Of u Full Time County Health Ofiieer
For Mason County.

The campaign In the county during
the past summer for better health
disease prevention, although mark
eddy successful is far from belng
completed. In fact health work Is
never completed for to ever further
the continuance of good health cen
slant war fare must BIO waged, the
germs OF disease on one side, nell
cal science on the other.
A good start has been made In Ma
son county, In nearly 800 homes the
dangers of soil pollution have boon
absolutely done away with. Nearly
all diaries are now furnishing 30 per
cent better milk, sanitation Of the
schools has progressed and the gen.
eral public know at least the reasons
and Importance Of health propaganda
Mason county took hold Of tllf
work and a great interest was mail
tested in fact more applications were
received for the Inhalation OF Sani-
tary Privies than 1t was possible to
install, during the warm months and
with the labor available.
It would be a great calamity to 8, II
the work now, 1t must go on, and to
keep 1t going full time county
health officer is absolutely essential
BY such an officer Is meant, a reru"
table physician who will devote his
entire time to this great work OF
disease prevention. He would see
that the installation of sanitary priv
les continued, that the diaries main
tanned at all times standard In keep
| ing with the now existing State law,
that a regular school inspection tool
place at certain intervals, that a true
record of births, sickness and death
was kept, something badly needed II
this county, and that the health law
were properly inforced, not an cas-.
job but a mighty important one.
Now to create such an Office tafe
money and the State Board Of Hea Oh
has agreed to contribute a minimum
of $500 per year towards the main
tainance of such an Office provided
the county raises like amount. The
State Board of Health further agrees
that for the continuation Of the work
in any of its phases it will give dol
lar for every dollar that may be
raised in Mason county.
There are other counties in Ken
lucky which have raised the neces-
sary money and are petitioning the
state to add the necessary amount for
county health officer, but the State
Eoard of Health has turned down all
these applications as they believe
best results will be obtained in Ma
son county after the way has been
aved thus far. In this way Mason
county gets first consideration.
In order to get some idea of pub
tic sentiment for full time county
Lealth officer petitions have been in
circulation requesting the county
commissioners to take steps to create
such an office, one petition, at pres
ent. being at the Chamber of Com
merce.
The cost to the taxpayers in Mason
county for health officer amounts to
about cents per home year, not
a big investment for big return.
Other counties have full health Of
fcers why not Mason, and to have a
health organization here to carry on
the work will be the best single piece
Ct advertising this county has ever
undertaken.

Going Too Far, Says
Emery, Discouraging
Added Improvements

'I think that it is about time to call
a halt on any new work OF this kind"
said Mayor H. F. Emery. when the
city commission today took UP the
matter of paving Ninth avenue north.
I'm the first place there is about all
the work arranged for that can be
done this season. and IL this thing is
allowed to continue, taxes will reach
such a point next year and years fol-
lowing that a roar will go up that will
hurt the city. =.
II probably will not be on the city
commission when petitions come in
for much more new work, but /, for
one. believe the limit has been reached,
and would vote against piling up any
more expense.
Il predict that by 1919 the people of
this city will wonder what has hap
pened when they come to pay their
taxes. II things go on as they have
been"
Mayor Emery stated, after the meet
ing, when asked further about the
matter, by q Forum representative,
that he did not believe that the peo-
pie of the city realize exactly what
they are going up against. He called
attention to the fact that practically
every bit OF special improvement I'M
dertaken or contemplated has been
done at the request of the people, who
have petitioned for these improve
ments. ...
81 think that things have now
reached a point where q halt should
be called by the city commission, and
I think that the people should wake
up to the fact that they now have
about all that can be cared for" said
Mayor Emery.

rying ammunition and unconditional
contraband even a stronger challenge
to Germany?
THE correspondent also overlooks
the recent exciting congress debate,
otherwise he could not send the I'M
contradicted claim that the American
government will do nothing to arouse
the feelings of America against Ger
many. What was the betrayal of our
proposal of an alliance with Mexico
but a means to arouse sentiment hos
tile to Germany? Why did Senator
Stone, who uprightIy seeks peace. throw
himself with all his influence against
the most recent act of President Will
son unless because in his conviction
and that of almost the entire congress,
it meant war?
"And does the writer think that peace
is promoted by the utterance of Presi-
dent Wilson awarding Alsace Lorraine
to France?
Certainly President Wilson does not
want war, IL he can secure our defeat
without 1t. But he will do all to secure
this defeat and If 1t is impossible other
wise he will not hesitate to make war;"

Million Dollar Year.

When asked about the amount Of
special Improvements that are to be
undertaken this year, and for which
contracts have been let or for which
petitions are in asking for the i'm
provements, City Engineer f. L.
Anders said. including the paw
ing work that was left over from last
year. the total will be approximately
81, 600, 900.
Including the paving that was left
over from last year, paving so far con-
tracted for this season, and that for
which preliminary arrangements are
being made preparatory to calling for
bids, will amount to about 100000.
The new trunk sewer and other sew
ers will amount to $350,000, and the
water mains, small sewers, sewer and
water connections and sidewalk work
will bring the total up to nearly ST.
100000, If not exceeding that amount.
Plans Are Ordered.
Despite the mayors protest on fur
ther paving, the commission ordered
the city engineer to prepare plans for
the pavement of Ninth avenue from
Broadway to Thirteenth streets, minus,
Of course. the paved portions Of inter-
secting streets. and Eleventh and
Twelfth streets, half block back on
each side from Ninth avenue.
Originally, the plan was to also pave
two blocks Of Tenth avenue north be-
tween Tenth and Thirteenth streets,
and the balance Of the intersecting
streets to connect with paving already
in or contracted for. A protest against
the paving of this particular avenue
and the intersecting streets was
brought in, being signed by practically
every property owner affected, that
work being abandoned.

Black Declares Rights of

Canadians are not required to return

So declares w. e. Black, Grand

in a letter to Fred knight, Central lio-

The point was raised in the publica-
ton of an article recently, describing
the return to Canada Of a Fargo Wis

protect his property interests.
Il am very glad you drew my at

Making Fun l. Serious Business.

Charlie Chaplin in Woman's Home
Companion: Making fun is serious
business. 1t calls for deep study and
concentrated observation. Fun that
causes some people to laugh makes
others frown. That can't be helped.
What matters is--to make most of the
people laugh most Of the time. How
to do this is the problem.
The principal thing you've got to do
to keep an audience in. good humor is
to make them think they are superior
to you in intelligence. You've got to
be the clown.
Pride comes before a fall, we are
told. Well, there Is nothing so funny
as upset dignity. Visualize a bloated
capitalist with Dundreary whiskers,
light trousers. spats. frock coat silk
hat. all the insignia of a million dol
Tors more or less.
Now when the capitalists whislSers
are pulled by an abandoned funny
man, the audience is convulsed. There
is fun in striking contract. One
minute there is a picture of pride and
dignity, austere. exclusive. apart from
common humanity. II reach out cas-
ually and hook that chap with the
crook OF nv cane. drag him almost on
his feet. pull his Dundrearys and step
casually on his silk hat. a wave of
mirth surges over the house. Perhaps
people don't know why. But do. 1t
is because they never in all their lives
believed anybody would have the
efgrontery to pull miIlionaire's
whiskers or step on his hat

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is very
injurious, as ii dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap.
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in. about teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abund-.
ance Of rich. creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fuffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides. Ii loosens
and TAKES out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandrufK
