Actual Starvation.
Perry & Thomas Give Facts
Regarding Dyspepsia.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do rot
thoroughly understand their cause and
how to obtain relief. There is no rta-
son why people should not eat any .
thing they desire-if they will only
chew it carefully and thoroughly.
Many actually starve themselves into
sickness through fear OF eating every
good looking. good-smelling and good
tasting food, because it does not agree
with them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. II
we refuse every article of food that dis
agrees with us, before long We have
nothing left, and find ourselves chron-
ic dyspepties.
We are so confident that We can fur
nish relief for Indigestion and dyspeL-
STA that Ne promise to supply the medi-
cine free OF all cost to every one who
uses it according to directions who
is not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits. We exact no promises and put
no one under any obligation what
ever. Surely nothing could be fairer.
We are located right here where you
live, and our reputation should be
sufficient assurance of the genuineness
OF our offer.
We want every one who is troubled
with indigestion or dyspepsia in any
form to come tc our store and get a
box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take
them home, and give them a reasona-

Must Eat Less.

Lexington Gazette: The commits
sary general of the army finds that as
compared with last year the cost Of
the soldiers ration has gone up from
1855 cents to 2l-5 cents a day, an in
crease of IS cents, or nearly 10 per
cent. This means that the u. s. will
pay out more than 81 500, 900 for
food for its army this year than it did
last. The government can tax us
poor devils and get the money. Ii
the great increase of the cost of liv-
ing keeps up, the rest of us will have
to eat less or get a cheeper grade Of
food. The trusts have done all in
their power to put up the price on
everything and this has been largely
increased by the most iniquitous tariff
bill ever enacted.

AFTER all, there is but one great,
ever present, narrowing, always-at-
the-elbow tragedy, and that is proven
ty. Men and women die and are
mourned in due season, but thereafter
are forgotten; great political or eco
nomic crimes are committed and ma
tions stand aghast for the time being;
battles and murders, more or less
grewsome, harrass US with their de-
tails as they are given in the public
prints; great wars may devastate i'm
mense territories and convert fields
of sunshine into worlds of mourning;
but, always, irresponsible to the tu-
multi OF the lIimes, unfeeling of the
smaller griefs that encircle all about,
there stalks abroad the CHASTITY, bone
ereaking creature. poverty. Poverty
is murderer Of mems souls and their
intellscts, which is vastly worse the
being a mere murderer of bodies; it is
the'Great Grim Specter that is the
haunt of youth and the evil messen-
ger of old age. 1t is the eternal tor
ture and mental damnation rolled into
one and served kissing hot before the
Parching palates Of humankind.
There would not be much need of
Riches in Heaven but for Poverty on
Earth.

THE Climax wishes to again impress
upon the voters Of Richmond the i'm
portance of voting for the school
bond issue. We have published facts
and figures to show the Importance
Of furnishing more and comfortable
quarters for the children, and are
satisfied that any one who, as a rule.
stands back on voting for bonds, will
vote for this issue if he will only stop
and consider its Importance. The
education OF children is a duty no one
should try to avoid, and, any man
with a thimble full of sense knows
that it is wrong and cruel to house up
children in uncomfortable and made
quate quarters. The fact Of comfort
is alone enough to make one vote for
the bonds, and, when better results
can be obtained is proof enough to
convince anyone of the importance Of
having adequate and comfortable
quarters. The manner in which this
money is to be raised works no hard
ship on anyone, as the bonds run for
several years aud the increase is trifi-,
ing. Think this over. gentlemen, and
we are satisfied that YOU win make
M YOUR minds to vote for bonds.

pleasure and sacrifiee,

An alert little five-year-old was visit
ing city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through in the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have a ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all and. as her mother urged
her. broke forth in tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
He was crying: "Come alongi Come

The deepest sympathy of every
newspaper man in the State goes out
to Editor John Pulliam, of the Har-
rodsburg Herald, who, last week, was
forced to shoot a man named Richards.
Robards, who was mentally un.
balanced, harbored the idea that Pull.
liam had wronged one of his relatives.
Every man who knows John Pulliam
knows that he never did such thing
However, his life was in danger, and
he was forced to do Just what any
other man would have done under
the circumstances. We never knew

tleman. and we join with legions Of
friends liz prayers for speedy recovery
from the wound received at the hands
of the party attacking him.

before the Court of Appeals in argu-
ing for a new trisl for Beach HargIs.
The Senator sizes up in his vigorous

speak and words that burn shows that
he is incompetent and unfit to. fill the
position OF circuit judge. 1t is Re-
publican estimate of Republican
Judge Adams is candidate for re-
election. and The Gazette hopes that
those who have intended to vote for
him will read Senator Bradley's re-

Owen Wants Duty on Crude Oil.

for tariff on crude petroleum
Senator Owen said:
"Oklahoma has an immense capital

many of which are small producers
that may be seriously injured, they
advise me, if this leverage is given to
the Standard. The independent pro-
ducers represent to me that the Stand
ard with it's fleet of oil boats will de-
liver cheap crude oil from Mexico
within our borders and reduce the
price of crude oil below the point at
which the Independent producer can
live, doing a ruinous harm to the pro-
duction of the oil bearing areas OF
Oklahoma and to the consumers of re-
fined oil in Oklahoma, because with
an unlimited supply of extremely
cheap crude oil in the hands of the
Standard that great organization
could break down the independent re-
finers, who have been growing in re-
cent years, and having destroyed this
competition would have the consumer
still more at the mercy of the Stand

represent the will of the people of my
state and to protect every interest of

quested the governor to advise me of
the sentiment of the people of our

AADAM GOD" WANTS
CHANGE OF VENUE
IMPARTIAL TRIAL COULD NOT BE
OBTAINED IN KANSAS CITY.
"Tkese Witnesses Say What | Did,
But Don't Tell What the Lords
Enemies Have Done"
Says Sharp.

Kansas City, Mo.-Following a mo-
ton for change of venue in the case
of James Sharp, known as Adam God,
charged with the murder of a police
man here last fall, nine witnesses
were placed on the stand yesterday
by the defense to show that fair
trial could not be given Sharp in this
county.
THE general impression is that
Sharp is religious fanatic, that he is
a crank and that he must be crazy,
is it not?' Prosecuting Attorney
Conkling asked several times on cross
examination. The reply was usually
affirmative.
Then if the defense is insanity he
has the people about half persuaded
already, and the prejudice is in his
favor" was the prosecutors state
ment
Sharp at one time arose, Bible In
hand, and interrupted the proceedings
of the court.
These witnesses tell about what
did, and nothing is said about what
was done by my enemies and the enc.
mics of the Lord" he declared
Judge Latshaw then explained tc
Sharp that he was not yet on trial and
that no jury had yet been convened
and the defendant sat down. The
prosecution will introduce testimony
today to show why a change of venue
should not be granted.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
