THE THR|Cf-A-WEfK
EDITION OF The
new YORK WORLD
IN 1917
Practically a Daily at the Price Of
a Weekly. No other Newspaper
in the world gives so much at so
low a price.

The value and need of a newspaper
n the household was never greater
than al the present time. The great
war in Europe is now half way into
its third year, and, whether peace be
at hand or yet be far off, it and the
events to follow il are sure to be Of
absorbing interest for many a month
to come.
These are Notwithstanding affairs, in
which the United States, willing or
unwilling, is compelled to take part

OLD MAID INSURANCE NOW
IN Vienna Women Are Able ID obtain
Policies on Chances OF
Marriage.

A form of insurance that is likely
to prove popular in America has APP
peared in Vienna. Ii is that of insur-
ing girl against being an old maid.
The new form of insurance grew out
of the probability that there would
be a great shortage Of men following
the war and consequent certainty
that there would not be enough to go
around. -
This insurance is just as business
like and efficient in its arrangements
as is life insurance, according to the
Kansas City Times. Instead Of pass
ing upon the applicants health the
agent bases her acceptability as risk
upon her degree of beauty, personal
charm and wifely qualities. The
prettiest girls are the best risks, the
homely ones having to pay the high
est premiums.
There appears to be only one diff
ficulty about the arrangement. Who
is to fix the age at which the insur-
ance becomes payable? To claim
the insurance would be tantamount
to an admission on the woman's part
that there is no hope of her winning
husband. And great philosopher
has said that a woman resigns the
idea of getting married only with life
itself. And another equally great
philosopher has remarked that hope
springs eternal in the feminine
breast. SO it would seem the insur-
ance company has got all the better
of the arrangement.

TRAINING JAPANESE ARTISANS

A realization of the opportunity
created by the war for Japan to take
the place of Italy in the production
of carved coral has led the japanese
government, through the marine ex-
pertinent stations, to undertake the
training of artisans in the carving of
coral for sale in Europe and Amer
lea. 1t is hoped by this measure to
increase the value of coral exports
from the 100000 received each
year for the crude coral exported to
$35, 100000 for exports consisting
entirely Of carved coral.

Elimination Of professional or

some day other than Sunday where
possible, and that lengthy funeral
sermons be cut down to few words.

The Kentuckian on Jan. l, 1917 rounds out it's

Guild have been year of unusual prosperity, but
as the public is aware the exorbtant and unprece-

,.eep hole in the profits of ali newspapers and many
unable to stand losses were put out of business.
The KentuckiA m enters the new year with print
paper that cost S54 ton at this time last year now
costing about S140 for the same amount of paper
not as good. How long these conditions will con-
tnue cannot be foretod.
Many newspapers have advanced rates but in
order that the circulation may not be lessened by
higher price the Kentuckian w i'll still be sent for
$500 a year, the old price. 1t will be necessary
though to adhere rigidly to the cash system, since
more than Sl00 must be paid in advance for the

BABY WEEK MAY TO 6
Fundamentally Its Purpose Is Edu.
ational-lntended to Reduce
Sickness and Death Rate.

Baby week is only a comparatively
short distance away May l-6 is the
time scheduled-and communities In
which such a campaign is to be- held
should be making their final prepare.
tionS if the week is to hp a success
There is no question that Baby Week
will be more generally celebrated this
year than ever before and from the
number of inquiries received by the
State Board OF Health, as well as the
general interest displayed I'm com.
munities throughout the state there
is no doubt that Oklahoma will do
its part. Better babies are the great.
est single factor in any plan for per.
manent community advancement.
Fundamentally the purpose of
Baby Week is educational. 1t seeks:
First-to bring home to every citi.
zen in the given community the fact
that 1t Is sound civic economy to re-
duce the sickness and death rates
among babies, and to improve the
coming generations by measures
which will keep the baby and the
babys mother well before and after
the baby's birth The community's re-
sponsibility for its babies is the cen.
tral idea of Baby Week.
Second-To tell the people OF the
community facts regarding the pres
ent status of infant mortality in their
town or city and what is being done,
both by public and private organiza-
tions, TO improve conditions which in.
iuriousy effect the health of their
babies.
Third-To give directly to the faith.
ers and mothers, the brothers and sis
ters of babies such information about
the care Of their babies as viii result
in better care and feeding, especially
during the hot sumner months when
the infant mortality rate is needlesslv
high.
Fourth-To affect better under.
standing which may coordinate the
various agencies, public and private,
which have baby welfare as their
primary object with a view to avoid.
