Enforcement Of the blue laws is
the result OF a Sunday closing cru
sade by the Russellyille Pastors AS
sociation, and Prosecuting Attorney A.
S. Hays is said to have promised 10
prosecute all violators
II had been the custom in Russell
vile for drug stores and restaurants,
and occasionally the hotels. to be IN
dicted semiannually for selling ci-
gars and cold drinks in violation OF
the Sabbath closing laws. Each would
plead guilty to one charge and pay a
fine and costs, and the other cases
would be dismissed. Then the deaf
ers would resume business until the
next term of court.
At the April term of court garages
and other concerns were put under the
ban. After the cases were disposed
of in the usual way the offenders were
warned that such violations would no
longer be tolerated, and it was then
that the dealers determined to fight.
Things went along as usual until this
week, when one dealer wss arrested
and arraigned before a justice of the
peace. Prosecuting attorney Hays dis
missed the case over the objection o
the defense, with the announcement
that he would take the matter up with
the Grand Jury.

 Hundreds of girls are helping in hos- pitals all over England. doing the cooking and homework. and others are working as probationers under trained nurses. There are also many convales- cent homes where their services are eagerly welcomed. With the exception of the military hospitals, which are scattered all over the country, it must be remembered that all hospitals and convalescent homes in England are supported entirely by voluntary sub scriptions. From the largest towns down to the smallest villages houses have been lent to be used either as hospitals or convalescent homes.

Even when one sticks on a postage stamp one faces a shortage in German dyes This was admitted by Director Joseph F. Ralph of the bureau of en- graving and printing when his atten- tion was called to a statement in the North German Gazette that lack of German dyes had caused a change in the colors of some American postage stamps.
 One billion stamps are printed by the bureau every month.
 Tt is true," said MT. Ralph. that the lack of German dyes has resulted in a slight change in the colcr of our stamps. The red two cent stamps are lighter. The eight cent stamp, which used to be olive green, is yellowish green. Slight color variations may be noted in other stamps, as we have been without German dyes for about eight months.
 We have been forced to use what you might call adulterated colors, ei- ther imported or domestic. These cost more and are not so good. I recently paid in New York s1 a pound for reds, whereas this color could be purchased a year ago for about "A cents. The new dyes have only about one-fourth the coloring strength of the old

An entirely new treatment of measles is reported by pr. Umberto Majoli in II Policlinico. It consists in the re- moval of blood serum from convales- cents and injecting it into patients in the acute stage of the disease Dr. Majoli tried it during an epidemic of measles at Ancona and with great suc- cess He gave injections of from five to twenty cubic centimeters of a mixed serum obtained from several conva- lescents The effect was to lower the temperature, shorten the course of the disease and prevent complications The Medical Record noted that a similar treatment has been used in scarlet fever since 1896.

VI United States patent office a A Washington in the past twelve months, an average; of 800 a week These ranged from duplex voting ma- chimes to fishhooks, with a heterogene- ous variety of wonderfully and mys- teriously contrived appliances in be- tween.
 Linn Eugene Carpenter of East Orange, N. J., obtained a patent for a new sort of cheese. It has it's mass interspersed throughout by commi- nuted cherries.
 Walter Lindemann of Detroit. Mich, patented a new type of life saving float calculated to appeal to the submarine haunted transatlantic traveller of today. Mr. Lindemann's device is a combined mattress and raft and free lunch counter The mattress fits into the sleeping berth and is quite comfortable to sleep on But suppose the ship should be torpedoed? The passenger goes overheard with a removable sec tion of the mattress and finds himself safe, for the time being at least: The mattress is partially filled with cork to make it buoyant It has a seat for the accommodation of the escaping pas senger and is equipped with tank Of fresh water, cans of food, small electric batteries, an incandescent lamp for signaling at night, a telescopic rod or mast to hoist the lamp at night and a flag by day and a waterproof flexible water closure or jacket that can be fastened by a drawstring around the body of the shipwrecked mariner. This keeps him high and dry. Another ad- vantage of this float type of life saving device is that it is of sufficient buoy ancy to support its main occupant and in addition lend possible assistance to others overheard who are not so well provisioned for the emergency.
 Just look at the toe separator for which Patent No. 1,163.490 was grant ed to the inventor, Alexander Well of New York city. The idea of this con- trivance is, of course, to keep the toes of the foot apart.
 Then there's the electric umbrella patented by Frank w. Smithing of Ontonagon, Mich. At first glance it looks like an ordinary umbrella, and it is used in the ordinary way. But if the night be dark just press button in the handle and the umbrella glows with tiny incandescent electric lights. There are lights at the butt, the top and at the end of each of the ribs.
 Among the other interesting patents issued during the last two months of 1915 are the following:
 A cuff fastener, invented by Charles Holl of Strasburg, Alsace, Germany
 A talking doll, by Samuel H. Ro- sofsky, Port Richmond, N. Y. By pressing the stomach of the doll you cause sounds to issue from the mouth.
