THE NEBUCHADNEzzAR STUNT
Being Practiced for Benefit of
Health-A Return to
Nature.

Asonia, Conn, May Physical cul-
ture enthusiasts here are promoting
the Nebuchadnezzar cure. Young
women take it to beautify their COM
plexions.
Fat men and women take it to re-
duce their weight.
Dyspeptic persons of both sexes are
adopting it as a corrective of indi-
gestion.
Summed up, the treatment means
that every one assumes what in An
sonia drawing rooms they denominate
the OK position. That is, they drop
upon their hands and feet and walk
about upon all tours, their postures and
gait resembling those Of monkey or
a bear, rather than an antelope, or a
fawn. If the person be a weakling,
one circuit of the room is enough,
but If he be robust he may make
dozen tours of it at one period of ex-
ercise a day, or it may be done out
doors.
Learnedly, one of the Ansonia
teachers of physical culture advocates
the cure. 1--WE are simply in the cur
rent of advance modern belief" he
said. I'VE are going back to nature
and leading the simple life. Zoolog-
lists agree that a man was a quadru-
ped before he was biped, and some
eminent naturalists point to certain
abnormalities OF the body, among
them the presence Of the apparent
" useless appendix as being due to
the abrupt change in mans organ
ism when he began to walk erect.
IF a man should recur to the hab-
lis of his remote ancestors occasional
" and go on adj fours, many of the
ills he now complains of would disap-
pear. No other exercise brings so many
muscles of the body into play as this
new old exercise we call Nebuchad-
nezzaring. The lungs, liver and all
the other organs are stimulated, and
all functions of the body are stirred
into new life and activity. Bilious per-
sons are the greatest beneficiaries
from the exercise, which must, how
ever. be taken in moderation at the
beginning"

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Much Benefited by the
Use of Vinol.

Hundreds Of old people right here
in Hartford need just such strength
maker and body-builder as our de-
licious cod liver preparation, Vinol;
and we simply cannot understand why
they will continue to drag out half

We guarantee Vinol will invigorate
every organ in the body, stop the
natural decline, and make them well,
vigorous and strong.
Mrs. Catherine Therer, of Albany, N
Y, writes: six months ago / felt
that | was broken down by age, and
was doomed to the weak and feeble
condition of old people. The slightest
exertion tired me, and ] had no
strength. My daughter brought me a
bottle of Vinol. ! soon felt an i'm
provement; | continued its use, and
am now well. cheerful, and stronger
than | have been for years; in fact,
| feel ten years younger"
Vinol is not stimulant which re-
acts on the system, but it is a genu-
inc cod liver and iron tonic which in
a natural manner makes rich blood
and replaces weakness with
strength. We wish every old person
in Hartford would try Vinol on our
offer TO return money If 1t fails. u.

PULASKI COUNTY FARMER
KILLED BY NEGRO TENANT.

In Plain Sight of
His Wife.

Somerset, KY, May John Adams
one of the best known men in the
county and a prosperous farmer re-
siding a few miles west of Somerset,
was killed by a negro tenant, Tom
Woods, who fired three shots with a
shotgun into Adams body.
The tragedy occurred at Woods cab.
in on the farm of Adams and only a
short distance from Adams home.
The killing was witnessed by Mrs.
Adams, wife of the. murdered maH,
from the front porch of her home.
Her husband had gone to the cabin
of Woods to see If he was going to
return to work, as he had failed to
stop at Adams for his meal, as he
was accustomed to do.
Mrs. Adams says when her husband
arrived at the yard gate Of Woods
she saw the negro step to the door
and open fire on him.
Adams endeavored to make his es-
cape after the first shot, but was fired
on twice more, one of the loads tear
ing away the left side of his face
and shoulder Great indignation ex-
lists over the killing, as Adams be-
longed to one of the oldest and most
extensive families in this section of
the State.

KENTUCKY0|LWE
That Were Discovered By
Accident.
LUCK PLAYED IMPORTANT PART
In Locating Well GuShers in
Both Kentucky And
Tennessee.

Nearly all the important oil finds
in Kentucky and Tennessee have
been purely accidental. Some of these
finds are of an amusing character,
while others are nearer pathetic.
In Cumberland county the first
strike was made about 40 years ago.
A man was drilling for salt water,
and when some distance down, was
advised to seek new location The
adviser told him that he would find
no salt water where he was drilling,
to which the driller replied, I'm go
ing to drill here until l strike salt
water or hell" An hour later the
drill penetrated the oil sand and the
oil gushed far above the derrick
The driller was so amazed at the sight
that he could not move. Finally as
the oil continued to gush he ran from
the scene a badly frightened man.
A half mile from the well he passed
the man who had advised him to
make the change in the location. At
ter going on some distance, he yell
ed back over his shoulder, 1--WE
struck something, and its not salt
water, either!"
Soon the report became current that
the driller had actually drilled into
hell, and the report, until 1t was fl
nally corrected, caused much excite
ment and worry among the ignorant
and superstitious.
About the same time the old flow
ing we'll on Boyd's creek, this coun-
ty, was drilled under similar circum-
stances. Those who drilled were af-
ter salt water When oil was found
it, like the Cumberland county well,
was "gusher," and not being what
the prospectors sought, they left it
as it had come in. This we'll spouted
at the rate of 100 barrels a day, and
the oil ran into a small creek near by.
Several days after the strike, when
the oil had covered the creek from
the we'll to where it emptied into a
much larger stream, a distance of
three miles, some careless person
applied a match, and as a result the
three miles of creek were ablaSe in
a short time. The blaze rose 40 feet
and was plainly seen for miles.
AS the strike had not become gener-
ally known, the sight Of fire three
miles long all night was enough to
scare folks, and many who could not
be classed as ignorant or supersti-
tious were frightened out of their
wits, believing the end of the world
had come. 1t was several days be-
fore the matter was explained, and
in that time more prayers were sent
up than ever before or since in the
same length of time in this section.
The we'll flowed undistrubed for
many years, and thousands of barrels
of oil were lost. People say the creek
resembled a river of oil, and the
rocks far up in the cliff still show
plainly the mark of the oil. This
creek is now called Oil creek.
At later dates oil was discovered in
