Nevin Crowell has received word from his mother, Mrs. Sarah Hottel, who lives near Garrett, ind., that she had taken one chance on a pony, buggy and harness, which cost her fifty cents, and drew the outfit, her number being 181. The contest was to raise money to buy a new fire truck for Altona, Ind. She intends to sell the outfit and donate the money to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. According to an interesting division made by C. O. Bartlett, a Cleveland engineer, our American cities are as the wise and unwise Virgins, for some of them recover values from their garbage by modern reclamation methods, while others dispose of garbage by burning or dumping. In a letter to the Manufacturers’ Record, Mr. Bartlett states that Los Angeles, under a contract with a corporation, receives 51 cents a ton for all its garbage, averaging about SIOO a day for the last three years. Fertilizer worth sl2 to sls a ton, valuable for its potash, ammonia and lime phosphate, is ,used on the orange groves around the city, while the grease recovered is sold to a Ijos Angeles soap maker and made up into a special soap that finds ready sale in Mexico. Garbage grease is one of the chief sources of glycerin, containing 7 to 12 per cent, and the war demand for glycerine has caused the price of garbage grease to increase from 4to 12 cents a pound. San Francisco burns its garbage, and in doing so destroys SSOO a day in precious values, and many other American cities and towns are doing the same. A can of corn is an extremely variable commodity, says Prof. Remington, of the University of North Dakota. Chemical examination of nearly 100 cans of corn bought in the open market showed that the amount of salt used in canning might vary from a quarter to three-quarters of 1 per cent, and that the sugar varies from 1 per cent to nearly 5 per cent. This variation in sugar is due to changes in the sugar content of the corn itself as it comes to the cannery through the season. As sweet corn ripens, its sugar turns to starch, and in making a uniform product the canner should be governed by chemical tests from day to day, increasing added sugar as the season advances. Fancy corn can often be packed without added sugar, thus effecting important sugar savings in canneries. Sweet corn harvested in northern states after September *. when nights are cold, comes to the cannery sweet and tender, with maximum sugar, content, but when canned is apt to Ire curdled, separated, and disappointing. One-half of one pci cent of starch added to such corn lias been found a remedy, and efforts are now being made to secure sanction for such a pack under the food law.

NEW OFFICERS IN TODAY Charles W. Yager became lnayor of the city of Decatur today noon, succeeding Charles N. Christen who has served most creditably for four years past. Other officers who begin their duties today were Dick Christen as clerk. Joseph McFarland, treasurer, and Jacob Martin, Fred Unn, L. C. Helm, John Logan and J. M. Miller as councilman. Fred Hencher succeeded Zeph Melchi as marshall and Thomas Dowling succeeds Isaac Chronister as street commissioner,' Henry Dellinger becomes fire chief, following Wal Wemhoff, Dr. H. F. Cos-, tcllo succeeds himself as secretary ol the board of health. The men enter upon their terms with the best wishes of the people of Decatur and the sincere desire of all to aid them in giving excellent service as we believe they will. i

TWO WILLS FILED The Wills of .Both Mr. and Mrs. John Shosenberg ENTERED ON RECORD Each Wills to the Survivor —Then to Their Children. The will of John Shoseuberg, late of Blue (’reek township, who died December 27, 1917, was admitted to probate here. At the same time, the will of his wife, Dora Shoseuberg, whose death occurred September 17, 1910, was adpmteu to probate. The wills were written at the same time, October 3, 1906, and were both witnessed by David E. Smith and John Schurger. The wills are very much alike. Each wills that all the read es- ( tate, both real and personal, Is to go to the surviving one, cdther the lius- , band or wife, as long as he or she lives. j Each then designates that at the death of the survivor, the real estate. ' including the seventy acre farm in this county, the farming implements, etc., live stock, machinery, household goods, etc., go to the son, George H. . Shosenberg. I To the son, William A.

None of these bequests are to be paid, however, until the death of the last survivor, either husband or wife. If any of the heirs are dissatisfied with the terms of the will, it sets out that they are to receive nothing and their shares are to be divided among those that are satisfied. Each asks that burial be in the family lot in Standing Itock cemetery at Kent, Ohio. In addition to the above bequests, Mrs. Shosenberg's will sets out that

DeVoss as special judge to probate same. THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS MEDICINE How Lydia E„ Pinkham s Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For Woman’s Use. A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reliability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness 1 which attends the making of this great medicine for woman’s ills. Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs 1 are used anually and ail have to ha gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub ' stances are at their oest. ' The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. I Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles. It i 3 the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills. I The letters from women who have | been restored to health by the use of I Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Comj pound which we are continually publishing attest to its virtue.

Their makers are afraid to prove their claims by telling what their medicines contain. The only way to be honest with the people is to let them know what they are paying for. Here is the Vinol formula. When the doctor knows what a medicine contains, it ceases to be a "patent” medicine. ]> Cod Liver and Beef Peptones, Iron and •*/ Manganese Peptonates, Iron and Ammonium Citrate, Lime and Soda Glycerophosphates, Cascarin. Any doctor will tell you that the ingredients of Vinol, as named above, will enrich the blood and banish anaemia and create strength. When the blood is pure and rich and red, the body is strong and robust. You can prove this at our expense because your money will be returned if Vinol does not improve vour health.
