Death CLAIMS
DEVOTED Mother
Mrs. Norman D. Brown Died at Her
. Home in Georgetown Last
Wednesday.

Mrs. Norman Drake Brown died
at her home in Georgetown, very
suddenly on last Wednesday, taking
to the Great Beyond with her her
new born babe, complications attend
ing the birth of which caused her
death. Mrs. Brown was 35 years Of
age and before marriage was Miss
Fannie Groves, daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Groves, of
this city. She was born and reared
in this city and up until few years
ago made her home in Mt. Sterling.
A woman of lovely christian char
acter, one whose first and every
thought was of her home and family,
bending every effort and straining ev-
cry nerve to give comfort to her
loved ones, she was greatly admired
and loved by all who had the pleas
ure of knowing this sweet and love-
ly young matron. IT'S sad indeed
when a young mother is called to
her reward, leaving behind the little
ones of which she was so fond. But
the doings of our Creator are often
times had to understand bue we
must all feel secure in the knowl-
edge that He doth all things for the
best. Fam Brown, as she was af-
fectionately known to a host of To-
cal friends, was a beautiful chris
tian character and a devout member
of the Presbyterian church. Besides
her husband, who is connected with
the Georgetown News, she is survv-
ed by two little children, Bette Hope,
aged 6, and Norman D., Jr., aged 2,
besides two sisters, Miss Minnie
Groves, of Florida, and Mrs. Chas.
Embry, and one brother, Rev. Cole
man o. Groves, of Mississippi. The
remains were brought to this city by
motor Friday afternoon and in
tered in Machpelah cemetery where
short services were conducted at the
grave by Rev. j. S. Wilson. The
heart-broken husband, the dear little
children and the loving sisters and
brother have the deepest sympathy
of this entire community in the sad
passing Of this beautiful example of
self sacrifice and love. May the
God of Mercy be near unto and give
comfort to the sorrowing ones.

STOCK THIEVES
KEEPING BUSY
During the Last Two Weeks Many
Hogs and Some Cattle Have
Been Stolen.

During the last two weeks or ten
days, several head of hogs and one
big steer have been reported stolen
to Sheriff John G.. Roberts and on
Saturday q number of farmers or
ganized and have raised 100000 to
offer rewards for the arrest and con-
viction of the person or persons
found guilty. (For full particulars
of reward see large advertisement in
this paper). Henry R. Prewitt, on
the Maysville pike, had two large
hogs stolen one night and the next
night another one was missing and
in few days one Of his big LOO
pound steers was taken Last We'd
nesday night four hogs belonging to
John Mcdonald were taken from the
Moberley place on the Paris pike.
Allie Ratliff had two hogs stolen
Friday night from his farm on the
Winchester pike.
This is not the first stock stealing
reported in the county as 7. P. SUIT
ton lost a couple of fine steers last
spring and we understand both
Charles Duff and Frank Boyd lost
stock during the spring. Apparent
ly there is an organized gang of
thieves working with an automobile
truck as the tracks were found
where the men had caught the hogs
on the Ratliff place. Farmers and
stockmen should keep a strict watch
and notify the sheriff promptly if
any clues are found. 1t would also
be a good idea to oil up their rifles
and shotguns.

WHEN YOU WAKE
} UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores DO not absorb impur-
ties into the blood, causing, illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly fermonts and generals
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishmcnt
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, Il
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire almentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
4 quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside bathing.

Don't Let Soap

and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive

Suppose a business man with
thriving business in a small city de-
cides to open branches throughout
the state. He does so and makes
big success OF it. Would you attrib-
ute his success to his vision and en-
terprise or to the fact that he con-
fined his operations to his state :?
And suppose it is suggested that he
can afford to branch out little
more now, is it a valid arsument that
hitherto he hasn't done business in
other states? OF course not. If to-
day he has the same vision and en-
terprisc, he will go on developing his
business.
Among certain tribes of the South
sea islands il is the ambition of every
boy to get to the point where he can

London, Feb. 11.-Special licenses
have been issued by the British gov
eminent for the importation of 20
per cent of the amount of American
boots and shoes which entered this
country in 1913. This concession,
following closely on the agitation III
congress, indicates how the Ameri-
can attitude is being watched.
Such concession was foreshadowed
in a dispatch to the World yesterday.
Nothing indicates today, however, that
it presages any general loosening up
of the embargo on American manu-
features 1t will be, according to
American business men interested,
only temporary relief. The total i'm
ports from all countries of boots and
shoes in 1913 was only 226, 81 Dozen
of which a very considerable amount
came from France.

WHY PEOPLE SUCCEED.

\ While a thorough knowledge of the
! technique of ones trade is the first
! essential to success, certain other Gle
ments contribute largely.
For instance, take the matter,
which seems small to some people, of
| punctuality. There arc persons who
never can be depended upon to keep
/ a business appointment. If they say
they will meet some one at 2 O'Clock,
you can depend on their not getting
there before 2:15. OR they may for
get the date altogether People who
are negligent in this way greatly irri-
tate those who have lost time wait
ing around for them. A man who has
lhds been forced to wait will do bust
uess with some one else if he can.
An employe who. fails in punctuality
conveys the in preston of being I'M
dependable, and the employer con
cludes that he shows poor stuff for
! promotion.
| System is very essential. Any man
can increase and improve his product
( by arranging it in orderly cla~sifica-
tons and sequences. If you have
twenty different things to do in a day,
arrange them in distinct classes, and
do the things that are of the same
kind all at one time. You can ac-
quire better speed running along on
one kind of work for an hour than if
you are changing over every few
minutes.
An orderly desk, bench or store
department is a great help. 1t helps
one acquire a quality of swift. clean
cut action \ disorderly work place
creates brain flag. 1t gives one a hope
less feeling of copfuson and of being
crowded, which makes efficient work
impossible.
Business men judge of a persons
capacity by this factor of orderly APP
pearance as much as by any other.
The clerk who has desk with papers
neatly gathered in separate piles, each
to have individual treatment, and all
those not requiring immediate action
put away, yet not buried so as to be
forgotten, is the one that wins the
approval of the employer and gets the
quick recognition.

young states now forming in Europe.
Now comes another problem This
concerns a British protectdrate.
A club known here as THE Egyp-

drawn up a memorandum which it
will hand to the peace conference.
one passage in the note complains of
the absence of Egyptian delegates.
Egyptian representation is asked for.
The club urges that the conference
let Egyptians decide their own future
in conformity with President Wilson's
principles and promises made on va
rious occasions by British authorities.
The Britons are quoted as promising
to let the people of Egypt enjoy their
legitimate independence,
