Remember, young man, that this' greatest of all countries in the wide world has a sustaining capacity of at least 300,000,000 of people. At present we have a population of Jess than one hundred millions. Obviously the opportunities to reach out and to con- , quer are great—greater than any- i where else on God’s fotstool. What is in your mind about reaching out for the things attainable and obtainable? , Do you imagine that they will go as ter you, or have you gumption enough to understand that, you will have to go after them? Be honest with your- 1 self, and govern yourself accordingly. ' Is it your purpose to be a deadhead , in the onward movement, taking the i ■world easy, or will you determine to 1 become a factor in the country’s as- ' fairs, somewhere, somehow ?—South j Bend Times. Hon Clark J. Lutz as county attorney, has many times demonstrated his knowledge of county reform law. By the action of the commissioners in continuing his services, they gave expression to a deserved acknowledgment of a service well performed. Mr. Lutz has served the county faithfully and well, and deserved the recognition given. Decatur is deeply sensitive to the honor of having Bishop J. H. Vincent among us, even for the short time allotted for the Methodist "District Conference. He has given a lifetime to the religious cause as promulgated through the channels of Methodism, ; and in addition is a man of great ability, learning and eloquence. ' Muncie has been visited this week with a bevy of district politicians, most all of whom are insisting on the candidacy of Mr. Cromer, of Muncie, as th e congressional candidate. —Cromer's Muncie Observer. Three cheers for Bluffton I What’s I the matter with Geneva and Decatur? ; Wake up and climb on the water wagon!—Berne Witness. Dan Bailey went to Geneva today to be the guest of friends and relatives. L. E. Summers has returned from a business trip to Kalamazoo, Mich., in the interest of the G. R. & I. ailroad company. Charles Force returned today from Sturgis, Mich., where he and Frank I Parrish bought a picture show. He ! will move his family to that place.

No. 1180 was the lucky ticket at Stoneburner’s last night, but no one held it and another will be selected this evening. You must be there if you want the gold piece. Th e ticket is announced at each performance. The program for tonight includes “The Starvling.” a very pathetic film and “The Story of the Eggs,” a humorous one. Song, “Like the Rose, You're the Fairest Flower.” Something doing Wednesday and Friday evenings. “MA'S NEW HUSBAND" NEXT. Big City Show at the Opera House Thursday Night. The “Topsy” of“ Ma's New Husband" is even more eccentric and entertaining than the original character of that name ever was. So at least several critics say. Dorothy is the name of the maid of all work, who figures as the comedienne in this three act musical farce that has been crowding houses and turning away well pleased audiences everywhere it has appeared. Dorothy is droll in her manner, her talk, and actions and she is clever in a musical way, besides. Her comedy song “Jokes,” is one of the musical hits of the performance, tn the duet “A Kiss,” a comic song, she also succeeds in raising many a laugh. Press exchanges agree in stating that “Ma’s New Husband" is about the biggest laugh maker on the road this season. No one should miss seeing it at the Bosse,where it will be presented on Thursday evening next. Seats will i be on sale at Holthouse Drug Co. Wednesday. GIVEN UP TO DIE. B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia St., Evansville. Ind., writes: “For over fiv e years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley’s Kidney’ Cure was recommended and the first boti tie gave me great relief, and after i taking the second bottle I was entirely cured.” Why not let it help vou? THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

After Piles have existed for a long time and passed through different stages, the suffering is intense—pain, aching, throbbing, tumors form, filled to bursting with black blood.

It will euro the most stubborn case in existence and a guarantee to that effect goes with each package. It is to be had for SI.OO at Holthouse Drug Co., or from Dr. Leonhardt Co., Niagara Falls, N.

POULTRY SHOW AT BERNE. Adam* County Association May Meet There. The Adams County Poultry assoi elation contemplates holding its . next poultry exhibition at Berne next ! winter, provided a suitable location ■ can be secured and enough interest worked up. The president of the association, Mr. D. M. Rice, desires to i meet as many of the people here as I possible tomorrow at the town hall at 1 o’clock p. m. The judge whom the association enj gaged for next year is an expert who ' will not only come to score the birds, I but who will give a lecture each day on some phase of the poultry subject. And an hour or more will be spent each day in conducting a poultry auction, which will be in charge of a wide-awake auctioneer. If sufficient interest is manifested the association will also conduct a corn show in connection with the poultry show. These announcements are made now so that people can work all summer with a view of having some poultry or corn to bring to the show next winter. It would certainly be well for Berne and the community if the farmers in this end of the county would take an interest in this enterprise, and a room in town can be secured large enough to accommodate the association. — Berne Witness. -o PUBLIC SALE.

Some physicians say " les.” Some say “No.” The real question is, “What is meant by Eczema?’’ If you mean those scaly eruptions, those disease which make their first appearance, not at biith. but years afterward, and perhaps not until middle age—then there can no longer be any question that these forms of Eczema are curable. Simple vegetable oil of Wintergreen mixed with other vegetable ingred ients, will kill the germs that infest the skin. Apply this prescription to the skin, and instantly that awfu! itch is gone. The very moment the liquid is applied, that agonizing tantalizing itch disappears, and continued applications of this external remedy soon cure the disease. We carry in stock this oil of wintergreen properly compounded into D. D. D. Prescription. While we are not sure that it will cure all those cases of skin trouble which are inherited, we positively know that this D. D. D. Prescription, whenever rightly used, will cure every last case of genuine Eczema or other skin trouble, which did not exist at birth. We know this. Any way you, yourself, will know that D. D. D.
