Just a little frost in the low places is the report today, not enough to injure any of the crops and we may come out of this alright yet. Lets hope so any way. One would think that Colonel Roosevelt and the others who have been shouting that war is the only way to settle tiie dispute witli Germany, would feel just a little ashamed of themselves, since the tangle is being straightened out just about right and without the firing of a shot or the spending of dollars. Sometimes we think there are men jus*-as smart and just as loyal to their government as the colonel and we much prefer their style of doing business. Gov. Ralston is abused because he said some friendly things about Tom Taggart. Why does ont Delevan Smith also quote Congressman Adair who said this: “There is no man in Indi ana more deservedly popular with the people of all classes than is Mr. Taggart. 1 am for Tom Taggart. The more thy try to besmirch him with their slime the stronger and more popular he becomes.” Delavan Smith, in charge of the slime pots, of course omitted this personal fling from a man so popular as Adair.” —Madison Herold. Samuel Larc. a Jefferson township farmer, called at The Daily Sun office Saturday night and convinced us with undisputable figures. Mr. bare had that day sold a bunch of hogs—2oß head —to Hansom Mills, a stock buyer, for only $4,246.20, a fraction over $20.41 per head. To be exact the 208' head of hogs weighed 60,660 pounds, or an average of 291 and 33-52 each. The price paid was $7.00 per hundred. It required four cars to ship them and was the largest single shipment of hogs ever jnadc from the Blaine station. And the funny part of it all is that Mr. Lare is a democrat and seemed to be satisfied with the ready cash he received from his bunch of porkers. But of course you might know that if he was satisfied he is’nt a standpat republican, for with them times are so darned hard under a democratic administration that they wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than 12c to 15c a pound for hogs.— Portland Sun.

The following is a report of the omission, in the afternoon session the program closed with a round table discusssion and reports from the delegates. After the afternoon program, a light luncheon was served to all present, which was much enjoyed. The evening service began at 6:30 with Mrs. Farr, leader. Following the devotional were two selections by the men’s quartet, which were delightfully given. “The Importance of the Morning Watch" was the subject of the address given by C. L. Walters. He emphasized the fact that days begun with the reading of the Word and saying Good Morning to God before man. were the very best days.

SUBMARINE IN DRY-DOCK Honolulu, Aug 31, — (Special to Daily Democrat)- The submarine F.-4 which sank in Pearl harbor March 25 and was brought into dry dock here la t night was fully exposed early today. Through a large hole in the bow al) compartments were examined but no trace was found of the bodies of the submarine crew. They are believed to be buried under piles of sand and other debris in the boats interior Further examination of the hull o' the F-4 today revealed another hole near the stern. The apertures were sufficiently large to permit the passage of very large fish. It is feared the bodies of the sailors if they are found under the mud, will be found to have been so badly mangled by big fish as to make identification impossible.

SUSPICIOUS TELEGRAMS Gary, Aug. 31, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —There was growing belief today that Rev. Edmund Kayser, murdered one week ago, was killed by adherents of the allied cause. Telegrams which the minister sent to Ambassador Bernstorfl' made public today showed that If Kayser was not a paid spy. he was at least an active voluntary worker in the German cause and did many things which were meant to push the arms embargo cause and hinder shipment of war munitions to Germany's enemies. "The Germans of Gary" read one telegram to Bernstorf! "resent manufacture of war munitions in the United States for the allies and will do all in their power to stop (heir manufacture.” Another read ’Tiie Germans of Gary are w'lling to do as much for the Fatherland as the Germans who are fighting in Europe.” A third read: “Accept my heartiest congratulations on your marriage.” Federal officials who have been investigating the spy charges say there might very easily have been code messages. Their seeming frankness, ns one Official put it, made them ideal samples of code messages. * ■ o TODAY’S HOOSIER ODDITY Gary, Ind.. Aug. 31 —If William Howard Taft or Governor Ralston, visit Gary they had better not try to rid > in a jitney. Jitney, drivers, look, the other way when they see a fat man. A five passenger jitney will carry tea slim steel workers, so why should they fill up with fat men? Tom Knotts, the ex-mayor was seen waving frantically while eight jitneys passed by. While he would take up fifteen cents worth of room he could only be taxed a jitney.

IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Take a glass of Salts to Hush out your Kidneys and neutralize irritating acids. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of j irritation to the bladder and urinary ori gans which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, J and is made from the acid of grapes and I lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent I lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves i bladder trouble.

True Secret of Keeping Youthful Looking ‘ (Th* Beauty Seeker.) “The real «ecret of keeping young-look-ing and beautiful,” *ays u well-known byglenlet, “!• to keep die Uver and bowels normally active. Without theae requisite*, poisonous waste products remain In the system, polluting the blood and lodging in various organs, tissues, joints, on* become* flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. ~ •'But to get Uver and bowels working as they ought, without producing evil utter-effects, has been the problem. Fortune ely, there is a prescription pt unquestioned merit, which may now be had tn convenient tablet form. Its value -3 due largely to an Ingredient derived troin the humble May apple, or Its rpot, which has been called 'vegetable calomel because of its effectiveness— though pt course it is not to be classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. There is no hablt-formlng constituent In 'senta.nel' tablets—that’s the name—and their ust is not followed by weakness or exfiaustlon. On the contrary, these harmess vegetable tablets tend to Impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed Intestinal wall. Sentinel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dime’s worth will do—will prove a revelation to any constipated, Uver-troubled person.

