to be Given Away by
The Advocate May 20.

With this issue of The Advo-
cate is inaugurated a most stu
pendous newspaper undertaking
which for its lavish generosity,
for its monumental and genuine,
wholesouled desire to meet its
thousands of readers and friends
more than half way, has never
been surpassed in the history Of
journalism in Knox County.
Conceived in an atmosphere of
bigness and planned upon a
gigantic scale, The Advocates
mammoth venture is fittingly
characterized as the grandest
opportunity in generations for
its innumeral friends to partici-
pate in one of the greatest vo-
ting contests ever thrown open
to the people of this county.
CONTEST LAUNCHED
After mature deliberation and
careful investigation, the grand
circulation campaign launched to-
day has been decided upon, all
plans have been completed and a
whirlwind voting contest for
81 600 worth of handsome and
valuable prizes is now under
way.
The prizes selected by The
Advocate and which will be
given by the Kentucky Circula-
ton Co., represent in every de-
tail the very best money could
buy, and involves some of the
most magnificent prizes ever
offered in a similar affair of the
city. In making up this list of
prizes the ordinary newspaper
premiums were not even so much
as considered: only prizes of real
merit and desirability were
thought to be worthy of The
Advocates determination to put
on foot such an enterprise as it
might well and justly be proud
of. In consequence of this de-
termination, expenses was practi-
cally lost sight of, so that the
list Of prizes is calculated to take
enc breath away.

DON'T BE THIN
AND SKINNY
New Treatment will Make
You Fat

Il have been thin for years
and began to think it was natural
for me to be that way. Finally
| read about the remarkable pro-
cesses brought about by use of
Tonoline Tablets so | decided to
try them myself. Well, when |
look at myself in the mirror
now, | think it is somebody else.
| have put on just forty pounds
during the last forty days, and
never felt stronger. Tonoline
Tabs are a powerful inducer to
nutrition, increases cell-growth,
food, increases the number of
blood-corpuscles and as a neces-
sary result builds up muscles,
and solid healthy flesh, and
rounds out the figure.
For women who can never ap-
pear stylish in anything they
wear because of their thinness
this remarkable treatment may
prove a revelation. 1t is a
beauty maker as well as form
builder and nerve strengthened.
Go to your druggist and get a
box of Tonoline Tablets and you
will always go to the table with
a hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be
clean and fresh, and you will
know there are not going to be
any more bad nights and mis-
cradle days for you. Tonolins
tabs freshen you and make you
feel like life is worth living.
TonOIine Tablets cost $l.OO for
a Is days treatment, at drug
gists, or mailed by American
Proprietary Co., Boston, Mass.

a little effort during their spare
time on behalf of The Advocate.

Elem d. Sampson
THREE STATES

We publish in this issue the
announcement of Elem ID. Samp-
son as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Judge
of the Court of Appeals. There
are many reasons why we should
elect Judge Sampson to this i'm
portant Office.
First, he is thoroughly qualif-
ed and capable of holding the
office. Second, his honor and in
tegrity as gentleman and a citi-
zen are above reproach and such
as will commend him to the citi-
zens of the district. Third and
last but by no means least, he is
the only man from the Cumber-
land RiAer section asking for this
office. and in addition to this, ne
yer in the history of the district
have we people of this section
had a man to represent US on the
bench of the Court of Appeals
of Kentucky. The man to fill
this all-important office has al.
ways come from the Big Sandy
session, and heretofore it has
been such a habit it never has
occurred to some of the Big San
dy people that we were really en-
titled to representation. For per-
sonal reasons we would have pre-
ferred Judge VIM. Lewis, Of
London, to make this race, but
as Mr.. Lewis does not intend to
enter the race, we have no hest
fancy in giving our support to
Judge Sampson, of whose quail
fications we have no doubt, and
we may add this, his ability as a
mixer and campaigner is unsur-
passed, and he will win.

Special to The Advocate

Harlan, n.y., April 3, 1916.
Especial to The Advocate }
Hon. Elem D. Sampson, OF
Barbourville, made the opening
speech in his campaign for the
Republican nomination for APP
pellate Judge at the court house
here today. 1t was the first day
of our regular term OF Circuit
court. and a large crowd of Har-
Ian county citizens and voters
were in town. Judge Sampson
was introduced to his audience
by Hon. Nose Howard. Circuit
Court Clerk, and the Judges
speech was well received. He
told his hearers he was a plain
mountain man, born and reared
among us, his father and mother
having been born in the good
county of Bell, just across from
the Harlan county line, he there
fore claimed the right to call us
neighbors. Judge Sampson is
not a stranger to many of our
people, and his splendid reputa-
ton as an official both as County
Judge and Circuit Judge had al
ready reached us. 1t is we'll
known too that Judge Sampson
is a friend to the working man
and the great body of working
men and wage earners are his
friends and will be for him in
his race. He will receive a large
Republican vote at the coming
August Primary in Harlan coun-
ty.

honor of being introduced to Mark

was going to spend the holiday with my
aunt in New York.

fattering show of interest. We'll
hope you will feel, after dinner, just
as l did when | went there to ban

Back again, old pumpkin pie?

