MIDWAY At STATE FAIR

The Midway OF a fair is where the
people play and the Midway OF the
1918 Kentucky State Fair, to be held
in Louisville the week OF September
914, gives promise Of being one of the
most thoroughly delightful, amusing
and diversified Pathways of Pleasure"
that State Fair crowds have ever at
tended. Guarantee of unalloyed enjoy
ment is offered In the fact that the
street will be manned on either side
by the great array of feature shows
touring under the Johnny ]. Jones ban
ner. Every one posted in regard TO
Midway attractions is aware OF the
fact that there is no Midway organiza-
ton in the country which can boast
a better. cleaner or brighter lineup Of
fun ediums than the Johnny ]. Jones
array, and the Pike" Of 1918 is, there
fore. certain to be a much-sought sec
ton OF the Fair. Here the shows will
present fronts Of dazzling gold and
myriad colors, topped by flags and ban
ners and pennants and gay with the
quips and quirks of the "barkers" and
the many bands which distinguish the
Jones array. From the great wild
animal exhibit which heads the list OF
twenty-five Jones shows to the village
OF Lilliputians, who demonstrate their
cleverness by remarkable perform
ances, the Jones shows are supreme in
class and interest. II is the Jones pol
icy to include everything any other
Midway lineup can boast and to keep
well in the van OF the balance OF the
purveyors. and by this policy II is
claimed that visitors TO the Midway
this year will be RECALLED with novelties
and features never witnessed In a Mid
way before.

For eight years we have been distribut-
ing Victrolas in Muhlenberg, and our faith
in them is much stronger now than when
we secured the agency, for the decision
reached then, after an exhaustive study OF
all machines on the market, led US to the
Victrola, and its performance has given
most complete satisfaction to every pur-
chaser, so much so that from first to last
machines sold by us are in the hands Of
the original purchasers. The field is en-
larging rapidly, and in time practically
every home will have some sort of mach
inc. 1t is to our interest, and to the more
vital interest of every buyer, that most tho
rough investigation be made in the selec-
ton of this item. We have at all times a
representative stock of instruments and
records. and gladly give public demonstra-
tons. Records of all machines will be
played, and the most thorough investiga-
ton and comparison Of both machines and
records should be made by you, and are
invited by US. No sharp practices have
ever been used by US in making sales. and
we will not resort to trickery. double
decking ofrecords in the making of dem
onstrations,H and other hoodwinking acts

which physicians do not yet fully
understand. it is normally active
only in childhood; in adult life it
degenerates and becomes function
less. There are really two glands,
or two equal halves joined together,
and forming mass about thee and
one half inches long, two inches wide
and two fifths of an inch thick, lying
just behind the upper part of the
breast bone. In Infancy it consists
of flesh like glandular tissue, similar
in substance to the tonsils; at the
age of two or three years it begins
to harden by an increase in the
thickness of the fbrous partitions,
aud this process goes on until the
original thymus substance almost or
entirely disappears; then the fbrous
tissue begins to degenerate in turn,
and finally only mass of fat remains
to mark what was once an organ of
considerable importance.
Some physicians think that the
thymus gland is a blood,forming
organ, and also that it is necessary
for the normal progress Of the nu-
trltive processes. One OF the facts
that have led them to form this con-
clusion is that In small children with
rickets-a disease of defective ASST
imitation and nutrition-the thymus
has sometimes been found to be afro
phled; on the other hand, in some
cases of ricketts, there is an increase
in the size of the thymus. Rstardati-
on of growth or excessive emaciation
is even more commonly associated
heart and contracted arteries. There
are attacks of suffocation or convul-
sions; the vital forces are lowered
so that the subjects catch every
disease to which they are exposed,
and often succumb by reason of their
slight powers of resistance. One
striking characteristic of the lynn
phatic d1athesls is the liability of its
subjects to sudden death. Many
cases of sudden death in children
and young adults, from what seem
to be trivial causes, are to be traced
with imperfect development of the
gland.
More serious, however, than the
too early atrophy of the thymus is Its
too late persistence. That 6 ives rise
to a peculiar constitutional condltl-
on known variously as the Emphatic
diathesis, lymphatism, status lvm-
phaticus or status thymicus. This
affection is marked by a general
overgrowth of adenoid tissue, such
as that of which the tonslls and the
thymus are composed, and small
heart and contracted arteries. There
are attacks of suffocation or convul-
slons; the vital forces are lowered
so that the subjects catch every dis
ease to which they are exposed, and
often suCcumb by reason of their
slight powers Of resistance. One
striking characteristic of the lynn
phatic diathesis is the liability of its
subjects to sudden death. Many
cases of sudden death in children
and young adult, from what seem
to be trivial causes, are to be trac-
ed to this condition. The removal
of the tonsils and adenoids behind
the nose has produced good results,
but there is the risk attached to it,
as to all surgical operations in cases
of Emphatic diathesls. Perhaps a
safer method is to reduce the tissue
by m cans of the X ray.
