DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
For Lexington People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney trouble
is that they so often get a firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health will be gradually undermined.
Bachache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's
disease may follow as the kidneys
get worse. Don't neglect your kid
neys. Help the kidneys with Doan's
Kidney Pills, which are 80 strongly
recommended right here in Lexing-
ton.

TO SPEND $500, OO0. 90 AT
HOLLOW ROCK JUNCTION.
by W. p, Hoffman, Banner Staff
Correspondent


Trenton, Tenn, June eff plans
now under way by the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railway are
carried out Hollow Rock Junction is
to pass from the lists Of Jerk Water
crossings into a category of fair-sized
towns Of Tennessee. In other words,
where only a lunch stand accommo-
dates the meary traveller, there is TO
be a sixty-room hotel, and where only
weed fields greet the travellers eye
there is to spring up a town of no
small proportions. From information
secured by a Banner reporter who re-
Gently visited the junction, the rail-
road has laid off sixty half-acre
tracts and has sold them to railroad
men, all but four having been pur-
chased already. 3,
The plans are to make Hollow Rock
Junction the "home terminal" for
both the Nashville and the Paducah
and Memphis divisions of the COM,
pany, and to establish shops and o
roundhouse for caring for the en-
gines which will run out of the june
ton in four directions. According to
this information the company is soon
to begin the erection of these build
ings, the necessary trackage and the
construction Of a $50, 900 office
building to house the superintendent
of these two divisions and their office
forces. 80 ~
The story goes that the railroad is
preparing to expend over 5000, goo in
these improvements and that the
shops at Lexington will be moved to
the junction, and probably those from
Paducah.
The plan by which the railroad
trainmen are taking lots is upon the
agreement to pay $3.50 for the half
acre and the company is to erect any
sort of home they desire for S 2,500 on
up, and the purchaser to pay the
company in the sum of $25 each
month, only a $25 payment being re-
CURED at the time the lot is taken. 1t
is also optional with the men wheth-
er the company builds the home or
an outside contractor.
The new hotel will be operated by
an experienced hotel man from Lex
ington, who is said to have secured
the site within the past few days. The
contemplated changes will necessitate
the removal of many trainmen from
Nashville, from Lexington and Padu-
cab, and incidentally the transfer of
the offices Of Supt. w. G.. Temple
ton, of the Nashville division and
Supt. w. j. Hills, from Paducah. The
former is said to have already ar
ranged for the erection Of his new
nome at the Junction. With the new
plans contemplated, Hollow Rock
Junction promises to become a live
railroad center.

SABBATH AND

 The Chairman That is, from pri- vate property?
 MT. Riggs. That is from private property. I mean the federal taxes levied in Alaska are the greatest of any in the United States.
 The Chairman. We'll, that is inter- esting, governor.

INCLUDE ALASKA lNNEW BILLF0R
 AID0FROADS

CopleS Ol tHe DlII apprOpflatlng $100, 100000 per annum for the next four years to aid in the construction of rural post roads under the act of July II, 1916, show that for the first time Alaska is included for her share of the money and aid. The bill was introduced by Senator Chamberlain, and Alaska was included in the meas ure at the instance of Delegate George B. Grigsby and Governor Thomas Ngss, Jr. Governor Riggs has ap- half of Alaska's right to be included in the measure.
 While the Chamberlain bill appro- priates s1OO,OOO,o0O annually for four years, each years appropriation is to be available for two years after the end of that year, which would allow until June 30, 1927, in which to expend the total sum of s4OO,O00,O0O.
 The amount allowed to Alaska for roads is $75O,000 a year. While the law under which the appropriation is made contemplates state and terri torial aid, Senator Chamberlain pro- vides that in those states and terri tories where 10 per cent or more of the lands of the state or territory are unpatented lands, owned by the United States, and without the boundaries of fofest reserves, the secretary of agri- culture may make regulations that will require less of state and territorial aid than the laws now require.
 This appropriation of $750,O00 for Alaska roads is in addition to the road funds derived from the proceeds of national forests, those expended un- der the Alaska board of road commis- sioners and other Alaska road funds
 Governor Riggs Speaks for Alaska
 This bill was introduced February 27. On February IA Governor Riggs appeared before the committee on postoffces and post roads and offered the following statement in behalf of consideration of Alaska in connection with appropriations for these roads:
 MT. Riggs. I am merely asking con- sideration, Mr. Chairman, for Alaska, of the enactment of public roads acts, and if possible to extend the present acts to us, pending the enactment of Alaska can not participate in the ap- propriation made by congress for fed eral aid and on roads. We desire to cooperate; we are not asking that you give us roads, but let us cooperate so we can have roads. We need them for the development of a country which is of vast value to the United States. We are cooperating to a cer- tain extent in the various roads un- der Section of the federal roads act. Otherwise we have no Oppor- tunity, although we are desirous of doing so in our limited capacity. We have but little taxing power. There is very little property vested in pri- vate ownership. Ninety-fve and five. tenths is government-owned, 34,O00 square miles in forest reservations and so we feel that we are not ask ing too much, MT. Chairman, in ask ing you to allow the territory to stand as a state does We are not even ask >ing that the government shall pay in proportion to lands owned, but to merely give us the same consideration, ave can build roads and develop our country.

HE,IIGOL.AND FORT
HARD TO WRECK

London, Sept MANY interesting
details OF the demolition of the for
tresses on Heligofand are furnished
by a special correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph who made a trip to
the Island He1isDiand had been
transformed by the Germans into
something very Ike stationary ship
of war.
From one end to the other the
island which is little moro than a
mile long and only about one-fifth
OF a. square mile in area, was tun-
neIled and honeycombed with sub
terranean chambers. In these were
accommodations for every one and
everything needed to fight the. fortress
Apartments for officers and men,
hospitals, engine rooms and store
houses. If the island had been in a
serious action, not single man need
have shown himself in the light of
day
Three years is the German estimate
of the time required to dismantle the
fortress completely, and apparently
the Entente has accepted the estimate
as reasonable. The shortage of
special apparatus and the need of
caution in the use of high explosives
are the retarding factors in the de-
rnoIfeion.
Although something like 1 900 tons
of steel works must be picked to
pieces, this task is easy when COM
pared to the tremendous work Of
breaking up the concrete. OF this
substance, which is reinforced with
iron rods as big as a mans finger
the tunnels and pits on the island
contain LAG, 900 cubic yards, while a
further 100000 cubic yards were
used in the construction of the war
harbor, quays and other work on
the beach level.
In the dissection of the guns and
armor plates, a new oxyhydrogen
process lis being employed. 1t is a
German invention and was first put
into practice only few months ago.
The fame by which the cutting is
done is so hot that 1t bites it's way
through to the center of the breach
of a twelve-inch gun in about q min
ute.
By this process the arnor pla ties of
the turrets and cupolas on Hehgo-
land are being cut UP into practical
BILE sections and the guns into lengths
of three or four feet each. With
steel at its present price, the debris
will realize a large sum, although the
cost Of transportation to the main
, land Will be heavy
