The Baltimore Sun calls attention to the fact that with the healthiest occupation in the world, farmers are not on the average longer lived than persons of sedentary habits. The cause is to be found, as the Sun sets forth, in the almost criminal carelessness of the average farmer. The conditions of his life are unsanitary. Pig pens, cow yards an<j wells or springs fire in dangerous proximity. There are no properly arranged slop-drains. He is reckless of the weather, going with wet clothing and wet feet. Often he denies himself proper sleep; and his wife, worn out by hard work through lack of proper conveniences and possibly ignorant of proper methods of cooking, aids in shortening the days of both. It is to change these conditions that the work of the Roosevelt commission was directed—South Bend Times. There are some republican papers in this state that are disposed to criticise Senator Beveridge for ignoring the temperance question in his address to the republican editors recently at Indianapolis. At the time the senator spoke the state senate was in the throes of the greatest battle of the session, and the issue was the existence or the repeal of the county option law. The republican platform and party in the state stood for county option. Senator Beveridge could have taken up the matter and spoken a word of encouragement L o the senators of his party without any impropriety. But he side-stepped. He never mentioned the matter. Last campaign many republican papers that are silent as to the silence of Beveridge on this question, were severe in condemning Marshall because he would not repudiate his party platform and take a stand on county option —an unreasonable and unfair demand. Senator Beveridge is looking ahead two years. —Columbia City Post. Don't wait until your blood is impoverished and you are sick and ailing, but ake Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea now.

WAS THE BEST EVER 329 Horses Were Disposed of at the Sale Yesterday MANY ATTENDED $50,000 Changed Hands— Sale Lasted Until 6:30 O’Clock To say that yesterday’s horse sale was a success is putting it mildly, as not only the number ofyinimals disposed of was larger than ever before, but the quality was also the best and for the first time since the organization of the company the sale continued until after six o'clock in the evening. At least 225 horses found new homes yesterday and consequently more than fifty thousand dollars changed hands. Buyers representing companies all over the country were here and never before was bidding so spirited throughout the sale. Fine specimens of horseflesh were brought into the auction room and by the time the buyers turned around to see who was bidding a new home was found for the animals. The time of the year is here when the demand for draft and general purpose horses is gi eat and had there been one hundred more on hand they could have easily been disposed of. The sale continued until 6:30 last evening and until the last animal was sold the crowd was held.

THE GREAT ROOT JUICE IS HERE It is Predicted That Many Will Call at Hofthouse Drug Store During the Demonstration. The Root Juice demonstrations begin at Holthouse drug store today. The scientist said: “I earnestly hope that Root Juice will do as much good in Decatur as it has at Fort Wayne and other points. It is easy to say a remedy will cure certain troubles, but we have positive proofs that Root Juice will cure rheumatism, indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, constpatlon, nervous weakness and most of the kidney complaints. It cures by removing or destroying germs that often infest the body, and weaken and disease the digestive and secretory organs. The Juice also has a wonderful soothing, healing and tonic action o nthe stomach, bowels, bladder, liver and kidneys. What it has i done at other points, it certainly can Ido in Decatur, I feel safe in predict ing that in less than two weeks scores of local people will be loud in their praise of the health promoting juice.” Newspaper reports indicate that many experience rapid improvement from the very start. The demonstrations will continue at the Holthouse drug , store a few days. The juice is sold for $1 a bottle or three bottles for $2.50. It has created a great sensation during the past few months on account of the many seemingly reit has made.

ailments have developed which makes it impossible for her to survive long. The afflicted woman has been ill for some time, her condition growing more serious each day and at times she is irrational. Softening of the brain has been brought about as a consequence of other conditions, and the woman is in a pitiful conditon, which fact will enlist the sympathy of her large acquaintanceship. No hopes whatever..are entertained for her recovery and she has but to await the coming of the death angel. The woman has but little control of her mental faculties and is rational but a small portion of the time. 0 IT SAVED HIS LEG. “AU thought I’d lose my leg,"writes J. A.
