ARE FILING FAST Mortgage Exemptions Are Being Made Out THE USUAL NUMBER Indications Point to the Usual Number Who Will Comply With Law

Mortgage exemption affidavits are rapidly being filed with County Auditor Michaud, the first week of the period fixed by law for Cling such documents having expired. In addition' I to the large number from real estate owners in out townships, Decatur property owners also are availing themselves of the privilege. Considering the large number of affidavits filed annually comparatively few abuses are noted. Once in a great while an affidavit is made that a mortgage exists on certain real estate, but when the papers are compared with the county records it is found that the mortgage has been released by the owner. Despite the fact that the newspapers have annually sounded the warning to persons entitled to be exempted on account of mortgages that new affidavits must be made each spring and that those of previous years will not apply, it appears that a goodly number of realty owners still retain this jarroneous idea. Many also do not know that non-resident property owners have the same privilege as those in the city, for the affidavit may be made out before any notary anywhere, if the proper facts are set forth, and the affidavit'then mailed to the county auditor. o TRICKER’S Jackson Sootless coal leaves no whiskers on the stove lids.

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE It is Creating a Great Sensation In Many Localities. Many people are now going to the Holthouse drug store to learn all they can of the new remedy that is creating so much talk and newspaper comment. Scores of people throughout the state have been cured by the remedy within the past few months, and testimonials continue to be received from every direction in rapid succession. Here in Decatur and vicinity numbers of people are taking the remedy and many of them are praising it highly, although they have been using it but a short while. 'While the demonstrations were being conducted at Gr-ensburg, Ind., J. W. Boyle, of 116 East Washington street, said: “My wife has been using Root Juice and it is doing wonders for her. Before taking the remedy she had a very bad stomach. The lightest food would sour on her stomachand cause it to burn and pain her very much; in fact, she said she felt like it was raw from top to bottom. Recently her trouble was aggravated by an attack of the lagrippe. Her appetite was very poor, but after taking the juice a few days her appetite returned and she now digests everything she eats without the least pain or inconveniences. She is no longer weak and nervous, but seems like a new woman. The remedy has proved a wonderful blessing to her.” In fact, so manypeople are talking about the new remedy and telling of so much wonderful good it is doing that people are going to’the Holthouse drug store in crowds to get some of the wonder ful medicine.
