RESULTS OF GoEBELIsM.
Louisville Commercial.

Commenting on the poor showing
that Kentucky makes in its industrial
development, according to the last
census, the Courier-Journal says;
NCertainly there are reasons for this
failure to be found in the van Of pro-
gress, and these reasons apply more or
less to the entire south. And then
il proceeds to explain that the laws of
the state are antagonistio to the bust
ness interests, the taxes are burden
some and lawlessness. as exhibited in
Hopkins county. and the insecurity Of
human life are responsible for the
states loss OF standing.
Bot these are minor causes Of the
decadence in the industrial interests
of Kentucky Organized political
Matchmaking of the corporations, the
spectacle of a legally elected governor
robbed Of his Office and driven forth
an exile from the state of his birth,
and in which the people have chosen
him for their chief magistrate, are
enough to make men of capital and
enterprise hesitate to come here to
build homes and engage in business.
Ii IL not for the Courier-Journal,
which has counseled and apologized
for all the lawnessness Of the Goebel-
lite party these three years past, to
affect an air OF hypocritinal surprise
that the state is-suffering not only in
character but in national interests.
The people of the United States stand
aghast at the spectacle Of political
brigandage that is upheld by such
papers as this champion Of Goebelism.
With the public treasures looted by
dishonest officials. elections made a
moekety, pablo Offices usurped, and
courts Of Justice prostituted to tho
purpose OF political persecution, there
is little in this garden spot, OF Gods
beautiful world TO attract capital or
immigration, and the lessons Of the
last few years are but half Learned by
the people who do the voting in Ken
tucky.

WHAT GOES UP
MUST COME DOWN,

Nothing is more certain than that
the use of so-called tones, stimulants
and medicines, which depend upon
alcohol for their effect. is injurious
to health in the long run.
What goes up must come down ana
the elevation Of spirits, the temporary
exhilaration resulting from a dose OF
medicine containing alcohol, Will GER
tainly be followed in few hours by a
corresponding depression to relieve
which another dose must h. taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
from the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol. and medicines containing
IL. are temporary stimulants and not
ia any sense n 'rue tonic, In fact it is
doubtful If any medicine or drug l. a
real tonic
A true tonic is something which
will renew, replenish, build up the
exhausted neryous ~ stem and wasted
tissues of the body. something that
will enrich the blood and endow il
with the proper proportions of red and
white oorpascles, which prevent or
destroy disease germs. This is what
real tonic should do and nos drug or
alcoholic stimulant will do H.
The only tire tonic in nature is
wholesome food. thoroughly digested.
Every particle OF nervous energy
every minute muscle, fibre and drop
of blood Is created daily from the food
we digest
The mere eating Of food has little
to do with the repair Of waste tissue
but the perfect digestion of the food
eaten has everything to do with IL.
The reason so few people have per
feet digestion is because from wrong
habits of living the stomach has grad
nally lost the power to secrete the
gastric Juice. peptones and acids in
sufficient quantity.
To cure Indigestion and stomach
troubles il ~ necessary to take after
meals some harmless preparation which
will supply the natural peptone and
diastase which every weak stomac h
lacks. and probably the best prepara-
tion Of this character is .Stuart's Dye
pepsia Tablets which may be found IN
every drug store aud which contain in
I pleasant palatable forms the whole
some peptone and diastsse which
nature requires for prompt digestion.
One or two Of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent sour
ing. fermentation and acidity and in.
sure complete digestion and assimilA-
tion.
stuATt's Dyspepsia Tablets Are'equal-
/ ly valuable for little children A. for
adults. as they contain nothing harm
full OF stimulating but only tine natural
digestives.
One Of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest I 500 grains Of meat, eggs
or other wholesome food, AMI they
are in every sense a genuine tonic be-
cause they bring about in the only
natural way = restorative Of nerve
power, a building mp of lost tissue
and appetite, in the only way it can
be done by the digestion and AssimifA-
ton OF wholesome food.

FALLING HAIR STOPPED.

BADNESS CURED BY DESTROY
ING THE PARASITE GERM THAT
CAUSES 1T.
Badness follows falling hair, falling
lair follows dandruff; and dandruff IS
the result of a germ digging it's way
into the scalp to the roots of the hair
where it saps the vitality of the hair.
To destroy that germ is to prevent as
as well as to cure dandruf, falling
hair, and, lastly, badness. There is
only n preparation known to do
that, Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely
new, scientific discovery. Where
ever it has been tried it has proven
wonderfully successful. It can't be
otherwise, because it utterly destroys
the dandruff germ. "You destroy the
cause, you remove the effect"

How Old Spiders Live.

Old spiders, which have neither web

hunt about 10 find out the webs Of 9TH
er spiders, younger and weaker than
themselves, with whom they venture
battle. The invader generally succeeds,
and the younger spider is driven out to
make q new web, and the cid spider re-
mains in possession until a stronger
spider inyades the web and drives 1t
out. When thus dispossessed, the spi-
der seldom ventures another attack, but
tries to snbsist upon the few insects
that may fall accidentally into Its
clutches and eventually dies of hunger.
