COMPANY EMPLOYEES
RAISE POTATOES.

More than 200 bushels of potatoes
were raised by the employees of the
Kentucky Traction and Terminal
Company this year along the right
of way of the company. These po-
tatoes will be distributed among the
married employees of the company at
81 a bushel. This price is between
sixty and seventy cents below the
wholesale cost.
The potatoes were raised on every
piece of ground belonging to the
company along the right of way and
in the two-acre park at Frankfort.
They were raised on cooperative
basis and were cultivated by sec
ton hands during their spare time.
/ This is the first time in the his
| tory of the road that this plan has
been put in operation and it is ex-
pected that for the period of the wa
at least, potatoes will continue to be
raised along the right of way in or
der to help increase the food supply.
Another cooperative step taken
by the traction company is in tax
ing out the Jumps from the run OF
mine coal and furnish them to en-
ployes of the road at cost.
1t is the opinion of officials of the
company that by aiding its en-.
ployes in these ways that they will
get increased service from them.

BEATS THE WOODEN NUTMEG
... GAME ALL RIGHT.

The war is used as an excuse for
many queer stunts An old fellow
dropped into Winchester recently
and had for sale a potato slicer, one
that would save peeling and put the
potato in fine shape for cooking. He
said it was a wonderful thing to
conserve food. When he displayed
it at a store there was a great rush
to get one at 60 cents each. Among
the purchasers were Judge George
Nelson, Hon. H. G.. Garrett, P. P.
Evans, Doc Tuck Anderson, Jailer
James S. Mullins, P. D. Avent, Louis
Hamilton, T. S. Kerr and others.
When Mr.. Kerr took his home and
proudly handed it to his wife she
said she had one just like it. She
had gotten it for 10 cents. Mr.. Kerr
told the rest of the crowd, and now
it comes out that the old fellow had
gone to a store and bought them
and resold to the "conservers" al
so cents profit.

CARING FOR TEN CHILDREN is
NOT so HARD SINCE SHE
TOOK TANLAC

'I've got big house and a lot Of
work to do, but can do it without
any trouble since Tanlac improved
my health" said Mrs. Anna Kamp-
sen, 1903 Monroe street, Covington,
KY.
Mrs. Kampsen is the mother of
ten children and she said the work
of caring for them used to be pretty
hard.
Before I took Tanlac I wasn't
able to sleep more than one or two
hours a night and I got very little
rest" she said. 'Td get up in the
mornings feeling bad and would
have spells of weakness and dizzi-
ness through the day.
my stomach was in bad condi-
ton, too. No kind of food looked
good to me, and always was in
misery after eating. I'd have sick,
dull feeling in my stomach.
"Well, since taking Tanlac, !
sleep seven or eight hours every
night without waking and get up
in mornings feeling ready for my
work. The spells of weakness and
dizziness are gone and I can walk
eight or ten blocks now without tir-
ing.
"My appetite has come back, too,
and I'm eating and enjoying my
food as I haven't done for a pretty
long time.

thing if think it is good and I GER

New and drastic regulations gov
erning the movement of all Ger

entirely prohibits travel by water

and also requires all Germans to
register and report periodically to
whatever authority is designated by
the Attorney General. The District
of Columbia and the Canal Zone are
forbidden as residences and no Ger
man may approach any water front,
railroad terminals, wharves, storage
houses or such other places as the
Attorney General may name closer
than 100 yards. officials emphasize
that lawabiding Germans will be
annoyed as little as possible. Pen

SHELBYVuLE - FRANKFORT
ELECTRIC LINE.

Work on the construction of a
traction line from Frankfort to
Shelbyville will begin in the early
part Of the spring. Although it IS
not yet known what the line will
cost it will probably be in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
When the line is completed there
will be continuous trolley line
from Lexington to Chicago.
w. E. Phillips, of New York,
who has organized the Frankfort &
Shelbyville Railway Company, COM
posed of New York capitalists, was
in Lexington last week to make &C.
quaintances and to go over the pro
posed route of the new traction
road.
Mr.. Phillips stated that his COM
pany had secured an option on al
the land needed for the right Of
way.
1t is probable that when the new
road is completed an agreement viii
be made with the Kentucky Trac
ton e Terminal Company whereby
the cars of one of the other company
will be run through from LeXing
ton through to Shelbyville, ana
there the passengers will change
cars for Louisville. At Louisville
they will again change cars ant
can take an express trolley for Chi
cago and way places.