Sorry too and think it's wrong.
Wish you'd stay a little while
Why should you go out of style?
Why should you be sent away?
Thrown aside Thanksgiving day?

You're a sight to please the eye.
You don't hide your yellow face
Like mince in hunting case.
You're an honest open pie

Pie, you've got the pumpkin look
Hope you had skilful cook
Hope she left no Jumps or strings
Spoils the pie to leave such things
Nutmeg too must be just right
Makes the pie taste out of sight.
Cinnamon and citron too,
Help the pie, you bet they do.
Eggs and milk must be the best
Crust should stand the strictest test.
Still it's not for taste alone
| would have your virtues known;
Eating pies risk with me
Pie and | don't quite agree
While it's taste | own is great,
Taste with ne has little weight
But something in the pumpkin pie
Brings the thought of days gone by
Every time | look at one
Up comes thoughts of boyhood fun
Then it brings back mother too
Seems to me as if knew
What Another piece? Well, yes.
Two won't hurt man, | guess.

The trend Of Prohibition is shown. by the
report Of the committee in Congress the mat
ter of Prohibition amendment, when the com
mttee not only reported the bill favorably but
urged that it be adopted by congress. The vote
in the House would have been taken before the
holiday recess, but for the fact that the liquor
interests, graspng at the straw, took advantage of
technicality and secure postponement of the
anne. The matter will come up for vote soon
fter the recess in spite Of all the iquortes can
o. 1t is doubtful if the necessary two thirds ma
ority can be secured for the bill at this time-in
TACT it is hardly expected especially in the senate
But the great changes that have occurred since
the vote Of year ago, leads one to believe that
within two years at the longest, prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitution will be
adopted. Several Of the senators and representa-
tives who year ago were outBpoken against the
matter are now as strongly in favor Of prohibition
Evidently they have seen great light during the
recent election, when four more states declared
for Prohibition, and several others by increased
majorities stood by their coors, refusing to weak

Importance to our farmers Most of our people
have come from sections Of greater rainfall, where
conditions are entirely different than they find

who have made special study Of these cond-

home.
TIE husband is the stronger and
would get the tub~if he wanted it,
The plumber is stronger and could
refuse to carry out orders.
Men by nature are course and
sturdy and can stand baths, which
would injure the delicate sensitive
fiber Of women.
Men exercise more than women
and get warmer, follow all the ac-
tive pursuits and golf, and they need
baths.
Women only do housekeeping
and stand over stoves-they don't
need baths.
Baths would wash off their bloom.
Only in a comparatively small re-
gion of the world, where there are
advanced, improved ideas, do the
women take baths.

mo Baths for Women y

Editors Freeman-Tribune: The
following article appeared in The
Woman's Medical Journal for Aug.
ust, and it was so pertinent to the
subject matter of our recent suffrage
campaign, that | could not resist a
chuckle over it. If there is space
for it in your pages I am sure others
would enjoy it as much as | have and
in that spirit / pass it along.
Yours very truly,
Florence Bossenberger
whether you're stuff or not,
Or don't care who's the winner,
The following is what we got
From Mister Witter Bynner!
No baths for women.
Bathing is not a right, but privi-
lege.
Baths for women would only
double the bathing.
1t would also double the expense,
twice as much water, twice as many
towels, twice as much soap.
A great many women don't want
to battle. Do you see as many wo-
men as men at the beaches? If wo-
men wanted baths they would show
it by washing their hands and faces
oftener then they do.
Why cannot man represent woman
at the bath?
A good mother has no time for
bathing.
Women should be mothers, not
mermaids.
1t would consume too much Of
their time also from their house
keeping.
The husband might want the tub
at the same time as his wife.
That would cause dissension in the

Some Good Suggestions.

Eagle Grove Eagle: We give
below letter from Senator Chase
written from suggestion in the
Eagle that the registration law
should be amended SO it would only
apply to cities. of over 10000 popu-
lation. We agree with Mr.. Chase
the limit could well be too radical
and so named 10000 as limit. We
really believe it should not apply to
cities under $4,000 population. Sem
ator Chase has a reputation for do
ing things. He may be expected
to interest the legislature in modi-
fication of this law. which will save
the taxpayers thousands of dollars
Editor Eagle:-
l notice in the Eagle practical
suggestion. The amendment of the
registration law to only include
cities over 10000 population. l be-
lieve we could go farther Only the
large cities need registration. There
is little danger of fraud or repeating
in the smaller cities.
