Uncle Sam is becoming very inn portant factor in the film industry The output of war pictures, or pictures that have a direct bear ing upon the war, is constantly on the increase.

SAYS GERMANY HANDS
 UNITED STATES GOLD
 BRICK PEACE OFFER

The following telegram was re- ceived today by q. A. Hillhouse, chairman of the Jackson County Lib erty Loan Organization, from Chair man Compton of St. Louis.
 "Germany has made us a gold brick peace offer The great drive for the dollar is slackening. It is a German propaganda. It shall not win. Our boys in France, now en- gagged in this tremendous offensive are wondering what is the trouble at home. We must not discourage them or encourage our enemy. A knock out blow with dollars is necessary. Any county that fails takes away fighting efficiency from it's soldier boys. We must raise our entire quo- ta this week and every county must go over the top. Think of being able to wire across the seas to our two million boys this great news. Do it quickly and wire the glad news here. Please give this publicity"

TO ENJOIN REFERENDUM.

The Arkansas Light 6 Power Co.,, of Philadelphia, yesterday filed suit in the chancery court asking that Tom J. Terral, as secretary of state, be enjoined from certifying to the election commissioners of Clark county petitions of citizens of Arka- delphia, asking that vote be taken on the first Tuesday in April on the question of the company increasing rates for water and electricity. The light and power company alleges that it entered into a contract with the city council of Philadelphia to in- crease it's rates during the period of the war, and that petitions asking for a referendum of the ordinance have been filed with the secretary of state with a view of having it's con tract with the city set aside.

DRINK A GLASS
 OF REAL HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh
 ard avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of it's untiring research is the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanita- tion of the drainage system of the hu- man body as it is to the drains of the house.
 Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- aeh, can, instead, feel as fresh as 8 daisy by opening the sluices of the sys- tenn each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll, should. each morning before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stom- ach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases. waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting large vol ume of water from the blood and get ting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both- cred with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and siekly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is suffi- cient to make anyone pronounced crank on the subject of internal san itation.

Mr.. S. p. Browning, Fuel Admins

Administrator for Kentucky:
Louisville, KY, March IS, 1918.
To All County Chairmen Federal Fuel

Enclosed herewith you will find a
memorandum containing plan for re-

We are forwarding you a supply of
these memoranda, one Of which is to

be posted in their office where it can
be easily read. Enclosed also find a
number of application blanks copy
which be furnished to each dealer at
as early date as possible. You will
instruct the dealers to Immediately
have such number of these forms

as it is compulsory on the part of the
retail dealer to see that every con-
sumer fills out one of these applica-

made
Please arrange to give the nlan the

set, for the Republican United States
senatorial nomination this year. They
believe the party could not nominate
stronger man. Judge Bethurum is
known throughout the state, he is a
capable public speaker, and would
make the race interesting for anyone
who opposes him.
Thus far DR.. Ben l.. Bruner, OF
Louisville, is the only announced can
didate for this nomination. Judge
Mckenzie Moss, of Bowling Green
and Judge Charles Kerr, of Loving
ton, are looked upnn generally, how
ever, as probable candidates, and an
early announcement by the former
would not be surprising to members
of the Legislature interested in poll
tics.
w. d. Cochran, of Maysville, also is
being urged to seek the senatorial
nomination. Mr.. Cochran, who is a
member of the State Central Com
mittee for the state-at-large, has
been leader in Republican politics
for number of years. If he should
make the race he would have the
support of the Franks-McCulloch ele-
ment, formerly dominant in Kentucky
Republicanism. Mr.. Cochran has
many friends in the Legislature who
are urging his availability.

election is revealed by the large crop
of candidates for various state offices
already in the field. or expected to an
nounce in the near future. There are
indications that every nomination will
be contested, except that for COVER
nor. Thus far, no one has been sug-
gested as a possible opponent of Ed
win p. Morrow for this nomination,
and the part played by the Somerset
man in last weeks events reduces the
possibility even further.
The nomination for attorney gener-
al probably will be the most sought
Already large number of widely
known Republican attorneys are be-
ing mentioned for this honor. The
number includes Judge w. T. Fowler,
of Hopkinsvlle; Representative ]. c..
Davis, of Monticello; Thurman Dixon,
of Scottsville; NJ. L. Heavrin, of Hart
ford; T. B. McGregor, of Frankfort;
T. n. Hazelip, Of Paducah, and Rep
resentative Clarence Miller, of Estill
county.
Mr.. Miller is the latest man to be
mentioned ". this. connection. He is
not a candidate, but many of his leg
islative friends, impressed by the
work he is doing here, are trying to
induce him to make the race. Mr.
Miller was i'll during the early part Of
the session, but he has been making
up for the lost time. Many of his
colleagues regard him as the ablest
lawyer in the House, and are satisfied
that he would reffecte credit on the
party If elected attorney general
Mr. Miller, however, says he has
given the matter no consideration.
Just now he is busy trying to pass his
blue sky law" which would prevent
the swindling of investors by fraudu-
lent transactions. Efforts to pass such
a bill have been made for several ses-
sions, and it appears that at last they
will be crowned with success. Mr..
Miller's bill passed the House almost
unanimously,
Mr. McGregor has made two races
for attorney general. He was on the
ticket with Ed Morrow in 1915. He
does not wish to run, but many
friends are telling him that "the third
time is the charm" Judge Fowler is
widely-known and able lawyer. He
