When people talk about one thing and keep on talking as they do about the discovery that created so much newspaper comment in Fort Wayne and other cities during the past summer, even though many reports may be exaggerated, there must be some merit in the discovery, and when people spend their money for a thing and then buy more of it, proof of merit becomes so convincing that it becomes the duty of every person in . need of Root Juice to go to the drug store and get a bottle of this much talked of remedy. Root Juice cures rheumatism and catarrh because it puts the filtering machines of the body to work ant! causes them to filter the impurities of the blood. Root Juice cures stomach and bowel : troubles because it removes irritated and ulcerated conditions from the mucous linings and causes a natural flow of digestive fluids. Root Juice is so good for female weakness because it tones and heals the organs that make and filter blood. Good, rich blood will nourish and strengthen every weak part of the body. Root Juice is sold for one dollar a bottle, or six bottles for five dollars at Holthouse drug store.

PARK WILL iOPEN Maple Grove Park Directors Held Interesting Meeting LAST EVENING ——• • Amusement Pace Soon to Be Opened—Committee Appointed The stockholders of the Maple Grove Park association held a meeting at the interurban station last night at which time it w-as decided that the park be operated, this summer, and a committee was appointed to negotiate to that end. The directors are considering a change in the location of the park, and unless the contract for the present location can be changed a new site may be chosen upon which the amusement place will be located. Maple Grove park was a very popular amusement place last summer and large crowds visited it each evening and almost every afternoon. The promoters, however, expect to make it more attractive this year and will aid many amusements. It has not been decided as yet just when the park will be opened, and no decision to that end will be made until the location is decided upon. The association last year made good money on the project, as did the privilege men who conducted stands on the grounds. Many Decatur people will no doubt be pleased that the park will be opened again this summer. o Rubber tires, buggy painting, horse clipping at the Fashion Livery Stables.

ADDRESS TO G. A. R. AND W. R. C. Delivered at Entertainment Given at Sam Henry Post, April 22, 1908.

I must first express to you, my appreciation of this hour of my life.

When asKed to make a talk to the Grand Army, my answer was "Sure, tickled to death,” and it was sincere, for I am never more at home or more in my glory that in this hall, your post home, and in your company. I count each of you a friend, a very dear friend —yes even more than that, for to you and to the W. R. C. there is a tie to me that holds firm. It is not only that one which the colors of this old flag make up—it though, is precious to me —nor is it the tie that is made of the blue suit and brass button and you know the very sight of a blue suit with those brass buttons shining on the front is so very precious to me, and they will attract my attention more than anything which meets me on our streets or can be worn by any passerby. But, dear comrades, between you and me there is a tie that binds and that tie is this: My father was a soldier: my brother was a soldier, and my dear mother, gone on before us, loved her soldiers and shared and taught me that love. One of her dearest wishes for me to carry out was that "I should take her place and finish her work in the W. R. C. with the G. A. R., so that you would not forget her and that her work might go on. A tie like this onj will last, and last forever—for it Is built of love, duty and honor. And while at Kokomo, several soldiers with whom I made friends and who could not remember my name, called me "The Soldier Girl.” I felt that I could carry a gun, oh two of them for that matter and march all day to any old tune just so it had soldier time to it. If you have never heard me say it, your wives have heard me, those who belong to our W. R. C., that I am more proud of my heritage as a soldier’s daughter than I would have been had my father given me a legacy or money and not the other, and I mean it. for any man who is the father of a daughter of my age and was not a soldier in the civil war ought to have been —he ain’t made of the good, solid kind that we like to grow from. You don't know how good we feel when we can say, *My father was a soldier.” Very well do I remember when you were more in number and the work of our post and corps was in greater demand. We had to work harder, but oh! we enjoyed it. It was my delight as a little child to help and some very pleasant childhood memories take me back to the hall over Schafer’s harness store where we filled so many stockings on Xmas and carried them out to others, poorer children, where you gave dinners, and where I spoke little pieces just as my own little ones do now. Do you know I have been raised in this work, for I have been a member fifteen years next month, coming in the next meetings after I reached the age limit, and with my mother as the conductor. In this time I have witnessed so much sadness and withal some of the happiest time of my life. In a talk I heard at Knightstown by a comrade to the orphans, he said: It made him happy to stand in their presence, for in looking In their faces, he could honestly assure his mind and heart that hts fallen comrades had been well remembered and well loved, for with the help given by our state, we took up their work of caring and educating their children. In these bright faces of little children, the life of dead soldier is moving on. The G. A. R. is the most honored body of men of the United States. Such great loved men as Grant, McKinley, Lincoln and so many other heroes that our nation honored and mourn as a nation, was but a “comrade'' to you. Oh! that word implies so much.

Last year at Kokomo the days were glad ones for our Indiana boys, and you could have witnessed interesting meetings. Many who had not met before in years looked into each other's faces and clasped each other’s hands. Some met who had not seen each other since they were mustered out of the service more than forty years. All of these meetings were interesting, but some of them were so touching with pathos, that I can scarce recall them save through a mist of tears. I say this: "Comradship” is a grand and holy bond which pnly you can enjoy. Along side of the G. A. R. comes their auxiliary, the W. R. C., next to the grandest organization in this United States, and is made up of the dearest women of our country. They go side by side and hand in hand. My heart throbs at the beat of the drum and yet comes with it a pang of sadness, which only seems to make it more sacred and more to be remembered. It is my ambition that (Coatmed or nace
