This is an important week in politics as two hundred delegates to the national conventions are to be chosen, probably determining the result of the Taft Roosevelt controversy and giving somebody a good lead in the democratic race. k Are we going to have that 'Homecoming?” It is time to be thinking about it. There will be much to do if we are going to have it. for we want to give the wanderers a real welcome. We have the opportunity this year, and should not.pass it up. A promenade over Decatur just now will give you some idea that we are growing rapidly. Not less than one hundred homes are being remodeled or built, and besides, a dozen business houses are being improved or the work, has been contracted for. The political battle will rage in many states this week. Republicans delegates are to be selected in Wyoming. North Carolina, Minnesota, Washington. Utah, West Virginia, Montana, Maryland, Texas and other states. Democrats will hold primaries and conventions in Wyoming, California, New Mexico, Nevada and Michigan. Hon. Levi Mock of Bluffton is dead. He was the physical giant of the Indiana bar, known in nearly every county and numbered his friends by the scores. He represented this county jointly with Jay and Wells in the legislature of 1882, has held court here frequently and was almost as well known in Adams county as any of our local citizens. JACKSON IS BETTER. Greenfield, Ohio, May 13—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The condition of U. S. Jackson, sergeant-at-arms of the national house of representatives, was much improved today and physicians said that the democratic politician would probably recover from the attack of heart trouble and sciatic rheumatism. c, — — Democrat Want Ads Pay

The office of the Indiana Lighting company, which has been a busy scene every Monday afternoon since November Ist, when fifty-one girls of the high school cooking class took their weekly instruction in charge of Mrs. Stella Phillips, domestic science teacher oi Fort Wayne, toos on festive appearance this afternoon at 3 o’clock when the girls entertained their mothers and the high school factulty with a few other friends at a luncheon. The girls of the class arrived at 2 o’clock and began preparations for the luncheon, every item of which they prepared themselves, the menu including the things they had learned to make during the past season. By the time the mothers arrived the preparations were well under way, and they had quite an interesting time watching their daughters at work, and were well pleased with the progress they* made in the culinary line, since taking up the lessons. The work tables were in full view of the guests, as well as the gas ranges on which the luncheon was cocked and baked and it was interesting to watch them prepare the things with skill and dispatch. The menu included the following: Potato salad on lettuce leaf, nut bread sandwiches, sliced cold tongue, sponge cake with whipped cream, fruit punch, and was very excellent, the girls and teacher receiving many compliments. This afternoon will probably be the closing of the lessons of the class for the season, unless another will be held for bread-making. This will require a longer period than that allotted for the regular class, and special arrangements will have to be made for this. The Indiana Lighting company, which has furnished the instruction free to the class; the company's local manager, J. S. Peterson, and the domestic science teacher, Mrs. Stella Phillips, are to be highly commended for this special course added to the high school, which is of much practical good to the girls. The mothers stated that many of the girls had applied their kuowielge from the lessons at home and had ' met with good success.

BARKER j Makes a Remarkable Statement After Travelling from the Atlantic to the Pacific. * ? As he seeuted some ■ I the most noi table indorsements io hU theory, he - does not hesitate in saying that he | i will positively guarantee bloodine to » cure stone in the bladder or any kid-11 - ney or bladder trouble, no matter hov I long you have been suffering. Nlnetey- I s seven per cent of the entire popula--5 tion of the United States are afflicted |l - with kidney or bladder trouble. In the j 1 ? last seven years bloodine has cured 1I ; 9fi per cent of the cases that have been I ' > treated by it. | I Hundreds of bases of hemorrhage of . > the bladder have been cured after * , treatment In some of the leading hos i 1 pitals have failed to even relieve the , . patient. We are therefore confident I > that our theory of treating these cases , ■ with bloodine is the only possible I I manner in which such a large percent < i age of cases can be cured, that we do | j not hesitate to guarantee the efficiency -of bloodine. | Mr. Hanson, the business manager i of the Postal Telegraph and Cable Co., I • iof Biddeford, Maine, had a stone in - jthe bladder removed with six and one- I • | half bottles of bloodine, after being ' .'told by all the leading physicians in ' « his vicinity that the only way it could . .i possibly be removed was by an opera- 1 > tion. We stand ready to furnish posi- . ■ tive proof of the above statement to - any one doubting the truth of the i 1 same. More than five million bottles of' I bloodine were sold in America last | ( year. Can there be any greater evi- j I dence of merit than this unaparalleled , ■ sale of a scientific product. No other il product has ever met with such as- . founding sales ir. do short a period. | t and from a conservative estimate the i i sales this year will reach ten million s bottles. 280 bottles were sold in a! i single day in Cleveland, Ohio; 2100 ? bottles were sold in Rochester, N. Y„ ? at the first day's introductory sale, and I j 1400 bottles in Paterson, N. J., in one i day. No scientific treatment has ever t attained such success in America. We , are now supplying druggists with bloodine, for the convenience of those . wishing to convince themselves of its f merits. If your druggist does not have 3 It, The Bloodine Laboratories, Boston, t Mass., will supply you with a six • weeks’ treatment (six bottles) for | - 12,50; 50c a bottle, trial sample and I - booklet, 10c. it BOST —Red inner tube, 30x3%, Michelin make.
