GOOD HOME MADE
BLOOD MEDICINE
Makes the Kidneys Filter Out
the POisOns
Mix Il Up Yourself; Cleans the Blood
of All Impurities and Makes
You Feel Better.
ACTS GENTLY AND is HARMLESS

A leading journal in answering
the question, "What is the best pre-
scription to clean and purify the
blood" prints in a recent issue the
following: Fluid Extract of Dande-
lion one-half ounce, Compound Kar-
gon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla three ounces. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal, and at bedtime.
A well known local druggist who
is familiar with this prescription
states that it is harmless. being COM
posed of vegetable ingredients which
can be obtained from any good pre-
scription pharmacy.
1t cleans the blood of all impure
ties and nourishes the blood. In
just few days the skin begins to
clear of sores, boils and pimples. 1t
puts vigor and energy into rundown.
|debilitated men and women. For
many years Sarsaparilla alone has
been considered a good blood medi-
cine. But while it built up and made
new blood. the impurities remained
within and the good. accomplished
was only temporary. Sarsaparilla,
however, when used in combination
with Compound Kargon and Extract
Dandelion works wonders. This COM
bination puts the kidneys to work to
filter and sift out the waste matter,
uric acid and other impurities that
cause disease. 1t makes new blood
and relieves rheumatism and lame
back and bladder troubles.
This prescription is better than
the usual patent medicines. which
are in the most part alcoholic con-
coctions. The ingredients cost but
little. They may be procured from
any good pharmacist and mixed at
home. Every man and woman here
should make some up and try 1t IL
they feel oheir s1scem requires a
good blood medicine and tonic.
The Kargon to clean the kidneys
and vltalize them so they can clean
the blood, Sarsaparilla to make new
rich blood and Dandelion to tone the
stomach, clean the liver and make 1t
active and relieve constipation Is the
way the prescription acts and so
mildly and gently that one does not
consider they are taking a medicine.

ROUSTERS
ARE AFRAID OF FINDING CORPSE
THEY SEARCH FOR.
Drop Garments of Dead Man in Rive,
To Locate Position of Floater
i'm River.


Dragging for the body of the col
ored coal "toter' who was drowned
Saturday night. has brought out
many amusing characteristics in the
rousters. Yesterday afternoon the
dragging was resumed and the rous-
ter in the skiff who was holding the
line, suddenly felt it grip something
at the bottom of the river. His eyes
began to bulge and he stayed with
the line until the object got near the
surface of the river, then it was too
much for him. In profound fear he
sprang from the skiff to the wharf
boat, lighting on his stomach on the
edge of the boat. and was pulled
from that precarious position by fell
low rousters. His superstitious fear
of dead body made him take such a
precipitate course. A little later one
of the older rousters, who evidently
ndu Soihc dutnOIllJ dnOuS the Otu
ers. asked If they had the coat of
the drowned rouster. They did. and
1t was brought forth. He said that if
this was dropped in the river on a
line with the point where the rous.
ter fell in. it would float to that
spot and either Immediately sink or
whirl around In a circle. His in
structions were followed and the coat
hoated down the river toward the
spot 1t was thought the rouster had
fallen in. Sure enough the coat
stopped and sank out of sight amidst
the 'there-I-told-you-s exciama-
lions of the old rouster. The rest of
the rousters on the wharfboat grew
restless at such an omen but further
dragging failed to bring up the body.
THESE and numerous other super
|stitions were tried without success.

responsible for the fact that, munich

"Air Car Leaves"

The "air car" left Paducah this
morning at 1850 o'clock for Louis
Vile after having examined 33 en-
gineers. II is not made public how
many succeeded in passing.
1.-The mistake made by firemen
who have served their time is that
they believe they can study up on air
and the handling of trains in a day
or two and pass the air examina-
|tions," remarked an official. "This
is something hard, air becoming con-
|stantly more complicated daily be-
cause of the many improvements
added. Many young engineers fail
on first examinations because they
do not prepare soon enough, and the
only way to tell those unsuccessful
is to watch the left hand side of the
cab. If they are still handling the
shovel. you may know they failed"

II is only a vari-colorei emblem,
bearing some historical significance

wear and tear of time and use. Yet
any sighting alluslon to 1t calls

done most for it, love It and vener-
ate It most. The soldier, who has
been taught to salute his superior
officer, because the insignia of rank
indicates some authority under the
flag, exhibits his respect publicly for
the colors, and cherishes it in his
heart
In some way, these outward forms
of reverence beget a spirit of loyalty

We have not enough patriotism.

patriot would accept a bribe for his

Home rule, or nothing, says Ire
land. Nothing. is the reply of the
British government, at least for this
session of parliament. The present
government has spent more time on
the Irish question than on any other.
The Irish Nationalist have consist
emily supported the government, be-
cause 1t has been disposed to be
friendly. The cabinet almost split on
the question of autonomy for the
Emerald Isle. The result seems to
have been compromise, which was
in reality step toward home rule.
Indeed, the first impression from the
attitude of Irish members of the
government. was that the program
would be carried out, and that Ire
land, while not entirely satisfied
with anything short of complete con-
troll of local affairs, would accept the
half loaf and bide her time for the
rest of 1t. But Ireland, through the
NATIONALIST convention, mas SpOheh'
and in no unmistakable terms. Not a
word in behalf of the unfortunate
measure was breathed. The only dis
cord in the convention was an eff
fort to make of the opposition to the
bill a church affair. The effort was
promptly squelched it was Ireland
that spoke, and the governments bill
will be allowed to die of neglect. We
are too far away to speak with au-
thority on the wisdom of Ireland's
decision; but we are not too far
away to applaud the independent
spirit, that demands everything or
nothing.

CONTRACT GRAFT.
Laid Bare in Testimony Before Com

New York. May a. After testi-
flying before the commissioners of ac-
counts today that Borough President
Ahearn first begged him to retire to
save Mr.. Ahearn's scalp, and then, in
despair promised him a generous
share Of profits from city plumbing
contracts as the price OF retirement.
William Dalton, who recently was
removed from the Office of commits
sioner of public works, was branded
by Mr.. Ahearn either as a man be-
reft of reason or liar. The remarka-
BILE disclosure was made that the
firm of Ryder & O'Brien, which does
the city plumbing under private con-
tract. made as high as 1000 per
cent on some of its work. 1t was this
firm in which, Mr.. Dalton swore, Mr..
Ahearn agreed to give him large
interest as soon as death should
come to Patrick Ryder, former leader
of the fifth district. Mr. Ryder is now
critically i'll. Mr.. Dalton testified that

dent Ahearn to accept tickets from
corporations doing business with the

Fame is a queer word. II is doubt
full If the greatest men of ages past
received as much contemporary no
tice, as do the least of them nova
days. For instance, there is Joe
Chinn, whose name is a household
word, because he reads the Christian
Herald. Joe was summoned as juror
in the Haywood case and was dis
missed as prejudiced on account of
reading the Herald Joe's fame is
ephemeral, to be sure. We doubt
whether even now, after a brief four
weeks, many people remember the
secretary of the floor polishers inter-
national, of Chicago, who wrote to
President Roosevelt a bitter letter of
for classifying him
with Hartman. These names will
not go down into history, but we haz-
ard the prediction that they will be
preserved in family scrap books for
the edification of posterity.

cago, who belongs to the same local
of the commercial union as the West

working conditions with the company
are unsatisfactory, took advantage of
the situation and quit work in body
