OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1906-10-24
CURE CATARRH NOW.
DO Not Wait Until Winter or Dr.
SeaSe Will Become Chronic.

Many people in Mt. Sterling are
troubled with the symptoms of
offensive catarrh which usually
appear at this season of the year.
Before the disease becomes
chronic use Hyomei and get com
plete relief from catarrhal troubles.
If YOU do not treat the disease
promptly it may become chronic
and almost incurable. Use Hy3-
mel now and cleanse your system
of catarrhal troubles, and you will
be free from catarrh and far less
susceptible to coughs and colds
during the winter.
There is no stomach dosing with
Hyomei, just breath it.
w. S. Lloyd gives guarantee
with every package of Hyomei.
! Complete outfit costs but 81,
extra bottles if needed only 30
cents. 15-&-17.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1906-10-24
FAULTY DIGESTION.
Quickly Skaters the Nervous
System and Should be Given
Attention at Once.

The most common cause of
weak and shattered nerves is
faulty digestion. For that rea-
son Mi-o-na stomach tablets are of
the greatest good to any nervous
sufferer. They strengthen the di-
gestive system so that it will as
simulate all the elements of nerve
force from the daily food, and the
nerves will be strengthened, sleep
lessness will be overcome and
weakness will vanish.
If you have specks before the
eyes, sick and nervous headaches
or backaches, in fact, if there are
any symptoms of Indigestion OF
nervousness, begin the use OF
Mi-o-na at once, and you will soon
notice improvement in health.
You run no risk in buying Milo
ma, for w. S. Lloyd gives an alb
solute guarantee with every 80
cent box, that the money will b.
refunded unless Mona does al
that is claimed for it. 15-&-17

Killing BOrCrS.

If the fruit tree bark borers or
any other kind of insects are in
the orchard, a small piece of
homemade soap placed in the
forks of such trees will be useful.
The alkalies in the soap will
sting the skin of the insects and
kill, and then the potash in the
soap will be a fertilizer to the tree
The rains during the winter will
carry the soap down to the roots
and the rootlets will take it up anC
and carry up the potash under TIN
bark. Do something for the or
chard, and the orchard will d.
something for its owner.

ADMIT DEFEAT
Many Saloon Keepers Will Quit
The Business.

The Louisville Free Press, the
official organ of the Kentucky |
State Liquor League, under the
editorial caption, The Storm
Breaks talks to its friends and
patrons as follows:
Recent County Unit elections
in Kentucky prove that the warn
ings of the Free Press for the past
two years have been timely, but.
neglected. The liquor interests
are, just waking up to the dangers
that confront them, and they have
aroused themselves too late. Be
fore the present deluge is past,
Kentucky will be changed State.
Zone thing is very certain; the
liquor traffic has got to change its
entire method and acquire diff
ferent character. Men of intelli-
gence and good character must re-
place those who possess little of
either. The saloon must be a
place of orderly refreshment and
it must take on the character of
. the public-house in England anC
; the continent. Drunkenness ano
; disorderly conduct must be elimi
; mated and the patrons of the sa
: loon must be educated up to the
: temperate and rational use of beer
! wine and liquor.
: This educational work shoul'
: have been begun many years ago
: Now, while the public and tn,
8 traffic are being educated"
7 large part of the saloon keeper
8 of Kentucky will be put out c
3 business. The Louisville retailer
and those of the larger cities of tn
Z State, will if they are wise, begi
= to elevate their business and t
: make war on the disorderly elt
= ment in their ranks.
e The wholesalers and brewer
: must act promptly in furtheranC
g of this policy, and all must o
g ganize for the protection of the
business from the enemies with
and without. Louisville FIR
Press.

