■[MARKABLE EXPERIMENTS I AND STUDIES ON THE STOMACH. ■ How To Eat I’roperly. ■ BY DR. VALENTINE.

■ Sot lone neo Horace Fletcher published a book called ''The A, B. Z. of Our ■Own Nutrition.” in which he advocated. ■"Do right the feeding of your body; ■Nature will do all the rest for you ■arisht.” After a dozen years of uninter■niptwl experiments upon himself and ■num dogs, eats and other animals, Mr. ■ Horace Fb-teher concludes that the aver- ■ irehuniaii being eats three times as much ■is is i?ood for him; that by eating onlv ■ one-third as much and masticating it ■ even more thoroughly than by Glad- ■ stono's famous thirty-two bites of each ■nonthful. a person is assured of unfailing ■ health, strength, contentment and lon- ■ gevity. Ina word, he will have annihil- ■ atwithe chief cause of all disease—iudi■gestion. Mr. Fletcher conducted experiIMts at Yale and Cambridge Universities, and made tests under the auspices ■of the United States Army. As a result its his experiments he advocates that people should ignore false appetite and wait for a return of normal appetite, which is indicated by a desire for some particular simple food, accompanied by »watering of the mouth —all of which is good advice, but a great many Americans, both mon and women, are thin, pale and puny. with poor circulation, because they have already ill-treated their stomachs by hasty eating or too much eating, bycons iming alcoholic beverages, or by too close confinement to home, office or factory, and in consequence the stomach Bast be treated in a natural way before W can rectify their earlier mistakes. The muscles in many such people, in every weary, thin and thin-blooded per*on,do their work with great difficulty. As a re-mlt fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts long. The demand for nutritive aid is ahead of the supply. To insure perfect health every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon or muscle should take ■rout the blood certain materials and return to it certain others. It is neces--Barlto prepare the stomach for the work W taking up from the food what is necessary to make good, rich, red blood, us must go to Nature for the remedy, which shall be simple but effective, there were certain roots known ta> the indiaus of this country before the advent ?' the whites which later came to the Knowledge of the settlers and which are now growing rapidly in professional for the cure of obstinate stomach nnd liver troubles. These are found to on safe and yet certain in th«ir cleansing ana invigorating effect upon the stomach ’nd blood. These are: Golden Seal root, xl'cnn’s root. Stone root. Blood root, ■Undrake root.

and is competent and capable of managing such a business. The many friends of the firm predict c-eat success for them. Geneva, lad., March I.—John McCurdy, 56, of Markleville, Indiana, who has been very sick from pneumonia at the home of his sister, Mrs. George Coopar, in this city, died Wednesday morning. Mr. McCurdy camo here about four weeks ago to visit and had been here only a short time when he was taken ill. No one thought that his illness was of a serious nature until Sunday wnen his condition took a sudden change for the worse, death resulting yester day. Some time ago the decaesed was a resident of this place, he having been interested in the Cooper restaurant. For several years past however he has been making his home with his mother in Markleville and the remains will be taken there Thursday morning for interment. Messers. Charles Bell and Fred Grumme of this place, are making arrangements to open an oil well supply store in Portland and already have their plans well under way. Mr. Grumme has also pur chased a foundry and machine shop there and expects, after having the place overhauled and repaired, to run an up-to-date shop. Fred will make his headquarters in Portland, but he and Mr. Bell will still have their business at this place and Mr. Bell will look after things at this end. Geneva, Ind., March 7. —Chris Meyrs, the new tailor, who has taken the Adam Buettle stand, brought his goods down from De catur yesterday and is now ready for buisness. Mr. Meyers is a thoroughly up to-date tailor and has worked at the trade in Decatur for the past ten years, so that he is competent. His brother, Henry, is also Coming here as soon as he can arrange private matters and both men will bring their families. The doors are looked! Dr. Line will deliver his famous lecture, “Pike s Peak or Bust,” at the Methodist church this evening. ' and the indications are that he will

tal effect which alcohol would give. So Dr. Pierce put up what he called Dr. I Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, one of the principal ingredients. Golden Seal root, suggesting the name. This prepara- ' tion is of pleasant taste, agrees perfectly with rebellious and sensitive stomachs, and has sold more largely in the past third of a centurv than any other medicine put up for like purposes. The test of the merit of a compound is Its lasting i qualities. Medicines that depend upon I the alcohol contained in them for their I popularity have never remained long in favor. . «. Dr Roberts Bartholow, Professor in Jefferson Medical College of PhiladelI phia. a recogn’zed authority on Jhitcrfca Sbdi'zq and Therapeutics, says of Hy- ' drastis (Golden Seal rooti: "Very useful as a stomachic tonic (stomach tonic) | and in atonic dyspepsia. Cures gastric j catarrh (catarrh of stomach) and headI aches accompanying same. ConstipaI tion dependent upon different deficient | secretions, with hard and dry stools, may be overcome by the remedy. Chronic ! catarrh of the intestines, even if it has proceeded to ulceration, is remarkably benefited by Hydrastis. It may be given as a remedv for intermittent, chronic and malarial poisoning, and pnlar£p<i spleen of malarial origin. It diminishes mucous in catarrh of the bladder.” From "Organic Medicines," by Grover Coe. M. D., of New' York, we extract the following: "Hydrastis (Golden Seal root) exercises an especial influence over mucous surfaces. I pon the liver it acts , witii equal certainty and efficacy. As a cholagogue (liver invigorator). it has few ■ equals. In affections of the spleen, and , abdominal viscera generally, it is an efficient and reliable remedy.

