ATTEMMPT AT SUICIDE PROVED FATAL TO CHESTER PINGRY OF BRYANT SATURDAY Chester G. Plngry, 56, former town clerk of Bryant and restaurant proprietor at that place, who attempted suicide about 10:30 o'clock Friday morning at his home, about a square east of the business section of that town by staking himself in the larynx of the throat, with a sharp butcher knife, died Saturday morning at two o’clock. Mr. Pingry had been doing plastering work at the home of Ervin Metzner, undertaker at that place, and left for his home Friday morning, where he stabbed himself. His daughter, Marian, who was the only one at the home, had stepped out of doors for a few’ minutes when she heard him fall to the floor and she at once called her mother and sister, who were at the restaurant, and hastened to their home and found him still lying on the floor with the knife in his hand. He then told his wife he had not completed the act and she took the knife from him as he again made an attempt to stab himself. The deceased was born on December 6, 1866. in Jay County, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pingry. He was married on October 10, 1892, to Anna Loyer, who survives with the following children: Zenith Wilson of Robinson, Ill.; Marie Edna, Lelia, Marion, Louis and Hester at home. One brother, Edward Pingry and one sister Selma Conyers of Huntington and his mother also survive.

JOE BRENEN, Pres. <— VAN WERT TO VOTE ON LARGE BOND ISSUE FOR NEW SEWER SYSTEM Van Wert, July 10. —Zowie! $392,000 .00. That’s tho amount specified in a resolution being printed by the city today, calling attention to an bond issue which will be voted upon at the primary, August 8. It’s for the purpose of providing money for a new sewer system and sewage disposal plant which the city has been ordered by tho state board of health to build. People who have investigated the plan, say it will cost a total of a million dollars, counting the interest on bonds and tho sums paid by individual property owners for work done on their own properties in con nection with the system. IT this bond issue should pass and the system constructed, it will moan that the city will have one of the most modern system of any small city in the state. The matter is being thoroughly investigated by the city council and individuals., Many have expressed the opinion that a less’elaborate’system will remove the stench of Town creek and will cost only a small fraction of the plant proposed in the bond issue. Such a scheme was described in the report of the engineers who made the survey of the present system. This provides for a sewer to run parallel with the creek and a filtration bed through which sewage can be run during hot weather. .

O O Jams* P. Humphreys, well-known automobile man of Hebron, Md., who declares he believes Tanlac Is the best thing to overcome stomach trouble and run-down con dltion. States it completely restored his health. O 6 “I believe in giving everying its due and 1 want to say right now I just can't praise Tanlac too highly for what it has done in my case,” declared Janies P. Hubphreys, proprietor of the Hebron Motor Co., Hebron, Md. “For three years or more I suffered from indigestion. After eating 1 would bloat terriby with gas and my heart would palpitate until it interfered with my breathing. I was habitually constipated and my nerves were all upset. My sleep was unsound, I got up morning all tired out, and I was only a shadow of my former self. “Well, Tanias has given me a keen appetite, stomach trouble has disappeared, my nerves have steadied down, and I have gained several pounds. Tanias, to my mind, is the best thing ever sold for stomach trouble and rundown condition.” Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. PROGRESS MADE IN SECURING BETTER BUTTER FOR NAVY For 20 years the United States Department of Agriculture has aided the Navy Department to secure a high quality of tinned butter, the kind best adapted for use on shipboard and in places far from the sources of supply. In recent years all this butter has been made from pasteurized sweet cream, which not only keeps exceptionally well in storage but stands up for long periods under advers climatic conditions. In studying the requirements of butter for this purpose special consideration has been given to the effect of cream acidity on keeping quality of butter, and to manufacturing methods producing firm body and waxy texture, i In the last few years practically all the butter obtained has scored 95 at the time of packing, and scores made 10 months after being held in cold storage have averaged only about 2 points lower. During 1921 seven creameries supplied 800,000 pounds of butter to the Navy; and the cost of supervision by men selected by the department of Agriculture was only about one-third of a cent a pound. Scores made each year, beginning with 1911, show a slight but gradual improvement in quality.
