NOT ALL BEER ADVOCATES.
(From address by Miss Anna A. Cor
don, president OF the National W. G. T..
u, before the senate judiciary subcom'
mittee. May ~
One Of the speakers at the hearing
on April 25 stated that all Germans
are drinkers. We are sorry our Ger
man friends do not know that many
hundreds OF German women In this
country are members Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, and In
Germany we have n splendid following
OF thousands Of total abstainers, band
cd together In national society OF abb
staining women Of Germany affiliated
with the Worlds Woman's Christian
Temperance union. The white-ribbon'
ers Of Germany have for their presi'
dent the great-grandniece OF the gal
liant Gen. Won Blucher, who led the
allied forces with Wellington In the
famous battle OF Waterloo.
We are surprised that our German
friends did not allude to the most con-
spicuous figure In the fatherland. EN-
peror Wilhelm, whose good advice TO
the naval cadets to let alcohol alone
has everywhere been noted and CON-
mended. Evidently the kaiser believes
as we do, that the naval defenders OF
q great country must be total abstain
ers II they are to reach the necessary
degree OF efficiency In service.
The gentleman also asserted that
Won Moltke was a drinker. We know
that he was total abstaner. Won
Moltke said, Beer Is far more danger
Gus to Germany than all the armies
OF France" Our German friends
claimed that beer has great food value.
Germany's famous chemist and sci
enlist, Liebig. many years ago de-
clared There Is more nourishment In
the amount OF flour that can be held
on the blade OF a knife than there Is
in a quart Of the best Bavarian beer"
All Germans do not agree with the
speaker that beer should not be
classed with alcoholic liquors. 1T is
Just this precious beer" writes DR..
Max Gruber, president Of the Royal
Institute Of Hygiene at Munich,
which lowers the intellectual capacity
and willpower OF thousands and thou
sands OF people and makes them old
before their time, ruins stomach, liver,
heart, and brain; brings them into the
poorhouse and prison, hospital and
asylum, and early puts them under
the earth"

The Proposed Pike from James
town TO Columbia.

Russell Springs. Ky. July 26, II.
Editor News
Permit us through your columns, TO
call attention to meeting of citizens
of Russell county held here yesterday
evening. It's object was to consider
the matter of building a turnpike
road from Columbia to Jamestown by
way Of Russell Springs. AS is doubt
less known to many Of your readers, a
road has recently been completed
from Jamestown TO the Cumberland
river at the mouth Of Greasy Greek,
and the building of the proposed road
would, besides connecting the three
towns of Columbia, Russell Springs
and Jamestown, give all of them the
river connection. \ pike line from
Columbia to the river has for a long
time been regarded as desirable, and
it's Importance will be increased when
! the government constructs another
/ lock dam on the river, which would
doubtless be fastened by the building
of the road. ROllin Hurt ESQ, and
! Ii. &. Baker, who are stopping here
temporarily, were present at the
meeting, but they were not able to
speak for the Adair county people
with any certainty, as the proposition
has not been discussed in Adair. The
Russell county people believe the road
can be built, and IL seems from the
expressions at the meeting, that they
will do their part-and act promptly
In order TO get the matter before
the public, it was arranged for pub
lie meeting at Columbia on Monday
August the 9Th. county court day
and il is hoped that the enterprise
will be put under Roadway at thi'
meeting,
The construction of this road woulC
mean in the way of material prosper
ity very much To each of the counties
and the progressive, public spirited
people of Adair should not be slow Il
join hands with the sister county o
Russell.

Death Of John Hancock.

Mr.. John Hancock, SOD Of Dr. and
Mrs. n. NJ. Hancock, Cane Valley,
died at the home of his parents last
Wednesday morning. The deceased
was thirty-two years old, and young
man highly respected in the communi-
ty where lie was reared.
For several years he vas connected
with the office of the l.. & N. Rail-
road Company at Corbin, and it was
in that city he was stricken. The
first of week before last he was renew
ed, OH a cot, from Corbin to Cane
Valley, but he failed TO improve and
the end came peacefully.
He was consistent member of the
Christian Church and was q Jealous
Mason, being a member Of Tampico
Lodge, the Chapter at Corbin and
Marion Commandry, Lebanon.
Tampico Lodge marched in a body
from the Lodge room TO the residence,
where the usual ceremony was held in
the presence Of the family. From the
residence the body was conveyed to
the Christian church where the funer-
al discourse was preached, in very
tender and impressive manner, by
Ed. Z. T. Williams, who paid high
tribute to the life and character of
the deceased The church was crowd
ed with relatives and sympathizing
friends.
At the close of the services at the
. church the procession was again for
med, marching to tie cemetery.
where the final ceremony was said by
w. II. Purdy, H. S. McErOy, Hugh
Murray, T. NJ. Estes. representing
, Marion COmmandry.
{ Sir Knight Purdy. who is the Com
mander of Marion Commandry, also
acted as Prelate, and from memory,
recited the beautiful Knights Templar
ceremony laid down for such solemn
occasions. 1t could not have been,
more appropriately written neither
could il have been more impressively
said. The rendition was certainly a
great comfort to the SOrrowing parents
brothers and sisters. Masonry does
not claim to be religious organiza-
ton, bnt all who heard the ceremony
given by Sir Knight Purdy and Sir
Knight McElroy were bound to con-
clude that its principles are so inter-
woven with religion as to make the
two, the greatest of all institutions,
close kin. The floral Offering of
Marion Commandery was also beautiful
as well as many flowers sent in by
friends
May God comfort those who nave
been so sorely berefb.

cream is the finest thing in existence
for the skin.
At one time steaming was advocat-
ed, but l find by investigating the
methods used in a certain beauty
parlor in a large city, that it has
been found to make the skin fabby
and wrInkled. The face is cleaned as
stated and cold water, even ice, is
used.
The face should not be washed in
side of an hour before going out as it
is apt to chap and tan. But the
cleanliness should not only be with

woman can hope for nice complexion
who allows the food eaten to remain
in the body for days at time; all
the time creating obnoxious gases
and elements to be taken into the
system by thousands Of little glands
in the intestines that are determined
to work. If they can't find their
legitimate substance they have to
take up what they can find. How
can such elements create rich, red
blood to build up the body, tint the
face with the bloom for which we
long?
Women are prone to put off the de-
will try to finish a certain task;
others are too lazy to create habit
of internal cleanliness. Every woman
owes it to herself to form habits of
punctuality. The result can not be
overestimated, for with health comes
happiness.
The matter of fact woman has been
reading and thinking along this line.
She has discovered many things;
among them this fact that she can do
much for herself without the aid of
drugs. Don't mistake me; [ believe
in the use of medicine, not the abuse
She has found that the continual use
of a laxative is Of no permanent bene-
fit; that the use of powerful cathartics
leave the bowels weak and the walls
dry which condition will not permit
the waste matter to pass along readily
that the stomach becomes all out of
condition and a general feeling of
weakness comes over her.

the room is so full of fresh air that
you can really taste it. Wiser people
than we have proven that we won't

about letting the air in. If human
