HOW SOCIALISTS SEND CAPITAL
lsTs TO CONGRESS.
by Theodore Teepe.

AT the last presidential election the
Socialist party cast 90l 1913 votes and
elected twenty-six Democratic and Ro-
publican congressman,
That may be surprising but it is
true. Socialists voted for Socialists
but other parties used the votes. AS a
result twenty-slx Republican and Dem.
ocratic congressman are holding jobs
which they would not be holding had
those 9Oi,S73 Socialist voters and
their families never lived
The twenty-six Socialist congress
men were legally counted out because
we still cling to an ancient and dis
credited system of representation. The
remedy for this great wrong is pro
portional representation.

TOBACCO REVENUE DROPS
Demand For Cigarette, Leaf Shows De-
cided Activity and Pulls Up
Total.

Covington, Ky.-Although the total
collections of internal revenue from
tobacco sources in the United States
during the month of January were not
so large as the corresponding month
last year, the industry as whole does
not compare altogether unfavorably
with the productions at the opening of
1913, according to local Interpretation
of government statistics. Cigars and
manufactured tobacco show a slight
falling off in volume, but cigarettes
made substantial gain, as did also
small cigars and snuff, which partially
made up for the decreased production
in other lines. With the cigarette
outputs mounting higher almost
monthly, it is not unlikely that the pre-
diction that this branch of the tobacco
manufacturing industry will soon be
the most profitable revenue producer
for the government may be fulfilled
in at least one particular before the
end of the current year.

Frankfort, Ky.The State Tubercu,
losis Commission has issued state
ment in which it says:
I'm the past month the health ex-
hibit car of the Kentucky Tuberculo-
isis Commission has covered the prin-
cipal railroad points in Meade. Brock
inridge, Hancock and Ohio counties in
addition, with a total attendance Of
over $500 people, in spite of the bad
weather and bad roads.
"The three nurses and an expert
enced organizer, employed by the COM
mission, detailed to the cities of Ash
land, Paris, Georgetown and Mayield,
have, in the last month, discovered
about 100 cases of tuberculosis many
of them being pitiable instances.
Cases where whole families are made
destitute through the sickness of the
father or mother are not uncommon.
These workers endeavor not only to
teach the family just how best to care
for the sick person and to protect the
other members of the family, but,
more than that, endeavor to form pub
lie health leagues to support perma-
nently visiting nurses.
aThe Tuberculosis Commission is
encouraged at the widespread interest
in its work found throughout the State
and is planning to reach all of the peo-
pie of several counties in educational
work during the summer, besides con
Quoting intensive work with nurses in
certain localities"

The education of an individual in
the elementary and secondary schools
and in the university come through
three channels, written and spoken
language, experience and communica-
ton. Present-day methods of educa-
ton emphasize the fact that the ulti-
mate purpose Of education is character
building. In the development of a
pupil, whether in the city or rural
schools, there is a certain skill, judg-
ment and initiative that can be given
only by the experience that comes In
the doing of things with the hands.
In that period of our national de-
velopment when the home was a work
shop as well as dwelling, the shoes,
the clothing, the preserved foods, the
smoked meats, the lard, soap, the can
dies and furniture we're all made

Home Training Lost.
BY the invention of power-driven
machinery, and the shifting of the in
dustry of the home to the factory and
diversifying these manufacturing
processes into an innumerable number
of business enterprises, the child has
exchanged a simple and near indus
trial world in the home for a compli-
Gated and distant one, estranged from
the home. When the home ceased to
be a center of industry the child lost
his opportunity to acquire that Won
derfully broad view of the organiza-
ton of the industries which the home
had formerly given, also the training
of the eye and the hand for direct and
useful action.

good this loss to the individual is the

MILLIONS SAVING IN PROPER CARE OF MARKET EGGS

Did you know that the estimated
value Of the eggs laid in the United
States is six hundred million dollars,
and that forty-flve million of this Is
wasted on account of bad conditions
in, the focks, in storage rooms and
marketing facilities? Then knowing
this, isn't it high time we looked into
the cause of this waste? Our whole
system of marketing eggs must be rev.
olutionized if eggs are to reach the
consumer in the condition they should.
The trouble begins with the main pro-
Queer, the farmer. II the first place,
he is extremely careless about the con-
dition of his hens. To lay a perfectly
good egg the hen must be in the pink
Of condition. Then she must be prop
erly housed and fed.
The eggs from hens that are allowed
to feed on filth from the pig pen or
manure pile are, no better than milk
from slop-fed cows. The milk from
garbage-fed COWS is unlawful. There
is a reason why such food is no better
for laying hens than for dairy cows.
Most people who buy eggs for con-
sumption have only one test as to
goodness and quality, and that is
freshness. But already with better
knowledge a change from this stand
ard is coming about and a discrim-
mating public is demanding other
things beside freshness in their table
eggs. There are eggs laid daily that are
not fit for human consumption even
when new laid. We would not belittle
freshness in eggs. It is of great i'm
portance, but only one of the prime re-
quisites Of good eggs.
One of the reasons that eggs reach
the consumer with faint to them is,
that the filters of many egg cases are
soiled and ill-smelling. Storing egg
cases in cellar or other damp. musty
place is also an abomination. 1t would
be just as sanitary to pack butter in
dirty or bad-smelling tubs as to pack
eggs in bad-smelling cases.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Louisville, Ky-Announcement by
the L,& N. Railroad Company that it
would reduce passenger rates from 3
to 21s cents before April first caused
a big stir in railway circles and has
excited interest in all parts of the
state. In order to compete with the
Louisville & Nashville for passenger
business, four other roads, the South
ern railway, Chesapeake & Ohio, Illi-
nois Central and the Louisville, Hen
derson & st. Louis road, will have to
follow the lead. According to calcu-
lations made on the total mileage Of
the various lines, this will mean a saw.
ing of at least 100000 a year to the
travelling public. According to the va
rious passenger agents of the outside
roads, their general offices will take
prompt action in the matter which
means that the next week or so will
bring official announcements of cuts
in passenger rates effective April 1.
Company Explains Course.
In a statement the L. & N. Railroad
Company sets out that It's acton is
voluntary and taken Gin order to
equalize the rates in its home state
with the rates effective or to be made
effective on or before the date men

