2. Brethren, be strong in the
Lord and in the power Of His might
Strength is the fundamental prin-
Ieiple of all existence. No strength,
no life. Little strength, little life.
Much strength, much life. Great
strength, great life. There is phys
icaI strength, mental strength, and
spiritual or ghostly strength. All an
imals endeayor to have enough
strength to supply themselves with
| livelihood. When strength is carried
Iup to the mind and spirit, it is called
mental power and spiritual strength.
To be strong physically, is q very fine
! thing. 1t enables one to lift, to do, to
run, to endure, to accomplish great
things in labor. And every one adj
mires d perfect specimen of manhood
or womanhood and even of dumb ami
mails. But perfect manhood is Of little
real value il it is not accompanied
with mental development to equal
it's perfection. There may be plenty
of strength but no power to guide it
Alright, and therefore OF poor use at
best. Mental power must be har-
messed to physical strength to be Of
any positive use. How easily do we
guide the steam engine or the electric
motor, with their tremendous physical
power or strength! The horse, the
OK, the camel, the elephant, how do
Icile do these become through the ap-
plication Of, mental power to their sew
eral brute strength and psychology!
Thus is mental power greater than
physical.
But there is a power above all these
the power of the spirit. This is the
power that moves men to do good or
lilI, and can be applied and made 70
rule both the mental ard physical

BAD WRECK is
NARROWLY AVERTED
ON FRONT STREET
Truck on Heavily Loaded Coal Car
Breaks and Drags For More Than
Two Squares Doing Consider
able Damage to Rail-
road Track.

A very bad wreck of a West bound
freight train on the c. & o. railroad
was very narrowly averted yesterday
afternoon about 1:15 when the rear
truck on a heavily loaded freight car
broke and jumped the track while the
train was passing just below Com
merce street.
The heavy car dropped down onto
the dragging truck which slid along
the railroad track tearing off all the
bolts on the fish plates" holding the
a point below Sutton street before the
train was brought to a stop and by
that time it had done considerable
damage.
Those who watched the car drag
across the trestle between Limestone
and Market street we're expecting the
entire car to leave the track at any
time and feared terrible piling up
of coal cars on the river grade.
The West bound track was blocked
for several hours until the wreckine
crew could lift the car and remove the
broken truck but west bound trains
were switched over to the East bound
track and ran around the wrecked
train.
The wreck crew worked the most of
fl
ing replacing ties and bolts. 1t is
estimated that the damage done to
the railroad company will reach into
the thousands of dollars as many new
ties will have to be used to put the
track in shape again.

TEN POUNDS IS
THE LIMIT FOR
SUGAR SALES
County Food Administrator An.
nOunces That No Family viii BE
Sold More Than 10 Pounds at
Time For Canning.

The following bulletin was issued
yesterday afternoon from the office
of County Food Administrator w. d.
Cochran:
Sugar
All the August sugar certificates of
Glass ,AB-C-D and Il have been
mailed from the Office of the Sugar
Division, and should have reached all
the applicants before this time. Any
failure to receive certificates by ap-
plicants can be taken up by letter
with the Sugar Division, and will re-
ceive prompt response.
Sugar For Canning and Preserving
The allotment of sugar for August
for the State of Kentucky was prac-
tically exhausted by the issuance of
certificates to the various classes A
comparatively small amount of sugar
remains for use for canning and pre-
serving purposes. 1t is necessary on
| this account to cut down the allow
ance of sugar to each family on GER
tificates issued by the County Food
Administrators and their Deputies, to
the lowest limit. In order to do this,
County Food Administrators and their
Deputies have been directed to issue
canning certificates generally not to
| exceed TEN pounds at one time to a
family. In no event will any one fam
lily be allowed by repeating TO receive
more than TWENTY-FIVE pounds in
the aggregate, until further notice. In
the case of small families, the allow
ance is less than TWENTY-FIVE
pounds.
All sugar certificates for canning
and preserving must be issued and
signed by the County Food Admins
traitor, or his Deputies, whether the
sugar is supplied by retailers, or mail
order houses from other states.
Any colleges where enlisted men of
the Army are being educated can file
Statement CO.., and such institutions
will then receive sugar on the basis
of 6 pounds for every 80 meals served
to the enlisted men, and pounds for
| every 80 meals provided for other per-
sons. This provision is required by
the United States Army ration regula-
tions.

counter attacks by the Germans, says
the French official communication is

North of Rheims the French have
pushed back the German line more
than 400 yards.
With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, August Under
an inferno of shrapnel and machine
gun fire and waves of gas the Ameri-
cans forced their way over the Vesle
river last night and early this morn
ing, while rain varying at times from
a drizzle to a downpour, drenched the
battlefield.
French troops already have gained
positions or the American left, and
the joint movement has Strengthened
out the line from point west of Baf
zoches to Fismes.
The Allied armies have obtained
further successes over the Germans
in fighting in the Soissons- Rheims sec
tor and to the north in the Montddier
region and still further north in Elan
ders between the Lave and Clarence
rivers.
East of the town or Braisne on the
Vesle river, midway between Scissors
and Rheims, American and French
troops, after the stiffest kind of fight
ing have crossed the river and held
all the positions gained. The French
to the north of Rheims have penetrat-
ed the German positions for more
than 400 yards in the railroad trian-
gle beginning at Rheims and running
northeastward toward Rethel and
northwestward to Laon. In addition
all the positions previously gained by
the Allied troops throughout the en-
tire Rheims-Soissons salient have
been solidly held, Notwithstanding
counter attacks and the heavy artil-
lery fire the enemy has poured down
from the heights north of the Vesle
upon their antagonists. Near where
the Vesle enters the Aisne east of
| scissors the French have overcome
the resistance of the enemy and taken
the village of -Salsogne
In the Montdidier sector the French
south and southeast of the town have
further advanced their line on this
important sector, which represents
the junction point of the armies of the
German Crown Prince and of Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria.
1t remained for the British. how

against the Germans Wednesday. Fol
| lowing up a previous advance in the
famous Lys sector northwest of La
Bassee, Field Marshal Haig's men
pushed forward their line over a front
of nearly five miles to a depth of a
thousand yards between the Lave and
Clarence rivers. The details of this
advance are not in hand, but the
maneuver doubtless will go far way
toward lessening the point of the
nasty salient that has stood as men

SOME SPRING FASHION TIPS
Linen BIouses With High Collar Are
PopuIar-Pumpkin Color is Worn
With Navy Short Jacket Suit.

A swagger linen blouse of white re-
Gently seen had a high collar, plated
frills and long bands of rose-colored
linen, which were stitched all the way
down the upper part of the sleeve. The
effect was decidedly new and interest
ing, observes a fashion writer in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Very smart and attractive are three
piece or MILDLY suits evolved in silk
and cloth combinations, and these have
very becoming lines for youthful fig
ureS.
Decidedly unique is this idea: Pump
kin yellow handkerchief linen is devel-
Oped into a mannish, tucked front
sleeveless blouse to wear with a navy
suit whose jacket is short and boxlike
in the latest fashion line.
Effective catstitching in heavy silk
is seen for spring.
A lovely shade of amethyst suede
draped and clasped with a silver
buckle forms the belt on a white We
lours waistcoat made to go with a short
jacket of navy tricotine suit. The re-
suit is most pleasing.
Many different colored piques are
used for collars and cuffs or lingerie
blouses for spring, and this same ma
terial forms many of the smart vests
and waistcoats made from spring suits.
A delicate gray handkerchief linen
is used for some of the most attractive
handmade blouses that have aCeived
