OPPOSITION
FOR JAMES
Judge Isaac Thurman, of Spring.
field, Well Known Temperance
Man, to Run.

Interesting political developments
growing out of the fight Of the vets
and drys in Kentucky may be look
ed for next year when the election
of United States Senator comes
up, according to well founded
report from Louisville.
This report is to- the effect that
United States Senator Ollie M.
James, who will seek re- election, is
to have opposition from the dry
wing Of the Democratic party. The
man said to be selected as the
champion of the dry Democrats to
oppose the senior Senator for the
nomination, is Judge Isaac Thur
man, of Springfield, whose temper
ance proclivities are well known in
his section and who is said to mea-
sure up to the standard of Sena-
torial timber in ability.
Senator james has not yet made
any announcement of his candi-
dacy. but his attitude on the ques-
ton of State and national prohibi-
ton has stamped him as wet man,
and this, it is stated, is why the dry
wing of the party has decided to try
and shelve him and elect in his place
a Senator more in accord with its
policy. Whether the next legisla-
ture passes the proposed Statewide
amendment or not the prohibition
issue viii be sharply drawn in the
coming Senatorial fight, according
to the wise ones.

The French women have half

meat week, one egg a week. No
power on earth can keep the Frenrh-
man in the trenches if his wife and
children are starving.
America, Mr.. Hoover says, has
accomplished as much in six months
as Germany in year, as much as
England in two years toward food
conservation.
The American housewife can, by
cooperation, self-control. avoid

Miss Sweeny recommended and

quent appeal to the womanhood of
America, to whom the believing wo-
men of France are looking for help.
In the hands of our women she
rested the case of this world war.

Will EXAMINE
THE CHILDREN
School Board Passes Rule to Have
Medical Examination at
Public Schools.

Probably the most advanced step
taken on behalf Of the local board IN
many years was the order Of the
Board of Education and the City
Board of Health that all the chill
dren attending the school should be
carefully examined and reports be
sent to parents or guardians.
1t is recognized that it is func-
ton of the school to care for the
physical, as well as the intellectual
well-being of the children and the
order for medical examination is in
keeping with the practices existing
in the best schools of the land.
All of the physicians of the city
have agreed to cooperate with the
school authorities and the examina-
tons will be made as soon as all
arrangements can be completed.
Each child will be examined as to
its general health, the teeth viii be
examined and the eyes, by men rec
ognized as thoroughly competent to
do so, complete record will be
kept Of each examination and fled
in the office of the Superintendent
and copy made and sent to the
parent stating what, if any, physical
defects or ailments are found. The
matter Of treatment is left entirely
to the parent and the family physi-
clan. In cases where financial con-
ditions will not permit of proper
treatment the Public Health Nurse
should be consulted and arrange
ments may be made whereby the
case will receive attention.
BY means of this examination
parents may be advised of some err
ror in vision, of decaying teeth, or
some ailment which, if taken in
time, can easily be corrected, but if
allowed to continue and become
more aggravated would result in
permanent injury to the child.
Cases of any disease which is in any
way infectious may be checked
and thus protection thrown around
all Of the children since the close as
sociation both in class room and on
the play grounds make it difficult to
check any disease unless discovered
in time and the cases isolated.
When the records are sent to the
parent they are requested to report
back to the school authorities what
will be done with the case,> where
treatment has been recommended, so
that accurate record may be kept
of each child for future reference.
1t is hoped that all patrons will
cooperate with the medical profess
sion and the school in this worthy
undertaking for the good Of the
people of our city.

Ou laSJ rrlddN, IN speech maze
before "The History Club" Miss
Mary E. Sweeny, who has honored
Kentucky by serving on the Food
Commission, with Mr.. Hoover, sent
the message our women have need
ed, straight, from her heart to the
hearts of all who heard her. In her
magnetic manner, her convincing ar
eument, we were told that we wo-
men in concerted effort must refute
Germany's proud boast -"that q
loose woven democracy carnot
stand against a close woven auto
cracy."
We are asked to do so little--as
little as this-to use two teaspoons
less of sugar. two teaspoons less of
lard and two thirds of cup of
flour less each day; To have a
wheatless day, thus bringing cur

ped; because the beef, mutton and
pork can be packed and shipped to
the Allies and our own soldiers. We
can still use all the molasses, pota-
toes, raisins, dates, fruits, peas,
beans, cereals, milk, cheese, eggs,
we choose.

should send our -four TO France p
because the meal does not ship well,
and they have no mills to grind the
corn.

pounds of -four in month make this

ton of cornbread.

The wounds of soldiers do not
properly heal unless the soldiers
rations contain a small amount Of
fat The children of a school in
New York City were told to bring
to school the fat that was thrown
away at their homes that day. They
did, and cake of soap was made
for each New York soldier.
Garbage inspection has proven
how nobly our women have respond
ed to the clarion call that there
shall be nothing wasted. A nine and
two-t enths saving was shown.
We have no hope of any immed-
late end to this great struggle, we
do not want an ignoble peace. The
world of our friends need our food
more than they need our money.

France was without sugar, the
United States went on her knees to
Cuba, got forty thousand pounds
added to this, sixty thousands
pounds, sent a ship freighted with
many hopes for its safe arrival.
But France, as the ship reached its
destination, had information that
the United States had no sugar and
France sent back forty thousand
