The accompanying photograph of Governor Whitman of New York, one of his latest and best, was taken a few days ago when he took part in the exercises at Pelham Bay park, New York, in connection with the turning over to the International Gar den club the seventeen acres sur rounding the historic Barton Manor House, to be used as a public park. Before 5000 persons the governor planted a small oak tree to replace the famous treaty oak, recently de- stroyed by lightning. The treaty oak was planted in 1884, when the Pell family obtained the property from the Indians for $17. It is possible that Governor Whitman will testify in the Barnes-Roosevelt libel suit now on trial in Syracuse, N. Y.

AUTOMOBILE DEPARTMENT
CONTRIBUTES $4,000

The Automobile Department at
Frankfort will contribute to the
State road fund for the year 1915
about 100000. This is double the
receipts of any previous year.
When the 1915 plates were or
dered, more than year ago, it was
estimated that 10000 pairs would
be sufficient but more than 1880
have already been issued.
The total receipts of the Office to
date this year are 100000 and this
would have been very materially in
creased but from the fact that
$500 old cars and all new cars
have paid only the proportionate
part Of the fee for the license to
run to January 1st, 1916. When the
acts of the General Assembly of
1914 became effective there were
5,760 licenses that did not expire
January 1st, but ran into 1915.
These were the Series "G' licenses
with tags Of black with letters in
white. This has caused much con-
fusion as there were two kinds Of
tags good during the first six months
of 1915 and many people were lab
oring under the mistaken impression
that large number Of cars were
being operated on improper licenses.
This confusion was removed on
June 10th when all tags now in use
should show the date "1915" on the
right hand end of the plates.
Local officers in many places are
arresting all motorists seen with
improper tags, and to avaid trouble
all drivers should see that cars are
registered for this year and are
carrying tags with a white back
ground with red letters.
In 1916 when all cars now in the
State must renew their licenses and
pay the full fee for the year there
should be collected for the highways
of the State not less than $175,000
and probably much more.

Frame Houses.

The life of frame house de-
pends in measure upon the quality
Of the material used in its construc-
tion. Some houses built twenty
years ago are better investments
today than many dwellings put up
recently. Tests have shown that
some old woods are stronger than
new. With age, wood undergoes
hardening process. There is one
sure way to determine whether the
structure of a frame house is really
deteriorating. Look at one of the
beams supporting the walls on the
foundation. You may have to
knock away bit of plaster to ex-
pose the beam. But, as likely as
not, you will find it exposed in
some place in the cellar, and that
will tell the tale. - Good House

Seeing Ourselves.

"The man who can pick out the
best picture of himself is a rare
Bird" said photographer. ''Even
an author, who is reputedly a poor
judge of his own work, exercises
vast wisdom in selecting his best
book compared with the person who
tries to choose his best photograph.
Every famous man or woman who
has been photographed repeatedly
has his favorite picture. Usually it
is the worst in the collection. 1t
shows him with an unnatural ex-
preston sitting or standing in an
unnatural attitude.
"The inability to judge of his
best picture must be due to the
average mans ignorance as to how
he really looks, or perhaps it can
be partly attributed to a desire to
look other than he Does"

When one takes dose Of medi-
cine he should not imagine that the
medicine will cure his disease. What
the medicine is intended to do is to
stimulate or decrease, as the case
may be, the normal action of some
organ or set of organs. 1t is the
body itself that throws off the dis.
ease and all the medicine can do is
to put the body into the right con-
dition for this work.
There are few exceptions to
this rule. Quinine, for example,
actually cures malaria by killing the
germs that cause it, but with these
rare exceptions the rule holds good
for all drugs.
every drug" says the Journal
Of the American Medical Associa-
ton, "exerts a variety of actions,
but only few of the actions of any
drug are Of benefit in any given
condition; the others are negligible
or detrimental. The therapeutic
usefulness of drug depends on the
fact that it exerts far greater ac-
tion on certain organs or tissues
than on others. Strychnine, for ex-
ample, is capable of combining with
certain cells in the central nervous
system and affecting them pro-
foundly, while leaving the other
cells of the body practically unaf-
fected."
1t used to be the custom to pre-
scribe large number of different
drugs in one prescription. Physi-
clans rarely do this now, the best
of them selecting some one, or per-
haps two drugs and administering
it or them in water, in sirup or
some other palatable form.
There is always more or less un-
certainty about the action of any
medicine. The age and condition
of the patient may modify it; there
may be some unsuspected condition
of some organ, or some peculiar
idiosyncrasy may produce an effect
totally different from that designed.
These are reasons why persons
should not attempt to doctor them
selves and should conceal nothing
from their physicians.

TOO WET FOR US

The fact that the liquor men il
politics desperately resisted tn,
passage of the county unit un.
doubtedly weakens the present
position of the distillers; they
would have been wise to have
taken the advice of the Evening
Post ten years ago and to have
permitted that law to be adopted
without struggle and at the same
time to have refrained from fight
ing men who advocated it.
1t is with the immediate present,
however, that the distillers are most
concerned and it is not to be
doubted that some of their number
are making a mistake fully as
serious as their fight upon the
county unit bill, and that mistake
IS lending support to the candidacy

Remington Did the Job Well and the
Disturber Subsided.

