TURNING TO OLD REMEDIES
Popular Demand Nowadays Is Mere
and More for the Herbs Used by
Our Grandmothers.

Diet, pure food, pure air and less
worry constitute the favorite pre-
scription of doctors in this progress
sive day, says Leslie's. And we are
having a revival of the old-fashioned
remedies of our mothers and grand
mothers who depended upon natures
herbs for most of their medicines.
Never before has there been such a
demand for pennyroyal, peppermint,
wintergreen, gold thread and other
simple remedies of the old days, and
all of these enter into numerous pop
ular indictments. Now comes the
discovery that by careful refining
of crude oil, a tasteless, colorless
product can be evolved that will act
as an internal lubricant for the hui
man system. This was a Russian
medical discovery and the oil re-
ceiyed the name Of Russian OIL" 1t
was obtaining worldwide fame when
the war broke out and interfered
with our foreign trade. American
ingenuity met the demands of the
emergency and replaced Russian oil
with a product from the laboratories
Of our own chemists. So with ma
lures herbs and the products Of ma
lures distillation, Providence adj
ministers its healing remedies to suf-
fering mankind and leaves less for
the doctors to do.

GOOD ROADS ARE INCREASING
United States Leads France In Miles
of Improved Highways-State
Aid Now In Effect.

According to the Good Roads Yeai
Book of the American Highway asso-
citation, recently issued, America now
has 5000 miles more of good roads
than France, the total for this coun-
try now amounting to $1,000 miles. OF
this 5000 miles were built in 1912 and
about 5000 in 1914, making a total Of
over one-third OF the entire mileage OF
the good roads OF the country.
New Jersey was the pioneer state to
provide state aid for public highways,
in 1891, and Massachusetts and Con
necticut soon followed, but it is only
during the last ten years that the
state aid policy has been in effect &c
any considerable extent.

BACK TO FLINT AND FINDER
Soldiers in tho Trenches In Europe
Use Ancient Methods for Pro
duclng Necessary Fire.

There are many ways in which old
and almost forgotten methods of
warfare have been adapted to mod
ern use in the trenches, the hand
grenade, the catapult, and even ar
NOR having been found efficacious in
many instances.
Soldiers in the trenches, who have
the very newest inventions in their
equipment, are very glad to go back
to the old flint and finder boxes, be-
cause they can't use the matches, for
they suffer so much from the damp
in the trenches that they are soon
rendered useless. To meet this diff
Guilty the old flint and finder boxes
are being supplied to the soldiers and
the sailors. Another good thing
about the finder fire is that it does
not blow out in the wind as a match
does, and does not show a fame to
attract the enemy's attention.
A specially planned finder box is
being prepared for use in the British
army and navy. 1t is small and COM
pact, only half an inch deep, and
contains 71a-inch fuse, or length
of prepared finder, a shaped section
of flint, and hard steel. Inside the
lid of the box are printed instruc.
tons for getting light.

MANY STATES USE coNvIcTs
Different Systems Of Employing Prison
Labor on Public Highway Improve
ment Is Described.

Thirty states at the beginning OF
the present year had on their statute
books laws providing for the employ
ment of state prisoners in road build
ing. Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisi-
ana, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New
Jersey, New Mexico. Ohio, Oregon, Vir-
ginia and Washington follow practical
ly the same system, providing that the
control of this work shall be vested
in the state highway commission.
The highway commission or state en-
gineer makes requisition for such
number of prisoners as he can use
effectively, and the prison authorities
turn over to him such prisoners as
are suitable for the road work.
The prison commission or board of
control of state institutions is held
responsible for the development of
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-07-20

the convict road work in some nine
states-Colorado Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan, Missouri, North Da-
kota. Oklahoma and Wisconsin. State
prisoners are turned over to the coun-
ty authorities to be worked on the
county roads in Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
This system is not approved by the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor, which holds that the
state under no circumstances is justi-
fled in delegating the responsibility
for its convict wards to county au-
thoTities
The system in New York state d.
vides the responsibility for the con-
struction work and maintenance of
the camps between the state highway
department and the commissioners of
the counties in which the roads are
to be built, with the state superintend-
ent of prisons in final authority. In
Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming
the highway department and the pris-
on department cooperate in the con-
troll of this work. The prison depart
ment is fully responsible for the care
and discipline of the prisoners, while
the road department is called upon to
do the work which it is equipped to
do, the building of roads.
The committee has found this lat
ter system essential to the successful
development of convict road work.
The prison department is in posi-
tion to care for the prisoners and to
handle such matters as food, clothing,
housing, medical attention, the afford
ing of educational facilities and recre.
alton.

