A WOMAN'S WORK sometimes reduces her strength to the depths of weakness her devotion to household cares prevents sufficient rest and recreation. Thousands of women in this condition find Scott's Emulsion exactly what they need; it is predigested body-food so medically perfected that every drop yields direct returns in strengthening the organs and tissues and in making healthy, life-sustaining blood. Scott's Emulsion is devoid of alcohol or any harmful drugs, and overcomes tiredness and nervousness in a marvelous way. Not an Applicant Although it has been repeatedly pub lished that Col. Woodson May. of Som erset, is an applicant for the Danville Collectorship, the Advocate is reliably informed that he has never had any in tention of applying for the place. Mr. May is doing a great service for the dem- tcratic party in the republican Gibraltar of Kentucky. He is serviug his second term as a member of the State Central Committee in the biggest Congressional district in the State; he was a member of the last State campaign committee, making the fight for President Wilson; he was one of the first men appointed by Gov. McCrearv on bis staff; be wa one of the three members of the Statt campaign . committee who constituted the press bureau for the National cam paign in Kentucky; and Mr. May is also a member of the executive committee of the State Democratic Editorial Asso sociation and is the editor of the only democratic paper in the Eleventh dis trict. Notwithstanding his great ser vice for the democratic party and for Gov. James B. McCreary in his race, the Eleventh district has practically not been recognized by the chief executive in the distribution of patronage. It looks like the Governor is making a critical mistake in not rewarding such men as Mr. May and men of his caliber in the Eleventh. Danville Advocate. Rubber Tires.
