DOES NOT REPEAT

Persons once suffering from in
fluenza are immune, according to
statements of Kentucky physicians
cited by DIR. j. N. Mccormack, of the
State Board Of Health. DR.. McCor-
mack said many physicians who had
been making 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 / will instruct every
physician in the State to watch in
fluenza patients closely and make
careful diagnosis" DR.. Mccormack
said.

age with an,alcoholic content of more
than one-half of one per cent. The
amendment was defeated by a vote of
% to &c.. The amendment was bacK-
ed actively, it was stated, by John
Kloecker, formerly of the Wiede-
man Brewery, but now one of the
owners of the Lexington Brewery.
The. vote it received is evidence of
the fact that the liquor snake in Ken
lucky is not killed yet, but only
scotched and that there remains lot
of work to be done in the State
by the drys if they are to keep the
advantage they have had since Janu-
airy 16, before which time there was
not in Kentucky any pretenses of
preventing the sale of liquor to those
able to buy it.
The bill passed by vote of 81 to
6. Senators Brandsteter, Burton,
Metzger, Early, Perry and Simmons
voted against the bill. Senator Baker
was not present.
1t is said to be improbable now
that any bill providing for the re-
moval of officials for failure to en-
force the laws will be passed at this
session, some of the legislators who
favor drastic action in cases of that
kind asserting that there is now
ample law for the removal of any Of
vcial who fails or refuses to enforce
the law, through indictment by a
grand jury and trial in the Circuit
Courts, and that no law could be
passed which would be upheld by the
Court of Appeals, unless it provided
that no official could be removed un-
less he had been found guilty by a
jury of failing or refusing to uphold
the laws. limitations were given by
prominent Kentuckians, who believe
the time has come to enforce the
laws that private citizens would be
found to aid in the work of compel
ing the enforcement of all laws by
city, county and state officials whose
duty it is to enforce them.

BEckHAM HEADS THE
POST COMMITTEE

As a result of the death of Senator
Bankhead, Of Alabama, Senator J. C.
W. Beckham, of Kentucky, becomes
ranking minority member of the com
mittee on postoffices and post roads.
This committee is one Of the most
important of the Senate, as it has to
do not only with the postal depart
.ment, but with measures in connec-
ton wit hthe good roads movement,
as the Federal Aid project is part
Of the postal service.

With but few changes and none of
these of vital Importance to the eff
fsctivsnsss of the measure, the liquor
law enforcement bill last week passed
the Senate and on concurrence by
the House in the amendments, goes to
the Governor for his signature.
As it passed the Senate the drastic
fine and Jail sentence for first and
second offenses are retained, as well
as the penitentiary sentence for per-
sistent violators, the only thing, in
the opinion Of the officers of the
Statewide Prohibition Federation,
which has backed the legislation from
the start, that will bring about any
real enforcement of the law.
With the enactment of another
measure to prevent moonshining and
providing q penalty that will be dis
coursging to those who have per-
sisted in "turnin' their own corn into
red hcker," it is likely that, for the
first time in her history, Kentucky
will be rid within the next few months
of the curse of whiskey.
James H. Combs, federal prohibi-
ton officer for Kentucky, and his
staff, continue to catch law violators
in the cities, where officials are in
sympathy with this portion of the
criminal element, and the need of laws
providing for the removal. Of such Of
vcials is emphasized by the success
of Mr.. Combs and his men in ferret
ing out such cases.
One of the surprises Of the past
week was the large vote given in the

THE NEW POLICY OF THE CHINO.

The world do move" Santa Fe dispatch
announces that 1.-The Chino Copper company has
made public its report for the quarter ending Sep
tember 80"
1t is useless to speculate concerning the motive
for change of policy from that of the utmost
secrecy possible. to public announcement of the
facts. Whatever the motive it will tend to pro-
duce a better feeling toward Chino in the state
and aid in according that company fair treatment
in taxation, if the company continues such a
policy of publicity.
The cynical may attribute the new departure
to the fact that this year is the worst in the his
tory of Chino, due to very bad market In the
quarter just announced the profits were less than
one-half cent per pound of copper produced The
showing made is depressing and many attribute
the announcement to the belief of Chino that the
poor earnings will help in their fight to keep taxes
down.
We disposed to attribute the announcement
to decision on the part of the Chino officials
that utmost frankness with the public will insure
justice. We believe such course, accompanied
by no effort to unduly influence the legislature
will produce the best results for all concerned
1t is necessary, however, for the public to have
more data than contained in the report for this
quarter. We ask Chino to furnish the informa-
ton by quarters from January l. 1916. We will
give the facts to the public in perfectly fair way.
We want the mines to pay their just share of
the taXes-no more and less. We ask them
to exert only legitimate amount of influence to
protect themselves against discrimination. We in
sist that the public and its representatives be al
lowed to decide what is fair.
If the mines will adopt this policy the Journal
will meet them more than half way and will fight
for them against anything which unbiased experts
will say is unfair
However if further effort is made to again
maintain secret and overwhelming lobby in Santa
Fe this winter the Journal will attempt to offset
the pressure of such lobby with every possible
assault upon it.
If the mine operators will allow "unstacked
deck to be dealt" and will lay their cards face
up the table they depend absolutely upon
the Journal fighting against any injustice to them
We take this occasion to again invite the mine
owners to the columns OF the Journal in pre-
senng their side of the present tax discussion to
the public. We guarantee them fair treatment at
our hands.
The day Of secrecy in these matters is over. |
rhe whole question should be threshed AMIGA
bly, and in the open. If the problem is undertaken
IN that spirit, justice to everybody will come out
IF it. ....,.. ....
Will the mine owners reciprocate this spirit?

To Remove Old Wax: An old wax

benzol or with one of the many
solvents on the market for this
purpose.
To Remove Stains on Wood
Floors: Oxalic acid will remove
stains, but it should be remem-
bered that this is a deadly poison
and must be used with care. After
using this acid one should wash
the floor thoroughly with weak
ammonia water to neutralize the
acid.
To Clean Old Varnish Which iG
