Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought
of it, but this disorder is due to a
lack of moisture in the residual mat
ter of the food. If you will drink
an abundance of water, eat raw
fruits and take lots of outdoor exer-
else. you may be able eventually to
overcome it entirely. In the mean
time use the most mild and gentle
laxatives. Strong and harsh cath
artics take too much water out of
the system and make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain Tablets are
easy and pleasant to take, and most
agreeable in effect. Give them a
trial.

PUBLIC AUCTION
Zig Sale of Baby Farms and
Building Lots

On July 9Th the J. +. Catron farm,
lying near the High School will be
cut up into Baby Farms and Build
ing Lots and sold by auction to the
highest bidders.
The building sites in BarbOurville,
from the very uneven nature of the
ground and the hills with which the
city is surrounded make it necessary
to move out along certain we'll defin-
ed boundaries. The piece of proper
ty now offered is one of the most
logical directions in which the city
may grow as grow it will and must.
Then. an opportunity is offered to
buy small acreage, which gives two
chances 10 make money. One of
these is in raising excess vegetables,
the other is in the natural increase
of values thru the settlement of any
given district by people.
Very few people make money by
straight saving from salaries. Usu-
ally the man or woman who gets
larger rewards does so in what may
be termed safe speculation" and a.
mOng the things that offer the best
return for money invested, combined
with safety, is real estate. 1t can
not disappear nor go into bankruptcy
Why not attend the sale and see if
there is not something either in the
lot or baby farm that will be Just
what you want.
This will always be the education
al center of the city. The soil is
good and the place is we'll elevated.
Barbourville is going to grow. In
fact it is having a steady growth all
the time and as Union College en-
larges and the work of the County
High School comes to full fruition,
besides what we may expect from
the oil development as well as coal, !
there is no question but that Bar
bourville will continue to be a
mighty solid little city where real
estate will always be desirable.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his ervices. Diseases
like pain in the stomach and bowels,
collie and diarrhOea require prompt
treatment, and have in many in
stances proven fatal before medicine
could be procured or a physician
summoned. The right way is to
keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy.
No physician can prescribe a better
medicine for these diseases. BY hav
ing 1t in the house you escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. Buy

New York, May 23.-The fifteenth
general meeting of the American Iron
and Steel Institute was called to order
at the Hotel Pennsylvania today by r.

interfered more or less with business ac-
tivity
You are all familiar with the sub
iect. he continued. AT present there
is perceptible and gradual improve
ment. 1t seems probable that this will
continue and increase. On the whole.
our business during the last six months
has been better than we had reason to
expect. After what has occurred dur
ing the last few years it is wonderful
that conditions are so good.
AS | have said before more than
once. there is large and fairly profit
able business ahead. The necessities
Of the purchasing public are piling up.
Some may wait too long before placing
the orders under contemplation.
He cited the prospects of record
breaking crops as Il good sign. and also
declared that there was Il reason to as
sumo that the peace terms will be agreed
and subscribed to by at least n majority
of governments. and that "a league OF
nations for the continued preservation
of peace will be established.
"A large majority of the people Of
all countries said Mr.. Gary. ARE
favorable to these results and their de-
sire and will must prevail.
1T is time that industry and enter
prise in the United States shall be en-
couragcd and protected instead of being
attacked. interrupted or destroyed. =

position or compelled to occupy a lower
place. depending upon the attitude of
our own people in official or private
