John T. Myers made a business trip to bhio City this morning. Mr. J. W. Brown of Auburn spent Sunday with Miss Georgia Meibers. Ed Boknecht who has been critically for a week from goiter is some better today, though still very sick. The baby of Guy-n Porter south of town who has been seriously ill for several days is much improved and considered out of danger. John H. Schultz, agent for the Hoos-. ier Casualty Co., received a check for $60.00 for A. L. Brenlinger who was quarantined for small pox. Chester Johnson, of Gary, went to Fort Wayne this morning on business. He will return to attend the birthday celebration for his mother. Mrs. Joe Johnson, at Monroe, Wednesday. Miss Georgia Meibers and Missj Genevieve Bremerkamp will leave; Wednesday morning for Chicago where they will attend a millinery opening at the Fisk Milliner House. The Smileage books are going tost. If you havn’t sent one to your soldier favorite, do it now. They cost you but a dollar and they will bring several hours of smiles to the boy in camp. The heatless Monday was again observed here, the stores closing at the hours assigned by the federal order. It is possible that this may be the last of these occasions as the situation regarding fuel is gradually improving. A district meeting of workers interested in the Third Liberty Loan campaign will be held at the Anthony hotel Thursday noon and those of this county who are interested should attend. Representatives from Berne. 1 Geneva, Monroe, Preble, Linn Grove 1 and Decatur are expected to be on hands. Plans for the next drive will be discussed.

Miss Mayrne Delninger left this morning for Cleveland, 0., to attend ' the millinery opening. Miss Flossie Steiner changed curs here on her way to her homo in Berne from a visit at Uniondale. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Yoder and son returned to Berne this afternoon after attending to business here. Miss Louise Brown returned this afternoon to Lafayette after a visit here with Miss Virginia Cravens. Mrs. M. M. Shady returned today to her home at EJlkhart after a visit with Mr. Shady’s daughter, Mrs. Elmer Bryan and baby at Magley. Mrs. Ben Shell, of Bobo, who has been very ill, of pneumonia, is better. Miss Keller who has been attending her has been released on account of her improvements and has returned here. For the purpose of exchanging ideas on conservation, efficiency, elimination of waste, and good plant management, 10 ice-cream manufacturers have incorporated the Inter-Cities Ice Cream Co., to meet war problems with good information on a teamwork basis, i Two of these companies are in Cleve- ' land, which is the headquarters of the new corporation, two in Washington, i D» C., two in Detroit, three in Toledo, 1 and one in Warren, Ohio. The possibilities for building up a | cheese department in retail grocery stores and butcher shops, promoting sales of American types of fancy | cheese, may be seen in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce report on our former purchases of European cheeses. During 1914 we ! bought 63.500.000 pounds of cheese ' abroad. Italy led with 26.500,000 pounds; Switzerland was next with 22.500,000 pounds: France stood third I with 5,500.000 pounds, and Holland fourth with 3.700.000. and small amounts from a few other countries. Five hundred painted bulletins and electric signs with the words ‘'Food j Will Win the War —Don't Waste It” ' have been installed throughout tiie ■ country. But 5.000 such signs are I needed as an aid to visualize the possibilities in this work and to secure cooperation. The Outdoor Advertising Section of the Food Administration, Washington. D. C.. has issued a broadside showing more than a dozen typical food bulletins in different locations. Copies of this circular, together with any other information desired, will be sent to inquirers. There is a distinct channel for foodsaving publicity in correspondence. The Post Office Department is now using canceling stamps with the words "Food Will Win the War—Don't Waste It.” As a method by which everybody may cooperate. H. J. Titus, superintendent of the dining-car service of the Northern Pacific Railway, uses a rubber stamp at the bottom of each letter sent out. with the following message: If each home saves--One ounce of meat daily it means 465.000,000 pounds annually, and one slice of bread. 365.000.000 loaves annually. and one piece of butter. 114.- ‘ 000,000 pounds annually, and one cup Jof milk. 912.000.000 quarts or the product of 400,000 cows annually. | A considerable margin for food saving still exists among the commissary 'stores of mining and lumber camps in I Kentucky. Tennessee and Virginia, ' and the Appalachian Trade Journal (Knoxville, Tenn., is leading a cam- | paign. under the federal food adminI istrators of those states, to secure j pledge cards from families through | the commissary store managers. Food ; saving posters are being sent to the ! stores. There is admittedly much food I wasted in the average mining and I lumber camp, according to commisI sary men who have enlisted in this . campaign, and conservation along food administration lines is expected to result in definite food savings, not merely for war ends but for permanent im- . provement in diet. The treasury department is mak- > ing every effort to have every meni- ! ber of America’s fighting forces take advantage of the government insurance plan, which Secretary McAdoo asserts to be "the most just and humane provision ever made by any nation for its soldiers and sailors.” The purpose is rapidly being achieved. the insurance having passed the third billion mark in the total of policies written, and there are many military units in which every member has taken insurance. The automatic insurance provided by the law is only partial and limited protection, payable only to wife, child, or widowed mother and ceases after February 12, 1918. It is important, , therefore, not only to the soldiers and j sailors of the country but to their : families and dependents, but before that date they avail themselves of j the full government protection. , which can go as high as SIO,OOO and is payable to the wife, husband, child, grandchild, parent, brother, or sister. The law also provides for the re-education and rehabilitation of the totally disabled and monthly compensation to those disabled,

A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Miss Kelly Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health. Newark, N. J.—“For about three years I suffered from nervous breakSdown and got so wealC 1 could hardly stand, and had headaches every day. 1 N tried everything I / could think of and was under a physician’s care for two vears. A girl friend h.id used Lydia E. -.Pinkham’s Vegei table Compound and ' she told me about lit. From the first I day I took it I began to feel better and I am well and 'able to do most any wSr/riUA kin(l of work - 1 l ! ,,| i have been recom- - '' mending the Compound ever since and give you my permission to publish this letter." —Miss Flo Kelly, 476 So. 14th St., Newark, N. J. The reason this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, was so successful in Miss Kelly’s case was because it went to the root of her trouble, restored her to a normal healthy condition and as a result her nervousness disappeared.

Clerk. 8 9-11-12 KEEP LOOKINGYOUNG It’s Easy—ls You Know Dr/ Edwards’ Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young is to feel young — to do this you must watch your liver and bowels — there’s no need of having a sallow complexion — dark rings under your eyes — pimples —a bilious look in your face — dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of al! sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for vears. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities. You will know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets by their olive color. 10c and 25c per box.

Jur men on the firing line are physically fit for military service because only about one man out of five was chosen to endure the hardships of this fearful war. But we must not be content with 20 per cent, in physical health of our American youth. We cannot afford to lose four men out. of five because of physical unfitness. 1 Such weaknesses can be cured. Many times the kidneys are to blame. ' If the kidneys are clogged with toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness ■ in the knees in the morning on 1 arising, your joints seem “rusty,” you may have rheumatic pains, pain - in the back, stiff neck, headaches, , sometimes swollen feet, or neuralgic ’ pains—all duo to uric acid or toxic ’. poisons stored in the blood and which 1 should be swept out.
