DETECTIVES
Wanted For County Work and Lesis-
iature May Be Asked TO Make
Provisions for Such Next Year.


Should there be a special session
OF the legislature called by Governor
HATFIELD IL is very probable that he
will be asked TO include in that call
a clause providing for county detec-
tives. With conditions as they are
now and with the state going dry
soon. there will be greater need for
such officers then than before. Such
was the idea expressed by Prosecuting
Attorney X. NJ. Addleman some few
days ago when talked TO about the
matter
There are many things that 20 on
in the county that the general world
knows nothing about and the crimi-
nal makes his getaway or is enabled
to dodge the issue OF the law because
there are no officers of proper nature
scattered over the county. Prose-
cutor Addleman thinks that there
should be al least two or three coun-
~ detectives In every county and
thinks this number could well handle
the situation here. in connection with
the deputy sheriffs. West Virginia
is one Of the few states in the Union
that does not have county detectives
and there is a general opinion that
provision should be made TO cover
this condition.

SMALLPOX.

February IS, 1914.
To the health officials and people q
Kentucky
A few cases of smallpox exist in
most of the counties OF Kentucky.
This loathsome disease can only oc-
cur in people who have not been
vaccinated. Quarantine against
individual cases OF smallpox is ex.
pensive and useless, as it only gives
a false sense of security. 30 one
whe has been properly vacciuated
at least three places on the arm,
has ever had smallpox in Kentucky.
There has never been an arm nor a
lite lost from vaccination in Ken
lucky. Properly done BY a compe-
tent physician it is devoid OF dan.
ger, is inexpensive aud is the only
preventative against smallpox.
More money has been spent, most
OF it nselessly, in combating small
pox in the last few years in Ken.
lucky than has been expended in
thirty years in, protecting orr peo.
pie from typhoid lever, consump.
ton and the other common diseases
OF everyday life, and vet more
deaths have occurred from either
typhoid or consumption in the past
year than smallpox, yeliowNeyer
and cholera, combiued, have caused
in a century.
The Board is frequently asked
why the law requires vaccination at
three points an inch apart on the
arm. Because experience teaches
in Germany that no one having
three or more good scars has
had smallpox. Vacc,nUtion does
its work of protection through the
glands under the arm. Charging

As Npon as a case oi smallpox
occurs every individual exposed
should be promptly vaccinnted or
revaccinated and there should be no
second case ofthe disease: 1t is un.
necessary to quarantine the well,
providtd they have been successfully
vaccinated.
1t is a misdemeanor punishable
by a fine Of from 500 to ST., 900
for any one having an eruption
even resembling smallpox to go OH
any public street or road or auy
place where we'll people are. If the
court officials will enforce this law
and the one requiring vaccination,
they will actually put into practice
some real economy instead of the
variety it is popular to talk about
at election time. To prevent not
only smallpox, but the commom
and more dangerous diseases that
cause most of our sickness and
death in kentucKy, we need simply
real education, actual law enforce |
nent, and a health officer in each
who can devote his en-.
Ire time to, and earn a living by
sickness and death in.
stead of treating people for unne-
eSsary sickness.
1t is a violation of the law to be
lnvaccinated, and it is also unlaw.
ul for any person, firm or company

on IN any work for salary or wages

OPENING OF THE GRAND CIRCUIT

Cleveland, o., July CHARTERED at
the well appointed racing plant at
North Randall are practically all of
the trotters and PAGERS that are ex-
pected to make history this season.
The meeting which opened at the
track this afternoon marks the first
link Of the Grand Circuit and also the
opening of the season for the Great
Western Circuit, the two meetings
here being held in conjunction under
the auspices of the Forest City Fair
ard Live Stock Association. That this
is going to be season of remarkable
performances on the Grand Circuit no
one doubts. Seldom before have the
horses reached the big lines in such
excellent condition for the summers
campaign. Mcdonald, Geers, Murphy,
McDevitt, Cox and the other noted
trainers who are familiar figures on
the big circuit--all are here with their
strings of trotters and PAGERS,
