Parawax, used in preserving, has
jumped from the five-cent to the ten
cent price; and candles are renewing
their youth and are now five cents
apiece and going up. Safety matches
that formerly sold at five cents per
dozen boxes are now on the counter
across the aisle marked up "eight
boxes for a dime," and coat hangers
have advanced a clear one hundred
per cent, so that good ones are no
longer obtained for less than a dime.
The conditions as pictured in
Washington are found to obtain in
all parts of the country, and they are
significant in showing the constantly
diminishing power of the time-honored
nickel.
KENTUCKY'S PART IN UNITED
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.
Kentucky's part in the great nation-wide
war drive to raise ?170,
500,000 for the comfort and morale
of the boys serving with the flag
"over there," "over here" and with
the battleships everywhere, will be
enthusiastically boosted at a big
meeting to be held at theSeelbach
Hotel, in Louisville, to-day, Friday,
Sept. 13th, and will be attended by
representatives from all parts of the
State.
- The great national United War
Work Campaign is to be carried on
jointly by-the seven welfare bodies
recognized by the War Department in
Europe. This is at the suggestion of
President Wilson and the following
organizations will participate: The
Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the
Knights of Columbus, the Jewish
Welfare Board, the American Library
Association, the War Camp Commu
nity Service and the Salvation Army.
As originally planned, the week
of Nov. 11th, was to be given over
to the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W, C. A.,
the War Camp Community Service
and the American Library Associa
tion to raise $130,500,000 for their
united work the coming year. The
Knights of Columbus, the Jewish
Welfare Board and the Salvation
Army were to stage a similar drive
the middle of January. At the recent
request of President Wilson all seven
agencies are now to unite in one big
drive the week of November 11th and
the goal has been set at $170,500,000,
the largest sum ever proposed for
such a purpose in the history of the
world.
Definite plans for the campaign
will be outlined at a complimentary
luncheon to be held at the Seelbach
Hotel in Louisville, Friday at noon,
and will be addressed by the follow
ing speakers, Sherwood Eddy, New
York; W. P. Sidley, Chicago; Leon
ard Paulson, Chicago; Mrs. Henry P.
Davidson, of New York, and others.
This meeting will be attended by
represntatives of the seven agencies
from all parts of the State and will
be the largest conference of its kind
ever held in Kentucky.

DON'T CRIPPLE PRODUCTION.
(New York Commercial.)
We must conserve money and credit
for the winning of the war, but we
must not cripple production. The
cost of this war must come out of
the wealth we create as we go along.
Banks are the trustees of the people.
Their actual capital is only a drop
in the bucket. Ninety per cent, of
the money they lend consists of the
deposits they receive, and these de
posits come from the people who pro
duce real wealth. If the banks are
forced to refuse money to merchants
and manufacturers, and trade and in
dustries are crippled, the sources of
taxation and subscriptions for lib
erty bonds will be dried up. Amer
ica is threatened with interferences
with ordinary business that may
lessen the ability of the people to
supply the sinews -of' war.- For this
reason official letters of J advice to
banks to curtail the extension of
credit are creating anxiety. The bet
ter way would be to stimulate pro
duction and create new wealth upon
which' the G'oVefrfmeht could draw.
CHANGE NOTION' ABOUT
CALOMEL.
New Variety Called Calotabs Is Per
fect Safe and Delightful
With all of the liver cleansing and
system purifying qualities of the old
style calomel, but robbed of its sick
ening, griping and dangerous effects,
Calotabs is destined to become the
most popular of all home remedies, as
it has already become the favorite of
all physicians.
The new style calomel, called Calo
tabs, is perfectly delightful in effect.
One tablet at bedtime with a swallow
of water that's all . No nausea, -no
griping. Next morning you awake
feeling fine, your liver active, your
system purified and with a hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
please, there is no restriction of habit
or diet.
Genuine Calotabs are never sold in
bulk. Ask for the original, sealed
package, price thirty-five cents. Your
druggist recommends and guarantees
Calotabs. (adv)

TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will
Many a Sufferer in Paris.
Help
No woman should consider herself
bealthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretions when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the
kidneys are disordered. If the kid
neys and bladder become inflamed
and swollen worse troubles may
quickly follow. This is often the
cause of bearing-down pains, lame
ness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning is
also frequent cause of headaches, diz
zy spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
Let a Paris woman tell of her expe
rience. Mrs. A. L. Burley, 329 Eighth St.,
says: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills, getting them from the Ardery
Drug Co., and from the benefit I re
ceived, I certainly think they are a
good, reliable remedy. Whenever my
kidneys have acted irreguarly or my
back has been weak and lame, I have
used a box or so of Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always relieved me
of the complaint."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Burley had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
