When you see the Indianapolis News “regretting that there are 'divisions’ in the democratic part}-,” just remember that there are no divisions in the democratic party. And remember also that the Indianapolis News is a republican paper, which has never supported a democratic state or national ticket and that it is doing all it can all the time to create “divisions" among democrats by the persistent publication of all sorts of fakes and falsehoods. A united democratic party is the one thing above all others that the Indianapolis News is opposed to. Mrs. Bradley free—insanity and unwritten law. Thaw acquitted—insanity and unwritten law. Mrs. McDonald free—constructively insanity and* unwritten law. Reasonable presumption that young Beach Hargis will be acquitted on the ground that the murder of his father was a purely familyaffair with which the public need have no concern. Between juries and high courts the puzzle is to find what has become of Ute written law. Fort Wayne Sentinel. Hon. J. Fred France and the Democrats of Huntington county will give a banquet at Huntington on the evening of February 27. The push committee are highly elated over the prospects for a gala time, as the unterrified there are taking unusual interest in the coming event. It is presumed that Jim will take advantage of the occasion to unoork all his latest stories. The contracts have been awarded for the Ward Fence company factory buildings It is their desire to be ready to operate in Decatur by Mayfirst to fifteenth. After their location there will be plenty of evidence of something doing in Decatur. They employ from fifty to seventy-five men and thus far this year are greatly increasing their output. A little elbow grease behind a shovel would greatly enhance the appearance of our main business street, to say nothing of the convenience of the many thousands of pedestrians who daily travel that busy thoroughfare. Bluffton is seriously considering the location and erection of a hospital, and there are some who say that it is needed. NOTICE.

Carroll received a telegram from Huntsville, Ohio, today announcing the sad news that her brother, Michael Shaughnessy, of near that place had dropped dead this morning.

The Latest Beauty Food. According to the dictum of English diet specialists, a free use of currants in daily food is one of the most effective means of producing a clear, rosy complexion. Currants seem also to satisfy the craving both for strong acids and sweets, which are responsible for many muddy or coarse complexions, Besides possessing the incidental advantage of a beauty food, currants are known to be the most nutritious of all fruits, as they almost wholly of grape sugar in me form that is entirely assimilated during digestion. As a consequence of a wide dissemination of these facts through physicians and specialists, the use of currant bread in England has become almost as common as that of ordinary wheat bread. Another “All Sufficient Food.” Currant bread made in the proportions of about three parts of currants to seven parts of dough has been found upon analysis to contain every ingredient necessary to complete human nourishment To the food values of the flour the currants add their 73 per cent of sugar in its most valuable form, known as “Invert sugar,” a composite of dextrose and levulose, which is potential in producing and maintaining energy and vitality. Sir Francis Laking, King Edward’s famous physician, recently pointed out in an article in the Scientific American that currants also assist digestion, allay nervous excitement and provide against nervous exhaustion. Best Food For Athletes. Some one has been looking up the training diet of ancient Greek athletes, whose powers of endurance have never been equaled. It is discovered that the chief items in the athletes’ diet were bread, cheese, thin wine and liberas quantities of the seedless currants, which to this day grow nowhere in the world outside of Greece. Investigation along the same line has left to the discovery that Nelson's oailors lived on pork, supplemented by a mixture of flour and dried currants, which not only contain a larger proportion of nourishment than any other dried fruit, but are also more easily digested.
