ON THE JOB J. !,
EVERY DAY
WATCH YOUR BLOOD CONDITION
II You Look Pale, Feel Gloomy and
Rundown, Take Pepto-Mangan
and Build Up.


You see men and women who are
never sick. They work hard, look
robust, eat heartily and enjoy life.
They have plenty of rich, red blood.
That is why they are never i'll.
People who try to get along with
weak, impoverished blood always
have a struggle. They go from one
sickness to another. Children the
same way.
If you keep your blood rich and
red you'll enjoy full vigor. Disease
has little chance to develop in heal
thy blood. As soon as you feel run
down, take Pepto- Mangan for a
while. 1t will feed your blood with
the ingredients needed to create a
good supply of red corpuscles.
-Pepto- Mangan is sold in both the
liquid and tablet forms. Take either
kind you prefer, They are alike in
medicinal value. But be sure you
get the genuine Pepto- Mangan-
Guides" The full name, Guides
Pepto-Mangan," should be on the
package.-Advertisement.

Lieutenant Ballard
Wants Oil and Coal Tax


Lieutenant Governor s. Thruston
Ballard would have Governor Ed
win p. Morrow ''get busy"
Mr.. Ballard declared his intention
of requesting the Governor to call
a. special session Of the Legislature
for this winter.
The first purpose Of special ses-
sion, Mr.. Ballard explained, would
be OF arrange for funds for building
roads. He would obtain these funds
through taxing coal and oil, largely.
In the opinion Of the Lieutenant
coal should bear a tax Of 10 cents a
ton. This, he said would yield. to
the state about $3,0oO,Ooo annualiy.
Mr.. Ballard had not made up his
mind definitely on the amount oil
should be taxed, but at should be a
plenty" especially in view Of the
high prices oil is now bringing.
Failure of the whisky tax Of 80
cents a gallon, levied by the last
Legislature, to hold, make it i'm
perative to make other arrangements
for raising funds for road building
It was estimated that the whisky tax
would yield $15,OOO,OO0 for roads,
but the law imposing It was held I'm
constitutional by the Kentucky
Court Of Appeals. ~
Zone Of the biggest things we can
do is put into operation the ma
chinery for good roads. I intend to
have conference with the Governor
at the earliest possible moment and
suggest that he call special ses-
sion Of the Legislature for this wial
ter"
State Senator White Moss, Pine
vile, Bell county, is another who
would welcome an extra session of
the Legislature. He was the author
Of the bill, enacted by the last Leg
islature looking toa comprehensive
system of highways in this, State,
ond failure of the 50-cent tax on
whisky to hold was blow to his
hopes for better roads.
Since the last session of the Cen
eral Assembly Mr.. Moss has spoken
in numerous counties with view to
stimulating interest in the good
roads movement in Kentucky.
Governor Morrow has nothing to
say on the subject.

POLES BEATING The BolSHEvIkI.

Liberation Of Poland seems now
assured by the great victory won
during the last week over the Rus
sian forces, according to the opin-
ion generally entertained in French
military circles, but there is doubt
that it will yield more important
results. The Bolshevik army prob
ably will escape total destruction
although its retreat is entailing
very heavy losses. Hn.c .,,...I.
When Warsaw, the Capital OF
Poland, seemed about to be taken
and government officials were on
the point of moving from the city,
the Poles launched bold counter
attack at various points on the line
everywhere pushing forward with
great vigor. determination and won
dcrful success. Not only have the
Russians been driven far back ON
the southwest, but in the north and
northwest the Russian Army is in a
critical position.
Associated Press dispatches ON
Monday reported the process of
bottilng up the Russian Soviet
forces on the northern front be-
tween Prussia and the Vistula river
had been completed, according to
an official statement issued. The
Poles have closed the gateway of
escape, taking prisoners and ma
terlals in such quantities that it is
impossible to count them.
One Polish infantry division
alone took 5000 prisoners and is
guns.
The Soviet forces which have
been menacing Lemberg from the
east and south have begun to re-
treat under pressure due, the state
ment says. to the continued Polish
advance along the entire central
and northern fronts.

WORK OF AN OLD SOW.

damage done to furniture, carpets,

that someone had raided the place

TO Anderson and had Mr.. Haynes

track down the thieves.
Mr.. Haynes, with Sheriff George

night, leaving Union about 1870
o'clock. to Mr.. Bra(ley's home and
on Monday morning put the hounds
on the trail. After trailing around

DR.. FlhhEY TELLS OF SENTIMENT IN
EUROPE,

Brig.-Gencral John NJ. r. Finney.
OF Baltimore, chief consulting SUR
Seon for the American Expedition
ary Forces during the war, has Just
returned from Europe, where he at
tended the Interallied Surgical Con-
greSs at Paris. He declared him
self more than ever convinced that
1t is "a sin and shame America
has put herself in the position of
declining to ratify the League of
NationS.''
Wherever went" said DR.. Fin
ney, the people talked with were
keenly disappointed at the attitude
this country has assumed toward
the League of Nations. They
think that America in not playing
falr with the rest of the world,
and am compelled to share that
opinion. l am more than ever con-
Vlnced, after going over the ground
once more, that America should
take her place in the League. L
am for any man who is for the
League of Nations and | would be
glad to be quoted to that effect"
DR.. Finney declares that he found
the European countries still very
much unsettled, but slowly getting
into shape. A great deal of un-
easincss, he explains, is occasioned
by the fear of another war. The
overruning Of Poland by the Rus
SLAMS makes the prospect of anoth-
er conflict if not certain, at least
very threatening.
Asked if he found the people of
Europe inclined TO look upon Amer
ica as under obligation 10 help out
IN such an emergency, DR.. Finney
declared that such was undoubtedly
the case.
The Europeans cannot under
STAND the position America has TAX
en-, said he, land indeed there
was very little that could be said
by way of explanation. America
is placed on the defensive without
much Of Il defense"

tn METZ.

The statut Of ,Layfette, presented
to France by the Knights of Col
tunbus of America was unveiled on
the 21St at Metz by Supreme Knight

Most of the population of Metz
cheered when he drew aside the
silk sheet yelling the statue, which
stands on an eminence dominat-
ing the valley of the Moselle.
In his speech of presentation, Mr..

"This noble figure of a French
nobleman denotes more eloquently
than l can say the nature of this
gift from the Knights of Columbus
to the Republic of France in mem
ory of our common dead, who
perished so that the liberty that
Lafayette and Washington fought
for and won might be preserved
TO the world"
An interesting feature of the cere-
mony was the presentation of a
baton to Marshal Foch by Supreme
Knight Flaherty. In handing the
gift TO the Marshal Mr.. Flaherty
said:
eve make this gift 10 Marshal
Foch as Catholic American citizens
because we, like the rest of the
citizens Of the United States, like
the rest of enlightened mankind,

to this great man Of Christ who led
The Hover of Americas youth to

SHARP SUGAR SLUMP PlNCRES DEALERS.

prices have dropped from %, "a

According to information reach

Government officials who are
watching the situation said that
they would not be surprised if price
dropped to even lower levels be-

the machine was steered from the
roadway, striking a telephone pole.
Mr.. Robinson was thrown through
the windshield, shattering it, and
received wrist cuts by the broken
glass, he was also otherwise badly
bruised about his hips and lower
limbs. and had TO appeal to the
man on the horse to assist in eX-

his wounds were dressed and he
was later taken TO his home at the
