Three years had passed. ana AIMS
Bryce's prettS little cottage seemed
10 reflect the very atmosphere OF the
July day. The front gate creaked. ana
tall. goOd-natured looking man
staiked up the path. Anne was sitting
on the piazza Smelling peas.
"AiornIn'. thought I'D come TO talk

Joe stretched his long legs the
length OF the steps, ate two or three
green peas and then asked:
Heard anything from Johni when's

She sighed. "I'm waiting. Joe. I

as it's sale for medicinal uses,
and from this latter tax the
state will derive a considerable
revenue.
Party lines were disregarded
in the vote on these bills. Few
of the members of either house
opposed prohibition enforcement
only six senators voting against
the Acknowledgement bill on final
passage. While the vote in the
House against it was larger,
some of it was on account of GER
tain provisions rather than to ex-
press opposition to the enforce
ment of the prohibition law.
The bill was offered in the House
by Representative Homer c..
Mcclellan, of Louisville, a Re-
publican. The S e n a tie bill,
which provides heavy penalties
for moonshining, was introduced
by ]. D. Whitaker, Democrat,
and ]. Wood Vance of Barren,
another Democrat, was the au-
thor of the bill to tax whisky re-
moved from warehouses for use
so cents a gallon.
The great danger of bootleg
ged whisky, or alledged whisky,
and the many frauds perpetrat-
ed on the buyers of such booze
have operated to reduce that
business greatly. Those who in
former years wanted their drink
and would have it, one way or
another, will not now buy from
bootleggers, even if that gentry
had real whisky to bootleg, on
account of the wood-alcohol
scare and the bogus substitutes
that have been palmed off as
whisky on deluded worshippers
of Bacchus.
Robberies. however, continue
in different parts of the State,
in which whisky is stolen on &C
count of its great value, OF
rather the great value placed up.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions

Laid Color on ThiekIx.

There were periods when even men
rouged. In the Eighteenth century
little attempt was made to initiate
natures cOloring. The ladies ''laid it
On thick" in round red spots, and
seemed to apply it, as they did patches,
to obtain a supposed decorative effect,
and to simulate the blush of nature.
The red and white they used, unlike
the modern cosmetics, were actually
poisonous, and there is record of more
than one lady of quality who died
from the effects of white lead.
