WISHING TO GIVE EVERY ONE A

Several days ago the papers had an
article with reference to the absence
of Or. Locke from the county when
his services were needed here, and

mack of the State Board of Health,

that Bell county was not employing
DR.. Locke and for him to wire said
Locke at once and have him back here
on the first train, as his services were
need ed here, which said Mccormack
said he would do and which he did.
DR.. Locke arriving in Maysville that
night. After hearing from DR.. Nc
Cormack l at once saw that DR.. Locke

To the Farmers

Due>to your compliance with the re-
quest by our Government to produce
all the poultry possible, wherever it

shortage of labor, shortage of cars for
transportation, shortage of freezing
space that is being used for freezing
meats to be shipped to our soldiers,
and Allies abroad, and in order to
market this poultry in a way to pre-
vent waste of some of the product,
and in order to help out the transport

IN SHOES
IS PREVENTIVE OF
THE SPANISH FLU
Said to BE An Absolute Bar to the
Prevailing Epldemlc-Old Physl-
clan Tells Of Success
In Its Use.

A leading doctor in the state of
Georgia, who has passed unscathed
through a serious yellow fever cpl
demlc, is authority for the statement
that a little sulphur placed in the
shoesLeach day is a positive prevent
i've for Spanish influenza. This pre-
ventive is suggested in an article in
recent article in the Atlanta Con-
stitution.
The article from the Constitution
follows
put a small amount or sulphur in
each shoe every morning and good
bye influenza.
This is the remedy offered to the
people of Atlanta by Georgia doctor
who has been practicing in Dixie for
40 years, and who went through the
yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans
in 1897 unscathed.
Ellis account of the successful trials
of this remedy follows:
"'In the early eighties l moved to-
Louisiana to practice medicine, and
remained in the town where l first
located for nearly 20 years. The town
in which l located with in the South
western portion of the state and had
large sugar and lumber industries,
therefore I met many travelling men,
and one in particular I remember
from Memphis, Tenn, who told me
one. evening't that he had nursed yellow
fever and cholera in all its stages, had
assisted in burying the dead, and that
the only precaution he ever took was
to sprinkle sulphur in his shoes every
morning during the epidemic, and that
he had never contracted the disease;
furthermore, every one he told about
it and who had tried it, not a single
one had had the disease.
"In 1897 we had an epidemic of
yellow fever, and remembering what
this gentleman told me tried it, not
withstanding I had very little conf
derce lin it. l shall never regret hav-
ing tried it, for l escaped the fever,
although l nursed it in all its stages
during the entire epidemic Now
what has this to do with influenza?
1t has the same to do with it that it
had to do with yellow fever and chol-
era-kill the germ. / believe when
the system is thoroughly saturated
with the sulphur, as suggested, it
will prevent the germs of any disease
from attacking the system. There is
no doubt that sulphur will penetrate
the system readily, for when one
takes sulphur in the system and has
a silver dollar in his pocket, it will
be turned black, caused by the sui
phuretted hydrogen, Try it and see
Now it would be very little trouble
to have the boys in the camps carry
out this suggestion and thus break up
the disease which is causing so much
suffering and great many Deaths"

N any atmospheric temperature above

ice or artificial refrigeration to cool

ing.
s. Therefore, any turkeys reaching,
the market after the Thanksgiving de-
mand have been forced into cold stor-

The purpose Of the above rules is to
avoi unnecessary occupation of

for accommodating meat for shipment
to the Armies abroad.

Notice

The attention of the public is called
to the fact that last year a great many
turkeys and other birds suitable for
food, were wasted in the State of Ken
lucky through the practice of having
raffles and shooting matches, and 9TH
er forms of sport, with these birds as
prizes,
The Food Administration will re-
gard any person countenanclng such
games, as unpatriotic, and as failing
in the spirit of food conservation,
which is certainly a necessary aid to
the Government and the Armies in
this present time of emergency.
All persons unwilling to forego such
practices at this time, in the interest
of National Conservation, forfeit the
right to be considered loyal Ameri-
cans.

and disposing OF their lives and fortunes as they
will. we'll of the lives and fortunes of every
people who fall under their power-governments
clothed with the strange trappngs and the primi-
tive authority OF an age that is altogether alien
and hostile to our own. The past and the present
are in deadly grapple and the peoples OF the
world are being done to death between them.
There can be but one issue. The settlement
must be final There can be no compromise. No
halfway decision would be tolerablc No half
way decision is conceivable. These are the ends
for which the associated peoples OF the world
fighting and which must be conceded them
before there can be peace:
Il. The destruction of every arbitrary power
anywhere that can separately, secretly, and of its
single choice disturb the peace of the world; or,
if it cannot be presently destroyed at the least
its reduction to virtual impotence.
z. The settlement OF every question. whether
of territory. of sovereignty, of economic arrange

OF the free acceptance OF that settlement by the
people Immediately concerned, and not upon the
basis of the material interest advantage of
any other nation or people which may desire
different settlement for the sake of its own ex-

trust established upon the handsome foundation
of mutual respect for right.
u. The establishment OF organization OF
peace which shall make it certain that the COM
bined power of free nations will check every
invasion of right and serve to make peace and
justice the more by affording definite
tribunal of opinion to which all must submit and
by which every international readjustment that
cannot be amcably agreed upon by the peoples
directly concerned shall be sanctioned.
These great objects can be put into single
sentence. What we seek is the reign of law,
based upon the consent of the governed and sus-
tanned by the organized opinion of mankind.
These great ends cannot be achieved by de
batting and seeking to reconcile and accommodate
what statesmen may wish. with their projects for
balances of power and of national opportunity
They be realized only by the determination
of what the thinking peoples of the world desire,
with their longing hope for justice and for social
freedom and opportunity.
Il fancy that the air of this place carries
the accents OF such principles with peculiar
kindness. Here were started forces which the
great nation against which they were primarily
directed at first regarded revolt against its
rightful authority but which it has long since
seen to have been a step in the liberation of its
own people as well as of the people of the United

No, you don't know what it is to be tired. And

be tired. they know it in so many villages and
homes in France.

it-for they have been hurt can never be

the hurt.
Every effort of ours lightens their burden a
little bit. As shoulder goes to the wheel we
ease their pain
Let all do gladly those things that we are
asked to do-and more: for all that have been
asked to do here at home is but trife OF what
they have done there in France
We don't know yet what it is to be tired We
are so strong that it will be hard for us to get
