ing and was requested to return open
ing day.
The cases viii be treated confiden-
TALLY. The nurse In charge and others
connected with the administration Of
the new institution have emphasized
the secrecy Of its operations and the
fact that it is not for tuberculosis
patients. tuberculosis patients will
be received incidentally, as any other
patients.
Located at Nursery
The dispensary is located on the
second floor of the nurses home at
2O7 North Twelfth street, where
nurses will be in charge every after
noon from 2 to o'clock. Preliminary
examinations will be given there and
the patients will be referred to the
specialists who have been appointed
from the Richmond medical fraternity.
The first case, according to the
nurse in charge, happened to be a
hospital case. The patient was sent
to the hospital where course of
treatment will be given. Treatment
will be free or will cost the amount
the patient gives, in all cases.
Nurses at the home expressed the
belief today that the dispensary has
been long needed in Richmond and
will ultimately be greatly patronized,
and do much good in bringing up the
general health standard of the city.

in ALL LIQUOR CASES.
Intends to Uphold County Unit
Law, Declares Gov. Stanley.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 16.-Gov.
Stanley has written to County Attor-
ney F. B. Martin, of Graves county,
stating that he would not grant execu-
tive clemency to persons in local op-
ton territory charged with violating
the local option law.
Martin had written to Gov Stanley
stating that he understood that Harry
Wimberly of that county, who he said
had been fined $3.50 in ten indictments
on charges of violating the local op-
ton law, would make application for
a pardon. Martin said Wimberly had
been indicted sixteen times.
Gov. Stanley said that not only had
the people of the State adopted the
county unit law as the best system Of
handling the liquor question, but that
both political parties in this State had
unequivocally declared for the coun-
ty unit law, and that he considered
the law binding to the extent that he
would not grant pardons on charges
of its violation.

SWEEPING CHANGES IN
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS
international Committee An
nOunces Its Decision.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 16. -Asweep-
ing revision of the uniform Sunday
school lessons issued by the interna-
tional Sunday school lesson commit
tee which have been used for many
years with practically no change. was
announced last night by DR.. J. r. Sam
pevata meeting here of Sunday school
workers from all sections of North
America, who's are attending the confer
ences being held by the international
Sunday School association.
DR.. Sampey is the chairman of the
uniform lesson subcommittee of the
international Sunday school lesson
committee. The uniform Sunday
school lessons as they have been
issued for many years have been
primarily adapted to adult class work.
The revised system of lessons will be
drawn in such way as to provide
for their easy adaptation to all the
branches of Sunday school work and
these adaptations will be indicated
plainly. This will, it is said, make
easier the problem of grading the
work of Sunday schools too small to
use the series of graded lessons by the
international Sunday school lessons
committee.
The series of lessons will be inaug-
uIaied Jan. /, 1918, and will run
for a cycle of eight years, instead of in
six-year cycles, as formerly.

COMMISSION GOVERN
MENT UNPOPULAR

Mr.. Metzger, of Newport intro
duced a bill, which is to repeal the
charter of second-claSs cities operat-
ing under the commission form OF
government. Mr.. Metzger said that
he had introduced the bill by request
of Newport people who were not sat
isfed with the operation of the COM
mission form in that city.
There is some difference of opin-
ion among lawyers in the House as to
whether the repeal of this law will
abolish all of the present charters, OF
whether it will merely prevent other
second-class cities from operating UNI
der the commission form.

LYLEUM NUMBER
Worthwhile Wood, Scientist, to
Give Unusual Program.

