These damp days are hard on peo-

relief is sought in all sorts of RENE

There Is no doubt In the minds of
people who have suffered with the
dread disease and those who have
studied 1t closely that probably more
relief can be secured from the Osteo-
pathic treatment than any other.
OF course, some chronic cases
won't yield to any treatment, but in
stances of cases of seven and eight
years standing yielding to three
months treatments can be cited. II

TOBACCO CROP TAKES MONEY

This week shows not only a large
gain over the same week of last year,
in bank clearings, but a good increase
over last week of this year. There is
the greatest activity in all lines in
Paducah now that has ever been
known. either as regards volume or
movements.
Undoubtedly more money will be
spent this holiday month than ever
before, because prosperity is here in
greater degree than ever before.
The weather has been ideal the larger
part Of the week for retail business
and the merchants already report ex-
tensive sales. Holiday shopping Will
be on in earnest next week.

Daily Thought.
"You will never regret having spo-
ken the just or generous word"

Windows full of toys and attrac-
tive articles, bit of holly and mis-
tletoe appearing here and there, and
busy women shoppers thronging the
streets. present lively scene on
Broadway. 1t is almost impossible,
when one sees the things there are TO
be sold, and the well dressed people
so eager to buy, to realize that right
here in Paducah are hundreds of lit
tie children who will have no Christ
mas unless charitably inclined people
help them. II is because on his daily
rounds the newspaper man finds dis
tress and gaunt hunger on all sides,
that The Sun started its Christmas
tree for the children several years
ago. The project attained such mag
nitude that it became impossible for
a man out of touch with the work
1854 days in the year to manage II
properly. SO the Christmas tree was
turned over to the Rev. r. w. Chiles,
Of the Union Rescue Mission, but The
Sun continues to be the Santa Claus.
This year as usual donations will be
received, and coupons appear in The
Sun daily. that those who desire to
donate a dime toward the Christmas
tree may have the chance to do so. A
dime isn't much, but 1000 dimes
will make many a poor heart glad Il
is Christmas. That is the reason The
Suns Christmas tree has been such
a success from the beginning. It af-
fords the opportunity for a. large
number or people to contribute a
small amount each, and yet accomp-
lish a great deal, whereas individual.
ly they might do little toward max.
ing the poor happy. We would like
to have it said that not a child In Pa.
ducah was overlooked by Santa
Claus.

Sometimes It seems as though the
parable OF the prodigal son is con-
strued too literally. with too much
stress on the fatted calf episode. aud
too faint reference to the season of
husks and repentance. The youth
who inaugurates his career with the
idea Of eonsecratlng his early man
hood to the cultivation OF an appe-
lite for ancestral veal, is apt to look
upon promotion to the position of