Chief Cause of Pimples, Blotches, Sallow Skin (Messenger ot Health.) Unsightly eruptions, pimples, bolls, blotches, sallow or muddy skin, usually are due to a sluggish Uver, a constipated bowel —and a polluted blood stream as a consequence. How foolish in such cases to resort to outward applications, which can never have natural, permanent refiults. If more people only knew It, there s a very simple remedy, to be found In any drug store, which Is as effective a, it Is harmless and quick acting. It is an old formula, long recognised by the medical profession, which has been put in tablet form, and at such small cost no one need, now be deprived of its wonderful benefits. •‘Sentane! tablets”—that’s the name—pre entirely vegetable and there's no hablt-formlng Ingredient. You need only get about a dime’s worth, and swallow one at bedtime to realise there's nothing else quite so good for the purpose. Ths action In the morning Is so easy, so soothing, and Instead of a weakening aftereffect, you feel truly refreshed and Invigorated. Sentanel tablets are not only the finest remedy known for constipation and torpid liver, but offer the sanest, most sensible treatment for complexion difficulties of the character mentioned. Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy They say that the advent of the “sentanel tablet” as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It seems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chronic constipation, who were quick to recognize its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. . fientanel tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to aid in bringing about natural functioning—instead of encouraging the “cathartic habit.” Also, instead of injuring the membraneous lining of the organs involved, they exert a healing influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the violently acting purgatives. Their inexpensiveness is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets. One need procure only a dime’s worth, and 'take one tablet upon retiring, to be convinced that the ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil consequences, has Anally. been found.—Druggists Review. GREAT BIG WORK (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Home Bible chautauquas are organ ized in regulation Chautauqua order. At the close of one yea* - members are given certificates signed by an officer of the International Sunday School Director of the Home Bible Chautauqua. Anyone over IS years of age may become a member. Officers of the organization consist of a President, VicePresident, Recording Secretary and t Treasurer, elected by ballot. The most important committee will be the one in charge of programs. Details as to meetings are left to each circle. No ice cream or anything else of a refreshment nature will be permitted except on special occasions. The rule is positive and final, for Mrs. Kenyoa believes that if refreshments are served the organization will soon lose it* serious purpose. That purpose is to arouse more interest in the Bible. REUNION HERE NEXT YEAR. Mrs. Amelia Hoagland and son. Earl, have returned from Tunker, Indiana, where they attended the Geist family reunion.

The Toledo druggists were going tab Sugar Island to meet the Detroit drug- < gists and hold a picnic. The great lake steamer was thronged with the men and their wives and i their boys and girls and their babies , and sweethearts and sisters and old ' maid aunts and cousins twice removed, < in gala attire, all bei*ring white ribbon badges indicating that they b?- I longed to the druggists’ convention. * • » » The greater number of the feminine band were sweethearts- you could tell by their care-free, happy air, their freedom from that bored expression that unconsciously settles down on the countenances of married couples; and you could tell also by the constant attention danced t|pcn them by l.e males who were only too-eager'.x ready to serve as pack-horses lor them, as laden with cups of coffee and wat i and sugar and sandwiches ami fru.’. and pit and cockles and cakes tliev trotted back and forth from the upper decsk to the dining room and then t>. the upper deck again, at the beck and call of the fair feminine hands and luring smiles and waving curly locks, an<i so forth and so forth. Therefore, cons) fcicus among tiie gay and young band, was the elderly lady in quiet black wearing a druggists’ white badge. Some druggists' mother, we thought, or maybe the wife I of a retired druggist, but one. while elderly in looks, still young enough in spirits to join tiie picnic excursion. Among the hundreds on board the steamer. I noted her frequently a very distinguished lady among the throng, as she moved here and there, very quietly, and unobtrusively. ****** Another woman that I noticed also, was a very young mother with a veryyoung baby—, "green” baby I thing, they are called at that age—-a few weeks — although they are still so very red of countenance. The “green' little baby was undoubtedly taking Iris frist excursion from home, and the trip was not proving agreeable. His tiny cry, from the edges cf which the greenness had not yet been worn waxed greater anj greater. It was not to be assuaged with milk nor yet with sugar; nor with tossings nor turning;-. It grew stronger and stronger, and then wearing its strength away, became gradually weaker again. Tne babe was in pain, and not ‘‘mad’’ as

so many are uuiccrenioniously accounted for. The babe and its young mother ami its young and helpless father were tha center of attraction and commiseration and in some cases, of amusement, of the throng. Gue couple like the the Newlyweds of comic supplement tame, witli their little hairless, active baby, a regular Snookunis, who cried for everything and got everything he cried for, in vain brought the playthings which Snookoms tossed away, to give to the “green” baby, without success in appraising its walls,— which surprised them very much, fir Snookoms’ wails had been quieted for an instant at least, by them. Old bachelors passed by with pitying glances at the father and with a look as nearly like "no wedding bells" for me,” as the blank countenance of most old bai -.elors can wear. Younger couples passed by, many with a gleeful air. Older ones, druggirts witli a professional air, brought out from grii s and pockets ever ready bottles of scothing syrup anil papers of powders and what not, guaranteed to soothe, and pocify and sleeafy. But all to no avail. The ships matron came aad I lent her services. Still the babe crieJ. The mother nearly spent and frantic, began to unbraid herself for venturing forth with the baby, and said s’uo never would forgive herself if anything happened, and —so on and so o:i. And still the babe cried. ****** In the course of her walk through the ship, the little elderly lady, witli the druggists’ badge, stopped at the side of the young mother and looked at the babe. Did she offer a sugar pacifier; a bottle of soothing syrup; a powder: a toy or such? Oh no. She took the baby in her arms, smoothed its wrinkled and much tumbled clothing; laid its little head on her shoulder in "the mother’s" hollow" and softly crooning to it, soon had it qui t and sleeping. There seemed soi is magic in her touch and power. And the druggists passed on wondering. The soothing syrup -he used was the natural power conhined with experience that cannot be bottled and commercialized.
