TRUTH 1RlUMPAs
Hartford Citizens Testify for the
Public Benefit.

q. A truthful statement of Hartford
citizen, given in his own words,
should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
use a tested kidney medicine.
A Hartford citizen tells of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc-
ing proof of merit?
Lorenza Acton, Pike St., Hartford,
says: 81 have suffered with back
ache and pains across my kidneys,
and have found that Doan's Kidney
Pills regulate my kidneys and help
my back whenever I get this way.
/ consider Doans Kidney Pills re-
liable kidney medicine"
Price Coo at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doans Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Acton had. Foster-Mil-
burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

To Make Your Shoes Last.

When your shoe leather gets dry or
hard, you should oil or grease it, says
the popular Science Monthly. To do
this, first brush off all mud and then
wash tie shoe in warm water, drying II
with soft cloth.
While the shoe is still wet. apply the
oil or grease, rubbing it in with swab
OF wool, or better still, with the palm
of the hand. After treatment, the
shoes should be left to dry In warm
but not In a hot place. Castor oil Is
recommended for shoes that are to be
polished. For palmer footgear, fish oil
and oleine or any one Of the less ex-
pensive oils may be substituted with
very good results.

NO OUTWARD SIGN OF GRIEF
Dumb Agony of cossack Woman, TAX.
ing Leave of Mate, More impress
sive Than Flow of Tears.

It was the square of Yurievcts (Cn
the Volga) that one of those tragic
fragments which life casts up like
driftwood was flung at our feet. \
Cossack'S leave-taking of his mate !:
that was all, million times repeated
in million different izbas, in that one
summer. But it was mOre-symbOl Of
wonan's ancient and inarticulate grief.
These shawled and booted women of
the North are too burdencd with
earth's sorrow to weep; they are like
dumb cattle in their woe. The soldier
himself was openly wiping his eyes on
his coarse, dusty, brown sleeve. While
under both arms he clutched abaurdly
two enormous lOaves of black bread.
A dingy little child In its mothers arms
fluttercd uncomprehending hands in
the direction of the steamer; but from
the Mongol-cheeked, gray-eyed woman
there was no sign.
She neither touched her man in fare
well, nor offered any of those small
caresses by which we seek to mitigate
our grief. The sullen silence Of the
North had laid its finger upon. her,
but her eyes followed her mate with
the wild, unreasonable grief of the
forest sprung. She stood still star
ing, unaware Of the baby in her arms,
while the steamer moved slowly out
into the gray nists. Long after dusk
had closed down, / could see her face
straining in the cleaning like a mask
of despair.-Olive Gllbreath in the
Yale Review. ..,....,.,..

SUBSCRIPTION RATE,
ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

II is the policy Of the Times to
ever condemn that which I'VE be-
Iieve to be wrong, and to commend
that which appears right. Acting
in conformity with this principle,
in last weeks issue we spoke of the
temperate way in which Christmas
was spent. This was as we had
observed it, but we have since been
informed that more whiskey was
brought to and drunk in Clay City
than we were aware of. We are
glad we did not come in contact
with this drinking, and seriously
regret that such was the case. But
so long as these whiskey circulars
are admitted to the mails, they will
drum up some trade. Therefore
let every dry voter write our Sena
tor, J. H. Evans, and Representa-
tive, Green Miller, when the Gen
eral Assembly meets at Frankfort
and ask them to vote and work for
the ratification of the National con
stitutional Prohibition amendment
now before the various State Leg
islatures. The Kentucky Legisla-
ture will convene Jan. s. Write
then.
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1918-01-03
School Legislation Suggested.

Rural school teachers of the state
are rapidly leaving the schoolroom
to engage in more lucrative en-
ployment. Since the beginning of
the holidays, Superintendent of
Public Instruction Gilbert has been
advised that six rural school teach
ers have resigned and many more
had previously given up their
schools.
The average salary in the rural
schools is $4242 per month, and
with the cost of living so high,
Superintendent Gilbert says that it
is impossible to get best equipped
men and women for this work.
Superintendent Gilbert sets out a
legislative program which he be-
lieves will relieve the situation to a
great extent. 1t follows:
First-Amend the school law so
as to allow counties, if they so de-
sire, to levy for school purposes up
to fifty cents.
Sccond-To amend the census
law so as to read from 6 to Is in
stead of 6 to 20.
Third-Make the school term for
all schools at least eight months.
Fourth-Provide that the teach
crs must be paid promptly at the
end of the month as all other state
agents are paid.
Fifth-Amend the law so that
instead of rs per cent of attend
ance of census any district must
have at least 40 per cent of census
in attendance before it may draw
state fund.
Sixth-Standardize certihcatior
Of teachers so as to have uniform
standards.
Scventh-Make elementary ag'
riculture required subject in al
schools after 1920.
Eighth-Pass adequate legisla'
ton enabling the state to take adj
vantage Of federal aid for vocation
al education as provided by thu
Smith Hughes bill.
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1918-01-03

The State Legislature will soon
convene st Frankfort at which time
a great deaf of important legislation
will come up. But of all matters
to arise there is none of importance
to compare with the National Pro-
hibition amendment which Ken
lucky should adopt soon as it meets
in this month. The Times would
like to see our State lead off in this
matter and be the first of the forty
FIVE to adopt the amendment. We
believe this will be done if all the
members of the Legislature will
vote as they are pledged to, but
this they have not always done in
times past. The liquor people too
often win over just enough dry
Legislators to have things their
own way, and that is the only dan
ger of defeat for this very important
measure. The people of the State
so-will it, but the will of the people
is often thrust aside for private rea :
sons. %Ni

You can save 20 cents per ton
per mile hanling over good, instead
of bad roads.
Men who are informed tell you
what should be done about. roads.
Why don't you act accordingly?
Pike, Bell and Franklin counties
are elated over Convict Labor for
building roads. These are the only
counties where Convicts have been
worked.
Kentucky needs road mainten-
ance law.
Stop and figure how many miles
of road could be built with the road
taxes you pay.
Think and investigate for your
self the value of good roads. Don't
listen to some Demagogue who is
always talking something he knows
noticing about.
Don't oppose road building,
move out of the county or state,
but don't impede progress.
You can get the facts about any
road built under state aid, if you
will write to the Department of
Public Roads of Kentucky.
Awake to the importance of good
roads even from a purely selfish
standpoint.
Don't blame your county officials
for the condition of the roads when
everybody knows they haven't suf-
ficient funds to maintain the roads.
If you neglect the roads of a
county for even one year it will re-
quire five years to replace the dam
age done in that year.
A barrel of corn or a small pig
will pay the average mans part OF
the 20 cent road tax.
When you oppose scientific road
building the majority of the people
know to what class you belong.
