Enlistment of a fish hatchery at
Pineville on land given the Game
and Fish Commission by Judge T. j..
Asher, convenient sources of supply

DR.. r. S. futile, executive agent
of the Commission. who has Just re-
turned from Pineville, said the site,
containing four aces, is ideal.
DR.. Tuttle will establish a camp

the work of SEEMING and removing
fish from the overflow ponds will
continue until ice forms.
Reports indicate that game birds
are more plentiful than in recent
years. The dry summer saved the
young. Next spring 5000 Mexican

RADICM PIT CALLED
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Chicago. Oct. IL. How radium.
administered internally, could pro-
long human life and make old age
almost delight was described today
by DR.. Stillman Bailey, addressing a
National meeting of the therapeut-
lists at the LaSalle Hotel.
DR.. Bailey told of the renewed
youth of the men working i'm the
radium mines of Colorado and their
immunity of prevalent diseases. He
attributed this to their drinking wat
or charged with radium.
THE rays caught in sugar of milk
and made up into tablets and taken
internally" he said. seen to work
miracles. One OF the principal
causes of old age is hardening of the
arteries due to increased blood
pressure. This the radum tablets
prevent. Acute pains disappear az
if by magic. faded appetites become
keen again. Red blood corpuscles
have increased by 100000 within
forty-eight hours"
DR.. Bailey also exhibited photo
graphs of plants whose growth had
been stimulated by radium.

BATTLE FOUGHT WITH
SINNERS IN NELSON COUNTY

Louisville, Oct. IL. One alleged
moonshiner was slain, two officers
were wounded and cabin and still
we're destroyed by flames during two
raids by federal prohibition agents
last night and this morning near
High Grove, Nelson county.
Seven prisoners were brought by
the officers to Louisville. Two are
alleged to have participated in the
ambush, three were intercepted
while hauling whisky i'm two auto
mobiles, and two were arrested in a
hotel at Mt. Washington for alleged
connection with prohibition law vio-
lation.
Beyond Mt. Washington they first
came ur on two automobiles con-
tanning five persons and more than
fifty gallons of whisky. The occu-
pants were arrested. They were E.
l.. Green. A. Springfield; Will Green
Bardstown: Ola Livers, 81, Louis
vile; w. G. Green. IS, and Miss Liv-
ers. The latter two were released
when brought to Louisville. These
people said they were en- route from
Bardstown to Louisville, and denied
any knowledge OF the shootings.
Further on the officers came up
on two alleged moonshiners. in the
taxicab of Chief Blackburn, they
having forced the chauffeur at the
point of a revolver, to drive them.
Although the men were heavily arm
ed. they obeyed the commands to
surrender. One was said to be a
brother of the slain moonshiner.
They had commandeered the ma
chine to scout the neighborhood.
What was said to be a deliberate
trap was set to snare the raiders, as
was shown by the fact that after the
first battle fires were made on the
road and at other points so that the
approach of revenue men could be
seen. According to reports. the
moonshiners, expecting return Of
the raiders before daylight, had plot
ted to ambush the revenue officers
by the light of the burning cabin.
