I =s=S j THEIR WAY TO HAPPINESS, One Couple That Kdpt Out of Debt and Didn't Keep Up Appearances. “But they had to keep up appearances,' the other woman declared, speaking of a young couple who had lived beyond the husband's salary and were In all sorts of trouble, according to the Indianapolis Star. “Why did they—what appearances?” the woman opposite asked. “Why, they had to live to some extent at least like their friends did. the people they were thrown with. They ' had to live in a nice neighborhood > and dress respectably and entertain a , little once in a while.” “No,” the woman opposite Insisted. 1 “They only thought they did. They were merely ‘keeping up with Lizzie’ and didn't know how foolish it was when they couldn’t afford it” “But what could they have done? They couldn’t go and live in the slums and they had to keep up their self respect.” “It depends upon what you call selfrespect. I can maintain mine best by not going in debt up to my eyes. And ft wasn’t necessary for them to go to the slums, wherever those may be. I know a couple who found two rooms out on a side street and went to housekeeping in them with the few bits of furniture they could afford to I buy. Most of their wedding presents were packed away as not suitable for their environment They were several miles away from the aristotratic neighborhood with which they were most familiar, but they didn't mind that.” “I should have thought they would.” “At any rate they didn’t mind it enough to put off getting married until the man got a big salary.” “Did their friends come to see them?” “They certainly did. Some of the callers came from curiosity, I suppose, and somo probably pitied- them, but they were perfectly happy just the same. The point was that they did not spend more than they had and even out of the little they saved something.” “But didn't they have to go shabby?” “They did sometimes; they w*ent without many things to which they were accustomed, but you see they were very much in love and they, had counted the cost and were prepared.”' “What about them now?” “Oh, they are living in a house of i their own, but I doubt if they are any i happier than when they were going without in their two rooms. But they proved to me that It Is not necessary to keep up appearances.” Diet for Acidity of the Stomach. Acidity of the stomach and ulcerated stomach are largely on the increase, in both England and America, If statistics are to be believed. And Dr. Willard J. Stone of Toledo. 0., points out in the Journal of the American Medical Association that these are the two countries in which the consumption of sugar is greatest. Doctor Stone recommends an almost starch and sugar free diet for persons troubled with this acidity. He says the following article of food may be eaten with safety: Fresh fruit pulp or fruit juices, such as grapefruit, oranges, peaches and watermelon, without sugar; broth, soft-boiled or poached, eggs, fish, chicken, broiled or baked meats, bacon, milk, tea, cream, butter, green vegetables, such as asparagus, spinach, cauliflower, watercress, endives, squash carrots, turnips, lettuce, fruit and lettuce salads, with olive oil dressing containing a very small quantity of lemon juice; Brazil nuts, pecans or filberts. The following foods are prohibited: Candy, sugar, sirups and condiments; the fresh fruits which contain more than ten per cent carbohydrates, such as apples, pears, bananas, cherries, currants, plums; of the vegetables, peas, parsnips, beans, potatoes, com; the cereals, rice, macaroni, bread, crackers, cocoa, chocolate and coffee. Cottonseed Flour. It has recently been discovered that flour made from cottonseed is a valuable food for general consumption, and an inexpensive substitute for meat, it is remarkably high in protein, which is the nutrient, or flesh-producing, substance in meat, and is readily digested by the gastric juices. It is also said to be quite palatable and satisfying. Cottonseed flour is made from the kernel of the seed after the oil has been pressed from it. It is a highlyconcentrated food and is in no way intended to replace wheat flour or other cereals, and cannot safely be so used, because an excess of protein is probably as damaging to the human system as a lack of it. It is supposed to be mixed with three or four parts of wheat flour and made into bread. Teuton Hydroaeroplane. Details regarding a Teuton hydroaeroplane which fell into the hands of the Russians in the Riga region are of i unusual interest in that they disclose 1 the thoroughness w’*h which German ! air craft are finished and equipped. I To quote from the report of the Morn- ! ing Post correspondent at Petrograd: I “All the necessary manipulating parts I of the machinery are made luminous at night with a radium composition. There is a special compass, and seats are provided for three. The hydroaeroplane carries a searchlight, a Maxim, and a rifle, with an adequate supply of ammunition, and ten bombs, ! five on each side, of ten pounds weight I apiece-”

