TEMPERANCE TO BE OBSERVED
IN STATE SCHOOLS.

Friday, October 25, has been set
apart by V. o. Gilbert, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction as
official Temperance Day in the public
schools of Kentucky. His department.
has prepared and forwarded to the
teachers a suggestive program, con-
tanning number of temperance mug
ges for the children to memorize.
The schoolhouses are ordered decor
ated with the flags of the allied ma
tions, the poems and reciations con-
tanned in the program will be given
to the children to learn, so that a
very attractive entertainment will be
given in each public schoolhouse in
the State. If by chance the schools
are closed at that time on account of
the epidemic of influenza, then an
other day will be fixed by Gilbert and
the program carried out then. This
official temperance day is set apart by
a statute passed by the recent legis-
lature.

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC SPREAD.
ING BUT NO OCCASION
FOR ALARM.

Whether or not the influenza epi-
dem1c, which has caused such serious
concern throughout the country dur
ing the past ten days, is of German
origin, the number of it's victims has
recently been increasing so rapidly
that drastic steps throughout the ma
ton are called for.
The latest reports from the Sur
geon-General's Office unfortunately
indicate that the disease is as yet
unchecked in army camps, and the
Government has considered it neces-
sary to issue a warning to the effect
that all possible steps should be taken
to prevent conditions from becoming
even worse throughout the country.
1t is said that reports have been re-
ceived showing the presence of the
disease in every one of our States ex-
cept five. The condition at our Ma
tiOnal Capital, with it's overcrowded
offices, hotels and dwellings, has be-
come so serious that extraordinary
precautions are being taken-orders
have been issued for the immediate
closing of theatres, dance halls,
moving picture houses, etc. The
Washington schools have already
been closed, and the time of opening
stores and public Offices is also reg
ulated in order to avoid dangerous
crowded conditions on street cars.
The hospitals are already filled to
lcapacity and two buildings have
been taken over by the Government
to be used for the treatment of war
workers. Unfortunately the condition
in Washington seems to be fair
example of the situation in over
crowded districts in many other
parts of the country, and there Is
need for complete cooperation on the
part of the public authorities and
people generally wherever the dis
ease appears.
While the situation In certain
parts of the country is undeniably
acute on account of the large NUM-
Der Of persons affected, fortunately
in almost every instance the health
authorities are proving able to check
the spread of the disease shortly af
ter its appearances; moreover the
percentage of fatalities is compare
lively small. People should bear il
mind the fact, however, that there
is no reason for any great alarm OF
panic about the matter, it is impor
tant for everyone to exercise unus
ual care as to health and all should
aid in every way to prevent thu
spread of the epidemic and to combai
it wherever it appears.
The most important precaution:
tagainst the disease are said 30 be t.
avoid crowded conditions and over
eating. Coughing, .sneezing or ex
pectorating in the presence of other:
is also dangerous, since the disease

BURNING LEAVES A MENACE TO
HEALTH.

Now approaches the season of the
year when the dainty housekeeper
or caretaker wakes wroth over Ma
ture' presumption in littering their
yards with falling leaves from trees
and shrubbery. Yet it is part of Ma
lures plan to restore to the earth
what she has taken from it, but the
super-neat hOusekeeper only sees in
it another occasion for needless wor-
ry and the use of broom and rake.
But, as Luke McLuke says, what
we started out to say" was that peo-
pie who burn leaves in the streets
and in their yards are unconsciously
or wilfully violating an ordinance
expressly made to cover such matters.
Physicians and health authorities all
over the country have decided that
one of the commonest causes of diph-
liberia and kindred throat and brOn-
chial trouble is the smoke from burn
ing leaves.
The City Board of Health has ask
ed that this practice be discontinued
in this city. 1t is a needless one.
Leaves make excellent fertilizer, and
can be conserved in some way and
thus contribute to the common good.
Last season this plea was made by
City Health Officer A. H. Keller, the
result being a ready response on the
part of the people of Paris. Dead
leaves by the ton were hauled away
and stored in places from which they
were afterward taken and spread on
lawns after Natures plan.
This year let's follow the good plan
of last year. Don't burn the dead
leaves. Don't be a contributing fac
tor to the spread of diphtheria or any
other disease. Don't fill your own
house or that of your neighbor with
the pungent, acrid smoke from burn
ing leaves. 1t is menace to public
health, and as such recognized and
prohibited by the enactment OF or
dinance. .-...

DAYLIGHT SAVING
BILL IS PROVED
(ByAssociated Press)

San Francisco, April 27.--Since the
Inauguration of the daylight-saving
scheme, there has been a notable in
crease in the number of players on
beth the municipal golf links and the
city tennis courts at Golden Gate
pc k. The additional hour Of day
lis mt in the afternoon has made it
pc ;sible for hundreds Of business men
to get in an hour of exercise between
the time they leave their office and
the dinner hour.
Persons who have regularly been
able to play during the afternoons
have noted the difference. Hereto
fore there has been no trouble in Sc
curing a court at the park on which
to play. Now there is waiting list
for every court. The municipal links
between the hours of 5 and 7 during
the week, now take on a Saturday
and Sunday aspect, as far as the
number of players is concerned.
1t is to these devotees of outdoor
sport that the daylight saving plar
has made the greatest difference
Men and women, who have heretofore
only been able to take their exercise
on Saturday afternoon or Sunday
morning, are able to play regularly
and they are unanimous in commend
ing the scheme. The result has beer
tremendous impetus to these par
ticular lines of sport.
