How To Use The
TELEPHONE

Did it ever occur to you that you
might not.be using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways, above. be-
low. or six inches away from the trans
mitter of your TELEPHONE?
You should talk directly into the
transmitter simply at it. Keep your
lips about one inch from the mouthpiece.
Speak in an even tone. tits not neces-
sary to shout.
There is much that can be said about
the proper way to telephone. but these
little rules will help.

Richmond. KY, October S-Hon.
James B. McCreary, former governor
of the State of Kentucky and a for
mer United States Senator, died at
his home in this city this morning af-
ter an illness of only few days.
Monday morning Governor Nc
Creary was found lying on the floor of
his bed room in an unconscious state
by servant when he went to the dis
tinguished Kentuckian's room. The
aged statesman wore his street
clothes and it is supposed that he had
fallen on his bed room floor the night
before and had lain there all during
the night.
Mr.. McCreary was so years of age
He was twice governor of the State
and for six years represented Ken
lucky in the United States Senate
while for many years he was a rep
resentative of his district in the lower
House of Congress. His first election
as governor of Kentucky was in 1875
and thirty-siX years later he was
again a successful candidate for the
Office

He was one of the most distinguish
ed Democrats in the south and had
been honored by his state probably
more than any other man in the long
history of the commonwealth. He
was interested in national politics and
was always in the councils of the
Democratic party of the nation.
Governor McCreary had taken much
interest in the present war and was
lending much OF his time to helping
win the war for Democracy. Besides
being an honored member of many
national organizations he was Vice
President for the State of Kentucky
Of the League to Enforce Peace.
Mr.. McCreary was Richmond's most
prominent citizen and owned very
large farm near this city. Since it
first BECAME known here that the dis
tinguished citizen was i'll the entire
Gitizenry has been grieved and the
death has cast a gloom that will not
only cover Richmond and Madison
county but the entire State /of Ken
lucky where the grand old man" was
highly respected and loved.

SPANISH FLU" ON
THE INCREASE ALL
over THE NATION
Efforts of Health Officers to Check
Epidemic Have Thus Far Failed
Red Cross MObiIizing Forces.


Washington, October S-Notwith-
standing the determined fight being
made against Spanish influenza, re-
ports from all sections of the country
today showed a general increase, both
as to the territory affected and the
number of new cases, in territory pre-
viously reported The full force OF
the American Red Cross is being mob
ilized to fight further spread of the
disease, all chapters throughout the
country being requested to place their
entire resources at the disposal of the
health authorities.
/ In a further effort to check the
spread of the epidemic Surgeon Cen
eral Blue of the Public Health serv-
ice, sent out a request to all cities in
which the epidemic has appeared to
close all schools, theaters and other
public meeting places until such time
as the disease can be gotten under
control
In contrast to the general situa-
ton, however, reports from the vari-
GUS army camps showed a slight de-
crease, although pneumonia con-
tinued to increase. The total num-
ber of influenza cases reported in all
camps since September 13 is now
167, goo. Pneumonia cases total H.

calls are being sent out for both men

PRESIDENT may
REPLY To PEACE
OVERTUUES TODAY
Wilson Is Expected to Address Con-
gress After Preparing Answer to
Hun Peace Feeler.

Washington, October S-That Amer
ica's answer to the Teutonic peace Of
fers would be forthcoming today, or
very soon afterward, was the indica-
tion in official quarters.
Rumor had it that President Will
son would address Congress, but this
lacked confirmation.
1t was known that the president
had given deep thought to the nature
of his reply. There was a general
feeling that quick, terse action would
serve American purposes best.
Speculation with respect to the re-
ply turned on two elements:
FIRST: Will President Wilson con-
suit the allies as to his course?
SECOND: Will his answer inform
the central powers, as has been done
in the past, that the present Teuton
form of government is not to be trust
ed and that peace cannot be made un-
til the government is responsive to
the people?
In the first case, the only light
forthcoming was information from the
State Department that the president
would not necessarily advise with the
allies, even though he was asked by
the Teuton note to transmit the situa-
tion to them.
AS for the second, experts in prop
aganda said the present situation of
fers a golden opportunity to the Unit
ed States to drive home its idea that
aWocracy must be stripped away be-
fore peace can be made with the Teu-
ton nations.
Such a statement forecfully made
at this time, it was argued, might
stir up the brewing spirit of revolt,
at least in Austria, and cause a break
in that political alignment of the cen
trail powers.
The Turkish peace offer probably
will be delivered today or tomorrow
via the Spanish embassy.