Montraville M. Wood, who appears
in the big Redpath series at the Tab
ernacle tonight, makes a model of
the Panama canal.
AT the Panama canal celebration in
San Francisco in 1915, he made a
complete model of the canal 1000 #.
long. Three boats 20 it. long piled
the waters of this canal and automat-
ically opened and closed the gates and
filled and emptied the locks. Mr..
Wood did the engineering and took
out all the patents on this model COW
ering the automatic working of the
same.
Mr.. Wood will demonstrate the
gyroscope, the monorail-car and the
ultraviolet ray. His demonstrations
are of such nature that they can be
plainly seen from all parts of the aud
itorium.
One important and amusing feature
Of the program is the wrestling gyro-
scope. A gyroscope measuring "a
inches in diameter and weighing %
pounds is capable Of throwing a 200
pound man if he persists in trying to
handle it. The gyroscope is set in
motion and placed upon the floor
standing on edge. Any strong man
in the audience is invited to come to
the platform and try to tip it over on
its side, but is never able TO do so.
Miss Allene M. Wood, Prof Wood's
only daughter, who has been his CO.
worker and assistant for several years,
has performed such wonderful work
with the ultraviolet ray that they have
given her the name "Tamer of Elec,
tricity." The ultraviolet ray is pro-
duced by taking in alternate current
and boosting it to 25,000 volts, re-
quiring one of the most dangerous
currents known today.

BERT WING PAR0LED
FROM PENITENTIARY

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 16.-Bert
Wing, who voluntarily returned a
year ago to the Reformatory from
which he escaped in 1909, while
serving life term for killing his
wife, has been paroled by the Board
of Prison Commissioners.
Bert Wing was the black sheep
of prominent Muhlenberg family.
His brother Rumsey Wing, died
while Minister to Argentine. Bad
habits and associates were the down
fall of Bert, who followed his wife
from ST. Louis to Louisville in 1893
and killed her there. He was a
trusty at the prison when he made
his escape and nothing was heard OF
him for six years; but one day he
walked into Warden Wells office
and told who he was. He was get
ting old and he was tired of lodging
imaginary pursuit.
Former Warden George Chinn
has offered Bert a home. He has no
near relatives living.

WATTEERRSSG1iNs'SS TRIBUTE
TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

In fittingl commemoration of the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the
following tribute to the great Ameri-
can as voiced!by Hon. Henry Waiter
son in an address before the Lincoln
Union at the Chicago Auditorium
February IL, 1905 seems decidedly
appropriate:
Born as lowly as the Son of God,
in a hovel; reared in perjury, squalor,
with no CLEAN of light or fair sur
roundings; without graces, actual or
acquired; without name or fame or
official training; it was reserved for
this strange being, late in life, to be
saf(ehed from obscurity, raised to
supreme command at supreme mo-
ment, and entrusted with the destiny
of a nation.
THE great:leaders of his party, the
most experienced and accomplished
public men of the day, were made tC
stAld aside, were sent to the rear
while this fantastic figure was led by
unseen hands to the front and giver
the reins of power. 1t is immateria
whether we were for him or agains
him; wholly immaterial. That, dur
ing four years, carrying with then
such weight of responsibility as the
world never witnessed before, he
filled the vast space allotted him ii
the eyes and actions of mankind, i:
to say that he was inspired by God
for nowhere else could he have &C
quired the wisdom and the virtue.
where did Shakespeare get hi:
genius? Where did Mozart get his
music? Whose hand smote the Tyre
of the Scottish plowman, and saved
the life of the German priest? God
God, and God alone; and as surely az
these were raised up by God, inspired
by God, was Abraham Lincoln; and /
thousand years hence, no drama, NJ
tragedy, no epic poem will be filleC
with greater wonder, or be followed
by mankind with deeper feeling thai
that which tells the story OF his lift
and death. F"

START IN TINE
Sanitation in The Control of
Hog Cholera.

