A STATEMENT BY THE AMERI CAN TOBACCO COMPANY IN RELATION TO THE TOBACCO SITUATION IN KENTUCKY. New York, Feb. 3. Relative to the recent disturbances in Kentucky, the American Tobacco Company has is sued the following statements In Kentucky there are several distinct types of tobacco grown burley to bacco. Green River tobacco and dark fired tobacco. The American To feacco Company is a large buyer of fcurley tobacco, using approximately sixty per cent of the total production. It uses also large quantities of Green River tobacco, taking, perhaps, a third of the total production. Of the ink fired tobacco, The American To iacco Company uses substantially one, but American Snuff Company, in which company The American To bacco Company owns stock, uses bout fifteen per cent of the total production. There has been no disorder in Ken tucky in the burley tobacco growing section; there has been very little dis order in the Green River section; but fiie disorder has been in the dark fired section of Kentucky and Ten aessee at Hbpkinsville, Russellville, Clarksville, and other points This dark fired tobacco, is bought princi pally by buyers representing The To bacco Manufacturing Government Monopolies of Italy, France and Spain, but to some extent by Ameri can Snuff Company, and to some ex tent by The Imperial Tobacco Com pany of Great Britan. The affairs of the American Tobacco Company, the Imperial, Tobacco Company and Am rican Snuff Company have been aider Government investigation for more than two years. The Depart ment of Commerce and Labor has lad access to all the books and papers f these companies; employes and of ficers of these companies have been Wfore numerous grand juries and equity examiners. The fullest pos sible examination has been made by all of these agencies into all (includ ing the most private) letter books and other papers of these companies, and there has been the most thorough eramanation and cross-examination ef their officers and employes. It is inconceivable that if there exists or tad ever existed any combination of buying interests it should not have ben disclosed. The fact is that there exists no such combination. No in terest in any way connected or allied with the American Tobacco Com pany is in combination with any other buying interest; no understanding, agreement, arrangement or combina tion exists between the American Tobacco Company or American Snuff Company and the Imperial Tobacco Company, or between any of these companies and any Government or ether purchaser. It is simple and wholly untrue that there is any contest between the to bacco growers, or tobacco dealers in Kentucky, and the so-called tobacco trust Where disorder has occured the so-called tobacco trust is the smallest factor in the purchase of to bacco. Where the so-called tobacco trust is the largest purchaser of to bacco there has been no disorder nor lawlessness. As a matter of fact also, the prices bow being paid for leaf tobacco grown in Kentucky and elsewhere are very much higher than they were ten years ago, and their trend has been constantly upward since the so-called tobacco trust was organized. ine land on winch tobacco is grown can be used to grow other crops; burley tobacco is grown on the famous blue grass lands, the Virginia leaf is largely grown on lands well adapted to the growth of cotton. It is inconceivable that the so-called to bacco trust (even if it had a monoply in the purchase of tobacco, which it bas not, not being the purchaser di rectly or indirectly of half the tobacco produced in the United States) would attempt to depress the price of leaf and thu? drive the farmers to these other crops. , , The so-called tobacco trust is con stantly buying tobacco in Kentucky and elsewhere, and is always ready to purchase tobacco' from anyone, whether an individual or association, that has it for sale. It has never thrown any obstacle in the way of the organization or success of any of the so-called farmer's associations. ADVERTISING A FINE ART. Valentine P. Jones has just re turned to his home at Union Hill con siderably happier than when he left it only a week ago. He had suffered from a long run of unusually hard luck. Misfortune dogged his foot steps, and the wolf at the door howled so oludly that he couldn't sleep nights. ' f He had been out of work for a long time. A mortgage of $475 was short ly coming due on his little home. There was sickness in the family, and no money in the bank. At this juncture, with the future considerably fuller of gloom than an egg is of meat, Mr. Jones chanced to see the following advertisement in a newspaper: WANTED Experienced man to open oysters. Apply in per son at Andrew's Oyster Palace. Now Valentine P. Jones had never opened an oyster in his life, but he was simply a wonder at husking corn and sprouting potatoes, and he made up his mind that opening oysters would be an easy, comfortable, and possibly lucraive occupation. So he aplied for the job. He got it. He held it for almost fifteen min utes. During this short incumbency of his exalted position, he demon strated thoroughly that what he knew about opening oysters was absolute ly zero, and Andrew unfeelingly threw him out into the street. ' Not being satisfied with this in dignity he aimed a particularly large and hardshelled oyster at the head of valentine as the latter was endeavor ing to scramble to his feet. It struck fairly but glanced off, hurled itself against the curbstone and opened of its own accord. As it did so, a round milk-white object rolled out in Valen tine's direction. He picked it up and examined it. It looked good to him. He took it to a jeweler, who, after carefully exam ining and tested it, informed the de lighted Mr. Jones that it was a pearl of great purity and much value. After considerable dickering, jeweler brought the pearl for hundred good American dollars. Mr. Jones promptly paid off mortgage which had been threatening to wipe his little home out of exis tence, and when last seen was en gaged in appropriately clebrating his good fortune with the remaining $25, Want Advertising in the Astorian may not invariably produce the re markable results which Valentine P, JoneS secured, but if you wantto buy or sell anything, to secure a position. that a small and inexpensive Want Advertisement will do the business or help of any kind, you will find and do it quickly. RECIPE FOR COLDS. Mix half pint of good whis- key with two ounces of glyc- erinc and add one-half ounce Concentrated oil of pine. The bottle is to be well fhaken each time and used in doses of a tcaspoonfut to a tablespoon- ful every four hours, The Concentrated oil of pine comes in one-half ounce vials packed securely in tin screw top cases which arc intended to protect it from light and retain all the original ozone. Don't use bulk oil of pine or imitations of Concentrated. They are in- , soluble and work havoc to the kidneys. Any druggist has the Concentrated oil of pine. It will alo be found a most ex- cellcnt remedy for lumbaao and all forms of uric acid rheumatism. For this purpose it is taken raw, a few drops on sugar at night and morn- ing. Concentrated oil of pine is the result of many years' ex- perimenting by one of Phila- dclphia's foremost doctors who after endless research at last secured a truly soluble oil of pine, so make sure to get the real thing. It also makes an excellent salve to be applied externally on the chest or bruised, parts. For this purpose a teaspoonful of the raw oil added to a saucerful of hot lard. ' Died at Leeds, Eng.

Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed Without Use of Injurious Drugs. Great inventors often have been praised for surrendering the secrets of their discoveries. Practically the same thing happening in the medical world in the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of Chicago. Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac tice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was prac tically a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum, and other itching skin diseases. But the oil of wintergreen alone was found ineffective. It required other mild in gredients such as glycerine and thy moil compounded with the winter green to produce the real eczema crue. This compounded D. D. D. Pre scription positively takes away the itch at once the instant it is applied to the skin. This vegetable liquid does away with deleterious drugs so long used in an attempt to doctor the Hood, whereas modern science has determined that eczema is first and all the time a skin disease. 1 1 you want to know more about the merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call at our store. We vouch for this remedy. Charles Rogers & Son. Out and About Alien Hughes has sufficiently re covered from his recent illness to be about again.
