GAIN HAS INTERESTING TRIP OVER STATE Relates His Experiences While Visiting the State s Various Institutions. Comments On Certain Bills Before the House. The Board of Control and other of ficials of Charitable Institutions are asking for an Increase of per capita of from $150.00 to $240.00 and for va rious other special appropriations. It was deemed expedient that a Leg islative Committee be appointed to visit these Institutions for the purpose of ascertaining their needs. I was ap pointed a member of this committee, but did not join it until It reached Louisville, after having visited the In stitution at Lakeland. From Louis ville we went to Hopklnsvllle, where, I believe, 1,400 inmates are cared for. In going through the various wards there was every evidence of absolute cleanliness, and this condition ob tained In all the institutions, which refllcts much credit on the officials. The buildings appeared to be In ex cellent repair, evidences of plenty to eat and wear were conclusive, mod ern conveniences for light, heat and water were abundant, thirty register ed tuberculin tested cows, housed In concrete, electrically lighted, steam heated dairy barn furnished milk, cream and butter, the cold storage plant was filled with dressed beef, mutton, pork, eggs, etc., etc.. the poul try department was alive with white leghorns scratching busily, several In cubators were going full blast, all kinds of flowers were blooming in an elaborate green house, a number of large hot beds were being prepared, and after our Inspection we were re galed by a meal fit for a king! Pros perity, comfort and happiness seem ed to prevail. One of the officials in formed mo that they had realied a net profit of $S,000 on hogs In the past year. Somebody's got brains at Ilopklns Tllle, somebody's using them and somebody's getting results! Returning to Frankfort we went from thence to Danville where the In stitute for the Deaf and Dumb is lo cated. After a motor trip of ten miles in two directions from the town we landed at the school. The scenes en acted there while very pathetic to one unaccustomed to such, were extreme ly interesting. One is Impressed by the efficiency of the Instructors and the brightness and decorum of the pu pils. Here we found the deaf, dumb and blind girl who bids fair to out rival the noted Helen Keller. This girl can distinguish works by plac ing her hand on the throat or back of the neck of her Instructor and for a girl of fifteen years she displays a wonderful amount of knowledge. It la said that on introduction to a cer tain man she passed her hand over his face, head and hands. After a year had passed the man presented himself, she inspected him and imme diately wrote his name without hav ing had it made known to her during the Interval. After having seen her work I do not question the truthful ness of this statement. Next came the Inspection at Lake land where we found two Inmates in "8traigM Jackets." Not a very pleas ant sight, I assure you. About 1.200 inmates are cired for here. The head of the dairy herd ai :!'.. place is a big Holsteln weighing twenty-three hundred pounds, and is valued at h)l R00. If I remember correctly. We were shown a calf two days old and were told that it had Just tipped the brsm at one hundred snd eighty lbs We did not see It wplghed. but I should have guessed it at one hun died and fifty pounds. Here we found about the same evidence of Industry prosperity and comfort that obtained at Hopklnsvllle although the buildings were not In as good condition. Returning to Frankfort we visited Its Institutions and found evidences of much needed repair and financial aid. I The Dell School T1I11 (H. H. 191) which was framed by Superintendent Gilbert and Introduced by H V. nell a prominent ex-professor and school superintendent, was reported favorab ly and is now In the Orders of the Day. Careful Investigation of this Ttlll develops some very objectionable features. An amendment is being prepared to correct same and your Representative is "On the Job" in fa vor of Its acceptance. The faults of the Bill are outlined by Supt. J. If i Meador In the county papers. House Bll 199 requires teachers and tins tees to report parents or guard inns of delinquent children to nearest court and provides for fine of $5.00 to $20.00 for each offense. Antl Shipping bills have been Intro duced In both Houses. Amendments and substitutes have been and will be offered and while It seems certain that an effective law will Anally be enacted it is Impossible to state at this time. Just whnt Its provisions will be. j House Bill 231 has been reported favorably. Its effect Is to re-apportlon State road fund providing for State to put up 75 to 25 for State aid road building in counties having less than $5,000,000 assossed property and graduating proportion as assessment increases. Breckinridge County hav ing less than $6,000,000 assessed prop erty would get 70. In other words under this proposed law, for each $1,000 of cost of work Breckinridge's County's proportion would be $300 and the State's would be $700. I am strong for the Bill. The dog tax question will be agitat ed In the House soon ror and against a Bill that provides for license of $2 on males and $4 on females and re quires that all dogs be collared and 'tagged and that they be confined from sunset to sunrise. There will be some heated discussions of this subject and one member declares he intends to sing "You'd Better Quit .Kickin' My Dawg Aroun'." in lieu of a speech. Speaking of dogs, this good town is full of them of all ages, sizes and ped igrees. I counted fourteen on one square not long since. In all my aforesaid trip through some sixteen to eighteen counties, I did not see that many sheep! Very sincerely, ROY J. CAIN. February 18. 191S.

