PROOb CuiinS. Thsy Ar* Always Struck From New and Specially Prepared Dies. 1 Proof coins have been struck at the Philadelphia mint for uiuny years, but at no other mint, to be Hold to collectors. A premium of about 10 per cent I is charged when a lot in-hides coins of all denominations. I’ i .- proof sets, however, when <>i eparute ly, a little more than <„■ ... e i’nv face value is charged. The coins are struck from new mid , specially prepared dies on plamhetx previously burnished, a baud press in stead of the regular steam press beln; used. When there is a smooth field around the raised portion of a coin the burnishing gives the surface a lasting I brilliancy that la very attractive. Opr silver coins still have such a field, but the gold coins, particularly the $5 and $2.50 pieces, and the minor coins no longer present this desirable feature. In fact, outside of the line* being a little finer, proofs of these coins differ little In appearance from pieces struck for regular circulation. The incused Inscriptions on the gold coins do not harmonize with the field as did the old raised Inscriptions, while ■ on the minor coins the field is not 1 smooth, and the nickel has really no 1 field, an excess of lettering disfiguring j what is not monopolized by the Indian ' head and the buffalo. The S2O and $lO ■ pieces present artistic designs, but i proofs of these coins are far from being as attractive as were those of the old designs.—Pittsburgh Press. A LEDGE AND A MINE. How a Learned Lawyer Was Taught to Distinguish Between Them. Let not distinguished counsel from any eastern or western bar plume themselves upon their fancied superiority to their frontier brethren. The litigation which attends upon rich mineral discoveries often tempts the keenest intellects to the forums of the frontier, and an imported counsel is. in his ignorance of local customs and local nomenclature, liable to make a had break. A distinguished New England lawyer who was imported by a Boston capitalist to take charge of a big mining suit delivered himself of a lengthy philippic against a witness who had testified that a mine was in a certain locality and who a year before had testified that it was in another locality a quarter of a mile distant. “Did he lie then, or is he lying now?” said the Imported lawyer. “The learned counsel from afar,” answered his opponent, “is an apt illustration of the proverb that a little learning—and in his case such a very little—is a dangerous thing. He yonfuses a mine with a ledge. The locality of a ledge cannot, of course, be changed, but the locality of a mine, which is the work upon a ledge, maybe. as in this case, placed at one point today and in six months may be at another point a quarter of a mile or more away.” -Case and Comment. A Fine Viewpoint. Sherman, Wyo., so named in honor of General W. T. Sherman, is the highest point on the Laramie range reached by the Union Pacific railroad. It is claimed that from this point on a clear day may be seen Pikes peak, about 165 miles to the south, Longs peak, sixty miles to the south, and Elk mountain, 100 miles to the west. From many points in the vicinity of Buford good views may’ be obtained of the high peaks of the Rocky mountains far away to the south and of the relatively low but rugged Sherman mountains, a part of the Laramie range, to the right Two prominent points seen to the north are called Twin mountains and are celebrated as one of the strongholds of the notorious desperado Slade. Slade during his checkered career fought both for and against law and order, and his career is set- forth In Mark Twain’s “Roughing It”—Geological Survey Bulletin. We Draw Back. Our human intercourse is constantly being thwarted by our consciousness of consequences. It is especially the case when we are young. Young people feel that they can hardly have an intimate conversation without its ending in a promise to correspond or an Invitation to visit. If we keep this attitude as we grow older the consciousness that a moment's intimacy may entail so much makes us pause before taking the fateful plunge. How often do we draw back in a moment of expansion because we reflect. “Shall we feel the same way tomorrow or next month?” How many friendly impulses do we restrain because we are afraid something more will lie expected of us! —New York Telegram. A Russian Ad. The reason why I have heretofore been able to sell my goods so much lower than anybody else Is that 1 am a bachelor and do not need to make a I profit for the maintenance of a wife, and. children. It is now my duty to inform the public that this advantage will shortly lie withdrawn from them, ns I am about td lie married. They will therefore do -veil to make their purchases at once at the old rate.-* .Petrograd Otogoloski.

