"How would you like it, demands
Sylvia, off after siege Of excessively
hot days you decided to abandon all
rightful claim to wonderful crop of
hair and then found the next day that
the thermometer registered 60?" Be
ing a mere male, we can find no fitting
reply.
Love may laugh at locksmiths and
the miles that separate plighted pairs.
but the Attorney Generals Office at
Albany can't see the joke.
All of which means that the mar
riages by telegraph which have been
have had their legality questioned.
The Attorney Generals Office believes
that they will not hold, and no more
licenses for long distance weddings will
, be issued Which also means that a
score of soldiers who have gone to the
front congratulating themselves that
they had lodged the tortures of a cere-
mony will find this agony staring
them IN the face on their return.

MAMMA! DON'T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD is
SICK, CONSTIPATED
Look At Tongue! Move Poisons From
Liver And Bowels At
Once

Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore, does
not eat, sleep or act naturally, has
stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remember,
a gentle liver and bowel cleansing
should always be the first treatment
given.
Nothing equals California Syrup
of Figs" for children's ills; give a
teaspoonful, and in a few hours all
the foul waste. sour bile and fer
menting food which is clogged in the
bowels passes out of the system, and
you have we'll and playful child
again. All children love this harm
less, delicious "fruit laxative" and it
never fails to effect a good "inside"
cleansing. Directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and grown-ups are
plainly on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A lit
tie given today saves sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of "Cali-
fornia Syrup of Figs" then look and
see that it is made by the California
Fig Syrup Co." 1t

A SLICK SCAMP THIS

Some time ago an individual who
gave his name as Biddleton worked a
slick and rascally scheme on elev-
en- families living between the Roll
ing Fork section of Casey and Hus-
tonville. He was accompanied by a
female in an auto and the two rep
resented themselves as being repre-
sentatives for Leslie's Magazine.
They had a good proposition and
they worked it to a queens taste.
For paltry dollar they agreed to
send the magazine ten weeks and
give as a premium the choice of a
Bible, history of the war or one of
Jack London's books. Those who bit
signed an order for the "bargain"
and an agreement to pay 81. The
magazine and the presents have come
up all right but the story does not
end there. Coming to Hustonville the
scamp got a well-known business
man to discount the orders that had
been given and which had later been
worked on by Inn. The 81 order
read $11 and the magazine was for
10 weeks. The scamp had been as
liberal with the money part of it as
he had been with his publication, and
the good people who were thus dup
ed will read Leslie's Magazine for a
long time even if they pay big
price for it.

FOR MRS. EDWARD COOPER

The most delightful social func-
ton during the holidays, was the re-
ception given on Friday afternoon
by Misses Lucille and Lyles Cooper
and Mrs. John Owsley Reid, compli-
mentary to their sister-in-law, Mrs.
Edward Cooper, of Litchfeld, Hi
nois. The entire house was artistical-
ly decorated in Christmas colors and
holly. The guests were received in
the reception room by the hosteses
and Mrs. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper, who
is bride of only few months. was
elegantly gowned in her wedding
dress of white satin, trimmed in
pearls, and Miss Lyles Cooper, who
was her maid of honor, wore a very
handsome dress of pink satin. The
guests retired to the dining room,
where an elaborate salad course was
served by Misses Lottie Carson and
Mary Elizabeth Mckinney, Mesdames
Carl A. Carter and c. Hays Foster,
who were gowned in evening dresses.
Mrs. E. c. Walton presided in a
most graceful manner over the tea
urn, while Miss Mary Dee Kennedy
served the salad. On leaving the din
ing room the guests were presented
with small spray of holly by Mrs.
Sam Robinson, as a souvenir of the
reception that will long be remem-
bered in this city. Mrs. Cooper is in
deed a very charming lady and has
made many friends during her visit
here.

