new TREATMENT
FOR RHEUMATISM
CONTAINS RAD|UM
Great Rheumatic Curative Prop
erty Can Now Be Treated
At Home.

Radium for rheumatism at price
within the reach of all.
That's the news which is causing
Juror of discussion among those
who have been enduring the aches,
pains, and twinges of this dreaded
complaint. ~.
Heretofore radium treatments have
been enormously expensive Either
the sufferer had to journey to some
hot springs to drink the water con-
tanning the radium emanations, or
visit. an institution known as an
"Emanatorium" where the radium
treatment was taken by inhaling the
gas-or emanations-given off from
a quantity of pure radium.
But now science has learned how
to imprison these radium emana-
tions in tablet form so that they
may be- taken at home with meals
and the user put to no inconven-
fence whatever. Despite the enor-
moust first cost of pure radium, how
ever, these tablets, each producing
four mache units of genuine radium
emanation, have been placed on the
market at a price no greater than
that asked for ordinary medicines.
The new treatment is controlled
exclusively by the manufacturers of
Tanlac, the most widely known gen.
eral system tonic in America. The
radium tablets contain other useful
ingredients and an efficacious medi-
cament for external application
goes with the package which is be-
ing introduced under the name OF
Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment.
If you are bothered with rheuma-
tism go get Tanlac Rheumatism
Treatment and get a real medicine
for this complaint. The manufac-
turers cannot guarantee that it will
cure you, but they do guarantee
that if you are not satisfied with the
results obtained you will get your
money back without question.
Buy it at any good drug store
where you buy Tanlac, the famous
tonic. srs 81 CT (adv)

In series of entertainments be-
ing held at the Lexington (kyo
Public Library this week, Rev. G. r.
Combs. the popular pastor of the
Paris Methodist Church, on Tuesday
night lectured on 1.-The Songs of the
Kentucky Mountains" which wa;
the general theme for the evenings
entertainment.

ed with music numbers, and re-
cital of some of the mountain songS
from the book of Lonesome Tunes,
folk songs compiled by Lorraine Wy.
man and Haword Rockwey, of New
York, by Mrs. William A. Hifner
with accompaniment by Miss Myrtle
Kesheimer. 5a4
Rev. Combs has the most complete
collection of folk lore that is to be
found in this country. He is him
self a mountaineer and is therefore
better able to give a correct imita-
ton of folk songs than person
who has merely studied them without
having been associated with the
mountain people themselves.
The Lexington Leader of Wednes-
say regarding the lecture:
'It was an evening of rare delight
to the large audience present, many
of whom are natives of the Kentucky
mountains or had Travelled in that
interesting district.
"Mr. Combs lecture was in two
parts, the first telling of his desire
to make a collection of the folk
songs, being anxious to preserve the
best for the sake of the mountain
people, his people, where he was
born and reared, and for the sake Of
studying them in their historic in
tereSt.
LAS a mountain man, the speaker
said, he has a prejudice in favor of
the songs which had no origin across
the seas, as have so many of the
songs obtained by other collectors,
and so he has preserved as many as
possible of those native to- the soil,
pure mountaineer, created among
those majestic hills and breathing Of
spontaneity and inspiration of daily
incidents.
"He mentioned the other collectors
of mountain folk song and lore, Jo-
seph McGill, Josiah Combs, DR.. HUI
bert Shearin, Miss Wyman and DR..
Brockway.
I'm his own collection, Mr.. Combs
said, he has about four hundred OF
the songs, but they are not yet class
flied and arranged. Folk songs and
folk lore, the speaker continued, are
the best index to the life Of the peo
pie and these songs tell of their trag-
edies, their moods, their longings
and their emotions in the simple
hard, rugged life, far away from
railroads and large cities. He gave
a vivid picture of the toll and cares
of husband, wife, son, daughter and
the lonesome tunes they would be
apt to sing while engaged in their
daily tasks.
1.-The second part of the lecture
came after Mrs. Hifner's first group
of songs, and gave an insight into
the gayer side of the mountain life
as interpreted in their songs"
"Mr. Combs has a delightful melo-
dious voice and illustrated his lecture
with songs of the different classihca-
tions unaccompanied except with two
