How Terrible

If Lloyd's Kidney Tablets continue to overcome kidney troubles, rheumatism, baekaohe and dropsy at the rate they have been doing lately, according to reports, these troubles will soon be much scarcer in our city. The experienoe of a neighbor, given below, the third remarkable recovery in this city that has been told about in this paper recently.
Mr. IA W. Prewlt of 334 S. 13hi St., Terre Haute, Ind., save: "Sometime ago I suffered with a severe attack of rneumatism. In fact each winter for the past five or six rears the rheumaticm would get me down in bed. My feet and limbs were in a terrible condition. For a long: time I covld not walk at all. I also suffered with sharp pains *n both arms. Nothing helped me much. Finally someone recommended IJovd's Kidney and Rheumatism Tablets, the new scientific- prescription, and I started taking them several months ago. I am glad to say that 1 did not suffer at all this winter. Lloyd's certainly rid me of a verv bad case and I am glad to tell others of this wonderful prescription. Bo sure and get Lloyd's—the kind that cured me."
Lloyd's Kidney Tablets, referred to above, certainly seem to be bringing remarkable results everywhere. We advise everybody afflicted with kidney or bladder trouble, backache or rheumatism to try them. Just ask for a 50c or $1.00 package of Lloyd's Kidney Tablets at any drug store.
BuTitin Drug Company especially recommends them and has them always In stock.

identifying his signature to a voucher offered to prove that Roberts had drawn salary in excess of the salary properly due him, When Slinkard said the voucher was sufficient evidence in itself, to which Batt replied: "Then a little more won't hurt."
As the voucher for each month's salary of the mayor from February 1 to March 1, 1S15, was offered, Slinkard objected and the objection was overruled.
Wrangles Mark Hearing.
The witness testified that when he told Mayor Roberts that tils increase in salary was illegal, in his opinion, the mayor had said that he was going to have it in spite of the controller or city attorney. Witness said he had been given a bond by Roberts indemnifying: him against any personal loss If the salary increase should be held illegal. This indemnifying bond, he said, had been signed by Charles Mancourt and Harry S. Montgomery," members of the board of public works.
A long wrangle ensued over the offer to Introduce the voucher for $100 in favor of Miller and Dowling, Indianapolis attorneys for defending the mayor in the Terre Haute Paper Co. sewer case in the federal court, but the court permitted it to be Introduced. Slinkard objected on the ground that Roberts had approved it as a private individual and not as mayor. The same wrangle continued when the vouchers for the auto purchases and repairs were offered but the court overruled the objections.
Slinkard said that if other oiflcers had approved these purchases it was their business and not the mayor's.
Judge Batt said he couldn't get the drift of the gentleman's objections. "No," replied Slinkard, "You never have." "I hope I never will," Judge Batt responded. "I don't care whether you ever do," said Slinkard, "but somebody will."
The court rapped for order. At another time Slinkard said he hadn't heard an answer, and Batt suggested that he "was so busy objeccting that he couldn't hear."
At 10:40 a. m. for the first time during the proceedings Slinkard permitted a question to be asked without objection. It was in reference to whether the council had made an appropriation to hire Eph Inman, of Indianapolis, but he objected to all the questions following it.

reason. A reason is a Just cause for doing a thing, but an excuse is something that we give when we have no reason, or when we do not want the real reason to appear. In fact, all excuses are humbugs—they are lies." "I have ail sympathy with th03e who are honest doubters, who are trying to believe the great truths of Christianity, but are yet in the darkness of doubt. But I have no sympathy at all for the man who is trying to hide his sins under the cloak of skepticism. Why is it that many boast that they are agnostics? Why do they not use the Latin word 'ignoramus' instead of the Greek word, 'agnostics?' for it means exactly the same thing." 8ervice For Men.
In speaking to men only Sunday afternoon, Dr. Lyon assailed the churcn member who rented his buildings for saloons and houses of ill fame. He said the reason there were so many fallen women today was because of the devilish licentiousness of the men that men were just as much to blame as the women when he fell.
A pledge to treat every woman as he would like to have the other fellow treat his wife, sister and daughter was taken by all the men present. The men arose to their feet and took this pledge. Mr. Jones then sang "Tell Mother 111 Be There." and the men began leaving their seats to go forward to the altar to profess their conversion.
In the morning. Dr. Lyon spoke on "The Lordiship of Jesus Christ." He said the princeliness of the Savior was shown consistently throughout the bible. The greatest need today, he said, was a general application of the life of Jesus Christ in all of life's a£fkirs.
WOMEN'S MEETING HELD.
Rev. Daisy Barr Douglass Speaks on "Springs That Dry Up." "Springs That Dry Up" was the subject of an address by the Rev. Daisy Barr Douglass of the Lj'on forces to several hundred women at Centenary M. E. church Sunday afternoon. This meeting was held while tne men's meeting was being addressed by the Rev. Lyon at the tabernacle. Rev. Barr took as her text from Peter 2:1: "Wells Without Water." Her talk was based on her discovery as a child of the difference between surface springs and those which flow all year round and applied it in a spiritual way. In turn she spoke of the springs that dry up, the spring of youth, the spring of friendship and the spring of wealth, and as a climax to her talk spoke of the spring that never dries up, the spring of salvation. "We are drinking today," she said, "from this same spring at which our fathers and mothers drank and their fathers and mothers before them, and It gives forth today the same healing waters that it did then, joys not only for the present but for the life to come, as well." As a result of the speakers' earnestness 91 women made professions.
An excellent musical program was given, led by Mrs. Jones, and which included a solo by Miss Maude Paige. Mrs. Barr will speak to men only at the First Methodist church Thursday night and at the same time Rpv. Lyon will address women only at the tabernacle.

He was left lying on the battlefield and was found by a party of confederate cavalry and removed to a nearby house, where he was given all of the little care that could be furnished. Gangrene .set in and lockjaw threatened, and he seemed to be facing certain death. His father learned of his serious condition, and went to Nashville and succeded In having him removed to Louisville, where he was helpless in a hospital for three months.

This accotuit, however,- does not agree with the British official report published Saturday, which declared that the British were assuming the offensive after a stubborn resistance on the part of the Turks.
Petrograd reports continue to assert that the advance of German troops in the direction of Riga is only a raid, but an uneasy feeling is growing In London that these invaders are in force sufficiently strong seriously to threaten Ruslan communications.
Other sections on the eastern front record only minor engagements, wtiile the western battle lines evidently are taking a breathing spell after the strenuous activity of the last fortnight.

Yet it has all the Chalmers quality, and owing to new plans of construction, a distinctly different appearance from any other motor car.
It gets away quicker than any car we've ever seen except a racer. It rides like a Pullman. It is a "thoroughbred."
We feel that it paid to wait for it. Come in and see if you don't think so too.
