INFLUENZA AND

At THIS TIME OF DANGERsTAKE
PEPTO-hiAEGAN-lT BUILDS
RICH, RED BLOOD
because Blood rs Probably Thin

No matter how well you usually
ere, if temporarily you're run down,
iou're target for the influenza.
Contagion always gets listless peo-
pie first. Whether they realize it or
,o:, their blood is thin and under
ourished-in no condition to fight
off the germs it meets everywhere.
1t is wise precaution to take a
good tonic at this time of danger
some well known builder of red,
vigorous blood, like Pepto- Mangan.
And if you did not think of this in
;ime-if you are now recovering
from a fight with influenza-your
blood will noes! help for weeks after
you think the LANCER is past.
Take no Unnecessary chances. Get
Pepto-Mangan and start taking it
today. Pepto-Mangan is an effective
blood builder that has had the en-
dorsement Of physicians for years.
Pepto- Mangan is sold by druggists
in either liquid or tablet form, just as
preferred. There is no difference in
value. But be sure you get
the genuine Pepto-Mangan. Ask for
Guides Pepto- Mangan and be sure the
name Is on the package.-Adv.

THE STREETS

Some anonymous writer sends II
the following clipping taken from
last weeks issue of the Journal:
"The weather seems to have
broken at last. We have had sew
eral days of sunshine this week,
and the roads are about to dry
out. It will not be long at the
present rate before the roads all
through the parish will be in
good shape, etc."
To this clipping he adds the CUES
ton "Why so silent on the question
Of STREETST
To this we answer that we did moi
think the streets were drying out a:
fast as the roads in the parish, ant
not being able to say that they were
drying out and would soon be in good
shape, we did not say anything at all
That the streets in town have beer
in worse condition than the roads ir
the parish we admit, but that condi.
ton has been due to several reasons
First, the town has been without the
necessary. funds with which to work
the streets. Second, the weather has
been such that work could hardly
have been done and money would
have been thrown away to have tried
to work on the streets in such wealth
e.. Third, it will not be very long
before the town will let contract foI
crawling and repairing the streets,
and they did not want to spend any
more money on them than was ne
cesssry before the contract was let.
And another thing, almost any.

The railroad bridge gang has been
busy during the week taking up the
cuiverts at the crossings in town and
cleaning them out and replacing them.
1t would have beer a good idea for
the town to have given them new
ones to put down in the place of the
old ones. But, we suppone no one
knew that they were going to take
them up until the work was done and
then tbs town did not have any new
ones on hand to put.

,1RIRTr-F0uR SURRENDER
70 MAYF|EO OFFICERS
Witnesses Guard Strengthened
As Alleged Night Riders,
Sullenly, Enter City

Mayfeld, KY, April 12.-Fore-
stalling plans Of the Sheriff to visit
their districts accompanied by State
troops, thirty-four OF the men indict-
cd by the night rider grand jury
came to the city Saturday and sur
rendered.
As the men, charged with having
entered the city armed and masked
after midnight two weeks ago and
burned the tobacco chute, crowded
suilenly in the Sherin's Office and
executed bonds, troops continued to
guard the Court House.
In the nearby Office of the County
Clerk, Walter Wolf and Will Jordan,
young. men who confessed to parti-
Gpation in the burning and then
turned States evidence, were still in
keeping of soldiers for fear Of per-
sonal violence, and their guard was
strengthened. For a week they have
not left the Court House except to
go to a restaurant. and then they
were guarded. They have slept in
the Clerks Office.
Make No Comment
The indicated men began to reach
the city early Saturday morning.
Quietly they entered the Sheriff's
ofiice and declared they were ready
to make bond. Many were well-to-
do farmers. They made no comment
on their indictment. Some, left the
city Immediately after the bonds
were executed; others fingered.
While the accused men displayed
no spirit of lawlessness, feeling here
was tense throughout the day, and
the air was charged with suppressed
excitement. It was declared tonight
that the troops would be kept here
indefinitely. and the general belief is
that they will remain until after the
trial in June.
1t was reported that some of the
indicted men left the county today.
How names of those aina6aAes~sssH

lieves. however, the rest will surren-
der soon.
