thcioPSulie NudillltS- IL has been decided by these experts that while pineapple juice is not a cure-all it is especially good for the digestive organs and great benefit to sufferers of sore throat. It is also used in the treatment for tubercu- losis. It is delightful drink served with carbonated water or simply as one does grape juice.
 All cooks who use gelatin with pine apple know that they need to use more of the gelatin with pineapple than with other juices as it shows its digestive power on gelatin.

OUSToN is man who is
 @y" big enough to have the 1 M truth told about him" M These were the words @ lAE of friend, a confidan, s and an admirer of David
 Franklin Houston, secre- tary of agriculture in the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson.
 The secretary's friend had no thought of small traits in the charac- ter of MT. Houston. What he meant was that certain things which have been dwelt upon by critics of the tenn perament and the methods of work of MT. Houston should be set forth so that the proper light might fall upon them and thus lay bare the facts to eye and mind.
 David Franklin has been criticized. Why! Well. the answer isn't hard He is an idealist who believes that his idealism can be realized only after the proof has been adduced that it really is idealism. Consequently Mir. Hous- ton is not a dreamer of dreams whose fabrics are baseless He is of Scotch blood and is hard headed, and as a result a good many of the visionaries of the country who see glory gliding the castles which they rear in the air, cannot understand why the secretary of agriculture does not instantly see the domes and minarets of their fan cy's building burning with the splen- dor of monday"
 The department of agriculture, since Mir. Houston took hold of 1t, has broadened the field of its endeayors. Many things have been done. Some of them are things which the dream. CTS of the years have urged should be done. Everything bearing a trace of the imprint of worthiness that has been suggested has been subjected to the test of critical analysis. Some of the dreamers have been disappointed because this thing or that thing has not been done. but they may know that the test has been applied and that the proof of lasting worthiness has been lacking.
 There seems to be a sort of general impression that Secretary Houston is e cold man. The presumption of his coldness comes unquestionably from the fact that he is so intensely scien- tifc and analytical The visionaries SC :o him bubblins over with their dreams of what can be done to bring the millennium of their desires to farm and field They are so convinced that the vision they have seen from the mountain tops is real that they count the man who listens but declines fn- stant and exuberant acceptance of the truth of their dreams. as a man who is cold and unresponsive- Little do they know. at any rate for long time. that some of these dream recitals are remembered and studied and that if they bear up under the study plans arc laid to make them . reality.
 Coldness is an exterior thing. A thermos bottle may be- cold to the touch and yet have plenty of heat in- side. The man who said that Secrs-

4THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE"

"The Battle Cry of Peace" deals
with the subject which is today
nearest the heart Of every American
citizen-the problem of Americas
appropriateness.
1t portrays the defenseless con-
dition of our country; the conse-
quences Of which this condition
may lead; and the way to avoid
these consequences.
The City of New York is at
tackled by a powerful foreign foe.
You are an eyewitness. You see
the enemy approaching, the power
lessness of the city, the inadequacy
of its forts and defenses. You
see the havoc wrought by the en-
emy's cruisers, its submarines, its
airhips--by its shells, shrapnel,
bombs. You see the most beautiful
skyline in the world in flames; the
metropolis of the western hemis-
phere devastated.
You see New York fall into the
hands of the enemy; the Dissertation
that follows.
Then you are shown the way
that such a calamity can be avoided
the one way. You are shown the
way to peace for which America
so earnestly prays-the peace with
honor. "The Battle Cry of Peace"
was writttn by ]. Stuart Blackton
and vitagraphed, under his personal
supervision on scale never be-
fore attempted in motion pictures.

GOOD RESULTS
Are OBTAINED
Many People Settle Their Accounts
While Others Make Satisfactory
Arrangements.

The Pay-Up Week campaign
which was put on by thirty mer-
chants Of this city last week, was
productive Of considerable good
and is certainly a step in the right
direction. The credit system has
been greatly abused and we exree:
that in a few years will be COM
pletely abolished and one will be
required to settle all accounts
monthly. The Secretary of the
Business Mems Club estimates from
the figures he obtained from those
interested in the movement that
there was $12,0O0.OO paid on ac-
counts during the campaign. Sew
eral merchants report that many
called and made arrangements fol
payment of their account in the
near future. Taken as whole
the campaign was considered q
success.