Radium for rheunvitisrn at a price within the reach of all. That's the news which is causing a furor ol discussion among those who have been enduring the achet, pains, and twinges of this dreaded complaint. Heretofore radium treatments have been enormously etpensive. Either the sufferer had to journey to some hot springs to drink the water containing the radium emanations, or visit an in stitution known as an "Emanatorlum" where the radium treatment was taken by inhaling the gas or emanations given off from a quantity of pure radi um. But now science has learned how to imprison these radium emanations in tablet form so that they may be taken at home with menls and the user put to no inconvenience whatever. Despite the enormous first cost of pure radium, however, these tablets, each producing four mache units of genuine radium emanation, have been placed on the market at aprice no greater than that asked for ordinary rtmedies. The new treatment is controlled ex clusively by the manufacturers of Tan lac, the mo t widely known genet .-I system tonic in America. The radium tablets coutain other useful ingredients and an tffieatious medicament for ex ternal application goes with the pack age which is being introduced under the name of Tanlac Rheumatism Treat ment. If you are bothered with rheumatism go get Tanlac Rheumatism- Treatment and get a real medicine for this com plaint. The mnnufacturerers caunot guarantee that it will cure you, but they do guarantee thru if you are not satisfied with the results obtained you will get your money back without ques tion. Buv it at anv good drug store where you buy Tanlac, the famour. tonic. say, will add 150,000,000 sgfs to our food supply of chicken meat. Investigators have found that because poultry brings 2 cents a pound more in winter than in late spring, many farmers in the South have been throwing away valuable egg proBts just to get 8 cents more per hen. They be.ieve that if farmers will keep their laying hens and sell their eggs and then market the birds in the late spring they will not onlv add to the food supply but actually increase their profits 50 cents per hen. You can't eat your cake but you can poach your eggs and eat the hen later. Executrix Notice.

It should not be forgotten that the Hudson is not the first American river that had to be crossed In win ter, or that there have been other winters about as severe as this one. Bancroft's History says of Christinas night, 1776: " 'That night.' writes Thomas Rod ney, 'was as severe a night as I ever tnw'; the frost was sharp, the current difficult to stem, the Ice increasing, the wind high, and at 11 it began to snow." General Washington had made up his mind to cross the Delaware. His cargoes were not coal, but tired, cold, hungry, bleeding soldiers. He wanted them on the Jersey side of the river so that he could whip the Germans, Just as to-day coal is needed on the Manhattan side of the Hudson to con tinue the fight against other and more vicious Germans. Washington had no steamboats, steam ferries, lighters, tunnels, auto mobiles, electric lights or telephones. He had advice, and It was nearly all discouraging. He wrote to General John Cadwalader: "Notwithstanding the discouraging accounts I have received from Colonel Reed of what might be expected from the operations below, I am determined at the nlgbt It favorable, to cross the river and make the attack on Trenton in the morning. If you can do noth ing real, at least create as great di version as possible." General Gates, who seems to have had some of the official spirit of 1918, had gone to Washington, although General Washington had given per mission to him to go only to Philadel phia. Probably Gates was looking for a conference in a warm room. Washington himself had no warm room, no typewriter with which to s , Nationally Known for Economy THE reputation of the Gmtl Six as an economical car is based on actual per formance owners named it "the economical car" long before claims of economy became so general in motor car advertising. Owners average 20 miles to a gallon of gasoline and 900 miles to a gallon of oil. No six built gets better mileage from tires. The new Grant Six satisfies in every other way also. It is a strikingly beautiful car and it is roomy and easy-riding. Its overhead valve engine, its cantilever rear springs, its full-floating rear axle, the long wheelbase, the adjustable front seats, the excess capacity of cooling, oiling and electrical systems, are a few of the features in which the new Grant Six is superior to any car of comparable price. All thoughtful Americans realize the importance 0 the motor car in maintaining national efficiency. The price and the high economy of the Grant Six should make it your choice if you are buying a car this spring. Price, $1055 f.o.b. Cleveland M. HAMMAN SON & CO., :: Cloverport, Ky.
