good advice. AS the time went on, the
more he thought of the advice the bet
ter he liked it. He could go to bed. He
would have heavy cold, quick conges'
ton, anything that encessitated great
caution. He called up the office and
ordered some hasty drugs to make a
showing with. He took the heavy white
blankets from the bed and piled the
pillows on the cough, drew the small
stand near and arranged his bottles
around temptingly. Then, as 1880
drew near, and he knew 1t was time
for their arrival, he stretched out un-
der the covers, after phoning the clerk
at the desk to tell Mrs. Henry Hardy
his sister, when she arrived, that he
was Ill and to reserve the best suite
for her and Miss Granger.
Caroline received the message in
blank amazement. She was short and
plump and aggressive. Evelyn, beside
her, was a slender lily Of the garden.

The clerk was inclined to the opin-

send the hotel physician up.

Caroline explained. Evelyn, dear,

HEALTH. HINTS

People who are on their feet a
whole lot often suffer from varieose
veins.
This is because they do not walk
enough to permit the leg muscles to
push the blood through the veins.
The blood has an uphill climb from
the legs to the heart, Standing CON.
gests the veins with blood. The veins
stretch. dilate and become curved and
we have q typical case Of yaricose
veins.
Frequently the trouble starts with
an itching or eczema Of the legs. 9th.
er times there Is a pain and swelling
and sometime sa chronic ulcer devel.
ops. Hardly ever does a vein burst
with great loss Of blood.
Naturally any form Of exercise that
calls the leg muscles into use will
help prevent varicose veins.
After they have developed they may
be relieved by rest. At such times
the feet should be kept up above the
body level as much as possible SO that
the force of gravity does not add to
the stagnation.
Flannel bandages will also give re-
lief. by supporting the veins.
These wrappings should be cut on a
bias to give elasticity and wound
around the legs from the bottom up.
Varicose veins may usually be cur.
ed by an operation in which the dis
eased veins are dissected.
The veins in the legs are numerous.
When the diseased veins are cut out
other small veins enlarge and take up
the blood formerly carried by the yes
sells removed by the surgeon.

Sunday will be especially important as
the Somerset school is attempting to
have the greatest attendance 1t ever

Nicholasville. Every man in Mays

might well attend this Maysville

big a lead in the contest.

DRAFT ARMY
VIII BE Placed In is Camps Instead
32 as Previously Planned-Change
Upsets Tentative Plans For
Location OF CantOnments.

Washington, June Important re-
visions in the plan for training the
war army have been made by the
War Department, which announced
today that the half million men to be
called to the colors in September will
be concentrated in sixteen canton
ments instead Of thirty-two and that
many of the forces would be put into
tents instead of wooden barracks.
Lack Of funds, material labor and
transportation facilities, Secretary
Baker, said were determining infu-
ences in the decision to reduce the
number of cantonments. The previous
plan to build thirty-two of the camps
was reached, it was explained, after
Congress had appropriated $77,OOO,OOO
on the theory that there would be on
ly sixteen.
For time the larger number SEEM
ed practicable, but that would have
made a much greater demand on the
overtaxed resources that the govern
ment commands.
Although the charge will upset all
the tentative plans for camp loca-
ton made by department comman-
ders, it is not expected to delay be-
yond September the mobilization
of the great draft army. Four of the
sixteen cantonment sites, provided for
under the new plan, already have
been selected and choice of the others
is expected soon.
Secretary Baker indicated that the
building would proceed as rapidly as
possible. The four sites selected are
at American Lake, Wash, Atlanta,
Ca, Ayre, Mass, and Wrightstown,
N. ].
Secretary Baker said that forces in
excess of those who would be taken
care of in the sixteen camps would
be placed under canvas.
| This was taken as referring to Ma
tional Guard division, although the
militia bureau has received no in
structions in this regard.
There is no indication of an inten-
tion to alter the plan for formation
of sixteen divisions of the guards
The question of bringing these up tC
war strength probably will not bt
settled until selection of men for SER
vice In the draft army begins. 1t il
possible that it will be found better
in that time if the state forces have
not been recruited to full strength t
consolidate is a smaller number O
divisions, but under the law, eithel
the regulars or guards can be built VI
from men from the selective list i
that is desired.
Meanwhile the national guard unit
of the eastern portion of the countr.
will be drafted into the federal arm.
on July Is. All of the guard unit
will have been drafted into fedora
service by August s.
Presumably the best equipped an
recruited forces will be made read
first for duty abroad, but there ha
been no announcement as to tn
plans to be followed. More than CO.
900 guardsmen are now engaged i
police work, guarding bridges, factor
les and other quarters, and that wor
will have to be kept up.
