OBSTACLES IN The WAY.

The cost OF the new school. with
its liberal floor space and elaborate
material Ia urged against its adop-
lion. That Is valid criticism. No
one should suggest any new burden
OF taxation without knowing what
he IL talking about. But the ex-
pense OF restricting the freedori OF
delinquent children In every large
city Is also very great Detention
homes. juvenile courts and reform
schools are costing good dead OF
money. Perhaps the moral gain 10

II when Bobby Coon was living
In the Green Forest anybody had
told him that there would come q
day when be and Farmer Browns
Boy would have a celebration to-
gether Bobby would have said that
II was the craziest idea ever thought
OF In those days he hated Farmer
Browns Boy because he feared him.
Did you ever notice how fear most
always makes hateg Almost every
body. big and little. is inclined 20
hate whatever or whoever is feared
So Bobby Coon, being afraid of
Farmer Browns Boy. simply be
cause he was a human being. the
same kind OF a creature as the hunt.
er who had so often tried 10 kill
Bobby, had hated him. And now
here they were in Farmer Browns
barn actually going to have a cele-
bration together,
What were they going TO cele-
brate7 Can't you guess They
were going TO celebrate the takinF
on OF that bandage from the leg
which had been broken. Yes. air.
that Is just what they were going
TO celebrate. You see II was a great
event, and II is usual 10 celebrate
great events. Az least that is what
Farmer Browns Boy told Bobby.
altho Bobby didn't understand a
word he said 30 Farmer Browns
Boy had brought along an extra sup
ply OF good things TO eat, for what
kind OF a celebration can any one
have without a feastH
First he fed Bobby some OF the
good things out OF his hand Then
he took out his knife and very
carefully began TO cut the strings
that held the bandage in place.
When those were OF he unwound
the strips OF cloth that had held in
place the two little thin nat sticks
which had held that broken leg so
firmly that the broken ends had
had no chance TO alp apart
Now wen see how good q doctor
7 am" said Farmer Browns Boy as
the last strip OF cloth was unwound
and the two little sticks dropped TO
the floor Very gently he felt OF
the poor little leg where the break
had been. Bobby looked on won
deringly. He didn't feel those gen
tie fingers at all because his leg
had been bound up so long that
there was no feeling in II. A look
OF pleasure and happiness came into
Farmer Browns Boys eyes az his
fingers worked back and forth along
that little leg.
It's all right It's a good Job,
Bobby" said he. "Old Mother Ma
ture has done her part and that leg
"a going TO be just as good as ever
after you've used II awhile. You'll
soon be able TO run about and climb
just as IN nothing had happened.
Then | suppose you'il be of for the
Green Forest and forget all about
me. Now well celebrate by going
w TO the house and letting you ex-
ercise little"
He gathered Bobby up in his
arms and took him TO the house
where he put him down on the
kitchen floor. Here, mother" said
hf 70 Mr. nrovn tsts our Httfa
patient. We're going 10 celebrate
by letting him stay here awhile and
get acquainted with as. Isn't he
handsome?'
Bobby gravely looked Mrs Brown
all over and made up bis mind that
there was nothing to fear from her

LAMBDIN.

One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred for many days with
in our notice is that of Mr.. Cell
Lambdin of North Main St., on
last Wednesday. Mr.. Lambdin,
had been in Tulsa, Oklahoma for
several months, being employed
by that city as Civil Engineer.
He was drafted into the Army.
and being a young man and single
and one that was physically fit
for service, passed the examina-
ton, and was drawn as one of
the fellows to go to Camp Taylor,
but on account Of having contact
ed typhoid of course he could
not go. Mr.. Lambdin was born
July LIST, 1893, and died Septem-
Der 26th, 1917, being at the time
Of his death "a years, l month
and 26 days old.
Mr.. Lamhdin was a young
man that had no enemies, in fact
he was well liked by all who knew
him; he was industrious and a
real intelligent man; to him there
were none dearer or sweeter than
his two sisters and they were
equally fond of him and when
the summon came and the spark
of life was glittering DINNER and
DINNER, it seemed as though the
We ry heart strings of these two
girls would break with grief. He
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Lambdin, who today are
bent in grief at having to part
with their only son. The funer-
al will be held at the Baptist
Church on Main St., today at
2 p. m. and the intorment will
be in the city Genet
Let everyone spe word to
this father and mother, and the
two sisters that greive for him
who was so near and dear to
them.

This Picture is reprinted from the
famous "Tanlac Twins advertisement
which has caused so much comment
everywhere. several publications have
published it as remarkable photo Of
u typical American family. Seldom
does an artist catch such happy ex-
preston in a whole family. A recent
medical book on Motherhood and
Care of Baby had 1t as frontispiece,
through our courtesy.
Ordinarily the Tanlac publicity staff
does not try to convince Kentuckians
of Tanlac's virtues by quoting people
in other states. However, this family
lives just across the river in Cincin-
natl, hence Kentucky neighbors will be
interested in the mothers story.

Good Sound Judgement.

In the manner that the boys
who was sent to Camp Taylor,
last week passed the second ex-
animation it looks as though our
local board used good sound
judgement or else some would
have been sent home on account
physical disability. We are told
that every man of the &C sent
from Knox county passed the ex-
animation, and that each are now
real soldiers of the United States
Army.
The local board consisting of
DR.. S. G. Jones, Hon. Sawyer A.
Smith and Judge S. B. Dishman,
are to be congratulated on their
good judgement in the selection
of this army of 127 men even if
some might fail who are yet to
be sent.