MACHINES! SAYS I HE IS WELL MAN“Tanlac Has Worked Wonders for Me,” Charles Miller of Muncie, Declares. Muncie, Ind., April 6 —Charles Miller. a well known Muncie machinist, who lives at 1501 West Tenth street, is one qf the thousands of people I who have been relieved by Tanlac. tlie ' Master Medicine, that is being used so widely In Indiana. He said recently: “For eight years 1 was In a run down condition. I suffered from intense pains in my stomach, had frequent palpitations of the. heart and terrible headaches, and was in a nervous, bloated, constipated condition. "Tanlac has worked wonders for me. I have been taking the medicine only a short time, but already I hifve been greatly relieved. The palpations of the heart and the headaches , arc gone and the constipated condition has disappeared. Tanlac has made me a well man.” The words of such a well known man of the community as Mr. Miller, with the reputation he has for honesty and integrity, added, as they are, to the testimony of thousands of others, should prove tlie merits of Tanlac. Tanlac is especially beneficitl for people suffering from rundown conditions and is excellent for stoniaeh, kidney and liver troubles, rheumatism, nervousness and the like. Tanlac Is sold exclusively in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store. —Advt. FEEL YOUNG! It’s Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets For You! Beware of the habit of constipation.

Johnson -was born in Tuscarawas county 1 , Ohio, August 14, 1847, and died at his home near Monroe, Adams county Indiana. March 29, 1916, aged 68 years, 7 months and 15 days. He was left motherless when but two years old. In 1850 he and his two brothers came with their father to Adams county, Indiana, which was then a vast wilderness, and settled on a farm two miles northwest of Monroe, where he grew to manhood. He was married to Miss Malinda Ball, also of Adams county, November 11, 1869. To this union were born eight children, of whom three sons and two daughter are living. He was converted to Cod in 187 t) at Washington Chapel, in a meeting held by the Rev. Shaffer, of the Protestant Methodist church, and joined the United Brethren church at a class they then had at the Deßold school house, with the Rev. T. Coats as pastor. Some years later a United Brethren society was organized at what is now known as Winchester, and Brother Johnson was one of the first trustees of that society and has continued in office as president of the board of trustees io his death. Brother Johnsop was a very reserved and unpretentious man and esteemed his brethren better than himself. He was a man of strong principles and sterling character. He had the courage to stand true convictions. He was true to his country, his home and his God. He never caused his pastor any trouble and never complained of his load oi refused to do his duty. He was loyal to the church, and always loved and cherished her principles. Ho was always a church-goer j when he was able to do so, and will j now be sadly missed by his brethren ' and sifters. His work is now done.; His last words were: “Wife, stick to I the Lord. I am ready, waiting and j anxious to go and be at home with i Jesus.” He leaves a wife, one brother, who, on account of affliction and old age, was detained at his home in | Newberry, Pa.; two half brothers, three half-sisters, five children, twen-ty-eight grandchildren , three greatI grandchildren and many friends to ■ mourn his departure. By the grace of God we shall meet him across the ' great divide, beyond the stars. Funeral services Were conducted by the writer at the Winchester United Brethren church, Friday afternoon, March 31.

The top of the box is only 43 inches from the ground. This point is valuable. The waist-high box will save yoy all of the hardest work of loading because the real strain of pitching manure comes in lifting it above the waist line. Still there is ample clearance underneath for work in rough fields and soft yards. And you will have no trouble because of lack of traction. The drive wheels of the Low 20th Century are well under the load, supporting the greater part of it. This position of the rear wheels also lightens the draft. A third point is that it does away with the tendency to sag that would be present if the box were suspended between front and rear axles.
