AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
It is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's Ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and IN some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

First In The Ring.

The Hon. J. B. Allensworth, who
way formerly a resident of Paducah,
and a practicing attorney at this bar,
but now lives in Hopkinsville, is a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for commemorative attorney
in the Third Judicial district, in
which district are the counties of
Christian, Trigg, Lyon and Galloway,
and in a statement made to a rep
resentative of the News-Democrat
he said that he was in the race to re-
main until the polls closed on the
primary election day in August, 1915,
and that there would be no POSSIBLE
ity of his mote being a candidate on
that day, unless death interviewed.
Mr.. Allensworth is thoroughly COM
petent lawyer and reliable gentle
man While the present common
wealth attorney, Mr.. Denny P.
Smith, was candidate for attorney
general, and while he was also a
candidate for congress, Mr.. Aliens
worth acted for him as common
wealth's attorney and made a most
acceptable and painstaking official.
He has been a practicing attorney
for twenty-five years andi is recogniz-
ed as one of the leading lawyers in
his district and has many friends in
all four counties.-Paducah News

tTHE CIPHER MOVES SIPHON.
Signs and Queer Movements
Used in Gaining Entrance to
Secret Liquid Places.
If a-body meet a-body
Loaded up with rye,
May a-body ask a-body:
us Memphis really dry?"


The Grand, Un-Amalgated. Dis
Association of Dis-Organized Tanks
has recently been formed in Mem
phis through the course of circum-
stances over which the members of
the dis-organization have little or no
control.
Memphis went dry, officially. five
years ago and again on March 1.
Members of the DISCRIMINATION
did not, but the only reason they
haven't is that most Of the members
have burdened their brains with
signs and signals which operate as
"sesames" in gaining admittance to
the places where thirst may be
quenched by the alleged cheering dis
tillations and brews which members
of the dis-association look upon as
not the staff of life, but as the ne
penthe of existence.
The men who operate the cooling
places are naturally cautious. Not
one of them seeks the dubious, al
though somewhat exclusive honor,
of the position OF, head water boy at
the workhouse. In fact they are
generally so modest that they use
many ways to avoid having that hon.
or thrust upon them, or rather, be-
ing thrust into the honor. One of
these ways consist in the course of
signals which have been invented so
that members Of the dis-association
may enter withinmystic portals.
OF course as thesesignals are made
known only to the initiate of the G.
u. D. d. rs. one may only give them
upon hearsay report. But here are a
few of the signals and passwords of
the disorganization. The signals
differ in each place, it is said.
For instance, in one place one en-
tiers upon a cigar stand. If one
knoweth not, he simply buys cigar.
If he knows he remarks to the man
behind the counter: Gee, it's hot
today" YES" responded the man.
81 believe I'll go inside and cool off"
A door opens. The initiate enters.
In another place, this soft drink
place, one who knows calls for bot
tie or Brewette. If he knows not,
he gets Brewette, but if he adds the
words, with the label off," to his
order, he gets-something else.
AS member of the dis-organiza-
ton phrased the matter: "A man
who doesn't believe in signs must stay
dry. He certainly must. But it is
easy to learn 'em, mighty, mighty
easy!"-Commercial Appeal.

KNAPP SCHOOL Of
COUNTRY LIFE
First Institution Devoted Ex-
CIusIveIy to Rural Life.

When a school sets out to be prac.
teal. TO teach people how to practice
best the things they must practice in
some sort every day Of their lives, the
thing that bulks largest before that
school Is country life. At least. that
Is the view taken by the men who
worked out the plan of George Peabody
College For Teachers, at Nashville,
Tenn. when 1t began trying to be prac-
teal.
First. 1t Is named the Seaman A.
Knapp School of Country Life; second,
It Is the first school ever established in
the world devoted exclusively to the
study Of country life problems; third,
it has enough money back Of 1t, Sc
curely invested, to work steadily and
definitely toward whatever end 1t has
in view.
Those are the things that the Seaman
A. Knapp School OF Country Life is.
The thing it proposes to do is this:
The Knapp School of Country Life
Is not an agricultural college. 1t teach
rs agriculture, to be sure, but as a
part of the general scheme of life in
the country. 1t teaches the making OF
farm homes quite as much as ii does
the making of farm crops. 1t teaches
rural credits and rural culture. 1t
teaches how to get the biggest returns
from work in the country and then
how to apply those returns to get the
most possible out of living in the
try. 1t seeks. in short. to put the peo-
PIE who live in the country in position
to enjoy to the full the matchless pos
sibilities of life in the country.
The physical means of attaining that
result are to be Il building on the cam
pus OF George Peabody College For
Teachers, designed and equipped for
Just this kind of work. and a farm of
200 acres some miles away. 1t is not
an experimental farm. 1t Is a farm on
which students are shown how to dc
the things they are taught in the class
rooms-the demonstration idea of DR..
Seaman \. Knapp, in honor of whose
work the school is named.
The farm buildings are not to be par
ticularly fine. They are intended to be
just the best type of buildings ecOnom-
ically possible on a farm of 200 acres,
neither more nor less than that. They
are the kind of buildings that can be
reproduced on the farms of the south.
A primary school-just a district
school-is maintained adjacent to the
farm. Its pupils are not selected.
They are the kind of pupils the country
teachers have in charge everywhere.
The school building and grounds are
not costly. They are the kind Of build
ing and grounds a district school ev-
erywhere may have. But they are
made the nos of. All their pOssibili- |
ties are realized. They can be repro
duced in any country community, CIV
ing the best practically possible in
rural school equipment
Those are the physical means. The
mental means comprise a corps of prac- |

beetles sally forth and begin eating the
young alfalfa plants and laying eggs
on the alfalfa stems. A tremendous
number Of eggs are laid. The eggs
hatch tn about ten days. and the
young larvae or worms begin at once
to eat the leaves Of alfalfa. When the
worms are full grown they are about
one-fourth Of an inch long, with a
white stripe down the back, as shown
in Fig. .. The worms attack alfalfa
so severely that often it does not grow
tall enough to cut.
Larvae are most abundant in May,
and gradually decrease in numbers by
entering the pupa. or cocoon, stage as
June advances. They soon transform
into the adult or beetle stage. The
beetles become more and more numer-

but the covering of the stems as we'll.
They stay on the job until cold
weather comes, crawl into shelter for
the winter and are on hand to lay
eggs again in the spring. When the