not unfair to the public" but applies

opinion" in fulfilling promises hereto
fore given that Kentucky would fare
as well as other states and in the
"hope that increased volume of traffic
will save material losses"
There is a bill pending in the legis-
lature which would stipulate two
cent passenger rate on all railroads in
Kentucky.

tax not exceeding fifty cents on the

The Antle bill, which was recommend

gro employee of the Big Hill Mining
Co. in it's camp at Blanche, was ar
rested at the instance of Assistant
State Fire Marshal John G. Evans in
connection with two alleged incen-
diary fires at Blanche, in which prop
erty of the mining company was de-
stroyed On December 2S an attempt
was made to burn the bungalow occu-
pied by the president of the mining
company, but the fire was discovered
in time to. extinguish it. On January
9, however, second attempt resulted
in the destruction of the bungalow, the
incendiary having made sure of his
work by first cutting the hose used for
fire protection. A few days later the.
mine drumhouse was also burned.

Narrow Escape For Tax Bill.

Groggy from weeks rough hand
ling, the bill looking to a change in
Kentucky's tax system was saved
from a complete knockout in the
house by bare majority of four. A
motion to table the measure and all
amendments was defeated A to 40
The motion was made by Representa-
tive Greene, of Carroll county, after
Elwood Hamilton, of Frankfort, had
offered as substitute the original
measure drafted by the special tax
commission, of which he was a mem
Der. In his motion to substitute the
original bill for that drafted later by
a subcommittee of the house commit
tee on revenue and taxation, Repre-
sentative Hamilton said the latter
measure had been so emasculated and
altered by means of amendments that
it would be disgrace to place it upon
the statute books. He said it seemed
to be the wish of the majority of the
house membership to pass measure
that would relieve people from taxa
ton rather than one that would add
to the states revenue. AS last re-
sort, he said, in the hope that some
kind of tax measure may be passed
bon to. the senate he had offered as
skubstitute for the substitute the orig.
f1Ab bill This later was withdrawn
and the house adjourned with the is
sue still hanging fire.

1919, failed of the required constitu-
tional majority and was lost. Senator
Bosworth made strong appeal for the
passage of his bill. He pointed out
that the convention could not be held
before 1919, and that the sentiment of
this state was strongly in favor of it.
He declared that the state had made
absolutely no progress since the pres
ent constitution was adopted, and that
had it not been for Eastern Kentucky
and Louisville the state would have
shown an actual decrease In popula-
ton. He said the great Development

The farmer is often not only care
less as to where, when and how often
he gathers his eggs, but also as to
where he keeps them and how long
he holds them.
The country merchant is in many
instances to blame for the bad condi.
tion in which eggs reach the consumer
In many cases he receives the eggs
while in good condition, packs them in
cases and stores them under improper
conditions until a convenient time for
shipping. This condition should not
be permitted to exist. OF course, In
summer the average egg is naturally
of poorer quality than in spring and
winter, but they would reach the con.
sumner in much better condition than
they are now doing IL there were

to increase the power of Mayors in

Meyers bill the mayor would be given
the right to name and discharge mem

opponents of the measure contend this
would destroy that for which the com
mission form is supposed to stand,
placing too much power in the hands
of one man, and the enabling him to

contending that as the law now stands

Statistics show that ninety-seven out
of every hundred persons attending
the schools of Kentucky are, for one
reason or another, unable to complete
a higher course than that Of the rural
school or it's equivalent; therefore, it
is necessary that during the years
spent in school he be trained in the
fundamentals of all useful knowledge,
that he be prepared for life, that he
be given the proper aspect toward the
things which as a citizen he will be
called upon to do. For the ninety
seven who must leave school this
period of training can not be deferred.
Training for Home-Making.
All available data goes to prove that
the majority Of the women of the stats
will sooner or later be the directing
agents in their own homes. The only
institution which does and can offer
systematic, definite training for the
problems of the home, based on
science, is the school.
Why should women be trained for
home-making? Because the health
records show that a large percentage
of deaths among babies is preventable,
if the mothers are taught that dirty
and sour milk is dangerous; because
evidences from many sources bear I'M
mistakable proof that mental and
moral deficiencies are closely related
to proper feeding and physical we'll
being; because many of our most prev
alent diseases have their inducing
causes in the kind and quantity of food
on the family table. Women must de-
termine and select the food CT the fam
lily, care for its health and develop the
social and moral powers of those COM
posing their family group, it, therefore.

trained ~concisely to solve the problem
of maintaining home with a min

suits.
