Sweeping reductions in express rates
on parcels all over the country were
ordered Monday by the Interstate Com.
MERGE Commission.
The new reduced rates become eff
fective October Is. The reductions
range from 10 to go per cent, relieving
shippers from eXhorbitant charges.
For two years the new rates are to
be experimental, the commission de.
clared. Unless too great loss of rev.
enue results to the express companies
they will become permanent.
The express companies vigorously
oppose the rate reductions, ordered
June s, 1913. The rates were suspend

Monday they were finally ordered tC

NERVOUS TROUBLES
DRIVE AWAY HAPPINESS.

People who are all run down in
health who are worn out, nervous and
half-sick, are apt to be thoroughly dis
couraged. They are half-hearted, list
less and depressed, and feel that this
is terrible world with many pains in
it, and few pleasures.
This state of mind is recognized by
physicians as a common symptom of
nervous debility.
If you are one Of the many Ameri-
cans who are suffering with nervous
breakdown or nerve exhaustion, you
can get back your old health and spir-
it's in a few weeks time. Go to your
druggist and obtain bottle of iona
Vita. This remarkable tonic is help
ing thousands back to health and it
will not fail in your case. You will be
astonished how quickly it will build
you up both in mind and body.
iona Vita is sold by Chas. e. But

FOR HOW LONG.
Paris Raises Pertinent Question

When a neighbor tells us that he has
recovered from a serious illness, the
first question that naturally arises is,
How long will he keep well?" Tenn
porary relief is one thing, but a lasting
cure is altogether different There is
nothing temporary about the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills, as the following
Paris evidence proves beyond a doubt:
Mrs. j. T. Martin, Pleasant and 18th
Sts., Paris, KY, says: Il suffered quite
severely from pains across the small
of my back and in the kidneys. The
trouble alarmed me and l tried many
medicines. l did not get relief, how
ever, until l procured Doan's Kidney
Pills at Wilson's (nOw Chas. E. But
Ter e Co.'S drug store. They i'm
proved my condition in every way.
All l have ever said praising Doan's
Kidney Pills was entirely correct, and
confirm my former public endorse
ment. They permanently cured me Of
kidney trouble"

MINE DISASTERS DUE
TO EARTH MOVEMENTS
(Harper's Weekly


Many mine cataStropheS are directly
due to the movement of the earth,
shown in the tendency of the ground
around the pit to sink, and internally
by the droop in the vault and in the
sides of the mine; such dislocations
are due not only to the pressure of the
weight of the ground, but to latent
pressure resulting from internal mo-
ton still in progress, though dating
from the early stages of the earth.
AS consequence of it's cooling after
the incandescent state, the outer crust
of the earth was subjected to pressure
which is still existent, as is shown by
spontaneous movements of the rock
masses. In some quarieS where the
gneiss is very hard, even, and of the
same quality throughout, the ground
swells in long ridges and is rent
asunder with prodigious noise. All the
rocks are in state of compression
due to the mechanical actions to which
they have been subjected. Such &C
ton is peculiarly intense in coal mines,
and it takes effect not only upon the
galleries, where it bends the pillars
and steel and brushes the masonry,
but on the coal also, which it sOftenS
and so works as to release the gas
contained in it under pressure of per-
haps several atmospheres. In view of
taking precautions against such ac-
ton, engineers advise an allowance of
supplements or give" in the support
of the mine.
The ground pressure is responsible,
at least in part, for explosions of fire
damp. Continually recurring strong
ground pressure modifies the permea-
bility of the strata, creates numerous
channels in the coal masses, and
makes issues for the gas. In some
cases the gas elbows out" of the coal
at the extreme limits of the mine and
abnormal and repeated escapes of gas
brushes the rock.

WEATHER PROPHET
PREDICTS SEVERE WINTER,

Asa K. Martin, who for many years
has had wide reputation as a weather
prognosticator, has issued a forecast
In which he predicts unusually severe
cold weather next winter. He declares
that there are to be just thirty SHOWS,
the first falling on October 16, and the
last on May 5. There is to be one
sleetstorm in the month of December
Twelve zero days are scheduled. There
are to be four ice spells in which the
fee will be from three to seven inches
thick
The worst cold weather and snow
storms, he says, will be in December
and January. One ice spell is to come
in November, when the ice will be
from two and one-half to three inches
IN thickness.
The weather conditions for this
month, he says, are determined large
iy by the conditions prevailing on the
day the Dog star rises, August 9th.
Should the weather be hot and sultry
on that day the same character of
weather will continue until August 81,
when the star sets at the dark hour
Of midnight. He prophesies that Sep
TENDER will be warm, but not so warm
as August, and the fall will run to the
middle of October. October will be
cool and pleasant.

SCOUTS TO BE ENLISTED
IN FOREST CONSERVATION

The LOG Boy Scout troops in Ken
lucky are to be enlisted in the cause of
forest protection and regeneration.
State Forester ]. E. Barton is prepar-
ing statement which ne will send out
to the Scoutmasters, explaining plan
which has been effectively used in
Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Cal
fornforia, Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. The Scouts not only do active
work by reporting fires and aiding in
other ways, but the plan inculcates in
the minds of the coming generations,
Forester Barton said, the necessity
both of protecting the forests and re-
foresting the country. 1t is estimated
that there are about 1000 Boy Scouts
in the State, and the troops are scat
tered from the Big Sandy to the Mis-
sissippi. A bulletin containing infor-
nation, the plan of work and what is
to be accomplished, will be prepared
for the use of the Scouts.

SLATTERY SEES JAMES
RELATIVE TO CANDIDACY.

Thos. M. Slattery and former Repre-
sentative James Kehoe, of Maysville,
were in conference with Senator Ollie
M. James Tuesday relative to the for
mer's candidacy for the position of
United States District Attorney in the
Eastern District of Kentucky, to sue
coed District Attorney Edwin P. Nor
row at Covington.
Morrow's term does not expire until
December. This is the position for
which Senator James had decided to
recommend Charlton B. Thompson,
recently appointed Internal Revenue
Collector at Covington.
Slattery has been a James supporter.
He is favorably located geographically,
as it has been generally conceded that
the appointment would go to the east
ern part of the district, since the Col
lectorship went to the western section.

GOATS EAT GRAPE OFF DOORS.
New York SUM-

An undertaken in the Bronx has COM
planned to Magistrate Murphy in the

plant look like business the underta-
ker put his grievance in writing.
Here is the very note:
"The Honorable Judge, Morrisania
Police Court: 1t is impossible for us
to look after these goats while we
have to go out and support a family
and alsodo Homework. If the Depart
ment of Health would take care OF
these goats and not have them going
around dumping ash cans.
Honorable Judge, the Department
of Street Cleaning doesn't come around
for days at a time, and, therefore, are
full. They go so far as tearing
grapes off doors of houses, and | think
they should be done away with"

nowhere has greater progress taken
place than on the farm. People al
ways envied the independence OF the
farmer, but stalled at the thought OF
the hard work attached to such life.
But times have changed and the pres
ent-day farmer earns his indepen-
dence and bank account with greater
ease than the average office or fac.
tory employee. The tractor engine for
blowing, the many automatic appli
