Fire, Wind and Lightning lnsur-

THOMAS, WOODFORD & BRYAN
THIS DAY is UNIQUE

It is interesting to hear the COM
ment of intelligent foreigners upon
the observance of the annual Me-
mortal Day in the South. 1t has
been the wonder of the world among
all peoples-among other peoples
more especially than among Ameri
cans who are Immediately concerned
that two great groups of States
like those comprising the Confeder-
ate States of America and the group
left in the old United States of
America could have fought as they
did for four years and then come
together INA closer Union than ever,
forget the strife in so short time
and turn to cooperation and united
effort for international progress and
eternal protection.
The foreigner who is a visitor in
the South to-day will see a unique
thing: The observance of day set
apart for tribute to the men who
L
ago; the celebration of the victories
of the vanquished; the eulogies of
their leaders. 1t has been in the
South that on Memorial Day former
generals of the Union Army sat upon
the stage during the exercises held
under the Stars and Bars" and not
only heard the impassioned tributes
by young men who will never forget
the heroism of the men in grey, but
actually participated in the exer'
cises, paying tribute to : Southern
leaders in the war between the
States. 1t must seem strange to the
foreigner. 1t is one Of the unique
things that make America grea
! and Americans greater.

ARE HUMAN BUZZARDS PRO
TECTED?

We love the town of Paris, KY,
and her people, but we are not blind
to our faults. One of these is that
some of them talk too much. AS
we write we have in mind woman
in the prime of life. We have heard
her at her favorite diversion of
smirching regulations and blacken-
ing good names. She gloats over a
piece Of scandal as a buzzard gloats
over a piece of carrion. She seeks
the first opportunity to pass it on,
and in passing it, adds a few Shiny
detail to the unsavory morsel as her
lips drip with SANDER. She can be
found in the hours when others are
at work, as she industriously spreads
the foul contamination that soils
some woman's or mans character or
good name.
Of all the loathsome things that
crowl upon the earth these village
tale-bearers, these assassins of char
acter, these lying peddlars of Cos
sip are the meanest and the most
contemplate. We can have some
measure of forgiveness fer the old
crone who sits all day alone by her
fire, who is hungry for some one to
talk to, whose hearing has failed
and who does not repeat correctly
But when a man or woman, with NJ
excuse, goes about the community
lying and exaggerating and mis-
representing and misquoting, spread
ing discord, breeding hatred an(
distrust, estranging friends and leav
ing a path of ruined regulations
shattered hopes and broken hearts
there ought to be some way to max,
them suffer as they make Others
suffer.
We have cleaned up the town il
many ways; let us clean it up of Thu
nasty habit of gossip. We hav'
planted flowers in many places il
this good city of Paris. KY; let III
plant kind words in the 5chearts o
our friends and neighbos.
A humorous writer on one of tn,
Louisville dailies has truly written

sips on earth-if It were not for tn
women and other men,

PITROFF, MIRACLE MAN, A
GRAND OPERA HOUSE

It is seldom that an attraction
receives the great amount of space
in laudatory comment as does Pit
rolf, the Miracle Man, who, with his
wonderful mystery, saving woman
in half, will be an added attraction
at the Paris Grand, Friday and Sat-
urday, May IL and 13.
Magic-the Black Art-never
seems any blacker than when Pit
rolf, master of bewildering myst-
ries, declared that without shedding
a single drop of blood, he could cut
a person in half and put him tOgeth-
er -alive-none the worse for
experience.
A long, innocent-looking table is
placed on the stage. On this Pitroff
places a girl with her feet and head
hanging over the ends. Then with
boards in which holes are left
through, which her hands and head
and feet protrude he boxes her in, in
plain sight of the audience. Then
with a cross-cut saw he saws the
box in two sections, pushing them
, apart and walking through the
space. The girls head and part of
her body are in one section, while
her feet and the rest of the body
are in another-But go to the Grand

louisville Times)

