MARCHIoNEss OF AsToRGAs.

Women are supreme in their pow CT to either love or hate. The Mar chioness of Astorgas, a Spanish lady who lived in the latter part Of the seventeenth century, was so furious in her hatred for beautiful woman who was the mistress of her husband that she killed her with her own hands, cooked the heart of her vic tim and served it to her husband at the dinner table. After he had eaten it she rolled the head of the unfor- tunate victim to him on the table. After that the Marchioness sought re- fuge in a convent, where rage ana jealousy drove her insane.

NURSE GIVES
GOOD ADVICE
Trained Nurse Says That Trutona
Is a Real Medicine,
Try It.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March A.
With the exception of the doctor
there are probably none so familiar
with medicines, and therefore more
capable to judge the merits of a
preparation than the nurse. That is
why the following statement made
by Mrs. F. c. Spayner, formerly a
nurse at the city hospital here.
here, should prove especially con-
vincing to hundreds of people. Mrs.
Spanyer has taken Trutona and
knows from experience just what it
will do.
'My system was generally run
down." said Mrs. Spanyer. II had
digestion so badly that could hard
ly eat anything. My back would
ache frequently and 1 often had
headaches which would be accOmpa-
MED with dizziness. I felt tired out
all the time and could hardly do bny
housework. / tell you l was in an
awful shape.
Il was formerly emergency nurse
at the City Hospital, and ought to
medicine, when l have had expert
ence. with all kinds for years. Well,
sir, the first time / tasted TrutOna
said, There's real medicine,
alright I give Trutona credit for
making a new woman out of me, and
did it after many other midicines
had failed. l can eat heartily now
and the food digests properly. l get
up in the morning feeling fine and
able to do my housework. l hope
other people who are suffering will
take the advice of nurse who
knows and try Trutona."
.Trutona is now being introduced
and explained in Paris at G. S. Var
den & Sons drug store.

HEALTH OFFICER SAYS INFLU.
ENZA DOESN'T REPEAT.

Persons once suffering from influ-
enza are immune, according to
statements of Kentucky physicians
cited by Dr. J. N. Mccormick, Of the
State Board of Health.
DR.. Mccormick said many physi-
clans who had been making a close
study of the disease had reported
that all of their cases apparently
were new"
Men from whom these reports
have come are reliable and I will in
struct every physician in the State
to watch influenza patients closely
and make careful diagnoses in an
effort to substantiate their discov-
cries." DR.. Mccormick said.
The Board of Health reports show
that none of the sufferers from in
fluenza this year had been stricken
in any previous year when the dis
ease was prevalent.
In the reports submitted by ply
sicians from various parts of Cen
trail kentucky, Paris was credited
with thirty cases of influenza, and
one DEATH Lexington, eleven cases,
two of pneumonia, and three
deaths; Maysville, six cases, and
one death.

fused to return indictments against
Louis Hayes, Morris Hoffman and
6. b. Doxley, proprietors of moving
picture shows, for giving perform
ances at their houses on Sundays.
They were later presented in Police
court on the same charges and fined
he lowest fine permissible under
me statutes, $500 and costs.
The defendants admitted the
charges and contended that public
sentiment, in spite of the opposition
from the clergy and others, was
strongly ip favor of Sunday movies.
The proprietors declare they will
continue to operate on Sunday, with
the great common people backing
them. while the ministers say they
will get out warrants every Monday
morning for them. You pays your
money and takes your choice!

it. Twenty-Five hundred newspapers
have suspended publication since
July, 1918, but still the Postoffice
Department cries savagely for higher
rates for second-class mail matter.
They lay their deficits at the door of
the publisher, and even try shifting
some $58,0O0,000 annual loss in the
rural free delivery service to the
newspapers.
1t would be pleasure to report
that there was prospect that the
government would limit the size of
the big city papers. The excess fat

in Sunday editions consumes enough
white print paper to provide thou

But the government is not likely to
intercede, and meanwhile the big
publisers with their cinch on the
white print paper supply are the big
fish in the pond, whose greediness
has jumped the price of print paper
out of sight. Evidently the bigger

This month marks the 241st ami
versary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin. And this is a good time
to renew the acquaintance with old
Ben, who was greater even as a
moral philosopher than as states
mar.
In a period of extravaganza and
spiritual restlessness, Ben Franklin's
voice has the welcome and helpful
sound of a good parents voice to a
troubled child.
When he was still a young man.
Franklin wrote a set of principles
whereby to discipline his life. And
he kept books on himself, giving
himself a black mark whenever he
failed to 1--WE up to one Of his own
rules. He aimed to have clean
page every day.
Franklin's personal principles as
set forth in his Autobiography
were:
Resolution: Resolve to perform
what you ought; perform without
fail what you resolve.
Frugality: Make no expense but
to do good to others or yourselves.
Waste nothing.
Industry: Lose no time; be al
ways employed in something useful;
cut out all unnecessary actions.
Sincerity: Use no hurtful de-
ceit; think innocently and justly,
and, if you speak, speak accord
ingly.
Justice: Wrong none by doing
injuries or emitting the benefits
that are your duty.
Moderation: Forebear resenting
injuries as much as you think they
deserve; avoid extremes.
Tranquility: Be not disturbed at
trifles, or at accidents common or un-
|avoidable.
Humility: Initiate Jesus and
Socrates.
These make pretty good basic
principles for the reconstruction of
which so much is said and so little
done. There can be solid national
reconstruction only on strong
foundation of individual self-dis-
cipline and responsibility.
If Franklin were alive to-day he
would be a strong advocate for the
Treasury Savings Certificates, War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps
He would continue to be actuated by
thrift and patriotism.
