CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH
REMEDY.

This is not only one of the best
and most Efficient medicines fer
coughs, colds and Group, but is
also pleasant and safe to take,
which is important when medi-
cine must be given to children.
Many mothers have given it
their unqualified endorsement.

have the corn, we know how to
bake corn bread and we can eat
it fresh. We also have the mills
On which to grind it. These are
some of the reasons why we
should use more corn bread
than ever before.
Here in Rockcastle County
we have never raised sufficient
wheat for our bread. We have
never known year when car
load after carload of -four was
not shipped in from other coun-
ties and other states. We al
ways buy large quantities of
mill feed for our stock. We
have fine opportunities to raise
sheep, though we don't produce
one.tenth of the wool to make
our wooden clothing.
We cannot furnish money
to clothe, feed, equip with arms
and mmunition, transport and
pay salaries to our quota of the
National Army, but we can do
something; we must do our best

HOW TO PREVENT CIRQUE.

In child that's subject to
attacks of Group, the first indi-
cation is hoarseness. Give Cham

as the child becomes hoarse and
the attack may be warded off and
all danger and anxiety avoided.

MODESTY OR INDIFFER-
ENCE?

am asking-in all serious
neSS-whether we-of Rockcas-
tle-are peculiar in our modesty
or whether we are Indifferent to-
ward our obligations? This is an
age that Is breaking all preced-
ents. Rockcastle, too, has made
history, but few of us know, what
the Others have done and still
fewer outside of the county
know that we have done any
thing. l would not have us
boast, but those who have made
contributions to County, State or
Nation deserve some of the rec
Ognition that other, similar con-
tributers are receiving.
The production and conserva-
ton campaigns that were made
in this county were very educa-
tional, and those who were un-
selfish and even sacrificing in
this work deserve much credit.
The people throughout the coun-
ty responded with a very fine
spirit. The cellars, .pantries and
barns and cribs bear eloquent
testimony that a new day has
dawned in Rockcastle.
l have heard unqualified COM
mendatlon Of the tomatoes that
were canned by the "Club Girls"
of Rockcastle, but have heard
this in private OILY. Most of
these girls are mere children and
public recognition of their etfici-
ent work would mean a challenge
to their progressive best.
No other appeal that has ever
been made to this county has
found its way to our hearts so
readily and has called forth such
generous response as did the
appeal for the Army Y. NJ. c. A.
This is the biggest single invest
ment that ROckcaStle has made
in young man hood. Has any
other county in this Common
wealth given three times it's ap-
portionment in this work? Had
Jefferson county done this, every
daily paper in Louisville would
have carried the news through
out the State in head lines that
would have crowded the world
war off of the front page.
Again, no young man from
Louisville has received a COM
mission without receiving such
public recognition of merit that
every reader of LOuisville's dali
ly papers feels that this Kentucky
metropolis is proud of her sons.
Their pictures have often found
their way before the public and
always biographical sketch has
told who they are. RockcaStle
has some sons who have received
commissions. Allen and J.. H.
Barnett received com missions as
Captains and E. B. Thompson
was commissioned Lieutenant
1t is up to RockcaStle to let the
rest of Kentucky know who
these boys are and to let these
young men know that we appre-
ciate the honor that their effici-
ency has brought to them and to
us.
| Paducah was not slow to let
others know that Mr.. Ruther-
| ford gave up a big Paducah
church to take an Army Y. M. G.
A. secreaary's place. This Mr.
Rutherford is WORKING In same
Y. NJ. c. A. unit with E. R. Gen
TRY from Mt. Vernon. Mr.. Ru
| therford is only an adopted son,
lof McCracken county, but Mr.
| Gentry is a native born son Of
| Rockcaslle, and RockCastle should
honor her own.
This article is mot meant as {
criticism of any one individual
but is intended for all of us tt
the kextent that we are guilty
l ask again, very seriously, have
we not an obligation about which
we have been too modest or to
ward which we are unpardonably
Indifferent?

POULTRY.

Our poultry should be we'll
housed and fed this winter, be-
cause eggs are going to be high.
The poultry house should be
built at once. This can be built
out of rough slabs, waste lum Der
and coffee sacks. 1t should be
dig enough for the chickens to
have room 20 scratch during the
day, or it should have a shed
built on the south or southeast
ern side for the chickens to
scratch in or sun during the
cold days :of winter. Save the
turnips, cabbage and small pota-
toes for the chickens this WIN
ter. Gather acorns, hickory
nuts, and walnuts, crack them
and throw them in to chickens,
and let them pick out the. ker'
neis. Your reward will be more
eggs for the table.
MORE HOGS AND SHEEP.
The best possible means of
relieving the meat situation
would be to increase the ursn Der
of hogs on every farm. For
the average small farmer hog
and poultry offers the most eff
fective means of increasing the
meat output at any time in the
near future. A special cam
paign for the increasing hog
production in the next twelve
months is being planned and will
be pushed vigorously by all Of
the executive forces in all the
southern states. 1t should not
be forgotten however, that to in
crease the number of hogs profit
ably there must be ample food
supply to keep them in good
condition. 1t has been found by
frequent demonstrators that the
easiest and cheapest way to pro-
duce pork in the south is by
furnishing a rotation of good
pasture crops, such as alfalpha,
crimson clover, vetch, oats, wheat.
rye, barley, rape ect., followed
by such grain crops as soy-beans,
cOwpeas, peanuts, ect. With an
abundance of these crops in rota.
tion very little corn is req uired
to produce large quantities OF
pork at very moderate cost
We must remember the three
BIS are very important factors in
winning the war-Beans, bread
and bacon.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way
to cure catarrhal deafness and
that is by a constitutional IRENE
dy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the res ult. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh. which
is an. inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dol.

Deafness that cannot be cured by
