Mr.. Louis Smell, well known
and highly respected young business
man of Paris, died suddenly at the
Massie Memorial Hospital, in that
city, last Tuesday night shortly be-
fore midnight, following a pro-
tracted illness. Mr.. Smell recently
underwent an operation for appen-
dicitis and was getting along nicely
until suddenly stricken. Shortly
before his death Mrs. Smell was at
his bedside, and had left him for
the night, confident of his improve
ment when notified of his serious
condition. Mr.. Smell died before his
wife arrived at the hospital.
Mr.. Louis Smell was a travelling
salesman for the Lexington Dry
Goods Company, and by his pleasing
and agreeable manner had made
numerous friends in Mt. Sterling
and throughout the Bluegrass who
will be grieved to learn of his un-
timely death. Mr.. and Mrs. Smell
were married four years ago, the
latter was formerly Miss Myrtle
Riley, daughter of Judge j. W. Riley,
of Morehead, Ky.
Mr.. Smell was a cousin of Messrs.
Victor and Harold w. Smell, of
Bourbon county, and a brother of
James Smell, of Lexington. He is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Myrtle
R. Smell, of Paris; his mother, two
brothers and a sister, all residents
of Lexington.

NEW HONOR FOR THE
BUREAU or VITAL STATISTICS

As has been known to the profess
sions 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 re-
turns of the Bureau of Vital Statis-
ties in order to ascertain whether
or not Kentucky was entitled to adj
mission into the recently established
federal registration area for births,
as was done for deaths the year af-
ter the law on this subject was
passed.
The investigation was a most
comprehensive and far-reaching
one. Inquiries were sent to all
clergymen, pOstmasters, rural route
carriers and women's clubs in the
state as to every birth coming to
their knowledge within selected per-
iods and each name thus obtained
was checked against the original
birth certificates of physicians and
midwives on the permanent files of
our Bureau of Vital Statistics.
As the result of this careful and
painstaking investigation, the State
Board of Health has been formally
notified that Kentucky is admitted
into the registration area. This
honor will be the more appreciated
by 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 Federal birth area.
In cOnfering this honor upon our
State, the Director of the Census
paid a high compliment to those
charged with the administration of
our law and especially to the effic-
cheney and the faithfulness of the
rank and file of our registrars. In
striking contrast with this high
praise of the Director voiced one
note of severe 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 re-
ports to the local registrars 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
time in the history of this country
when the facts recorded by vital
statistics authorities were so impor-
tant as now, in the face of the diff
firulties many young men encounter
in showing their exact age under
the selective draft law. With the
cooperation of parents and espec-
tally of mothers, to see that the
property and other rights of every
child born to them are safe guarded
by the prompt certifcation of its
birth and parentage are made mat
tiers of permanent official record by
the county, the state and the nation,
as the law provides, and as every
physician and registrar is paid to
do, no such difficulties 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 certifi-
Gates will become a part of the Of
fetal records of the National Gov
eminent.

ARE YOU NERVOUS?
Maybe There Is a Cause for II That
You Can Correct.

Many who suffer from 5aokache
and weak kidneys are unnaturally
irritable, fretful and nervous. Not
only does constant backache ."get
on the nerves." but bad kidneys fail
to eliminate all the uric acid from
the system, and uric acid irritates
the nerves, keeping one con edge"
and causing rheumatic, neuralgia
pains. When suffering so, try Doan's
Kidney Pills, the medicine so WE'LL
recommended by Mt. Sterling people.
Read this Mt. Sterling residents
statement:
Mrs. L. B. Wren, III Locust St.,
Mt. Sterling, says: "Several years
ago, l had an attack of kidney
trouble. / suffered with my back

toms of kidney trouble"

