In conversation with one of our lead ing physicians we believe what he said to us worth the spaco in The Climax. In part he said: "I do not think a person should be waked at morning, and for the reason that when a"" man falls asleep he is in the shop for repairs as the rai road men say. His frame and all his intricate machin ery is being overhauled and made ready for the next day's work. Tne wear of the previous day is being repaired. Na ture is' doing that herself. She knows what the tired frame needs just as she knows how to make the heart throb and the blood coursing through the veins. Then she takes the tired frame, lays it down on a bed, surrounds it with the re freshing air of night, covers it with soft darkness and lets the man rest. Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep, visits him, and as the hours wear by his energies are renewed, when morning breaks and the sunlight steals through the lattioe, he opens his eyes and is himself again. Or, if he is early to bed he awakes with the cock's crowing. Now, who shall go to that man's bed side an hour before he r-ijens his eyes and say to nature, 'stand aside and let him get up; he has had enough sleep.' Well,' nature will say, 'you can take him if you will, but I will charge him with an hour's loss of deep, and I'll col lect it out of his bones and his nerves and his hairs and his eyesight. You can't cheat me. I'll find a property to levy on. "A baby should sleep with its mother. A child should be sent to bed early, and be allowed to wake of ils own accord in he morning. As for school girls, many a eirl who has a dozen sludies would be better occupied chasing butterflies or training flowers or galloping A pony or dancing. I would prefer to have a daugh- er healthy, sweet-tempered, sensible and beautiful, without Latin, algebra and grammar, than to have one ever so ar advanced in her humanities with her health ruined or perhaps lying under marble urn in the cemetery; and as for man, I would rather be able to earn two dollars a day in the vigor and glory of health than to draw rents from prop erty for which 1 have exchanged the blessings of a sound constitution."

A man learns, after a while, that wo- men are no oeiter man men. out ue doesn't dare say so. Do not say to a man, "Your face is familiar, but I cannot recall your name." Every man thinks voii should be able to recall his name. Unless it is something she wants, a girl considers it improper to accept a present from a man to whom she is not engaged.. In the comment upon a recent Mis souri tragedy some stress was laid upon the fact that the husband and wife did not get alone. Buck' Kilby wants to know if that is anything unusual. With a great war in progress and an election coming on, the loafers are hav ing their best season in years.

It means a contented spirit; it means a pure heart; it means a kind, loving disposition; it means a gen erous appreciation of oihers and a mod est opinion of self. Thackery. Weep and you're called a baby; Laugh and you're called a fool; Yield and you're called a coward; Stand and you're called a mule; Smile and they'll call you silly, Frown and the'll call you gruff; Put on a frown like a millionaire . And some guy calls your blutf ! The best way to obtain the greatest amount of nourishment from eggs is to eat ihem! Sweet to the human ear is the voice of approbation; dear to the human heart is the music of approving lips. Everybody has burdens, and what we need is the spirit of helpfulness, words of encourag ment We have blamed each other long enough; now let us praise! Some men are satisfied with half a loaf and some loaf all the time! We have the widow's word for it that one husband on earth is worth two in the great beyond. It's easy enough to look pleasant, When life flows along like a breok, But the husband worth while Is the one who can stnilo -When he must stay home and be cook! Many a blacksmith has been spoiled be cause a fund mother imagined he had musical talent. All kinds of fresh vegetables. Lackey &Todd. Phone 02. 32-tf. . "Billy" Sunday Saying. Better limp all the way to Heaven than not get there at all. You don't have to look like a hedge hog to be pious. Going to church don't make anybody a Christian any more than taking a wheelbarrow into a garage makes it an automobile. The devil hates the church, but he ikes the work some high-brows do in it. If there is a Heaven for fools, the man who thinks he can gel to glory on his wife's religion will be there on a front seat. The man who don't believe in a hell about sure to be scorching to it with is both'pedals loose. A man can slip into hell .with his hands on the door-knob of Heaven. Ball bearings on thechurch doors will never fill the pews with sinners seeking salvation. Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is open ing the door and inviting him in. If you live wrong you can't die right. To discover a flaw in our make-up is a chance to get rid of it, and add a new ine of beauty to our life. God will not tend the winds to drive our ships of salvation, unless we have faith to Iff l the sails. A Healthy Sign. