Loss of Appetite

Is the first signal of disorder and
decay. The usual loss of appetite
is often caused by functional dis
turbances in the stomach. The stom-
ach fails to do the work required,
the appetite is gone, and the BODY
suffers from lack Of nourlshmert.
Such a stomach needs to be cleaned
and sweetened. Meritol Tonic Dl-
gestive is made especially to assist
the stomach to digest food, and pro-
mote healthy appetite. This remedy
is sold on our positive guarantee, ano
we ask you to give it a trial. 1t Is
a genuine tonic. W. L. DeWoody &

Everybody is weary of the affair
Marconi, but it is impossible, in re-
view of the life of the man who is
now lord chief justice, to ignore it
altogether. Sir Rufus Isaac's speech
year ago, when he denied the stories
of his dealings in the shares Of the
company that was contracting with
the government, undoubtedly made a
very deep impression on the house
After hearing it 1 personally went
away prepared to swear that he had
never had any sort of dealings in any
sort of Marconi shares.
OF course, he did not say that.
Looking the speech up in Hansard,
after the rest of the story came out,
it was possible to see with what care
full lawyer-like precision he had not
said it. But the unfortunate fact was
that while, saying nothing that was
not entirely true, he had left his hear
ers with the erroneous impression
that he had bought no Marconi shares.
And the wrath of the members when
the whole facts became public caused
the cabinet of which he was member
a great deal of anxiety.
1t blew over. He and his colleague,
the chancellor, had acted carelessly.
heedlessly, mistakenly as Mr.. Lloyd
George put it, but not criminally, and
by passing no vote of censure the
house accepted their explanation.
While the transaction was innocent
enough, whether it exhibited in Sir
Rufus that clear sighted, well bal
anced judgment expected of lord
chief Justice is y matter for personal
opinion.
Though unimposing in style, Sir
! Rufus is distinguished in appearance.

London-Sir Rufus Isaacs, the new

every generation few people achieve
careers as remarkable and there is
nothing out of the way in a mans be-
coming lord chief justice if his in

those who rise to eminenee few have
pursued SO incalculable path. Less
than year ago there was quite con-
siderable demand for his expulsion
from public life; today he sits gu
preme over Britain judges.

the more lucrative profession of poll
tics and the bar, were entirely to his
credit as man. If unf1attering to his

him.
Unmoyed patience, astonishing grasp
OF detail and great ingenuity in cross

The assessment features of the tax

the real estate separate from the i'm

of the land in each locality will be
equalized. The commission estimates
that property generally in Kentucky
is assessed at about so per cent of its
fair cash value.
