Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class mail matter. J. H. HELLER, Manager. Talk of an income tax has been revived in Washington. The proposition is to tax all incomes of more than $5,000. Such a tax would not affect the vast majority of the people, but the chances are it would be declared unconstitutional. A better plan | would be to pass a revenue tariff bill, one that would take a fair share of the government revenues from each individual, according to his purchases. That is what ought to be done, but probably not what will be done. Too many special favors are being asked for, and in fact, demanded.—Columbia City Post.

The operation 'pf "Wheat King" Patten are on a par with the majority o£ deals in other commodities. It is simply an exemplification of the pernicious effects of creating artficial prices. Wall street does this sort of business most of the time, byway of stock gambling. Congress does a large part of putting "jokers” into tariff bills. Contractors in the larger cities play at it by paying tribute to labor agitators like “Sknny” Madden in Chicago. Every interference with the laws of trade—with supply and demand —contributes to the evils of the day. It's this abomination of artificial prices that hurts in everyday life, and yet there are thousands upon thousands of persons who in one way or another foster, encourage and vitalize this very abomination. — South Bend Times.

All Distress from Stomach and Indigestion Vanishes in Five Minutes. Take your sour stomach —or maybe you call it Indigestion. Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn’t matter —take your stomach trouble right with yo uto your pharmacist and ask him to open a SO-cent ease of Pape's Diapepsln and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your stomach misery. The correct name for your trouble is i Food Fermentation —food souring; the digestive organs become weak, there is lack of pastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure ' and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain ' in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of i 1 gas, biliousness, sick headache, ner- ! vouness, dizziness and many other * similar symptoms. If your appetite is fickle, and nothing tempts you, or you belch gas or if c you feel boated after eating, or your c food lies like a lump of lead on your 1 stomach, you can make up your mind 1 that at the bottom of all this there is *• but one cause —fermentation of undi- * gested food. Prove to yourself, after your next 1 meal, that your stomach is as good as * any; that there is nothing really 1 wrong. Stop this fermentation and ’ begin eating what you want without 1 fear of discomfort or misery. Almost instant relief is waiting for 1 you. It is merely a matter of how 1 soon you take a little Diapepsin. s

TURNING DEAF EAR (Continued from page 1) and did not expect him to jump into a race for the senate during his administration. It is intimated that the governor is somewhat inclined to regard the efforts to boom him for the senate as a personal reflection on his integrity. He promised to administer the affairs of the state to the best of his ability, and he has made up his mind that the way to do it is to stick to the office and look after the duties connected with it. If he should he elected to the senate he would be compelled to resign, which necessarily would mean that he would have to disregard every’ campaign pledge. The politicians and personal followers who have importuned him to stand for the senate have lured him with promises that would prove attractive under ordinary conditions. They have pointed out the importance of Indiana, politically, to the nation, and that the opportunity he would have in the senate at this time might make him the logical candidate for the presidency in 1912. They have painted their picture in attractive colors, but the governor has been unmoved by their artistic work. He will try to stick to his job here til! his term expires, and to look after it in such a manner that the people will not regret having elected him.

SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EXPERIMENTING. The Scientist Made a Great Discovery When a man is in doubt it becomes bis duty to investigate and when proof is piled upon proof it is time to be convinced. There Is nothing in life so valuable as good health. The reporter of this article personally knows of several people here that are rapidly regaining their health because they investigated the proofs produced by the Root Juice people and were convinced. We positively know that an eminent scientist devoted several years of his life to hard study and spent over ten thousand dollars experimenting before the afflicted were permitted to try his great discovery, which is now curing people all over the country, after all other remedies had failed. If you bloat and belch sour gases; if you food lays heavy on the stomach: if you have any symptoms of indigestion, we honestly believe that one dose of Root Juice will convince you of its wonderful merits. Root Juice soothes and heals the mucous lining of the stomach, bowels and bladder and at the same time heals and strengthens the liver and kidneys. It prevents fermentation of food in the stomach and bowels and stops formation of acid by causing the digestive fluids to be supplied in sufficient quantities in a natural way and giving the liver and kidneys health and strength to do the work nature intended them to do. The blood will soon be filtered of all impurities and good rich blood will be made to nour ish the whole body. Poor, weak women and dyspeptic, backaching, rheumatic men, take this advice before it is too late: Go immediately and get a bottle of Root Juice. Now on sale, $1 a bottle, or six bottles for $5.00 at Holthouse drug store. o—CHANGED MY BUSINESS.

BANK ORGANIZED Hoagland Will Have a Money Center of Their Own Soon A NEW BUILDING Was Begun Today—Capital Stock is Fifteen Thousand Dollars Hoagland, a thriving and prosperous little town north of this city a few miles, is to have a bank in the verynear fuure, thus adding to the convenience of the people of that locality. Though much business is transacted there, they have never enjoyed the many advantages of a banking house, it being necessary for the citizens there to do this kind of business at Fort Wayne or Decatur. Recently a Mr. Robinson from Kentucky stopped there and realizing the possibilities, organized a company for this purpose. The capital stock will be $15,000 and beside the organizer there are several stockholders, from the farmers and business men of that locality. The work of erecting a beautiful and convenient new banking house was begun this morning and will be hurried along. It will be a cement block structure and will add to the appearance of that town. The new bank will no doubt do a prosperous business, as it is located in the very heart of one of the richest communities of eastern Indiana.
