To Get Best Results From Vacation
the Surroundings Should Be New
and Interesting.

Sometimes It seems as if a course
of instruction in the complications Of
vacation taking should be established
for those deluded folk who year after
year return more tired and less fit
for work than when they left. Ex-
perts are needed to teach the philos-
ophy Of the vacation, to interpret it,
to tell what it is for and how it can
be made most effective.
A little light on the question is
gained by looking up the derivation
OF the word vacation" in the die
tionary. It's Latin root means "emp-
ty." Men first thought of vacations
as something that emptied the mind
of routine problems, perplexities, re-
sponsibilities and worries. The mod
ern world goes further and demands
that vacations be filled. The best va
cation is that which fills every day
with the thoughts that people have
no time to think at home-thoughts
of woods, fishing pools, green fields,
the song Of birds and lakes that
simmer lazily. Then from the va
cation is to be expected regenera-
ton that will send one back to his
work with a song in his heart,
strengthened to do useful tasks.
The most beneficial vacation is Sc
cured by as complete change as
possible. Mental and physical slim
illus is born in the shock of new
things, new thoughts, new sentiments
and desires.

A GOOD VACATION.

A good vacation is one that has g
soul in it. A purposeless vacation is
a waste of time. The purpose may
be absolute quiet and rest, but even
in that there should be the flavor of
some little. thinking about things
worth while. There is more to trav-
cling than just to go; We must 60
somewhere, and 90 for some purpose.
We must bring something back i'll
the way of a rested and invigorated
body, a refreshed and clarified mind,
an enlarged affection. We must go
somewhere where we can get infected
with good, as well as keep away from
places where we may be infected with
disease. To seek the conditions
where We can give something to 9th
ers is the only way to find the condi-
tons under which we can get any,
thing worth bringing home. If we
leave a good impression behind us at
the place Of our resort We cannot
avoid carrying away something good.
A good vacation is a golden rule va

When aHopkinsville citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timoLy is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is statement
of a Hopkinsville resident. No
stronger proof Of merit can be had.
Mrs. ]. H. Morris, 514 O'Neal ST.,
Hopkinsville, KY, says: 81 suffered
from severe pains in my back and
could find nothing that would do me
any good. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
highly recommended, / got a box.
They greatly benefited me-"
Mrs. Morris is only one of many
Hopkinsville people who have CRATE
fully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills.

kidney remedy-ask distinctly for

TESTING A NEW SEARCHLIGHT
New York Navy Yard, II Is Believed
Has the Most Powerful That Has
Yet Been Built.

The largest, electric lamp in the
world was lighted on a recent night
in the New York navy yard. The
beam of this giant searchlight, I'M
der favorable conditions, can be seen
more than one hundred miles away.
The new lamp is called the Beck
searchlight, and is the invention of
Heinrich Beck, a German scientist,
who is here conducting tests for the
United States government.
Measured at two. miles from the
lamp $50, 100000 candle power is OBJ
tanned from lamp with 44-inch
reflector. The present 44-inch lamp
in use on the worlds battleships gives
only 60,000,000 candle power. Fol
coast defense a 60-inch reflector is
now in use. Such reflector hitched
to the Beck searchlight gives 1000,
900, 900 candle power as against $780,
100000 candle power now obtain
able.
Germany is now busy building sew
eral hundred of the new Beck search
lights and if the tests here satisfy
the government it is likely that the
new lamp will replace the search
lights in use in the navy.

FIREMEN GET
THREE CALLS SAT-
URDAY MORNING
Millett House, Amherst Street,
Damaged-False Alarm from
Augusta State Hospital

| Saturday morning was a busy one for
the fire department in its early hours
! and the boys were called out three times
within four hours, although luckily none
of the calls were to a blaze of a very
serious nature.
The first call came at about 4 o'clock
from box 81 at the corner of Western ave-
niue and Amherst street, anu was due to
the discovery of fire in the dwelling
house of Archie Millett, Amherst street.
The teams made quick run and on ar
irving at the scene the fremen found
the fire to have started in closet in the
dining room, probably in the bottom of
the closet, some of the firemen on
looking in at the cellar windows saw the
fire dropping into the cellar. The fire,
which was supposed to have originated
from the chimney, worked its way up in
the partition next to the chimney and
along overhead between the ceiling and
the second floor. but was stopped after
an hour of lively work. The estimated
loss on account of the blaze is about $500
and is said to have been covered by m
surance, The all-out was sounded at
about 3 o'clock.

place. where the blaze had started up
again, but it was killed out in short or
der.
The third call came at al and was
pulled in at private box 46 at the Augusta
State hospital. and though the horses on
the several pieces of apparatus had
long, hard run of more than a mile. it
was said on the arrival of the depart
ment that the larm was a false one. No
one could be found who could give any
as to who pulled in the
alarm.
A report was current on the street soon
after the alarm was sounded that there
was a fire in the main building and a
later report that the souding of the alarm
was due to the upsetting of some fat on
a stove in the kitchen. but both of these
were denied by the authorities at the in
