A company capitalized at $500,

Health Hint.
There are no amusements so
useful as those that excite laugh¬
ter, There are a set of nerves
called the risible, and portions
of the brain and body that are
exercised by laughter. These
the Ureator designed should be
used, and all who have attended
most to physiology and the laws
of health declare that nothing is
more promotive of good health
than a hearty laugh. Let some
portion of each day be allowed
for recreation, especially by per¬
sons whose minds are burdened
by cares of duties.
From reliable sources it has
been leurned that the Atlanta
law firm of Anderson, Felder
Rountree A Wilson will receive
between $150,000 and $200,000
as their fee for their services in
winning the famous South Caro¬
lina dispensary commission
recently decided m fa vor of their
clients, ami involving about $1,
000,000 in cash on hand, and be¬
tween $2,000,000 and $8,000,000
in claims. This will, no doubt,
L« the record fee in the south,
When this firm was employed in

v ere given a cash retaining fee
of $i(H),000, and made a contract
f r a commission of so much on

day. When people invest their
money in this kind of industry
they look ahead. The immense
building operations going on here
are aw indication of the eorifi

A HEROIC DEED
SHE Cut Flesh From Body to
Feed Hungry Children.
Port Arthur, Mont., April 7.—
William McKirdy confirms a sto¬
ry that an Indian woman living
north of here cut a piece of' flesh
from her body in an effort to se¬
cure food for her childred when
they were starving.
McKirdy states that the wo¬
man and children were in desper
ate straights. The last scrap of
food had been eaten days before
md there was no game, though
the woman hunted until her
strength was gone. In this piti¬
able condition she seized a knife
and cut, a strip of llesh from her
body. This flesh was used as
bait with which to catch fish and
thus sustained life until help ar¬
rived.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local treatment, as the can
toe reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf¬
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
thr Eustachian Tube. When
tliis tube is suilamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
eloseu, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflamation can
tie taken out and this tube r>
stored to its normal condition
bearing will be destroyed forev¬
er; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is not h¬
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Dollars for any case of Deafness

PROHIBITION LAW VALID.
So Says Supreme Court of Ala*
bama,
Montgomery, Ala., April 6.—
The supremo court has declared
the state prohibition law valid,
all the judges concurring in the
opinion. Tnis is the second time
the court has upheld the state
wide act of the last legislature,
It was attacked on several con
stitutional grounds,
The Alabama state-wide pro
li i bit ton law went into e fleet
Jan. I. At once an attack was
made in Birmingham, Mobile
and Selma, the case from the
place being taken to the
high court. All the judges agree
that the law is valid.
It is understood now that the
law officers will begin a campaign
for the enforcement of the act.
Heretofore they have been very
^ ax because of the doubt about
the validity of the law. T he
opinion was rendered by Justice
Anderson,
“1M Rather Die, Reeior,
than have my tcet cut ofl‘,’ ! said
d. L. Bingham, of Princevilie,
III, “hut you’ll die from gan
grene (which had eaten away

ILLICIT DISTILLING
Some Interesting Details From!
The National Capital,
Qecent reports received by the!
treasury department clearly in-j
dicates that illicit distilling is on !
the increase, particularly m Geor-!
gia, Alabama “dry” ami North Caroli-j
na, three states, and the
THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, A.i’RIL 16, 1909.
increase is charged up to the!
prohibition laws enacted by thete
stated which prohibit not only
the sab but also the nmufactu e
of liquor.
The fiscal year of the govern¬
ment begins and ends July 1,
ami it in therefore impossible to
give the figures for the entire
year,bbt for the nine mouths
that have passed, 1,017 illicit
stills have been destroyed, as
against 1,000 for the twelve
months of the previous year. Of¬
ficials of the internal revenue
department are quite sure that
the complete record For the pres¬
ent fiscal year, with throe months
yet to go, will far surpass this
number.
Tbo Atlanta district, singular¬
ly, leads the lisr. During the
month of December last, it is
stated that 120 stills wore de¬
stroyed in this one district.
In connection with this work
of running down so-called“moon
sliiners” and destroying their
stilts it is of interest to consid¬
er some of the details of this
hazardous work. There are em
ployed at Atlanta 17 deputies;
at Ashville, N. (',, 15; and at
Columbus,-i$. O., 28. These of¬
ficers are constantly engeged in
raiding work.
Nearly 800 persons have beer,
employed from time to time
within recent months, and, in
addition, many guides familiar
with the mountain country to
which illicit distilling is largely
confined, are engaged by the gov¬
ernment.
Then there are a number of m.
formers—how many cannot be
stat ed. The posse-men and guides
operate on the information sup¬
plied by these informers, whose
remuneration is entirely inade¬
quate to the danger involved.
The informer usually gets #5 f«.r
his information, though some¬
times ho may he handed a ten
.spot.
The records show that during
the part eight yeai; the
ties to officer* a mV men engaged
in raiding were eleven, and
altogether (5,700 persons were ar j
rested. .Since July 1 there has
been only one casualty, a depu¬
ty marshall killed in Kentucky.
You should not delay tinder
any circumstances in cases of
Kidney and Bladder trouble.
Von should take something
promptly that you know is relia¬
ble, something like .DeWitt’s
Kidney and Bladder Fills. They
are unequaled for weak back,
backache, inflammation of the
bladder, rheumatic pains, etc.
When you ask for DeWitt’s Kid¬
ney and Bladder Fills, be sure
you get them. They are antisep¬
tic. Accept no substitutes: in¬