Hog cholera is a highly infectious
and contagious disease. II should be
handled and dealt with like any other
contagious disease. II is carried
from farm to farm by running water,
by dogs and birds and on the shoes
of man. Farmers and hog raisers can
do great deal to control and eradi-
cate this disease on their own prem
ises by the observance of scrupulcuS
cleanliness in the care of hogs and by
the adoption of simple sanitary
measures, and by good hog-farm
management.
Cooperate with your neighbors and
with the Experiment Station in their
efforts to control hog cholera, by the
observance of the following simple
sanitary measures:
Burn the carcasses of all dead hogs.
Isolate and quarantine all sick hogs
and all new stock until they show
freedom from disease.
Any hog off feed should be quarar-
tined and watched.
Clean and disinfect your hog hous-
es.
Scatter freshly slaked lime about
hog houses and hog lots once week.
Rake up the dung and spent lime and
use it to fertilize your fields. Lime is
one of the cheapest disinfectants and
lone of the best fertilizers.
Provide clean, dry quarters for
your hogs. A good hog house does
mot cost much.
Do not pasture your hogs by run
ming stream. Hog cholera is carried
for miles by running water.
Give your hogs vermifuge to re-
move worms. A good verlnifuge
consists of:
Santonin, % grains.
Areca nut, drachm.
Calomel, 2 grains.
Sodium bicarbonate, drachms.
This preparation can be obtained
from any pharmacist. Another good
vermifuge is pint of turpentine to a
barrel of slop. Starve all animals
forty-eight hours before giving the
vermifuge.
| For lice, use any of the coal tar
ldips or spray your hogs with an
emulsion of crude oil or kerosene.
| Feed properly balanced rations.
| Avoid all patent medicines. These
Iare worthless as remedies for hog
cholera.
Do not visit farms on which there
| is hog cholera, and do not allow
strangers in your hog lots. Man is
responsible for 25 per cent. of the
outbreaks of this disease.
Keep birds and dogs away from
your hog lots.
Do away with filthy hog wallows.
To provide pure stock water, but a
barrel of lime or five pounds of cop
Iperas in the pond.
II you need hog cholera serum, or
ii you feel in need of further advice
regarding the care of hogs, address,

4O,OOO TURKS ARE
 TAKEN AT ERzEnUM
Ottoman Battle Losses 25, 900,
 Russian Claim.

Mosp than 10000 Turkish troops and many guns were captured by the army of the Grand Duke Nicholas. in addi- tiOn to vast quantities of military stores. in the taking of the ErZcrum forts. it is claimed by Russian war re ports from Petrograd. The battle losses of the Turks are said to have eX. ceeded 25.000 in killed and wounded.
 It was estimated by Petrograd that the Turkish garrison numbered 10O.mn men and that the defenscs included at least 1000 guns.
 The fact that the city fell within five days after the Russians began storm ing the forts made it appear possible that the captures both in men and guns were large.
 Means of exit from ErZerum under ordinary circumstances are very mea ger. and with the city virtually sur rounded by Russian troops in the last few days of fighting and heavy SnuwS making highways impossible it is he lieved thousands of Turkish troops were unable to make their way tu safety.
 The gun captures in Erzerum may prove of immense value. Several hun. dred pieces in the city's forts were re ported to be of modern construction having been purchased from the Krupp factory just before the outbreak of the war.
 The remainder of the Turkish army retreated in utter rout ill bitter bliZ. gard. The Russians are pressing hard in the pursuit of the fugitives who were rallied by fresh troops hurry ing forward from the west.

CARRANZA'S FALL IS
 NEAR, U. s. HEARS
Army, Unpaid, SaidtO Be Ready
 For Revolt.

Information reaching Washington to the effect that the Carranza govern ment in Mexico is nearing a complete downfall was received hy government officials in confidential dispatches from the Mexican border Although officials refused to make any comment. the in- formation is believed to arouse con. siderable concern in administration circles.
 Not least disturbing was the state ment made in several of the communi- cations that Carranza followers. un- able to get any pay and facing starva- ton, are in a mood for new revolu- tion the moment man strong enough to lead them appears on the scene.
 In view of the information received it is thought probable that the Ameri. can authorities along the border will be instructed to maintain extra vigi- lance to prevent the organization of any anti-CarranZa movements on the American side and also to prevent the shipment of any arms to persons not known to he in sympathy with the CarranZa government.
