DO YOU KNOW THAT

The fire waste in the United
States amounted to over $330,000,-
900 for the year 1920?
Each week over 1900 dwellings
are destroyed by fire?
Twenty to 25 churches and schools
are the toll of the fire demon?
Over 800 lives are sacrificed?
A large percentage of this enor-
nous waste and loss of life in due
to carelessness and the lack OF
proper fire prevention methods. Each
individual can do no greater good
for all than to keep eternally preach
ing the gospel against the useless
the careless, yes, the criminal care

truction from fire.

DOCTORS
EVERYWHERE
Recommend The Use of Camphorated
Oil and Menthol Creams For Re-
lieving Coughs, Colds, Group,
Catarrah, Pneumonia and All
Congested Conditions.

The best form in which to apply
a remedy of this kind will be found
in MINTOL, which not only contains
Menthol, Camphor, Oil of Eucalyptus
and many other healing and anti
septic oils, but also contains germi-
cidal properties which kill the grip
or influenza germ. If MINTOL is ap-
piled to the nostrils it sterilizes the
nose and acts as a preventative as
well as cure for colds and catarrh.
If you. will apply little MINTOL
about the size of a bean to the. back
of the tongue it will sterilize the
throat and relieve hoarseness. coughs
and all throat troubles. When appli-
ed externally to the throat and chest
it will break up congestion and pre-
vent or relieve Group, Whooping
Cough and Pneumonia.
1t is not necessary to use old-fash-
toned blisters, which are often time
either very disagreeable in odor or
cause soreness and annoyance to the
patient and those attending them.
MfNTOL will be found the most eff
fective, modern scientific treatment
for all inflamed conditions. A jar in
the home will protect the whole
whole family from Coughs, Colds
and often times prevent Pneumonia.
If your druggist cannot supply you
we will mail you a jar on receipt or
price 35c, Coo and S1.25. The Home

ellis Decision In Suit for
the Alienation OF
Affections.

The Kentucky Court OF Appeals yes
terday affirmed Judge C. d. Newell's
decision in the important suit Of
Gross administrator vs. James Led
ford
In this case Charles c. Gross
brought suit against james Ledford

sand dollars damages alleging aliena-
ton of his wife's affections. Mr.. Gross
died pending the action, after the
suit was filed and before 1t came up

case in his name but Judge Newell
held that the alleged cause Gross had
against Ledford for the alleged alien
alton Of his wife's affections ended
when Gross died and in this decision
the Court of Appeals has fully affirm
ed him.
So far as is known this is the only
case Of this nature that has ever de-
veloped in Kentucky, at least this is
the first time the Court of Appeals
has been called upon to review such
case and Judge Newell is to be c,n-
graduated in being fully affirmed on
