SILYBRWARE
MAY HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM
DODD RESIDENCE.
Common Drunk Identified as Sneak
Thief, Though He Denies His
Guilt.

In the arrest OF Tom Commonly
who gives Cairo, H.. as his home,
the police believe they have the man
responsible for several OF the thefts
In the city this week. He was ar
rested for drunkenness early yester-
day morning, and last night Chief
Collins got the tip that Carmondy
had peddled silverware.
Mrs G. T. Sullivan Identified him
as the man that robbed her house
Monday afternoon. and. Fireman
Terry Coleman said he resemble
the man who ran by the FIRE station
after the window Of J. l.. WOLF had
been smashed.
From a negro on Washington
street Chief Collins recovered the
following pieces of silverware: Four
spoons, a sugar gneil, two sugar
bowls, syrup stand, a hand mirror
and a small clock. IL was thought
that the articles we're those stolen
from the Sullivan residence. but Mrs.
Sullivan said they we're not her prop
erty, and now the police are search
ing for the owner OF the property,
and Carmondy may be guilty of an
other robbery. With the exception
OF a ID" engraved on the handle OF
the sugar shell the other articles OF
silverware are unmarked. IL Is
thought that the silver was stolen
from the residence of the Rev. VI. f.
Dodd. 1875 North Fifth street. who is
out OF the city.
Carmondy arrived in Paducah Mon
day. according to his statement. and
he denied his guilt when confronted
With the testimony. II Is said that
he has relatives on the police force
at Cairo.
The man tried to sell silyerware to
a number Of negroes and asked al
most nothing for II. The articles
that were recovered were sold to
negro for s2.50.

Prof. Walter Dill Scott relates a
personal incident in one of his books
which illustrates how unconscious
most people are of the influence ex-
erted upon them by newspaper adj
lvertising. He says that for some
years he has been seeing the adver-
tisements of a certain tailor. Not
long ago, for no apparent reason
other than that he needed a suit OF
clothes, he entered this mans shop
and proceeded to be measured. He
was waited upon by the proprietor
himself, and was asked whether
some one had recommended his COM
ing there. Promptly he replied that
some one had. Then, as he left the
store, Mr. Scott tried to recall just
who had recommended the place,
and he couldn't remember that any
one ever had. His conclusion was
that he had seen the advertisements
so often that he had actually for
gotten where he got his informa-
ton about the store. and fully be-
lieved that some of his friends had
told him that this tailor was a par
ticularly trustworthy one.
''If he had asked me-" DR.. Scott
comments, whether l had been in
flunced by his advertisements or not,

She says:
Partisan Sage is the only hair
tonic that ever benefited my hair,
which was very thin on the top Of my
head. | began using Partisan Sage
and used II daily for a while, after
wards used 1t according to direc-
tons. | am absolutely positive that
IL will thoroughly cleanse the scalp
and hair, stop irritation, eradicate
dandruff, stimulate the growth OF the
hair, prevent badness. and make the
hair soft and silky. / would not be
without Partisan Sage. Mrs. Sue
Johnson. 22s 4th ST.. Frankfort. Ky.
Partisan Sage is a most delicately
perfumed hair dressing and has not
particle of sickness or greasiness
in II. 1t will not stain or dye the
hair and contains nothing that would
lnjure any hair or scalp
II is the only hair preparation that
is absolutely sure to kill the dandrufi
germ which DR. Sabourand has proven
to be the cause OF all hair troubles.
Women who desire beautiful and
luxuriant hair that will attract and
fascinaie. should use Partisan Sage
