Favored By All Persons WHO
Are IntereSted--MuCh Work
Done By House,

Kentucl<y's pure food law, which
has now passed both houses and
will 90 to the Governor for his
signature is regarded as a model
law of its kind. 1t has the odd
distinction of being favored by the
druggists, the foodstuff dealers
and the liquor men, all of whom
are regulated under its provisions.
The bill is modelled along the
same lines as the national food law
and will require the proper label
ing of all foods and liquors and
drugs so that the purchaser will
know what he is buying, and puts
a heavy penalty on the yiolators OF
the law or those who adulterate
food or drugs.

EIGHTY THOUSAND
ACRES PLEDGED
Reports Made to Burley Tobacco
Society.

At Winchester. KY, on Feb. H.,
the district committee of tn e
Burley Tobacco Society convened
with most of the counties repre-
sented. The session was mostly
consumed in hearing representa-
tives in regard to pledges to cut
out the crop of 1908.
The estimated acreage of the
hurley district is 10000 acres.
At the last meeting of the board
$4,000 acres had been pledged to
raise no crop in 1908. Reports
from the various counties show
that about $4,000 acres have been
pledged and enough promised to
make between 10000 and 100, 900
acres. Three hundred hogsheads
were sold for export and 1852
hogsheads to an independent buyer.

Chinn'S Case Remanded.

Senator Jack Chinn of Harrods.
burg, is well pleased over the
decision of Judge Cochran in re-
handing the case of Chinn against
a pill company, to the State Court
at Harrodsburg. The Senator
from Mercer was notified that the
case had been remanded on the
ground that the Federal Court
did not have jurisdiction, and
Senator Chinn hopes to get a
verdict. His picture was used
along with a testimonial from him,
recommending the pills. Senator
Chinn not only never authorized
the use of his picture but also
never wrote any recommendation.
He filed suit for $685. 900 damages
and secured service on one of the
agents of the company when that
agent was in Harrodsburg. The
case was transferred to the Federal
Court but now goes back to be
tried by jury in Mercer county.

NOn-PartiSdn Tariff Commission

In Washington, ID. c., Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, delivered
an appeal to the Senate to adopt
his bill providing for a non-parti-
san tariff commission, plan
which he declared conformed to
modern business ideas on this sub
iect.
The tariff is fixed by facts; how
to get at these facts is the first
question in the whole tariff prob
lem. Common sense and expert
ence answer that question; we
should create a body of experts to
find out these facts for us. These
men should be the fttest men
that can be found; they should
give their whole time to this work
and lay before us the result of their
work.

A RELIABLE
SPRING MEDICINE
Recommended to the People of
Mt. Sterling.

At this season of the year there
is hardly a man, woman or child
in Mt. Sterling who does not need
medicine to purify and enrich
the blood, to induce an appetite,
to promote digestion and create
strength, and we are safe in saying
we have never sold anything in
our store equal to the cod liver
preparation, Vinol, for this pur-
pose.
The reason Vinol is so far supe-
rior to old-fashioned cod liver oil
and emulsions is because it is
made by a scientific, eXtractive and
concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, combining with pep
tonate-of-iron all the medicinal,
healing and building elements of
cod liver oil, but no oil.
AS spring medicine and a body
builder and strength creator for
old people, delicate children, weak,
run down persons, and after sick
ness Vinol is unexcelled, and you
know what you are taking.
Mrs. Rose Lavigne, of Burling-
ton, VT, writes: ''Vinol is the
best spring medicine | have ever
used; it creates an appetite, puri-
fes the blood and takes away all
lassitude."
We could go on quoting from
hundreds of such letters, but sim
ply ask the people of Mt. Sterling
to try Vinol this spring on our
guarantee to return money if they
are not benefited.

Building Operations And The
Timber Supply.

Cement and steel and brick and
stone are not yet used in sufficient
quantities to encourage lumber
users to predict the time when the
forests will not be called upon to
furnish the principal materials
used in building operations. The
last reports of the building opera
tions in fOrty-nine of the leading
cities of the United States show
that 80 per cent were of wooden
construction.
Even if the remaining forty-one
per cent of the buildings were
built of brick, stone and concrete,
vast quantities of wood are con-
sumed both in the construction and
in the finish, though in the latter
form, is taking the place of wood
to a very large extent. This
percentage does not include the
large quantities of lumber used in
the thousands of small cities and
towns.
The average cost of buildings is
constantly increasing, having risen
over three hundred dollars during
the last three years. The average
value of a building is given in the
report as S2,035.

EASY TO MIX

ingredients Well in Bottle.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article

paper. giving a simple prescription,
as formulated by noted authority,

positive remedy to cure almost any

taken before the stage of Brlghts
disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
sparilla three ounces. Shake well
in a bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and again at
bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at

prescription, stated that the in
gradients are all harmless, and can
be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy
or the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription Is often
presided in rheumatic affections
with spledid results, he could see
no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and
urinary troubles and backache, as
it has peculiar action upon the
kideny structure, cleansing these
most important organs and help
ing them to sift and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste
matter which cause sickness and

SLAUGHTER of Robins in Louisiana.

At New Orleans the announce

have been killed by hunters this
winter in Louisiana, which is a
winter home for these birds, was
made by Frank M. Miller, presi-

ciety. George Howell, a Govern
ment expert there to investigate
the habits of robins, said that the
Government may prove that the
eastward movement of the boil
weevil has been facilitated by the
reckless destruction of robins.

BIG CATCH OF RATS.
Fbliy Seventy-Five Rodents Slaugh
tered Friday Morning.

AS the champion rat catcher, w.
x. Bedford of Waxahachie is entitled
to, chrome. He has made a num-
ber of big catches lately but he ex-
ceeded all previous records Thurs
day night. Fully seventy-fve of the
rodents were bagged and Friday
morning there was a regular rat kill
ing time on the courthouse plaza.
Hundreds of rats make their home
under the business houses of the
city, and they are especially numer-
Gus on the west side of the square.
Mr. Bedford has undertaken the
task of eXterminating them and so
far has succeeded reasonably we'll.
Some time ago he constructed a
large wire cage in which he placed
an ordinary wire trap. This trap is
securely fastened in one end of the
cage so that the rats may pass
through the trap into the cage. He
keeps this contrivance in his res
taurant on the west side of the
square. Friday morning the cage
not only contained goodly number,
but they were packed in the smaller
trap like sardines in box. The trap
was taken to the courthouse lawn
where it was emptied of it's contents,
one at a time, and the dogs which
had been engaged for that purpose
soon put an end to the rodents. The
slaughter of the rats furnished
amusement for large crowd of men
and boys.
