Authorities contend that cancer is
not contagious, but Doctor Oder,
head of the cancer institution at Gene

which the disease has required, a fact
he can only account for on the theory
that it is contagious. He urges that

TN ANSWER TO NUMEROUS
QUERIES.

Judging from letters received from
our readers in the country, the home
sewers must be in the midst of the
spring dressmaking. And many are
not little puzzled in regard to Sc
lecting the style for their dresses. Yes,
it is true, that the "books show lots
of fussy designs. 1t is also true
that they have never shown so many
pretty plain designs. The big stores
in the city do display many over
trimmed garments of cheap material,
but in those compartments away from
the eyes of those who like to "paw'
over things that are cheap, will be
found garments plain and beautiful,
that will be gladly bought by women
of refined taste. No cheap cotton
lace, garish braids, or near silk is
shown on the garments they select.
And, since one reader asks the
question l will answer, truthfully,
that ore great mistake the country
woman makes is her choice of styles
that are too elaborate. and the Sc
lection of wrong material for the
dress to be worn on certain occasions.
One has only to think of the dress
they saw worn on the Fourth just
passed. Dresses of pink silk made
tunic style and lace trimmed, white
lingerie gowns and white shoes. The
entire outfit suitable for parties or
dressy affairs only. Then there was
the slashed skirt looking as if it was
cut even higher than the pattern
must have been, and skirts so skinny
that the fathers and brothers must
have been embarrassed by the display
of form.
IL is time that sensible women take
stand against this vulgarity for
such it is. 1t is time that mothers
take time to study why their young
daughters want to bare their arms
and neck, why they are determined
to slash their skirts to the knee. 1t
shows there is growing lack of mod

in strong soda water until perfectly
clean, then again boiled in clear
water. One should never consider
simple wash sufficient. The juice
often gets between the porcelain and
zinc and causes it to corrode. The
cover itself often becomes lined with
white substance, which is poison.
Let me say right here that covers
should never be put away for next
years use in that condition. Have
little brush and scour them until
not trace is left. Wash, dry, and
put them on the empty cans and put
them away out of the dust. By doing
this they are ready by just wiping the
outside and rolling in hot water.
The covers can be put in basin OF
hot water and remain there for
quarter of an hour.
In some homes, where the housewife
prides herself on her neatness, may
be seen jars and covers that are unfit
for use. 1t is no wonder that fruit
put up in them looses its flavor and
color.
Coming back to our new method,
after seeing that the cans and covers
are immaculate, begin by placing over
the fire several kettles filed with cold
water which must be boiling when
ready to use. The fruits must be of
the soft kinds, such as berries, peach
es, and perhaps apricots if we'll ripen-
ed. Pears and ounces are too hard.
Pack the prepared fruit in the clean
jars, put all that can be crowded in.
While this is being done have guam
tity of syrup, made Of sugar and
water, boiling on the stove. 1t
should boil for five minutes. One
can determine for herself how much
sugar she will use for each jar.
! Set each jar as needed on a hot,
wet towel, pour over the boiling syrup
until not a drop more will go in, put
on rubbers then screw on top or ad-
just cap and spring, if that kind is
used.
Have ready the wash boiler in a
place where it won't have to be
moved for twenty four hours. Set in
the jars side by side, then pour in
the boiling water until the jars are
we'll covered. To prevent the jars
cracking let the water run against the
side of the boiler. If there are only
few Jars the water need cover them
only five inches otherwise, the boiler
should be filed. Put on the cover
carefully, then spread over a heavy
blanket tucking it around closely.
Under no considera ton must it be
disturbed for twenty-four hours.
At the end of that time, take out Jars
and put away. Some women always
tighten covers again. Personally L
never disturb them after the first ad-
justment.
Neither do | stand them on their
tops to see il they are on tight.
Three things must be observed-to
have the jars sterilized, boiling syrup,
and plenty of boiling water-these
combined with quickness will bring
the desired result.
When fruit is cooked in open
vessels the flavor is largely wasted in

