As cold as it has been Saturday
Sunday and Monday the thermometer
never reached zero Monday morn
ing the lowest reported was 4 above
The weather of Sunday and Mon
day was far more agreeable than
Saturday There was hardly anv
wind either days The natural gas
supply was exceedingly low Many
Complaints were made of an inability
to heat the stores and houses In
an interview in Lexington Mr Rees
of the gas company gave on the fol
x lowing statement
Word has been received here froth
the gas fields that all six of the high
pressure pumps are working con
stantly furnishing as direct to this
city but the fault with the plant is
that two of the four low pressure
pumps which furnish gas to the high
pressure pumps are not working
These have not been working for
some little time but previous to this
cold wave these two pumps have been
sufficient to furnish gas for the citys
consumption When the cold snap
came the demand on the mains was
more than the tgwv J low pressure
pumps could possibly furnish and
t consequently the supply was soon ex
+ haust d
haustedExpert Now on the Ground
There is an expert now on the
grotmd at the pumping station and he
is dojng everything that he can to get
the two low pressure pumps that are
t not now working back into service as
soon as possible If the present cold
weather lasts we will be able to han
dle the situation within a few days
and if it does not we will be all right
anyhow There will be no difficulty
experienced after this week as I
think that this will be sufficient time
to get these two pumps in working
order
The streetcar has been out of
commission since Friday Much com
p int has been made as it is felt
that the tracks could easily have
been cleared before this

NATURAL GAS
H Natural gas is all right except
when you need it mighty bad In
pleasant weather it heats beautiful
ly but in the cold weather of the
last few days it is a miserable failure
In Lexington the users of gas suf

From all sections of the country come

The jjiow which accompanied the
cold spell has been of great benefit
to the growing wheat The ground

Farmers Harvest Ice Today
It is expected that nearly every
farmer in the county will be out
bright and early this morning cut I

Best Winter For Years
The far
net is that the present winter is
one of the best if not the best for the
rowing crops that has been exper
ienced in the county during the past
thirty years Up to a recent date
the weather has been remarkably
open and mild allowing farmers the I
opportunity of doing a great deal of I
their spring work Everywhere most
jf the farmers have finished their
lowing which usually is done during
March and April They are now
about ready for spring planting when
the weather breaks for such work t
The large majority afft sanguine of

BANISH TYPHO1Dl
I FROM THE ARMY
Wholesale Vaccination Will Be Un
dertaken Not to Bej
Compulsory
Washington Feb 1 Immunization
against typhoid in army camps by
vaccination is to be undertaken by
the military authorities The whole
matter is to be frankly put before the
army acid individuals are to be in
vited to volunteer for vaccination
No soldier or officer will be compelled
to submit to antityphoid vaccination
against his will but an effort will be
made by lectures and examples tag
show the soldiers the advantage of
availing themselves of such a simple
and easy war of escaping one of tho
worst and most dreaded of army
camp diseases
These measures are to be taken af
a result of the recommendations ot
I the board of eminent physicians ap
pointed to consider measures for pre
venting typhoid fever in army camps
I It was named at the instance of Brig
adier General Robert M OReilly
I then surgeon general of the armyr
and included in its membership wera
Drs Victor C Vaughan of Ann Arbor
William T Councilman of Boston
John H Musser of Philadelphia Alex
ander Lamber of New York Simon
Flexner of New York and William S
Thayer of Baltimore
A summary of the boards conclu
sions was made public This points
out the well known fact that both
during the civil and the Spanish
American wars typhoid fever prevail
ed to a great extent among the
troops especially among the younger
men In regiments recently recruited
Old soldiers were not often affected >
and as regiments learned how to take
care of themselves the disease tend
ed to diminish
It has long been recognized says
the report that a person who has
oncelidd typhoid is practically in
sured against a second attack and
the medical profession has now found
in antityphoid vaccination a simple
and harmless way of artificially in
ducing almost the same amount of
protection It is a very simple clean
and harmless method and a mere
trifle compared to the danger to life
cr the long illness and expense of an
attack of the fever In the last few
years 15000 men have been treated
in this way with excellent effect and
without a single untoward result
LANGLEY INTRODUCES BILL

House Today Gets Measure to Pee
vent Interstate Liquor Shipments
Washington Feb 1 Representa
tive Lahgley of Kentucky today intro
duced the interstate liquor shipment
bill prepared by the AntiSaloon
League of America to obviate the ob
jection of unconstitutionality urged
against the LIttlefleld bill
The objection to the Littlefield bill
was that it made interstate shipments
of liquor subject to state laws imme
diately upon crossing the boundary
which was claimed by its opponents
to be an attempted delegation of con
gressional power and therefore un
constitutional
The new measure provides for di
rect exercise of congressional power
by itself prohibiting the shipment or
transportation of liquor to any state
territory or district of the Unite
States or part of the same where
such shipment could not legally be
made within the same It is designed
to protect both prohibition states and
dry territory within local option
