THE OLD KENTUCKY SMILE.

The colonel sat in mood distract
And eyed his empty glass.
Mused he: when from the dear od
How slow the moments passl
How all the pageantry of war
Fail ever to beguile
The homesick mind that flies afar
And seeks vanished smile.
Fair skies may smile, and seas maj
Between my home and me;
Yet shall that longing weight my soul
Until that soul is free.
Beside my way the mem'ry steals
Thro' all the dreary while
All, sad the fate of him that feels
Such longing for a smile;
1.-THE rich red liquor sparkles fair.
1t hath wondrous bead
But tho certain warmth Is there
1t doth not fill my need;
And tho l wander on, and on,
No other drinks beguile
Ny fancy from the joys I've known
That old Kentucky smile

WILL IT BECOME POPULAR !?
How Do You Like This New Fad?

Vegetarians, anti-coffee drinkers and food cranks of every description must now take a back seat, for a new fad has the floor.
 society has recently been formed, the members of which pledge themselves to eat no food whatever that has been cooked. They claim that uncooked food Is the only rational healthful diet; that our remote an- cestors ate no cooked food, and therefore if we do the same, vigor and health will be our reward.
 Raw meat, raw potatoes, raw wheat, raw eggs, raw everything, is the enticing bill of fare held out to the enthusiastic food crank of the future, and the society proposes to establish restaurants in the larger cities where this delightful menu may be served daily.
 Modern cooking is often dyspepsia pro ducer, because we fry so many foods which should be baked. roasted, broiled or boiled. Fried food is indigestible because each par ticle of food is encased in hot grease, which the digestive juices of the stomach cannot easily penetrate. But properly-cooked food is more easily digested than the same food uncooked, andSwe predict for the new fad a very limited following.
 The real cause of indigestion Is the lack of hydrochlorc acid and peptones In the stomach so that no matter how well cooked the food. it cannot be well digested unless the gastric juice is abundant and contain the necessary amount OI peplOneS tO ulS- solve the food.
 Therefore the most sensible cure for poo- digestion is to take after each meal some safe and reliable digestive, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which supply peptones to digest the meat and eggs and diastase to digest the bread, potatoes and similar starchy foods.
 Laxative medicines never cure indiges- ton because they have no digestive effect whatever upon the food. On the other hand if the food is properly digested there will be no need of axatives: good digestion does away with constipation.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pure aseptic pepsin (government tesD dlastase and the digestive elements which weak stomachs lack and they cure indigestion by assisting the overworked. ruEflowul stomach in its hard work until 1t is re stored to it's normal condition, when the tablets are no longer needed. But there are thousands of robust men and women who never eat meal without taking one or two of Stuart's Tablets, because by so do- ing they can eat what they please and when they please and be free from any bad after effects
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists everywhere in the United States Canada and Great Britain

THE EQUALITY"
 OF CIRCULATION A Well Known "Ad" Man Ex- presses Some Pertinent
 Views on the Subject

Gerald Pierce of the Chicago Times-Her- while here reiterated his views on circula- tion to an Advisor representative:
 "Circulation is one of the most important problems having to do with advertising" said Mr. Pierce. Periodically, questions arise about the relative value of It's quality and quantity. An article of mine in Cur rent Advertising some time ago accurately stated my position, and to those views I still adhere.
 "Of course everybody asks what is your circulation?' By that is usually meant the number of copies printed and sold. But maintain that there is more to circulation than merely the number of copies sold If circulation were merely a question of the number of copies distributed advertising would be practically an open book. Any body could make 1t pay. Everybody knows that you can get circulation whose exact quantity you know, but whose paying quail ities are not so evident
 ''TaRe the cases of papers which have smaller circulations than others, yet charge higher rates. If advertisers on the whole were not convinced of the reliability of the claims of the former, they could not do this. The New York Herald charges higher rates than the New York Journal, yet the circu- lation of the latter is probably twice as large The Boston Transcript receives more per line than the Boston Post, yet the Post has five or six times the circulation.
 "There is something besides the number of copies printed which makes advertising pay. know of an advertiser who inserted a four-inch advertisement at one dollar a line in publication with circulation of 200, 900 per month and received three replies. Yet this advertisement paid welll in publi- cations of less than 10000 circulation.
 Tn fact, it is the relation existing be- tween the publication and 'ts readers which makes good circulation quality. The publ- cation which has a standing with it's read CTS, which is welcomed by its readeers as a
The age-herald., 1900-11-18

publication which is tf-own into the waste basket.
 ''The paper which is sought for by it's readers, bought by them or delivered to them regularly gives the advertiser the best value.
 Undoubtedly 1t would be handy thing to have standard rate per thousand, but 1t cannot be had. Each publication must be judged separately upon it's merits, and be considered individually. It is experience which tells what publication is worth, ana if the papers estimate of its own value is wrong, time must tell. When all papers and all people are alike, advertisers, may be successful in buying circulation by the thousand-but not until then.'

ENSLEY.
Budget of News from the Steel Making City.

Ensley, November 17.-(Special)-Mayor R. B. Powell has announced himself as a candidate for reelection. He has many supporters in this community, and is the first candidate to place his name before the people for the coming campaign. He states that he will be in the race from start to finish, and feels confident of being re- elected.
 No other candidates have announced themselves so far, and it is ot kown def1- nitely who his opponents will be. Among the names that are being frequently mem tioned as probable candidates for Mayor are J. M. Perkins and ex-Mayor N. w.. Scott. Both of these gentlemen have fig ured very prominently in the past elections held in our town, and if they decide to en- ter the race will receive hearty support. It is understood the workingmen will get out a candidate from within their own ranks in case they do not conclude to en- dorse any of the other candidates after they enter the race.
 John Morrison met with a bad accident yesterday while trying to handle some heavy material on high scaffold at the steel mill soaking pits. He was turning d heavy sheet of boiler iron with a hook when he suddenly lost his hold and fell backwards upon the railroad track below, breaking his left arm.
 The Epworth League met Friday night After a discussion of the subject "Intem-- perance," a systematic reading circle was inaugurated. Several series of interesting books furnished by the league are to be distributed by the literary committee among the members, and times and places are to be regularly appointed for the pur- pose of reading and commenting on them. The EpWorth League is already the leading Christian organization in our town, and is continually adding new features to make its meetings more and more attractive.
 The building boom still continues. Be- sides the four or five handsome brick stores under process of erection along Seventeenth street there are an unusually large number of pretty residences being built. On avenue E, near Twenty-fifth street, two neat resi- dences are receiving their finishing touches, while two more on the same block are just starting up. On avenues F and G there are at least half dozen new homes being constructed, all of which, when con- pleted will be a credit to the town. A num- Der of choice lots have changed hands re- gently, and the boom will continue for some time.

CANCER R

Sufferers from this horrible malady nearly always inherit it-not necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes it's ap- pearance- -or a swollen gland ill the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning.
 To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma. nently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood-every vestage of it driven out. This s. s.

When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns.
