PEOPLE TO PAY OIL rnUsp FINE

Price Go Up, Says Standard Man.
Washington. April TO- Attorney
General Bonaparte in conversation to
day with a well known public man
gave the following side light on the
Standard Oil cases now occupying
attention in the federal courts in
Chicago: A man prominently identi-
fed with Standard OILS interests in
litigation informed the attorney gen.
eral that if the corporation he rep
resents be convicted and the mini
mum penalty be imposed 1t will mean
fines aggregating $4,000, 900. If TIE
maximum penalty be imposed 1t win
mean fines amounting toward $780,
100000. The attorney general in
quired If conviction in any event
would not be likely to affect the div
idends of the corporation.
"Oh. | don't think So" was the
reply. "The price Of oil can be rails
cd. you know, and then the people
will pay the fines"

FAT And LEAN
Will BE REDUCED TO AVERAGE
BY GOVERNMENT.
e Department of Agriculture Interests
Itself I'm Physical Shape of
People.

Washington. April 10.-- There
are too many fat people and too ma
ny thin people in the country. and
the government, through the agrI-
cultural department is conducting
experiments to show them how to
strike an average.
c. F, Langworthy. chief of the
division Of nutrition investigation, is
conducting investigations which In
Guide dietary. studies, digestive ex-
periInents and various other things
in connection with food.
How to get thin and how to get
fat are being experimental with In
a course of dietary studies at the
University of Maine, at Orono, in
that state, under the supervision of
Professor c. d. Woods, and at the
University of Tennessee. at Knox
vile, by Professor e. c. Waite.
These experiments were in full
swing before Secretary Taft entered

the cabinet, and therefore it cannot
be charged even in presidential
campaign that he used his Influence
to get the government to work on
the scheme.
Now is the time to get thin, the
governments experts believe. With
the approach of the summer and its
green vegetables the path of the fat
man who wants to reduce is made
easier.
To fat ones the government says:
Eat little, sleep little and drink
less"
To the thin man it says: Drink
all you can, eat all you can and sleep
as much as you can"
The thin man who wants to get
fat must. eat and drink everything
that he can stomach. He must eat
plenty of potatoes. bananas and
bread; most important. he must
drink water before and after his
meals.
The experts say it is principally
what person drinks and not what he
eats that makes him fat Fat is most
ly water, II is asserted, and the more
water or other liquids person
slows away the more likely he is to
gain weight. Sweets of all kinds also
are urged as fat producers.
Above all, thin person who wants
to spread out must sleep ten or elev-
en- hours day. A nap after each
meal is offered as an excellent In
ducement for fat to come and stay.
On the other hand, the man who is
trying to lose weight is advised that
he keep moving after a meal to
thwart the dread adipose.
"This is the season of the year.
said an agricultural department Of
fetal today, when persons who are
Inconvenience by fat may easily get
rid of some of It. The heat OF sum-
mer naturally tends 10 reduce the
weight, for it causes perspiration and
that means the discharge OF good
deal of the water under the skin.
But the principal inducement of sum-
mer is that the season offers many
fresh vegetables, like tomatoes, on
ions, lettuce radisnes and the like,
which the fat man may eat by the
wholesale with impunity.7

The Call of
the Kidneys,

One of the first indications that
your kidneys are in distress is dull,
painful ache in your back. Another
sure sign of kidney or bladder trouble
IS highly discolored or painful urina-
ton.
If either one of these symptoms are
present it is most important that you
should at once get a box of Lantz's
Red Kidney Pillets and cleanse your
kidneys thus enabling them to perform
their proper functions and preventing
Diabetes or Bright's Disease.
Tell you why.
The kidneys are the scavelsers Of
the body.
Healthy kidneys remove from the
blood about 500 grains of impure mat
ter every day.
1t does not require medical train
ing to understand that, II for any rea-
son the kidneys are unable to properly
perform this blood cleansing opera
ton, serious arrangement. not only to
the kidneys, but also to all the other
organs of the body must be the result.
So, when the kidneys call for help,
1t is Of the utmost Importance to your
health that you assist them at once
with Lantzs Red Kidney Pillets, the
very best diuretic known to the medi-
cal profession to-day They not only
cleanse the kidneys and assist them
to perform their proper functions, but
they have a soothing, healing effect.
They also contain gentle laxative
which acts upon the stomach at the
same time, thus expelling through the
kidneys and stomach. all Impurities
from the body.
Our guarantee is in every boy.

-T's YOUR KIDNEYS.


Many people never suspect their
Kidneys If suffering from lame
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think It
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms Of kid
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead TO diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
TO use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all Ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Paducah people
testify to permanent cures.
/. l.. Daviess, 219 Broadway Padu-
cab, KY, says: 81 have been greatly
benefited by the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills which / procured at Dubois
Son & Co.'S drug store. I had suf-
fered with backache for some time
but short use of this remedy
proved very satisfactory in relieving
the trouble. can recommend

Gently Instituted in the Fayette cir
cult court by the heirs of the late DR..
B. d. Cox against Jim Hargis, Alex
Hargis, Elbert Hargis and Ed Gala
han, who, 1t is alleged, formed a
conspiracy to murder Dr. Cox, ac-
cording to the contention made here
yesterday by Attorney A. F. Byrd.
Mr.. Byrd was present in court to
argue against sustaining OF the mo-
ton OF Hargis' attorneys to quash
the suit on the ground that service
was not legally secured on Jim Har-
gis. While 1t Is the belief Of the at
torneys for the Cox heirs that the
motion made by the attorneys for
the Harglses and Callahan is for the
purpose of perfecting the plea of lin
itation, it is contended by Attorney
Byrd that should the court sustain
the motion of the defense that SER
vice on Jim Hargis was not legally
secured, they cannot then claim the
law of Limitation because the petition
for damages was actually filed before
the time limit expired. A postpone
ment was secured by the Hargis at
torneys until next Monday, at which
time the limitation will have ex-
