Kentucky.

The Kentuckians are early birds.
The state officials elected last month
are already installed in Office. The
ceremony took place at Frankfort last
week. The inaugural address Of Gov.
Morrow was we'll phrased. He is a
young man Of decided promise. He
inherits his taste and talents for pol
itics. His father was a party leader
in the state years ago, while the late
Senator Bradley was a maternal uncle.
Much is expected Of the new regime.
The Kentucky result was sumner
to the Bluegrass democracy. The re-
publicans had some forty thousand the
best Of the poll. Had the figures
been predicted, the prediction would
have occasioned only mirth. But the
morning after the election, there the
figures stood, looking forty feet high
to the losers.
Such figures some years ago were on
the other side Of the ledger. When
Kentucky was normally democratic,
she was tremendously democratic. Very
large majorities were easily and regu-
larly rolled up by that side.
But it is getting to be a far cry to
that time-to the days when James B.
Beck, John G. Carlisle, Henry Wat
terson, William Lindsay, w. C. P.
Breckenridge, John Young Brown,
Proctor Knott, James A. Mckenzie and
Oscar Turner ruled the roost in Ken
lucky. OF that capable and brilliant
company Mr.. Watterson is the sole
survivor, and he is out of harness. It
would not be correct to describe Mr..
Watterson as spending his declining
years in retirement, for man whose
spirits and interest in life refuse to
decline cannot have any declining
years to spend. But he is no longer in
active politics; and so the old order
in the state is now but memory.
It was Bryanism-that is, free sill
verism-which first preached the demo
cratic wall. Twenty-four years ago
William o. Bradley, accepting the issue
as a challenge from the democracy,
carried the state for governor, and the
next year twelve Of the thirteen cleo
toral votes of Kentucky were cast fol
William Mckinley for President on
the same issue. Since then the Iepub-
Leans have three times elected their
state ticket, and sent two Of their
men-Deboe and Bradley-to the Sen
ate.
So notable q victory q this latest
| is foundation for the claim that the
! republicans will repeat next year. On.
doubtedly they will DO inspired to
their very best effort; and with one
of their number In the governors chair
at frankfort, and another in the
mayors chair in Louisville, tho com,
mercial metropolis Of tho state, theil
chances Of SUCCESS appear bright. Theil
Organization is excellent, and the Ken
tucky member Of tho republican ma
tional eemmittes-Col. Hert-is one Of
the most influential members Of that
body.

This little nation, with an area of

Of 7.65S,000. has come to be one Of the

for what the fertile and energetic
United States sells abroad. These

essential, the industries of France and
Belgium when hostilities ceased were
in a state Of Generalization as re-
CARDS ability to function on peace
time production. Trade Commissioner
Charles P. Wood has just made an
enlightening report which shows how
this condition was aggravated: "a By
the problem Of demobilizing the army
and diverting government activities
from war to peace; (2) by the delay
in the sigring of the peace and ratifi-
cation of the treaty, causing uncer-
tainty with regard to the amount Of
indemnity to be expected from Ger
many and the terms on which it will
be paid; (3) by transportation
breakdown due to demolished rail-
ways, shortage of rolling stock and a
world shortage of ships; a. by de-
probation of the value of the franc;
(5) by increased cost of labor and raw
material; (6) by unsettled labor con-
ditions as a result Of the war.
Under handicap over which they
have had little control up to the pres
emit, the manufacturers, mine oper-
ators, business men and engineers of
France and Belgium have been try
ing to get started, Commissioner
Wood finds. They must not only re-
build or remodel their plants and
buy considerable equipment, but they
also must provide at least three times
as much working capital as was
needed before the war. The purchase
Of large quantities Of machinery from
the United States and England on a
cash basis is out of the question at

NEURALGIA IS
HUNGER CRY OF
WEAK NERVES
How This Bddeford Woman Found
Almost Instant Relief For
Long Standing illness

Any ailment. whether trivial or Sc
rious reduces the efficiency Of the in
Giyidual. During these times, when
the wage Garner needs all his physical
and mental powers to meet the cost
Of daily existence, a sound body is an
asset Whoever IS forced to give up
his work because of illness is almost
sure to be left behind. Much illness
can be prevented.
One of the first essentials Of con-
tinued health is good blood for it is
only by means Of good blood that the
delicate nervous system is kept in
condition. Nerves that are starved
by thin blood inevitably protest.
Sometimes the protest takes the form
of indigestion and often. if the indiv-
idual is exposed to cold, neuralgia re-
suits. The victim of neuralgia suf-
fers from stabbing. burning or dart
ing pains which rob him of his sleep
and leave him exhausted instead Of
refreshed in the morning.
Mrs. D. J. Small. Of No. 147 South
street, Biddeford, Me. suffered from
neuralgia pains for years until one
day her mother suggested treatment
she had used with benefit. She says:
