ji to the republican members of the leg mature, asking them for an opin'ot as to whether or not a special sebioof the legislature should be called Not a line to any democratic membci '* and his only interest in the matter at he expresses it is what is best for tbs republican party, not what is best Cot the people of Indiana. He has already '* promised to call the special session and knows he must call it to mage lef, gal the collection of taxes this year S Through a fluke in the law not a cent " of tax can be legally collected unless ' the law is changed, for it provides that the law shall not be effective for ton years and as the old law ta repealed, the whole matter is in a pretty stew. The foxy governor is trying to make it appear that the republics nt are demanding the session, though the leaders realize the trouble they are getting into, and would like to avoid 1 it if possible. The governor of ‘he republican party is putting himself deep- , er in the hole each day. TAP EARTH FOR HEAT The inventor of the steam turbine. Sir Charles Parsons, advocates drilling a hole into the earth’s crust for a distance of from ten to twelve miles, thereby tapping the inexhaustible supply of heat of the interior of the earth. As he points out, all parts of the earth will require different depths lof bores to reach heat. At la niello. I Italy, heat power sufficient to run ten thousand horse power turbine w.ts found at about 500 feet. In Alaska, heat reaching the boiling point of water was had at only sixty feet. In Ohio, wells, primarily drilled for oil, were warmed at 8,000 feet to 188 degrees Fahrenheit Tib is he thinks will answer the question: After coal, what?

Its natural scenic beauty, abun.l dance of shade and sparkling, limpid g waters, teeming with fish life, offer 9 allurement to the business man lien' upon quiet and recreation far fret’ 1 the marts of toil and human ken. A modern hotel was erected an< J’ opened at Turkey Run last season □ making possible the conveniences o 4 city life in this virgin wilderness B More than 33.500 persons visited thir delightful retreat last season. 3 John M. Davis, the new superintend 1 ent at McCormick's -Creek Canyo r - park, has prepared to rejuvenate the -old Denklewater sanitarium thi spring and informs the departmen' the park will be ready to open on the first of April. This park which cor sista of 350 acres of primeval wilder ness has all the natural advantages o( Turkey Run. Its rocky canyons ar< ’ carpeted with ferns, luxurious grasse- • and rare beautiful mosses and lichen? • Each canyon has its diamond clea- ' breek.

UNUSUAL BLOOD TESTS Serology, or the study of blood ser urns, has found that the blood of dis ferent races of mankind have differ ent reactions when subjected to test' This led to the science being intro duced into crimology as a sample of Hood, such as that of a murderer or thief that has been hurt is tested and the re-actions tell whether he r white, black, brown or yellow. The tests have reached the point whereby it is said, each individual's blood has slightly different re-Uctions. Thus the crimologist can tell whether a prisoner is the guilty one if he has a sample of the crimianl’s blood. Tiles' - testa have shown that the Russian is more closely related to the Chinese than he is to the European. In the same way it is found that most of th? Esquimaux tribes are descended from the Chinese. The test, made several years ago, of the blood of the higher members of the monkey family, it is said, shows man has relationship with the age. Sulphur is one of the oldest knowu elements; the ancient Assyrian alchemists regarded it as the principle of combustion on account of its own inflammability, and termed it ‘‘brimstone", meaning burning stone.

COULDN'T LEAVE HOME FOR YEARS Mrs. Pitts Hasn’t a Trace of Rheumatism Now — “Tanlac is Wonderful,” She Says r — “Tills is the'first time in years that I have been away from home, and It you had seen what a dreadful condition I was in five or six years ago you would be surprised to see me in thia •tore now." said Mrs. M. A. i’itts. of Hanna City. Illinois, in relating her remarkable experience to the Tanlac ■epresentative at the Sutliff & t a-’® trug store in Peoria, a few days go “At the time I began taking Tanlac." explained Mrs. Pitts. "I was so cr.ptied up with rheumatism that 1 could tot even walk across the house with>ut stopping for my pain to ease up. Tut now J am feeling as well as I did wenty-fivb years ago and I want everybody to know that it’s all because >f what Tanlac has done for me. “My arms and legs pained me contlnually so that there was no ease or •onifort for me day nor night. My cnees were so stiff, swollen and sore ‘hat when 1 tried to take a step they almost gave way. The pain nearly Irove me distracted. I had been suf'ering this way for twenty years and ried so many different liniments and nedicines with no relief that I scarcev had any hopes of ever getting bet‘er. My appetite wps never very -ood. either, and my stomach was ’lso in bad condition. “Well, I never thought was a nedicine in the world that could help my rheumatism. But a person never tets too old to learn, for I had taken Tanlac but a few days when I could eel my pains easing up. After taking it for about two weeks. I found hat I could walk all over the house without feeling a pain. I was the hai> •tiest woman you could find. I noticed ny elbows were not so stiff and sore Tiid I could raise my hands to eat vithout suffering near so much. Then felt so encouraged that my husband sent for several more bottles of Tan-' 'ac and now I am not only rid of the I •heumatism, but my appetite is just vonderful and my stomach seems in better condition than it ever was. Beore taking Tanlac 1 hadn’t slept well n years, but now I sleep all night ong just like a child. Well, it i.s nothing less than wonderful the way Tanlac tas gotten me over the rheumatism. Why. my limbs are as free from pain is when 1 was gill. I am now able o do II my housework and, as I said * feel as w-ell as I did twenty-five years ago. You can just ask any of my 'eighbors out there at Hanna City, "or they all know what a bad fix I was 'n c’d wiH t -II von how easily I gat around now and enjoy myself again >ftrr be'-c honrod up for so many years tinable to get off the place, and I will never get through praising Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith. Yager & Falk’s and in Berne at Stea?el j.- Craig’s drug store.