CLEAN HEALTHY WHEAT
SEED ESSENTIAL

Sound, clean, healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely in
creased wheat crop which the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
hopes TO see harvested next year.
Whatever the source of supply
farmers viii find it to their adj
vantage, says the department, TO see
that only good seed is planted.
What has been said is equally true
of seed for the rye crop which the
department hopes to see much
larger than usual next year.
If farmer has seed from his
own crop which is satisfactory so
far as variety and general condition
are concerned, he should lose no
time in getting it into shape for
storage until planting time. The
tanning mill is the farmers best
friend in this task. The farmer, by
all means should have such mill
and if he has not and is unable to
obtain one, should borrow or rent
his neighbours mill, or several farm
ers can join in buying one. A fan
ming mill removes weed seeds, smut
and shriveled grain and leaves only
plump kernels, practically every one
of which may be depended upon 70
produce a thrifty plant. After it is
cleaned, however, the seed should |
be treated in order that the smut |
may be prevented. Scab is less
likely to be prevented by seed treat
ment, but the use of the tanning mill
will assist materially in improving
the crop grown from seed known to
have contained seabby kernels.
If the farmer is dependent on
outside sources for his seed he
should buy from his neighbor if pos
sible so that he may be more likely
20 get seed well adapted to his con-
1t is advisable to buy as
soon after harvest as possible as
at this time prices are likely to be
lowest. If the farmer delays, his
neighbors may dispose of all their
surplus grain and he may be forced
to plant seed grown under conditions
radically different from his own. If
the farmer patronizes q scotsman he
should insist on getting seed grown
as near his section as possible.
If seed is affected by diseases,
careful inspection will usually dis
close the fact. The presence of
sinking smut in wheat is indicated
by the odor and the presence of
scab by the appearance of the kerr
nels. Purchased seed should, of
course, be cleaned and treated for
The destruction of the spores of
iisease-producing fungi, if the ex-
animation shows this to be neces-
sary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the ex-
oeriences of his neighbOrs and the
advice of his State Experiment Sta
ion. This is true also of rye, but
here are available fewer varieties
Of rye than of, wheat. The stations
can furnish comparative statistics
IN the yields and behavior of
number of varieties of the two
cereals.
After the grain farmer has pro-
cured supply of satisfactory seed
ne should store it carefully so that
t will keep in good condition and
will be safe from the depredations
IF rats, mice and insects. Bins
which are supposedly rat proof are .
available on practically all farms
and it will pay farmers to see that
hey are kept in good condition to
eep out the rodents.

BED Cross WORK
WITH BABIES


A group of specialists in infant
welfare has been sent to France by
the American Red Cross. AT its head
Is DR.. William p Lucas, professor
of pediagodics in the University of
California, and originator of the
"Save a Belgian Baby" movement.
Before the war the birth rate and
death rate in France were so near
ly equal that publicitsts voiced their
concern over the future Of the ma
tional life. Last year, however, with
the death rate probably over 20 per
1000, not counting deaths of men in
military service, the birthrate was
officially estimated at nearly s per
1000. In New York State the birth
rate is % or "a per 1000, the death
rate about ii per 1000.
The total deaths in France in
1916 were about 100000. Births
numbered only $4,000. The net
loss in population was 7SS,O00, or
nearly two per cent. of the whole.
In Paris, where 1917 babies were
born in the year ending August l,
1914, only 26,179 were born in the
second year of the war, ending Aug
ust l, 1916.
"There is a crying need for eff
fective work among children" cables
Major Grayson NJ. P. Murphy, head
of the American Red Cross Commits
sion now in France. He reports that
there is great need for doctors and
nurses for work with mothers and
children, and the Infant Welfare
Unit will be prepared to give such
immediate relief as it can.
With DIR. Lucas in the Unit, which
was financed by Mrs. William Low
ell Putnam, of Boston, are DR.. ].
Morris Slemons, of the Yale Medical
School, one of the best known of
American obstetricians; DIR. Julius
Parker Sedgwick, physiological
chemist, professor at the University
of Minnesota; DR.. John C. Baldwin,
specialist in diseases of children;
DIR. Claim f, Gelston, DR.. Lucas as
sistant at the University of Cali
fOrnia; DIR. N. o. Pearce, another
specialist, and the following experts
in sociology and child welfare work
Mrs. J. Morris Slefons, Mrs. William
P. Lucas, Miss Elizabeth Ashe, and
Miss Rosamund Glider, daughter of
the poet.
These specialists will survey the
situation and study the work al
ready being done by the French, and
will practice without receiving
compensation from patients. The
task before the Red Cross, which
will be carried on by this and sue
ceeding units, is not only to coop
crate with French specialists but
also to carry on a general educa-
tiOnal campaign among French moth
ers in the interest of better prenatal
hygiene and scientific feeding and
care of the babies. Special efforts
will be made to protect children from
tubercular infection, which is par
threatening France today
as a result of trench warfare.

After a mark or brand has been reg.

Therefore l would advise that every

MAN SEES RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

Some new interesting viewpoints of
the world war were disclosed by Vic

ative who returned from wal ridden
Europe, June 10Th.
Starting last Christmas, Mr.. van der

den, Finland and Russia, doing special
technical work for the Goodrich com
pany. He spent considerable time in
Moscow and Petrograd. Mr.. van der
Linde was in the Russian capitol when
the revolution broke out and witness

Il have great confidence in the new
in the struggle against German auto
cracy," said Mr.. a der Linde. The
new government is determined to
stand shoulder to shoulder with Eng
land, France and the United States.
The soldiers are owe anxious to con-
tinue the fight. But the dissension has
been among the working men engaged
in manufacturing munitions of war.
The workers are virtually on a general
strike for higher wages.
The American Commission headed
by Elihu Root have put new conf
dence into the Russian people. When
the workers return to their shops and
supply the soldiers with clothing, food
and ammunition, Russia will fight as
she never has before in her history"
Before Mr.. van der Linde's recent
trip, he was associated with the Paris
Office of the B. F. Goodrich
Since the outbreak of the world war,
he was in close touch with the Good
rich factory at Colonies, France. "You
have no idea said Mr.. van der Linde,
