SCIENCE REDUCES DEATH RATE
OF TUBERCULOSIS.

A reduction of more than 25 per
cent. in the death rate from tuber-
culosis in the ten years that the sci
entic treatment has been followed,
whose value has been proved by ex-
perience, indicates that in time mans
most Unsuitable enemy may be destroy
ed or rendered practically harmless.
The treatment provides for very lit
tie medicine and that must be taken
only on the prescription of a physi-
cian-pure air, plenty of sunlight, no
dissipation, nourishiEg food, cleanli-
ness, and rest. A pamphlet giving
full instructions will be sent on ap-
plication to DR.. w. L. Heller, Sec
rotary of the State tuberculosis Com
mission, Frankfort.

FAVORABLE FARMING CONDI-
TI0NS.

Farmers are greatly encouraged
over the improved conditions in farm
ing work. All the growing crops are
doing well. The favorable weather
of the past week or ten days has
worked a. great change in the pros
poets for almost all crops. Grass
seed especially, has been benefited.
The quality of the seed which is now
being gathered is better, and better
prices for the cured seed may be ex-
pected.
The young tobacco plants are look
ing well. A large per cent, of the
crop has been set ovt, and the acre
age will be fully as large as that of
preceding years. The wheat harvest
will be late, owing to the late and
cold spring, but it has improved
fifty per cent. under the warming in
fiuences of sunshine and rains. Corn
is looking fine, and a big yield is
anticipated. The potato crops both
in this city and county promise a
banner yield. Homegrown vegeta-
bles are in the market again in large
quantities.
One of the busiest spots about
Paris is the community garden of
four acres, the use of which was ten
dered to the Health & Welfare
League by Mr.. Catesby Spears, of E.
F. Spears & Sons, of Paris. Here may
be seen every day a large class of
boys and girls, who have developed
under competent instructors into ex-
pert gardeners. The potato crop at
these gardens is said to be a wonder.
The young gardeners are thoroughly
in love with the work, and their en-
thusiasm is bearing fruit in the shape
of big yield of vegetables.

Those Sidewalk Signs.

Every now and then some fellow
with a shoe shining stand or a shoot
ing gallery, or something of about as
much Importance gets hold of a buck
ct Of gaudy paint or a pail of white
wash, and in the still hours of the
night, when "graveyards yawn and
hell itself breathes forth contagion
upon the world" proceeds to daub
the sidewalks of the city of Paris,
KY, with unattractive attempts at
sign-painting.
Naturally, there isn't much in the
way Of scenery on the cold concrete
sidewalks of Paris, (Ky.) But smear
ing lot of signs over them doesn't
improve their appearance any, nor
do such signs serve to elevate the
business which the man who placed
them there seeks to advertise. No
town is so small these days but they
resent, to a great degree. such pain
full efforts as are produced by the
sidewalk artists.
The pavements Of a city belongs
to the city, and the individual who
attempts to use them to further his
own individual business should have
his attention called to the fact. A
circus would not think of smearing
its bills all over the pavements of
this city, on the city buildings, or on
any public building-yet it would
have just as much right to do so as
anyone has to use other city prop
erty, the sidewalks for instance, to
promote an advertising campaign.
When the greatest advertising me-
dunn the world has ever known
the newspaper-fails to draw bust
ness, use handbills or window litho-
graphs. When they lose their pull
ing power try the billboards. If that
fails to secure results try as a last
resort house-to-house circularizing.
1t none of them have the desired eff !.
feet, then quit advertising, for the
business that has to be advertised in
any other way isn't worth advertis-
ing.

thousands of little errands her tired
feet had run for him, nor had she
handed in an account for the time
she had sat in the dead hours of the
night at his bedside and nursed him
back to life. Mothers never send us
bills for their loving, unselfishness
faithful services. Why?
It's an easy answer. No man liv-
ing has ever become wealthy enough
to repay the kindness and loving
care bestowed upon him by his moth
er. He couldn't pay his mothers bill,
if she presented it, with anything but
his undying devotion to her all her
life. He might possess millions and
he might even give her his last cent,
but opposite it would have to be writ
ten: Part payment on account"
We can never hope to pay to pay
mothers bill. The best we can do
each day is to be credited with big
share of the love and sacrifices we
can make for her. Admiration for
her, thoughtfulness for her welfare
and comfort, and living the kind of
life her love would have us pursue,
would go a little bit toward paying
mothers bills. But even all of this
cannot settle the score.

drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost

the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
