In the past grain was often graded
at country points on the basis of an
average for the crop, which placed
the best grain in lower grades than
1t deserved. Now a grower of the
best wheat receives premium, even
under fixed prices, for his extra care
in producing It, Thus Federal stand
ards provide premium grades for
grain Of superior quality.

NEW RULING MADE ON THE USE
OF SUGAR.

According to information received
recently by Mr.. Lawrence Mitchell,
of North Middletown, Food Admins
traitor for Bourbon county, three
pounds of sugar month for each
person in the United States is the
latest declaration of the National
Food Administration, and one which
it is expected will be strictly adher-
ed to. According to their new rul-
ing each person will be allowed
daily one and one-half ounces of
sugar.
The new sugar regulation is much
more stringent than the previous one,
in which each person was allowed
four ounces of sugar daily. fThe
United States administration is said
to have contracted for large amount
of sugar from Cuba, but has been I'M
able to secure it's transportation to
this country because of the congested
condition of shipping. The sugar
shortage this winter promises to be
even more serious than the past
winter.

LOOK OUT FOR POISON IVY NOW

This is the season of the year
when the presence of poison ivy is
very apparent in the city and county.
Several cases Of ivy poisoning have
been heard of in the city. The poison
ivy leaf is an inOffensive, harmless
looking thing, but woe betide the un-
lucky individual who comes in con-
tact with it.
The danger from poison ivy vines
which have been found growing in
various sections of the city and
county, and which have caused con-
siderable inconvenience to persons
will prove to be slight if the proper
precaution is observed touch

LAT0NIA DERBY NEXT IMPOR-
TANT TURF EVENT.

With the Kentucky Handicap a
matter of history, the attention of
western turfmen is now turning to
the Latonia Derby, which great $15,-
600 race for three-year-olds is to run
at Fair Latonia'' on Saturday,
June %.
This will be the third and last of
the three outstanding events of Ken
lucky spring racing. And it will by
no means be the last.
The star three-year-olds of the sea-
son will be tried by this race, with
its stamina testing distance of one
mile and one-half, as in no other
contest in which they will engage
during the whole season., 1t is COM
ing to be recognized that the Lato-
mia Derby is in class by itself as a
contest for three-year-olds and each
passing year finds the owners of high
class three-year-olds more and more

Among the candidates for this race,
which has been run uninterruptedly
since 1888, are such stars of the turf

prominence. Two weeks in advance of
the running of this great race it GER

as notable struggle as has been in
all the history of this big event of

WHAT IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN
HERE?

Wheat flour was issued by S. D.
Hanley, local food administrator, on
a physicians prescription, at Dallas,
Texas, last week. Texas for the last
two months voluntarily has foregone
the use of any wheat. Hanley re-
ceived a letter from a physician ask
ing him to permit the sale Of -four

An order for the sale of II pounds

ADVANCED PASSENGER RATES
IN EFFECT.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, June 10
Promptly at midnight, Sunday, ticket
sellers at the Grand Central and
Pennsylvania Railroad depots began
selling passenger tickets at the ad-
vanced rate of three cents mile, in
keeping with the recent order OF Dl-
rector General of Railroads w. g..
McAdoo.
For the past few days, tickets to
distant points have been sold in ex-
ceptionally large numbers by city

lines and at the depot offices. Ap-
parently, great many Cincinnatians
were hurrying to take advantage of
the old rates and through travel was
reported as being heavy in all sec
tions of the country.
Ticket sellers early Monday morn
ing reported two or three persons who
demonstrated at the increased fares
charged but said that most travellers
understood about the new prices and
paid the extra money with grin, ad-
ding they hoped that it would help
win the war.
According to the ticket sellers, the
public seemed to consider the advance
in prices as quite the proper thing
and the only comment was in the
way of cheerful pleasantries. One
woman purchaser said she hoped the
extra money would 60 to the fighting
marines, because they were doing
such wonderful work in France.
General Passenger Agent d. M.
Bowman, of the Big Four, and Chair
man of the joint city ticket Office
committee in Cincinnati, said Sunday
night that there was no estimating
the effect the advanced rates would
have on travel.
eve simply have no precedent to
20 by, and, apparently, the only way
we can find out the effects of the ad-
vance will be through actual exper-
fence. Passenger men have talked
with a great many people who say
they are going to take their vacations
this year, but, of course, there are
great many people passenger men
do not see and talk with. really do
not know how to give any estimate,
approximate or otherwise, and it is
generally agreed that any specula-
ton along that line right now would
be mere guess work"
Passengers who were en- route last
night on tickets purchased at the old
rates were allowed to finish their
journey without paying any excess
fare, but this prevented any stop
over privileges. Return trip tickets
sold at the old rates were also honor
ed, as these tickets were sold accord,

effect at the time of purchase. While
mileage tickets were not honored, un'
used mileage will be redeemed.
| Rates for Pullman sleepers ano
chair cars were advanced and Pull
man representatives, like passenger
Officials, said they could not estimate
what the effect would be on future
travel.
Ticket office receipts will be watch
ed with great interest for the mex
few weeks. While there are some WHIT

ger travel will be the result in ad
vanced fares, the great majority arr

their vacations as usual and that thu
revenues of Uncle Sam will be great

FOR COLDS RND GRIPPE
FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and
ne will tell YOU that the first step III
the treatment of a cold, cough, infiu-
enza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk calomel purgative, prefera-
bly, the nausealess calomel, called
Catotabs." This alone is often suffi-
cient to break up severe cold over
night, Or cut short an attack of the
grippe, and possibly prevent pneumo-
mia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time. with a swallow OF water
that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor
the slightest interference with youl
eating, pleasures or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished and
your entire system is purified and
refreshed. Calotahs are sold only in
original sealed packages; price
thifty-five' cents. Recommended ana

Oldest Living West Pointer.