MIR. HARLAN'S GOOD BILL

Senator Jay Harlan. of this dis
trict, has drafted a bill to be intro
duced at the coming session of the
Legislature providing for the bud
get system of appropriations. If
adopted the present system of spend
ing the States money will be revolu-
tionized. Intelligent and business like
state financing will supersede the
present harum scarum and unscienti-
fic method, and much money will be
saved. The budget financing has been
adopted by many of the most pro-
gressive States, and proved to be the
only way to wisely and efficiently ex-
pend the State funds. The adop-
ton of the system by the Federal
government is being strongly urged.
Mr.. Harlan has given quite a good
deal of study tome question, and his
bill has been submitted to many, and
has met with unanimous "a APPROVAL. 1t
is hoped the Legislature will be will
IL 4, - adopt this efficient system of
sttte financing in the place of the
present unintelligent plan of appro-
priations. He has also prepared bill
pertaining to regulation of weights
and measures, and providing for
public scales; and one changing the
jurisdiction of the lower courts,
which will save may a dollar for
Commonwealth. These bills appeal to
the Advocate as most meritorious
and commendable, and we hope the
author may be successful in secur-
ing their enactment.-Advoca

INCOME TAX MAN COMING

Collector of Internal Revenue
Hughes announces that officers will
start from his headquarters on Jan
uary 1, and on January 2, every one
of them will be on the job in the
county assigned him, to meet the
people and help them make out their
income tax returns. The officer as
signed to this county will be at STAN
ford from Jan. 9th to Jan 22nd. On
his arrival he will inform bankers
and the postmaster where his Office
will be located. II will be well for
every unmarried person whose net
income for 1917 is $1,000 or over,
and every married person living with
wife or husband whose net income
for 1917 is $4,000 or over, to call on
the income tax man and learn wheth-
er or not they have any tax to pay.
Collector Hughes said today. The
person subject to tax who doesn't
make return in the time prescribed is
going to regret it. The government
will get after all income tax slack
ers. There's hardly business man,
merchant or professional man, who
won't have to make return of in
come. Farmers, as a class, will have
to pay the tax. The safe thing to do
is for every person who had total
income of 81 1000 or $4,000, as the
case may be, and who is not sure
about what deductions the law al
lows him, to play it safe by calling
on the income tax man. The man in
the field will have forms for every
body and persons who expect to call
on him need not trouble themselves
to write to my Office for FORMS"

TO MY PEOPLE

God has always been good to me.
| have often thought that but few
preachers have been so blessed
through well nigh fifty years con-
slant service as | have. Amid all the
blessings of these years it seems that
He has reserved the last. and well
nigh the close of my life's work to
allow the lines to fall in the most
pleasant places. No place we have
ever lived, have the people been more
thoughtful and kind than have my
people of Stanford. Especially has
this been true as we have approach
ed the Christmas time. The tokens of
love, and the increasing confidence is
most highly appreciated by us all.
The filling of our larder with so
many good things, and in many other
ways have you made our hearts glad.
We want in this general way to eX-
press to every one of you our love.
And now wish to thank the friends,
who are not members of my church
for their many tokens of love and
confidence. May heavens best bless
ings abide upon all who have made
US happy. Fondly.-M. d. Early.

LOTS OF COLD BUT LITTLE COAL

This section of the State is exper-
fencing another spell of fearfully
cold weather. On Sunday morning
the mercury went as low as IL below
zero and at an early hour this morn
ng it was 10 below. Warmer weather
is promised for the middle of the
week and it will prove a delightful
new years present to the shivering
humanity hereabout. To add to the
discomfort of the record-breaking
cold weather is the lack of sufficient
coal to prevent suffering in many
instances. Frank Spoonamcre got in n
car of the "black diamond" Monday
and it went like hot cakes, people
going after it in wagons, autoes,
wheelbarrows and grain sacks. The
car was quickly sold, less than a
third of our people getting even a
look in. The dealers have bills of
lading for coal but the coal doesn't
come, and the good Lord only knows
when it will. There seems to be moth
ing to do but grin and endure it,
and keep from freezing if we can.
In short, the road to better fuel con-
ditions seems to be long, dark and
uncertain one, with our fuel admin
istrators as much at loss to know
what move to make as those of us
who have not been good and warm
since good old summer time took it's
departure.

GIRLS! ITS YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS!
Says Women Pay Too Much Heed TO
Their Face Instead OF
Their Corns

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp II little.
That's bad, girls, and know it. Corns
destroy beauty and grace, besides
corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by
asking at any drug store for quar-
ter of an ounce of freeZone. This
will cost little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness. 1t
