Was Born April Il, l777.

Monday, April u, was Henry
Clay's birthday, he having been
born April II, 1777.
Among those who have become
shining marks in our State, Henry
Clay stands easily at the head.
And in the Nation he had few
equals and no superiors.
From his early manhood he was
our leading citizen; and always a
statesman of National ideas. He
made Lexington and Kentucky
prominent in the issues of the day.
He was substantially the founder
of the Wing party, with whose
fortunes he was identified as long
as he lived. And the Wing party
expired very soon after its distin-
guished leader.
Abraham Lincoln said: Il learn
ed my political principles largely
in the school of Henry Clay. And
the Republican party largely sue,
ceeded the old Wing party"
Mr.. Clay died June 5, 1852, be,
ing little over Is years old.

DISTRESS FROM
UPSET STOMACH.
Also Misery from indigestion
laniSheS ) Minutes Later.

Take your sour stomach-or
maybe you call it indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Cartarrh
of Stomach; it doesn't matter
take your stomach trouble right
with you to your Pharmacist and
ask him to open a 50-cent case of
Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat
one 22-grain Triangule and see if
within five minutes there is left
any trace of your stomach trouble.
The correct name for your
trouble is Food Fermentation
food souring; the Digestive or
gans become weak, there is lack of
gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become af-
fected with loss of appetite, pres
sure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn,
gripping in the bowels, tenderness
in the pit of the stomach, bad
taste in the mouth, constipation,
pain in limbs, sleeplesness, belch-
ing of gas, biliousness, sick head
ache, nervousness, dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and
nothing tempts you, or you belch
gas or if you feel bloated after
eating, or your food lies like a
lump of lead on your stomach, you
can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there is but one
cause-fermentation of undigested
food.
Prove to yourself, after your
next meal, that your stomach is as
good as any; that there is nothing
realty wrong. Stop this fermen-
tation and begin eating what you
want without fear of discomfort
or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting
for you. 1t is merely a matter of
how soon you take a little Dia-
pepsin. 3S-4t.

Nicholas county Jared better than

Save Your Fowls.

Mrs. J. ID. Cox, Lawrenceburg, KY,
the noted breeder of Mammoth Bronze

b. Sweeney called me over the telephone
and told me that her turkeys were all
sick and several of them down and unable
to travel. She said she believed she was
going to lose the whole flock and asked
me if could do anything for them. /
sent her a ffty-ceut bottle of BOURBON
POULTRY CURE and told her how to
use it. She never lost a single turkey
and they were all sound and we'll in a
weeks time have been raising fancy
poultry for fifteen years and find this
remedy the best | ever used. l have a
hundred turkeys and give them BOUR~
BON POULTRY CURE twice a week
and never think of such thing as hav-
ing a sick fowl"
BOURBON POULTRY CURE works
alike on Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks,
Geese and all the fowl family. A few
drops in the drinking water keeps them
healthy and free from disease. Sold by

Night Riders Get Busy in In
diana.

Night riders are terrorizing land
owners and tenants at Washington,
Ind. Twenty men on horseback
visited tenants and informed them
that if they paid greater rent than
one-third of the crop raised their
crops would be moved down be-
fore they become ripe. Some of
tenants were threatened with vio-
lence.
Farming machinery belonging
to three tenants were destroyed.
Thomas Taylor, a wealthy land
owner, received by mail a package
containing powder and matches,
with a note of warning of what he
might expect if he insisted on one
half crop rental. A few days ago
a stranger entered a store and
asked the merchant for reduced
prices on all the buggy whips in
stock. This is taken that the rid
ers intend to administer a hogging
to some tenants who will not heed
their warning.

DON'T RAISE TOBACCO
Is the Advice of Commissioner of
Agriculture Rankin.

Commissioner of Agriculture NJ,
G. Rankin declares it to be his
firm opinion that the farmers of
Kentucky should stop growing to-
bacco, and should turn their atten-
ton instead to raising corn, wheat
and live stock, to the end that the
State will become prosperous, the
land richer and more fertile and
the children better educated. This
conclusion Commissioner Rankin
has come to, he says, after nearly
eighteen months of study.
IF the farmers will devote as
much time and attention to the
raising of the things | have sug-
gested as they have to growing to-
bacco, it is my belief that in years
to come Kentucky will be the
richest State in the Union. There
is no better land and soil in the
United States for crop and stock
raising. If | had been fortunate
enough to learn when a young
man, what | have learned since |
have been in this office, | doubt if
there ever would have been a crop
of tobacco raised on my farm.
Farmers can make mole mon
ey if they turn their attention to
stock raising. Tobacco has been
raised so long and constantly in
the Blue Grass counties of Ken
lucky that the soil has been sour
ed and impaired, but with treat
ment it can be brought back to a
good quality, and that is what /
am going to do with my land.
Therefore | say, no more tobacco
for me, but it will be stock raising
in the future"
Commissioner Rankin owns one
of the most valuable farms in
Henry county. He would not
raise any tobacco on it this year,
were it not for the fact that he
bound himself by agreement to
permit few acres to be planted
by tenant. There will be but
six acres planted on the farm, and
much of the land that has been
used for the hurley weed in the
past will be plowed in May, har.
rowed and worked just as if were
being cultivated, until August.
when it will be sown in alfalfa. In
this way Mr.. Rankin expects tc
get a good stand of alfalfa, and
then he will begin raising stock
and continue at it throughout the
remainder of his farming career.
Commissioner Rankin believes
that much of the illiteracy in Ken.
lucky can be traced to the grow
ing year after year of tobacco.
Children are taken out of school
in the early spring, he says, tC
assist in the planting, when they
should be studying their lessons.
If corn and wheat and live stock
were grown it would not'be neces-
sary to take the children from
school before the regular schoo
term was out.
Commissioners Rankin is one OF
the original organizers in Ken
lucky of the American Society OF
Equity, and was at one time &
leading official of the State branch
of the organization.
