RULES FOR CONSUMPTIVES Laid Down by Dr. Hurty of the State Board. In a circular letter by Dr. J.. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health ,a number of rules are laid down by which Dr. Hurty says tuberculosis or consumption, may be controlled. The subject is treated under several subheads. The first is “Consujnption and How to Prevent It. ’ J On this point the circular contains the following: Consumption causes about 5,000 deaths in Indiana every year. But able physicians tell us, that, if we follow certain directions, we can help to stamp out the disease. Consumption is not inherited. It does not belong to our climate. It is very often cured. It is preventable. Consumpton is usually carried by the poison which comes from the consumptive’s sputum, or spit. Sick persons should take care to burn their spit, or put into the drain. The trouble now is that consumptives spit upon the floors or in the street. The poisonous sputum then dries, and goes as dust, to infect dozens of people. Under the heading of “Things Bad for Weak Lungs,” the circular says: Dust, and smoky or dusty places are bad. Dark, damp or crowded rooms are bad. Dirty shops and stores, dirty saloons and dance halls, dusty kinds of business, like marble cutting, sorting feathers or making ci gars, are bad for weak lungs. To sit oveY one’s work is bad. Self indulgence and intemperance are very bad. Vice weakens the strong and kills the weak. Fresh air in plenty prevents consumption. Sunshine kills the germs. Choose sunny roms. Open the windows J and let the air in. Keep the house clean and if a consumptive has moved out of a room have the board of health disinfect it. Be in the open air as much as can be. Outdoor work is vastly better than indoor work. Keep the feet dry. Breathe with deep, long, full breaths, so as to carry the fresh air to every corner of your lungs. Do this always for several minutes in the. mornipg and at night. Breathe through the nostrils and not through the open mouth. Spend your money for simple and well-cooked food—good fresh meat, eggs, oatmeal, rice and other vegetables, and for bread and butter, milk, and fruit. Bacon and ham are good, and fat pork. Do not spend money for beer or other liquors, or for quack medicines, or “cures.” Live a regular life, and keep the bowels regular. Get plenty of sleep. Daily bathing is good. A cold slap bath over the chest in the morning, followed by a rough towel, is excellent for weak lungs. Keep clean company and a clear conscience. Courage is very important. THE OLD MAN IS INSANE Picked up hTis Morning and Placed In Jail. Marshal Green Saturday picked up an old man by the name of Leander Johnson who has the symptoms of being demented. He had been wandering over the country for several days before he finally drifted into this city. When Marshal Green arrested him he said he had four mil- , lion dollars on deposit at the Old ! Adams County Bank and wanted to go over and draw it out. The old man’s condition is pitiful and the in- ' sanity board will no doubt take some ( action in his case in the near future, i He was lodged in jail, where he will be kept until further arrangements are made. Dan Erwin, his guardian, will no doubt make the necessary arrangements to have his ward taken care of. < BUYS A FORT WAYNE STORE Harry Christen Goes Into Drug Business in that City. John Christen received word from his son Harry Christen who is at Fort Wayne stating that he had purchased a drug store in that city at the corner of Calhoun and Douglas streets and that they were busy at present invoicing the stock. Rollo Parrish of this city is with Mr. Christen and is assisting in the work. The drug store is situated on one of the best streets in Fort Wayne and is centrally located and has always done a big business. Mr. Christen is thoroughly acquainted with the drug busi- , ness, and. will no doubt make this venture a successful one. He is a shrewd business man and able to care for the wants of the public in gaper- ; al. We certainly wish him success.

1,500 PEOPLE SAW THE GAME Visitors Won by Score of Five to Four, Though Out-Played and Out-Hit. The first engagement with Bluffton has been fought and the visitors accompanied by two hundred loyal rooters went home happy, with our scalp dangling at their belt. Outhit, out-played and out-classed, the visitors won the game. We have no hard luck story to sing; those who saw the game know how it happened, those who didn’t can hear it anyway to suit their taste. It was a battle royal, every minute of the thirteen innings being a contest.* Nearly 1,500 people saw the game and yelled themselves hoarse as inning after inning went past with the result in the balance. Women cried and men felt like, it and it is safe to say that never in the history of base ball in Decatur was so much interest shown. „ Railing pitched for Decatur and was in fine form up to the seventh inning, allowing but one scratch hit He had the visitors at his mercy and it looked like an easy victory for Decatur. The home boys scored two runs in the first inning on hits by O. France and Bart France and a sacrifice by Aug, scoring O. France and Coffee, the latter, the first man up getting his base by being hit by a pitched ball. From then on to the seventh neither side scored. In the first half of that inning, Goodman made a two-base hit. Overmeyer, the next man, hit to Railing, who threw to third to catch Goodman. The latter started to second and Bales threw to Aug. Goodman threw up his arm and was struck by the ball. Umpire Peterson called him safe and a “rag chewing” of several minutes duration followed. This was finally settled and the game resumed. Comingor hit to Railing, who again threw to third to head of Goodman. The umpire called the runner safe, and again trouble ensued, resulting in Frank Peterson being substituted as umpire. Brown then hit to right field and scored Goodman. In the eighth Decatur made one run and Bluffton two, tieing the score. Both 'sides were goose-egged until the eleventh inning, when each made one. In the twelfth, Bluffton made a run, and Decatur was retired in order, ending the agony. THE BATTING AVERAGE LIST Shows Railing Leads and Withan is Second. After some delay Secretary Vaughn of the Base Ball Association has figured’out the batting averages of the different members of the Decatur team who have played with the team so far this season. The dope shows that Pitcher Railing, is the star batter with Withan a close second, ,O. France third and Bart France fourth, all these men batting over the three hundred mark. Big Jake Hillinger has so far shown the best ability as a run getter, and is also well up in batting for a catcher. The fielding averages of the team will be published as soon as completed by the sectary. The list follows: Players Gaines A.B. H. P.C., R. Augr i • - 9 40- !«■;,.2W5 5 C. O.

