Urges Kentucky Democrats
to Favor State. Wide.

Washington, June l9.-The Republic
cans Of Kentucky, having declared, in
state convention, to be in favor of the
county unit and against state wide
prohibition, Rev. E. c. Dinwiddie,
legislative superintendent of the
Anti.Saloon League of America, was
moved today to give advice to the
Kentucky Democrats.
He said:
''Sinoe the Republicans have stood
pat on the county unit, If the Demo-
Gratis go along with what seems to be
the sentiment of the state and favor
statewide prohibition, unless Ken
lucky is vastly different from sur
rounding states, they will get enough
temperance Democratic votes to COM
pensate them for the loss of liquor
support and will have a good chance
to win at the November election.

uation existed in my own state (Ohio) a

HAS OWENSDORO

The Answer is Found in the
Straightforward Statement Of
An 0wensboro Resident.

We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Cloverport
citizens who have been rid of distressing
kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's

dered whether the same high opinion of

respected resident of Greensboro will set
this doubt at rest.

What the Bridegroom Pays For.

In the June Woman's Home Compan-
ion, which is called "The Brides Num-
ber," appears an article on wedding
etiquette. In the following extract TAX
Ell from the article the author tells what
the obligations of the bridegroom are
"The bridegroom, besides his present
to the bride, gives souvenirs to his ush-
ers, provides the bouquet for the bride,
flowers for her attendants and the bout
onniers of the ushers, which the bride
usually selects at the florists, He also
provides the wedding ring and pays for
the license, the fee to the minister, the
organist and sexton, but the best man
makes all the arrangements and gives
the fees in envelopes, that for the clergy
preferable in gold or new bank notes.
"The bridegroom also pays for the
carriage to take the bride and himself to
the station from the church or house,
and also that to convey the minister to
and from the church and the reception.
These details are arranged by the best
man, who attends to all travelling re-
quirements and sees that the notice of
the wedding appears in the morning
paper.

HARVEY AND THE BLOOD.
How His Theory Of Circulation Was
Born and Demonstrated.

1t was while studying ut Padua uD-
der professor who had discovered
the valves in the veins that Harvey
discovered the circulation of the blood.
He was curious to know what these
valves We're for. and. finding that they
all pointed in the same direction. he
could think of no reason for their ex-
istence unless II might be to prevent
the blood from flowing backward.
Placing ligature on his arm. he
found that one set of vessels. the ar
teries. became distended with blood on
the side nearest To the heart. while
the veins became distended with blood
on the side farthest from the heart.
This to him meant only that the blood
flowed from the heart through the ar
teries and back to the heart through
the veins. 1t also explained the beat
ing of the heart and the throbbing Of
the pulses.
But the medical and surgical world
received this epoch making discovery
with scorn. Harvey published book
on his discovery, and his practice fell
off considerably. Doctors scoffed, and
the public looked on him as Il crank.
1t was Il quarter of Il century after
the book appeared before the discovery
was accepted by the learned men Of
the world.-New York World.

JOHN JACOB ASTOR.

JOHN JACOB AsToR.
prior to Dec. 81 last 1t was on this
date that the accounts In the report
We're closed. The balance expended
has come from Mrs. Astor's private
purse.
She does not ask that the deficit be
refunded to her, but she leaves a way
open for such request to be made in
the future and also for the filing of Il
petition asking for larger mainte-
nance income.
Prophetic of such demand, Mrs.
AstOr calls attention to a provision in
the will of Colonel Astor, who met
a $3,OO0,0OO trust fund was set aside
for their child. The interest from this
amounts to $40, 700 year. Regarding
this income, she says, 1t is plain that
her husband intended the child to ell
Joy every comfort money could buy.
1.-THE necessary expenditures since
the birth of the infant to Dec. 81, 1914"
she reports, "for professional services
rendered the said infant by physicians
and lawyers. and for my bond as gen.
eral guardian, all paid by me. have
been upward of $4,000.
"FrOm an examination of the ac-
counts Of various merchants and others
with whom | have dealt. find that
there has been expended for clothing.

infant since the date Of his birth to

as am advised by my counsel. Hon.
Henry A. Gildersleeve, the said infant
might properly be charged.
"From this 1t would seem that the
expenditures | have incurred for the
benefit of my said infant are far in
excess of the moneys received by me-
by the provision made in the will
Of my late husband for the creation
OF trust fund of S3,O0OO00 for the
benefit of each child of mine that
might survive him it. clearly appears
that 1t was his intention to provide
sum for the maintenance and support
OF such infant ample to secure every
thing for the comfort, welfare and
education of such child that money
could provide"
Mrs. Astor then incorporates Sec

the trust funds are created. and con
tinues:

the trust created for the benefit of

the above quoted provision of the

husband. and verify believe that the
annual net income from said trust
amounts to the sum Of $4,000"

FINDS FEWER FAULTY SCALES
Inspector Boyer Reports Conditions Far
Better Than One Year Ago

The number of faulty weights and
measures now being used by Dauphin
county merchants, outside of the city,
has been reduced between sixty and
seventy per cent. in the last year, said
Harry A. Boyer. county inspector of
weights and measures, in report filed
to-day with the County Commissioners.
Boyer said the merchants themselves
are rallying to his aid in the war
against false weights and measures and
now they virtually are unanimous in
their endorsement of the commodities
act which establishes uniform sys-
TEN and revolutionizes the manner of
sales.
Many of the faulty scales, weights
and measures which the Inspector found
this year, he said, were simply in need
of little adjustment, and he thinks
it wise to permit their use at least for
one year, after adjustments have been
made.
In January, last, he made 677 in
speetions from which there resulted A
condemnations and 10 adjustments.
The February inspections totaled 493;
eontemnations, 60 and adjustments 8.

AN ALCOHOLIC ENIGMA
Fewer Persons Seem to Drink, Ye
More Liquor Is Consumed

1t is the testimony of the internal
revenue receipts of our own government
that, Notwithstanding the noteworthy
extension of the dry areas by reason of
Statewide prohibitions and local option
laws, consumption of alcoholic liquor
has greatly increased.
In addition to the dry areas estab
lished by political action 1--WE use the
term in its broad sense) there has been
wide promotion of personal abstinence
because Of rules against drinking es-
tablished by large employers of labor,
who realize the wisdom of guarding the
safety of employees and the public
against accident, as we'll as promoting
general efficiency
We know that in addition to these
powerful influences there has grown
up social opposition to Incorporate
habits that has wholesome effect
against oyerindulgence in Intoxicating
liquors and in favor of total abstinence.

sistent drinkers-the men who "make
