Come on now, this is no time to let up. Help put it over. There is hope for the distilleries. The American Philosophical society of Philadelphia has decided after exhaustive teats that hens given alcoholic baths lay more eggs and are more able to resist disease than prohibition hens. In time, perlraps, the alcoholized hen will lay ready made eggnogs to reward her benefactors. —Chicago News. President Wilson’s reply to the kaiser’s note on the submarine question is another high class public document, giving courteous and direct answer to the imperial government of Germany, assuring them of our faith and maintaining the right for this government to deal singly with each nation. The president will deal just as firmly wihr England and with every other country of the world, doing that which he believes humanity has the right to demand. National Committeeman E. G. Hoffmts has returned from St. Louis where he made satisfactory arrangements and contracts to take care of the boys from Indiana at the convention which opens June 14. Several thousand Indiana democrats will attend the meeting and the Hoosier delegates will have headquarters at the Jefferson hotel. The national headquarters will also be at this hotel and Mr. Hoffman has planned the very best of everything for the Indiana delegation. Senator Fleming’s contribution of *l,o*o to the state park commission was a handsome one and stands as the sort of practical patriotism of which Indiana needs more. The people of the Hoosier state are hardly awake to the treasures that are slipping from them and if these good things are to be saved for future generations to enjoy, it will be because of the generosity of public spirited men like Mr. Fleming. To be sure, not all can afford to contribute so handsomely as he has done, but the most of us can contribute our mites.

And we should do so. —Fort Wayne News. Congressman Adair has stirred up the animals. His remark in his Richmond speech that he would rather trust the candidate for office who wanted it for the salary it paid than the man who was willing to spend more than the salary to procure his nomination, has brought the cry of "mud slinging” from the republican press. The facts are some of the republican candidates before the primary in March let go of more money than the offices would pay if they should be elected and it is making them sore for Adair or anybody else to call the attention of the voters to the facts.—Portland Sun. rjcimnuMat iimmrrrwtmwxmEnn DOINGS IN SOdFTY WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

NORTHWEST HAS GROWN RICH 1 Statistic* Bh»w That It* Wealth Ha* Been Increased Remarkably Dur Ing Last Few Year*. The tremendous growth of the Northwest is probably not appreciat- ’ ed in the far South, East and West, ’ and even the people themselvee who have been concerned in this rush of development are probably not broadly cognizant of what has taken place, the Milwaukee Journal observes. That from 1900 to 1915 Minnesota’s bank deposit* jumped from $76,- ■ 000,000 to $551,000,000 reads like a ! tale of Aladdifl’s lamp. The dry plains of South Dakota also have evidently blossomed like the rose, for in this period bank deposits have grown from $14,000,000 io slll.000,000. TMIs means that South Dai kota bank deposits have risen SOO per cent in 15 years, a wonderful record. Montana’s bank deposits in the same period have leaped from $17,000,000 to $101,000,000. In the aggregate here are four contiguous northwestern states, .the Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota whose bank deposits have risen in 15 years from $118,000,000 to SBOO,000,000, and whose crop values have risen from a negligible amount ir 1900 to $600,000,000 in 1915. The 1900 figures show these states almost in the pioneering stage. The 1915 figures speak of the development of a vast farm empire with millions of contented families. And all accomplished in 1% decades, just a fraction of one lifetime. Perhaps ths only man who is not surprised at this showing is a visionary like James J. Hill, who, even when his locomotives shrieked the first call of civilization over the western plains, spoke of the Northwest in eleven-figured terms. He has seen his wildest dreams comt true.

THE LONELY DEATH.' One day they witnessed the execution of a spy. They returned from that deeply moved. What impressed them most was the loneliness of such a death. The doomed man stood before a platoon. Then beyond that, and all about him, was a solid square of infantry. And beyond that, and all around, one felt hundreds of thousands of men, his enemies ail of them; all of them thinking of him with hatred and contempt. And his own lines were so very far off, and in those lines no one thought of him at that particular moment when friendly thought would have been such a boon. No one over there thought of him at all except perhaps one; the one who had sent him here, who considered him merely aa a pawn, and would make an eternal secret of his death and his deed. A i lonely end, that of a spy!—James Hopper, in Collier’s Weekly. - - - t PRECEDENCE. Ethel—Jack, papa asked rne last evening what your intentions were.

DRINK HOT WATER I BEFORE BREAKFAST I - 1 Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside ; and j are seldom id. ! i If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise awaiting you. To-morrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is Intended z to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of Intestines all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxius, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning in-side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthusiastic and keep it up daily. It Is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside Is not new, as'millions of people practice It, Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless, DR. BURNHAM’S SAN-YAK Act* a* a Living Antiseptic In the Stomach and Intestines. 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 harden ed arteries.

Heart trouble is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels.

Dear Friends: — Please do not forget to do some , thinking along this line: Have I aj good title to my farm? Have I a' good title to my city property? Have' I an abstract of its title? Was an abstract ever made of it? How long have I been in possession? If I have ,110 abstract, why didn’t I insist on one when I bought? Did I inherit my firm? Were the court proceedings all regular and proper? Now please remember, nowadays, when you sell your property and give deed the purchaser demands good title. Then it is up to you to have an abstract made and if there are any defects in your title, to have them corrected. Why not have that abstract made now? We will make it itp for you at a reasonable charge. Our office is next door to the postoffice. Respectfully, THE BOWERS REALTY COMPANY. F. M. SCHIRMELEY.