he greeted by a large audience, as the ticket sales have been very good. Dr. Line is one of the most pleasing and entertaining men of today’s lecture paltform and the Epworth League is to be congratulated on their success in securing him. Oh, my, no! The building is still there! Sime more gooa news for the music lovers of Geneva and vioin ity. The stewards of the Methodist church have contracted for a concert company to give an entertain ment here March 27, and while a I complete announcement can not be made at this writing, it may be said that a glance at one of their programs is enough to guarantee a splendid concert. The company consists of a soprano, a violinist, a pianist and a reader. There was a town called Geneva, That was jarred by a sort of tor pedu; And now its supposed Th’ jar closed hotel doors, An’ the people cried, “Shamrock, we need yu!" St. Petersburg, March 6.—The American syndicate, which had. through Witte, been granted railroad concessions, have baon notified by order of the czar that the concessions have been withdrawn. R ockefeller was at the head of the syndicate. Madrid, March 7.—Princess Ena, bride-elect of King Alfonso, forsook Angelican faith for the Catholic today Alfonso's mother acted as god mother. Those interested in the formation of the Civic Improvement society are requested to remember the time and place of meeting, Commercial club, this, Thursday evening, at half past seven o'clock. Judging from the interest manifested, this will be a largely attended and spir ited meeting, and that civic improvement will ba initiated in Decatur with triumph. Mrs. Nancy C. Cramer, aged twenty three years, died yesterday at her home, east of this < ity, at 7 o'clock,!after an illness last ing several weeks, death being caused by scarlet fever. The funeral will be held tomorrow after noon at the house in private, which is in strict compliance with the law where death results from a contagious disease, and interment will be made in Maplewood cemetery. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn their loss. Mrs. Martin Shady died yesterday morning at her home, eight miles west of this c\ty, at 12 :30 o’clock, after an illness of several years from tuberculosis, which Anally caused her death. She was twenty three years of age and just in the prime of life. She was acquainted with her condition some time ago, and a few days before her death made a;l of her funeral arrangements which, whoever, were not obtainable at the time we go to press, but which will be announced tomorrow. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn their loss. The palatial home of ,Banker and Mrs. C. A. Dugans was the sesne of a most delightful event Tuesday night, when'the Whist club held one of their enjoyable sessions. Mr. [and Mrs. Dugan, al ways clever as host and hostess, were at[their best and the hours flew byrapidly. High spores were made by[Miss Bessie Schrock and Mr. J. H. Heller. Five[ tables were used with three rubbers at each. The visitors were Misses Dunathan. Congleton, Bess and Agnes Schrock. Craig and Messers. Ward, \\ aring and Schrock. The lunch was delicious and daintily served. Whether Hhrry Christen, who recently disposed of his interest in the Blackburn * Christen drug store, is married or not, is a ques tion that is greatly agitating his many friends, and he is today re oeiving congratulations trom all sides, but still persists in denying the allegation. Nevertheless, a large number of his friends gathered at his home on West Monroe attest and gave him an old fashioned belling that lasted until four o’clock this morning. Just to ap pease the boys Harry said he pass ed the cigars and thanked them for the interest they had taken in him. ! but denies all knowledge of the i marriage. However, time will tell 'and murder will out.

Five weeks in San Francisco, four weeks in Los Angeles, three weeks in Oakland, Ave weeks in Portland, Oregon, four wee’—. in Seattle. The papers say, “nothing like him ever seen here,” And they have had all the good ones: Keller, Albino, Thurston, etc. Mr. LaDalle is home for a short visits and I think I can secure him for a children’s matinee and one night’s entertainment.

Mrs. D. B. Reokhard, aged sixtynine years, and one of the best known women of the city, died yesteiday at her home on South Fifth street at 1 o'clock, death resulting from paralysis of the brain. She was the wife of Rev. Reokard, who for years has been preaching the gospel, and who recently moved to this city to live a retired life, owing to his health and that of his wife. For years Mrs. Reokard had been afflicted with paralysis and had been an invalid, being in all respects helpless. She was born in the state of Pennsylvania, where she resided with her parents until the age of eighteen, when they moved to South Whitley, this state, where she was married to Rev. Reokard forty-four years ago. Their married life was a happy one, and during Rev. Reckard’s career as a mnister she rendered him valuable assistance.

