BUREAU OF COUNTY HEALTH WORK
Majority for

Because of the desire among a
number of counties to maintain
efficient, full. time Health Off,
GERS, the Kentucky State Board
of Health has created a Bureau
of County Health Work, whose
activies will be solely devoted to
assisting in financing and pro-
noting the work of such depart
ments.
DR.. P, W. Covington, of the
International Health Board. has
been loaned to the State for the
purpose of assuming the Direct
orship of the Bureau.
In the beginning a large part
of his time will be devoted to as
sisting county health authorities
in organizing full time health de-
partments.
DR.. Covington brings to the
State, wide experience in such
work, having spent the last ten
years in organizing county health
departments throughout the
South. as we'll as in some of the
foreign countries.
The State Board of Health is
now in position to give $4,000
annually to the first five counties
making a like appropriation. The
$4,000 thus provided for, in
each of the five counties, to be
used in employing a physician,
trained in public health work,
and an adequate number of as
sistants, such as public health
microscopists and sanitary in
spectors, who will devote theil
entire time to the prevention o.
sickness within the county.

Better farming. better marketing

HOW THE SCANDAL STARTED
Mrs, Dee, Convinced She Had a "Hot

Tweedles literary predictions al
ways irked his practical sister, Mrs.
Dee. So it followed that amity ceased
to dwell between them when he mar
ried wife whose incessant converse
was of literary celebrities and whose
ecstatic ambition was to meet them
face to face.
Now Tweedle and his sister, Mrs.
Dee, both were friends of the Diffident
Young Man, who one day received an
invitation to little party in Green
wich Village, which read facetiously
and in part:
1.-THE Tweedles will be there, but III.
G. Wells will not. If Mrs. Tweedle
mentions him we propose an immedi-
ate and rebuking silence"
Because of that and other scintillat-
ing bits in the note, the Diffident
Young Man showed it to Mrs. Dee. She
read it and her lips compressed and
then she went to the phone.

Pleasures of Candle Liaht.

Candle light is a living thing. Chill

lighted Christmas tree. A room light
ed by an extrayagant number of can
dies has an atmosphere of activity
such as cannot otherwise be produced.
The points of light excite the sense
of enjoyment. The aspect of the room
suggests that the art of life has been
brought by it's inhabitants to a high

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF PACKING

A licensing system is the basis of
the Kendrick bill. 1t provides that all

a federal license in order to do busi-
ness in interstate commerce.
Another feature of the measure Is
intended to compel the packers to
surrender control of the stock yards
by forbidding comNon carriers to un-
load live stock at stock yard owned
in whole or in part by the packing
houses. Moreover, refrigerator cars
