At TEMPT
Of GIRL
To DIE
Phone Operator Near Death From
Strychnine, After Dependency
Over a Love Affair.

Dependency because of her
hance S inattention is said to
have caused Miss Catheryn
Reece, a telephone operator, to
take an overdose of strychnine
Sunday afternoon.
For hours her life was despaired of.
but shortly after o'clock Monday
morning it was stated that she had a
chance to recover.
No reason was given by Miss Reece
for her action, beyond a note which
she hurriedy wrote upon pad, when
the poison began to affect her. 1t
read: Sweetheart, you win never
know" At the hospital Monday
morning she denied that she had
taken the strychnine with suicidal in
tent, but that she had made mis-
take and taken an overdose
Miss Reece was taken TO the hos
pital at o'clock Sunday night from
her boarding house at 81 Fraser
Street While It Is not known at lust
what time she took the strychnine. Il
is thought she swallowed It before
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, when shs
mad returned to the house. Her reg
ular hours Of work were during the
afternoon and night. She failed to
return home Saturday night, and upon
her arrival there Sunday afternoon
stated that she was completely worn
out-that she had worked So hours
and was nearly dead"
She went into her room and Law
down. sher had been boarding there
but a week, and little was known Of
her She roomed with Mrs. Eta Ber-
ry, whose sister, Mrs. Carter, runs the
boarding house. A short while after
she went to the room, Mrs. Berry
heard her grooming and went into the
room.
Her condition became so serious
that DR.. E. D. Highsmlth was sum
moned. After an examination he said
that she was simply worn out, and
gave her some capsules to relieve her
ms was about ten minutes past six.
Asks Friend Be Notified.
1t was about $50 o'clock that Miss
Reese went into commissions, and de-
clared that she was going to die. She
asked Mrs. Berry to call Miss Vera
Casey, giving her two telephone num-
bers. Mrs. Berry was so busy trying
to relieve Miss Reese that she did not
have time TO call Mis- Casey. Instead
she went to the phone and called DR..
Highsmith again. While she was gone
from the room, Miss Reese seized a
pad and wrote the note, Sweetheart
you win never know"
The girl then had heavy convul-
sions and Mrs. Berry hastily sum
moned an ambulance She was re-
moved to the Grady Hospital and the
hard fight of the physicians to save
her life began. An examination Of
the capsules by the hospital surgeons
revealed the fact that they were
harmless. No trace OF the strychnine
could be found in her room, and it is
believed that she took it before she
arrived home, three hours before her
true condition was discovered.

In this world Of various obstacles

Of illeeitimate causes. There are so
many questions before the wandering

In presenting the subject, Santa

Sanitation in Kentucky Schools
Ry LOGAN D cKERsON. %.

school. Such should never be In a
country like ours. It's not the chlld's
fault Because most children like Il
play in water. It might be on account
of the spring being so far from the
house and water is scarce, but that is
not logical. II is rather presumable at
this point thatNt is negligence, or per-
haps, the lack lof home training. So
we may materially aid the children II
we teach them cleanliness, neatness
and tidiness.
We have discussed sanitation from a
personal standpoint, let us next look
into the environment Of the school
building. IF we are located in an I'M
healthy place, the school yard low and
wet, no trees in the yard, out house in
such place as to pollute the soil Of
the yard and form unpleasant odors and
create poisonous germs, we should set
to work at once to improve conditions.
II you will make the proper endeavor,
assistance is near. The source of the
drinking water should be looked after
and the water tested. No food should
be allowed to decay near the building,
and If one of the neighbours old horses
dies 1t should not be dragged into the
school yard and allowed to decay
mean by this that much attention must
be given to the care of the yard.
There is careless way of living,
which, in some instances, by mere ac-
cident, does not prove to be detriment-
al to the pursuer. Some people might
indulge In every wicked device, drink
stagnated water, eat rotten eggs, new
er battle and live a century, but such is
an accident. There is scientific way
of living by which some fanatics soon
perish, but the sound-headed, common
sensed person has more assurance of
long life and life of felicity that is
worth living. Don't be the "old fogy"
or the fanatic, but be the 'sure.to-win,"
the medium.
BY the efforts that have been put
forth in the last few years, the death
rate has been decreased several per
cent. Let US emphasize the absolute
necessity of sanitation in the home, at
school and everywhere. The child de-
sires to be clean. He will not go untidy
in tidy room, he won't throw bits of
waste material on the clean yard, if
you tell him not to: he will put all the
waste paper into box, if you will fur
nish box; he will wear clean apparel
If he can, provided you DO. It's an easy
matter to start the child right, if you
begin at the right time IN the right
way. Let US improve sanitation in our
schools. It can be done by teaching
the child to use water freely; to dress
tidy; to be clean at hone with milk,
water, food, etc to cultivate a desire
for the right sort Of living.
