KENTUCKY IN FAIRLY GOOD
HEALTH
Healthier Than Average of it State
Louisville, Kyn Nov. 27. Kentucky
waa healthier last year than tha av
erage of tht thirty-eight states in
cluded in tht registration area of
the United States Bureau, it is showi
by a report of the Bureau made pub
lic here today by the State Board of
Health which givea Kentucky's death
rate for the year aa 10.6, while tha
average for the thirty-eight states
was 11.3, a difference of .8 in Ken
tucky's favor.
In comparison with the states ad
joining it, Kentucky also makes
good showing, only one ne'ghboring
state having a death rate lower than
Kentucky's, ono other having the
same rate, and all others having a
rata higher than this Common
wealth's. Of these states Missouri, with a
death rate of 10.3, made the beat
showing. Kentucky and Ohio, with
rates of 10.6, came next. Then, in
order, came Indiana, with a death
rate of 10.7; Weat Virginia, 10.8:
Tennessee, 11.1, and Virginia, 12-7.
West Virginia is not yet in the reg
it tration area of tht United Statea
Cer.sua Bureau, and tha figure given
for that state is ita own.
The reduction in Kentucky's death
rate from 11.8 to 10.6, or 2, ia un
der the average reduction of 1.5 af
fected by tha thirty-eight states of
ihe registration area, the report alao
shows.

from Campbell county, was
probably fatally injured tonight when
i truck by a Chesapeake and Ohio
switch engine at the Fort Thomas
station. Truesdell received a frac-tu-ed

rMisa Grace M. Smith, of the Agri
cultural Extension Department of the
International Harvester Company,
used the above chart as a starting
point for the health talk she gave.
According to Irvirg Fisher, of Yale
University, out of every 100 folks
who are 25 years old today, 36 will
be dead 40 years later, and 63 63
years of age will be dependent upon
relatives and cha-ity. Of those de
pendent 77 per cent are phyrically
unfit. Sicknesa costs over a billion
dollar annually.
We need to study health problems
and work out a health program for
oursleves, irdividually, for our homei,
and for our community. Then we
need to train our wills so that wo
can come somewhere near following
tht p-ogram that we map out for
oun elves.
II. S. Mobley, of the Agricultural
Extesion Department of the Inter
national Harvester Company, gave
the people one of tht most inrpiring
community talks we have ever had.
He said: "A community ia made of
folks, not of wealth and houses anl
factories. If we want a great com
munity, a rich prosperous town sur
rounded by fertile well-kept farms, we
must make great folks. Ard the
only wsy to make great folks is thru
education."
"If we don't grow our own fruit,
we won't have it," taid R. R. Robert
son, of tha Agricultural Extension
Department of the International Har
'ester Company. "Every farmer can
have a small orchard and take cara
of it, Wa can plant an orchard and
have fruit in a few years. The fruit
ia healthful and tha orchard makes
our farm worth more. Don't butcher
the fruit treea
pruning."

THE ANTI-LYNCHING LAW
The anti-lynching law has passed
tha House of Representatives and is

that any county in which a lynching
occurs shall be compelled to pay

punish lynche8 they may be brought
to justice in Federal Courts.

country. Less than one in six of the
people lynched are colored men said
to have astaulted white women.

Beraa CalTtga
The Conference at Lausarne haa
early como to know 'La attitude of
tht U. S. on Eastern questions. Am
bassador Childs took occasion before
any discuss on of a treaty began to
state that the U. S. would insist on
the policy of the open door in the
Near East and the equal right of all
countries to tha products of the un
developed sections. By thia is meant
arrangements must not be made that
give certain countries rights that
others d3 not have. Thia is orly a
reassert! on of tht policy advocated
by the previous administration at the
close of the war. It pertains only to
comme-cial matters. Our observing
delegates have not as yet expressed
the American desire that massacre
shall cease.
The utterances of onr distinguished
visitor from France, Clemenceau, are
causing much comment. It ia evi
dent that he had more of a purpose
in comirg to America than at first
appeared. While it is not to be ex
pected that his outspoken criticisms
will be agreed to by all, yet they will
set the American people to thinking
and the French statesman will have
a chance also to understand tha
American point of view. The point
to which Clemericeau's remarks leaiL
when he is pinned down to something
specific, is a fuller participation ia
the Confererce of Lausanne. It ia
certain that the veteran statesman
will be treated with hospitality, and
he will be given a rerpectful hearing,
as has been shown already.
The resignation of the German
Cabinet under the lead of Herr Wirth
haa been brought about by the more
radical Socialists in Germary. Pree
ident Ebert haa appointed as leader
of a new cabinet Herr Cuno, the head
of tha Hamburg Steamship Com
pany. The change In" ministry haa
not apparently endangered the exist
ence of the republic which become
more deeply entrenched in the affec
tions of the people the longer it con
tinues. The Germane have great
capacity for democratic government
and are likely to make a success ot
it when they get habituated to it,
The separation of the Caliphate, or
headship, of the Mohammedan rellf

have an important bearing on the

The new Caliph is Effendi, a relative

ment European nations have been
forced to treat Turkey with greater
consideration because they have
known that she had a great influence
over the Modem peoples of Asia and
Africa by reason of her leadership

which state and religion are separat

. Arrangements have finally been
made by which the last post-office ad

It is a recognition of China's right
ard ability to look after the a (Tain
of her alien population and ia a atep

place among nations. The U. S. has
believed in this and used her Influ
ence to that end. It ia our poll"' to
prevent foreign interference in China
aa much as porsible. This policy is
to our own advantage as well as thit
of China because it mea"s an open
