverse and
snoint the other; then give fIrri, yet
gentle massage, working in as much
as possible. This will feed the roots,
and in a measure restore some of the
natural oil which has been lost. After
some little time the brows should be
wiped, to remove the superfiuous oil.
