Christian Neusbaumer bought it in Switzerland in 1835 from Christian Betz, and Edward Ehle, father of Frank Ehle, bought it in 1884 from Mr. Neusbaumer, who had brought it to America. There is nothing to designate its earlier history. It still is well preserved, but few here can read it. —Bluffton News. The various papers in this vicinity have been printing ‘’scare” heads relative t othe “dynamite plot” to blow up the Clover Leaf bridge here. They say the recent high water was caused by the bridge being too narrow to allow a natural flow and the water backed up so high as to cause “immense” damage. A Delphos paper states that a large force of workmen were rushed here during the high water to protect the bridge and embankment from the wrathy citizens, whose homes were imperiled. Gee whiz! — Willshire Herald.

Lew Shank, Indianapolis’ famous and funny ex-mayor, who, it will be remembered, leaped from the chief executive’s chair of the Hoosier capital to the vaudeville stage, with one bound, is now appearing as the star in the farce comedy, “The Whole Damm Family,” which is booked to appear at the Bosse opera house on Thursday, January 20, and in which the versatile Lew is seen to a splendid advantage. This is not Lew’s first experience in farce by any means as he was an actor in his younger days before he began separating the public from money as an auctioneer. And it was while an auctioneer that Lew entered politics, first becoming county recorder of Marion county; then mayor of Indianapolis. Lew was also a receptive candidate for the republican nomination for governor, and he has had many other political honors heaped upon him. Although Lew is spending the winter on the stage he has announced himself for mayor of Indianapolis again and promises that as soon as his present tour closes he will return to the capital city and enter the race with all of his well known vigor, vim and vivaciousness as be it known that Lew is just as vivacious as Eva Tanguay. Os course, everybody wants to see Lew Shank and G. Carleton Guy has surrounded him with a capable cast while the farce in which Lew appears contains laugh in every line. Hot Water for Sick Headaches Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It before breakfast. Headache of any kind, is caused by autointoxication—which means selfpoisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked Into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing violent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which temporarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal. Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless, except for- a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. If you aren’t feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phosphated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons. '“Results are quick and it is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache or knew a miserable moment. -

Hurty, secretary of the state board of health Issues the following bulletin relative to grip: La grippe or influenza is an acute epidemic disease affectin primarily the respiratory passages, and secondarily may effect the circulatory, nervous and digestive systems. It is caused by a specific nrircrobe called the “influenza germ”. Microscopic study

of the organlsums present in those who are afflicted with what at this time is called grippe does not discover except in rare instances, the true "Inflluenza germ,” but this investigation doos discover green-pus-forming organisms and the germs causing pneumania. In the absence of the influenza germ” the disease that is now prevalent cannot be called inflluenza or la grippe. It is more probably that the present disease is a form of acute and very contagious pneumonia, for as said, the pneumonia germs are simost universally present and also green-pus-forming germs. The contagiousness of the disease, whatever, it is, is certainly very marked, and as the germs, whether they be those of influenza or of pneumonia or of the pusforming kind, are contained in the secretions of the nose and throat, these tacts make it possible to lay down directions and precautions for the hygiene and prevention of the disease. Certain it is, we are fighting unseen foes and the means of prevention pursued must be those which are universally asknowledged as effective in controlling repiratory diseases. First, good health must be maintained if possible and this means high individual resistance. This is to beT done by careful attention of diet. Avoid over-feeding and rich food, to-

gether with the proper amount of exercise according to age. Personal cleanliness, thorough ventilation of living and sleeping quarters and attention to all bodily functions. Second, as the the infection (disease germs) are spread principally through contact of individuals, the victim of any catarrhal affection should not indulge in kissing and should always hold in front of his face a paper napkin when he must sneeze or expectorate, and the paper napkin may be kept in an ordinary paper bag until such time as it may be burned. Mild antiseptic sprays for the nose and throat and also mild mouth washes should be used. Third, those who are very sick from the prevalent catarrhal disease should go to bed in a well ventilated room. They should not try to continue at their work for this is perlious, and especially is this true for those past 50 years of age. Fourth, don’t take heart depressents. At ilia beginning i tis generally well to take a brisk cathartic followed wlcfi quinine and minute doses qf strychnine as prescribed by a physician. Avoid alcohol absolutely. Whiskey stews are injurious and do not help catarrh disease or grippe one particle but on the contrary are detrimental and rather further the development of the malady. The Protein forms of catarrhal disease causes a large variety of complications such as nervous, heart, kidney and intestinal complications. These constitute serious after effects and may be largely insured against by refraining from work until recovery is complete. J. N. HURTY. f c BROWN FUNERAL Funeral services for George W. Brown will be held Sunday morning at ten o’clock at the Antioch church, burial to be in the Maplewood cemetery at Decatur.
