Health SerNlCe
 Tn 1912, at the request of the Kentucky state board of health. and under instructions from th" surgeon general of the United States public health service. an Of fcer Of this bureau proceeded 10 Kentucky for the purpose of de- termining the prevalence Of tra- chon1a in that state,
 A survey was subsequently made In o3 counties, g total of over l8,- 900 persons examined and over 1900. that Is between 7, and per cent, were found to have tracho- ma.
 The type os trachoma found l here vas very severe and its mu- tilating effects were much In evi- dence. Numbers of people had been blinded by this disease. As one Of the old residents expressed t, "You couldn't throw a stone In any direction without hitting sore eyes"
 Established Hospital In 1913, in COG operation with the ] Kentucky state board of health, | the public service service estab- lished a hospital In the county seat of Knott county. An eye specialist was placed In charge assisted by two trained nurses and other nec- essary aids and the problem Of cradicating trachoma was under taken. This campaign against tra- choma has been carried on in Ken lucky down 10 the present time. . The records show that TAO tracho- ma patients. residents Of Knott | county, were treated at the r. s. Public Health Service Trscoma hospital during the years 1918 to 1922 inclusive.
 The sane officer, who went over tho ground in 1912. recently made another survey Of his region. He found that ont Of those who had been found infected with trachoma in 1912, sS per cent were known to have been completely cured o' the disease and only 35 per cen still remained in doubt
 Cases Listed
 All those cases were placed or the doub'tul list which the county health officer was unable 10 deter. mine from 4 personal examination as to whether a cure had or had not been effected.
 Heads Of families who for year. had been unable fo earn a Twins and mothers unable to care fo' their children have been rcstorc( 10 usefulness and society. In brief t can be said that one ot the wors trachoma regions in this countr, has been practically cleared of in disease within d period of les than 1o years.

 Nanny Meadow Mouse nearly died of fright, Anyway, she thought she did, which l suppose amounts 10 the same thing. First, Peter Rab- bit had raced past her; then, almost as Peters heels Reddy Fox had raced past; and so close had he passed that his big, bushy tail had almost touched Nanny. It was all over in an instant. It was all over almost before Nanny realized what had happened. When she did real ize that Reddy Fox had passed 50 close to her without discovering her she gave just the tiniest sigh of thankfulness. Then, as she re- covered from her fright she once more thought of Peter Rabbit,

 Jimmy, coming from church, sees two men in an automobile follow ing girl. They try 10 "pick her up" and she looks nppealingly at Jimmy, who hits one O. the men in tho mouth.

 CHATTER VIII
 The man went down in a heap under 'hc impact Of Jimmys fist, pumping into his advancing com panion as he fell. He clapped his hand to his mouth and brought it away rcddcned with blood. His trim little moustache was triflc awry as he twisted his mouth 10 spit. Jimmy stood menacingly. waiting { for the other one. lt was quite evil dent that he had only one 10 deal with now. The man on the pavement seemed to have had all the fight knocked out of him.
 The man who had been driving darted a swift glance at Jimmy and then at his fallen companion. 1T he had been drunk, he was suddenly sober again.
 He dropped his fists 10 his sides and bent bent over Jimmy's victim. helping him 10 his feet. The he half dragged him into the automobile took his seat behind the wheel and drove off.
 Jimmy had quite forgotten the girl. When he turned and found her behind him he half started in sur prise.

 "I understood as soon as you spoke. It was quite fine of you. T. I thank you" She looked at him., straight into his eyes, and held out her hand.
 So many girls, he thought. would have been all nervous and aflutter, perhaps crying. He had never before filled the role of the gallant knight dashing 10 T ady's rescue, The thought that he had been playing q story-book role amused him, and he smiled, half to himself, as he put out his hand to take hers.
 He saw his knnckles were bloody and hastily withdrew it and took her proffered hand in his left. His action. however, did not escape her,
 "You've hurt your hand" she cried. There was concern in her voice.
 Jimmy fished his handkerchief out of his coat pocket and applied it to the injured knuckles. One of them was bleeding quite freely; if had landed on his opponents teeth.

Guard Against Flu"
 With Musterole

Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with cold. The moment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole.
 Musterole is a counter-irritant that relieves congestion (which is what a cold reallyis) and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old-lashioned mustard plaster without the blister.
 Just rub it on with your finger-tips. First you will feel warm jingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief.
 Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness. To Mothers: Musterole is also mad de in milder form for babies and sr1aIi children. Ask for Children's Musterole. , 3Jc and 6oc, in jars
