to get over it. Mr.. Morford had g
similar experience at the same place
a few years ago and has never fully
recovered from its effects. Mr.. Nor.

Covington, KY, August 23-Gover-
nor A. o. Stanley addressed delegates
from the counties of Boone, Bracken,
Campbell. Gallatin, Grant, Harrison.
Kenton, Mason and Owen to the Sew.
enth tuberculosis Sanitarium district
meeting in Judge Tracy's court room
today. Harry b. Mackoy was chair
man and said that Kenton county has
accumulated about $4,000 for the es-
tablishment Of a tuberculosis sanitar-
ium and that the State tuberculosis
Commission wants the cooperation Of
all the counties in the Seventh dis
trict.
Governor Stanley said in part:
at is the duty Of the government
to see that diseases which decimate
society. which take away lives preci-
Gus to society are curtailed, control
led or prevented. Every man is worth
according to statistics $500 to So
ciety. He ought to be worth many
thousands. 1t is as much the duty Of
the government to rid these instru-
ments of death as to fight hostile
armies.
Tuberculosis is as deadly as are
the steal bullets fired by an invad-
ing army. This matter OF fighting
tuberculosis is merely a matter of
business. One-seventh of the human
race is dying from this disease.
81 want my tuberculosis Commits
sion to be a commission with a pur-
pose and common sense. / want the
commission to stamp out dread dis
eases in this State. The commission
is neither Democratic or Republican"
The Governor concluded his speech
with an earnest plea for the co-opera-
ton of the delegates in the fight the
State is making to wipe out tuber-
culosis.
Short addresses were delivered by
representatives from various counties.
Luncheon was served in the law H.
brary to the delegates at the noon ad-
journment by Colonel Tom Cody.
At the afternoon session resolutions
were presented, followed by discus
sions. At o'clock the delegates took
an automobile trip through the county
to select a site for the proposed sana-
forum.
The site that will most probably be
selected is situated on hill Just west
Of Covington. From the promontory
the cities of Cincinnati, Covington,
Newport and Fort Thomas are visible.
The site comprises ninety;seven acres
and is an ideal spot, being very iso-
lated. 1t is to be hoped that the pro-
posed sanitorium will be a go.

I'd by the City Council.

In tho Mason Circuit Court yester-
day. through their attorney, II. w.

Simon Alper asked for a restraining
order against the City OF Maysville

The property in question is the ad-

dition to his garage and the property
owners obtained the permission of
the surrounding citizens and the con-
sent of the Building Committee OF the
City Council. Having received this
consent they went ahead and built the
addition, although the City Council
had not passed on the building. In
the meantime the Fire Chief visited
the place and found that the building
was entirely unsuited to be placed in
the heart of the city and so reported
the matter to the Council. That body
then declared it nuisance and order
ed 1t removed at once.
In their petition the plaintiffs state
the defendant, its agents and servants
are about to, unless prevented will en-

OF tearing down and demolishing the
said building thereof, and that they

Indignant That Marshall County Should
NEGLECT its Public Rest Room.

Editor Times-Republican: ! was in
terested and watched the efforts and
the time it took to get a suitable rest
room. I have also noticed since we
have had it that there are no funds
available for its proper care Let me
ask, how can we expect to grow ana
prosper if we pursue a penny wise
and pound foolish" attitude or course?
To my mind, We should DO all in our
power, even tho it costs some money,
to make our town attractive and stran-
gers pleased to come among US.
M~arshalltown and Marshall county,
in my estimation, are too rich anc
prosperous to pursue a penurlous
course. I am told a band Of enter
prising women are now trying TO raise
a fund by public subscription to main
tain this rest in a suitable way,
to be fitting to good old Marshalltown.
I take pleasure iii enclosing my cneck
payable to you for $50. Turn it over
70 the ladies for his or any other good
cause. I want to be one to show my
appreciation Of the public spirit which
causes these good women to work to
make life in Marshall county what 1t
ought to be-. We do not wan our

so small a matter. F. c. Let's.