Death oame just as a birthday dawned upon her, she being sixty nine years old tiday. The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Baptist church, of which she was a member. Rev. Cullis will conduct the services, assisted by Rev. John C. White, and interment will be m ade in Maplewood cemetery. She leaves a husband, two brothers and one sister to mourn their loss.

Winchester, Ind., March 7.—Michael Burke, charged with being implicated in the Ridgeville bank robbery, was found guilty today and sentenced to fourteen years in prison, Burke is well known to the police of the country as ‘Fingers. ” The case went to the jnry last evening and they were out all night, returning this morning. We call your attention to the advertisement of the Carter Wire Fence Machine Co. in this paper. This fence is popular in this county. The farmers buy the wire and construct their □On fence, which preves to be the best and cheapest plan of fencing. This company now manufactures the cross wire for the fence at their factory and sell it to the farmers ready bailed. They take special pains to get the wire soft and well galvanized. Those i having the Carter machine should write for prices on bailed wire, 202 Chestnut street, Mt. Sterling, Ohio. A promoter went to St. Louis and I induced the council to give him a street railway fanohise. The inducement consisted of a bribe of 1250,000, distributed among the members of the council. He did not Uy a rail. He did not overate a car. He went straightway to Wall street and sold the franhise for 11.250,000. Now what did Wall street buy ? It bought certain legal privileges in the streets of St. Lome. These privileges were worth a million and a quarter—-probably much more. They belonged to the city ( f St. Louis. They were pubilic property The promoter and the oounoilmen found this public property in the streets of St. Louis, took it, and sold it, and put the money in their own pockets If a bank robbery had been committed in the city and a million and a quarter of the bank’s funds taken, so that the bank had been mined, and many people had lost their savings—that would have been the talk of the nation and those thieves would have been hunted down and sent to the penitentiary, if possible. But when a million and a quarter is stolen from no one in particular, but from everyone in general, we take enough interest to go to the city half to see the thing done, and those who get the plunder usually remain as before, the most respect ed citizens of the town. The city council met Tuesday night in regular session, Mayor Coffee being in the chair, and every coon

oilman being present. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the olerk and upon motion were approved. The street and sewer committee then filed their report ou the Fristoe sidewalk petition which, upon motion by Teeple, was accepted Teeple then moved that the city engineer be instructed to | make grade plans for the same, ; which carried, Porter made a motion that the deposition of Dick Townsend be'taken to use in (he Humphreys case, which carrieed. Upon a motion by Porter the master of the Mersman water rent was referred to the water works oom mitttee for adjustment, and that they report back to the council. Porter then moved that the treas1 urer be instructed to take the same ' number of days in October and i charge at the same rate as to the same number of days in November per day on the D. B. Erwin electric light account; motion carried. Porter moved to [allow the bill of i Fulk, which carried. Fordcye moved that any matters coming under the care of engineer Fulk should be referred to him and in case of his inability to serve, to have some one in his place; carried. Upon motion by Teeple the insur ance policies on the Boilers as submitted by Agent Peterson were accepted. Porter then moved to meet in continued session this evening, when the Colchin stwer matter would be disposed of. The following bills were then read and allowed: John Coffee, pay roll, J 45.84; National bank interest, |225; C. & U railroad company, freight, <18; C.M.Kenyon, printing, 121.40; Lake Shore Softening com pany, supplies, $26,50; Citizens Telephone company, rent, $39.18; Home Fuel company, coal, $72.76; Sunday Creek Coal company, coal, $1,210.13; W.

Bicycle dealers are begining to receive the first shipment of wheels for the season of 1906, and they differ little from last year’s wheels except in the frame. Some of the new designs are what is kown to the bicycle trade has a truss frame. They are made with a diamond frame the same as last year, but have a curved rod bracing the frame on the inside of the frame. This it is claimed admits of smaller tubing being used which gives a greater elasticity, to the wheel when in motion or when passing over rough roads. The coaster brake is used on almost all wheels this year but there is no change in saddle and handle bars. Few wheels are fitted with cushion frames, but they were introduced two years ago and are not very much in favor with bicycle ideas who desire a light, substantial wheel. Tires are the same as last year, except it is claimed they are I made of tough tread rubber, making them less liable to puncture and prolong the life of the tire. Prices remain about the same, a good wheel with all the latest im provements, truss frame, tough tread tires, etc., costing about S4O to $45.

Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott’s Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT EMULSION* I is such a great aid is because I it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly digested before it enters the stomach ; a double advantage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least possible effort is the desire of . everyone in poor health. Scott’s Emulsion does just that.
