“ j] Every Bright Wideawake Morning is a tribute to ; instant j POSTUM after the coffee drinker makes the change to this healthful beven age There's no disturbed sleep or nerve irritation in POSTUM "There's a Reason" —————————— === A cf Indiana may expect a blow-up in the republican party before the primary election. There is a regular squabble on among the candi dates for the gubernatorial nomiua lion and the different factions are stooping to the lowest levels and making every sort of an accusation against one or the other candidates. The Fort Wayne News as biased as it is along political lines demands a show down and an explanation from the republican candidates. The other day the fellow citizens of Warren McCray of Kentlaud, one of the republican candidates for governor caused to be inserted in many of the papers throughout the state an advertisement charging that a statewide move was on to undermine and injure the candidacy of their fellow townsman for the nomination. The 1 advertisement has caused considerable flurry among those republicans I favoring either one of the other candidates. Ed Toner of Anderson who is also in the race has attacked both McCray and Fesler for the way they are spending money to get the nomination and warned them that if < they did not stop, they were liable ‘ to win# up the same way as Senator

Newberry did. It's so rotten that even the republicans cannot keep mu in. Added to this is the dissatis- 1 faction among the rock-ribbed republican j'.ud Lh»> progressives in tight to 1 secure the Indiana presidential vote. , The lines are breaking and it looks like a big blow up is coming. No doubt many republicans fear the 1 outcome of ihe state and uational ( conventions this year. ■ — t Phil Zoercher. who was appointed i by Governor Goodrich as the democratic member of the state tax board, but, who seemingly has changed his politics since he has been drawing < his fat salary as one of the “barons" j and in the attempt to hold on to his l job, is still trying to tel! the people of Indiana that the present tax law is a money saver for the taxpayers. . He wants the taxpayers in Adams county to overlook the item of? 19- j 757.35 which is paid to the state for i the highway commission, besides the J losing of the automobile tax which amounted to $17,663.88 last year and says the actual increase to the taxpayers in tliis county is only $5,975. - ] , Os course it would be nothing if you' ■ did not add the totals of the different ! , state funds. Add the $19,757.35 to 1 the $5,978.00 and you get a total of , $25,735.35, which is the increase that; . the Adams county taxpayers must send to the state, besides losing the seventeen thousand dollars of the automobile tax. There is an Increase' in everyone of the five state funds’ and Mr, Zoercher cannot dispute this ' fact. Thp taxpayers know this, the tax receipts show the increase and it will do him no good to have his letters printed in every republican j paper in the state. CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank all our friends and neighbors for the many acts of 'kindness and expressions of sympathyextended to us during the and sickness of our mother.

AFTEREFFECTS OF INFLUENZA WERE OVERCOME Barber’s Wife Feels 100 Per Cent Better Since She Began Using Trutona Terre Haute. Ind., April 15. —if you are in doubt whether Trutona will quickly and thoroughly overcome the severe atler-f ffects of influenza and pneumonia, read the following interesting statement ot E. S. Dodgers, a well known barber of 312 Swann street, lerre Haute. Below is what Mr. Hodgers says: "Since my will had influenza several weeks ago her system has been in a generally run-down condition. She didn't seem to h,»ve any appetite and complained of leeling so weak and tired out all of the time. Her stomach caused her much trouble, too. Everything she would eat hurt her. She v. as so constipated that it was necessary tor her to use laxatives nearly all of the lime.” “We had been reading in the Terre Haute papers of the beneficial results of Trutona, so my wife decided to try it. She's taken only one bottle oi Trutona. so my wife decided to try it. She's taken only one bottle of Trutona, hut she intormed me today that she feels a 100 per cent, better already. Mrs. Hodgers declares her appetite is better than its been for years and she doesn’t complain of her stomach hurting her anymore. Her bowels are acting regular and she has dispensed with the laxatives." "I've noticed that my wife acts and looks like her real self again, since she's taken Trutona. And because of the wonderful results she has gained in such short time, I want to recommend Trutona as a remarkable tonic and system builder.” Trutona is unsurpassed as a reconstructive agency, system purifier and body invigorant. it is a medicine of unusual merit without a doubt and it is peerless as a treatment lor stomach, liver and bowel troubles. Trutona is now • being introduced and explained In Decatur at Smith. Yager A Falk's-
