tension still exists between the Greek
and Bulgarian armies facing each 9TH
er some distance north Of this city.
Several clashes during which shots
were exchanged occurred in the past
two days. The Greeks accuse the Bull
garians of assuming the aggressive.
In spite of the declaration made at
the Bulgarian capital that the Bull
garian troops have been ordered to
observe a moderate attitude and to
avoid conflicts with the Greeks, the
Bulgarian commanders apparently are
preparing to attack Eleftheria with q
view to gaining complete occupation
Of the dominant position Of Mount
Panghaion. They have already placed
guns on the cresrs Of the hills to the
southeast of Prava, commanding Elef
iberia. The Bulgarian troops have
also occupied the heights commanding
the village of Bujuktu, to the south
Of Lake Doiran and the town of the

cLARK's ANNUAL FISH FRY.

Winchester, Ky.-The annual Clark
county fish fry was held here. This
unique form of entertainment is Pc
culiar to Clark county, and is so DEM

The people who participate voluntarily,
furnish the fish and other provisions
including liquid refreshments. There
is no assessment, and no one ever
knows just how the thing is done.
And yet no one ever goes away hun
cry or dry. The assembly will be held
on Howard's Lower creek, just above
what is known as Kits hole, where
there is an abundance of water. There
are usually a number of guests from
other sections of the state, but mono
are invited. Congressman J. Campbell

collector in the Seventh district, Ben
Marshall, attended.

Are You Subject
TO Constipation
Here is q Simple Wy of Cor
s-ecting it Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.

Very few people Sc through Il life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
iniure themselves by the use of
strong catharties, salt mineral wa

have temporary value in some cases.
it is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsln. It does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine 1t is SO
mild that thousands of mothers give
It to tiny infants, and yet it is SO COM
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic CON
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
It is fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly In the
house, homes like those Of Mrs. G. B.
Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used DIR. Cald-