COURT KNOCKS
OUT ACT OF 1914


As predicted in our last issue,
an agreed suit was filed Friday
by A. A. Hazelrigg, as a taxpayer,
against c. T. Hazelrigg, County
Treasurer, seeking to enjoin him
is.om paying any voucher ordered
issued by the County Commission
ers, upon the ground that the act
: of 1914, displacing the Magistrates
WIS. unconstitutional and void be-
causAit did not conform to the
constitutional requirements. Judge
Hazelrigg is represented by Judge
r. H. VIM, while Mr.. G. 7. Hazel
rigg and the Commissioners are
represented by Mr.. NJno. g. VIM.
The suit was at once taken before
Judge William A. Young at 0wings-
vile, and the act was declared
void, the effect of which, as, we
understand it, is to postpone the
commission form of government
here until the Magistrates serve
their terms out. The case will at
once be carried to the Court of
Appeals in order that final adj
judication upon the matter may be
promptly had. If Judge Young's
construction of the law is upheld

TAKE UP THE
FREIGHT RATES
Committee From Business Mems
Club Takes Up Matter With
C. g. O. 0fficiaIs.

A committee from the Business
Mems Club met with Mr.. A. II. Leh-
men, Division Freight Agent of the
G. & o. r. R., at the Office of Agent
J. C. Mcneil, Monday morning and
for a couple of hours discussed the
freight rate raise.
Mr.. Lehmen discussed in the
most technical way these various
increases and admitted that in
many cases there had been increas-
es made in rates that were all out
of proportion to those received in
adjoining cities. He requested that
the Business Mems Club have list
Of the commodities made showing
the old rate, present rate and the
rate being received by Winchester
and other adjoining cities. He said
he felt confident that after care
full survey Of the situation that the
C. & o. would be glad to make an
equitable adjustment Of the matter.
1t was suggested after the meet
ing was held that the Club employ
an expert to compile the list for
the Railroad company and to be
present when Mr.. Lehmen came
back to take up the matter again,
as there are few people who under
stand the various freight schedules,
rates, etc. There will be meeting
of the Business Mems Club Monday
night, March 9th, and it is hoped
that a full attendance will be on
hand. There are several matters Of
vital Importance to be discussed.
Come up and let us have your ideas.

STERLING KENTUCKY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH i. 1916
LIFE COMES
TO A CLOSE
Mr.. Harry Campbell Answers the
Final Summons at His Home
Last Tuesday Night.

After many years Of i'll health
during which time he always kept
in happy frame Of mind and sell
dom if ever complained of his ill
ness. Death came last Tuesday
night shortly after ten O'Clock, and
relieved Mr.. Harry Campbell of his
sufferings.
Mr.. Campbell was born and spent
his entire life in this city. He was
forty-six years old the day he died.
He was a member Of the Episcopal
church.
Being of bright, sunny DISPOSE
ton, with the happy faculty Of
ymaking and retaining friends, 'Bar-
ney," as he was familiarlv called,
was one Of the most popular men
that ever lived in this city.
Poet nor artist has ever been able
to portray the grave in colors of
brightness and beauty. Bryant, in
the "Hymn of DEATH" could not
make the subject beautiful; and yet
the cemetery with its marble and
its dead, the chair that has no &C.
cupant, the fancied echo of the 81
lent voice, and the vacant place in
home, social and lodge life, are mel
lowing and uplifting in their infu-
ence. They bring the best of human
nature into the fullness of vigor,
crowding back the selfshness and
imperiousness of men, and impress
ing them with the duty of recogni-
ton of the value of friendship. 1t
is the gloom of the church yard
that reveals to us more clearly the
beauty of life. 1t is the broken ties
at the grave that prompts us to a
fuller appreciation of the tender
ness Of the ties that are not yet
broken; and so while we mourn the
loss of our dead we may rejoice
that there is no cloud so dark that
there is no light behind it, no sor-
row so poignant that there is not a
balm for the wound it inAicts.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. W. r. Dye at the Episcopal
church Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock with burial in Machpelah
cemetery. Mr.. Campbell is surviv-
ed by two sisters, Mrs. Sophia Ran
dali and Miss Olive Campbell, one
niece, Miss Lucy Randall, all Of
this city, and one nephew, Mr.. VIM
Randall, of Cincinnati, o.
