WOULD MODIFY LAW
Preventing Sale of Whisky to
Local Option Counties.

1t is probable that the distillers
of Kentucky will make an effort to
have the laws preventing the sale
of whisky to local option counties
in this State modified at the next
meeting of the Legislature. 1t is
asserted by different whisky dea-
lers that Louisville is not getting
square deal because the interstate
law does not prevent Cincinnati
from selling whisky into local
option counties, whereas the Ken
lucky law does prevent Louisville
dealers from SO doing.
Because of this State of affairs"
said one whisky man, Il believe
that we will not do as big a vol
ume of business this fall as we
have been doing in past years. In
my opinion, it is not exactly right
for laws to be framed that do not
allow Kentucky people to compete
with outsiders for the business in
their own State
I'm getting to be an old man
now" he continued, land don't
feel like moving out OF the State,
but if young man were to come
to me and tell me that he is going
into the whisky business, I'd say:
Young man, get out of Kentucky"
And Kentucky has always had the
reputation reproducing the best
whisky and the most whisky in
the country, and, in fact, all the
world.
From a moral standpoint, it is
all right for laws to be formulated
prohibiting to sell to option
counties. But l don't see how they
help very much, morally, if Gin
cinnati is allowed to sell to them.
Commercially, it means t h t
Louisville is just handing Gin
cinnati her business. "-Courier

MCCREARY FOR
VICE PRESIDENT.
KentuCkianS Want Senator Hon.
Ored For Years Of Service
to Party.

The announcement that Bryan
will make six speeches in Ken
lucky for the State ticket has re-
newed the suggestions heard that if
he is nominated for the Presidency
nothing could be more in harmony
than that Southern Democratic
leader should be chosen as his
running mate.
Kentucky politicians and lead
ing citizens of the various walks of
life are asking the question why
should not this man come from
Kentucky?
The name of James B. McCreary
is the one that prominent leaders
at Frankfort and throughout the
Commonwealth are pointing to as
that most suitable to be linked
with the Commoner. That the
Senator would prove a most popu-
lar candidate and could at once
command the support of the Solid
South for the honor is not doubt
ed by those who have taken the
time to investigate conditions and
the sentiment toward his candi-
acy.-Frankfort Cor. Lexington

The Latest In Jewels.

Enter the Roosevelt tooth as a
precious stone. The vogue is
established by the New York
adorer of the President, who,
having got hold of a babyhood
tooth of that distinguished gen.
orator of teeth, had it set in ring,
surrounded by diamonds. The
trouble about the fashion, however,
lies in the limited supply of Roose-
veltlan gems. 1t makes them, in
fact, wellnight priceless. 1t is
doubtful whether the President
would be willing to part with many
of his worries to serve as precious
jewels. He is apt to need them as
a matter of utility. If he gave
them up, what would he have to
gnash9 and what to grit9 What
would he have to show his enemies?
Hereafter, following the notable
example Of the aforementioned
adOrer, it might he IA wise prec-
autlon to preserve all infants
teeth. There's is always some
infant or other who is bound to
become President. C ourier-

"BUffALO BILL" IS COMING.
Fresh From European Triumphs,
The Wild West Is Once More
Touring America.

After touring Great Britain and
Continental Europe for the past
four years, Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Congress of Rough
Riders of the Worlds home again.
Arrangements have been perfect
ed for the exhibition to appear in
this city on Thursday September rs.
Exactly as given in Madison
Square Garden, New York City,
when the show opened it's tour this
Spring, the performance will be
presented without curtailment or
changes of any sort.
Buffalo Bill has been abroad so
long that his home coming affords
what is practically anovelty arenic
entertainment. During his alb
sence the little folks have grown
into youths and young ladies and
those Of us who saw the exhibition
years ago will take equal interest
in seeing it all over again. There
will be real novelty provided in
many features of the programme
and Tor the homecoming tour of
this foremost among arenic institu-
tons, two spectacular features
have been prepared AS special at
fractions.
During the four separate tours
of Europe which Buffalo Bill has
made, he has presented his histOri-
cal entertainment in eighteen diff
ferent countries, before crowned
heads and plebeans, and in a vast
majority of instances where an
English-speaking person was a
rarity. But in all his. travels he
has depicted the conquest and
eventual civilization of the Indian
and has presented scenes of histor-
ic events with unfailing fidelity
and with success which has as
founded the skeptical. He has
done more than any other Amer
lean to open the book of our early
history before the eyes of Euro
peans and they have looked with
admiring eyes upon the wonders
there unfolded.
While the exhibition will be
practically new this season, the
display will, of course, conform to
the general style of entertainment
which Col. VIM. F. Cody ("Buf-
falo Bilr") has alwayspresented.
The topping features of the
programme will be the pantomimic
melodrama 1.-The Great Train Hold
Up" and 1.-THE Bandit-Hunters
of the Union Pacific" together
with THE Battle of Summit
Springs"
The Congess of Rough Riders
of the World will constitute an i'm
portant factor in the exhibition
and will present a display of eaues-
trian eXpertness and an exhibition
of nerve, skill and manly daring
which is sure TO excite enthusiastic
admiration.

said. hundreds of psychologists labor
daily to find means of preventing dis
ease in hogs.
The diseases of human beings are

on the bacteriology of hogs in one year
than it does on the bacteriology of man
in twenty-five years. 1t is true they
are doing something for men. They

was to be expected, since Chicago still
was in the experimental stage. He

ameer of Afghanistan, at a large sal

a handsome present in addition to the
salary. So often was this bonus NEIL

something magnificent. When the con-
tract expired the ameer summoned him
and, with an important and mysterious
air, presented the American with Il
package containing a cheap American

THE BAlEFUL STRAWBERRY
Sulkiness, Rash and Headache Caused
by lt-Safety Limit Twelve.

Hygienists who delight in raising
alarms against popular foods are now
fitting against strawberries, says Il
London special cable dispatch to the
New York Sun. These are accused of
having Il bad effect upon the tempcrs
of their eaters, who. it is alleged. be-
come sulky and irritable after eating
them.
y hygienist is quoted as saying that
ladies are particularly susceptible in
this respect Some of them will eat Il
pound or more of Strawberries at n
time and then become so morOse that
people are glad TO avoid them.
The fact is. they are physically i'll
without knowing it. They are suffer
ing from the strawberry disease, the
symptoms of which are slight dizz-
ness, desire TO be alone and intoler-
ance of being questioned.
The Strawberries which have the
worst effect are the large Nasty ones.
The small kinds. with seeds on the sur
face. are usually harmless. The trou-
bic is asCribed to the strawberry acids,
which cream does not mollfy. Indeed,
the fruit is more wholesome without
| cream or sugar, and nobody should eat
| more than n dozen at n time.
EuStace Miles. the tennis player. as
a vegetarian dietist confirms the dan
ger to some persons from Strawberries.
He says they contain three acids.