The state law requires any person in this business to take out a state license, as the following will show: Section II of Act H-120, of the General Laws of Indiana, approved March 6, 1913, and found in Chapter HI on page 294, reads as follows: “Any person, firm, or corporation who shall obtain from any other person, firm, or corporation, by purchase or otherwise, the body of any animal for the purpose of obtaining the hide, skin or grease from such dead animal, or for the purpose of disposing of the carcass of such dead- animal in any wpy whatsoever, shall be deemed to have engaged in the business of disposing of the bodies of dead animals and shall be subject to all of the provisions and penalties of this act: Provided, nothing in this act shall interfere with the original owner disposing of carcasses of dead animals upon his premises.” Such disposition on the owner’s own premises must be made according to lair, however, to avoid the penalty. The law relative to the disposition ■ of dead animals- is found in the same General Laws of 1913, and Section 8 or page 336 of Chapter 135, Act H 193, approved March 7, 1913, reads as follows: “It shall be unlawful for any person caring for or owning swine that have died to allow the carcasses to lie about the fields, yards, pens, and hog houses. Such carcasses shall be disposed of immediately by cremating, or by burying four feet deep and covering by quicklime, or by disposing of them to a state licensed person, firm, or corporation licensed to render such csAcasses under the rules and regulations of the State Veterinarian.” DECATUR FERTILIZER CO.

General weakness is now apparent: the animal can s arce. stand, his legs get entangled like a tipsy man's and complete paralysis soon results. Eruptions oi the skin may have followed the first discoloration, which now are succeeded by sloughing and ulceration. Insensibility precedes death from three to six hours. The malady sometimes appears in less fatal forms, accompanied by colored skin and loss of appetite for a few daTs, when recovery follows; but this is uncommon. On post mortem (after death) examination the appearance of rapid decomposition is manifest, and all the tissues seemed transfused with blood. The veterinary department of the lowa station has completed a series of tests on so-called hog cholera cures Among the remedies tested were: Cholera Immune I. b. Specific; American Scientific No. 2; Co-Vac-O; No. 544 Curative; No. 544 Immunizing; DeVaux Cholera Antitoxin; Dr. D. W. Nolans Anti-Hog Cholera Specific (Noxine).

HOGS COMPLETELY CURED. After having had four of my hogs drop dead in one day and two the next day, and with the balance of my 67 hogs showing all indications of being infected with hog cholera. I secured a box of Hog Cholera Tonic from the German Reliable Medicine Company, and after giving the tonic according to directions within a few days ail traces of cholera had disappeared. Upon making an investigation I found the livers of the dead hogs completely covered with yellow spots. I most heartily recommend the Hog Cholera Tonic to be everything it is represented to be by the manufacturers. FRED THIEME, R. R. 1, Decatur, Ind. Decatur, Ind., March 8, 1915.

BIG MS GET MET TROUBLE Take a glass of Salta before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you. The American meh and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneyrfeel like lumps of lead: your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about 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 flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.

cine Company. My sick hogs got well and my well hogs did not get sick. This tonic is the real quill and you may be sure ot no cholera if you use it according to directions, and it will cure a sick hog if the proper care is given. Truly yours, M. S. HILPERT, Decatur, Ind. To My Neighbors and Friends:, —I have this to say about the German Reliable’ Medicine Co. I had three (3) sick hogs, so sick that they would not eat or drink, so we did as directed, drenched them, and little waa our thought of saving them. But will say that no tonic ever did me as much good as the German Reliable Hog Tonic, as 1 have not lost a hog since I began to use their tonic, and will say that no man or farmer who raises hogs should be without it; and will also say their chicken tonic is A No. 1 to get results from your chickens. Our chickens never returned such results as the German Reliable Tonic has done for me. HERMAN SELLEMEYER. R. R., Monroe Road, Decatur, Ind. The German Reliable Medicone Co. certainly has given proof that no man needs to fear the hog cholera if they follow its directions. They are willing to go among any man's sick hogs with their tonic and prove to the farmer , or stockman that they can save his hogs with the German Reliable Hog Tonic. They have done so and are willing to do so again. They can prove that htey have cured the sick hogs from good, reliable farmers who will give their word and honor that it cured their hogs. So, why should not others get results?
