criticism. This was of the marring
Of the value Of both birth and death
returns from the entire State, caused
by the failure of q few doctors to
make their reports to The local reg
istrars within the ten DAYS fixed by
the law. AS an outcome of this
criticism, it has been determined to
promptly bring all such violations of
the law to the attention of the
courts.
There has never before been a
time in the history of this country
when the facts recorded by vital sta
tistics authorities were so important
as now, in the face of the difficulties
many young men encounter in show
ing their exact age under the selec-
tive draft law. With the co-opera-
ton of parents and especially of
mothers, to see that the property and
other rights of every child born to
them are safe-guarded by the prompt

provides, and as every physician and
registrar is paid to do, no such diff
ficulties can occur hereafter.
Upon receipt of the official mott
fication of admission to the privi-
lege and honor of Federal registra-
ton, the State Board of Health at
once put large force of clerks at
work making transcripts of all birth
certificates for the present year, and
hereafter all such certificates will
become a part of the official records
of the National Government.

As has been known to the profess
sion and registrars, Special Agents
of the u. S. Census Department have
spent the last three months in the
Offices of the State Board of Health
investigating the birth returns of the
Bureau Of Vital Statistics in order to
ascertain whether or not Kentucky
was entitled to admission into the re-
Gently established federal registra-
ton area for births, as was done for
deaths the year after the law on this
subject was passed.
The investigation was most COM
prehensive and far-reaching one. In
quiries were sent to all clergymen,
postmasters, rural route carriers and
womeu's clubs in the State as to ev-
cry birth coming to their knowledge
within selected periods and each
name thus obtained was checked
against the original birth certificates
of physicians and midwives on the
permanent files of our Bureau Of vi
tai Statistics.
AS the result of this careful and
painssaking investigation, the State
Boad of Health has been formally
notified that Kentucky is admitted
into the registration area. This hon

our profession and people when it is
known that, including Virginia, very
properly admitted with Kentucky to
represent the South, only seven
States are now embraced in the Fed

 Returning from the automobile ride with which they were entertained by the chamber of commerce, and on which they were accompanied by President H. I. Holde1ness and Sec retary E. B.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel riuht with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. "What's an inside bath ?" you say. We'll, it is guaranteed to per form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women wEo, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink glass of real hot water with teasloonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It is in- tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid ncys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestble material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath. bad taste, colds, stomach trou- ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, i'm pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.- Adv.

Be Careful in Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain mul- sihed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely .greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most. expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply noisten the hair with water and rub it:in, abouta teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor ough1y. and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it. loosens and takes out every~particle of dust. dirt and dandruff.

BIG. PHILIPPINE SUGAR CROP
Modern Machinery, suppIanting Hand
Labor, Results in Planting of
Immense Acreage.

The Philippines are like most of the
sugar cane growing regions in that the
available labor supply is comparatively
limited. To overcome this, the tractor
and modern power machinery is being
introduced. AS this does not pay on
the small plantations, the custom is
for one organization to operate sew
eral hundred or thousand acres, and
well-organized system is involved
throughout the year. Labor-saving de-
vices are employed wherever possible.
The first process in harvesting sugar
cane is stripping the leaves from the
stalks, an operation requiring much
time and labor, as this must be done
by hand. A cane knife or bolo is used
by the native laborer, who passes the
knife down each side of the cane,
knocking off and throwing them into
the middle of the row, where other Ia
borers pick them up and load them
to be hauled to the mill.
Sugar cane milling under modern
methods may be divided into four es-
sential processes, namely, the extrac-
ton of the juice from the cane, the
Qualification of the juice by boiling, the
evaporation of the juice so as to re-
duce the sugar to the crystalline form,
and the freeing Of the sugar from
impurities. The most modern ma
chinery for all operations is fast being
installed throughout the Philippine is
lands, and American consumers may
look forward to securing the bulk Of
their sugar from these distant dots
on the Pacific, which owe their de-
velopment to American capital and
American leadership.

FUNSTON AS STRIKE BREAKER
Used Rifle as Persuader to Induce In.
dian Packers to Proceed on
Journey.

In 1893 Frederick Funston set out
for Alaska on a commission to collect
botanical specimens. Today the trail
over Chilkoot pass is familiar, but at
that time It was known only to Indian
guides and a few daring miners who
had followed its devious ways. Funs-
ton with two companions went up the
pass and over to the Yukon, says the
Youths Companion. One incident of
the trip he describes in his own pic
turesque language as follows:
''The Indians carried the loads while
we dragged the empty sleds. The snow
fell necessarily for five days, and it lay
along our route from 5 to so feet deep.
Day after day we wallowed and strug-
gled on as we worked our way grad
ually upward to the summit of the
range. One cheerful little diversion
occurred on the second day. The low
browed chief packer who seemed to
have charge of the other Indians threw
his load into the snow and announced
that unless their pay was materially
increased he and the other packers
would get themselves back to the viii
lage, and thus leave us in a pretty
pickle.
"My temper had been at white heat
all day, and without thinking what
might be the consequence of such
move, / showed the muzzle of cooked
rifle into the face of the advisory COM
mittee Of that strike, and the way the

to have a gun in the house,"
