INDIANAPOLIS HAS SUICIDE EPIDEMIC Eleven Persons Take Own Lives In Capital Since January 1 Indianapolis, Ind.. Jan. 25. — (INS) —An alarming suicide epidemic has gripped the Hoosier capital city. | Since January first eleven persons | have taken their lives in Indianapolis, i There were twice as many suicide attempts. i This means "that local residents are killing themselves three times as fast as dtnJjlg 1927 when the suicide rate was about one a week. Seven men and four women have ! suicided thus far this month in this city. Coroner C. H. Keever’s records showed the following means of self(l struction were employed: | Five men by shooting and two men . hy poison. Two women by poison, one by <l.owning and one by hanging. | “The 192 S pace of living is causing t ie increasing number of suicides," Coroner Keever said. I The coroner said his probes, of the IJ2S suicides showed that the follow- . i ig causes were responsible for the suicide epidemic: 1 I—Domestic troubles. 2 Financial ttoiildes. .1 lil health. “I do not believe that this suicide epidemic is strictly local,” Coroner ' Keever said. “I believe it's national. The modern environment and atmosphere with tlie consequent breakdown it the old fashioned home life, lack ‘ cf religion and the jazz madness have tII contributed to the suicide com--1 )-!ex.” Men prefer to cli'ininate themselves from this world by tlie gun route while women take poison or drown themselves Keever said. "As a general thing women do not I now how to use gun , and that accounts for tlie fact that few women ! shoot and kill themselves,” tlie coroner explained. Coroner Keever said that most suicide cases which he has investigated tais year were those of persens who belonged to no church. — o Two of Earliest Boohs What is believed to be tlie tirst hook printed In Englaml is William Caston’s Tlecuyell ot the llistorye of Troye. published In 1474, a translation ot ftaoul de Fevre's work However, faxton's “Dictes nnd Notable Wise Say ings of the I’hilosopliers,' printed No veinber 18. 1477, is Hie first hook Hint can with certainly lie innlntnlned to have been printed In Englund. 0 Work That Impresses Huinnnil.v is rntlier Insignificant, hut its works are tilled with a strange nuiiesty We should not have been impressed by tlie neolithic men who ■built Stonehenge, but we stund in awe before Stonehenge Itself. — Youth's Companion. 0 Weasel Supplies Fur Pahmi fur comes from niiinials ot the weasel family.

EX-MONROE MAN PREACHES SCHNEIDER GIRL’S FUNERAL (CONTINUED FHOM PAGE ONE) for they carried tlie hearers deep into . tlie mysteries of life. Appropriate for All Scenes "Christ has tlie words appropriate lor all tin' changing scenes of life. They are not empty words, but words of < ontent, words filled with a life and experience, words spoken from the lips of a Man who knew suffering and sorrow. He sorrowed and wept over the tomb of Lazarus. If then, back of every word of Jesus there is life, is it not helpful to have Him speak to us today? "To what words does the text re-, fer? It is to all the words of Jesus, j To the weary, depre.--.sed laboring | ■nan He said: ‘Come unto me all ye that labor and I will give you rest.’ To the men enslaved in sin He said: Go and sin no more.’ Was it not comforting to the sufferer when He said: ‘Arise, take up thy bed and walk.’ Os the blind to whom He pake, it is said: Immediately lie reeived his sight. "Too. those in sorr vv shared in 'lis tlioughts. He said: 'Let not ■ ’our heart lie troubled, neither iet it 1 le afraid. Believe in God. believe 1 iso in Me.’. It is not strange that ’eter said: ’To whom shall vve go? rhou hast the words ot eternal life.’ "Since He has the words of eterla! life and the words of comfort et us cast our burden upon Him and le will sustain us. Too often we try o hear our own s.arniwi. We ourselves are overwhelmed.” All Things Work Together "It is often hard to see how any food can come from such a tragedy is this. But we must remember hat it has been said that all things vork together for tlie good of those yho love the Lord. Some of our ireatest hymns have been written by persons who have lost their sight, 'r have experienced some such sor•ovv. "When we see a great ugly rock mi tlie landscape we winder why it ras been put there, what good it can ver do. But when we see it in a inished structure we see that it was ifter ail needed. "At such a time as this our sor"ow is; more than we can bear. At uch a time I always think of that old hymn, ‘What a privilege to ■any, every tiling to God in prayer.’ \t such a time tin- comfort of all j lends fail. So it is only possible to mil faith in Cliri;', He alone can lustaiii you.” DRINK WATER TO HELP WASH OUT KIDNEY POISON If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You.

Try this; also keep up tile water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache-
