Maybe, if the Fort Wayne coach had heard the Huntington score a day or two sooner he would have had the nerve to Mil his engagement. Nobody loves a "boob.'’ Mr. Beveridge is expected to officially announce his candidacy for the republican nomination for senator tn few days—and then cotnes the fineworks.. Phylis Hewitt, sixteen, of Corunna. Indiana, has awakened after a four days' sleep, apparently greatly refreshed. No cause has been discovered. A lot of fellows worried with business problems these days would like to catch the disease. If this man Strum is such a wonderful coach how do you figure that with all the material at hand, in such a city as Fort Wayne, he doesn’t produce a bunch of athletes who can win occasionally without having to have any certain referee.. Don’t suppose he is by chance a four-flusher, do you? Hoys, don’t forget the annual meeting of the Decatur Industrial club Monday night. Election of officers, discussion of plans for the year, annual reports and other matters of interest. Come up and help put’ thfif community over. It ought to be everyone’s business to help make an organization go to build the city and county and help the laborer, farmer, business man and manufacturer. Hoover, the great business man selected because he could just straighten out everything and who so far has failed to bring any relief to the public, now sides in with the railroads and says the freight rates cannot be reduced. No, but wages can and will be, and the millionaires with whom Hoover is now co-operating, will pile up the greatest profits ever stacked in a single year while business goes wagging on with a flat tire. It’s Yidiculous and about the last straw to burden a gasping public.

A lot of railroad men who are getting about sixty per cent wages as compared to two years ago would like to know Just why it is costing thirtytwo per cent more to operate the roads now than then. That makes nearly a hundred per cent difference and the average fellow can't know just where to charge It. Something evidently wrong somewhere, and something serious. Congress will heap more taxes on a heavily-laden public rather than use the foreign debt paper. They propose to go through with Mellon's suggestions, add a cent to each postage stamp, increase second-class mail rates and put the rest on chewing gum and tobacco. The boys want a bonus, but they don’t want to burden the coutry with unpopular taxes and the lawmakers know it. Another film "busted’’—the jury in the “Fatty” Arbuckle case disagrees and the star can’t go back on the job until acquitted. "Fatty” has no dobut wished a good many times he hadn t arranged that little party. The jury in his second trial stood ten to two for conviction. While this court procedure continues the old boy is getting enough punishment to please his worst enemies, we surmise. The democrats of Indiana will gather at Indianapolis on the 16th of this month for the annual meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association. The meetings will be held at the Claypool hotel and the principal speaker will be the Hon. Cordell Hull, chairman of the democratic national committee. Other speakers will include Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, Mrs. Bessie Lauenstein and Claude G. Bowers. You are invited to attend, with the assurance that you will enjoy the occasion. We eat too much, we sleep too irregularly. we don't take proper care of ourselves. We all know it and yet we go right on, day after day, violating the laws of nature and wonder why we don’t have better health. Some four hundred years ago there lived in Venice a man named Louis Cornaro. When he was forty years old. they told him he could not live more than a few weeks. He took charge of his own case then, ate carefully and limited himself to thirteen ounces a day, took plenty of outdoor exercises as soon as he was able, followed the rules of nature and lived in health and happiness over a hundred years. Scientists and great doctors claim we could do the same now if we would follow Conaro s example, but we won’t. At least few have done it during the more than four centuries. HEALING BY SUPERSTITION in China the art of healing is still based on faith and superstition. To the Chinaman evil spirits play a gre; t part in all illnesses. The earth is supposed to be full of evil spirits whenever they see an opportunity. Should a child be ill, it is believed that the soul has left the body. It must bo called back before the child can recover. Calling for the return of the soul is a custom prevalent in all parts of China. It is also the custom to pray for holy medicine. A patient must pay a visit to the temple and take from the altar a tube containing numbered sticks. He passes the tube over the incense several times until one stick falls out. This is picked up and the number on it is read. A corresponding slip containing a prescription is then handed to him. As a treatment for apoplexy, serpent’s liver is surely unique, but this is prescribed by the Chinese doctors. Pigs’ feet and deer's tendons are prescribed for weak legs, and fishes’ heads for headache and giddiness. Human flesh is supposed to be efficacious in the case of certain illnesses, and young people will have pieces of flesh removed to make medicine for a sick father. WANT ADS uAßN—s—s—s HAD THAT TIRED, WORN-OUT FEELING Do you know that “awful tired feeling,” languidness, lame or weak back, sore muscles, stiff or swollen joints, or rheumatic pains usually indicate kidney trouble? Foley Kidney Pills act promptly and effectively. Mrs. Robert Lilly, 709 Alton St., Alton, 111., writes: "For three years 1 had a tired, wornout feeling. Various treatments failed. 1 began io iiuprote on the second dose of Foley Kidney Pills and today 1 feel like new. Sold everywhere.

