HIAWATHA

Quite from its dramatic interest Is
the educational value of the moving
pictures of "HIAWATIA," particu-
larly the dance of the Medals, Medi-
cine Men, while Minnehaha is dying.
It requires the utmost tact to per-
suade the Indians to do this sacred
dance before the camera, as few
white men have ever been permitted
to see it.
The fact that their faces are COW
cred with medicine masks, so that no
member of their tribe knows who did
it. alone makes it possible for Mr..
Moore to have it done.
Nothing would induce them to
do the Feather Dance in public, and
the So called False Face Dance ranks
second to it.
An other valuable contribution to
our knowledge of their customs is the
funeral of Minnehaha. When the
women have prepared the body for
burial, it is stealthily taken out of
the back of the wigwam, so that the
evil spirits may not know of her de-
parture, and then it is borne on a
bier to a distant part -of the forest
and placed among the branches of a
hemlock tree, far above the reach of
marauding animals. Then for four
nights a fire is lighted under it to
light her soul upon her journey to the
Island of the Blessed.
One well known man wrote after
seeing the first projection of the pic
lures: "From now on / can think of
Hiawatha, Minnehaha, Nokomis,
Iagoo and Pau-pau- Keewis as men
and women have known. So vivid
ly have the moving pictures present
ed them to my eyes, that the lines of
Longfellow's great gift" At the

GOOD NEWS
Many Mt. Sterling Readers Have
Heard II and Pr0fited
Thereby.

"Good news travels fast" and
the back back sufferers in Mt. Ster-
ling are glad to learn where relief
may be found. Many a lame, weak
and aching back is bad no more,
thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our
citizens are telling the good news
Of their experience with this tested
remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
"One of the family suffered from
pains in the back and kidneys and
had other symptoms of kidney com
plaint," says Mrs. c. c. Schooler, of
I Jamison St., Mt. Sterling, Ky.
HE used Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Duerson's Drug Store, and
they made him strong and WELL"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

that Mrs. Schooler recommends.

One loafer will stir up more
trouble and discord than twenty busy
men. And a loafer does not always
talk small scandal; he dips into pub
lie affairs, religion and everything
else. LOafers are not always poor
chaps, who have overworked wives
at home. Many of them have money,
and these are the most mischievous
loafers in town They make more
trouble than the poor loafer because
more attention is paid to what they
say. A good deal of the trouble
complained of is stirred up by loaf
ers; it is pity that we have so
many. When men have nothing else
to do, they abuse each other, or the
town in which they live.

As predicted in our last issue the
Contest Board composed Of County
Judge Chenault and Magistrates Nc
Cormick and Boyd, decided the con
test instituted by d. N. Young and
others in favor of the "drys." In
anticipation of an adverse decision,
Judge Lewis Apperson, counsel for
the "wets," had the proper papers for
an appeal all ready and the process
was Immediately served appealing the
case to the Circuit Court.
1t is the contention of the
prohibition advocates that the super
sedeas issued from the Circuit Court
Clerks office cannot now delay for
lnoger than sixty days the enforce
ment of the peoples wishes as ex-
pressed in the election. Formerly
the status that existed Immediately
before the election could be continued
by supersedeas, not only during the
tendency of an appeal from the Con-
test Boards decision, but also while
an appeal was pending in the Circuit
Court and Court of Appeals. The
"drys" contend that the Act of
March, 1914, does away with this eff
feet of "a supersedeas in such cases
and that the status desired, as shown
by the County's vote, must now be-
gin not later than sixty days after
the Contest Boards decision.
If this position is right, the
City Council will not have power to
grant any saloon licenses for the next
year. All such licenses now in force
expire on December 31st, and the
sixty days will end only three or four
days later. Some contend that the
sixty days time began last County
court day, October 10Th. 1t loks as
if the situation might bring about le-
gal proceedings for the purpose of
compelling the City Council to grant
licenses.

FARM LANDS IN DEMAND

There never was time when farm
lands were in such demand as at
present. The high prices and ready
market for all kinds of farm prod
ucts and live stock, and the COM
parative ease in which man can
support his family on the farm has
brought men to realization of the
advantages of farm life. Better
mail service, better schools, the tel
ephone and many other modern con-
veniences in the country have also
added to the back to- the-f farm
movemet. And those who ought to
know say that land is cheaper now
than it will ever be again.

