great help in carrying a child, as I have noticed a difference when I didn’t take it. 1 thank you for this medicine and if I ever come to this point again I do not want to be without the Vegetable Compound. I give you permission to publish this letter so that all women can take my advice.’’-Mrs. Fred Miner, Box 102, Churubusco, N. Y. It’s the same story over again. Women suffer from ailments for years. They try doctors and different medicines, but feel no better. Finally they take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and you can see its value in the case of Mrs. Miner.

That’s the truth of the matter. If you are suffering from any of the troubles women have, you ought to try this medicine. It can be taken in safety by young or old, as it contains no harmful drugs.

HUNTINGTON IN FIGHT OVER SUNDAY SHOWS Huntington is In the throes of a bitter light over the Sunday movie business. Movies are showing in that city cm Sunday at the present time and the town is divided on the question. The two newspapers take opposite sides, as they always do in Huntingtop, and the Herald, edited by Walter Ball is against the Sunday shows. The Press, owned by Homer Ormsby, formerly of Bluffton, is for the Sunday shows, so the article from the Press regarding the speeches of Rev. Smith and Mayor Thompson may be said to have at least a tinge of “politics" about it. The “resentment" referred to may have originated in the Press office, who knows. Anyway, here's the article in the Press:

> Huntington, Ind., Feb. 28.—At a i mass meeting held in the Methodist [ church Sunday SSOO was subscribed as , a fund with which to tight motion : pictures in Huntington. Committees were appointed and an organization called the Huntington Law and Order ■ league formed. The Rev. Charles H. Smith, of i Bluffton, addressed the mass meeting prior to the raising of the funds, and [ flayed those who attended Sunday , pictures. ; Tells Who Favors Movies. "Who's on the side of the law violators?” asked Rev. Smitji. “About |' the same as were on the side of the ' saloon. “Every prostitute, because it gives, her a chance to lure the young men who come from the surrounding territory. Every gambler, because the looser the laws in the city the easier it is for him. Every man who is violating the law. And then that section of the people who probably don’t favor the shows so much bu l they don't say much. They want to wobble. Added to the rabble, the deadbeats. the men of no reputation." Denies Prostitute Charge. “If the church seeks to bring into membership those who are not church members the uncharitable remarks of I Rev. Smith will not aid the cause,” said one prominent man yesterday. “The truth is there are a large number of people who favor Sunday pictures, but at the same time are supporters of the church and are against Aho bad in the community. To charge I that such people are prostitutes, dead beats, and gamblers will naturally be | resented by every fair-minded and fair-thinking citizen.” The officers of the Law and Order league are : Chairman. J. M. Triggs; vice-chairman. O. W. Whitelock. sec ret ary, F. A. Loew; treasurer, F. H. Speaker. The central committee arc: Eben Lesli. O. W. Whitelock, George Paul, Charles L. Raymond, F. A. ' Loew. ,1. B. Bailey, Fred Houck, F. I H. Speaker, Henry L. Huddleston, 1 Albert Ertzinger and Walter H. Ball, i Rev. Smith in his remarks indicated ■ tha the was opposed to the picture shows, regardless of whether they were open on Sunday or not. He said 1 that he had on occasions attended picture shows, and that when he did ■ io he was ashamed of the act and was fearful that decent people would . see him coming from the show.” —Bluffton Banner

VERDICT IN CONSPIRACY CASE We, the jury, find the defendant, not guilty. —Seth Snider, Foreman. The above verdict was read in circuit court shortly after ten o’clock this forenoon, and had the effect of discharging Art Godfrey from custody and freeing him of the charge of conspiracy to commit blackmail. Foreman Snider reported that the jury took fifteen ballots, and that on the first ballot they stood 7 for acquittal and 5 for conviction. On the second ballot they stood evenly divided. six for ecquittal and six for conviction. This was the strongest ballot in favor of conviction at any time. Thereafter, on succeeding ballots, the jurors gradually came over to the verdict of acquittal. Judge John Moran, special judge in the case, waited until 9 o'clock Tuesday night for a verdict, and then calling attorneys representing both sides, and had the jury called from the jury room, and instructed them that in the event they arrived at a verdict before 9 o'clock this morning they should seal it in an envelope and place it in the posession of their foreman and that they might seperate until 9 o’clock this morning when all should report in open court with their ver> diet. Judge Moran Iqftifqr, hqme .M tert b'clpck, and at 8 o'clock tikis morning called by phprte and learnedjthat there was a verdict and he arrived about ten. o'clock to receive.it. " Few cases have been tried in the Weils circuit court which have aroused as much interest as has the trial of the conspiracy case, and the court room was crowded during most of the trial. —Bluffton News.

The Truth About the “Flu” How to Ward Off and Prevent Infection “Flu" History. The 1918 epidemic of influenza showed that the disease was one easily contracted, it is limited to-tin-man beings; is is due to micro-organ-isms yet to be identified. Mental con dillon will not cause the disease—so don't worry. Disease Transmitted. The causative agent of the disease is given off from the nose and mouth of infected persons, and gains entrance through the nose and mouth of person who contract the disease--there is no other way in which the disease is transmitted. Cold and "Flu” Germs. Cold. "Flu” and Pneumonia Ocrms multiply by the millions and arc liable to overpower your physical resistance.

It is of vast importance to clean out the entire intestinal tract, upper and lower bowels. Keep the kidneys well flnshed. and freshen and strengthen the blood. Experience Has Taught. The experience of the 1918 epideinlc showed that one of the best and simplest treatment in many in stances was to stimulate the entire blood circulation by taking a steaming hot cupfnl Os Bulgarian Blood Tea with the juice of half a lemon. This stimulating hot medicinal Tea is pleasant to take and starts the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys throwing out the body poisons, thus increasing the physical resistance to overpower the, dreaded germs.
