615, 900 men employed in that indus
try are on strike in response to the
general strike call, according to re-
ports, in some instances estimated,
received by union leaders.
Despite the Federal injunction
issued at Indianapolis against the
strike, the leaders who generally
stated they would disregard it, as
serted that the strike would be ex-

Webster and Union, in the Western
section, and in Hazard section in
Perry county.
The miners in the four Western
counties have an anti-strike clause

Eats q Thousand Buos.

A cliff swallow will eat a thousand
flies, mosquitoes, wheat-midgets or
beetles that injure fruit trees in a day
and therefore are to be encouraged,
says the American Forestry associa-
ton, Of Washington, which is con-
Quoting the nationwide campaign
among school children for bird-house
building. This bird is also known as
the cave swallow because It plasters
It's nest on the outside of q barn or
other building up under the caves.
Colonies of several thousand will build
their nests together on the side Of a
cliff. These nests shaped like a fat
tened gourd or water-bottle are made
Of bits Of clay rolled into pellets and
lined with straw or feathers. This bird
winters In the tropics.

crippled by the tragedy Of infantile paralysis. That
faith is fast coming to the top again, after they
have been given the much-needed attention.
The women Of the motor corps feel that If there
Is anything they can do to make these children
whole again they are going to do 1t. A large per-
centage of the treatments given the children Is
successful, as most Of the children are young.
Another form Of service rendered by the women
of the motor corps, still using Jamaica as an. illus
tration, takes the district nurse all over the city.
This nurse fellows up the cases Of the children
who have been treated at the hospital and does
good work In finding out what the other needs Of
the children are. In some cases 1t is nourishing
food, in others shoes, in others clothes.
There is only one district nurse in Jamaica and
her salary is paid out Of the proceeds Of a second
hand clothing shop which is run by the well-to-do
women of the community. This shop is patronlzed
by the poorer people of Jamaica and has proved a
source Of great help to them.
One day a shabbily dressed woman walked into
the shop and looked around. She saw two Holland
shades on the counter and paid three cents apiece
for them. The woman who waited on her was
very interested and could not imagine what she
wanted the shades for, when she was evidently In
greater need of other things. A few days later the
woman reappeared at the store and proudly dis
played a white waist and a pair Of white pants her
little boy was wearing.
II bleached the shades she said, because we
have an opportunity to go away to the country for
q week. We were told that we must have a change
Of clothes, so I was able to make a change by doing
this. We are going away tomorrow"
The giver Of the shades would feel glad II she
could know what good had been accomplished by
her act.
Jamaica is not the only city where the people
have realized what the word Service" stands for.

branches of the National League for Women's

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
ale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
ased the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact

most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutrslizes the uric

Astronomers Puzzled.

Some astronomers are of the opinion
that the moon was once upon a time
part Of the earth. and that, while the
latter was in a plastic state, our satel-
lite was thrown out from it. They
point to the Pacific ocean as the cash
from which it was rudely rent.
Maybe so. But nobody knows why
the surface of the moon, Of which we
never see much more than half, is
covered with so-called "craters" that
bear no likeness to anything on the
earth. They are bowl-shaped, usually
circular, and trimmed by cliffs 5000 10
10000 feet high. There are at least
$4,000 Of them visible TO the telescope,
the biggest being 500 miles in diam
eter.

Harvard was convinced that the moon
has a little moon of its own, a few
hundred yards in diameter, which can
be seen only when the earth passes
between the sun and the lunar orb,

Who's Who2

In making the interesting portrait
collection Of Americans earlier than
the eighteenth century, recently pub
lished by the Boston Athenaeum, the
librarian Of that Oldest history in the
New England capital had to take Into
consideration the tricks that time has
a way Of playing with the identity of
ancient portraits. Several pictures Of
men and women who lived in the
original group of colonies were ex-
Guided because It is no longer possible
TO say with certainty that the names
by which they are known are those Of
the sitters. II is now known to be
more than likely, for example, that the
English poet, Charles Churchill, was
the original of the picture long be-
lieved to represent the American SOL
der Of King Philips war, Col. Benja-
min Church. The portrait generally
thought to be that of Miles Standish
is open to the suspicion of really rep
resenting somebody else, and some Of
the surviving pictures supposed 70
show the features Of Roger Williams
have been plausibly identified as the
portraits of other persons.

forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has Matched and raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended TO be kept are mar
keted as broilers, and the others are
kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall.
He is now trying to organize poultry
club for blind people, and the home
demonstration agent in the county
has volunteered to read to the men,