By June 9th, twenty more were up
from the one-inch depth, and nineteen
from the two-inch planting.
At the end of five years the remain
ing seed were dug up. OF the three
inch planting, one-fourth grew; one
sixth of the five-inch seed; one-fourth
of the seven-inch. and nearly one-half
of the ten-inch seed terminated.
From this it is plain that the best
way to get rid of mustard seed is
to get them within an inch or two
of the surface. so that they will germ
mate, and then kill the plants while
small.

HOW TO PREVENT THE RUNTS
Test Their Eating Capacity Separate
iy and Then Feed Each Bunch
Of Pigs by Themselves.

Some pigs are born runts; some are
not born runts. but for no apparent
reason grow up that way and are out
stripped by the rest of the litter. A
correspondent to an Eastern farm
paper states that this is due to the
fact that some pigs are much faster
eaters than others. Some pigs eat
and drink very slowly. The slow
eaters are invariably the runts If all
are fed together.
When there is q marked difference
in the growth of bunch Of pigs the
thing to do is to test their eating ca
pacity separately and then feed each
kind by themselves. II this rule were
followed not only with hogs. but with
other live stock. there would be few
er poorly developed animals.

What's the Use?

Last week we asked that ques-
tion and gave many reasons for
our belief that it is but a waste
of time and money on the part
of whiskey men to fight against
the increasing tide that is beat
ing down their business. All who
read daily papers that oppose
booze have seen how many con-
Germs have posted notices that
their employees must either cut
booze outor give up their jobs.
Since our last issue, all the man.
ufacturers in another Pennsylva-
mia town-Milton have declared
that none of their men may use
liquors and keep their jobs.
These level headed employers
realize that the Safety First"
sentiment that is becoming more
and more popular with both en-
'ployer and employee is a farce as
long as intoxicants find their way
into the brains Of the workmen.

120 rods along the side of the
road, and ordered every two to
take a tree, and about eight or
ten rods between each couple,
with strict orders to keep a re-
serve fire, or not to fire until his
companion had reloaded his gun.
By this means we kept a constant
slow fire upon them from front
to rear. They called out pray,
gentlemen, what would you have
US to do?' We replied: collect
your loads to the front and un-
load them in one place; take your
own private property and imme-
diately retire. When they were
gone we destroyed what they
left" /" What a victory without a
battle, and yet, if those employ

tired, they would all have been

this victory, but never thought
of what took place in their an
cestor's days.

FORMER FULTON COUNTY TEACHER.
Mr.. Moses Hill Passes Peacefully to
Rest at His Home in Illinois on
Tuesday of Last Week.
Written by Gideon l. covalt.

Written by Gideon l. covalt.
Moses Hill, son of Morgan
and Mary Hill, was born in Beth
ell township, this county, April 20
1860, and died at his home in Blue
Mound, ILL.,, Tuesday, February
2, 1915, aged 81 years, 8 months,
and IL days. The funeral services
were conducted from the Christ.
ian church, of which he had been
a member for thirteen years, and
a large concourse of sorrowine
friends braved the inclemency OF
the weather to be present a
these last sad rites.
When a young man, he went
to Illinois, and after staying there
but a short time, went to Missou-
ri, Oklahoma, and other parts of
the then far West, contracting in
his journeyings, chills and fever.
This caused him to return to his
home in this county for a time.
AS he was recovering from the
chills, he found that one of his
arms was slightly paralyzed, and
this condition continued to grow
worse, and little by little he be-
came almost entirely helpless, his
tongue so paralyzed that he could
not carry on a conversation.
During the l"ct few months his
health seemed somewhat improv-
ed, when death came unexpect-
edly.
The deceased was married to
Miss Rachael Plessinger, and to
this union two children were born
Elmer, of Blackwood, N. j.,
and Ethel, who with her mother,
died seventeen years ago. Of his
brothers and sisters, only three
survive, namely, Oliver Hill, and
Mrs. George Wilson, of Bethel
township, and Miss Mary Hill,
Blue Mound, Ill.
Of his Christian life, his ideal
was Christ, and it was his one
and only ambition to be like Him.

Mr.. Post, the promoter of our

audience fine talk on the ad-
vantages that a railroad would
secure for practically all of the
County. There is not any ques-

territory being able to double
the amount of freight now
offered from the west side of
Cove mountain. Mr.. Ross's let
ter in another column of this pa

DR.. Conard left some good i'm
pressions on the minds of the
farmers about the selection and
raising of calves. Animals that
chew the cud have a different ar
rangement of stomach from
that of other farm stock, and for
this reason, calves should never
be given any solids like bran,
chop, &c., with their drink
whether it be milk, or water.
Teach the calf to eat ground or
whole grain at the proper time,
but never, under any circumstan-
ces, mix them with the calf's
milk or water.
