Kentucky, And.
Then after it studies the fore.
going propositions and compare
son, let it do something to kill off
the manufacture of liquor and to
stbp the liquor traffic.
The bread of the people is be-
ing burned into whlskey. We
have no statistics before us CIV
ing the amount of corn and bar
ley raised in Kentucky, nor the
amount of native corn and barley
that is converted into alcoholic
liquors, but we know without sta
tistics that the amount is very
large one.
When that which is essential
to the proper nourishment of the
people is taken from them and
converted, into something that is
highly detrimental 10 them, both
physically, mentally morally, 1t
is high tame for the Legislature
to interfere and to prohibit the
manufacture of alcoholic bever-
ages.
A large portion of the best
farming land of the state of Ken
lucky is devoted to the raising Of
tobacco, which gives no nOurish-
ment to the people. This reduces
the acreage of corn and barley.
Then W hen it is taken in cOnsld-
Grafton the large amount of corn
and barley converted into stimu-
lating drinks, it may be readily
seen that fully one.half of the
state of Kentucky is gwen over
to an industry that cannot be
profitable to, the state in any
way. That which degrades and
lowers the citizenship of a state,
is highly inipicable to its prog
ress. "a -.
George AIDE says that when a
mar has to buy back his self-re-
kpect, abe price is never too high.
Itmay cost the State of Kentucky
something ip. actual dollars and
cents to prohibh the manufacture
vi liquors in it's borders, but tie
price will not be too great for it
10 pay to purchase back hts self
respect. The amount paid out
annually for intoxicating liquors
would cbthe, feed and educate
every child in the state of Ken
lucky to,the highest point of ELI
cheney and good citizenship.

Cash without Discount.

count. The State HASN'T the
money, but John Q. q, Mayo has
agreed to pay them the ready
cash without discount if they
will send their checks to the
Paintville National Bank at
Paintville. This is certainly a
most generous act on the part of
Kentucky's money king. If more
men of wealth would perform
more deeds of real charity like
this, they would be regarded as
a benefit to society rather than a
menace.

SANITARY SCIENCE
AND WASHTUBS
Post Investigates Snow White
Laundry

The claim in which the grouchers
delighted for SO many years-that
man s ingenuity was seldom exer-
cised in the home-has died with
the last generation. The world is
filed with devices to tighten the
work of the housewife, yet to many
the weekly washday remains a
bug-a-boo worthy OF an earlier day.
Such busy time it is III most
homes. that everybody's comfort
and pleasure becomes secondary to
the laundress at large, who rules
the house for several hours. Yes
indeed. "blue' Monday and wash
dav to many housewives are syn
onymous terms. ..
And by the way, did you ever
wonder how the idea came about
that in all well-ordered houses,
Monday must be the washday?
Have you read the story OF how the
women after their tedious voyage
in the Mayhower, were roWea TO
land and deposited by a fresh
wafer stream on Monday, in order
that they might wash the clothes
"The only thing I have against tne e
nilerims'' one young housekeeper
was heard to remark, Us that as
soon as they reached this country
thev made hard and fast rule that
Monday should be the wash day.
Whv on earth the day following
Sabbath and delightful weekend
trips should be doomed to receive
the epithet of blue Monday is
more than can understand.
But the world is moving on, ana
a few short years promise to make
our ills of different nature any
wav. The misery of washday mas
already disappeared. Why not take
the clutter, the slop, the steam ana
tbe mnss of washday to one large
room instead of scattering neon
yenience throughout scores OF
homes? So some ingenious people
aroned the principle OF efficiency

HudI tclS WHICH, Ine management
considers merely temporary. The
equipment consists OF ten tubs and
one extractor, which on Monday of
last week turned out 10 family
washes. The visitor cannot fail
to be impressed by the judgement
displayed by all handling the
clothes.
The bags coming in from the
wagons are sorted by an exper-
fenced person who recognizes the
possibilities Of fading, tearing, etc.
or the various garments. A num-
bered wooden tag is attached to the
laundry bag, one placed with the
white clothes, another with the col
ored clothes, and a fourth reserved
Tor any articles that may be too
badly solled to go with the regular
wash. Any pieces of lingerie or
lace, whose delicacy suggests the
necessity for special care, are tied
IN strong white mesh bag, before
oelng put IN the tubs.
The washing machines, large
wooden affairs, resembling in shape
some huge churns, are divided into
four compartments. The outer sec
ton is partly filled with water,
and through this revolves the inner
part in which the clothes have been
placed. Each machine is divided
into four compartments by which
the various washes are kept entire
ly separate.
A wash is placed in each Of
these compartments and the pro-
cess begins The interior of the
tubs is lined with ribs something
like a wash board, except that each
is 3 or 4 inches in width, fastened
in the middle only, and serves as
scoop to throw the water over the
clothes. The machine revolves, II
times one direction, II times an
other, dashing the water through
the clothes, first from one side and
then from the other. The first
process consists in turning the
clothes i'll this way, in order to wet
them thoroughly, through cold
water for five minutes. The water
is changed to temperature of
212 degrees and the clothes dashed,
in the same way through this for 30
minutes. Dippers of liquid made
by dissolving Proctor and Gamble
soap, is added in this process. Clear,
soapless, boiling water is used the
third time, and the clothes dashed
for a period Of ten minutes, follow
ing which they are put through
two changes Of cold water for the
same length of time, the last con,
tanning bluing. There seems nc
possible way in which the clothing
can be torn, unless it is so old that
it will bear no handling. .
Instead of the old-fashioned
wringer, an extractor" is used
One wash at time is placed in the
metal compartment which is per,
forated with large holes. The yes
sci revolves at the rate Of 1850 rev
olutions a minute, creating force
which causes a strong suction
by which the water is drawn into
the outer compartment. The gar
ments are taken from the extractor
and placed in the numbered bag
for delivery. There is such little
water about them that they vii
dry, when hung out, in a very
short time.
One day week is devoted tc
washing woolen blankets, the
charge for which is fifteen cents
for double ones or per pair OF SIN
gle ones, ten cents for single ones
A special day is also specified fol
the washing of overalls at five

PROSPECTS FOR EARLY
AGREEMENT ON PEACE
PLAN ARE NOW dim
BY LAURENCE TOD.
STAFF Correspondent.


MEDIATION HEADQUARTERS,
Clifton Hotel. Niagara Falls, ont, May
8O.@Prospects Of an early agreement
upon terms OF a protocol are dim to-
day, as the full significance of the
message received by the mediators
from Gen. Carranza appears.
The Mexican federals. armed with
Gen. Huerta's formal acceptance of
the terms proposed TO him on Wednes-
day are no longer confident of getting
away By the middle of next week.
Neiher are the South American dip
lomats. Twice yesterday they voted
among themselves that they would not
hear the Carranza statement, knowing
its purpose. After an hours argu-
ment with the American delegates,
they surrendered. Carranza became
a definite factor in the proceedings.
The program had TO be rewritten TO
meet his views.
The outcome is counted a victory
for the constitutionalists. Questions
which Mexican national pride declares
TO be wholly internal-the form OF
government TO he set up now and in
the future and the land legislation to
be passed by that government-are to
be left TO Mexico. On that under
standing conference will go forward.
