Tomorrow Is Liberty Day."

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 22.-Gov. STAN
ley issued a proclamation designating
Wednesday, Oct. "a, as legal holi-
day to be known as Liberty Day."
In his proclamation he says:
Gan, however willing, cannot serve
on the field of battle. Armies are moi
self sustaining. They must be pro-
vided with all things necessary to
their efficiency, and success by gen.
erous government for whose perpet-
uity they willingly risk their lives and
endure the perils and privation of
camp and field. II is the imperative
duty for every citizen in proportion to
his means, to answer this national call
of his county. Let every patriotic
Kentuckian first do his duty, that he
may the better urge his neighbor to
emulate his example"

Younpster Lacked Humor.

A pig In q crate is novel enough to
capture city attention any day in the
year. The crate stood on a pavement
In front of an express office, and the
black-and-white spotted porker, with
Its quivery nose and cup-handled tail,
accepted his prison bars with the
philosophy Of a race that spends most
Of its years doing time in a pen.
Naturally, passing people gave the
show a word or giggle of comment, and
one ragtag boy shrilled out to any one
who would listen:
'Ketch on to de c'nary in de cage r.
"That isn't a canary bird. It's a
pig"
The entirely correct diagnosis was
voiced by little chip whose neatness
showed for q mothers tenderest care.
He couldn't take a joke, but 1t was
equally obvious that never. never would
be take, say, a pocketbook that didn't
belong 10 him. e-,-s~ -
But the look Of plying scorn on the
ragtag's face and his whoop of deri-
sion brought round of outlaws that
would have done credit to a Chaplin

SIMPLE DIET AND EXERCISE
Road to Health for Many Man Who
Is Suffering the Tortures Of
Dyspepsia.

The sin of gluttony is common, and
therefore much condoned, but like every
other violation of natures laws have a
penalty. Fat, inefiiciency, sluggish men
tally, the Redeemed nose, the pimpled
face, certain of the chronic skin erup-
uons and much fatigue and nervous
ness are due to the abuse of the diges-
tive apparatus. Rich, indlgestible foods
in large quantities, highly seasoned to
stimulate jaded palate, are forced into
body already rebellious from reple-
ton. Exercise is largely limited to
walking to and from the table and
bodily deterioration proceeds rapidly.
Many an Overfed dyspeptic, sudden
ly dragged by the stern hand of cir
cumstances from life of physical ease
and plenty and forced to work out of
doors, suddenly discovers that his
semi-invalidism has gone, that a
chronic skin arrangement of many
years standing has disappeared and
that q new vigor and rest Of life has
been given him.
Not everyone can spend his whole
time In the open air, but a certain
amount of exercise and plain, whole
some food In an amount not exceed
ing the body's needs can be had by al
most everyone. Simple moderate diet
and exercise make for health. These
are not faddish food theories, they
are just plain common sense.

GREAT DIVERSITY or TONGUE
Over -Four Thousand Languages Are
Spoken and Written by Va
rIous Peoples

How many persons know how many
languages there are in the world I
The average mans knowledge or abil-
ity 20 speak languages rarely exceeds
two besides his native tongue. The
Emperor Francis Joseph, when visit
ing a Red Cross hospital. spoke with
the patients In their own languages.
II may appear strange, but It Is new
ertheless true, that there are over A.
600 languages spoken by mankind,
while the number Of dialects exceeds
this. There are more than sixty vo-
cabularies in Brazil, and in Mexico the
Nahua is broken up into some 700 di-
alects. There are hundreds in Borneo,
while In Australia there is no classl-
flying the complexities. Let us as
sumo that 90 dialects, on an average,
belong to each language, and we have
the colossal total of quarter of mill
lion linguistic abilities.
A century hence the probability is
that there will be only four languages
of Importance in the world. Central
Europe may produce a newer and more
straight forward German language,
English may reign alone over the
North American continent, and a more
business-like Spanish will be used In
South American states, while Russia
may take on some more rich Slavonic
dialect, which will blend the races of
eastern Europe and central Asia into
a harmonious federation.

HUNS GET A
TRANSPORT
And Seventy Lives Are Lost
Out Of 4S7 That We're
On Board.

The American army transport An
TILES, homeward bound under con-
voy, was torpedoed and sunk by a
German submarine in the war zone
Wednesday. About seventy men are
missing and probably lost.
All the army and navy officers
aboard and the ships master were
among the 1877 survivors. Themiss-
ing are members of the crew, three
civilian engineers, some enlisted men
of the navy and sixteen of thirty
three soldiers returning home for
various reasons. Neither the subma-
rine nor the torpedo was seen and the
transport, hit squarelY amidshih, sank
in FIVE minutes.
This tragedy, the first in which an
American ship, engaged in war duty,
has been lost, is the first Of magnitude
to bring home to the people Of the
United States the rigors of the war
on which they have engaged against
Germany. 1t carries the largest cas-
ualty list of the war of American
lives and marks the first success of
German submarine attacks on Ameri-
can transports.
The following enlisted naval per-
sonnel were lost:
E, L. Kinsey, seaman, second class,
next of kin Thomas NJ. Kinsey, faith
er, Water Valley, Miss; j. w. Hunt, |

CITY TAXES

Under Section 34O0 OF the
Kentucky Statutes, interest al
the rate Of eight per centum
per annum is now being add.
ed to all upsid city taxes.
This interest has been running
since October /, 1917, on tax
cs for the year 1917, and il
said taxes are paid now very
little interest will have to be
paid. On all city taxes for the
year 1917, which remain un-
paid on the first day Of De-
cember, 1917, an additional
penalty of 6 per centum will
be added.
The city officials have no
desire to inflict the payment
of interest and penalties on
the tax payers, but the law
makes it my duty to collect
the interest and penalty above
mentioned if taxes are not
paid before the dates on which
said interest and penalty, un-
der the law, are added.
Persons, firms and corpora
tons who have not paid their
city taxes are requested to set
tie same now and thereby es-
cape the payment of future in
terest and penalty.

Henderson's Grocer's View.

John Lambert, of the Lambert gro
cery firm, Henderson, says sugar is
selling at 1915 wholesale at present,
but that it must be sold at $7.75 un-
der government supervision when
the beet sugar crop is placed on the
market the latter part of November.
He says it would be folly for the pub
lie to purchase more than six weeks
supply, because it would be sold one
cent on the pound cheaper when the
government price is effective.

Argue but Don't wranuIe.

In ordinary life friction is some
thing to be avoided. Argument that de-
serves the name is too difficult thing
for daily practice, calling as it does
for such painstaking care in the ex-
pressing exactly of ones ideas to
avoid their being misunderstood, for
such patience to listen, to wait ones
turn. to keep ones temper.
Dependent upon all these things for
its very existence, argument simply
cannot be entered upon carelessly
without degenerating into mere
wrangling.
II you have the fatal habit of turn
ing conversation into argument you
are nothing more or less than q
