Big Sandy has been so low this

able to run, and things are getting
very scarce in that section.
Farmers have not been able to dc

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the hest treatment

MEET,NG-COUNCI TRIED
TODO THE SQUARE THING
1T is CLAIMED.
MUCH REVENUE WILL COME TO
THE CITY AS THE RESULT
OF LAST NIGHTS
MEETING.

Last night came before the City
Council the question of granting IL
censes. By the way they were granted
the city viii take in Il large amount Of
revenues. There were eighteen appii-
cations for liquor licenses. Three of
these were not granted. The Council
had good reasons to believe that these
should not be granted, and it was not
done.
When the Council met they took up
the business where they left Off Tues
day night All were present except
Counc Gilman Downs, who was at Pitts
burg with the other members of the
County Court, locking after the NOV
ing of the pier at the bridge across
the river at this city.
The bills of the month were taken
up and examined by the different COM
nlittees, and all found to be correct
were ordered paid. This took some
time, but the fathers are careful as
to how they eNpend the peoples
money.
Next came the granting OF licenses.
His Honor told the Council that the
ordinance required that the man
should be temperate, and that it must
be entered upon the records that he
is such. Now it depends upon the
standard by which a man is judged
whether he is temperate or not. Some
people may say that he can drink
every week and yet be temperate,
while others may think him intemper-
ate if he takes drink once in year.
However, the Council had no trouble
settling that question in their minds
and went ahead with the work. The
bonds were approved by City Solicitor
Stanley, and these were re-eNanlned
by the Council. Several applicants
gave personal bonds, while others
were secured by the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Company, OF
Baltimore.
