SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Somewhere down in Tennessee
near a postoffice called Bluebank is
an ambitious young fellow. who
wants to get job in Paducah as
brakeman on a railroad. County At
torney Alben w. Barley received
the letter from the applicant, and
although the statute does not re-
quire the county attorney to conduct
an employment agency. nevertheless
Mr. Barkley would like to accomo-
date the young fellow. In giving his
qualifications for the job the Ten
nessean showed lack of education
qualification or else he is untitled for
railroad service, for one Of his ad-
vantages was Il am clear of seeing
and hearing" No doubt he meant
that he had perfect vision and his
hearing was good. The letter read:
Barley. Dear Sir-I thought
would rite to you for inflammation. as
1 want to job in your town as brake
man on a railroad. My weight is
1876 pounds and ! am clear of seeing
and hearing. | would be glad II you
could give me some inflammation"
Probably the young man had heard
the railroad boom in Paducah, and
thought plenty of brakemen would
be needed, so he applied early.

Many interesting documents and
exhibits have been unearthed In re-
moving the papers and records from
the vault of the circuit clerks Of
flee while the new steel files are be-
ing installed. Some of the papers
are covered with dust. and have be-
come yellow with age, but the writ
ing is still legible. The earliest
records are dated 1925, as Me-
Cracker was made county In De-
cember, 1924, and the first circuit
court was held the following Jand-
airy. There are a number of pfc
lures and few exhibits that have
been kept on file so long that the

the cases in which they were used.
The present vault was constructed
about ten years ago, but was not
equipped in a modern manner. At
torneys Clay a Clay removed the
records. and will index and replace
the papers.

EXPELLED DR. COOK
Explorers Club Says Physician 1
Guilty of Fraud

CNPioTeTS OIup says fnySiClan is
Guilty of Fraud
New York, Dec. 27-The board of
governors of the Explorers cluD has
expelled DR.. Frederick A. Cook from
the rolls of the club for fraud prac-
ticed on it's members and on the pub
lie. Hard upon the heels of the
crushing verdict lately rendered by
the University of Copenhagen, the ac-
tion of the Explorers club is never
theless the result of independent in
vestigations which in no way touch
upon the Polar controversy and the
thus doubR cumulative.
Preliminary to it's vote of expul-
sion the board met to pass Upon the
report of its committee which has
been investigating the validity of DR.
Cooks assertion that he reached the
summit of Mt Mckinley This COM
mittee, in concluding an exhaustive
report, recommended that DR.. Cooks
claim that he assembled the summit
of Mt. Mckinley in 1906 be rejected
by the Explorers club as unworthy
of credence."

STOMACH FEELS FINE
Dyspepsia, Gas, Heartburn and lndi.
gestion Go Five Minutes Later


If you had some Diapepsin handy
and would take a little now your
stomach distress Or Indigestion would
vanish in five minutes and you would
feel fine.
This harmless preparation will d.
gest anything you eat and overcome
a sour, out of order stomach before
you realize it.
If your meals don't tempt you or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like lump of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart
burn, that is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take just
little just as soon as you can There
will be no sour risings, no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid.
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Maui
sea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizzi-
ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go and besides there will be no
undigested food left over in the sto-
mach to poison your breath with nau-
seous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out of order stomachs, because it
prevents fermentation and takes
hold of your food and digests
it just the same as if your stomach
wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all sto
mach misery is at any drug store
waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure almost any case OF Dyspepsia,
Indigestion or any other stomach dis
turbance.

though ! could tell 1t TO any three Of
them with a great deal of pleasure.

of Rochester in his trial. though had
but ten words to say. and that on a

time when | was with him at Brom-

row of lords (which was all | could

LUTHER BURBANK
ON CRITICS

Seattle, Sept Tt must occur
to every fair-mindei person that so
shrewd, practical and canny a man
as Andrew Carnegie would hardly
appropriate $1,000 a year for the
furtherance of my experiments If ]
we're the charlatan which some per-
sons evidently profess to believe
am"
This is the way in which the wiz
ard Of the plant kingdom, Luther
Burbank, while at the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition Thursday, replied
to the charges which have recently
ben made against him by the Cali
fornia fruit growers Mr.. Burbank
evidently does not take the charges
seriously for he concluded with:
However, l do not feel called upon
to defend myself at any great length
from any reflections which may have
been cast upon me. My work speaks
for itself and by what l have done
and am doing must be judged"
In referring to his recent achieve
ments, Mr.. Burbank said that he re-
garded the thornless cactus as one
CT his greatest discoveries. BY pa
tience, tireless selection Of the spe-
cies of cactus having the fewes)k
thorns, he said. he had finally evolved
the absolutely thornless variety.
while it hasn't as much nutrition
as alfalfa" said Mr.. Burbank, "it
has proved itself to be an economic
food for cattle that produces more
milk comparatively than alfalfa or
other fodder. The thornless cactus
is cattle food The average yield
Ut the cactus is 200 tons of leaves 10
the acre."
