Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many

trouble is, he is on the verge of .
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep

Of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa

ham, Ala, says:
Il have been suffering w;th nerv-
Gus prostration for nine or ten
years. Have tried many of the best
doctors in Birmingham, but they all
failed to reach my case. I would

If you are troubled with loss of

You may not realize what is the mat

THREE COMMISSIONERS TIPPED
Dispute Arises As to the Appointive
Power Of State Executive, When
Announcement Is Made.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paducah, Ky.-The Paducah custer
suit decided recently by the court OF
appeals started what promises to be a
bitter legal fight, which again may
terminate in the state court. Follow
ing the announcement that Gov. Stan
ley would appoint Mayor Ernest
Lackey to succeed himself, 1t was
learned that he had selected George c.
Wallace to succeed himself as city
commissioner, and had decided on s.
H. Winstead and Sanders e. Clay to
and C. L. VanMeter. The court of ap-
peals ousted Mayor Lackey and City
Commissioners George G. Wallace, T.
N. Hazelip and G. L. VanMeter, hold
ing they were elected fraudulently.
The governor is expected within the
next day or two to announce officially
the appointment of the commissioners,
When the action of the governor was
learned John X. Hendrick, chief coun-
sci for the plaintiffs in the custer suit,
said the governor had no legal author
ity to make the appointments, such
power resting with City Commissioners
L. A. Washington, who was not affect
ed by the litigation. Attorney Hen
bricks has been searching law books
ever since the officials were ousted
and he said the law was plain that
Commissioner Washington, the only
remaining official, was vested with the
appointive power. He said no men,
ton of the governor was made by the
statute, therefore he clearly was in
error in making the appointments.

TOURED CENTRAL KENTUCKY
Very Much Impressed With State az
Field for Archaeological
Researches.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lexington, Ky.-Prof. A. M. Miller,
dean of the College of Arts and
Science of the University of Kentucky,
has received a letter from H. G. Nel
son, of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, New York, which states
that archaeological researches will be
made next fall in the limestone region
of Central Kentucky. The work will
be at the expense and under the arch
geological department of the museum
and will be conducted by Mr. Nelson,
who was in Lexington in May and,
accompanied by Prof. Miller. visited
several caves and rock shelters in Gen.
trail Kentucky. Mr.. Nelson then left
for New Mexico to undertake investi-
cations similar to the ones that will
be held in this section.
When here Mr. Nelson was much
impressed with the rich field for arch
geological discovery in the Bluegrass
region. The investigations will be done
mostly in the caves facing toward the
south, as these we're the ones in which
living creatures are supposed to have
sheltered themselves during the cold
ness OF the glacier period.

BIG HORSE SHOW PLANNED
Feature of Agricultural Commence
nent Of entueky University.

Lexington, Ky.-Recognizing that
the horse is important to Kentucky,
and that the College of Agriculture is
doing a great work to increase its
value, horse show is proposed as one
of the features of the annual COM
mencement week at the University of
Kentucky. The department of animal
husbandry Of the Experiment Station
and Agricultural College has underta-
ken to draw up an attractive plan.
The proposition at present is to have
a horse show during two afternoons Of
commencement week. using the ath-
letic field as show grounds. The exhi-
bition will be for all classes under sad
die or In harness. with competition
open to all of the country. and with
suitable prizes and program.
AS Kentucky is the greatest horse
state in the Union, and Lexington a
center of the horse industry, display
could be arranged. it is said, excelling
all others. The plan owes it's origin
to the desire of university authorities
to make commencement week appeal
more generally to public interest and
particularly the alumni.

10000 persons were in line. while fully
10000 were attracted as spectators. 1t

The demonstration. however, had
been brought about with only three
or four days preparation and without
the expenditure OF money or the aid
OF wide advertising and excursion
rates, and represented. the promoters
say, the spontaneous outpouring OF the
people in. support OF the principle. The
procession was stream OF moving
banners which flowed between the pa
triotie decoration OF the buildings and
the waving flags OF the spectators.