Oldest Living West Pointer.
General Horatio Gates Gibson, the
oldest living graduate Of West Point,
veteran Of the Mexican civil and In
dian wars, has just celebrated his
91st birthday In good health and
spirits.
Among the guests Of the soldier on
his birthday were few surviving
members Of the Aztec Club, which
was formed by officers Of the service
In the city Of Mexico seventy-one years
ago. There is only a squad of the
original members Of this club living.
Gen. Gibson Is one Of them and is the
organizations president.
1t is probable that this veteran
thought as a young soldier, after cam
paigning from Vera Cruz to the city
Of Mexico under the leadership OF
Gen. Winfield Scott, that the Mexican
war was a good deal Of war. It is
likely, also, after serving as an ar
tillery chieftain through the cam
paigns from 81 to '85, that he thought
the civil war was about tho biggest
thing In the shape Of war that ever
happened or could happen. Today,
this man Of service, 81 years Of age,
ts under the necessity Of readjusting
his earlier thoughts on the compara-
tive magnitude Of conflicts between
nations.--St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

CAkOAiEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK.
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver, and You Lose
Days Work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omei when few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, q per-
feot substitute for calomel.
It Is a pleasant vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick, and can't salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones
Take a dose Of nasty calomel to-day
and you feel weak, sick and nauseat-
ed tomorrow. Don't lose days
work. Take a spoonful Of Dodson' $
Liver Tone instead. You will wake
upfeeling great. No more biliousness,
constipation, sluggisiiness, headache,
coated tongue or sour stomach Your
druggist says If you don't find Dod-
sons Liver Tone acts better than hor-
rible calomel your money is waiting

GOT THE PROMISED CHILD
How ChlIeat Natives Kept Their Wore
With the Missionaries, Of Five
Years Standing.

In nay Intimate companionship with
Muir IL Alaska L saw many instances
Of his warm human sympathy, s. Hall
Young writes in World Outlook. One
occurred when In 1870 we were visit
ing the tribe Of Chilcats. These Chill
cats, recognized as the most warlike
and arrogant Of the Thlinget tribes,
were nevertheless so interested In the
gospel message I had to bring them
that they crowded the house where we
lodged, filling it full and pryfng off
planks from Its side so that those with
out could hear.
The first night we spent In the vii
lage, after an all-day's pa!aver, we
were about to retire to our blankets
when woman brought baby to us
which was almost q skeleton from lack
Of nourishment, and whose feeble cry
was most p'tiful % Rear. The woman
explained that the baby's mother had
died, and that they had no food for the
child-none of the other women being
IN condition to nurse it. At once Muir
and set about preparing condensed
milk for the baby. We diluted 1t with
warm water until we thought It Of the
proper consistency, and fed 1t to the
starving baby. The child was almost
too weak to take this nourishment, and
1t required the utmost patience and
care to feed 1t. Muir worked with
that little papoose almost all night,
rocking 1T In his arms and soothing
It's cries. and when at last 1t rested In
healthful, refreshing sleep, he care
fully showed the woman how to pre-
pare It's food, and insisted upon leav.
Ing all OF our remaining canned milk
for the baby. The natives voluntarily
told me when we were about to leave
that If the baby lived it belonged to
me and they would bring 1t down to
Fort Wrangel. I thought but little Of
this promise, knowing how easily
people forget such things; but Ave
years a. 4 this occurrence I was sur.
prised to have some Chilcat natives
bring sturdy and healthy little boy,
and formally give him to me, saying
that this was the baby whose life we
had saved, and he therefore belonged
to us. The child was taken Into our
mission at Wrangel, and I baptized
him with the name of "John," after
my friend.

APPRECIATES AMERICAS WORE
President viii he as Welcome us
We're the Troops.

london, Dec. s. The British
newspapers Of recent days, in pub
fishing full reports of President Will
sons address to Congress and news
regarding his voyage abroad, have
taken occasion to point out the Brit
leh public's evergrowing apprecia-
tion Of what the American soldiers
and the American people as a whole
have done in tho war.
I'VE would ask the Americans. "
says the Times, Ito believe that the
Allied peoples regard the coming OF
the President in the same light iii
which they regarded the immense
war effort Of the United States. and
the decisive contribution of the arm
ed forces to the common victory. IF
1t be a sacrifice for the American
people that the President should
come, 1t is a sacrifice which the Eu-
ropean peoples deeply appreciate"
Noting the Presidents suggestion
that control may yet, perhaps for a
long while," have to be exercised
over shipping, the Times says:
I'VE venture to read into this
Americas recognition Of the splendid
worR done by bodies like the wheat
exesative and the inter-Allied mari
time transport board, whose opera
tions have gone far to prove the feas-
1b1hty Of a practical league of ma
tons"
The Morning Post says that Presi-
dent Wilson's address bore witness
to the great achievement. OF the
American army and to the hardly
less notable accomplishment of those
at home who supported the army.
The Americans in the field under
Cen. Pershing were able at a critical
moment Of the campaign to strike a
blow which, in consonance with Mar
shal Foch's great plan of campaign,
ehlhlled the allotted task of the
American forces at st. Mihiel and at
Chateau Thierry. British troops that
fought alongside the Americans tes
tify to their quickness, resourceful-
ness and valor The presence Of
many thousands of the United States
army in this country has brought the
two countries into cordial relations,
which we cannot believe will ever
again be clouded by misunderstand-
ing."
