lucky votes for prohibition" was
phrase once in use to describe a thing
thought to be quite impossible. The
latter half Of the phrase a no longer
be used to perform this service. Pro-
hibition may soon be an issue in Ken
lucky. At any rate there Is d general
belief that IL viii soon be made an Is
sue. and Temperance sentiment in the
state has grown SO rapidly Of late that
such a campaign would stir the whole
commonwealth profoundly. In a pinch
prohibition might carry.
The country has been advised Of the
changes that in the last decade have
taken place in the Blu Grass state on
this subject. Becoming arrogant by
reason Of their wealth and power, the
whiskey interests went into politics,
and demanded a voice in the nomi-
mating caucus and later they put up
candidates and elected them, and then
used them in office for their own
ends. They defied, for years with i'm
punity. such laws as they did not like.
The Sunday closing law was a dead
letter in all the cities and towns, and
the saloon keepers had their W way.
IT was not an easy matter to break
this power. but the power has been
broken. The revolt spread slowly, but
II spread. Beginning In the country
districts, and aided materially by he
country clergy, it has made Itself felt
In every portion Of the state, until in
all but a bakers dozen Of the counties
temurrance now rules. Even in the
cities the temperance influence Is ac-
tive. and the question IL entering into
this years campaign for the election
Of a state ticket. Governor Beckham,
who is "A candidate for the United
states senate, and Is the power behind
the whole democratic ticket. Is in
strong sympathy with the temperance
program. and In the matter of Sunday
closing ls bringing the saloon men to
book.
All Of this goes to hearten the men
who insist that prohibition, and not
local option, is the only cure for the
whiskey evil. and they are forecasting
"A campaign for the extreme policy.
such a battle will not be as easily won
In Kentucky as It has been In Georgia,
because of the enormous investments
that are affected, but the present
swelling temperance tide may be car
ried that far under a magnetic leader
ship.
The temperature Of hades Is fixed,
and will continue available for pur-
poses Of illustration and comparison,
but prohibition in Kentucky is by no
means an imposslbility.

CORNvILLE.

On Friday last, while working for
Leroy Walton near his saw mill,
Howard Herrin came near receiving,
what might have been, serious in
iuries; he was driving his one horse
team on what used to be the road to
the old Crowell mill, when in turning
his team the horse backed the cart
over the bank of the river, where it is
about 15ft high; the cart was over
turned and Mr. Herrin thrown out.
The horse in backing down so steep a
grade fell directly over backwards
and the result of the fall was sufficient
to break the horses neck; both thilis
of the wagon were broken, but the
driver escaped serious injuries, al
though the wheels passed over him
he was not seriously hurt; had the
ice broken they would probably have
been DIR Jwn as the water at that point
is about Is feet deep. Mr.. Herrip is
thankful 1t was no worse.

YOUNG MAN HAS

Human Life Seems Conferred In Stomach.
All Else Is Secondary.

The immense success which has fol

year with his new preparation has ex
ceeded anything of the kind ever be
fore witnessed In most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has q
novel theory. He believes that the hu.
man stomach Is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar.
rival in an eastern city: "The average
man or woman cannot be sick II the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of a virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, etc, which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach, but
even fevers can, In nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that Is now so
common, Is caused by the stomachic
conditions, and 1t is because my rem

Growing Children
Advice to Mothers of Skowhegan

Perhaps the most important princi-
pie involved in the care of child is
proper nourishment.
How many delicate children do we
meet on our streets with colorless
cheeks and thin little legs and arms.
1t is very plain to be seen that rapid
growth takes all their strength and
their little bodies are not receiving
sufficient nourishment to make them
well, strong and robust.
We want to say to the parents of
all such children In Skowhegan that
our delicious cod liver and iron prep
aration. Vinol, will build up delicate
children, fill out hollow cheeks and
make them strong, robust and rosy.
Vinol makes new vitality, sound flesh
and muscle tissue and pure, rich red
blood, and children love 1t. This is
because Vinol il q delicious tasting
cod liver preparation without oil
made by scientific, extractive and
concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, thus combining with
peptonate of iron all the medicinal,
healing, body building elements of
cod liver oil, but no oil.
AS body builder and strength cre-
ator for old people, delicate children,
weak, rundown persons, after sick
ness, and for chronic coughs, colds,
bronchitis, and all throat and lung
troubles, Vinol is unexcelled. Try
Vinol on our offer to return money II
it fails to give satisfaction. F. w.
