wONAN IS GIVEN TWO YEARS FOR KILLING
 ANOTHER; MAN FREED
con Johnson, Negro, Gets Five Year Term for Stabbing
 His Wife.

Two murder cases and one assault 4o kill case were among those dis nosed of yesterday when trial of the criminal docket was resumed in the Jefferson circuit court. Ane John son and Burrell Brooks were the ac- o,sed in the murder cases. The cbaroes grew out of the stabbing of Willie Ford a negro woman, on sentember 1. Ane Johnson, the wo-
 nan accused with Brooks, was per- mitted to plead guilty to manslaugh-
 for and was sentenced to serve two
 wears in prison. The case against
 Brooks was nolle pressed by the state. The stabbing occurred down town, the Ford woman dying about 2 week after she was wounded.
 Son Johnson, indicted on charge of assault to kill for shooting and wounding his wife, Bertha Johnson, was tried by jury and sentenced to five years Imprisonment.
 Other cases handled yesterday were those of Sut Matthews, who was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 on a plea of guilty to carrying a pis- tol; Rudolph Levine, sentenced to pay fine of $10 on 8 plea of guilty to charge of gaming, and George Haley, sentenced by jury to one year on charge of embezzlement. Haley is the negro who "accommo- dated" his friend, Green Withers, a Cherry street barber, by taking Withers' money and promising to deposit it in the National Bank of Arkalxas. Instead of depositing the money, Haley appropriated it to his own use, and forged the teller's ini- tial in the depositor's pass book. He worked the trick several times. The years sentence was imposed on an indictment charging him with en- bezzlement of $80.

SPRAYS ARD LOCAL APPLlCA. TI0NS WILL NOT CURE
 CATARRH

Don't deceive yourself, if by the persistent use of sprays, douches, salves and other local applications, your nose and throat The trouble form. u
 1. It is said that the glands of the nose and throat act as an emergency plug for the human sewage system" ," that when the kidneys, skin and lungs are unable to properly dispose of some of the impurities that collect in those organs, such impurities are thrown out through the glands of the nose and throat. - <
 Head colds, due to exposure, must not be confused with that chronic, ag- gravated condition oof the nose and throat treaceable to impure blood.
 The best way to relieve this condi- tion of chronic catarrh is by cleans ing the blood of all the impurities that have collected in the system. There is no better treatment than Plough's Prescription C-2223, the great blood purifier. This reliable alternative pre- scription treatment corrects the i'm pure state of the blood, gives the tis- sues an opportunity to exercise their normal functions and results in the relief of the catarrhal condition so dangerous to good health.
 To secure the best results in taking Ploughs Prescription C-2223, the liver should be made active and the bowels regular. 2223 Liver Pills are recom- mended especially for this purpose. These pills do not sicken or gripe. One pill is dose and only three need be taken a week to keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition.
 Plough's Prescription C-2223 can be supplied you by any good druggist in large bottles for $1.50, the Pills for 25c; or the 2223 Laboratory, Mem phis, Tenn, will bail both postpaid on receipt of $1.75. Samples of the Liver Pills and leaflets regarding Plough's Prescription C-2223 will be sent you without charge on receipt of this clip ping with name and address.-Adv.

:: STOCKS, BONDS, REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE :.
GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS

CNational City Savings Bank of N. Y.)
 All the reports and indices of trade show that business is at the very top-notch of activity, except as interrupted by the very serious strikes which have prevailed, and in spite of these the YolumC of transactions in October and November was much greater than ever before. The report compiled by the Federal Reserve Board of checks drawn by indfvfd- uals upon the banks of 150 leading clearing houses showed total for the week ended November 19 of $11,- O4S,5 ,540,0OO, which compares with S8,086,786 900 in the corresponding week of last year. Railroad traffic is slightly heavier than a year ago.
 The pressure for goods is unabated, and since the demand exceeds the supply, naturally the tendency of prices is upwards. IL is evident that in many lines, and perhaps generally, producers and dealers are endeavoring in good faith to hold down prices, and that without such efforts there would be runaway markets. In iron and steel D 0ducts che strike has caused a dearth of supplies and the United States Steel Corporation is exerting all it's influence to hold prices down to the level fixed last March. when, it wiIi' be remembered the Director General of railroads broke up an arrangement which the Secretary of Commerce had promoted because he thought these prices too high.
 There can be no controversy over prices while merchants are chiefly interested in getting the goods. The plain situation is that production is unequal to the market demand. In the faB of all the wage contrOver- sies that are going on the market situation seems to show that the pur- chasing power of the masses of the people is greater nan ever before. Is exceeds the capacity of the industries as they are now operating. If pro auction could be speeded up these high wages would buy a good many more things and the wages them selves would be more secure. II would simplify matters wonderfully if the tabor anizations would turn their attention from efforts to tn- crease wages to efforts to making all kinds of goods plentiful and cheap. The opportunities for real gains to themselves are far greater in the lat ter direction than in the other.

