The National Advertiser tells a story of an old bachelor who bought a pair of socks, and found attached to one of them a slip of paper with these words: “I am a young lady of twenty and would like to correspond with a bachelor, with a view to matrimony.” Name and address were given. The bachelor wrote, and in a few days got this letter: ‘'Mamma was married twenty years ago. The merchant you bought those socks from evidently did not advertise, or he would have sold them long ago. Mamma handed me your i letter and said I might suit you. I i am eighteen years old.” Dangers of the grip. The greatest 1 danger from lagrippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable , care is used, however, and Chamberi lain’s Cough Remedy taken, all dan- > ger will be avoided. Among the tens , of thousands who have used this re- > medy for lagrippe we have yet to . learn of a single case having resulted > in pneumonia which showsconclusivei ly that this remedy is a certain pref ventive of that dangerous disease. It ■ will cure lagrippe in less time than , any other treatment. It is pleasant ■ and safe to take. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. f

Dr. Younge will be here Monday. Through the kindness of E. X. Ehinger, cashier of the Decatur National Bank, we have been presented with a handsome little pamphlet, entitled,' “Lands Across the Sea." The book is published by the North German Lloyd steamship company and is one of the finest things of the kind that has ever reached this office. It contains thirty-two pages of handsome illustrations and describes in a beautiful manner a trip over the Lloyd linesjto foreign countries. The story is written by Frank Presbrey and was first published in the January number of Harper’s Magazine. The undertaking firm of Auten & Gay have added a very praiseworthy and useful invention to their business, known as the Safety Casket Lowering Device. By it the pall bearers are relieved of lowering a coffin into the grave. This very prominent and well invented device is so constructed that hereafter this feature of a funeral service will be very impressive to say the least. It consists of a wooden frame work covering the borders of a grave and the coffin is lowered by means of two cable wired cords, with a standard test of 800 pounds each, and are so constructed that when the casket reaches the bottom of the grave the cords disconnect themselves. It will be quite a revelation from the painful scenes that frequently occur, and Auten & Gay are to be congratulated in introducing it at this place. By Order State Board of Health. Small-pox is spreading throughout the world to an extent not equaled since 1893. There are hundreds of cases in the surrounding states, the disease now exists in eight counties jin Indiana, and there are many cen- ; ters of infection. There are also, very ! probably, many concealed and uni recognized cases. No county can reasonably expect to remain free from this loathsome disease as vaccination, our only sure protection, has been sadly neglected for a decade or more. The state board therefore recommends vaccination and revaccination. Health officers shall publish this recommendation to the people and add their own advice to the the same effect. I Glycerinated lymph only should be ■ used for vaccinating and the operaI tion done in an aseptic manner. No I untoward residts will follow if this course is taken. If small-pox appears, isolation, quarantine and vaccination of the afflicted and exposed shall immediately follow. Guards shall be employed to maintain quarantine, and outside of cities and incorporated towns, township trustees shall furnish needed supplies. Domiciliary quarantine should not be depended upon in cities and towns. By order of the State Board of Health. Dr. H. Jameson, President. Dr. J. N. Hurty, Secretary. Dr. H. F. Costello, Secretary Adams County Board of Health.
