THE TRUTH.

The board of public works, of Louis
Vile, will soon be called upon to let con
tracts for a million brick TO be used in
street paving and also several million to
be used in the construction OF the water
works reservoir. II the board embraced
in its membership men who were &C
tuated by patriotic desire to build up
the industries OF Kentucky, they would
see to it that the Cloverport brick plants
be given a chance TO bid and secure the
contracts. This would give employment
10 three or four hundred skilled work
men in Cloverport, and large portion
Of the money thus distributed would find
its way back TO Louisville through the
wholesale houses that supply our mer-
chants with their stocks OF goods. II
would also recuperate Louisville capt.
talists for the loss sustained by the
plants remaining idle, as they are owned
principally by Louisville men.
The vampire politicians who control
the affairs OF Louisville, have done more
TO kill the industrial plants in this sec
ton than any other agency, and so long
as they are in power honest competition
is out OF the question.
Some day. when municipal officers be-
come virtuous and the political millen'
ium is on, we can expect justice and
reciprocity from Louisville, but in these
days when Linn simons is bigger than
competition, we can expect nothing bat
stones when we ask for bread.

name applied to a arrangement OF

vaguely understood. 1t may mean
inability to retain food or to digest
it. It may mean nausea, pain after
eating, fullness, inordinate craving
for food, or entire lack of appetite.
Whatever It means, there's trouble,
and it's with the stomach. If you
