Use Cottolene
for cooking

When you shorten or fry your
food with butter 1t is needless ex-
travagance. Butter is too expen-
sive for use anywhere but on
your table. If butter were really
better, would produce better re-
suits in cooking, you would be
justified in using it, but it won't.
Cottolene is fully the equal of
butter for shortening; it is better
for frying. 1t makes food rich,
but not greasy, because it heats
to a higher temperature than lard
or butter, and cooks so quickly
that the fat has no chance to
"soak in.'' Cottolene is more
healthful than lard, and you only
need to use two-thirds as much
as you would of either butter or

Are Opposed by League

Opposition to prayers and chaplains In
Congress was expressed by the Wash

OF separation of church and state are

ginning Of each session.

BRYAN CALLS FAITH
BIG FACTOR IN LIFE
Secretary of State Tells Men,
at Mass Meeting, That 1t Is
Essential to Success.
G8

That faith is the greatest factor in life
without which nothing could be done
and nothing believed, is one of the dec
larations made by Secretary of State
Bryan at a mems meeting in the Colum-
bia Theater yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Bryan took as the subject of his dis
course the one word Faith
Long before the time set for the begin
ming of the address. the theater was
filled. and before the meeting began
men were turnad away from the doors.
DIR. wallace Radcliffe delivered the in
vocation and the Scriptural reading was
by the Rev. Paul B. Warrington, pastor
OF the Maryland Avenue Baptist Church.
Dean Gregory, of the George Washing
ton University Law School, presided
over the meeting.
Mr.. Bryan declared that faith in re-
lision was only one of the functions of
faith.
There must be faith in everything
he said, .'or that thing in which there
is no faith will be of no account There
must be faith in business. faith in un-
dertahpgs. great or small. and faith in
physical tests. The consciousness that
We are prepared is what gives us our
strength and the consciousness that we
are not prepared is what makes us
weak
Faith In Fellow Men
In order TO gain success we must not
only have faith in ourselves. but faith
in our fellow men. The man who has
not faith in his fellow man and no
sympathy for him has heart that has
shriveled up, and he is going back
ward. not forward"
That God is still angry over the de-
lection of Adam and Eve. and has mad
no intercourse with man since he BAN
ished our first parents from the Garden
of Eden, is the statement made by
Evangelist G. B. Raymond yesterday
afternoon before the Washington Tenn
pie Congregation. The subject of the
sermon was I'm His Steps" Mr. Ray
mond declared that because Of The
transgression of the divine laws by the
first parents there was no hope for
humanity except through Jesus Christ"
The Rev John Van Schaick. pastor Of
the Church of Our Father, showed the
Various guises in which Truth may ap-
pear. last night In his sermon on The
Countless Right Ways"
We can sympathiZe withtpeople who
heal by exclusive systems whenever
they do good. but We could never join a
cult which declares that all diseases
arise from one cause and should be
cured In but one way" said DR.. Van
Sclisick. There Is no one way in any
thing. The laws of God are infinite in
number and variety"

Religious Systems Essential.

In sermon at HamIine Methodist
Episcopal Church last night. the Rev.
Joseph NJ. NJ. Gray declared that re-
Iigious systems were essential to So
ciety.
There is some inexoTable connection
between social morals and national sta
bility,'' he said; between religious In.
stitutIons and political health. The per-
manence of people depends upon the
temper of their religion and the con-
duct of their society. The question Of
the sabbath is not vital to the existence
of religious systems, but il is vital to
the life of the social order
The Wife In the Family Circle was
the subject Of the sermon by the Rev.
Samuel il. Woodrow, in the First Con-
gregational Church. The sermon is the
last of a series to be delivered by DR..
woodrow before leaving to take charge
of the Pilgrim Congregational Church.
Before the congregation left the
church last night DR.. and Mrs. Wood
row were presented with chest Of
silver, in anticipation of their silver
wedding, which comes next November.
In Washington, as in other cities
throughout the country. aid was asked
for the educa ton Of the Southern
mountain children. The Southern In
dustriai Educational Association is back
OF the movement, and personal appeals
were sent to every minister in the city
TO give some portion of the services
S0Dserday to an appeal for funds.

