J. H. HELLER. Msnaqer A WARD POLITICIAN AND NOT A STATESMAN To the average Uyman it is next to revolting to read of the president of j the United States bolding up the ap- ] pointments of the senators and con-1 gressmen, simply because those sens- j tors and congressmen do not believe | as do the president and Speaker Cannon, as to certain legislation. If the j key to statesmanship is to agree with the president and speaker, the ques-| tion naturally arises why have a con-i gress and senate, and why not turn the affairs of the government over to the two wise men of the country, the president and speaker, and save the money. The very spirit of American independence is shattered by this example of ward politics as being played from the white house. The dig-1 nity of the presidency is lowered, and ! President Taft could have done nothing that would have shown to the world his utter unfitness to grace the highest office within the gift of the American people. The people wanted ; to think better of President Taft, they j were willing to trust him and to believe in him. but the tactless blunder-' ing of using official power given him by a trusting people, shows that he is not measuring up to the standard of a president The best thing that the president can do, is to call off the dogs of war. Allen county democrats are starting the game early this year and al-! ready the field is pretty well covered

THE' SOCIAL NOTES German Reformed Ladies Elect Officers for Their Aid Society. A GREAT SUCCESS Was the Ball Given by Columbian Club—Pocahontas Installation. The dance given Wednesday evening by the Columbia club at their hail was a success throughout, and until the midnight hour the invited guests and lovers of this art enjoyed a very pleasant time. Forty-three couples were present and had the weather been favorable a much larger crowd would have been there. From 8 until 8:45 the usual dancing lessons were given by Fred Schurger and quite a number are taking instructions. The first dance was called at 8:45 and the pastime was contiuef! for three consecutive hours. ■ Excellent music was furnished during the evening by Messrs King and Drake, and was much appreciated by all. The club has the reputation of being royal entertainers' and another dance will be given in the near future, but the date will not as yet be made public. Misses Helen and Dorothy Walters were entertained at a slumber party last night by Miss Irene Evans at her home north of the city. . ■ The installation of the officers newly elected by the Pocahontas lodge will take places this evening. The meeting of the German Reformed Ladies' Aid society at the home of Mrs. John Christen of Walnut street Wednesday afternoon was attended by about thirty-five and was a most interesting session. Besides other matters of importance the annual election of officers took place,: resulting in the naming of Mrs. Chris Vogt president: Mrs. Hessert, vice president: Mrs. Fred Reppert, secretary and Mrs Sophia Kirsch treasurer.

O—HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA. Does it not seem strange that so many people suffer year in and year out with eczema? A 25-cent bottle of a simple wash stops the itch and will surely convince any patient.

On l r two more days remain of the November term of the Adams circuit court, the term closing Saturday. Several important cases have been disposed of during the term and much business of a routine nature taken care of. Folowing this term come* a three weeks’ vacation, the February term opening on Monday morning. Februarv «th. This vacation is greeted with pleasure by the clerk of the court, at least, because of the opportunitv thus given him to catch up on bis work which is rather heavy just now. During the vacation period be will prepare the transcripts in two cases which are being appealed from the Adams circuit to the supreme court. These are the famous Fay lor vs. Studebaker case which has been tried five or six times, and the Touhey vs. the City of Decattar case, which ended so abruptly yesterday. This will require some time and Mr. Haefling is thankful that the opportunity is afforded him to look after it during this vacation period. o 1— — -NINETY-THREE" The Story of a Famous Name and How it Originated.

Alter months of study, experimenting and research work, they discovered what they claimed would do what was demanded To unquestionably prove their theory 100 leading druggists. located in as many different cities, were requested to each furnish the name of a responsible person Suffering from falling hair and baldness. Each of these 100 persons was furnished three bottles of the preparation with a request to give in a thorough trial and report results Five of these people failed to report. Two declared they had been bald for years: that their hair folieles had long been closed, and their scalps were smooth and glossy. Ninety-three of the 100 sent in en-
