'.BREV STEERS MlLLlONS'
 COMING HERE

"Brewster's Millions the amaz- ing success of the past year m Ne" York and Chicago, will be present. ed at the Elks Theater next Tuesday night.
 The managers, Conan and Harris, declare in note on the program that they leave it to the audience to decide whether the play is farce, melodrama or tragedy. The drama tiZation of M2Gathchcon book does not touch very strongly on either the comic or the tragic, but while 1t lasts it does amuse. The storm at sea. showing a yacht being pitched about is most effective bit of realism.
 The plot of .Brewster's Millions offers opportunity for any amount of amusing situations. An uncle leaves a young nephew about to commit matrimony, fortune of sev en millions one of the conditions be- HE lnau lie spend a lllllllOu uOlldIS in year and incur no legal femin- inc responsibilities. He must keep the proviso a secret. and the efforts to spend his money while his friends endeavor to stop him from what they believe is an insane course. furnish es some very lively incidents.
 The play IS most elaborately stag ed the yacht scene in the third act being pronounced as the most novel and massive bit of stage mechanism ef3er attempted. The cast is also claimed to be up to the usual Cohan and Harris standard which means a first-class performance in every de- tall

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
 OF JEFFERSON COUNTY

Without wishing 10 influence your votes for ether of the other candi. dates, for circuit clerk, and with no personal malice to MT. 4. F. AIcNei', l wish 10 make statement as foi- lows: simply that you may judge of his democracy, and hence his claiIc to democratic support.
 In 1908 was the regular demo- cratic nominee for constable of Bar raque township, having won the nom- ination fairly, before the white dem- ocralc voters of the township, at the regular primary election. that nomina- ted county and township officers.
 Messrs. Harwell and Matthews were the nominees for justice of peace, at the same election. At the general election following MT. McNeil. who Is now asking the democratic nomina- ton for circuit clerk, ran as an in- dependent candidate for constable and defeated me. This was done, l charge, with the negro voters of the town ship, and caused the defeat of one of the democratic nominees for justice of the peace. in the township. by ne gro republican. Tom Mingea, by name.
 An analysis of the vote of the town- ship will show this 10 be true
 Barraque township has two votins precincts, VIZ Redfield and kearney. Nearly all of the negroes voted at Kearney. less than dozen voting at Redfeld

At Redfeld.

You will see that Matthews. the defeated democratic nominee for mag istrate and myself ran together, at each place and that McNeil and the negro ran together.
 .An analysis of this vote shows such a close parallel between the vote at each place in the vote cast for Me Neil and that cast for the Negro re- publican candidate for justice of the peace, Tom Mingea, as to leave nc uoubt in an unbiased mind that tho same or practically the same votes were cast for each.
 This statement of the votes is !a|en from the returns of the General Elec- tion as certified to by the E'ectio, Commissioners, and nine tenths of the white voters of Barraque township. will bear me out in my deductions
 Of course this is free country, and a man may do as be pleases. so  white man knows the need of party loyalty, in this section, and when q man asks for a party nomination he should have a clean record IS to party loyalty, and no stain of coni- vance however remote with the negro republican clement in politics.
 give this statement out 10 the Democrats of Jefferson county, so that you may judge for yourselves just how much MT. McNeil is entitled to your support.
 l have no interests as between the other candidates, but do feel that any man who asks a democratic nomi- nation, at the hands of his party, should show clean party record. and not have even suspicion of collision with negro Republicans to defeat re- gular Democratic nominees.
 Respectfully yours for Democratic principles T. H. FORT. 1929 to 12-l

IS ISSUED
BY INSURANCE MEN
Experienced Fire Inspector Gives Timely Hints to Avoid
Danger During Christmas Holidays, and How
to Be Prepared to Fight Blaze.

So great is the danger OF fire at this
season in department stores, schools,
churches, and homes that insurance
men and hremen have issued special
warnings and lay stress on several seri-
GUS fires that have occurred In different
parts Of the country because OF holiday
decorations and unusual methods Of il
Eliminating, either by candle or imper-
fectly insulated electric wires.
Here are the recommendations OF one
experienced fire inspector as given in
Insurance Engineering:
For schools and CbIrches-Sheet tin
or zinc should be placed under every
Christmas tree to catch candle drip
pings. sand water or fire extinguish-
ers ought to be kept I'm the most con-
yenient place for instant use. Exits
should be marked with red lights and
Kept clear. Every Santa Claus costume
OF flannel or other quIck-burufnE ma
terial, with its cotton batting trimmings
and its false wig and beard. should
be dipped in a solution 10 make # fire.

proof. No gathering Of children should
be permitted unless every known pre-
caution against fire and panic has been
taken by those in charge.
For private dwellings and apart
meuts-Before the candles are lighted
on the trees see that several pals are
fllod with water in the. kitchen. They
may be needed IN a great hurry. Use
cotton batting sparingly OF, better still
not at all.
Fire will flash over this material and
start a big blaze in less time than it
takes 10 tell about it. It burns with
great heat because each fibre Of the
cotton serves as a tube to carry oxygen
for fresh combustion.
Have good-sized rug handy. IF the
clothing of any one gets afire do not
attempt to beat out the flames with your
hands, hut wrap the person in a rug
and press down firmly everywhere to
smother the flames. a gas flame will
set fire 10 paper or muslin even though

patton. In my opinion constipation
Is responsible for most ailments. There
ara thirty-two feet OF human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clOggeds the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing biiousneSs, in

produces rheumatism and kidney air
