IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.
Gov. Wilson, of Kentucky, Between
Trusts and Night Riders.

Augustus Everett Wilson, govern
or of Kentucky, will incur the emnity
of thousands in his state if he puts
into execution his threat to veto the
McChord bill fOrbidding any trust to
carry on operations within the state,
or to employ agents therein. If this
bill becomes law the tobacco trust
will be placed at the mercy of the
tobacco growers, for it will have to
buy its tobacco through middlemen,
and its immense factories in Ken
lucky will have to be closed doyn.
Should he veto the bill it is declared
that it will result in civil war, the
planters declaring that the first law
of nature, the law of self-preserva-
ton, is to be obeyed rather than the
man-made-law of the land.
The difficulties encountered by the
governor in his endeavor to meet
the situation will be appreciated. when
it is stated that detective whom he
sent to Russellville appeared before
the grand jury with list of persons
guilty of night riding, and discovered
that four or five of those accused
were on the jury. The detective left
the important part of the story un-
told, and before he left town by the
earliest train he made a speech to
the farmers advising them in their
own interest to stand by one another
and fight the trust.

made strictly without smell or taste,
ranks high for the use of persons suf-
fering from indigestion or weak
stomachs
Prior to the enactment of the
Pure Food law cottOnseed oil was ex-
ported in large quantities and return
ed to this country as olive oil mixed
with it, and then sold at the price of
pure olive oil. The profit to the
adulteraters on the other side was
enormous, as the cotton oil sold for
46 cents gallon, as against $500
a gallon for olive oil.
Pure cottonseed oil, as obtainable
today under the protection of the
Pure Food Act, is preferred for salad
purposes to olive oil, it being read
lily assimilated and of lasting benefit
to weak stomachs.
Stearine, which comes from the
pressing of salad oil under ice, is a
natural butter by it's consistency and
taste. Nearly all of this is sold in
Holland to manufacturers of butter
inc, who ship it to England, where it
has a large sale.
Toilet soaps of the highest grade,
the use of which imparts to the flesh
the softness and smoothness of the
babes cheek, are made of oil from
the seed that was thirty years ago
/ looked upon as worthless.
Cottonsed meal with it's agreeable
nutty flavor, is, from the agricultu-
rist's point of view, the most impor-
tant, because it has proved the best
food for live stock. 1t enriches the
product of the dairy and imparts to
the cattle the smooth, sleek, glossy
hide so highly priced by dairymen
who take pride in the appearance of
their stock.
Thousands of tons of cottonseed
meal are annually used by tobacco
growers and planters in the Con-
necticut Valley, New England states,
Pennsylvania and wherever the priz-
ed weed is cultivated.
A fine, light-cOlored leaf that com-
mands the highest price results from

The American Cotton Oil Com
pany's products may be found in the
kitchen and on the table of every
civilized country in the world. 1t is

churches, and in lighing armies of
miners as they delve and burrow in
the secret places of the earth.

The Dublin Times prints this item,
which shows that things do not al
ways happen as planned:
I'm a town not a thousand miles
from Dublin it is said that the sup
porters of Smith had made elaborate
preparations to bury Brown and
his followers on the night of the
election. A coffin had been engaged
and appropriate signs had been or
dered from painter Speeches had
been prepared, and a great night
had been in anticipation. Of course
all the preparations went for naught.
The Brown men yelled themselves
hoarse, but no attempt was made to
rub it in on those fellows who might
not have been so considerate had the
result been different"

WORSHIP SNAKES IN INDIA
FESTIVALS HELD IN HONOR OF
THE WRIGGLING REPTILES.
Food the Wriggling Divinities Are
Likely to Fancy Is Placed at
the Holes Where They Live.

Likely to Fancy Is Placed at
the Holes Where They Live.
i Despite the fact that yearly thou
sands of persons in India lose their
lives from the bites of snakes there
are certain parts of the country
where the worship of snakes, espe-
cially the cobra, the most deadly of
all, is carried on. This form of
worship is especially prevalent on the
southwest coast of India.
Snake worshippers search for tue
holes where their divinities are likely
to be found, and which more often
than not are in the little mounds
raised by the kairaihs or white ants.
When they have found one they visit
it from time to time, placing before it
milk, bananas and other food which
the snake is likely to fancy. If a
snake happens to get into a house,
far from turning out the inconven-
lent guest and killing it on the
spot they feed it plentifully and offer
sacrifices to it daily. None is so
bold as to lay sacriligeous hands up
on it.
They are also worshipped at
shrines, there being in Travancore
alone no fewer than $1,000 to TO-
600 shrines dedicated exclusively to
the propitiatory worship of snakes.
These shrines are invariably in honor
of the minor divinities of the country,
some of them being of venerable age
and more than local repute and pos
'sessing extensive and valuable prop
critics for their maintenance and for
the cost of the numerous ceremonies
which their keepers have to perform
from time to time.
A curious fact in connection with
serpent worship in India is that it is
women exclusively who expect IA
vOrs from the divinitie propitiated.
In these shrines, which are usually
protected by a mud wall, the natives
set down fantastic idols of serpents
on a stone basement. One of the
most important of these shrines dates
back into the dim ages of history
1t is attached to the household of a
wealthy Brahmin. Here evey morn

penis are ! >thed and milk and fruit
are offered to them; at noon cooked
rice is offered, followed shortly by

CONSUMPTION NOT FATAL.
Indiana Doctor Puts the white
Plague" in a New Light.

Indiana Doctor Puts the white
Plague in New Light.
Consumption, next to cancer, the
most dreaded of death dealing dis
eases, was declared to be non-fatal
by Dr. c. H. Sharp, specialist, in
a recent address before the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. DR.. Sharp
made the broad statement that, in
his opinion and as far as he had been
able to discover, nobody had ever
died of consumption alone
Il know this statement will arouse
considerable doubt in the mind of the
average physician and layman," said
DR.. Sharp. However, | am convinc-
ed that the tubercule bacilli alone
never has caused death When a
patient is down with tuberculosis
the power of resistance is decreased
to such an extent that he is an easy
prey to score of other diseases
which soon make their appearances.
The proper cure for consumption
is to increase this power of resist
ance by building up the system as
much as is possible under the cir
cumstances. With this theory car
ried to it's logical conclusion be-
lieve that there would be no deaths
from tuberculosis"
DR.. Sharp, who is attending physi-
clan at the Indiana reformatory at
Jeffersonville, spoke on the general
subject of prisons. He advocated
more freedom and outside life for
the inmates of all penal institutions,
saying that such was the only health
full condition in which they could
live.

A thousand things pleasing, useful,

past thirty years emanated from the
frowzy cOttonseed, at ole time con-
sidered practically useless by the cot

chemists toiled to reach the goal of
