For the first time in history a party
of Tibetans have left their own country
to visit Europe The visit is sanction
ed by the dalai lama, and in the party
are four boys, eleven to sixteen years,
and Tibetan officer and his wife.
The Tibetans are attired in their ma

Chinese style of footgear. The officer
wears, in distinction, a blue cape and
a string of colored beads in his left
ear, showing his rank. The boys are
going to go to school at Aldershot, in
England. They have never Travelled
before and hitherto have lived at an
altitude of 10000 feet.
After taking a month to travel 300
miles across the mountains of Tibet
they saw a railway train for the first

ITCHING IRRITATION.
Worst Form of Skin Trouble Quickly
Relieved by Inexpensive Treatment

When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that
it is necessary to use some disgust
ing, greasy ointment. Try Hokara,
a pure and simple cream, that is
guaranteed to contain no grease or
acids and which is so cleanly that it
does not soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any
irritation of the skin and make it
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do minor skin troubles
like pimples, blackheads, acne, bar
ber's itch, ETC., quickly disappear, but
the worst ulcers or cases of salt
rheum or eczema are cleansed and
healed by this wonderful skin food
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense, Peirs drug
store is selling liberal-sized jar at
25c, and in addition guarantee to re-
fund the money if the treatment does
not do all that is claimed for it.

State William Jennings Bryan

The Fourth American Peace Con-
gress closed it's formal program last
Saturday. 1t has brought together
distinguished delegates from all the
Peace Societies of America.
The sessions were held in the
Odean Auditorium seating capacity
for 5000 to 10000 people. At the
opening Wednesday, May 1st, the
Hon. Richard Bartholdt, member OF
Congress from Missouri presided.
1 Addresses of welcome were made by
! the Governor of Missouri, Hon. E.
4 w. Major, and by the Mayor of St.
Louis, Hon. Henry w. Kiel, which
I we're responded to by Congressman
p Bartholdt, President of the Congress.
. Among the other speakers were
Andrew Carnegie on the Baseless
Fear of War. Mr.. Carnegie held the
undivided attention of the vast au-
dience by his keen cut statements,
scintillating with wit and delicate
sarcasm. He was followed by Senor
Don Ignacio Calderon, Minister from
Bolivia; Senior Don FREDERICK AL
fonso Pezet, Minister from Peru, and
0IIOh w LII. Ds -. HAlhCJy lhOllbOi Vi
3Congress from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Ainey called attention to the
fact that 70 per cent. of the annual
income of the United States was
used for the maintenance of the
Army and Navy on a war basis, and
in payment of war incurred obliga-
Htions; that 6,50O,000 of the world S
Selected able bodied men were with
drawn from the field of productive
activity to take up war-like pursuits,
with a consequent world loss of $4,-
900, 100000 annually. He empha-
sized the false economic and ethical
Standpoint of war and said when the
consciousness of the taxpayers (the
worlds burden bearers) were arous-
ed to the great financial load impos-
ed upon them by the maintenance OF
war footing a long step would be
taken toward eliminating wars as
methods for determining interna-
tional differences and disputes.
At four o'clock Wednesday a re-
eeption was rendered the Congress by
the Women's Wednesday Club al
their magnificent Club House.
In the evening addresses were
made by Hon. Chas. w. Fairbanks

Citizens Urged to Work Roads.

Governor McCreary has issued
proclamation designating Oeto-
Der "a and 25 as Good Roads days
to get out and work the roads OF their
counties between the hours Of a. m.
and p. m. The proclamation fol-
lows:
81 have received letters from various
persons requesting me to issue a pro-
clamation designating two days for
work on the roads of the state; and
the Kentucky Good Roads Association,
held September 16, 1918, at the State
Fair, Louisville, KY, unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
BE is resolved, that this associa-
ton request the Governor. James B..
McCreary, to designate two days in
the latter part of October to be SET
aside for the purpose of work on the
public roads in the state Of Kentucky,
and that Messrs. Harry Summers,
Joseph Bosworth and r. c. Terrell De
appointed as committee to wait upon
the governor and present this resolu-
ton to him."
Pursuant to these requests, / now
issue this, my proclamation, calling
upon the people in every county of
the state of Kentucky to work on the
roads in their respective counties, on
Friday and Saturday, October "a and
%, 1913, commencing at o'clock n

sons as may be needed to assist. In

neer, or where they fail to act, the
sheriff or other persons are authorized
to organize and comply with this proc
lamation.
This proclamation refers to dirt
roads, turnpikes and gravel roads, and.
as Kentucky always takes the lead in
every movement and as Kentuckians
desire the betterment Of our highways,
they must come forward with enthu.
siasm and energy, and show the peo-
pie of other states that they can equal
or surpass them in the improvement
of their roads.
