Tlie street car strike in Ft. Wayne does not affect the running of the Ft. Wayne & Springfield railway in the least, except to make city traffic ou the Interurban heavier.

I ‘‘Bob’’ Jones obtained about 140 converts at Mansfield, Ohio, in the first three nights since the invitation to ‘ pentitents was extended.

Dawley’s One-man fair is jtassing the stage of mere display this year, and Congressman Adair will add speech making to the program at the unique exhibit which has become an annual event in this territory. Announcement through error was made by the fair management that he would ' speak Friday of this week, but the arrangement now is for the congressman to speak, October 2. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a contributor teHs the following amusing story: “A friend of mine who is a cashier in a bank told me this incident which happened recently: ‘A pretty little rural school teacher came into the bank with an order for a month’s wages. I handed her the amount in paper money. Noticing her hesitancy tn picking the money up. I apologized for giving her torr, and soiled bills, and remarked I had forgotten that teachers were afraid of germs. She replied that such was not her thought at all. as she was certain no germ could live on her salary.” Novel features are embodied in two inexpensive watches which are described, with illustration, in the October Popular Mechanics Magazine. ■ One of the instruments mounts a mini iature compass in its crown, while I the other holds a small cigar cutter in a similar position. Because of the manner in which these devices are mounted, they do not detract from the appearance of either timepiece. They are made in No. 14 size, thin model, with antique pendant and pull-out stem. Although tho compass is small, it is adequate for ordinary needs ou short hunting and fishing trips, and may also be used conveniently by motorists and cyclists. In the October American Magazine Alice Woods writes a short story entitled “Dawn’’ in the course *f which I one of the characters, a woman. I frankly expresses herself as follows: I “‘Some day you’ll love a man. You I might just as well die now unless you I do! But you'll really love him after I you have your children. It may even I be long after. It isn’t having chilI dren that makes a woman. I don’t I care what the world says about it! * They prepare you to love the man. . They cease to need you so much; but he needs you more and more. And after the children have deepened you, the thing will come over you. The mother who thought she herself, rises, Anna! She is resurrected. Then she turns and mothers a man! She mothers him as she could not have mothered any child for the duty is left out and all the responsibility. It is sheer, beautiful, generous, giving.’ ” . - u •— A WET ANO DRY ELECTION. (United Press Service) Ladoga. Ind..

IF OR’ RMS BOTHER Eat less meat and take a grass of Salts to flush out Kidneys— Drink plenty water. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, , they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the ney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. ’ This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus, ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneysclean and active. Druggists here say . they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. ) 0 DEMOCRAT WANT ADS PAY BIG

PARADE WAS SOME SHORTER. (United Press Service) Washington, Sept. 29 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Fifty years ago President. Johnson sat in a stand m Pennsylvania avenue here and reviewed the victorious armies of Grant and Sherman. It took days for the armies to march by the chief executive. Today, history repeated itself. The remnants of those two great armies passed in review. But it required only five hours for the fast thinning lines to pass before President Wilson. Illinois was well represented in the “grand review,” the boys of ’65 from that state leading the procession. They wore the uniforms that saw service at Bull Run. Chattanooga and Antietam. The Illinois veterans were escorted by two thousand members of the Sons of Veterans. o BLACKSMITH SHOP TO CLOSE.
