J. H. HELLER, Manager. Every day of Taft's administration is adding weight to the troubles that are overwhelming his party at the present time. Dissatisfaction is creeping oua all over the country and the leading republican newspapers. responding to public sentiment, are criticising him adversely on his defense of a tariff, which, to the people, is indefensible, his seeming alignment with the enemies of the insurgents and progressives and his tendency to turn his back on the so-called Roosevelt policies. Influential republicans have lost their faith in Taft, although they desire to feel that he is worthy of support, and they are beginning to think that in case he is renominated in 1912 he will be defeated.

Carl Moses and Anthony Hackman, two of the best known young men of this city, left this morning for Canada, where they go to look over that part of the north country, and if things are as said to be and are satisfactory from their point of view, they will go into enxtensive farming, they will go into extensive farming, ed is Saskatchewan, one of the richportions of Canada, to which many are flocking—Lanington and Saskatoo, which are near the first named place. They will look over these places and will no doubt make a selection from one of them. On their way they will stop off at Chicago, where they will attend to some business interests and then proceed to St. Paul, Minn., where they will also make a short stay. Their intentions are to go into extensive farming and have already let a contract for the purchase of a large steam engine, which they will use and which will be forwarded to them as soon as they have selected their location. This part of Canada is noted for its abundant wheat crops and these two young men will make a specialty of this.

Mr. Hackman, who resides south of the city, is also very popular in and out of the city. Their many friends wish for them success. — OHIO IS DANGEROUS River Has Spread Over Lowlands of Southern Indiana and Kentucky.

An audience that almost completely filled the auditorium at the Presbyterian church heard Dr. James A. Gordon of Van Wert, Ohio, last evening, and it was one of the finest sei mons of the series. This is not the first appearance of Dr. Gordon in Decatur, and those who heard him before were glad indeed tc welcome him again. He speaks again this evening and the church should be crowded. Sermons by such men as tln.»e who have be»i nerc during the jeetings are rare treats. Life at best is but a short span. It flits by almost while we are preparing to live. What of the time without end which comes afterward. The questions and problems discussed at these meetings ahe the oner of real (Importance. Nothing else counts. Every man, woman and child in Decatur should bear Dr. Gordon this evening. The meetings may close tomorrow evening, the official announcement, however, to be made la ter, is this is decided upon. Be that as it may you should hear the sermon this evening. The service opens at 7:30 and usually closes in an hour or such a matter. Can’t you snare that much time from your busy rush. / \ ■ A I 49 GENERAL TONIC. How often we are deceived in over confidence in estimating the strength of our vitality. By imagining when we feel badly that nature will slush off and correct the conditions; and’ then is when nature is calling for assistance, and we go on with our usual habits of eating and drinking too much of bad water and ardent spirits, causing indigestion, derangement of the stomach, which is the recepticle of all that is vital to the welfare of the human system, overtaxing the liver and causing hob-nail liver, robbing the stomach of bile, injuring the flow of gastric juice, which nature provided for proper digestion, resulting in a dull, heavy, tired feeling, headache, inclnination to become sleepy weight and fullness at lower part of stomach, fluctuation of gas often mistaken for heart trouble, bitter water from the stomach, nervousness, lack of rest at night, disturbed dreams, nightmare, forgetfulness and general debility. Dr. Hensley has made all this his deepest study in his 49 years of practice, and through the experience of his general tonic and the thousands of testimonials he has of cures it has made and the doctors that are using it gives positive assurance of the virtue of this tonic and the value it has proven to nursing women and the vitality it gives to the baby is marvelous. Don’t allow nature to call too long for assistance for fear of dangerous re-
