Saccharine.

As none of it is absorbed by the
blood, diabetes are allowed to use
saGcharine instead of sugar. But sac
charine has been accused Of causing
grave troubles to the digestion and it
has even been indicted as cause of
cancer. The best medical opinion,
however, s>cquits it of these charges,
for there are many diabetes who have
used it regularly for many years with
out any Ill effects. In France sacchar-

Good reports come from the con-
duct of the American soldiers. Wher-
ever attacked they have shown stub
born bravery and effective resource
fulness. and the Hun has found in the
boys from the States foemen worthy
of his steel.
Great activity is reported by the
air forces and twelve enemy aero
planes were shot down in one day.
Japan seems to be halting in its con-
templated activity in Siberia and
there is some anxiety on the part of
the Allies in regard to this hesitan-
cy.
II has been a wet spring on the
western front. and the ground has
been too heavy for hauling the
weighty artillery necessary to fight
ing on a large scale. As soon as the
ground is dry enough to hold up the
big modern guns IL is probable the
biggest battle of the war will begin.

The Atlantic Monthly asked. what
can you expect of a country whose
most popular author is Harold Bell
Wright, whose most popular clergy
man is the Rev Billy Sunday, AMI
whose most popular statesman is
William Jennings Bryan?" But
does the Atlantic not know that the
men and women who cultivate and
promote American literature do not
read Harold Bell Wright, that those
who give direction and course to re-
ligion do not go to hear Billy Sunday
and that the people who direct the
destines of government are not fol-
lowers of Bryan?

most of whom have come up from the

hardships and privatiOns, are peculi-
arly adapted to rendering the humbl-

Ed Mtrrow in his campaign fol

Ed Morrow in his campaign for
governor two years ago pro-
missed the people if elected he would
abolish a number of Useless state
offices. Ed was not made governor,
but he has succeeded in accomplish
ing the abolishment of the useless Of
fices. Alarmed at the sentiment Col.
Morrow aroused against this un-
warranted extravigance Gov. Stanley
ordered the legislature to abolish a
hundred thousand dollars worth of
useless offices, but to provide for the
useless officials holding on till their
terms expired. Ed Morrow went
down to Frankfort, and in a
speech before the Republican
useless offices. Confronted with
this solid Republican demand to cut
out the graft at once Gov. Stanley
took the buck ague, and ordered the
Democratic members to save his own
scalp by taking the scalps of his
friends, and the useless offices and
the useless officers will go together.
And the taxpayers of Kentucky owe
to Ed Morrow, and not to Gov. Stan
ley, and the riddance from their tax
funds the much condemned useless
offices.

More than five hundred weekly
newspapers have gone to the wall
within the last year. Looking over
the advertising of some of our con-
temporaries we see the reason. Two
advertisements have recently been Of
fered all of the weekly papers in this

inch. Looking over our exchanges
when we find one carrying these ads
we at ance class it with those just on
the point of turning their toes to

ance of these six cents an inch ads in

We take it that most people who
have to transact business through the
mails will agree with the Atlantic
Constitution that if Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson will not resign he
should be kicked out. The condition
of the mail service is simply deplor-
Bile, but the President ignores the de
mand of the country for correction.
This Office is daily in receipt of COM
plants from patrons that they do
not receive their papers on time, and
two recent experiences with first class
mail are illustrative of what is hap
pening every day. Thursday of last
week we received two letters from
Louisville, one of which was post
marked Monday. Passengers COM
planned of no unnecessary delay, and
it could not have been the fault of
the railrOd company. The Business
Managers daughter-in-law was going
to San Antonio, TO meet her husband,
and he took precaution to write two
separate letters advising the young
man when his wife would arrive, and
although the letters were mailed two
days in advance of the woman's de-
parture she beat both letters to their
destination. There can be no excuse
for these daily miscarriages of mails
except inefficiency in the mail ser
vice. A general housecleaning in the
post office department is imperative.

THE WEEK IN WAR.

Notwithstanding the Russian gov
ernment has signed a peace treaty
with the Central Powers the hated
Hun continues his march toward the
Russian capital at Petrograd. This
is the first record of history where
a hostile army has continued To lay
waste a country after IL had bowed
it's neck to the yoke of its conquerors
Kipling has aptly called Germany
"The thug OF nations" The purpose
of this ruthless war on a conquered
nation is to terrorize its inhabitants
against a possible uprising and reas-
sertion of it's national spirit.
The report comes from Finland
that Ferdinand, OF Bulgaria, is pro-
posing to the governments Of Aus
tria and Turkey that action be taken
without consulting Germany looking
toward a separate peace. The report
may not be reliable, but 1t is given
some credit in diplomatic circles.
Such a move, IL made in good faith,
would hasten the dawn of the day of
peace.
The long advertised German often
sive on the western front has not yet
materialized. Sharp artillery engage
ments occur daily on the western line,
but no decisive results are reported.