Although on account of the orders
of the City, County and State Boards
of Health the public concert by the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
Band was called off yesterday, that
organization arrived here this morn
ing over the l.. & n. on their way to
Gil other engagements along the c. &
o. line East of here.
AS soon as it was learned that the
band was in the city many people be-
gan to urge upon the Local Liberty
Loan committee that they have the
band play some music on the streets
ana if the Health Board would not
permit a concert where crowds would
gather they urged that at least the
Land parade through the business dis
trict giving us one or two pieces of
music.
After some time and upon being as
sured that the Health Board would
not object to the parade, 1t was an
noinced that the band would play
several selections after noon. The
newspapers had announced that the
band would not play and there were
not kmany country people in the city
but sthe word was noised about the
city that there would be some music
and in; short time after the noon
hour tn ere was a good sized crowd in
the business district.
The band led by its red headed
drum major who has won for himself
the title of "The human pea cock"
paraded ! the business district The
music they made was far above the
ordinary and those who were favor
ed with the opportunity can indeed
feel themselves fortunate.
1t was very unfortunate indeed that
the epidemic of grip should come just
at this time and upset all of the plans
for a splendid concert and big Lib
erty Loan Rally.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making OF this great
medicine for woman s. ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and paedicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

RUDE OLDRlNG ONLY
VET WITH ATHLETICS
Connie Mack's Line-Up Has Been
Completely Changed.
Stars of Old White Elephant Machine
Which Won Four remnants in
Stretch of Five Years Are Re.
placed by Youngsters.

RUDE Oldring, persuaded to come out
of retirement by Connie Mack this sea-
son, is the only player on the Mackian
roster who was actively engaged in
the pennant-winning campaign of 1914,
when the Athletics won their last
American League streamer.
Gone are the stars of the old White
Elephant machine which rolled through
the American league, winning four
pennants in a stretch of five years,
and in their places are players upon
whom Mack is depending to regain the
laurels of his once famous club.
The once famous infield of the old
Mackmen composed of Baker, Barry,
Collins and McInnis, has been re-
placed by Burns, Gardner, Shannon
and Dugan. Baker is with the Yanks,
Collins with the White Sox, McInnis
with Boston and Barry in the navy.
The old Athletic outfield has faded
away completely. Strunk has been
sent to the Red Sox and Oldring has
been used as pinch hitter for the
most part since coming back to the
club.
Bender. Bush, Coombs, Plank, PEN
mock, Shawlley, Wyckof and Bressler
were the mainstays of Mack's pitch
ing staff only four years ago, yet not
one of them is wearing a Philadel-
phia uniform. Bender is helping
Uncle Sam build ships at Hog is
land. Bush is with the Red Sox,
Coombs with Brooklyn, Bressler with
the Reds, Plank retired and Pennock,
Shawkey and Wyckoff in the service.
Lapp, Schang and Thomas, catchers,
have also passed along, Schang being
the only one still classed as star.
McAvoy, who was with the club in
1914, was a fourth string catcher at
the time and is now doing half the
backstopping for the rejuvenated club.
Gardner, Walker and Cady, from
Boston; Jameson, from Washington !;
Burns, from Detroit, and Gregg and
Kopp, from the International league,
have stepped into the shoes left va
cant by Mack's many deals within two
years. In short the Athletics are per-
fectly camoufiaged.

Cheaper Foods Are Made
More Appetizing If Care
Is Used in Preparation

Proper attention to cooking and sea-
soning will make appetizing dishes of
the cheaper yet nutritious foods. Ac-
cording to the U. S. department Of
agriculture, it will increase greatly
their consumption and thus reduce con-
siderably the use of more expensive
foods now eaten in place of them.
Many housewives who complain that
children and adults will not eat break
fast cereals fail to realize that the GER
calls they serve may be undercooked,
scorched, or improperly seasoned and
thus made unpalatable. Most of the
cheaper foods require careful season
ing and preparation to be fully appe-
tizing.
Vegetables properly prepared tempt
the appetite. When they are soggy or
poorly seasoned, much of them will be
left on the table.
The quality and flavor of meat or
fish can be injured by overlooking or
improper cooking. If fats are allowed
to burn even little, they develop un-
