How Is Your
Digestion Today?
IF it isn't right-heres reason The reason iswrong eating
-ndgested food Kodo will digest the food and rest the
stomach. 1t removes cause and "the reason"

That is the ideal Simply use reason. Don't
starve yourself--eat plenty of good, wholesome
nourlshing food. But eat it at the proper time,
and in the proper way. Starving or dieting never
cured anything-or prevented anything.
Don't worry, eat what you want-Kodol VIII
keep your stomach right.
Nature planned that we should take food to sus-
tain life But what If the food does not undergo
the essential processes Of conversion into the ele-
ments required by the organs and tissues? Ma
tur's entire scheme is frustrated, at the outset.
Here is where Kodol steps in and sets Natures
scheme right again. It does this by completely
digesting all food for time. Nature then rests,
heals and cures the digestive organs-and they
resume work After that you don't need Kodol-
until you put your stomach wrong again.
Our Guarantee
Go to your nearest druggist and purchase dol
lar bottle and if you honestly say you did not
receive any benefit from it, after using the entire
bottle the druggist will refund your money to
you without question or delay.
We will then pay the druggist the price OF the
bottle purchased by you. This offer applies to the
large bottle only and to but one in family.
Don't hesitate, every druggist knows our guar
antee is good

tablishing a new colored industrial

tive gathering of Lexington business

more enlightened policy and better
educational methods will cooperate

new RURAL
ROUTE FOR CLARK
Will Run BY Way of AIlensviIIe Road
Other Changes in
Routes.

The seventh rural route in this
county has been established. 1t goes
from this city by the way of the Al
lensville road. passing Tulip, Hunt,
and Bloomingdale to the Mouth of
Red River, retraces to a point on the
top Of the hill, thence in a northerly
direction to Trap, thence west to the
city.
The distance to be travelled is 20
miles. This is an unusually long
route and all of the road is not good.
1t was through the efforts Of Con-
gresham John w. Langley that it
was established. Starting the SER
vice has been delayed because the
funds appropriated for the current
GEAR for rural delivery are exhaust
ed. -
This is by far the most important
route in the county, and will supply
patrons that now have very poor
mail facilities.
A petition has been filed with the
department for establishment of
that part of route four that was
discontinued from Trumbo's Corner
to Clmtonville. The extension of
route five on the Bybee pike has not
been passed because of a false i'm
preston at Washington that the new
route seven reached that territory.
The matter is now before the de-
partment with the false impression
removed.
There is also petition on file for
an extension Of route six from
Schoolsville to Thomson's Corner.

Auditorium for the big Broom Ball
game that will be played to night

this city to bring the team and a
number of rooters, the rink at Lex
ington will not open there tonight.
1t is expected that there will be be-
tween two and three hundred visi-
tors from the Fayette capital. The
special train will arrive at z as and

NIGHT RIDERS BURN
ASSOCIATION TOBACCO
Apply Torch to Factory of Member
of Growers Society at
PenrOd.

PENROD, KY, Dec. 16.-Night
riders pulled off a new stunt here at
o'clock yesterday morning by burn
ing the tobacco factory of Lewis
Kirkpatrick and $4,000 pounds of
tobacco owned by the HI. N. Martin
Leaf Company, of Louisville, which
had purchased the tobacco from the
association.
A few days ago the Martin Com
pany purchased 100000 pounds of
tobacco from the Muhlenberg County
Association and it was being handled
by Mr.. Kirkpatrick, who is an asso-
citation man. The cause of the act
of the night riders is a mystery.
The Tobacco was valued at $1,000
and was insured. The loss on the
factory is $4,000, with no insurance.

NO TRACE OF PILOT
VIEW BURGLARS
Men Who Robbed Store of Mr.. S. D.
Chism Seem to Have
Escaped.

The burglars, or burglar who broke
into the general merchandise store
of S. d. Chism at Pilot View Mon
day night seems to have made good
their escape as so far the police
authorities have been unable to get
any clue whatever of the guilty par
ties.
Bloodhounds would have been
used to trace them if they had not
used red pepper to cover up their
trail. The use Of red pepper by
thieves to evade trail being set on
them by bloodhounds after they have
committed a crime seems to be the
latest wrinkle in the burglary pro-
fession.
The country store at Pine Grove,
this county, was broken into a few
weeks ago and red pepper was used
there to keep down the trail.

Col. Francis Flournoy Jackson, one

drought Of good with many a tear
of bitterness. He had to flee from
his fathers house. No greater ca
lamity can befall a boy than that
of being driven from home, out from
under a fathers influence.
He never saw his mothers face
again. How sad for child to be
deprived of a mothers prayer and
affection if she be the right sort of
mother. He had to wander over des-
erts. He was cheated by his kins-
man, he lived to see his own sons
murderers and went down to his
grave In sadness.
Application.
Never do wrong that good may
come. 1t was Gods plan for Jacob
to be great but he was not to be-
come great through deception. So
you must depend on your own abil-
ity to pass your examinations and
always 'Do what is right, right
things in great and small, then
through the sky should fall sun,
moon and stars and all, you shall
have light"
Never do things in the wrong way,
not even gain your rights by fraud
or deceit, never seek to promote
good cause by the devils methods.
Jacob received "but only by long
and toilsome steps and Slow" by
clouds and storms where there might
have been sunshine.
1t is time as In Longfellow's lad
der of st. Augustine that "of our
vices we can form ladder if we win
tread beneath our feet each deed Of
shame"
But how much better to climb up
