tj Miss Leia Hill, of the Bernstein J store, is off duty on account of illness, t Mrs. Fred Schafer and grandson. ‘ Frederick Schafer, spent the day in '■ Fort Wayne. Kill two birds with one stone. Put 1 your Liberty Bond interest in WarSavings Stamps. The St. Joseph County Savings Bank, South Bend, in its advertising, ' refers to War Savings and Thrift Stamps as “Baby Bonds.” Rather . Good. The retail advertisers of the state . are lining up strong in behalf of theW S. S. movement. Papers from all parts of Indiana are being received showing advertisements, portions of which are devoted to W. S. S. Clinton county has one gentleman ( who is giving to every scholar in the graded schools a Thrift Stamp folder with a 25 cent stamp in it. He has k bought 600 of these and will distribute ( them to the children thus getting them started in the right direction. , William E. Hinshaw, former min- ( ister, who is serving a life sentence in t . the Indiana state prison at Michigan City for the murder of his wife more ( than sixteen years ago, will.be pardoned or paroled within two or three months, according to an Indianapolis dispatch. Certain societies, like the University Club of South Bend, take out. a club ! certificate ami pay for it through collections taken from time to time, or voluntary gifts of Thrift Stamps. la short, there are numberless “ways to do it." “Where there’s a will there is 1 a way,”—and there ought to be fifty t million wills in the nation to aid the I government in itg time of need, and • at the same time train the people in economy and thrift.

Dr. J. M. Miller was u Fort Wayne business visitor today. Mrs. Ralph Amrine and Miss Hoverman spent the day in Fort Wayne. The latest issue of the R. F. D. News contains an appeal to patrons of the rural routes to keep the snow drifts away from their mail box and keep the road open so that the mall carriers can get through. A request Is also issued against Jutting penles loose in the mail box in cold weather, compelling the carrier to fish around with cold, ungloved fingers. The suggestions meet with the hearty approval of rural mail carriers here and every where and are particularly applicable. It is pointed out by the treasury department that Thrift Stamps are net made redeemable in cash for the reason that these stamps are simply intended as a convenient method forth" small savers to accumulate tnough to purchase War-Savings Stamps, which bear interest and are redeemable in cash. In addition, to provide for redemption for these Thrift Stamps would involve such an amount of detailed expense as io impair the practicability of their use. In fact, they would be more trouble and expense t.» the government possibly than they are worth. A new plan, novel and patriotic, has been adopted by the Christian church of Sullivan, Indiana, whereby the church debt will be paid during 1918. The plan is a campaign which has two slogans—“ Win the War." and “Pay the debt.” The membership of the church is to buy enough War-Sav-ings Stamps so that when these are turned over to the church the outstanding indebtedness will be paid that is, there will be sufficient War-Sa Ings Stamps to eneck off the indebtedness, The church people have entered into the campaign in an enthusiastic manner, and weekly reports of Stamp purchases are being made by the various committees appointed. A big thennonietei has been placed in the church which registers the progress of the campaign. A method of making bread without either sugar or malt has been worked out by the Ismert-Hincke Milling Co., of Kansas City, and is presented to the public for the good of the baking industry. This process uses germ middlings, which are ordinarily sold for live-stock food. Seven pounds of germ middlings are weighed out for use with 100 pounds of fipur. placed in a vessel, and scalded with water. After it. has stood for a short time th- - is strained out, and the water used in making up the dough, adding as much more water as is necessary. Sponge made in this way with out the use of either sugar or malt shows an increased expansion with a loaf of fine texture and exceptional flavor, a trifle whiter than when sugar is used in baking. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad recently constructed in its own shops some refrigerator ears believed to embody new and economical features of design, according to the Railway Age Gazette. Contrary to the usual pra - lice, insulation is applied without air space between the different layers. This gives better support to insulator material. It has been found difficult to maintain a tight car with layers of insulation separated, and as the only real dead-air space is in the insulation material itself, this new construction prevents disarrangement and leakage, is less complicated and the insulation being better supported, will not deteriorate as rapidly. A study of refriger-ator-car design showed that content will be better cooled if air in the car has direct and positive circulation. To obtain this circulation, the bulkhead of the ice chamber is made soliiL with ample openings at the top and bottom, and the load held above the floor on racks. Wire netting is provided to hold the ice. permitting free circulation of air around it. ' Display arrangement of fruit is cot.- ’ ceded to be an important element in sales and the building up of a thriving perishable department in the retail •grocery. But the Grocers’ Magazine believes that merchants sometimes devote labor to displays which are purely artistic and lack selling appeal, whereas quickly arranged mass displays, with selling appeal, would be much more effective. Experiments in a Philadelphia store denionst rated that, symmetrical and novel fruit displays, arranged with considerable labor, would attract admiralion from shoppers, yet show unsatisfactory sales. This store found that wooden bins placed just inside the entrant'' and made so that five boxes of oranges or apples could be dumped into then loose, were more satisfactory than symmetrical displays, especially when placed where customers could conn close to the fruit and when supple Imented with price placards. Tin massed display seemed to give peoph the impression that the store win 'making a specialty of fruit, and. a: ■against, the symmetrical display, show ed increased 1 sales of 100 per cent.

Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel — are a mild but sure axative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards’determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish ic brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why ; cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place. i Most headaches, "dullness” and that 1 lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel “loggy” and I “heavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded J brain and how they “perk up” the spirits. I 10c and 25c a box.
