The
Cruel Knife!
It is absolutely useless to expect a surgical operation to cure cancer, or any other blood disease. The cruelty of such treatment is illustrated in the alarming number of deaths which result from it.. The disease is in the blood, and hence can not be cut out Nine times out of ten the surgeon's knife only hastens death.
My son lind a most mnlipn-nt Cancer, fot which the doctors Kiid an operation was the only hope. Tlioonoratlon was a seven1 one, as it, was nocossary to cut down to the jawbun« a 11 scrape it,. Before a great while the Cancer returned, and liecan to grow rapidly We gave him ninny remedies without relief, and ii ii a 1 1 upon the advice ol' a lriend, docided to try S. S. S. (fcwiftV Specific), and witlnSfK® the second bottle he vV\v,«i •began to improve. After twenty bottles hac been taken, the Cancer disappeared entirely and he was cured. The cure was a Dcrmanenl one. for he is now seventeen years old. and has never had a sipn of the dreadful disease to return. I- N. MURDOCH. 279 Snodgrass St., Dallas,

Big Business iu Wire,
Sixteen carloads of wire in six months represents the wire business of Voris fc Cox. They have the credit of being the largest retail customers of the Indiana Wire Fence, a concern that does business all over the central western states. This shows enterprise.

Hoard of Charities Report.
The board of the state charities has just issued its annual report, which contains'some interesting statements and figures. The report deals with all the charitable institutions of the state, as well as the lils, penitentiaries, etc It says that our jiil system "is not a 'thing to be .commended," although there arei some modern structures
The poor asylums, it says, vary from structures of brick to"miserable frame shanties.
The truancy law cost 851,351.04 during the year, ending Sept. 1. Tne truant officers received 835,544 01 for their work in getting 21,447 pupils into school. Of these children. 7,350 received aid iu order that they could go to school. The average paid to each truant officer was 8169, and the average cost per pupil, of the total amount expended, was near 82.40.
There are 1,728 dependent children under 17 years of age in the orphan asylums and poor houses. The aid given by the township trustees is also set forth. During the p«6t year aid was given to 7,118 less persons than the previous year, and the amount expended was 813,136.75 less than the year before. Assistance was given to 2,101 more females thaa males. The c&Bes of transportation have been reduced from 3,035, two years ago, to 1,412 last year. The report shows that aid was extended ia Montgomery county to 1 person in 30 of inhabitants in Fountain, 1 in 17 Tippecanoe, 1 in 25 Carroll, 1 in 26 Vigo, 1 in 34 Mario, 1 in 40 St. Joseph, 1 in 23 Vangrburg, 1 in 26 Starke, 1 in 18 Elkhart, 1 in 21 Kosciusko, 1 in 24 Boone, 1 in 38 Monroe, 1 in 19.
What Do the Children Drink?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-OS1 It is delicious and nourishing and takes the place of coffee. The more GItAIN-Oyou give the Children tna more health you distribute through their systems. QrainO Is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs about

