No other medicine for vwaman’s ills has any such professional endorsement as Dr. Pierce s Favorite ( Prescription has received, an the unqualified recommendation of each of its several ingredients by 1 fl L, scores of leading medical men of all the schools of practice. Is such an endorsement not worthy $J| K7 of your consideration ? Is it not a significant fact too that W1 fl Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription IMB Js the only medicine sold through druggists, for woman's peculiar weak- *=fl nesses and ills, the makers of which are not afraid to print its every in. ■sh gredlent on its outside wrapper? Is this not worthy of your consideration [I if you are a poor sick invalid woman f i formula of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription win bear the most critical examination of medical experts, for it contains no alcohol, narcotics, harmful, or habit-forming drugs, and no agent enters into ir that is not highly recommended by the most advanced and leading medical teachers and authorities of their .several schools of practice. These authorities recommend the ingredients of Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for the cure of exactly the same ailments for which this world-famed medicine is advjsedx A booklet of ingredients, with numerous authorative professional endorsements by the leading medical g authorities of this country, will be mailed free to any one sending name and address with request for same.

JAMBS M. ARCHBOLD, ■ Dated Mar. g. 1909. Admr. D. D? Heller & Son, Attys. Bt-lew . . — The bar committee appointed by Judge Paulus at Marion to investigate the professional conduct of W. J. Houck, has reported and‘filed charges against Houck, recommending that ac- ■ tlon be brought to oust him from membership in the Grant county bar, and that he be disbarred from practicing law there. The action against him will be pushed. The lee men hate decided that the customer must pay for his book in advance this year, and we believe this rule, if observed will be more satisfactory to every one concerned. At any rate it is necessary, as the ice man has to pay for "his car of ice when It arrives and cannot afford to advance the money for an entire 86&8OIU t . . t : I>• . •• » • ’ •

Just; .how, good Jhey were a wo cannot say, but they did a prosperous rush for about two hours, un1 til they were reported to Marshal Butler, who promptly placed them r under arrest and escorted them be9 fore Mayor France, where they were s charged with peddling without Jii cense. They made an awful “yelp,” 1 Raymundo especiallly talking mean 9 about free America, where an innocent “dago” cannot even sell fake * cigars without paying for- it. He reB fused to settle finally and the mayor r ordered the officers to take him to 1 jail. He started, then came back and 3 told his honor something in a for-J elgn lingo that no one could understand, paid his two dollars which he slammed down on the table and walk5 ed out without waiting for 'his papers.

The offer was a recognition of Rev. Spetnagie’s splendid abilities. The position offered carred with it an lncrease in salary worth mentioning and the contract was for two. years. The Terre Haute district is comprised of fifteen counties and has been in charge of My. Whltnack of South Bend, who has resigned to enter business ftr that efty. Rev. Spetnagie’s active interest In the fight here and bis unquestioned ability/were the causes of his selection andj had he accepted, ft is safe to he would have made arecto any worker in the state. However, his decision to continue his work in the church here will cause joy among his congregation as well as pleasure to other citizens of Decatur for he is a man in every sense of the word and his year here has made him one of the most popular citizens of Decatur, his ability to make and retain friends being one of the best of his many assets.