States, died at the Hotel Majestic

she rallied slightly during the ear
ly hour of the day and shortly at
ter seven o'clock that morning had
sinking.
At the bedside when death came
were Mrs. j. Addison Hayes, OF
Newark, N. j., her only surviving
daughter; jefferson Davis Hayes
grandson, who is a stucDent at
Princeton University; Mrs. Charles
E. Batteson, a niece; DR.. and Mrs.
Gustave Webb, the latter a grand
daughter, and DIR. Robert Wylie.

ieth birthday on May Z last. The
late wears of her life have been
saddened by the loss of her daugh-
ter. Winnie, who died in Septem
her 1898, at Narragansett Pier.

slider this matter seriously, organ
ize and regain your independence.
The Board of Control of the Bur
lev Tobacco Society believe that
the spirit of development and prog
ress which exists and centers
around Winchester, KY, is an
evidence that that City will be a
proper center of operations for
our society. Therefore we have
arranged for a meeting of Burley
Tobacco Growers of Kentucky,
West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana
to be held on LIST, 2ne and Bird OF
November next, in that City, at
which meeting it will be expected
that final arrangements will be
made for the handling of the pres
ent crop of Burley Tobacco. w
invite the cooperation of every
business interest in the State o
Kentucky. We propose to worl
in harmony with every one dOin'
a legitimate business.

AN OLD MANS REASONS FOR
TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
C. T. BROOKS.

Owing to the interest that feel
in your valuable paper, should
like to give you a few of my reas-
ons for total abstinence:
The Bible teaches it, and it is
the only safeguard to sObriety.
Strong drinks bebase a man, men
tally, morally and physically, rob-
bling him of his ability to care for
his family and fulfill his larger du-
ty to mankind. Why men drink
whiskey, is one of the unexplained
mysteries. If has wrought great
err havoc with the human family
than pestilence, famine, or any Of
the great world calamities known
to history. l could instance many
cases, young men of bright intel
Iect, ruined before they reach thir
ty years. | should like to say t.
all the boys, don't begin; and t.
the girls, don't marry man tina
drinks. May Gods richest bless
ings abide with the Temperance
workers, and especially, with tn
Editor of the Kentucky Issue.

Driving the Boys from the Farm,

The boys and girls can have
more pleasure on the farm with
their parents than they will find in
our cities. But the parents must
not demand of the boys to work
from sun-up to shutdown. This
is one of the reasons the boys and
girls are inclined to leave the farm.
Give the children better education
and more time to read and enjoy
themselves, and they will be better
contented on the farm,

Women Pay Taxes. Not Allowed
To Vote.

Property owning women have
become such an important consti
tuency in New York that the
Night and Day Bank on Fifth av-
enue is to add to its business a dis
tinctly woman's bank separate in
every detail, other than that it
will be under the present manages
ment and dictatorship. The di2
rectors decided on such an annex
recently in view of experiences
with feminine financiers. And
vet these business women of New
York, who represent large tax
paying element, and who are in
terested in the administration of
government, both financially and
personally, are denied the right of
suffrage, which is essential to the
protection of their rights as citi-
zens. Oakland (Cal. Enquirer.

CARNATIONS, and at the same time
fastening the bonds of slavery not
only upon ourselves but our chill
dren. Think of it. What are you
going to hand down to your pos
terity? Is it not time to open
wide your eyes to the existing con-
ditions and act at once on this
present crop9 Do not daily, for
we are up against condition that
never before confronted us, that
is, one buyer, and the farmers
competing one with another, in
selling their tobacco and other
products as well, in order to ac-
commodate. the spectators and
buyers.
Let us act as one man. Meet
this one buyer with one seller.
We believe that the loss sustained
to the present crop, by reason of
excessive rains and unfavorable
weather conditions at housing time
amounts to all of % per cent of
our crop planted in 1906.
In 1905, United States raised
633, 033, 719 pounds of tobacco and
| Kentucky alone produced 228, 975,-
420 of the above amount, and the
price realized per pound being &c
which is OILS cents less than the
average as whole, which was 8.5
cents per pound, of this amount
our Burnley District planted 1884,
: 694 acres, resulting in crop which
yielded 1862, 274,S42 pounds, for
: which we received &c. Burley to-
t bacco if sold for price common
: surate with its real value, should
= bring at least 12c per pound. Ii
