MESSAGE TODAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-President
Wilson this afternoon addressed to
Germany an inquiry designed to test
the sincerity of Germany in her peace
offers. '."''
In this message he serves notice on
Germany that no armistice is possible
while the armies of the central powers
are upon allied soil.
And, he added, the good faith of any
discussion would depend upon the willing.
ness of the Teutons to withdraw their forces
at once from invaded territory.
The message to Germany was officially
designed as an inquiry, not a reply to the
German peace note. 1t asked the German
chancellor for the exact meaning, and
questioned whether he meant Germany was
ready to accept the Ia terms.

THE MAKING OF
kFAm0US
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
sven the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
IN sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which We are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

FOR COLDS AND
GRIPPE FOLLOW
DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of cold, cough, 1nfiu-
enza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk calomel purgative, prefera-
bly the nausealess calomel, called
Calotabs." This alone is often suffi-
Gent to break up a severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack OF
grippe and possibly prevent pneumo-
MIA.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-thets
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
silgtest interference with your eat
ing. pleasures or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your
cold has vanished and your entire
system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaran
teed by druggists everywhere. Price
refunded if you aer not delighted.

STATE HEALTH BOARD ISSUES
ANOTHER WARNING.

Another warning to take all pre-
cautions against the spread of inf1u-
enza is issued by the State Board of
Health in a bulletin in which 1t de-
clares that within the last few days
the disease has again reached such
epidemic proportions as to require &C
ton.
While the disease is far milder, and
differs from the earlier stage of the
epidemic in that it is attacking chill
dren more frequently than adults. it
is far more prevalent and widely dis
tributed than at any previous tune,
the Health Board says.
In general, the Board advises dur
ing this epidemic to:
1. Keep away from crowds of all
kinds.
2. Keep out of the sick room and
away from houses of sickness, unless
your services are needed. Keep clean
and wear a mask if you do go.
8. Walk to your place of business
if possible-avoid crowded cars.
4. Cover your cough or sneeze and
keep away from people who do not.
S. Keep away from dirty eating
and soft drink houses.
6. Open your windows at night,
adding extra bedding if necessary.
z. Call a physician if you or your
family show any signs of sickness.
8. After influenza, stay in bed un-
til your doctor advises you to get Up.
9. Do not handle anything from
the sick room until it is boiled.
10. Have and do little visiting un-
til this epidemic is over.
IL. Cordially cooperate with your
Health Officer and physician in pre-
venting the spread of influenza.
By order of the Board.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN KEN

Decided Success Attends Efforts OF
kentucky Company - Big Profits
Assured.

Kentucky as an oil producing state
is coming rapidly to the fore, due
largely to the aggressive and progress
si~e management Of one of the pioneer
Independent oil companies Of the state,
the McCombs Producing and Refining
Company.
This organization has quadrupfed
its production recently simply by going
after oil when it knows it was there.
This is emphasized by the fact that
this company has as yet not drilled
what is technically called one dry
hole, that is, a non-producing well
AS a result it announces 400-barrel
well just drilled in" in the big
Sinking District" a 250-barrel well in
Lee County, and q 100barrel well
near Torrent, KY.
This makes an increased output of
$50 barrels per day ia only three wells
here lately, and there are now "a pro-
ducing wells belonging to the Nc
Combs people.
Mr.. Abram Reniek, president of the
MeCombs Company, announces that
within the next ten days he expects
alse the completion Of eight addition
al wells. This is going to make a
tremendous increase in the production
Of crude oil by this company.

To accommodate this product the
entire refining plant Of the Consoli-
dated Oh Refining Company Of East
St Louis has been purchased and will
be literally removed in its entirety to

road and within SIX miles of the pro.

Meantime, production from wells al

When you are troubled with indi-

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 remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catharrh, which is an in
fiamEned condition Of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. AL
