them from leading man into the pit
falls which beset over-indulgencc.
Hunger is the great stimulus Of &C
ton but when II is satisfied 10 sat-
iety, sodden inactivity follows. II
the natural appetite is allowed 10
dominate, IL leads TO over-indulgence
and the unwary victim suddenly
finds himself in trap from which
he cannot escape.
One Of the great elements in
maintaining health is the reg,l,-
ton Of the bodily intake TO meet the
appetite. The man who works with
his hands requires more food than
the brain worker. The man who
labors in the open air needs more
nourishment than he who sits COOP
ed in an Office all day long. Give
the sedentary worker the appetite Of
the day laborer and il that appetite
be uncontrolled the body will be-
come clogged with the poisonous
products of its own manufacture

too much as IL Is 10 eat too little.
To indulge the appetite 10 too great
an extent is surely as pernicious
as its constant repression. The best
Is TO be found in an average course,
neither over nor under-indulgence,
neither the following Of the Incl
astic dietary nor the promiscuous
and ill-considered use Of foods.
Many a soc lied case
OF dyspepsia is nothing in the world
but the rebellion of an over-worked
stomach, the remonstrance OF
body which has been stuffed TO re-
pletion. A great deal has been &C
complished in the reduction OF in
FAINT mortality because we are able
TO control what infants eat. Adults
must for themselves exercise this
self-control. II this is done there
will be decline in our adult NOR
tality rates and an increase in
health and efficiency.

A REAL TREAT AHEAD

We wonder whether our citizens
realize fully the importance OF the
rural school and rural conference
which will meet at the Western State
Normal, February 10. This promises
10 be one of the most important con-
fercnces having TO do with the rural
life ever held in Kentucky. The con-
ference is>held in the interest OF
better government better roads,
better agriculture. better schools,
better churches and better homes.
The array OF talent that is an
nounced will take part in the pro-
gram is sufficient TO assume the
success Of the conference.
DR.. Cherry, PRECEDENT Of the West
ern State Normal. has been engaged
in building this program for several
months past. He never does things
by halves and from the announce
ments so far given out, treat is IN
store for all who attend.
DR.. Cherry will far surpass any
of his previous efforts along this
line. The railroads have made a
reduction in rates for the confer
ence and this added TO the program
offered will attract hundreds Of peo-
pie from out Of the State.

GOVERNOR srANLEYs COURAGE

We quote the following from the
Richmond Paragraph which is in
accord with our policy.
while Governor Stanley has done
many things that we could not in
dorse, yet we commend and praise
his splendid courage when without
q soldier or without rifle he faced
the Infatuated mob at Murray and
gave that mob 10 understand that
the law must be supernatural
they could kill the Judge whom they
had threatened and the Negro pris-
oner only by killing him first. II
was a splendid exhibition OF cour-
age. A little spectacular, IL is true,
vet sometimes the spectacular ap-
peals TO men and awes them when
they would not otherwise be turned
from their purpose. II is fortunate
for State or a Nation when its
Chief Executive stands at all haz-
ards for the protection Of its citi-
zens.
Re il understood that the Panta-
graph is Republican newspaper,
but he il understood that in com
mending Governor Stanley's act we

,viples-fof that ia Republcanism at
its best-it is Democracy at jtS best.

quiet the child opened her hand.
''What is it, dear?" her mother ask