THE NORWAY LIQUOR LAW.
Business Conducted In a Way That Ofl'ers No Attractions.
Prof. F. G. Peabody, in the Forum, gives a description of the actual workings of the liquor laws of Norway, more popularly known as the "Gothenburg system Its results are similar to those of the South Carolina dispensary system and less likely to become alflicted with political abuses. In South Carolma the state takes entire control, in Norway the traffic is in charge of companies whose profits arc limited to five per cent., the surplus going to public charities or benevolence of some form. In both cases the worst feature of the liquor traffic, the motive of private gain, i& eliminated. Prof. Peabody says: "Precisely hosv one of these companies operates may be indicated by asingle illustration. Bergen is a city of 54,000 inhabitants, with a great fishing business and a considerable foreign trade. If to the commerce of Portland, Me., we should add the fisheries of Gloucester, Mass thesocial conditions along the docks of Bergen would be about represented. In an American town of this character we should have either licensed saloons up to the legal limit of number, with every possible solicitation to drink and every kind of disorder, or else we should have an attempt at prohibition, with the brazen defiance of law and the fiery adulterations of liquor which are to be found along the wharves of Portland. In Bergen there are nine saloons and four wholesale depots. The company has a capital of 830,000, in four hundred shares, held by 237 stockholders. Among these are many of the leading citizens, bankers, consuls, teachers, a member of parliament and ten women. It is not only a part of public spirit to take stock in the company, but the shareholder has also some part in determining to what form of charity the profits shall go. "The Bergen company happens to be among the most limited in its scope of operations. It deals with the distilled liquor business only and it makes no attempt to provide in its saloons any element of sociability or agreeableness. When one enters a company retail 6hop in Bergen he finds it a place of the most cheerless and repellant character. There are no tables or chairs or encouragements for idlers, but simply counters provided with the small glasses of the compiny, measured like an apothecary's, for the exact dose. A customer enters, drinks his thimblefull, as if of medicine, and at once withdraws. Instead of solicitation there is the barest permission. The business is conducted, as it were, under protest and nothing but the most resolute determination to drink— a determination which no prohibitory law would be able to frustrate—6eems likely to draw one into these inhospitable dispensaries. On the walls are various deterrent notices like the following-: 'No credit,' no loafing,' 'no disorderly conduct,' 'no sale to an intoxicated person.' ,The regulations set forth that it is the duty of the superintendent not to encourage, but to check, excessive drinking. No liquor can be sold to minors. The saloons are open from S to 12 in the morning and from 1:30 to 7 in the afternoon. On Sundays and holidays they close at 1 p. m. That is to say the 6ale stops just when an American bar begins its best business: and the prohibition which could not be obtained outright is obtained for every evening and every non-working day. Except at these stores it is practically impossible to buy a drink of spirits in Bergen. A traveler staying at the leading hotel and wishing to fill his tiask for the exigencies of a long journey, must go a half mile to the company's wholesale depot, and must then buy not less than a half bottle of brandy."
Those Fetching Couplets.
Valentine's day is coming slowly along and already it seems that the young and sentimental are getting verses in readiness for the festival. Some years ago it was customary with many people to send out cards tied with various colored ribbons with two lines of verse to go with each shade. A subscriber has written asking that these verses be taken out of the cedar chest and given to a waiting public for use this coming 14th of February. Here they are: "If for me your love is true.
Send me hack my bow of blue. I f, alas, your love is dead, Send me back my bow of red. If some foe has come between, Send me back my bow of green. If you love me, as I think, Send me back by bow of pink. If you love some other fellow. Send me back by bow of yellow. If you love me day and night, Send me back my how of white." It will be seen that these stanzas are very fetching and the man or woman who gets them will doubtless be melted to tears. It is no wonder that the poet who wrote them went and lost himself forever afterward.
Mrs. Abnor V. Austin.
The death of Mrs. A. V. Austin occurred last Tuesday at her home in Thorntawn from the grip. Mrs. Austin has many relatives and friends in this city.

NON-STATE COLLEGE BILL.
For the Reorganization of the State Board of Education.
Senator Goodwin, chairman of the senate committee on education, Tuesday introduced the bill which has been agreed upon by the non-state colleges for the reorganization of the state board of education.

"The superintendent of public instruction shall, ex-fficio, ba president of the board, and, in his absence, the members present shall elect a president pro tempore. The board shall elect one of its members secretary and treasure:, who shall have custody of its records, papers and effects, and shall keep rniuuies of its proceedings provided, that such records, papers, effects and minutes shall be kept at the office of the superintendent, and shall be opeh for his inspection. "The said board shall meet, upon the call of the president, or a majority ot its members, at 6uch place, in the state, as may be designated in the call, and shall devise, adopt and procure a seal, on the face of which shall be the words 'Indiana state board of education,' such other device or motto as the board may direct, an impression and written description of which shall be recorded on the minutes of the board and filed in the office of the secretary of state, which seal shall be used for the authentication of the acts of the board, and the important acts of the superintendent of public instruction."

A,n\vler-Hernley.
Tuesday at two o'clock p. ra. at th.e residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Ramsey, on east Main street, occurred the marriage of Mr. Clarence D. Lawler and Miss Katherine May Hernley. Only the relatives of the cjntracting parties witnessed the ceremony which was simple and pretty, being performed by the Rev. S. H. Creighton, of Indianapolis. The bride was attired in a becoming costume of green broadcloth, trimmed in white satin. The residence was prettily decorated. Mr. and Mrs. Lawler begin housekeeping at once at 607 west Pike street in a home they have newly fitted up and they are attended in their venture by the best wishes o' all.
Knd of the Century.
A week or so ago THE JOURNAL was asked by a correspondent if the 19th century closed with the present year, and replied that it did. There has been and still is considerable discussion on this point, but THE JOURNAL reverses its first decision. The 19th century closes with December 31, 1900. A contract running to the end of the 19th century holds good until that date, no matter what may ba said on the subj jet, The explanation is simple enough. The first-year of grace ended on December 31, and consequently the first century ended Dec. 31, 100. The 19 th century accordingly ends Dec. 31, 1900.

Why are Allcock's the best plasters? Because they make the cures where all others fail. Whydo they make the cures? Because they contain the right materials. Compare their fine aromatic odor with the nasty smell of all other plasters. Your sense of smell will tell you which is the best. Did you know that Allcock's have a greater sale than all the other kinds put together? Did you know that all makes and brands of so-called porous plasters are in imitation of Allcock's? But they imitate in appearance only. Don't waste your money in buving the false. Get ALLCOCK'S, the standard plaster of the world.