THE MILLERS IN CONVENTION Agree to Association for the Buying of Grain. Winona Lake, Infl., June 14. —The ninety millers who hold mtembership in the Indiana Millers’ state association are interested in a movement among the larger makers of flour in this state to get the smaller operators into an association, through which it is proposed to do the buying of grain. Some of those who are here for the convention of the state association assert that the movement is not for the purpose of controlling prices of flour or wheat, but to enable the millers to get their grain elsewhere than in the open market. There are between 500 and 600 flouring mills in Indiana, so that the present membership of the State association does not begin to control, but under the movement which is being considered it is proposed to expand the membership materially. Millers say that for two years farmers of Indiana have not been taking their wheat to the open market to as great an extent as in former years. They have been going direct to the miller and have forced the mill* r to pay a little better than the prev.<ling market value. Instead of a combination or merger interests, controlling the flour situation in Indiana., it is said that competition is fierce. LADELLE’S SUCCESSFUL TRIP New Closing in.

EFFORT TO RAISE A FUND : Os SSOO to Build Monument for a Brave Deputy Sheriff. s Sheriff Butler received the follow- • ing letter: Dear Sir: —On March 31, 1906, ; Harry Smith the popular and efficient i deputy sheriff of Orange county, Ini diana, was shot and instantly killed ; by John Roby and Oliver Hayeoek, . two desparadoes, while attempting to s arrest the two men at Roby’s home near Paoli, Indiana. Harry Smith was ; a brave officer, fearless in the dis- • charge of his duty always ready to go i anywhere at any time to apprehend a i criminal. The murder of Deputy • Smith, the flight of the murderers, » their pursuit by officers among the ( hills of sotithern Indiana, their cap- • ture and sentence to life imprison- ■ ment is now a part of the criminal ■ history of Indiana, and well known ■ throughout the entire state. It is proposed by the Harry Smith ■ Memorial Association to raise a fund ! of $500.00 for the purpose of erect'- > ing a monument to his memory to be • known as the “Harry Smith Memor- • ial,” with appropriate inscriptions > showing that the sheriffs, deputy sher- • iffs and their friends of Indiana, ■ erected the monument as a testimonial • of the regaid they have for the man : who dies in the discharge of his duty. A soldier, who dies on the field of battle, while bravely fighting for his flag, is no greater hero than the soonforgotten peace officer, who sacrifices his life in the discharge of duty. You are therefore invited to send a small contribution to Alvin B. Ham, County Auditor, and Trasurer of the Association, Paoli, Ind, to aid in this laudable undertaking. OLIVER L. MARIS, President, Sheriff Orange County. NOMINATE A COUNTY TICKET Allen County Republicans Hold a Convention. Allen county Republicans nominated a county ticket Saturday, the nom-' inees being John C. Workman for state senator, A. A. Ringwait, Harty Keller and E. C. Thomas for representatives, R. S.

Campe for treasurer, Jesse Grice for sheriff, Garret Van Sweringen for coroner, John W. Holmes for assessor, William Hockemeyer, David L. Pettit and Henry Hilgeman, for eommissioners. PURDUE BULLETIN IS ISSUED. One of the most important bulletins issued for some time by the Purdue experimental station appeared Thursday. It is entitled “Commercial Fertilizers” and contains the report of special agents of the Purdue station on |heir investigaton into the fertilizers used in the state last year. Twenty-eight per cent of the brands fell below the guarantee in value of plant food contained, and not a few so far below as to indcate gross carelessness or intent to defraud. This means that in many instances the farmer is not getting what he is paying for and what he has a right to expect in his fertilizer.
