The corn is ripening and is considered practically out of danger. As a result the crop will be almost an average though appearances a few days ago idicated that such a thing was impossible. Another proof that we shouldn’t squeal too soon. Paul Rohrer, the Berne lad, will be the first Adams county person to attempt a public airship flight. He will fly on governor’s day at the Adams county fair and he deserves at least the encouragement of your presence. Everybody should be there on that day. There is no entertainment or enterprise of any public kind that is better for a county than the annual fair. It not only furnishes a week of delight for the'young and old, but it encourages the farmer to raise better stock. It is an occasion when friends meet friends they have not seen for a year or more. It’s the one big bet of the season and every one should boost it. The Port Wayne News insists that the Indianapolis Star is secretly owned by Thomas Taggart and other democrats. because they are publishing both sides of the “fraud" trial now in progress in Marion county courts. The News knows this is not true, though the democrats of the state would be more than pleased if it were. The facts are that a democratic state paper would so elate the democrats of Indiana, that to keep it a secret would be as impossible as for the News to be other than unfairly partisan in anything that resembles politics. Is the republican party of Indiana progressive or standpat? We know of no more promising way to decide this question than the acid test of Mr. James E. Watson's candiacy for the United States senate. “Our Jim" was the Taft floor leader at the Chicago convention of June, 1912. His was the voice that made the worst appear the better cause; his was the quick wit selected to parry the Roosevelt arguments on the platform; his the long arm that wound itself gradually about the more or less double-dealing shoulders of Governor Hadley, as that smooth statesman from Missouri sought to carry out the impression that he was the loyal representative of the progressive cause. Certain republican statesmen hereabout have been anxiously endeavoring to sidetrack Mr. Watson’s ambitions, on the

alleged ground that he does not represent the party or that his candiacy would burden the ticket or that the party should put up a more progressive front, etc. But they may be mistaken. even it they are sincere. What would be fairer, therefore, than that Mr. Watson should stand up at the primaries where all may take a shot at him with a brickbat or a bouquet as the case may be? Then we shall know whether the republican party is staadpat or progressive. Upon the result of that verdict, much must and will depend.—lndianapolis Star. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.

True Secret of Keeping Youthful Looking (The Beauty Seeker.) “The reel secret of keeping young-look-ing and beautiful," aa>» a wsU-kavwn hvgtenlsL “Is to keep the liver and bowels normally active. Without these requisites, poisonous waste products remain in the system, polluting the blood unit lodging in various organs, tissues, joints. One becomes flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of faes, _ • But to get liver and bowel* working as they ought, without producing evil tifter-efteets. has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had In convenient tablet form. Its value Is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or its root, which has been called ’vegetable calomel' because of its effectiveness—though of bourse it is not to be classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. Thera Is no hablt-formlng constituent in 'sentinel' tablets—that's the name—and their use is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed Intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may t>e procured from any druggist—a dime's worth will do—will prove a revelation to any constipated, liver-troubled person.” Chief Cause of Pimples, Blotches, Sallow Skin (Messenger of Health.) Unsightly eruptions, pimples, boils, blotches, sallow or muddy skin, usually are due to a sluggish liver, a constipated bowel —and * polluted blood stream as a consequence. How foolish In such cases to resort to outward applications, which can never have natural, permanent results. If more people only knew it, there Is a very simple remedy, to be found In Eny drug store, which is as effective as it s harmless and quick acting. Jt is an old ormula, long recognised by the medical Frofesslon. which has been put In tablet arm. and at such small cost no one need now be deprived of Its wonderful beneBts. •'Sentanel tablets”—that’s the name—are entirely vegetable and there’s no habit-forming Ingredient. You need only ret about a dime's worth, and swallow one at bedtime to realize there’s nothing else quite so good for the purpose. Tha 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 charactar mentioned. Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy Thev say that the advent of the ’’sentanel tablet’’ as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand fur this remarkable product. It seems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chron'c const! pation, who were quick to recognize its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. Sentanel tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency ta 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 tho violently acting purgatives. Their Inexpensiveness is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets. Ono need procure bnlv a dime’s worth, and* ake one tablet upon retiring, to be convinced that the ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil consequences, has finally been found.—Druggists Review.
