A letter today from Mrs. J. H. Stewart, of Dayton, Ohio, tells of an accident in which her son, Max I Stewart, broke his right arm. The lad was climbing over the back fence and fell to the ground. He is getting along nicely, but of course a broken arm is a nuisance for any boy as lively as Max.

In response to the demands of the prosecuting attorney H at he do his part. Mr. Citizen asked just what was expected of Him and how he could respond satisfactorily to the demands. The answer of the prosecutor advised that, he attend the primary elections, attend the various court sessions when the question of bootlegging came up, and stand back >t the officials who did try to enforce Hie laws and give them his undivided s upport.

ment, the prosecuting attorney and the citizen reached an agreement that neither were doing all in their power and both promised to perform their duties In the future in a more satisfactory manner. Tlte debate was splendidly rendered and the audience was almost profound with interest and enthusiasm when the speakers hud completed their program. It was one of the rare treats which this city has offered in many a day and those who were on tiie outside of the chttrch doors last night can well have a deep regret In their hearts that they did not hear the debate Dr. Shumaker is Superintendent of tiie Indiana District of the AntiSaloon League with headquarters at Indianapolis, and Rev. Baldbridge is tiie field secretary of the organization. Rev. Shumaker also spoke at the morning services of the Metho dlst church and to the high school pupils tills morning. - ——— o DR.

Rev. H. XV. Baldridge spoke in a very effective way to . tiie Sunday school and attendance an.l i Interest was splendid. A very notice- - able feature was the fact that practit cally the entire adult audience re- - mained for the address of Rev. (’. F. Rodgers, who is a dynamic speaker cf '. great oratorical ability. He held the 1 audience spell bound as he discussed r the great issue of tile day and the con--3 gregation would have been glat to have 1 e listened foi another hour. Rev.

Neuritis Made Work Very Difficult Also Had Stomach and Kidney Pains. Is Perfectly Well Now. Those who are crippled by rheumatism, or tortured by stomach or kidney trouble, will find good news in the prompt recovery of health made by Mrs. G. O. Lutzenhuser, 621 E. 7th St., Auburn, Ind. She writes: “Three years ago my kidneys began troubling me, I began to have back-ache and was often disturbed at night. My stomach went back on me, food wouldn’t digest, gas formed and pained me intensely, and I was made miserable by constipation, headaches and dizzy spells. But the worst of all was neuritis which crippled my right arm so bad I could hardly work. At night, my feet and lower limbs would swell up and ache, and the neuritis pains were almost worse than tooth-ache. I had just about given up hope of ever being well again, but I made one more effort and started taking Viuna. Soon I noticed I had less neuritis and now, after taking four bottles, the neuritis and the limb swelling have entirely disappeared. My kidneys are fine and never disturb me now, and the back-ache is gone. I can eat good meals and have no gas, stomach pains, headache or constipation. 1 am getting good sleep ami feel just fine in every way. I gladly recommend Viuna, and can’t begin to tell how wonderful it is.” Vluiui arts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver ami weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears tile skin, restores appe tite and digest ion, and brings now strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial.