we think, can reasonably conclude that
it is the worst sort of libel.
No truthful person will knowingly
circulate SANDER, nor will any news
paper worthy of the confidence of the
reading public purposely or with reck-
less Indifference circulate libel.
The whole purpose of the article was
evidently to prejudice the minds of
any reader of it in favor of Governor
Beckham's candidacy for the Senate
and against Congressman Stanley.

of Beckham's friends in this section,

ere. the ink is dry on that edition of
the Post.
To all persons responsible for that
dispatch, if it really was a dispatch
from anywhere. except from the pen
of a reporter in the office of the Post
in Louisville, we demand that you
come out from under cover and let us
take a look at YOU and hear your name.
The public would like to know you.
During our civil war, those persons
who shot at the enemy from ambush
and then sneaked and skulked away
under cover were called Bushwhackers.
Such individuals were the most de-
spised of all who had any part in the
bloody conflict and were held in con-
tempt by both sides.
All who were caught in such nefar-
eous business were punished by death
without trial or benefit of the clergy.
That bastard article in Governor Beck
hams political organ, the Louisville
Post, that no person has the courage
to own, is political bushwhacking of
the most contemplate sort, and We
submit to the public whether such
methods will find favor with the right
thinking and highminded democrats of
Kentucky. We do not believe that
the cause of any candidate for office
will grow in popularity through such
contemplate methods even though the
candidate himself be not personally
responsible for it.
We now request the Louisville Post,
the leader of Governor Beckham's
fight for the Senate, without recount
ing your political irregularities in the
past. since you are now claiming to be
democratic and would like to influence
democrats to accept your candidate
for their nominee, TO come up and be a
man. Come and make known the name
of the one who sent that Special from
Danville, though the author himself is

ortlonate part Of the increase in the
amount of tobacco that has been sold
over the Lexington market. We have
sold several crops that averaged around
eighteen cents, but these were better
than the average crops.
The average of all the tobacco sold
on the Lexington market is Sl2.32.
This average does not represent the
price Of an average crop. as great
many farmers have been selling their
low grades and damaged tobacco. be-
cause these grades were especially
high. A good average crop would sell
for about Sl3 80. The last week be-

baccos were 81, 90 higher than they had

After a somewhat romantic court
ship of ten years. the wedding of Net
tie Park Wagers and William Joseph
Wilson was quietly solemnized at the
home of the bride SCI west main street
Richmond, Kentucky. Thursday after
noon December 18th. Due to the ill
ness of the brides grandmother only
the immediate relatives of the young
couple were present. Rev. f. b. Barn
es, of Richmond. officiated.
To the pealing strains of the we'd
ding march. Mendlesohns. the blushing
bride and groom marched slowly down
the stairs and stopped beneath the
archway between the parlor and hall
way. where they were joined in happy
wedlock, the wedding march was most
creditably rendered by Miss Elizabeth
Wagers. cousin of the bride.
The bride was beautifully gowned in
cloth suit of blue, with hat to match.
The parlor was handsomely decorated
with palms and ferns.
Immediately after the wedding the
young couple left for the home of the
groom's parents who reside near Paint
Lick in Garrard county, after short
stay there they will go to house-keep-
ing at Kirksville, XIV, where the
groom is employed in the mercantile
firm of J. & c. p. Wagers.
The charming and attractive bride is
the eldest daughter Of Jonah L. Wa
gers, well known business man Of

son of George M. Wilson, a prominent
farmer of Garrsrd county; also grand
son of Capt. John Wilson, of the
Eighth Ky, Infantry, who raised the
flag on Lookout mountain after the
battle above the clouds.
The young couple has been beauti-
fully remembered by their many
friends and relatives. We ali join in
their happiness and wish them UNI

fields that the future may unfurl to
them.
