tied States say when they begin to
take stock and to inquire why $780,
oOo, ,0o0,sss of debts were piled up for
an ideal-when they begin to ask
what justified the expenditure"
The first question, he said, viii be
asked of the schools. He declared
that he is proud of the fact that
Kentucky is not alone the first state
in the Union, but the first place in the
world to take up the illiteracy prob
lem in a definite way. The Kentucky
plan of wiping out illiteracy has been
adopted in many other states, and
though there have been many criti-
,cisms, never has there been a single
suggestion of better method.
The Kentucky way, DIR. Coates said
deserves the sympathy of every man
and woman who lives in Kentucky,
who love Kentucky children, and who
believe that the 100000 illiterate sol
diers have been denied an opportuni-
ty.
"The lesson Of the future" Presi-
dent Coates stated, ais that it is the
privilege of all have full opportun-
fly at all times to learn"
The cure, he said, is not by striking
at symptoms, but to treat the disease
itself. A survey, DIR. Coates asserted,
has revealed that illiteracy begets IL
literacy. There never has been en-
fIliterate child, he declared, but that
one or both of its parents were un-
learned. To rid childhood of the af-
Fiction, he pointed out, is impossible
If illiteracy is allowed to remain
among parents. It is this state OF
affairs, he said, that develops much
of the resistance against compulsory
education and attendance.
The American people, he said, are
Just beginning to learn that the best
thing in the world is service. He as
serted it will be worth while service
when the people realize that the duty
toward the illiterate class rests equal
" upon everyone. The future OF ev-
jerything that is good and worth while
depends upon education. DIR. Coates
declared, in urging that all Kentucky
educators realize their duty and lend
their support and influence to the
movement during the year.

SAYS COLD WEATHER
BRINGS RETURN OF
INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful To Avoid
Second Epidemic. Easier To Pre-
vent Than Cure. What To Do.

Encouraging reports of the few
er cases Of influenza in this vicinity
should not allow US to relax our Wig
lance or to become careless in the be-
lief that the danger is all over" says
well known authority. With the
coming of cold weather there is apt to
be a return of this frightful epidemic
and its seriousness win depend on the
extent of the precautions taken by
the public, to prevent infection.
When the air is full of influenza
germs, you may constantly be breath
ing them into your nose and throat.
But their danger may be avoided and
you may make yourself practically
immune to infection IL you destroy
the germ before it actually begins
work in your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic
which hit Richmond so hard, most
successful results were obtained by
many through the simple breathing
into the nose, throat and lungs Of the
medieated air Of oil Of Hyomei. Prob
ably no better, safer or more sensible
precaution against Influenza, Grippe,
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, or Catarrh
of the nose and throat could be en-
ployed than 70 go now to the nearest

pure Oil Of Hyomei, and little vest

Carry this inhaler with You during
the day and each half hour or SO put
lit in your mouth and draw deep
Ibreaths Of its pure healing germicidal
air into the passages Of your nose,

arsenal here went into effect today 1t
was the first plant to adopt the new
system permitted under a recent ruling
of the war department. While the au-
thority of the commanding officer was
not diminished, he will be expected to
consider recomme ndations Of advisory
committees of workers OF the different
departments.
The plan marks change In policy
OF government treatment Of employees
and amounts to an official recognition
and approval by the United states OF
the movement toward a voice in the
control OF industry by labor.
Rock Island workers with sweaty
brows and calloused hands. entered
upon their work with genuine enthu.
siasm. They saw ahead not only the
opportunity of working for days pay
but also OF laboring because of an
actual interest in the industry itself
While the fun operation of the plan
has only begun the anticipation has
already speeded up production to a
marked degree. Nowhere is there a
greater or more radical change than In
the administration of working condi-
tons Here the principles OF industrial
democracy or self-control are actively
being put into operation.
