ADVANCE IN VISITING
NURSE WORK

The Kentucky tuberculosis
Commission is greatly pleased
at the rapid advance made in Wis
iting nurse work in this State.
Eight months ago the first
visiting nurse established in the
field of this State, through the eff
forts of the Commission, began
work in Mason county. Most of
the people of the county did not
believe that a need for such
work existed until survey OF
the conditions was made by Miss
Emma Hunt, one of the Commits
Missions staff. Today Miss An
ME Casey, the permanent nurse,
is so overworked that her board
is planning to hire an assistant
nurse.
In the spring Miss May Bog
ard began a similar work in
Boyd county. Within the last
two weeks three permanent
nurses have begun work as a re-
suit of the Commissions efforts;
Miss Elizabeth Hunt, in Scott
county, Mrs. Harriet Minna-
maker. in Bourbon county, and
Miss Nellie Woodward, in Boyle
county.
Within the coming year the
Commission expects to reach at
least twelve additional counties,
in this way.

WHAT is ADVERTISING?

John Morgan Richards, an
business man now re-

subject of advertising, said;
"'What is advertising? / have

be given by any human being.

word. Others associate with it
nothing but vulgar acclaim. For
my part, I say it is the live wire
of all commerce, all enterprise,
all progress in every department
of the worlds work. 1t is the live
wire of thrones. of Parliaments,
of republics and Congresses, the
live wire of the bench, the bar,
and the pulpit; of the statesmen,

is the live wire of the army and

of communication between ma
tons and peoples. There may be
other names for it. but it is adj
vertising lust the same"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

LEGISLATION ON
TUBERCULOSIS

Legislation dealing with tuber-
culosis has been enacted in 48
States and territories of the Unit
ed States, according to a COM
prehensive bulletin on this sub
ct soon to be published by the
National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. Only in the States Of
Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wyo-
ming, and Alaska, has the sub
ject been given no legislation
consideration.
State tuberculosis senatorial to
the number of ~ have been es-
tablished in 80 different states.
Special laws providing for the
establishment of local hospitals
by municipalities or counties
have been passed in ID states. In
"a states laws are in force pro-
|viding for reporting and registra.
ton of living cases of tubercu-
losis. In four states, New York,
New Jersey, Wisconsin and Min
nesota, special laws have been
enacted giving state and local
health authorities power to re-
move and detain tuberculous
persons who menace the health
of their families or associates.
Six states, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Minnesota, New York and
Texas have laws which give the
people the privilege of voting at
general or special elections on
the establishment of county or
municipal tuberculosis hospitals.
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Wisconsin and Washing
ton grant subsidies ranging from
$500 to $500 per week to such
local hospitals. Laws prohibit
ing splitting in public places have
been enacted in more than 20
states.
Commenting on the problem
of state legislation as it affects
the prevention of tuberculosis,
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis says, "A law providing
for the reporting and registration
of every living case of tubercu-
losis is fundamental to any
thoroughgoing campaign against
this disease. Without a knowl-
edge of the location of every
case of tuberculosis the disease
cannot be controlled. Of equal
importance also is legislation
which gives cities, towns and
counties the authority to estab-
fish and maintain local hospitals
for tuberculous cases. The con-
troll of tuberculosis is a local
problem. EVERYTHING possible
should be done to provide insti-1
buttons easy of access, especially
for advanced cases

THE TEMPERANCE
CANDIDATE


candidate for the Senate. Beck
ham, whom the whiskey men de-
feated in the Legislature after the
will of the people had demanded
his election, is again candidate
and the whiskey men are again
seeking to defeat him. He is oui
man. We must back him up.
1t has been thrown in the teeth
of the temperance people that
they do not stand by their friends
as the whiskey people do. If we
don't, we'll soon have no friends.
1t is well known that there is an
overwhelming majority in this
State, in this district, in this
county, for temperance. Our
standard-bearers have right to
expect to be nominated and elect
ed. Beckham staked his political
future on the temperance cause.
He lost, but has remained true to
us. Shall we let him lose again
No! We must send Beckham to
the Senate and Thomas to the
House.
Some gentlemen get very i'm
patient over the temperance issue.
Thy say that it has no business in
politics. They had as well save
their breath to cool their por-
ridge. 1t is in the politics of Ken
lucky and it is going to stay
there. The temperance Demo
Gratis have strength enough to
keep it there, whether they win
every time or not. It's going to
stay right there, and it's going to
be one of the biggest issues every
time, and the days in office of any
politician who goes up against it
are numbered. Eventually every
man in this State who stands
again st the temperance cause will
be retired to private life.
We temperance people ought
to be good-tempered and fair in
making our campaign. We ought
to remember that there are a lot
of good citizens on the whiskey
side and that they have just as
good a right to their opinion as
we have to ours. Beware of
fanaticism.
I concede the absolute right of
any citizen to fight for the wills
key cause and concede that he
may be fully as conscientious in
his belief that the whiskey evil
can best be managed through
open saloons as we temperance
folks are in our belief that it can
best be handled by shutting
them up. | have entire respect
for many men who believe in
open saloons, and who say so.
We all have a right to our own
opinions and the majority, under
our form of government, decides.
The only folks havn't much
stomach for are those who affect
to be what they are not:

The Department of Commerce has
found out how the cost of living has
been soaring since 1890. The re-
port presents for each of forty of the
most important industrial cities in
the various sections of the United
States the retail prices of the princi-
pal articles of food. Taking 100 as
a base average price for the 8 prin-
cipal articles of food in all the cities
the comparisons of some are as fol-
lows: The price of sirloin steak in
creased over 70 per cent; round
steak, over 100 per cent; rib roast
rose from SO in 1890 to ia in 1913;
pork chops from 90 to 232; bacon
from 90 to 233; ham from 9S to 1856;
lard from SO to 16S; hens from 1O2
to 172; flour from 10 to 1876; corn
meal from 1O1 to 1853; eggs from
100 to 212; butter from 80 to 1853;
potatoes from 100 to 173, and milk
from 100 to 141. Sugar showed the
only decrease, and this amounted to
about 20 per cent. We hope they
will stop investigating and not ind
any more increase.

Problem OF The Unemployed.

The federal commission of indus
trial relations has inaugurated an in
vestigation of the problem of unem-
ployed in the large cities of the coun-
try with the hope of finding some
way in which they may be given work
and compensation. This is a large
task and one that presents many
difficulties. There are of course
many lines of industry, like construc-
ton work, that necessarily stop with
the coming of cold weather and
throw thousands of 'workmen out of
employment. To find profitable and
agreeable work for such a horde is
not quickly done. The rural indus
tries which demand more men than
they can find during the summer do
not need these men in winter. Few
sufficiently to provide employment of
such large numbers during the win
ter months and let this equipment
lie idle during the long summer sea-
SOu- II has DCGn buSSGoLSQ LndL lllS
combination of businesses OF periodi-
cal activity, such as coal and ice
might give continuous employment.
Probably it could to a few, but they
would, be only small proportion of
the thousands now idle. We would
suggest the migration OF construc-
ton laborors to different sections of
the country, to the South in winter
and North in summer, as a relief to
construction workers.
The steady employment of laborers
would be of untold benefit to indus
try. A few months of labor during
the open season followed by months
of idleness and debauchery that is
the natural result of idleness greatly
reduces the vitality and strength of
laborers. This reduction of physical
condition greatly increases the ranks
of the incompetent that soon fall
upon the municipality for support and
adds enormously to the expense of
pauperism. The problem is of such
Importance that it warrants thor
ough and impartial investigation.
