1t is not too much to say that
the exceptional good health of
Marion is very largely due to
the foresight of our esteemed
health officer, Doctor Frazer.
We have, to be sure, a real sum-
mer resort climate where its
never 100 hot and very rarely too
cold for outdoor festivities. yet
the fact remains that malaria
and all of it's attendent imps has
largely been banished by the
correct methods of this modern
practitioner. Doctor Frazer is
very modest man and no doubt
will blush when he reads this
but it's all true just the same.
Now if some kind official will
pull the bark from that confound-
ed dog that makes night hideous
to any one who is within four
miles of his caliopean voice and
will sit down sharp on a duet
that inclines largely so far as
noise is concerned to the tragic
in life, most of US when we say
our prayers at night will thank
the good Lord for the privilege
of living in Marion.

was: it might have happened in

rather sparselv settled. None of
the road had been eraveled or

great deal. The roads were very
primitive, yet they were nicely
rounded up and had been kept
nicely dragged. We overlook

such roads are. Further, the

Judge Gordon on Roads.

Circuit Judge Gordon, one OF
the most progressive men on the
Kentucky bench. delivered a
little heart to heart talk to the
people of Marion the other day,
concerning the use of the split.
log drag.
Judge Gordon wasn't speaking
from hearsay, but from actual
experience. He himself has
handled a split-log drag and has
seen it handled by his neighbors.
He testified unhesitatingly to its
good work and urged its adop'
ton at Marion. The Judge also
cited an example of what bad
roads can DO to a community. in
that seven sawmills were shut
down because the owners were
unable to make hauls over the
poor highways.
Judge Gordon makes a state
ment that we wish the fiscal
court and the road supervisor
would take the time to digest.
He says his road stays good all
the time and costs nothing but
little work at the right time.
Take that in, gentlemen, a LIT
TIE work at the RIGHT time.
Not a whole lot of digging and
scraping and expensive laboring
at the WRONG time.
We heartily wish Judge Cor
don could come down to Nc
Cracker county and give US a
few sermons on roads. Our poor

far as the Court of Appeals de-
cided that express companies
could deliver liquor in dry"
territory for personal use, but is
wrong in its conclusion that this
will nulify the bb-Kenyon
law. The express companies
knew that more than three
fourths of the liquor which they
delivered into dry territory was
not for personal use, but for
sale, and we take it for granted
that it will be too hazardous for
them to revoke the rule made
after the passage of the Webb
Kenyon act. If they did so they
would be plastered over with
indictments for other than per-
sonal use and their fines would
far exceed the total charges
they would get out of shipment.
If they were indicted and fined
in one shipment out of ten
their profits out of the business
would be wiped out and we take
it that the express companies
are not going to take such a long
chance. -Elizabethtown News.

MANY women's lives are a perfect
burden to them because they are
troubled with superflunus growth of
hair on their faces and arms.
OF course everybody has more or less
hair on her face. but if it is fire ard
fair it shows very little.
Even a slight dark growth on the up
per lip is not disfguring if people
would only believe and leave well
enough alone. but unfortunately a girl
often gets terrified at the first sign of
hair, and, thinking she is developing a
regular beard and mustache. she flies
to some remedy or other
For a time the skin is clear. and then
a stronger. much coarser growth of
hair appears. so matters so from bad
TO worse.
People cannot be too strongly ad-
vised not TO do anything to superfiu-
Gus hair unless it is really disfigur.ng.
Coarse, dark hairs can be removed by
electricity. but il must be skillfully
performed by a person who knows his
business, because the needle must go
right to the root of the hair and Kill ii.
and IL this is not carefully done the
face is SCARED and the hair grows

HEAD WILL SAVE
HOUSEWIVES HEELS
GET A FAMILY BULLETIN.

II ELPFCLNESS seems to be birth
right in some families particularly
in large families. There are so many
little personal services that the mem
bers perform for each other. but il is
very easy to forget 10 remember small
requests. and ii really isn't surprising
that Tom should grumble VIXEN his
stockings aren't mended or that Mary
should be aggrieved when the new book
shelf in her den stands disconsolately
in the corner waiting helpful hand
and hammer.
One housewife had such a clever idea
about doing things" She bought a
neat little pad and alta ched a pencil to
ii by a long string This pad she put
where every member of the household
could see il plainly. Each member who
wished help from another wrote his re-
quest on the pad. Just as soon as some
one performed the service he crossed
out the request, signing his own little
initials underneath.
The pad proved very popular and
really saved an immense amount of
nagging and friction. buttons were
sewed on. shelves put up pencils shar-
pened and gloves mended without a
word Of protest.
Now We have time for real CONVEX
sation in the family" sighed the
daughter of the household.

IT'S GOING TO BE AN EARLY FUR SEASO]

~ URING the summer Parisians
solved the problem OF keep
ing cool in a rather para
doxical fashion-that is. the
women gowned themselves for the hot
weather in costumes of chiffon trim
med with fur.
At Auteuil. the famous race course
OF France. where the lure OF the track
shares honors with the stunning cos
tunes Of the feminine spectators,
frocks Of Y ray fabrics, as the trans
parent stuffs are now called, have been
the rule: gowns OF so airy a nature
that nothing save the full bands at the
bottom Of the skirts apparently kept
them from blowing away. Indeed.
well known Partisan at Auteuil was
heard TO remark that women wore
their furs to keep their clothes down.
Wraps worn over dressy summer
frocks, too have had wide fur collars
Of a queer pelt dyed in an unnatural
orange color. So there is every reason
TO believe that We viii have an I'm
usually early fur season regardless OF
climatic conditions.
The smart pelts OF the winter season
will be moleskin. broadtail. seal. baby
caracul and pony skin.
The best liked fur coat models are in
cutaway effects. straight front. or box
bloused. as the trade term them. And
in full models japanese styles are much
favored.
But perhaps the newest Of wraps are
the mantlettes, ana they are charming
ly chic when developed in pelts. These
little wraps extend a trife below the
waist line a the back in rounded fash
ion. have kimouo sleeves and a square
cut off line az the waist in front.
In imitation seal a mantlette is de-
cidedly good style, and one OF the best
furriers in New York city has an at
tractive model Of this fur priced at
$50: not an exorhitant sum as the
price OF fur has SCARED together with
the cost of high living in other direc-
lions.
a new and rather peculiar feature OF
the coat OF 1913 Is the collar. There is
no attempt at fitting in this collar
After the many years when the fit Of
the collar made or marred the garment

There are fortunately a few women

Instead of a final touch Of this kind
the filler could be finished with a coat

When you have succeeded in getting

brush rub in some crude petroleum and
