NEW GAS line
From IEsz to Louisville viii be Laid
This Season.

The company which is to supply
natural gas to Louisville has al
ready secured line from the wells
in the western part of West yfr-
ginia to Inez. KY From this point
right of way has been secured al
most in a bee line to Louisville, and
passes west of West Liberty in
Morgan-co., Frenchburg in Meuefee,
Winchester in Clark, runs about
eight miles south Of Lexington and
five miles north Of Versailles in
Fayette and wo6dford. about mid
die distance between Lawreneeburg
and Frankfort, about 5 miles from
shelbyvilIe,, and thence to Louis
vile.
A right Of way has been secured
along the whole distance, except a
few gaps. where condemnation may
be necessary.
The order for the pipe and fit
tings has been placed, and it is in
tended to start work on the line at
several places at the same time
II is estimated that in point Of
time for the completion of the
work, one mile in the mountains is
equal to two miles in the flat coun-
try, SO that arrangements have
been made to start the gangs clos
er together in the mountainous part
of the country through which the
line comes
The line will be of 12-ineh steel
pipe, tested to 400 pounds pressure
per square inch The joints will be
OF the most modern construction,
made absolutely tight before the
ditch is filled. The pipe will be
placed in deep trench, SO as to
allow at least a two-foot cover over
the top Of the pipe In this way it
will not interfere with the cnltiva-
tion of the land.
At river crossings. two pipes will
be laid, each one large enough to
carry all the gas, in case accident
should occur to the other. Arrange
ments are made so that the broken
pipe can be shut off while repairs
are being made without losing any
gas.
The distance from Louisville to
the gas fields is about 21O miles.
but by securing the use of the line
to Inez, the pipe that must be con-
structed to Louisville amounts to
about 1S5 miles Evening Post

TO SCREEN WINDOWS
OF THE NEW CITY JAIL
Commissioner Weatherly
Given Power to Act-TO
Consult DIR. Oates

Commissioner James weatherly face
tiously observed yesterday that in order to
restrain interested persons from passing
"roller topped desks, pianolas, Victrolas
or such things" into the new city prison,
It was necessary that $40 worth of screen
ing be purchased for AZ windows in that
prison. He was given power to act upon
the matter by the commissioners. Since
the recent wholesale delivery at the prison
the commission has been investigating
ways and means Of more adequately pro-
tecting the prisoners from outside an
noyance. AS the situation is now one
on the outside could hand in whisky or
other articles of like nature to the prison
ers with no interference. The bars are
wide apart and render such service to
confined persons easy.
The screens on the city jail were or
dered removed by DIR. Oates. state prison
inspector, and before the screens are
placed the new prison windows the
state inspector will be consulted. 1t is
probable that little objection will be Of
fered by DR. oates to the screens on
the new prison. The old prison was badly
lighted, while the new prison is like the
day. The old prison was foul for the
want of fresh air. while the new prison
is well ventilated.

Household Economy
How to Have the Best Cough
Syrup and Save g., by
Making 1t at Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule. contain q
large quantity of plain syrup. Ii you
take one pint of granulated sugar, add
1a pint of warm water and stir about
2 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 215 ounces OF
Pinex $50 cents WORTH in a pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, YOU
will have as much cough syrup as YOU
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
keeps perfectly.
And you viii find it the best couel,
syrup you ever used-even in whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold--usu-
ally stops the most severe cough in "a
hours. 1t is Just laxative enough, has q
good tonic effect, and taste Is pleasant.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two OF
three hours.
1t is u splendid remedy, too, for
wlooping cough, croup, hoarseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
PiDex is the most valuable concentra-
ted compound Of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine Clements. No other prepare
tion will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex an Sugar Syrup is now
used and pr zed il thousands Of homes
il the Unit States and Canada. The
plan has often been initiated but never
successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
get it for YOU. II not. send " The