The science of medicine is so in
timately associated with humanity
in all its phases that when a man
CONSPICUOUS for professional skill and
service in the cause of alienation of
human suffering is called by death, a
community mourns. In the passing
of DIR. Joseph Nathaniel Mccormack,
the State of Kentucky sustains a
poignant sense of loss, and members
of the medical profession throughout
the country lament the fact that a
Woodworking, progressive and intel
ligent physician has been called
from earthly duties. The well
DONE which Kentucky feelingly ut
tiers is fittingly bestowed upon a
loyal public servant.
Doctor McCormack's life is a rec
ord of Jealous battling for ideals,
and of achievements and honors
known to few, If any, of his con-
temporaries in Kentucky. Emerg-
ing from obscurity of a hamlet in
Nelson county, after boyhood of
drudgery on a farm, he graduated
with honors from the Miami Medi-
cal College at Cincinnati. His sub
sequent achievements in his profess
sion were panoramic. He was pio-
neer in the States fight against
quackery, and he framed statutes
designed to promote public health
and succeeded in getting them en-
acted into laws, not only in Ken
lucky but in many other States. He
risked his life fighting cholera in
1871, and was a hero in the fight
against yellow fever in 1878. AS
State Health officer he did valiant
service for nearly a third of CEN
fury.
Dying full of years and with re-
markable record for activity and
usefulness, Doctor Mccormack will
always be an inspiration to the
young physicians who will come
marching behind him. He had his
political quarrels, unacceptable in the
life of a public man, but emerged
from them with a clean escutcheon.
He had vision and conscience, and
his work in his particular sphere
will be a beacon light for others to
follow. 49, .--'--

nhHE GOLDEN GIRL

Ilona, the topic of so much debate, was at that moment deep'in an argu- ment with her father concerning her views on life in general, views whic h made that worthy citizen put back his head and roar several times. Funny part of it all was that Ilona had not developed any false sensitiveness where laughter even at her expense was concerned. She was a child of nature and thought it right to laugh when the spirit moves one. Her fathers mirth instead of annoying her in any way drew him closer to her
 "I do love to hear you laugh like that, father" she assured him, gayIy and I just know that you are happy about all that I have been explaining to you. Maybe you are even very glad because I tell you that I don't believe in being taught to be a lady and all that? I hope so," she finished earnestly. batting his cheek as she smiled into his eyes.

TIMELY VIEWS ON WORLD TOPICS
Woman Is Destined to Become Dom tnant in World Affairs" Says
 Professor

Woman's approaching dominance in world affairs is confidently declared by Prof. Ralph L. Power of the Uni versity of CaIifonia as a deduction in cold logic. Professor Power teaches
 business and administration in the university. The subject of woman's s future place in the social order has come up as a class theme. He says he has studied it as carefully and with as little sentiment as he would apply to any problem in business practice, and with the premises now accepted the conclusions reached by him are inevitable.
 Speaking of his reasoning and find
 ngs, he said recently:
 For a long period of years woman has been much written about, discus sed. analysed and diagnosed from ev- cry possible angle Unquestfonably she holds first place in the daily news, and there are nfany more novel move ments affecting woman than man. She is marching toward rulershfp and leadership Within the next 50 or 75 years she must become dominant; the world is so fast that it may not take so long a. time to establish her su- premacy in affairs
 "Just now her foibles, psychology, dress. yearhings, moods, adventures. reactions and all that concerns her form the subject of most magazine articles and a large proportion of newspaper stories
 'It is within comparatively recent time that women has discoEered her self and been discovered. Woman with the franchise, woman in business, woman invading all the old male lines. woman bursting the letters of tradf- ton and doing much as she likes that is the great discovery of the age
 .sThe world wants something new; it can't find anything new to say about man. But woman, by nature capric- ious and ever attractive, has carried her influence beyond the spheres of romance and the home into broaded fields. where she Is blazing trails of her own Woman talks and writes about woman, warming up to the sub feet with the prospect of winning for her kind a newer and larger place in the sun"

MORE ABOUT BALDNEss.

