after which George J.. West was intro
duced as a man who had promised to give
"A HUI dred loaves OF bread a day to the

Kentucky the state OF Congressmen.
Surely it would seem to be glory suf-
fcient for one State to be known the
width of the world as producing the
finest thoroughbreds, pretty women
and old bourbon, but there is another
leaf in Kentucky's laurel. Although
the statement is made without any
deep comparative examination, it GER
tainIy appears, off hand, that she has
furnished more material out of which
other States made Congress smen than
any other commonwealth in the Union.
1t Is positively surprising. Both Gull
lom and Palmer of Illinois were born
in her blue grass meadow. Call OF
Florida and Vest OF Missouri were born
there, and Senator Mills claims the
dark and bloody ground as his native
heath. Scott County alone was the
birthplace of four members of the
present Congress. They are Senator
Palmer and Representative Hatch OF
Missouri, johnson OF Ohio and Black
of Georgia. Such coincidence would
not occur. again in a hundred years.

The Virtues of ButterIniIk.

Concerning the remedial value of
buttermilk, the Medical Adviser saws
that it is of SO much worth that it has
gained a distinct place in the @materia
medical" and is largely prescribed by
the best physicians for chest and lung
ailments and in most forms of kidney
troubles. An exclusive buttermilk
diet has seemed to bring about a cure
in many cases of Bright's disease A
proper and constant use of it will
greatly reduce the cravings for alco-
holic liquors, with which many per-
sons are afflicted. The craving may
be satisfied and the system benefited
and strengthened instead of weakened.
Buttermilk alone will often remedy
acidity of the stomach. The Tactic
acid needed in many cases is supplied
by it much more than by any other
drink or food. 1t is said to alleviate
the depression about the heart that so
many old people suffer from, and it
should be constantly drunk by them.
1t is also to a certain extent stimu-
liant for the entire system, just what
the aged need.

1t Breeds Profiigacy and There Should Be a
Crusade Against 1t.
"a Congress to Abolish the Small
Change Pocket would be an appropri-
ate way in which to wind up the series
OF meetings under President Bonney.p
remarked sad-eyed man at Chicago.
There Is nothing in the world that
tends more in the direction of profit
gate expenditures. The Sherman law
has had the major part OF the burden
OF hard times laid upon its shoulders,
but no greater evil to the prosperity
and financial well-doing of humanity
exists to-day than the little receptacle
on the right-hand side of mans coat,
whore the stray nickels, dimes, quar-
ters, and halves find their way when o
large bill is changed. From the mo-
ment the coins drop into the pocket
they might as well be charged up to
dead loss, for the owner loses their
identity right then and there, so far as
value is concerned 1t is so easy, when
passing along through the streets, in
the shops, or the many places where
there are opportunities to spend money
in little driblets, to dip into this pocket,
and it is cleaned out before one has any
notion of it. To the change-pocket also
lay the blame to a considerable extent
of the increase in the drink habit.
Many a man has INDUCED himself in Q

price SO handy, whereas had he kept il
in a purse he might have thought
twice before drinking. l might go on
enumerating the evils growing out OF
the small-change pocket system, but ]

time has arrived to take up the cudgel