PAINS SO BAD WOULD GO TO BED Two Women Tell How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Stopped Their Suffering Iron Mountain, Mich.-“I had terrible pains every month and at times had iniiiTiiiiiiiiiiTl to ff° to bed on acillllUlllllllillll count of them. I saw >'" ur mivertist-ment. and took 1 vdia E'jMy aM I’mkiuini's Vegeta fagSr ble Compound w.th vfl- y K"°d results. 1 ■ ‘‘W car. work all day long ■ W| now at my sick time. ■ Hi You may use these lilt Hill facts as a testimonial Al W-tW* and lamrecommending the Vegetable Compound to my friends. ’’—Mrs. A. H. GARLAND, 218 E. Brown St.. Iron Mountain, Michigan. Xenia, Ohio. -“Every month I had such pains in my back and lower part of my abdomen that I could not lie quietly in bed. I suffered for about five years that way and I was not regular either. I read an advertisement of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had done for other women, so I decided to try it. It surely has helped me a lot, as I have no pains now and am regular and feeling fine. Mrs. Mary Dale, Route 7, Xenia, Ohio. ~ _ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a medicine for women’s ailments. It isespecially adapted to relieve women. If you suffer as did Mrs. Garland or Mrs. Dale, you should give thia well-known medicine a thorough trial.

IF KIDNEYS IND BLADDER BOTHER Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out Your Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids Kidneys and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the caid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. FRANK TINNEY IN “TICKLE ME” Frank Tinney in the sensational “Tickle Me,” presented by Arthur Kammerstein, with a solid phalanx of Broadway favorites, is coming to the Majestic theater, Fort Wayne, Saturday and Sunday nights. It is the absolute, original production, with seventyfive players. Mr. Tinney seems to have one great advantage over his fellow clowns in musical comedy. He is able to take the most forlorn- examples of stage humor and, by this manner of presenting them, cause you to laugh till you wilt. In “Tickle Me" his humdr is mischievous, intimate, and. als always, irrepressible, with an air of improvisation as if it had no routin and funny clothing. And let it be said right here, advance reports from the Broadway critics have it that “Tickle Me” is as good-looking, mannerly, and amusing a musical comedy as you may expect this season. The girls are all beauties; and Mr. Kammerstein, of course; has seen to it that their dress is wanton and lovely. The music, by Herbert Stothart rises well above the average score; the cast is superior to a degree; andvbgk vbg b by Messrs. Harbach, Mandel and Kammerstein, offers new characters and a good tangible story. Mrs. .1. S. Peterson was in Fort Wayne today asWi guest of Miss Clara Williams, attending The College Club guest day social meeting in the Wolf & Dessaucr auditorium. A delightful home talent play was given for thii occasion, by the dramatic department. - NEVER WANTS ANYTHING ELSE “I .tried many different kinds of cough medicine," writes. Mrs. : ,E, K. Olson, 1917 Ohio aveque, Superior, Wis., “but 1 never want anything else than Foley’s Honey and Tar. I used it for all my children and also for my grandchild.. It lias always done line work." Foley's is a pure, wholesome and absolutely safe remedy for the relief of colds, coughs, erout) and iug cough. Children like it and it checks sneezing and snuffling. Sold Everywhere.

JAY COUNTY ASSESSOR TO USE OWN JUDGMENT When asked concerning the appraisement of real estate, farms and personal property, which will start on March 1, whether or not the appraisements would be made according to the ruling of the state tax board, which says that the same appraisement as used three years ago when property was exceedingly high, shall be used this year, County Assessor John Arbaugh, of Jav county, said this morning that he intended to make the appraisement in Jay county i according to his own judgment and that the township assessors and depu-l ties will not be instructed to follow the state board's advice, that of mak-l ing the real estate assessments at the same value as they were three years ago.
