San-YaK prevents self poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents clogging of the colon and caecum; hence Its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble Is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, and you can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; it is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. SI.OO per bottle. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, Decatur, Ind. SOLONS CUT° INDEMNITY.

Physiological Facta. Covcral recently discovered facts about the body's growth are surprls- . Ing. One is that the height Increases more during the warm months, while the reverse is the case, with the weight. Another Is that women continue to grow tall long after men have stopped. A man’s height rarely increases after he is twenty-five years old, but a woman, when she becomes a mother or under other conditions, may add as much as an inch to her stature up to the age of thirty or even beyond. > Signa of the Times. There is a promising case on South street, kept by a ’’Frenchman’’ who can speak only Yiddish. In badlyspelled signs it promises many things In the menu line which it rarely is able to supply. Among the signs one reads: "Coffee, plane, 5 cents;” "Coffee with supe, 10 cents;” "Coffee, bred a/id butter, with children, 15 cents.” And this in the heart of our humane metropolis. — New York Times. Thoughtful of Mother. Harry, aged four, does not like thunder storms, but on account of his manly pride the fact is not referred to. Recently during a storm in the night he was awakened by a tremendous clap of thunder, and hastily climbing out of his bed into his mother’s bed he grabbed her tightly around the neck and said:* "Didn't I told you I would take care of you when it thundered?” Deodorizing a Cavity. A large cavity in a tooth can be deodorized by dipping a pellet of cotton, held by pliers, into water, then taking up with it a small quantity of sodium perborate from a saucer or glass slab and quickly Introducing this dressing Into the cavity. The perborate liberates oxygen, which renders the cavity odorless and relatively aseptic. Tenants for Centuries. Two remarkable cases of unbroken succession of tenancy were mentioned at the sale of part of Sir David Delves Broughton’s Cheshire estate at Crewe, England. It was stated that the Parton family had been tenants on the estate over two hundred years, while the Cooke family had been tenants in unbroken succession for 267 years. Who Wrote the Constitution? It is generally understood that James Madison was the chief author of the Constitution of the United States. Beyond a doubt the great instrument was the joint product of the entire convention, but from the best , accounts Madison was the man who put it into shape as we have it today. Education. The stored mind is strong, mentality ( grows, like the body, by being fed. j Knowledge is a tested route to wis- 9 dom, but meditation is a surer. What digestion is to food, meditation is to knowledge. The end of all education is to teach a person to think clearly, strongly and practically. What He Would Say. Mamma —"Howard, when you get to be the head of the family, what will you say to your children when they are naughty?” Small Howard —“Oh. I’ll do like papa does. I’ll tell them how awfully good I was when I was a kid.” Generous Little Soul. Mother—“ Bobby, we’re making up a box of broken toys to send to the poor children. Go and bring me any you have.” Bobby (returning with armful) —“I didn't have any broken ones, mamma, so I smashed these.” How He Began. "I understand you began your life as a newsboy,” observed the friend admiringly. “No,” replied the millionaire “Some one has been fooling you. I began life as an infant." —New York Times. Ante That Make Bread. Ants have been found in Dalmatia that actually make bread by chewing seeds into pulp, forming it in loaves, baking them in the sun and then storing them away for future use. Goat's Milk Best for Children. In the Russian and German hospitals goat's milk is much used for children as being more nourishing than cow's milk and free from tuberculosis. Valuable in Surgical Work. The sinews of the kangaroo are especially desirable for use in surgery, for sewing wounds and binding broken bones together. Can You Blame Him? Contempt may also be defined as the feeling in which a man holds another man’s hat. —Topeka Capital. Sea Water as a Preservative. Thorough soaking in sea water lengthens the life of telegraph poles. Optimistic Thought. He is rich enough who has no wants.
