THIRD NUMBER OF THE
KENTUCKY MAGAZINE OUT

The August number Of the Ken
lucky Magazine, which first made its
appearance three months ago, is now
off the press, and the current edition
of "the States own" bids fair to
eclipse the high mark of popularity
which followed the perusal of even
the first number of the publication
The Kentucky Magazine, devoted as
it is to the interests of and things
of interest in the grand old Common
wealth, is increasing the number of
its readers by leaps and bounds, and
the current number, in which the
work of several new contributors ap-
pears, will find its way into many
homes of the Bluegrass State.
Several of the articles appearing
in the August number of the Ken
lucky Magazine are of particular in
terest to Louisville readers, dealing
with matters with which the people
of Louisville already are more or
less acquainted. A prominent posi-
tion is given a review of the visit
here late in July of the Belgian
Special Mission to the United
States. The article is by Louis p.
McNeely, of The Times staff, mark
ing his initial effort as a magazine
writer. Bert Finck's article on
madison Cawein and Kindred
Souls" also will be read with pleas
ure by the many friends of the late
Mr.. Cawein, whose fame was wide
spread even before his death. DR..
John L. Patterson, dean of the
University of Louisville, deals with
educ cational Problems in Primary,
Secondary and Advanced Educa-
ton" "Milestones and Stumbling
Blocks" a humor short story by
Eliza Calvert Hall, lends the spice
of variety, while the other articles
uphold the high standard which the
Kentucky Magazine has set out to
maintain.
Webster p. Huntington is editor
of the Kentucky Magazine, which is
published in Mt. Sterling by the
State Magazine Publishing Com
Times.

And more strongly convinced than
ever of the growing popularity of
the drugless idea. Today we are
face to face with two principle
health theories.
The drugless theory, while old in
principle, and for ages practiced in
a limited way through devious forms,
is, in a larger sense, of recent gen.
eral use. The present generation,
more than past ones, are educated
to the study of the body and of the
relation of Natural laws thereto.
With this increasing knowledge of
self, the individual is educating him
self away from the erroneous health
ideas of unnatural principles into q
belief in and practice of drugless
health methods. Statistics are not
admissible here, but available else
where to show the phenomenal
growth Of drugless adherents
in twenty years. More than
one fourth of our population
now use some form of drugless
practice for their health needs. This

Chiropractic conforms to all the re-

THE POWER OF THE BODY
The chief contention of Chiro-

pressure on nervous tissue, and that
when this pressure is relieved ease
is re-estabished. The normal body
will maintain itself in a healthy
state. 1t has power to eject poisons
from the stomach, to make antidotes
to those introduced into the circula-
ton, to heal a wound or knit
broken bone. Nature working
through a normally adjusted body,
has power to heal disease no matter
of what nature. A body set right
mechanically will speedily bring it.

for it. If your health is less than
normal you should be interested in

ROW over PUMP
City Commissioners Refuse to
o. X. Plans of NeWland.
Want to Know That Engine
Will Do Work Needed.

Frank NJ. Newland, com missioner of
water and lights, today locked horns
with the city commissioners. Not a
commissioner would second a motion
made by Newland providing that the
city enter into contract for purchas-
ing an electric pump at the water
works after Newland had changed the
terms of the contract to comply with
suggestions made by George P. Hay
den, city attorney. at a meeting held
Thursday when the contract was turn
ed down for the first time.

it was announced the motion was lost
for lack of a second. Il do not under
stand why the other commissioners

we know We'll be up against water

engineer to make a report on that

in direct violation of his suggestions
Porter referred to suggestion
made in the engineers report that the
center of three large wells be used as
a storage well. Instead of using that
well a fourth one was dug for that
purpose last year and the pump New
land wishes to purchase would be con-
nected with that well, not in operation
at the present time. NeWland de-
clared he could prove this fourth well
can be used fer storage purposes far
more efficiently than the one suggest
ed for that purpose in the engineers
report.
I'VE wish authority from some au-
thoritative source that these pumps
and wells you are digging are the
proper steps to take continued Por-
ter.

sioners meeting Thursday that the

that a reliable electrical supply firm
had guaranteed a secondhand cleo
trio pump at Wichita and presented a
contract for the purchase of the pump
which he asked the commissioners to
aui horize the mayor to sign. The COM
missioners refused to entertain his mo-
ton, stating that while the contract
provided that the pump would be in
stalled in workable condition, it did
not specify, whether that -worka BILE
condition would be satisfa Glory for the
work the pump was expected to do
in Topeka. The pump was used by a
cracker factory in Wichita. Newland
changed the contract to comply with
these suggestions. The price demand
ed for the pump is $4,000.
Perhaps we should have plans and
specifications for the work we are do
ing" said Newland. but it is doubt
full if we wait for them whether we
will have sufficient water for our
lawns this summer
