Uie aiienuun ut tuv vvumh/* The republican county central committee. or at least a majority of them, put one over on the rank and flic ot the party Saturday when they met without any announcement and decid- 1 ed to not put a ticket in the Held. | While it Is likely this will stand, it is I also likely that a number of the oi l U line men will not feel it necessary top follow the dictates ot a dozen men and i will vote as they please when the time, comes. Every taxpayer In this county owns ( an interest In the Panama canal. Ev-: I ery cltlien helped to build it. Why j then should a half-dozen millionaires, ‘ i ship lines, railroad companies, or the steel corporation, have free use of our property? It's the old question of making the rich man richer at the poor man’s expense and the patriotism 1 gag is an old and overworked one when the ordinary man has to pay all 1

tho expenses. Bluffton so working on a plan tluit every city this sl::e should boost--urging the smoking of home-made ci gars, thus keeping at home a surpr(singiy large sum of money each year.

This is the lust word by the ( National Association for the Study ' and Prevention of Tubeculosis, in a bulletin published today. Backing up > these statements, the United States ' Public Health Service declares that outside of the three essentials In the treatment of consumption, namely rest, fresh air and good food, “there Is no drug known however rare or ex- 1 pensive it may l>e that has any curative action in this disease, and all < remedies advertised as such arc to be ( avoided. Patent cough medicines are ; harmful; radium. X-rays or electricity in any of its forms have no special value in tuberculosis of the lungs. No , serum has yet been found that will . cure it. and there is no plaster or poultice which has an effect on the disease itself." The National Association is planning an extensive cam-

paign for the suppression of fake con- s sumption cures, which it is claimed ] cost the people of the United States - $15,000,000 annually, besides depriving innocent victoms of a chance for real ( cure. If this is acompllshed, and the people are taught how to properly care for themselves, much will have been < done toward stamping out this scour- f age of the human race. ABOUT THE SICK. E. J.

ACID EXPLODES Otis Hocker and Daughter, Mardeile, Monroe, Have Narrow Escape. FROM SERIOUS INJURY Mr. Hocker Was Experimenting With Sortie Ore and Sulphuric Acid. Otis Hocker, the Monroe druggist, and his six year old daughter, Mardeile had a very narrow escape Friday afternoon from having their heads blown off or their eyes "peppered" with glass, which was sent flying in a thousand directions as a result of an explosion caused by the mixing of some ore and sulphuric acid, which Mr. Hocker was experimenting with. A few days ago a friend of Mr. Hocker’s. in Mexico, sent hint a small quantity of ore and being a druggist, is always ready to learn or make some new kind of an experiment. He naturally took it upon himself to find out if the ore contained a certain ingredient. He mixed the ore with some sulphuric acid, and as the two came in contact with each other It caused a a terrific explosion, breaking the glass in the show case, and the vessel containing the mixture. Mr. Hocker was not Injured to any great extent, except that a number of small pieces of glass were found lodged In his hands. The explosion did not force the mixture upward or It would have blown into his face. His little daughter, who was close to her father, and trying to see what he was doing, got a part of the acid in her face and eyes, but by prompt attention no great injury was suffered. Her sight will not lie affected. Mr. Hocker considers himself quite lucky in not receiving more serious injuries than did he and his daughter. ■ —-o ~ort Wayne & Springfield Ry Comnany. time tableNortn pound.
