The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimousin the conclusion
that the generally accepted limita-
tion OF human lite is many years be-
low the attainment possible wish
the advanced knowledge OF which
the race Is now possessed. The criti-
cal period, that determines It's dura-
ton, seems to be between so and 60;
the proper care Of the body during
this decade cannot be too strongly
urged; carelessness then being fatal
to longevity. Natures best helper

ti6c tonic medicine that revitalizes
every organ OF the body. Guaranteed

trict, In a letter to Governor Hoch,
declined TO accept the proffered vaca.
tion and insisted that his resignation
he accepted. J. W. Finley, oil
Chanute, was appointed to fll the

account OF the illness Of his wife.
Governor Hoch and the lawyers who
wanted the job decided that In con.
sideration Of his service OF twenty.
four years he was entitled to a vaca-
ton OF year, while he took care Of
his wife. The attorneys promised to
look after the courts business while
he was away.
In letter to the governor Judge
Ssilwell said that he could not con.
slider this plan, as the Illness OF his
wife might be Of an indefinite nature
and, besides, he could not think Of
drawing the salary for so long a time
without doing anything In return.

From Golfers Weekly.
The state OF Georgia has passed a
prohibitory law which for thorough.
ness casts that of Maine into the
shade. Not only does it close every
saloon In the state, but IL does moi
allow liquor to be sold by nybody
even a druggist, for any purpost
whatever. People who need stimu
lants for medical purposes may gel
what assistance they can from pure
alcohol, on a physicians prescrip
ton. Even this may not be furnish
ed by the druggist except on the day
the prescription Is dated, nor In
quantities exceeding a pint. Most
stringent regulations are provided
for preventing violations Of the law
The burden Of proof that alcohol ID
wanted for an innocent purpose d
thrown upon the druggist.
The Maine law Is said to have
proved impossible OF enforcement in
the larger cities. The largest city In
Maine has 90, 900 inhabitants. But
Georgia has one city of 125, 900 and
another OF $4,000. She has also
nearly twice as many negroes as she
total number OF inhsbitantsin Maine.
The desire to keep liquor out OF the
hands Of this part OF the population,
so easily brutalized by drink, is re-
sponsible for much OF the spread Of
prohibition sentiment In Georgia and
In the other Southern states In which
the saloon has received 80 many
staggering blows.
There will be an opportunity now
for the iairest test the anti-csnteen
rule In the army has ever received.
II the law Is enforced, the soldiers In
the military posts In Georgia can no
longer find liquor outside. Let their
post exchanges be made as attrac.
tive as they can be without beer, and
let us see what statistics show at the
end OF a year on the subject OF drunk.

TO END POLITICAL TAUNTs.
Why Paul Barth, ex-Mayor Of
Louisville, Shot Himself
10 Death.

Louisville, Aug. 21.-Gosded By
the taunts Of bis political opponents
and respondent over the charges and
insinuations that be had deiraudet
the city out Of q saddle horse which
cost $500, ex mayor Paul c Bsrtt
killed himself at noon today by firing
q bullet into his right temple. HI
was alone in his private Office vher
he killed himself, and although ths
shot was heard by clerks In the front
OF the main Office, IL was some time
before the real facts became known
Mr.. Bsrth had been greatly vor'
ried since the publication In Louis
vile papers Of the insinustions oI
Mayor Bingham that Barth had tried
to conceal the horse after its pur'
chase had been caught by an expert
accountant. He discussed the mat
ter with his friends and to all denied
that he had any intention OF deiraud
Ing the city when he purchased the
horse.
When the horse transaction first
became public a paper which was
supporting the Bingham admins.
tration began cartooning the ex.
mayor astride the horse, and even
after he had sent his personal check
to Mayor Bingham for the amount
OF the purchase, the paper and bis
political opponents continued their
attacks upon bin. Mr.. Barth was
very sensitive regarding his honesty
and when 1t was made light OF by his
enemies, he felt that he had been
disgraced. Rather than face the fam
lily and friends under the charges he
decided to shoot himself.
Mr.. Barth had property worth
close to q million dollars, which he
had accumulated by hard work In
the last twenty-five years. he was
40 years old and q widower. Three
children survive him.
Paul C. Barth was declared elected
mayor Of Louisville In 1905. The
election was carried to the state
court Of appeals, which decided that
the election OF 1905 was invalid be-
cause Of gross frauds. Thereupon
Governor Beckham appointed new
councilmen and q new mayor. 1t
was then that Robert W. Bingham
went into Office.

Letter to W. O. Jackson.
Butler, Mo.

Dear Sir: Our agent ought to sell
nine-tenths OF the paint Of his town
and region; no use to try for the 9th
er tenth. The proportion of men,
who won't take good advice, and use
the least-gallon paint, Is about one In
ten among even owners Of houses
and stores and shops and barns and
fence.
One man In ten will buy gold
brick or green goods, II he has the
money and gets q good chance.
Dsvoe at $1.75 a gallon is better
than gold; adulterated and short.
measure paints are green goods and
gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, Of
the labor and wages OF painting; It'll
all paint; full strength and full meas.
ure. There Is no other such paint
with ten per cent. Ten per cent o.
labor and paint is worth saving; and