Last week, in discussing causes of premature badness, we were speak ing only of tests to prove the variety or dandruff, such as pressing tissue paper against the scalp to see wheth- CT 1t comes away stained with oil. Another test is to press the thumb nails upon the surface of the scalp, in many cases a drop of oil can be squeezed out, followed by a worm like flament with a yellow head. If this condition goes on for several years, even with a lavish use of tonics, washes, bay rum or such alcoholic mixtures, the oily dandruff will be- come dry dandruff. The hair will be without lustre and will begin to fall out. But even so the hair can be saved or at least improved.
 One of the first things to do Is to cover the scalp thoroughly with a sulphur lotion or ointment. The ointment Is nothing but powdered flower of sulphur mixed with oil, vase line Or any pure grease. This should be rubbed thoroughly into all parts of the scalp, either using the fingers or, if possible, an electric vibrator, which is stimulating.
 Iu severe cases the sulphur oint- nent should be rubbed on again after a few days, otherwise the scalp can be shampooed one or two days after the first application. Sulphur attacks the thick layer of dandruff, dries 1t up and leaves a healthier skin under heath. In rare cases sulphur irritates the scalp and plain oil can be used instead.
 If the hair is in very bad condition a, doctor should always be consulted.

THONfSEN'S DISEASE.

] Will you please explain to me what is Thomsen's disease so that I will know if I have it or not? Someone suggested that I had 1t.
 Answer-On1y by examination can one be certain, but you appear from your letter to have myotonia-Thom- sens disease. This affection is met with not rarely in Norway, Sweden and Germany, but rarely in America. This disease is in most cases, though
 not in all, hereditary. It existed in
 Dr. Thomsen's family for five gener-
 atfons. It begins to appear in child
 hood and the muscles of 1ocomotfon n and prehension (of the hand) are mostly involved. A child thus af-
 flicted is clumsy. It cannot perform
 the nicer movements, but after a time the spasm reIaxes and then those mo- tfons which were awkward become as perfect as those of any other child.
 After having grasped an object, the patient may be unable to relinquish his hold until some seconds after he has wiIled to do so. Cold and excite the muscles are unusually large, yet they lack the power one would expect them to exhibit. In walking the start is difficult. One leg is put forward slowly; it halts from stiffness for second or two, and then after a few steps the legs become Timber and the walking is without difficulty. The disease does appear to be of nervous origin You should consult a nerve specialist.

HENRY GAYS CONCLUSIONS

Bewildered as she was by many things going on about her, Iloua could not help being interested in the different phases of her new life. She Was at the most impressionable age, and up to the time of her return to her family had been unaccustomed to any but wanderers existence. She found herself watching and eagerly studying the every movements of ss these her own people.
 With her mother she was a wee bit shy, with her father still somewhat at sea- but with Henry Gay. the irresist- ible, quite ct home and happy. Small sboy, though he was. Henry Gay was mot slow to sense that he had been taken into his sisters heart complete ly. and it caused him to be as chummy and solicitous for her pleasures as a Henry Gay could. be.
 Mother, she's ever so much prettier than Trude. don't you think?" he con- fided to Mrs Cameron d day or so aft er Ilona's arrival. She look just as pretty in any old clothes as Truda does in her best dress. Least think .so.''

That Had No Turning" by Sir Gilbert Parker. If simplicity is more desired, two pin-wheel hair pins of jet may be more prefer able.
 For the bobbed-haired girl an adorable arrangement may be fashioned from pearls. These are made into long streamers, which fall almost to the waist from 8 fillet of tiny nauve pink roses, meeting in the center in a large, old-fashioned pearl ornament. Bracelets monopolize almost as important a place as the head dresses, and many beautiful de- signs have been the result. For instance, one of the novelties is found in beautifully cut black beads, hung on a chain of plati- mum, and completed with two very large beads at the end. Another fancy, equally attractive, is the jade bracelet with rhinestone or diamond clasp.

Irene:-Since you have so many other attractions your nose cannot spoil your appearance, as it is the feature which Is the least observed, counting mostly for it's expression of character rather than Its beauty of line.
 Bee:-1f you are serious about wanting to have hleached hair, you should have it done professionally the first time. This will pay you as you will know how to go on with it. You must continue the bleaching, going over the roots as fast as the natural color is secreted into the shaft of hair. With some people 1t requires this home bleaching two or three times each week, while others do not have to do this more than once each week. Mrs. c. T F.:-You can remove these shells from the shaft of hair by combing with a fine toothed comb which is kept wet with vinegar. If the hair is very fine 1t is sometimes necessary to lace the teeth of the comb by weaving @ strong silk thread back and forth through sections of the comb. This will lessen the space be- tween the teeth. Kerosene will de- stroy the active vermin.