UNION ST0CKYARDS AT
CHICAGO CLOSED

The Chicago Union stockyards, the
largest cattle market in the world,
which has been in continuous bust
ness since 1865 was ordered closed
Thursday for several days because
of the prevalence OF the hoof and
mouth disease among cattle.
The stockyards, it was officially
stated, probably will remain closed
ten days. The closing order went in
to effect at the close of business Fri
day, November D, and Will continue
until the opening Oh business on the
second Monday thereafter, Novem-
Der To-
The immediate effect of the sus-
pension order will be to stop the
shipment OF cattle, sheep and hogs to
the Chicago market, which amounts
to almost lOO,OOO head daily.
This alone outside OF the meat
packing industry amounts to a daily
business of $1,2OO,OOO and affects
$4,000 employees.
The finding in the stockyards that
600 cattle taken from various points
had been affected and the belief that
the contagion had spread to various
parts of the wards made the imme-
date action necessary.

ChenduIt'S Selection
Is Not Confirmed
Mr.. John r. Thomas Nominated For
Road Engineer But Fiscal Court
Refuses to Concur.

At last Wednesdays meeting of
the Fiscal Court, County Judge W.
O. Chenault nominated for the office
of County Road Engineer, Esq. j. X.
Thomas, one of our best known and
highly esteemed citizens of the How
ards Mill neighborhood. It was ex-
planned to the members of the Court
that Mr.. Thomas had not yet taken
the examination before the State
Highway Department, but would do
so if his selection was acceptable to
the court. Upon this hypothesis his
name was submitted and on a roll
call all six of the Magistrates voted
not to confirm the Judges selection.
This leases Mr.. Jno. S. Wyatt, the
incumbent, in office, as he holds until
his successor is chosen and qualified.
Under the law it is the individual
prerogative of the County Judge to
make this selection, but his choice
must be confirmed by the Fiscal
Court. He cannot choose him indie
pendent of the Magistrates and they
cannot vots-for any one whom he
does not nominate, but have the dis
cretion of voting to confirm or reject
any one whom he does so nominate.
When the Magistrates voted unan-
imously in opposition to the confrma-
ton of Mr.. Thomas, Judge Chenault
made no other nomination and the
meeting adjourned until the regular
meeting in December, when the sub
ject may or may not again be brought
up by the e-nomination of Mr..
Thomas or the nomination of some
one else.
This anomalous situation is due to
the peculiar wording of the new road
law, which authorizes the County
Judge to appoint county road en-
gineer "by and with the consent of
the Fiscal Court" just when the
present deadlock will end is therefore
predetermined.
Esq. Thomas is a gentleman Of ed
ucation and culture; has heretofore
held offices of confidence and honor,
having been a member of the Ken
lucky Legislature during the memoir
able long session following the adop-
ton of the present Constitution and
more recently member of the Mont
gomery Fiscal Court from the fifth
district, and always acquitted himself
with credit.
His many friends throughout the
county deeply regret his rejection,
feeling that he would have readily OBJ
tanned n certificate from the State
Board and made satisfactory pub
lie official.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Back
achy or have Bladder
trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated
and when the weather Is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the chan
nels often get irrltated, obliging you
to get up two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and blad-
der disorders disappear. This fam
Gus salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice. combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder
irritation. Jad Salts Is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful
effervescent lithia- water drink which
millions of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kid
ney and bladder diseases.

WHY ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS

Acid In the stomach is dangerous and
frequently fatal, because acid from its
corrosive nature has a natural tendency
to destroy the mucous lining of the
stomach itself, No one Intentionally

present in large quantities as the result
of food fermentation in the stomach re-
shifting from the chemical action, which
So frequently follows the eating of the

Indulgence In any form of alcoholic slim
ulants, including beer, wine. liqueurs etc.
This fermentation causes pain uneasiness
mud discomfort because of the acid, which
burns like red-hot IRON and the forma-
ton of gas which distends the stomach,
causing shortness of breath and palpita-

clans have adopted with marvellous sue

after eating or whenever discomfort is
