Horse Loss in War Great.

The waste of horses for cavalry
and artillery in war exceeds 80 per
cent in the Crimean war it rose to
so p 4r cent, while in the Beer war
the percentage was almost as heavy
1t is oo1servstively stated that there
are a million horses engaged in the
European struggle. A statement
m 4de in a magazine devoted to the
horse estimates the number of horses
available in Germany at $50 600 as
against mO6iliz ,tion that calls for
$50 900. France is reported to be
40 coo short Of her full complement
Of remounts. ard the fact that most
nations keep only two-thrds of the
number of horses necessary in pro-
p rtion to the number of men en-
re ed suffices to show that the rush
already begun to get horses in the
United States will soon become q
serious matter.

TWO GAMES
THIS WEEK
High School Played Princeton
Yesterday and Meets Owens
borO Saturday.

The local High School football
eleven left yesterday at noon for
Princeton to play the High School
team of that city. Although conf.
dent of victory, the team looked
forward to a hard fought game.
The Princeton game has always been
a strenuous one for the Orange and
Black. Possibly no other team has
played to close score so consistent
ly, and the Hopkinsville aggrega.
ton has been able to maintain an
unbroken string of victories only by
the greatest exertion. Last year the
game there was won in the last min
ute by drop kick for a 10 to 7
score; here 6 to 0 victory was all
the High School could obtain.
Princeton has this year the best team
in her history, having 10 of her
former team back.
Those who went out on the team
were P. Roberts, Higgins, Lackey,
A. Radford, Weaks. Moss. Weaver,
Sserritt, Dabney, Lander, Breathitt,
Moseley, j. Roberts, coach Witnell.
Manager Cyrus Radford.
The Greensboro team. which is the
next antagonist of the Orange, is one
OF the fastest teams in the state, and
will make a high bid for champion.
ship honors this fall. She showed
her strength Saturday by defeating
the strong Evansville team 1912.
The Greensboro papers claim that
they will make Undressing for their
old Hopkinsville rivals on Saturday.
and predict it as the hardest game
of the season.

Easy to Avoid Colds.
kansas City Starr.

Once more the season of frequent
colds has come. Everybody ought to
know how to avoid colds, but the
number who bark and shuttle proves
that the simplest precautions either
aren't understood or else aren'tprac-
ticed. ,Fallacy about cold is that it
should be kept heated. Fresh air,
fresh air and still more fresh air is
the best preventive of colds. It's the
sharp contrast between the stuffy air
of overheated rooms with their bill
lions of flying dust specks and bac-
terra, and the cool outdoors that
chiefly breeds colds. You may get a
cold while breathing fresh air, but it
won't be the fresh air that causes it.
Did you ever see hunter, woodsman
or primative Indian with cold? Fall
lacy two is that you should feed"
that is, gorge cold. Of course, you
must eat. But don't overeat. And
be doubly careful that the bodily ex-
ertions aren't interrupted. If you
must eat more than usual, put the
emphasis on fruits. Drink copiously
and frequently of pure water is a
good medicine for cold-much bet.
ter than whisky.
But the best cure is to be so care
full with exercise, eating and ventil-
alton that cold won't have anything
to do with you. Walk more, open
the windows more, drink more water
and avoid dope.

SEEING THE LIGHT

Only few months back the tariff
was going to ruin our wooden manu-
facturers. but now that tho tears have
all been shed, the wailing hushed,
and the bunk finally dropped, what
do we find? The Cleveland (Ohio)
Worsted Mills company. for example,
shakes off despair and proceeds to
increase. its capital stock from three
million dollars to ten. Instead of
retiring from business, 1t talks this
way:
Recent tariff legislation has
brought about change in business
conditions in connection with our in.
dustry. 1t will be necessary for the
company to enlarge the volume of
business, thereby requiring addition
al manufacturing facilities"
This is precisely what President
Wilson meant when he spoke of re-
leasing the energies of the nation.

pany is to be congratulated on catch
