TUT, BAKERIES MUST BE CLEAN State Factory Inspector Sends out a Warning. ♦ . . Decatur bakers have received notice from D. H, McAbee, state factory inspector, warning them to keep their shops clean. A circular letter is being sent out by him to a.l the bakery proprietors in Indiana calling attention to the fact that the sanitary conditions of their establishments must receive careful atteifion. The circular is as follows: “The law governing the sanitation of bake-shops and food-producing establishments, approved February 28, ■ ‘ has been- in operation since May 16 of that year. While there has been a very general compliance with the provisions of this law, yet, the fixtures, furniture and utensils of many bake-shops are badly neglected and are not kept in a clean, healthful and sanitary condition. Hereafter, all dough troughs, bread boxes, steam boxes, pans and cupboards must be well and thoroughly scraped where necessary and kept washed clean, and all woodwork of doors and windows must be painted and kept washed with soap and water. , “Deputy inspectors are directed to make close inspection of all bakeshops and prosecute all persons or firms neglecting or refusing to keep the furniture, floors, side walls and ceilings in a clean and sanitary condition as the law requires. ” Deputy Inspector D. F. Spees said: “There has been a great improvement in 'the sanitary conditions of bakeshops during the last few years, and, as a general thing, they ate now kept in a good condition, but there are still a few throughout the state in which* conditions are t bad. These are the ones we are getting after. We have succeeded in having a number of such places moved from basements to the first floors of clean buildings and have brought about a better sanitation in many others. In nearly all bake-shops the proprietors keep the ceilings and walls clean and the floors scrubbed, but in many of them little -attention is paid to cleanliness in the dough troughs and baking pans. We hope to bring about proper conditions in all such places without having to resort to prosecutions, but, if necessary, we will use the law.” FOLLOWING THE FLAG. / When our soldiers went to Cuba and the Philippines, health was the most important consideration. Willis T. Morgan, retired Commissary Sergeant U. S. A., cf Rural Route Concord, N. H., says: “I was two years in Cuba cnl two yOirs in the Philippines, and leing subject to colds, I took Dr. King’s New’ Discovery for £cnsumpt:ou which kept me in perfect health.

! SOUTHWEST The Land of BIG CROPS and PROSPERITY - — - Are you making as mueh off your farm aqyou ought? . No doubt you are making all you can. The trouble is the land costs too much. It takes too much money to buy a big farm, and so you are trying to make a living on a small farm, or perhaps you are renting one and paying a good share of what you raise, in rent. Wouldn’t it be better to go where the price of good land is so little that you can own a big farm—where every acre of the ground is|working for you and all you raise is paying good profits. There are thousands of acres ol fertile land in the Southwest along the line of the Cotton Belt Route that can be bought from $3 to |lO an acre. This land is increasing in value each year.

WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN..-

From the view point of the average man housework is very easy. The wife is right at home. She is her own mistress. She can sit down and rest any time. She can even,gp to.bed for a nap if she feels like it. She can order her household affairs just to suit her own convenience. If she doesn’t feel equal to doing work to-day, she can do it to-morrow. That’s the beautiful theory of the average man. Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-ters, when they made the required daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost of human strength, had said to the toiling slaves, "Don’t hurry, take a rest every now and then — only don’t forget that your tale of bricks must be all right at night or else there’ll be trouble.” There’s the fact. There are the day’s duties to be got through, and the women who can rest may not. The woman, who, when she married, said, "Now, I’ll be my own mistress,” finds herself a slave to household cares and duties. And ohl how much that woman needs rest sometimes. She brushes and scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples throbbing, her back aching, her nerves quivering under the stress of pain. What she would give if she could just creep upstairs and throw herself on the bed in a darkened room and rest. URest would temporarily relieve the rain, doubtless, but it would be the (lame story over again to-morrow. The {Teal need of weak, nervous women is (strength, and that need is fully met #nd satisfied by Dr. -Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It removes the causes of women’s weakness, tranquilizes and invigorates the nerves, encourages the appetite and Induces restful sleep. "Favorite Prescription” is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases «f leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painfal menstruation, unnatural suppressions and irregularities, prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back," female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration as the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with "internal beat.” "I am pleased to add my testimony in behalf of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,” writes Miss Earline Agard, Chaplin, Patriotic Daughters of America, of 413 Ji Michigan Avenue, Lansing, Mich. "1 cannot find language to express my gratitude and joy over the fact that lam well once more. Wearing my corsets too tight seemed to have brought on an extra abdominal pres'KMi weakening the ligaments and pushing the internal organs down, what to do I knew not, as no medietttiM l took seemed to help me. "I had heard of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite i description and determined to try *g.,M a last resort. Before the first •ottle was used I began to feel better, but could hardly believe that this oras permanent, but my improvement went steadily on, and within four months I was like a new woman. Wow I have no more pains, am well end strong,' and am extremely grateAil to you.” There is nothing to conceal about the make-'tap of" Favorite Prescription.” It ii an absolutely pure medicine—-

Porter, who left Satr urday afternoon for Boston to attend the meeting of the American Medical society in that city,-.was .called- back to Fort Wayne while ensroute to the , convention by a telegram informing him of the death of his father-in-law, James Wilding, on West Wayne street.

made of native roots—Nature’s own restoratives, compounded after a formula concerning which there can be no question, by skilled chemists and. by thoroughly scientific processes. Doctor Pierce ’is -perfectly willing to let every one know that his "Favorite Prescription ” contains Blue Cohosh root, Lady’s Slipper root, Unicorn root, Black Cohosh root and Golden Seal root. Every doctor knows that such a prescription is beneficial in the diseases of women and when properly compounded is certain to effect a cure in nearly all cases when given a fair trial. Every bottle of the "Favorite Prescription ” which leaves Dr. Pierce’s immense laboratories in Buffalo, N. Y., has plainly printed upon its- wrapper all the ingredients of which it is composed. Thus Dr. Pierce proves to the world his own confidence in the remedy which for forty years has borne ( his name and which is known all through the United States and Canada, England, Australia, and in parts of South America, Africa and Asia, as a sovereign cure for those diseases which, ■. unchecked, make our women old be- ’ fore their time. It will be noticed that there is no alcohol in the "FAvbRiTE Prescription.” Dr. Pierce never believed in using alcohol ip.the preparation of his famous houseKdid remedies. For it, he substitutes chemically pure glycerine, Which has wonderful properties for extracting the medicinal principles of roots and preserving thejn at their full strength, without any deleterious effect whatever* In favor of Dr. Pierce’s medicines is the frank, Confiding, open, honest statement of their full composition, giving every ingredient in plain English, without fear of successful criticism and with confidence that the good sense of the afflicted will lead them to appreciate this honorable manner of confiding to them what they are taking into their stomachs when making use of these medicines.
