No Chance For Building
Dispatches From Washington Say
Pork Barrel BilP Is Doomed

Dispatches from Washington say
that there is no chance of the bill
containing a provision appropriating
$4,000 for the purchase of govern
ment building site in Stanford ever
seeing ''the light of day" in the SEN
ate. The papers say that it will die in
the senate committee, and would be
defeated if it came to a vote in that
body, anyway. Congressman Helm
has urged all who are interested to
write to the two senators from Ken
lucky, urging them to do all in their
power for the bill, but as it carries a
total appropriation of $4,000, 900
some of the papers have said that
President Wilson would veto it if it
passed the senate. A dispatch from
Washington said Saturday of the bill {:
Defeat of the S3S,000,000 public
building bill, denounced in and out
of Congress as a "pork-barrel meas
ure," which passed the House a week
abo is certain. A poll of the Senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds, taken Friday, indicates that
the bill will die with this Congress-
Unless the members of the Senate
committee experience a change of
ed out of committee during the five
remaining weeks of the final session.
The Kentucky towns sharing in the
appropriations and the amount they
receive are as follows: Barbourville,
$4,000; Central City. 100000; Emil
hence, $4,000; Falmouth, $25,
Hazard, $4,000; Hickman, $4,000
for site; Madisonville, $4,000; Muir
ray, $4,000; Pikesville, $4,000;
Pineville, $4,000 for site; RUSSELL
vile, $4,000 for site; Shelbyville,
$4,000 for extenSion of present
building and purchase of additional
ground and Stanford, $4,000 for a
site. .
By a vote of 81 to 1872 the House
Friday passed the S3S,000,000 rivers
and harbors appropriation bill. Rep
resentatives Swager Sherley and Har-
vey Helm were the Kentuckians who
voted against the bill. Representative
j. c. Cantrill and Ben johnson were
not present

Mother! Give Child
"Syrup of Figs" If
Tongue Is Coated
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious,
Clean Little Liver And
Bowels

Children love this "fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result
is, they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhOea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give "A teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours
all the contipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
system, and you have a well, playful
child again.
Millions of mothers give "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" because it is per-
fectly harmless; children love it, and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for 50-cent
bottle of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be-
ware of counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made by the "Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any
other kind with contempt. 81

HELD UP BY
HICHWAYMEN
Gang OF Unknown Negroes Search
Deputy Postmaster VIII Grimes
For Keys To Office

Five unknown negro men held up
and searched Deputy Postmaster
VIM. Grimes at 4:l5 o'clock last
Saturday morning. ms he came down
he hill on Cutoff pike, to open up
and assert mail for early morning
distribution. As luck would have it,
for the first time in months, Mr..
Grimes did not have the keys of the
postoiiice with him, or money or
other things of value He had chang
ed his clothes hastily, from a suit he
wore the night before, and the keys
had been left with John Reid McKin-
ney, who had planned to get down
to help Mr.. Grimes that morning.
Mr.. Grimes said that it was very
dark at that time Of the morning, and
he noticed bunch of men standing
at the bridge south of II. c Ander-
sons garage as he came down the
hill. He thought it peculiar, but went
ahead, and as he passed by the bunch,
two big negroes stepped in front of
him, and stopped him. He heard one
ask just before he got to them,
isn't this the one?"
When they stopped him, they made
no explanation, but "friskcd" him
quickly, going through all of his
pockets. He told them that he didn't
have "a thing" and when they saw
that he had told them the truth, they
let him go and came on to town.
When a short distance away, he look
ed back and saw the bunch disap-
pearing under the bridge. He could
not tell whether they went up or
down the creek.
Mr.. Grimes says that it was so
dark he couldn't tell whether all of
the crowd were negroes or not. The
two who stopped him were big. bur-
ly negroes, he says. Three more were
standing off short distance, but ow-
ing to the darkness, he could not tell
whether they were black or white.
Friends of Mr.. Grimes believe that
he had narrow escape with his life,
for it is probable that had the ne
groes found the keys to the postoffice
on him, they might have taken them
for the purpose of looting the Office
and to keep Mr.. Grimes from spread
ing an alarm, might have knocked
him in the head and pitcher his body
under the bridge.
No clew has been found to the
identity Of the bunch Of negroes. Mr..
Grimes says that the two who held
him up were unknown to him, but
he might be able to identify them if
he saw them again.

WALTON WILL VISIT PANAMA

Claiborne Walton, United States
Marine from Stanford, will visit the
Panama Canal, when the huge bat
tiesip Montana completes her cruise
in the West Indies and sails for the
lsthmus. in accordance with the win
ter schedule of the Atlantic Fleet.
Claiborne, who is d son of f. c. Wal
ton, of Stanford, enlisted in the Unit
ed States Marine Corps at it's Akron,
Ohio recruiting station on Sept. %,
1916, and will perform his regular
military duties aboard the Montana
while the big dreadnaught steams
through the waterway from coast to
coast. Comparatively few Americans
are favored with an opportunity to
visit the great canal, and this trip
to the tropics, which has been aptly
timed to avoid the rigors of north
ern winter, will doubtless prove of
great educational value to the local
bow.

clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to di-

tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a quick
recovery. These tablets strengthens
the stomach and enable it to per-
form its functions naturally. OBJ
