Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject, 1t is easier to prevent
than to cure. 1t has been fully de-
monstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack OF
influenza (grlp). and it has been obser-
we'd that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases towards
pneumonia. This has been fully prov.
en- in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from a slight cold when
no danger is apprehended Until it is sud
denly discovered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in The
chest then it is announced that the pa
tient has pneumonia. BE on the safe
side and take Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy as soon as the cold is contracted
1t always cures. For sale by Coldwel

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.
Henry Watterson's C0urier-J0urnal An
rs nOunces a New Policy.


During Three Decades the Louisville Courier
I Journal has stood unalterably and conspicu-
ously before the public as the representative of
the great commonality of the people against
both the Robber Baron seeking through the
accretion of ill-got money to steal away the
peoples liberty by stealing away their fran
chise rights, and the ready-tool of the Robber
Baron, the bandit politician, masquerading as
Statesman and patriot the better to serve
the ends of his master. In fulfilling this high
function it has sometimes had to go fast and
sometimes to go slow sometimes to cry ''on-
ward" and sometimes to cry ''halt, " some
times to drive at the root of things, and some
times to drive ahead, but never changing the
direction of its movement and always true to
the underlying principle of its being, expressed
by the simple demand for 1.-The Greatest Good
to the Greatest Number. -
With the advent of the New Year that is on
the first of January, 1908, the Courier-JOurnal
began campaign from which it looks for com
manding results, and the better to reach the
objects it has before it, the twice-a-week edi-
ton was changed to a once-a-week edition, re-
turning to the old Weekly Courier-Journal.
which for quarter of century was literally
a political Bible to millions of Americans who
knew they could trust both its precedence and
its dsinterestedness.
Tire new Weekly Courier.Journal is modern
in every respect, and is paper for the home
1t is issued every Wednesday, and its ten or
twelve eight -colunn pages are filled with the
best work of the best writer's, The price of the
paper is 81 year, in advance, and it is.wen
worth it.
By special arrangement with the publishers
of the CourierJourual you can get that paper
and the Commercial one year for only 81 80.

Stranger things have happened.

nobody thought there would be
such a thing as law prohibiting
the sale Of alcoholic liquors any
where. Even the Capitol at Wash
ington went dry and "who'd a
though it,"
w. II. Hamilton, our enterprising
friend from Paducah Junction, in
formed us that he purchased last
Tuesday the lease of the sulphur
springs of VIM. Pettus near that
place. Mr.. Hamilton says that
arrangements are being made 10
erect buildings for the accommod :
ton of summer visitors and other
conveniences contemplated for the
coming season. Mr.. Hamilton is
w IL known through the country S
one of the most successful barbecue
and picnic managers, and no doubt
the springs will be kept on scale
commensurate with his skill and
reputation in that line. We hope
he will build up notable watering
place there.