The late Frederic Remington had
a personality as original and viva
cious as his artistic style. His
friends have scores of amusing an
ecdotcs to tell Of him. 1t was Il. w.
Kemble who introduced me to Fred
eric Remington in 1890, writes Mr..
Augustus Thomas in the Century
Magazine. The two illustrators
were close friends, and they under
stood one another perfectly.
They sat together one night on a
late train out of New York, Rem
ington by the car window and Kem-
BILE next to the aisle. An obstreper-
Gus commuter who had been drink
ing was disturbing the passengers
with his noise. Neither conductor
nor brakeman could make him be-
have himself. The men passengers
seemed afraid of him. The rowdy
grew intolerable.
AS he passed Kemble's side on his
third blatant parade through the
car Remington reached out into the
aisle and, with mighty grip, lifted
him from his feet like a naughty
boy and laid him face downward
over Kemble's lap. Then, as Rem
ington held the ruffian fast, Kemble
spanked him, while the mans legs
wriggled frantically for a foothold.
The correction, prolonged and vig-
orous, was acclaimed by roars of
laughter from the other passengers.
When it was over Remington stood
the offender on his feet. The man
began a profane TRADE. Before be
had got half dozen words out
Remington had him face down
again and Kemble was at work as
before. That was enough, and when
they let the follow go he rapidly
disappeared into another car.

The Python.

Contrary to general belief, the

tacks people and is looked upon
very differently by the people from

anything except the henroosts.

The Speed of Globe circIina.

The earliest record in journeying
around the world was held by Ma
gellan at something less than three
years-the latest stands at thirty
five days and twenty-one hours. 1t
has taken us nearly four centuries
to lower it to this extent. 10 re-
duce it in the next 400 years in the
same proportion we should have to
make the circuit in about day, OF
in the time it now actually takes us
to make the circuit by the rotation
Of the globe. DR.. r. Hennig, VII
writes on the subject in Leipzig
Prometheus, calls attention to the
fact that jules Verne's celebrated
tale, "Around the World In Eighty
Days." was written just after the
opening of the Suez canal and the
construction of the first American
transcontinental railroad, which had
made it possible to lower the record
to this unprecedented figure.

Coronets.

The coronet of duke consists of
alternate crosses and leaves, the
leaves being representation of the
leaves of the parsley plant. The
princes of the blood royal also wear
similar crown. The state head
gear of marquis consists of dia-
dem surrounded by flowers and
pearls placed alternately. An earl,
however, has neither flowers nor
leaves surmounting his circlet, but
only points rising, each with pearl
on the top. A viscount has neither
flowers nor points, but only the
plain circlet adorned with pearls,
which, regardless of number, are
placed placed 0l, the crow ii ITSELF ITSELF. I. baron baron
has only six pearls ON the golden
border, not raised, to distinguish
him from an earl, and the number
of pearls render his diadem distinct
from that of viscount.

A Freak Cocoanut.

A freak cocoanut which is fire.
quently found on trees growing
with normal fruit is called the ma
capuno cocoanut. Instead of con-
tanning the ordinary milk" of wa
terry consistency, the interior is
made up of viscous, white, trans
lucent jelly, the texture of which
next to the shell approaches the
firmness of the normal cocoanut
meat. There is no way of distin-
gushing this kind of nut when in
tact except by shaking it. 1t is said
that trees which bear macapuno
nuts will continue to do so from
year to year.-Philadelphia Record.

ticket and urged them to work

content with making one argument
to that effect, Mr.. Stanley came
again before the candidates for the
same purpose, and later urged the

its instructions and vote against

II is idle for men who say they

WHY NOT PROTECT HUMAN
AS WELL AS DUMB ANlMALSi

Only recently the show cattle
from Kentucky which were exhibit
ed at the annual show in Chicago
Hast fall have been permitted to re-
turn to Kentucky. For nearly a
year they have been quarantined I.
State and National governments
united in protecting the live stock
of this and other States from the
danger of contagion and did well
in so doing.
OF tremendous monetary impor-
tant it was to the people of this
and every other State to prevent
the spread Of the foot and-mouth
disease. No precaution that was
taken was excessive; no expense in
CURED too great to prevent the
spread Of that disease. But the
very care shown by the govern
ment in preventing the danger of
infection by the presence of ami
mails that had been subject to con-
tagion emphasizes the negligence of
State and National government in
not protecting human beings with
the same care that is used to pro-
tect animals.
Neither the State nor National
government does anything to pre-
vent the spread Of tuberculosis, from
which tens of thousands of men and
women die every year. Nothing is
done by either State or National
government to prevent those who
have tuberculosis from travelling
whithersoever they desire, or to
teach them how they may keep
from communicating to others the
disease with which they suffer.
Kentucky, which has the unen-
viable distinction Of ranking with
three other States of the Union as
most cursed with trachoma, does
nothing whatever to prevent its cit
lzens or the citizens from other
States from the scourge; not dol
lar does it spend, not an official
does it employ to teach the citi-
zens of Kentucky how they may be
cured Of this disease, or keep from
contracting it.
Is it not time that We should
come to a realization that the
human animal is of as much impor-
tance and as worthy of protection
as is the cow, or the steer, or the
horse, or the sheep, or the goats

Real Estate Mortaaaes.

The oldest investment on earth is
the real estate mortgage. In an
cient Babylon, 2l00 years b. c., in
the reign of Hammurabi, money
was loaned on mortgage, while the
great Babylonian banking house Of
the Egibi family, founded about
600 B. c., invested large sums in

When the yerba mate, OF native
tea of Paraguay, is cultivated the
seeds are treated to an acid bath
before planting. This soitens the
