Big HEMP CROP
Clark County viii Produce Hall Of
Kentucky Crop This
Year.

The latest estimates verify the fact
that Clark county will this year pro-
duce about one-half the entire hemp
crop grown in Kentucky, thus con-
tinuing Winchester as the largest do
nestle hemp market in the United
States. as Winchester dealers have al
ready engaged many of the largest
crops in other counties, besides the
home output. This will give the VIM
chester hemp dealers control Of prac-
tically rs to so per cent of the en-
tire crop in Kentucky. 1t is a fact
not generally known that American
hemp is raised only in limited num-
Der of counties in Kentucky and a
small quantity in two or three coun-
ties each of Missouri and Illinois 1t
is estimated that the crop of hemp and
hemp seed in Clark county will bring
to the farmers this year, if the sea-
son is favorable, nearly half a million
dollars.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrt
being a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

stroying the foundation of the disease

WHY APRIL 1 Is ALL FOOLS DAY.

For at least three centuries the first
day of April has been set apart for
the particular kind of tomfoolery with
which every boy and girl is familiar.
Yet, old as the day is, just why we
have it or why we celebrate it on
April / instead of some other day is
quite a good deal of a mystery.
As with most of the folk festivals
of our European ancestors, All Fools
Day appears to have been a pagan
feast which was retained after the
coming of Christianity on account of
its great popularity.
some students believe that the Sc
lection of April l as All Fools Day
was only a matter of chance. Others
think thatit was due to New Years
Day having formerly been March %.
After the year had been officially
dated from January l the old New
Years remained for a long time in use.
This accounts for the frequent en-
ployment of a double dated year in
January and most of March, which so
frequently occurs in the form of Feb
ruary q, 1929. April is the oc-
tave of the New Years of March %,
therefore it was celebrated as the
wind-up of the holiday festivity.
Some French authorities assign the
introduction of April Fool, their pois-
son d'Avril, to 1864, when Charles TX
made the change of the years begin
ming to January !. Another French
opinion refers it to the reign of ouis
XIII, when a Prince of Lorraine es-
capped from his Imprisonment in the
Castle of Nancy by swimming the
Meurthe.
Larcouse, by no means predisposed
to Christian mythology, finds in Pois-
son d'Avril a corruption of passion.
According to his view the solemn dig
nifty of the passion was vulgarized into
peasant show of the hobbledehoy
type. Quitard, holding this opinion of
the source of the word, declines to ac-
cept the corruption of the word pas
sion and labors to prove that poisson
was adopted as the translation of Ich-
thy's, the Greek rebus of the early
Christians, adopted as a prudent and
pious formula in the days of persecu-
ton.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In It before breakfast. ..v

Headache OF any kind, is caused by
Observation-Disclosures means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests In the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vic.
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood of
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tenn and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for o quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate. It is in.
expensive. harmless as sugar, and al
most lasteless, except for a sOurish
tWlnge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, If
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
Indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
c-,-stem of toxins and poisons.
lSResults are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush ont
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know z miserable moment, 4
