Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss Of appetite, and
II you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as
to give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then II
you eat no more than you crave and
take a reasonable amount OF outdoor
exercise every day you will not need
to worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose

GERMAN BARON
WINS WILL SUIT

Judge Davis w. Edwards in an
opinion handed down yesterday sus-
tanned a demurrer TO petition filed
by Garnett ID. Ripley and William r.
Drake, of New York, to recover
property in Louisville and Jefferson
County, valued at approximately ST.
100000 which was bequeathed to
Waldemar Conrad Won Zedtwitz by
his mother, Mrs. Mary Eliza Bird
Caldwell Won Zedtwitz, who, at the
tins of her death in December, 1910,
was the widow of Count Won Zedtwitz,
of Germany.
In his opinion Judge Edwards
stated that under the common law
of the state of Kentucky a nonresi-
dent alien has the right to inherit
property in this state.
Under the provisions of the will
the property located near the eastern
limits of Louisville (537 acres OF
land) including thirtesn lots in Louis
vile, was given to the United States
Trust Company, New York, to be
held in trust for the benefit Of the
son until h reached the age OF 80, at
which time It was to be turned over
to him.
Mr.. Ripley, Mr.. Drake, Carter w.
Wormsley and Spootswood b. Hall,
who claim to be next heirs to the es-
tate filed suit contesting the right
of the son to the estate, claiming that
the young Baron Won Zedtwitz was
debarred from his share in the es-
tate. because he was an alien enemy.
The young baron is a resident of Ber-
lin and during the war fought in the
Prussian army.
The treaty between the United
States and Prussia, ratified about 100
years ago, was cited, 1t being claim
ed that under the provisions of this
treaty the young baron was debarred
from inheriting the property. Judge
Edwards quoted, however, that there
is assured to a citizen of each coun-
try reasonable time to dispose OF
property willed to them in the 9TH
err. The defendants in counter-ac-
tion asserted that nonresident alien
has the right to take property by de-
wise and can hold it until II is es-
cheated TO the commonwealth, and
that only the commonws alth can take
such action. II was further con-
tended that the property was not held
by an alien and that a reasonable
time for its disposal had not elapsed.
Judge Edwards cites six statutes
in support and that from the laws
recited holds that Waldemar Conrad
Won Zedtwitz is entitled to his share
of the estate. The young heir is now
rs years of age.

SUMMER ALFALFA SEEDING
BEST DONE AUG. 10 TO 20

Lexington, Ky, July S.-Under ia
vorable moisture conditions the sum-
mer seeding of alfalfa is best done
in Kentucky from August 10 to 20,
according to George Roberts, head of
the agronomy department of the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. When seeded at that time
of the year, the crop usually follows
wheat, oats, rye, early potatoes or
any other crop that comes off early.
Farmers who expect to seed alfalfa
this summer should prepare the

ground for It as early as possible, Mr.
Robert says.
The ground should be broken six
or seven inches dep and worked
down to a well-pulverized, firm con-
dition. Il usually Is a good plan to
precede the breaking by disking. At
this time of the year It is also usual
ly advisable to drag or harrow each
days breaking in order to pulverize
the clods before they dry out. The
soil should be narrowed after rains in
order to conserve moisture. 1t also
is desirable to harrow whenever
young weeds or grasses appear since
alfalfa does not thrive in their pres
ence.
IF the ground is to be lined it is
a good plan to put the material on as
soon as the ground is broken so that
subsequent preparation will help dis
tribute it thru the soil. Unless the
sell is known to be naturally supplied
with lime, this material should he ap-
piled at the rate of three or four tons
of ground limestone an are or
one-half this amount of burned lime.
In all parts of the State outside of
thu central bluegrass region it is de-
sirable to apply from four to five
hundred pounds of acid phosphate
an acre. This may be done any time
after the limestone is applied and
previous to seeding and should be
narrowed into the soil.

Lexington, Ky, July S.-Ksntucky
this year will produce more than co.
600 bushels of seed wheat from the

An inspection of 90 fields Of Ash
land scattered throughout the State

mately 100 other fields of wheat
from this strain are being grown in

As an average for seven years, Ash

HOW RAILROADS
MONEY is SPENT

The amount of taxes paid by the
Illinois Central System in 1921 ex-
ceeds ed by more than 23 per cent the
amount of dividends which the road
paid to its stockholders.
This is one of number Of valua-
BILE points brought out in a state
ment recently made by President c.
II. Markham giving the receipts and
expenditures of the Illinois Central
System in terms of the cents which
make up a dollar. The railroad spent
5.54 cents Of each dollar received for
taxes, while dividends took 4.4S cents
of the dollar.
II is sometimes said that the sala-
ries paid railway officers are respon-
sible for high freight rate and law
wages Of railway employees. 1t is in
teresting to note that the taxes paid
by the Illinois Central System last
year were more than twenty-nine
times as great as the amount of sal
aries paid to general officers. The
pay of general officers required only
10 Of l cent.
The operation OF trains, stations
and switching services, including
both wages and material, took $3.50
cents OF the railway dollar. Nearly SO
per cent of this amount went to
wages. The cost of maintaining
equipment and facilities amounted to
"a SO Gems. In the cost of MAINTAIN
ing equipment wages amounted to 81
and 2-3 per cent, and in the cost of
maintaining roadbed, buildings, and
other structures, wages amount TO
.54.7 per cent.
Thd statement shows that the rail-
road received I'LL cents of its dol
lar from the transportation of freight
and 1928 cents from the transport
tation of passengers. 1t handled A.
637 ,466 tons of freight an average
distance of 27O.46 miles at an aver
age revenue per ton per mile OF
LOIS cents. The number of passen-
gers transported was 37,027,SS9, the
average distance was 1925 miles, and
the average revenue per passenger
was 3,104 cents per mile.
Other sources Of incomes, and the
number of cents of the dollar receiv-
ed from each, we're: Transportation
of mail, 1.69; transportation of ex-
press 1853; demurrage. storage and
special freight service, 0.49; switch
ing service. O.S5; parlor cars, ex-
cess baggage and other special pas
senger service, 0.56; hotel, restau-
rant, dining and buffet service, 0.5S;
station and train privileges, etc. O.S2;
rents of equipment, road, buildings
and other property, joint facilities,
and miscellaneous income, 2.79; in
come corporate investments, $50.
Thu statement shows that, while ii
cost the railroad so of l cent out
of each dollar to operate its dining
service, the revenues from the sar-
vice amounted to only SIS of l cent
resulting in loss of .04 of l cent.
A statement such as this serves to
emphasize the fact that a railroad
has no inexhaustable supply of funds
upon which to draw to meet it's ex-
pense budget. 1t gets a dollar, and
it spends it, When taxes amount
to 5.54 cents of each dollar, it re-
quires nearly one-third of all the rev.
enue received from handling mora
than $1,000, 900 passengers to pay it.
