Should the smallpox ever visit
Frankfort, something more than a
mere show of guarding the patients
and those in contact with them should
be observed. What advantage, for
instance, in guarding the mouth Of an
alley, when people can easily pass
across lots and through adjacent
premises to the infected district. So,
those taken to the pesthouse ought
not to be taken during business hours,
along the pavements, jostling against
people as they pass. In fact, we
doubt whether there is any good rea-
son why the existence of the disease
should be concealed from the public,
thereby causing it's increased spread
by innocent contact, through lack of
knowledge. Some people love the al
mighty dollar so well, however, they
would willingly see their fellow-citizen
die if they could trade on their chances
of life.

That ground hog should be watched

CORkERS AND TWlSTERS.
BY Mrs. O'Houlihan.

The defense of murder is fine art
in Kentucky, and the morbid sympathy
that attaches to the murderer and
makes him a hero instead of Grim
inal, tends to make human life very
cheap. Strange how quickly human
nature begins to hunt up, to imagine,
and even to fabricate excuses to free
the murderer of the consequences of
ances of threats, the apprehension of
legal penalties. The slightest en-
cuse is accepted as sufficient-the
calling of bad names, the alleged utter
his crime, and from the infliction of
physical violence in worldly warfare,
anything is deemed sufficient to justify
the taking of human life.
The dead man seldom seems to
have any friends. Regrets are proba-
bly, expressed, perhaps flowers sent,
but this is all. The important point
seems to get the murderer free. In
sanity is a great dodge in the absence
of any ready excuse. The officers of
the law are sometimes ready to help.
When the murderer, who killed his
employer at Louisville, was convicted
by the jury, the sheriff found a jury
who declared him insane, and the
officers of the asylum found a way to
let him go, and he went free.
The plea advanced in the Thaw
trial, in New York, that Thaw was
insane when he killed White, and
became sane Immediately afterward,
ought to forever disgrace the lawyer
who made it.

What to do
in Consultation

People who have a tendency to consti-
patton, or actually have chronic consti-
patton, will give q good deal to know
how to cure it. Yet the method is q
simple one and not al ali expensive.
However, it is almost as important TO
know what not to do as b &c Go. Do
not attempt to cure constipation by 4
sudden movement of b bowels secured
through salts, purgative waters or ca
thartic pills or powders, because 1t can't
be done in that way. One swallow does
not make q summer, and one movement
of the bowels does not cure constipation.
1t may clean out the bowels and give
momentary relief. bot the bowels win sooa re-
lapse to their Old state OF congestion ana yon
will have constipation or n more cLStinate form
than before. owing to reaction.
BY all odds the best way to cure corstiraticn
is by the use Of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin n
the dose suited TO chronic constipation. arc
which is described In full on each bottle. In this
way the cure is brought about scientifically. aHc
the result is permanent. 1t is a gentle but enec.
tive laxative, pleasant to the taste and SO sure IN
results that every bottle is guaranteed. H you
want to cure constipation so that IL viii stay
cured try this wonderful herb laxative con-
pound.
After an experience OF I've years OF medicine
taking to cure constipation, In which almost
every known remedy and method wes tried.
Mrs. Knight. of Bellview, Tenn, Is unbesitating
in her assertion that the only way to cure con.
stipati IN Is with DR.. Caldwclls Syrup Peps!n-
1t cured her and IL will cure you.
1t f. sold in so cent and u bottles and can be
obtained at any drug store. Every bottle Is
guarar teed. so get o bottle to-day and see what
It will do for you.
