In the selection of Mr. Ditrichstein, and having him appear in his most universal success—universal W in its appeal to all amusement lovers—the ‘Committee’ t weighed the choice carefully and decided by the number of theatres managers' votes that “The Purple Mask” was the most popular play wherever g| it had been presented.

RECIPE TO CLEAR A PIMPLY SKIN Pimpks Arc Impurities Seeking an Outlet Through Skin Pores Pimples, Soros and boils usually re'nit from toxins, poisons and Impuri- ■ ties which are generated in the bowels 'and then absorbed into the blood (through the very ducts which should i übsob only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the- kidneys to filter imparities out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and irn purities than the kidneys can eliminate; then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities, which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples The surest way to dear the skin of thes ( > eruptions, says a noted author ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of .lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water each morning before breakfast lor one week. This will help prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys. thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities amt clearing the skin of pimples.

Russell Miller of Portland gave violin lessons here Thursday afternoon. David Cross made a business trip to New Corydon Friday morning to look after his service station, which was slightly damaged by the fire there Thursday night. The high waters are making it very l unpleasant for the people to get in or cut of Geneva in almost every direction. The water on the road south of I town is hub deep in many places, making it practically impossible to drive an automobile over it. It is reported that the state road north of Geneva is not yet under water, but it is thought it probably will bo by morning. Harry Hieby was a business caller in Geneva Thursday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Burris arrived in this city the latter part of the week and will spend some lime visiting with his parents. Mr. and Mis. Perry Burris. Mrs. A. J. Monroe returned to her home at Bluffton after spending some time here helping care for her mother, Mrs. John Juday, who has been quite ill with the flu and pneumonia.

MONROE NEWS Clnrence Mitchell, son of Mr. nod Mis. Wui. Mitchell, Living just east oi town, ou Wednesday night about eleven o'clock was taken suddenly 111 with an attack of appendicitis. He was at once taken to the Magley hospital in Deeatur where he underwentan operation. Reports from the bedide stated Friday morning that he was getting along ns well as could be expected. I U ('. Mills, our dairyman, informs us that many of his patrons are wry slow In returning the empty bottles, and thus puts him to a great disadvantage in having enough bottles to fill for the trade, he also states that many milk bottles are, broken and that be should be reimbursed for those broken, so that he cun purchase new ones lu their place. The cost of a' bottle is in the neigborhood of 7 cents, and is quite an item for Mi. Mills to keep up. The milk is delivered at the various stores here, and It should be the duty of the merchants selling the product to see that the bottles are promptly returned each day and if any broken, be paid for. Our people are fortunate in receiving this commodity at the hands of Mr. Mills, and should be prompt In showing their appreciation for the favors extended at such a nominal price which the milk is sold for. The downpour of rain Thursday afternoon and night is said to have been the heaviest in this community since 1913, during the freshet. The south and west, part of town are inundated, the creeks being unable to carry off the water. Many of our old citizens state that it was the heaviest rain fall they have witnessed here for many years. Now that the revivals of our local churches have closed, the basketball season has come to an end, and everything has assumed its normal condi . lions, the stores have thrown open its doors every evening, thus inviting the farmers in this community to come to town. Our merchants seem to be doing a very handsome business and everything indicates an air of prosperity in the coming of spring. Our version of the "flu” on March 3, the writer received his first attack of the “flu" and for the past two weeks has been very "pleasantly and agreeably?" entertained with the pest. On that date cold chills crept up and down ’ his backbone, followed by hot flashes, (tains in the head —called headache — sessions of violent sneezing and coughing— pains in the knee and elbow joints, feeling at times as thoagh they would unlbnber ami break in two —no appetite. We at once began taking "dope,” such as cold tablets, pills, salts, and cough syrups, and at this time, though symtoms are for the better, yet we are in a weakened condition and could not run a foot race at this time. “Flu” is h —l which no doubt Is the sentiment of the scores of our friends in this vicinity who are undergoing the same process at this time from the after affects. On last Friday night about 9 o’clock, our citizens were startled by a violent shock resembling that of a bomb, apparently some place in the north part of town, which rattled windows and doors throughout the entire town and community, and was also plainly heard at Craigvllle, several miles west of here. It is said that several panes of glass were broken. The affair is shrouded in mystery, as no one seems to know where the explosion occurred or the cause of the same. And now comes W. L. Keller with a big worm story which he can substantiate by an eye witness. During the snow storm of last week he discovered a six inch fish worm crawling in the snow on his premises. He called Mr. R. L. Shirk, who was then passing by. to view the strange event as a witness. Mr. Shirk declared that the vermin would probably have a cold belly before he found a bare spot of earth. This however, is unheard of, seeing a fish worm creeping OUCH!BACKACHE! RUB LUMBAGO OR PAIN FROM BACK Ah! Pain is gone! St. Jacobs Oil acts almost like magic. Quickly?—Yes. Almost instant relief from soreness, stiffness, lameness and pain follows a gentle rubbing with St. Jacobs Oil. Rub this soothing, penetrating oil right on your painful back, and relief comes.

jjrA aanervauß IMENTHOLATUM I iLquickly soothes In the snow, and Mr. Keller states that he doos not know whether this is a forebadlng of an early spring or not. Mr. Ollie Heller, the town blacksmith, is tussling with a case of the flu. On Friday night of last week between 25 and 30 of tho relatives, friends and neighbors of Mr. Henry Haggard, gathered at his home to remind that he bad reached the Cist milestone of his life’s journey, and to help him celebrate tho occasion. This ■ was a surprise on Henry, as he was ignorant of what was going on. Mrs. Daniel Noffsitger who was a guest, divulged the secret that she would reach 52nd milestone of journey on Saturday (St. Patrick's Day) and in consequence the jollification was made a double affair. It is needless to say that there were good things to eat
