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,

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. '

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.