SACRED MUSIC

KryPs Famous Band will be
here on Sunday, June 20. What
an opportunity this will be for
real lovers of music! To hear a
grand concert of sacred music is
a rare opportunity. 1t may never
come to Richmond again. The
songs sung by our fathers and
mothers, played by a master, in
which playing all of the soulful
melody will be given artistic in
depreciation and expression, is
something to which we can look
forward with joyous anticipation.
These grand pieces, sung by mil
lions in every cline and land, be-
long in common to mankind.
They have thrilled the hearts of
prince and pauper alike, lifted the
burdens from the oppressed, soft
ened our savage natures, and
healed the bruised heart. Music
is the soul of harmony, and the
language of angels. 1t purifes
the heart, cleanses the mind,
lightens the burdens of life, lifts
us from sensualitieS and gives us
the Heavenly vision. And these
sweet old hymns, Rock of Ages,
Jesus Lover of My Soul, Nearer
My God to Thee, Lead Kindly
Light, etc., tunes that have be-
come part of our being, will be
rendered in one grand, swelling
volume of harmony, filling us
with delight, awakening glad re-
membranes, rejuvenating our
languishing souls and carrying us
HeavenWard.
The music that has lived
through ages is sacred music, and
it will be our gracious privilege
to hear the inimitable Kryl in
sacred concert on Sunday, June
%, at the Chautauqua.

In the awakening of Kentucky,

School located here. The part
played bv these two great institu-
tons of learning can not be over

men and women and sent them
out as leaders of men in thought

were enabled to point out to the

Baked.
Candidates Take the Studs

Two of the numerous candi-
dates, Mr.. Green Clay and Mr..
Thomas H. Collins and perhaps
others, balk on the matter OF
signing an agreement not to use
money or other thing OF value in
the coming primary election We
do not know the ground OF their
refusal to sign and therefore do
not undertake to make a state
ment in reference to it.
Some of the candidates, though
in the city, cut the meeting.
Others took to the woods to
avoid the meeting. However the
county committee will give all
such another opportunity to read,
understand and sign the agree
Iment and will meet on next Sat
urday for that purpose.
| Whisky, adulterated whisky
as cheap as can be bought is be-
inc used by some of the candi-
dates. One man on coming from
the court house Saturday said
that he believed that there was
five gallons of such stuff in the
court house. Let's be charitable
enough to believe, however. that
he was seeing double; but the
fact is he was duly sober and had
not tasted the stuff. 1t is un-
doubtedly on tap for you can

way to test the candidates who are

THE AWAKENING

Eastern Kentucky is aroused in
a commercial way that astounds
the oldest inhabitant. Railroads
are penetrating the mountains
and connecting them with the
Blue Grass and the cities. Cities
have been built in the eastern
portion of the State, which in a
few years have attained a won
derful population of enterprising,
progressive citizens.
There is a reason for this
awakening. Education has open
ed the eyes of the natives to their
own possibilities. In the last
twenty years much has been done

THE NORMAL

On another page of this issue is
given the substance of the mate
rial part of the answer made by
the Board of Regents to the re-
port made by Goodpaster on the
Normal School. The anwer is
full and complete. 1t shows how
unfounded the report of the
Inspector was and how little
effort he had made to find out
the exact situation. It condemns
him unscathingly for making a
superficial examination and for
expressing opinions without a
careful and exhaustive considera-
ton of the law of the case.
When we read in the papers
extracts of that report we were
just a little inclined to believe that
it was a made to order affair, but
we waited for the answer of the
Regents. This answer came
like a brick smoke house falling
on Mr.. GoodpaSter. 1t has GER
tainly flattened him out and
makes him look like thirty cents.
His was an audacious report,
considering that he obtained his
information in a few days, cover
ing a period of seven years work
of men who have unSelfishly
given of their time and means
and their intelligence, without
reward, to bring about a great
school for the upbuilding of
humanity. 1t is unfortunate that
such a thing occurred, a calamity,
for when men are giving high
talents to a public business with
out reward, except the plaudits
of their countrymen, it is dis
couraging to them and makes
men hesitate to be affiliated with
a public institution where their
best efforts are subject to public
censure by men who are unable
to reach up to the dignity of
the thing under investigation.
His report was distinguished for
his inability to find anything in
this great school commendable,
and in that he found many trifling
things to condemn. The State
of Kentucky should be, and we
think it is, justly proud of this in
Stitution. The work that it is
doing is bearing fruit and in a
few years more it will be recog-
nized the Nation ever as one of
the great seats of learning. Liv-
ing in sight of the campus where
we have an opportunity of seeing
and judging, we unhesitatingly
say that there can not be found a
more conscientious corps of
teachers, a more efficient board
of officials or better student body
than is to be found at Eastern.
Long may she live, ever increas-
ing in strength and power for
good. And may that tongue and
hand that strike it unfeelingly and
unjustly, be silenced by an out
ragged and awakened public con-
science.
Remember the words of Ed
ward Everett, I'VE must educate;
we must educate, or we die by
our poSterity'';; and, remembering
them, let us put forth greater eff
forts than ever before for the
success of an institution, of which
all the State of Kentucky can
say, 1T is our own and we love
it and will protect it because it is
our own"