CLAIM LADY
 NICOTINE IS IN
 4 BIG DANGER

New York, Dec. 4.-To bury Lady Nicotine alongside of John Barley corn.
 The association opposed to national prohibitions, in a statement just is sued, soIemnly repeats the warning that tobacco prohibiuontsts are in augurating a nation wide campaign which is financially equipped to go the limit and which is designed to ban the use of tobacco in this coun- JIy tfTptsS. exactly the same methods as were employed to ban the use of alcoholic beverages"
 The association asserts with cer- tainty'' that the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the Board Of Temperance Union, the Board of Temperance and Moral Welfare Of the Presbyterian Church, the Anti Saloon League and the And-TobaccC League "are already capitalized at many millions of dollars for their joint war upon tobacco, and as yet the sources of their financial support have been barely touched.''
 The statement adds, in part:
 "At the convention of the Women's Ch- al a1n ra"ance Union in St Louis in November last the executive committee issued a statement that there was to be no legislative move ment against tobacco, and that the campaign against the weed, would continue to be one of education
 Let Cat Out of Bag.
 '"The purpose of this official ut terance, as read by all students O: reform tactics, was to lull the American public of tobacco smokers into a false sense of security and to repair, as far as possible. the mischief wrought at an earlier stage of the convention, when Mrs. Frances F. Beauchamp, president of the Ken lucky branch of the organization, in- discreetly let the cat out of the bag. Amid the enthusiastic acclaim of her sister delegates, Mrs. Beauchamp raised the war cry of Down Tobacco! and called upon the organization to abandon tactics of guerilla warfare and come out in the open,

 "Evidently this did not suit the willy executive Committee. It was 2 too premature revelation of the real plan of campaign. It might put the country ofl it's guard, when it was cs- sentia1 to keep the public asleep, 50 that a surprise attack-just like that which brought success to the recent prohibition raid on the Constitution of the United States-might be re- enacted to ban tobacco. And so the executive committee issues its an nouncement of a campaign of educa- tton only against tobacco.

AMER.CA'S PEACE
 OFFENSIVE STARTED
Government Loan Organization
 Issues Call for Thrift Leaders

Armistice Day, November II, marks the inauguration of an intensive peace effort on the part of the Govern ment Loan Organization. representing the United States Treasury Depart ment. In celebration of the first an niVersary of the coming of peace, mex and women in every community throughout the Second Federal Re serve District, leaders in all walks of social and industrial life, are urged to become Thrift Citizens and to use their influence and example among their associates to line up the whole district back of the Governments Thrift program, as part of America s Peace offensive.
 The Government Loan Organization believes that the present economic situation In the United States is laden with many adverse possibilities. The high cost of living. high taxes, the reduced purchasing power of the dol lar, and the scarcity of certain food stuffs, are only few of the factors which are making for widespread mental unrest on the part of the neo pie. It has been repeatedly emphasized by the best minds of the nation. h. cludtng President Wilson, Vice Presi dent Marshall, Nicholas Murray But. Ter, President of Columbia University, and ". F. G. Harding, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. that the
 Ire for these conditions lies in in
 'eased production, decreased con. sumption, systematic saving and sound investment. In other words. the solu. tion of our present problems is Thrift, universally and conscientiously prac ticed by the people.
 It is realized by the representatives of the Treasury Department that the first essential in getting this program generally adopted is to get the leaders in every community soIidly behind the work as active Thrift Citizens. The purpose of the present intensive effort on the part of the Government Loan Organization is to obtain the active, individual cooperation of these lead CTS. It is expected that not later than Thanksgiving Day a substantial num- Der of prominent men and women will. have been enrolled as Thrift Citizens, and the work may then be given a broader character to reach every man, woman and child in the district.
 The preliminary work carried on by the Government Loan Organization has already resulted in the enroll ment of several thousand Thrift CitI. zens. In many communities the lead ing citizens were so enthusiastic over the Treasury Department plan that they entered their names even before the actual opening of the intensive movement. Judging by the prompt cooperation which has already been forthcoming, the Government Loan Organization anticipates an enroll ment of between 25,00O and 5O,OOO Thrift Citizens before Thanksgiving Day.