LEISURE TIME.

Leisure time is comparatively modern invention.
The old timers had any leisure They worked longer
hours than do Factories used to run eleven and
twelve hours day. Farmers would get up at and
work until dark.
Clerks merchants and professional men used to run
their back yard gardens Many men receiving large
incomes not to raising potatoes and beans on
the home lot They had become accustomed to counting
the pennies and besides they thought the active work
was good for their health.
Today working hours are gradually growing short
Many people get Saturday afternoons. The eight
hour and the nnehour days are becoming common There
are great many people who have their evening meal
promptly at O'clock leaving good long evening free
for other pursuits.
Hundreds of thousands of these people, whose faith
er as aforesaid used take up the shovel and the hoe
at that hour out spinning around in their auto
mobiles. Many of the young people simply promenad-
ing up and down the towns throngng the refreshment
stands and cycling the other
This great change in the habits of people is not
wholly decadence 1t does mark decline OF that old
resoute spirit that founded fortunes and developed
ings bank But leisure time is valuable it used
we'll The hours an indoor worker spends on outdoor
sport are often the valuable Of the twenyfour.
Only the time ought not be spent aimlessy. Simply
drifting around the streets develops no muscles and lays
no foundations for future If many people this
summer would spend it in raising potatoes they would
stand better chance of business But whether
spent in labor sport definite end of achievement
or physical advancement ought to be held in view.

SENATOR OGORMAN
RETIRES FROM PUBLIC LIFE
(By United Press)

Washington, March 3.-United
States Senator O'Gorman of New
York, the last of the silk hat states
men of the old order, will close his
public career when the Senate ad-
journs Monday night.
81 have completed an uninterrup-
ted public service of "a years." said
the senator today, '18 years as judge
and six years as senator, and l must
now give attention to my private af-
fairs"
Senator O'Gorman was the only in
fluential Tammany leader who sup
orted Woodrow Wilson for the pres
idency from the first. In the early
days of Wilson's first administration
he was very close to the president
and was regarded as his personal
spokesman on both sides of the Capt.
tol.
Political differences later over the
appointment of the Senator's son-in-
law, Dudley Field Malone, as collector
of the Port of New York, caused
O'Gorman to be less popular with the
administration. Secretary McAdoo
President Wilson's son-in-law, wanted
Frank Polk, now assistant secretary
of state, appointed to the place.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with a bad taste,
bad breath and tongue is coated; if
your head is dull or aching; if what
you eat sours and forms gas and acid
in stomach, or you are bilious, con-
stipated, nervous. sailow and can't get
feeling just right, begin inside bath
ing. Drink, just before breakfast, q
glass of real hot water with a tea
sooonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and tox-
ms from stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels and cleans, sweeten and pur-
ify the entire alimentary tract. Do
your inside bathing Immediately up
on arising in the morning to wash
out of the system all the previous
days poisonous waste, gases and sour
bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves
and muscles became loaded with body
impurities, get from your pharma-
cist quarter pound of limestone
phosphate, which is Inexpensive and
almost tasteless, except for sour
ish twinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleaning, sweetening and
freshening, SO hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stom-
ach disorder should begin this inside
bathing before breakfast. They are
assured they will become real cranks
on the subject shortly. 10

lethargic, apathetic. Atrophied and

Seven seas of people, herding over

of their own city, the natives wan

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
BRANCHING OUT ITS
LINES TO EASTWARD

When the Southern Pacific Com
Iany's new building at Stuart, Mar
ket and Spear streets is completed
in November of this year, it will boast
of the very latest type of eight-po
sition telephone switchboard, which
is now bein CONSTRUCTED for the COM
pany at the Western Electric factory
at Hawthorne, Ill. This will be one
CT the largest-if not the largest
private branch switchboards on the
Pacific Coast and will permit Of ad-
ditional sections being added from
time to time as the company's serv-
ice may require. In addition to this,
the chief operator will be provided
with supervisory position, from
which she can supervise the service,
both incoming and outgoing, from her
desk, and take care of any overflow
that the regular switchboard is IN
able to handle expeditiously.
In the Flood building at the pres
ent time, the company originates an
average of 3,347 switches per week
day, 1851 being outgoing and 1896
incoming. On week days, there is
averaged 2,751 incoming switches, and
Of this number 13 per cent Of the
total number is handled during one
busy hour per day, in other words
during the peak of the load.
The company originates an average
Of nine outgoing switches per instru-
ment per day and seven incoming
switches per instrument per day.
There are now worked seven switch
board positions or sections, and it is
estimated that in 1913 the Southern
Pacific requirements will be 1876 po-
sitions and in 1920 10 or practically
eight. The company now has nine
teen outgoing trunks. 1t will require
according to Superintendent of Tele-
graph Z. l.. King, next year twenty
nine and in 1920 at least twenty-five
1t has now 90 incoming trunks ;ir
1918 it will need thirty-five and in
1920 will require thirty-seven. /,
has twelve tie lines in addition t.
the above between the Flood Build
ing switchboard and that at ThirC
and Townsend and six transba!
trunks connect the Flood building
with the company's West Oakland
exchange.
The Southern Pacific also owns ant
operates an exclusive Southern Pa
cific telephone system, with instru
ments for long distance service O
various floors of the Flood building
This service consists Of approximate
ly 95 instruments at the San Fran
cisco terminal, 35 at San Jose, 8 a
