To The Voters Of the 9lst Legis.
lative District of Kentucky.

1t is being widely rumored that
G. c. Taulbee has quit the race
for representative of the 91st
Legislative District of Kentucky,
composed of Morgan and Wolfe
counties. Of course, there are
those who wish he would quit,
and evidently the wish has been
the father of the falsehood. He
has not quit AND WILL NOT
QUIT, so do not be misled by
such false rumors.
Mr.. Taulbee has been prevent
ed from devoting his whole time
to his race by the illness of his
wife and by business demands he
could not avoid and remain true
to- his clients and to his friends.
He wishes to inform his friends
throughout the district that he
is in the race to stay to the end
and that from reliable informa-
tion from all over the district he
has his nomination won by a
handsome majority.
Mr., Taulbee is a candidate with
the full consciousness that there
is practically no remuneration in
the position he seeks, but his ideal
and ambition is to be of real, SUBJ
stantial service to the people OF
the mountains.
The insistent demand of the
people at this time is for a mar
who is qualified TO render then
faithful, efficient service. The
voters of this district surely will
not be satisfied with any othei
l type or character of man. Polit
! ical tie-ups, false promises ant
= vociferations will not win tn

a this time. We, the people, de
S mand ability and character, an

personifed in Mr.. Taulbee. N

Youngsters Play Hog.

While John Perry and the rest
of his family except two boys,
aged nine and eleven years, were
in the corn field at work, the
other boys being left at the
house, the older child suggested
lets play hog and when you
get fat | will kill you." The
boys made a pen out of chairs
and in short while the older
boy announced that the hog was
fat, and got his fathers gun
from the rack and fired, hitting
his brother a glancing blow in
the head. Mr.. Perry, on hearing
the shot, came to the house, t
find the child covered with blood
1t is not thought that the wounds
will prove fatal.-Mt. Sterling

write Mr.. Stacy a letter some
time in last May in regard to a
proposition that he (Mr. Stacy

through me in regard to Hamilton
accepting a place in the Jailer's
race under him. and said in that
letter that Parish Hamilton would
not accept the place and did not
think he would have anything to
do with the Jailer's race. After
that Parish Hamilton accepted a
place with Joe Roe Wells and is
now a candidate.
This is the only letter l ever

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted Off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin .
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order q small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Conn.,
nittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity In the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact Is
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feeble-minded, epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis Of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio NJ. POllack, statisticl-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statlsticlan Of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase Of population from
April 10, 1910, to January l, 1917, was
11.80 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 1877 ,791.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons in in
stitutionS. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the corre-
spending period was 24.64 per cent,
growth more than double that of the
general population.
"OEeONeI' the Tdte VI luCEedse VI Lhe
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
In which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population increase was 9.S4 per
cent, as compared with a percentage
of increase of insane in institutions of
27.3S. The neighboring state of Indl-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of 4.64 and 27.44 re-
spectively.
