THE DAM QUESTION Is AT LAST
SETTLED,

A written contract has been signed
by the city of Paris and Mr.. B. M.
Renlck, president of the Paris Milling
Company, regarding the construction
OF the new dam at or near the Mill
ing Company's plant, and which will
practically settle the much-disputed
dam" question. The contract makes
the stipulations that the Paris Water
Company is to pay half the cost of
the new structure, and the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad Company
one-third. This leaves the Paris
Milling Company to pay one-sixth of
the cost, less the sum of $3.50 to be
paid by the city .
Yesterday force of workmen,
under the supervision of Louisville &
Nashville engineers, began the pre-
liminary work on the dam by sink
ing piling to hold back the refuse
and to be the foundation for the
false work which will be the super
structure of the new dam. The en-
gineers have estimated that it will
require six weeks to get the neces-
sary supplies on the ground, tear out
the old dam, and begin the construc-
ton of. the new one, but that the
real construction work can be COM
pleted in fifteen days.

taxpayers Of Bourbon county to be-
come candidate for the State Leg

me that should continue my efforts
to adjust the tax laws of the State

The opportunity has now come
when it is possible to do more effec-

While 1 consider it an honor to

VOLUME xxxVIiI
as USUAL-AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr. Ebert Rose, Misses Iona and
Christine McCord, of Paris, and
Miss Ethel Biddle, of Newtown,
Scott county, were victims of an au-
tomobile accident near Georgetown,
Friday afternoon, in which Mr.. Rose
was the chief sufferer.
The party had been visiting Miss
Biddle at her home near Georgetown,
and had started home to take their
hostess with them as far as George
town. It is said that the machine
was going at a very careful rate of
speed when suddenly the driver lost
control. The machine was overturn-
ed, Mr.. Rose being pinned under
meath the car. and the other occu-
pants being thrown to the ground,
sustaining minor bruises. Mr.. Rose
was picked up by passers by and
hurried to the Ford Hospital, at
Georgetown, where he was given
medical attention. The other mem
bers of the party were removed to
their homes. The damaged machine
was brought TO local garage for
repairs. Mr. Rose is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Dudley Rose, Of Nineteenth
street.
A local garage man stated Sunday
morning that he had heard of four
teen accidents occurring between
Paris and Lexington Saturday night
No one was seriously injured, anG
there were no fatalities. The ma
chimes in most cases were overturned
through reckless driving on the par
of the drivers, who had been attend
ing the obesQuies Of John Barley
corn at Lexington, and in no case
was there a really serious accident
as might have resulted from a col
lision. In several instances the con
tents of the machines, several quart
of "juice" sustained the severest loss
or the owners thereof did. 1t wa
reported that the largest number o
machines ever seen on the Lexingtol
pike, were noticed on Saturday after
noon and night Not all joy-riding
but for the most part bound to ant
from the home of the now-deposet
monarch, John Barleycorn, at Lex
ington.

during which time he gave of the
services without stint, deeminS it

EMPLOYMENT FOR THE
 TUBERCULOSIS

The search for Tight out door employment" by the tu- berculous and by those who is a fallacy, according to the re- port made by the Federal Board of Vocational Education. The notion is widespread that persns who have been cured of tuberculosis, as we'll as persons who have the disease in mild form should seek outdoor en- ployment as the first step in their complete rehabilitation.
 This notion is the natural ac- compartment to the idea that fresh air is the first considera- tion in the cure of tuberculosis. There was a time when every body held that fresh air was a. bout the only factor in curing tuberculosis; and the general public, uniformed about the advance that has been made in general knowledge of the treatment of the disease in re- cent years, still clings to that idea. But a revolution has been brought about among those who have kept up with the progress made in treat ment. Fresh air is still con- sidered extremely important, but it is not given first consider ation. Rest has been given first place now and fresh air is secondary to it.
 So the obsession for flight, outdoor emplyment" is also not given the attention anymore that it once received. The Federal Board of Vocational Education declares that"ex- perience has demonstrated that most arrested cases es- pecially those who have been accustomed to indoor work will do better if they return to in- door jobs. Moreover there are few outdoor jobs that are suit able for the tuberculous, while there are many suitable indoor jobs"
 If the ex-patient has been used to outdoor work, it is de- sira ble for him to return to that class of work, according tc the Federal Board. But if he has been used to indoor work, he should go into something as nearly like the work he had been doing as possible. taking care that the conditions sur rounding his job shall be healthful, that the rooms are we'll ventilated, and taking care above all things to Ego easy". A careful, we'll regu- lated life, both during work ing hours and when off duty. Is of greater importance than merely to have light outdoor employment"

The Sealed Bottle.

The decision of the supreme court
on wartime prohibition boils down to
this. In war time the government can
do almost anything, and as the govern
ment has not yet made peace, it is still
invested with wartime powers. The
finding is another blow to the liquor
interests which, by a curious c0mbina-
ton of circumstances, are confronted
with what amounts to confscation.
When the prohibition amendment re-
ceived the Endorsement of the required
number of states, years time was
provided for disposal of stocks of liz
adopted in ordinary peace times, there
would have been no conhscation.
But along came the war-nspired
measure passed strangely enough, aft
er the fighting had ended and the armi-
stiee had been signed, and going into
effect on the LIST Of July. The measure
was intended to save foodstuffs, and of
course the emergency period caused by
the war did not end with the fighting.
What this war act did, however, was
to cut in half the year of grace allowed
the liquor interests under the constltu-
tional amendment, and thus to-day
they find themselves with many mil
lions of dollars worth of unstable
property on their hands.
We are witnessing, therefore, the
first example of government eonfisca-
tion in our constitutional history.
While the slavery issue was agitating
the country there were frequent pro.
posals to free the slaves, but the pro.
posals were accompanied by plans for
compensating the owners.
Slavery was finally destroyed by war,
and it was a proclamation of the com
mander in chief of the army, a war
measure, which lifted the negro out Of
the property classification.
In its dealings with the liquor trade,
the government has established pre-
cedent. So far as can be seen now, the
tapping over Of wartime prohibition to