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, the influential Republican paper in Phila delphia, repudiates the candidacy of Boise Penrose for re-election to the Sen ate, and has decl&red in favor of the election of Jon. A. Mitchell Palmer, i he Democratic nominee. Mr. Palmer is a credit to American public life, and there ought not to be any question about his election to the Senate lie has made his record and achieved his reputation on the broad stage of the nation's public life. Every Slate in the Union is interested in the contest this able public servant is making for elec tion to the Senate. The Public Ledger said, among other thing, in a very re cent editorial: "A. Mitchell Palmer, the Democratic caandidate for United Slates Senator, is a man of high character and fine ability While he espouses economic policies to which the Public Ledger does not sub scribe, which it believe are not most con ducive to the industrial interests of the State, yet he possesses many qualities which are the antitheses of the offensive political ethics represented in Senator Penrose. "The present is the time when Pen- roseism and the corrupt political machine of which he is the incarnation should be resolutely smashed, because then the hope- of a regenerated aad reinspired Republican party will becme an exigent fact." Proclamation By Governor McCreaiy. At the last meeting of the Genera Assembly of Kentucky, I recommended that a Kentucky Illiteracy Commission be appointed and authorized to inquire into and alleviate the condition of the adult illiterates in the State, and Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chairman, Miss Ella Lewis, Dr. J. G. Crabbe and Dr. II. II. Cherry were apponted as members of the Commission. This Commission ! Coal, Feed, Lime, Cement Plastering Materials HAULING OF ALL KINDS ILo IRL IBlaimtoim Corner Main and B Streets has inaugurated a Slate campaign, Mrs. Stewart being the active leader in the efforts to stamp out illiteracy through moonlight schools and other methods. Upon their call for volunteers about one thousand teachers oifered their ser vices and are teaching or making ar rangements to teach at night, and others are daily offering their services. The chairman and leader in this great work has informed me that the Ken tucky Educational Association, the Ken tucky Press Association, the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Kentucky Society of Colonial Dames are taking much interest and are perform ing much valuable service, and that many o'her organizations in the State seem interested. The aim of the Kentucky Illiteracy Commission is noble and exalted and of the greatest benefit, and there is no subject of more importance or of more far-reaching influence than the elimina tion of illiteracy from our btate. We hould educate all our people, those under twenty-one years of age, and those upward of twenty one years of age. The perpetuity of our free institutions lepends upon the intelligence and vir- ue of the people. There are 203.0SI men and women in our tale who can not read and write. md of whose intelligent eiTor along the ines of education, religion and ge.ieral development and advancement the State is deprived, and this constitutes a de plorable sitnation and presents a great and urgent need which should be prompt ly met and relieved. Instruction should be offered to moth ers for their own sake and for the sake of their children and the benefit of the State; it should be offered tc the fathers for their own sake and for the sake of increasing their earning capacity and promoting home comforts, and for the ake of a' more intelligent exercise of the right of suffrage so as to help main tain good government for the State. In struction should be offered to the young s RYE Seed Barley All Kinds Field Seeds, Hay, Corn, Oats Staple and Fancy Groceries McRinney & 2 Phones 35 and 42 Salt, Sand Telephone 85 men and young women who have misse l opportunities earlier in life, but may yet take hold of instruction and make achievements. The instruction of all illiterates in the State will not only give to Kentucky higher rank, educationally, among the Slates, but will trive her a new and dis tinct position as the first Commonwealth which has ever atiemted to accomplish such a great and important work. I call upon all to help in the cause of education of those under twenty-one years of age and those upward of twenty one years of aire, and I appeal to every public and private teacher, every pro fessor in our high schools, colleges and universitie?. all public ollicers, every representative of the press, every pro fessional man. every farmer, mechanic and business man, and every womin who loves the blessings of education, and all who desire to promote religion, science, literature or art, or advance progress or improvement i any line, all who desire to lessen crime, to help in the great work of teaching adult illiter ates, both male and female, to read and to write and spell and encourage them to seek knowledge and add to their ac ijuirement by moonlight schools and by illuminaled school houses where educa tion is as free as the air we breathe, and where all may come to edify themselves and drink of the fountain of the water of life freely. In testimony whereof, I have caused these letters to bo made patent and the seal of the Commonwealth lo be here unto atlicd. Done at Frankfort the 21st day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and in the one hundred and twenty-third, year of the Commonwealth. James B.
