Germs In Wallpaper.

A prominent American hygienist
is of the opinion that paper and tap
estry wall coverings in houses are
the preservation of disease germs.
On the other hand, walls covered
with stucco or good varnish, can not
only be readily freed from germs by
washing, but they possess the prop
erty of cleansing themselves sponta-
neously from bacteria lodged upon
them. 1t has been found that the
germs of typhoid, of cholera and of
pneumonia, when placed on such
wall. perish within twenty-four
hours, while on walls covered with
dry size, they survive for weeks and
even months. Dampness increases
and prolongs the danger.

TAKES TUMBLE
Denatured Alcohol Causes Big
Drop in Price of Wood
Product.

Since January there has been a
drop of 80 cents gallon in the price
of wood alcohol in the local whole
sale market. The price prior to jan
uary l was 70 cents. to-day it is quot
ed at 40 cents. The drop is due to
the new law permitting the manu-
facture and sale of denatured alec
hol. The law became effective jan
uray and the price of the wood
product Immediately began tum-
bling. The denatured alcohol has
not yet appeared on the market, but
it is expected within a short time.
1t is quoted, however. at 40 cents a
gallon in barrel lots. 1t is expected
to very largely display the wood pro-
duct, although a market for the lat
ter will probably always remain.

by applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear.
The is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by and in
famed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustacian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube resorted to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Virtues of Salt.

Common, ordinay table salt (sodi-
UNI chloride), has many virtues.
1t is one Of the best cleansers for
the teeth and gums. 1t is excellent
for the skin. and disinfeets wounds
and sores. 1t is good for dyspepsia.
1t relieves pain caused by bee stings
and spider bites. Land is greatly
enriched and grass is made to grow
by sprinkling salt on the ground.
Salt used when sweeping carpets
freshens them and keeps out moths.
1t will put out fire in the chimney,
as we'll as revive a coal fire. Salt in
the oven under baking tins prevents
schorching on the bottom. Salt put
on ink spots, freshly made, will re-
move them. Salt in water will re-
freshen cut flowers, and as head
wash will prevent the hair from
falling out.

"a COUNTIES DRY"
Temperance Has Increased In Old
Kentucky In a Remarka-
Bile Manner.
[En,abethtown News.J

The drouth in Kentucky continues
to spread. and there are now ninety
four totally "dry" counties out of
the total of 119.
Two months ago there were 81
dry" mites, but since then many
pcecinct and county elections have
been held to vote whether liquor
should be sold or not. In these.
twelve COMMITTEES have gone dry
and the only victory gained by the
"wets" was to carry the town of
Cloverport, in Breckenridge county.
The remarkable spread of tenn
perance in the Bourbon Common
wealth, the home and stronghold of
Kentucky whiskey. has been more
strikingly evidenced in the past two
weeks than ever before. In that
time eight counties went dry
Ballard, Logan, Pulaski, Lewis, Pen
-dleton, Greenup, Whitley and Todd.
The "drys" met with one disap.
pointment. Middlesborough, the
county seat of Bell county, is the on
ly wet" spot in the Eleventh Con-
gressional district. This district in
cludes the mountain counties in
Eastern Kentucky. where the moon
shine is supposed to trickel in con-
tinuous stream. An election was
held at Middlesboro two weeks
ago, and the "drys" put forth all
their efforts to carry the last citadel
of Demon Rum in the Eleventh.
They failed by a small margin.
There isn't a county in Kentucky
that is totally wet"
There are only four counties that
are approximately saturated. These
are Meade, jefferson. Kenton and
Campbell, along the Ohio River in
the northern part of the State.
Todd county, on the southern bor-
der, was wet" but the "drys" cap.
tured it in their recent raid.
There are ninety-four counties
without saloons, nineteen with sa-
looms at only one place, nine with sa.
Icons at two places, and six where
whiskey is sold at three or more
points.

ton work is well advanced and many

finished their buildings. The build
ing to be erected for Kentucky will
be of logs shipped from this State
and is to DO a replica of Daniel
Boon's Fort. The Kentucky build
ing will nestle in beautiful pine
grove on the shores of Hampton
Roads and overlooking the spot

tor and the Merimac occurred. 1t i:
said to be the finest site on the ex'
position grounds.

tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DIR. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 500, 10000 damages.

editor, maliciously published the article
