tor Suffers Blood Poisoning from
Trimming Corn Too Close.

The many local friends Of c. Pearl
Fronk, of Winchester, formerly Of this
city, popular L. & N. railroad conduc-
tor, will be sorry to learn that he is
now critically i'll at st. Elizabeth's
hospital, Cincinnati, from blood pol
soning caused from a close trimming
Of a corn.
When trimming corn a few days
ago Mr.. Fronk noticed that the corn
bled. 1t soon became infected and he
was removed to the hospital where an
amputation of the toe became neces-
sary. Within very short time the
surgeons discovered that an amputa-
ton of the foot was necessary and
Tuesday the entire foot was removed.
Word from the patient today is to the
effect that he is critically i'll and 1t
is feared that he will not recover from
the infection which seems to have pen
etrated his entire body.
While conductor on the local divi-
sion of the L. & N, Mr.. Fronk married
Miss Virginia Mason, Of this county.

a question once asked by lady, re-

beautiful society belle or the butterfly
Of fashion but the woman who reaches
middle age in complete preservation
Of health. with stalwart children by
her side"
There are Il great many women Of
middle age who owe their good health
to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.

0OIS DTOuE up III t1h otAiNSRAh~ASf VI strict observance of international and official courteses, and on account of the growth of officialdom in the coun- try, the subject has passed the in- cidental stage. The state department has given the matter deep thought. But no President in the United States has had the temerity to lay down rules for the American order, fearing mis- understanding by the public. Never theless, 1t is a presidential function. In the belief of those faced with ap- preaching complexities, circumstances, now make 1t time that the formali- ties be defined for the information of all. It is no longer compatible with comfort or with public interest they feel, to trust to luck that officials fall In line in consistent order or that no foreign representative feels sighted.
 LEGISLATION QUIESCENT
 When Vice President Coolidge re- gently sat at the cabinet table for the first time, he occupied the lone seat the end of the table opposite the President. This brough. to the office at least a connotation of understudy to the President, that of one ready to become acting President when neces- sary, although all such legislation, framed as result of the disability of w WOOQTOW w WllSOD, IS 3Qu1eSCent Tn Con gress. White House gatherings so far have not included those bringing to- gether all branches of the govern ment as we'll as the diplomatic corps But the ambition of the new adminis- tration for hospitality heralds such a function. New cabinet members are being pressed to the point of deciding upon the point of their official pro- grammes. Postmaster General Hays has intimated that he will be too pre- occupied with the postoffice tangle to devote himself to many social affairs. Others look upon entertaining as necessary and valuable diversion. One cabinet member has sent to the book shop post haste for a copy of "So- cial Usages at Washington"
 The foundation of ceremonials upon which present nebuious traditions have been based dates back to the time of President Monroe and John Quincy Adams Little has been formu- lated since then and official life has grown yearly. Until now the bureau of ceremonials has struggled to keep the peace and confer laurels as best it could. Murmurs of dissatisfaction occasionally have been heard but only in small proportion to the difficulties presented, and the interesting situa- tion has been apparent that what ever Jealousy has benn manifested b. government officials in America has had to do most with their zeal and ambition for recognition of the pres tige of the office held than with slight to the dignity of their persons.

lhISH AND GEhMANS
 On two days before the meeting there occurred two events which filled the city with varied emotions. Thurs day saw a St Patrick's parade with 30,000 marchers; a parade summed by the Irish societies favoring de Valera. and led by Lieut.. Col. Alexander E.. Anderson as chief marshal Lieuten- ant Colonel Anderson was a speaker at the pro-German mass meeting and has consequently been under fire from the American Legion.
 The other event. on Wednesday, was ono that struck deep into the hearts of New Workers. It was the service on pier in Hoboken for 1909 soldier dead. The bodies of these heroies dead, who fell in Belgium and France for the sake of the allied cause, were brought here by the trans port Somme. Among the 1,0o9 there were 252 New York men, who when last they looked on their old home town had seen it with flags flying and bands playing and the whole popula- tion lining Fifth avenue to cheer them as they marched away.

 Meanwhile another child prodigy has appeared Pamela Blanco. aged 14. came from London to eat American ice cream and display ITO of her paint ings. Experts say her work reminds them of Boticelli, Pamela says she doesn't mind that so long as the sundaes hold out.
 But in spite of posies and pictures and patriotism, it must be admitted that crime and politics still exist. Eighteen indictments so far is the harvest gathered by the Whitman probe of the municipal administration. Fifteen were against the police de- partment, two other involved that de- partment, and one accused a fire this week on charges of graft, and one was on trial for murder Whitman is busy man.
