Not So Strange After AIL

You may think it strange that so many people are cured of stomach trouble by Chamberlain’s Tab lets. You would not, however, if you should give them a trial. They strengthen and invigorate the stomach and epable it to perform its functions naturally. Mrs. Rosie Bish, Wabash, Ind., writes, “Nothing did me the least good until I began using Chamberlain's Tablets. It is decidedly the best medicine for stomach trouble I have ever used.” For sale by all dealers. C

Lafayette Journal. , / Daniel McGuire, of Fowler, who was arrested early yesterday morning on the Brown street levee for intoxication and provoke after he ‘had run into an automobile driven by Frank Frazier, was fined in two coprts yesterday. Two charges, intoxication and provoke, were placed against him in the West Side court and he paid $20.40.

An investigation was made and it was learned that McGuire was accompanied on his Joy ride by Minnie Porter, Sadie Hickman and Maude Nichols.

DEMOCRAT TO HELP US ADVERTISE BIG CONTEST

The Republican has instituted the biggest subscription contest ever undertaken in this part of Indiana. The prizes are not speculatory, but ate of values exceeding SI,OOO. The price of a brand new Ford touring car is $506, which includes the freight from Detroit. The Republican is giving away as the first grand prize a brand new 19141915 model Ford touring car. The second prize is a piano, a good one that is not sent out by any bundh of contest promoters, but which The Republican is buying direct from the manufacturers. It has never sold for less than S3OO. It is a second prize better than a lot of the first prizes wlrich have been pulled off hereabouts and is well worth working hard to secure; The third prize is a lot in the Rensselaer factory addition, fqr which the editors paid S2OO in cash at the same time a certain knocking newspaper was throwing cold water on an enterprise which the enthusiasts of the town were behind. It is not worth S2OO now; that is, it would not be so regarded at first

thought, but it is a corner lot 50x150 feet in dimensions, well located in the factory addition and comes nearer being worth S2OO a whole lot than the last piano which The Democrat gave away came to being worth $350. In fact, considering the fact that unimproved property in Rensselaer has doubled in value within the past few years it is not a high price tto place the lot at. It has always been the iprttce at which The Republican has held it. It would uaalee <a desirable building lot now or at any future time. It Js more valuable by a great deal than the so-ca Med $350 first prize which the knocking editor of The Democrat presented to a poor girl for a half year’s hard work. The fourth prize is a $65 sewfing machine, a Domestic. This machine may be purchased in cash for a litt)e less perhaps than $65, but that is the listed price and the machine is equal to any machine manufactured and is for sale-at the price quoted. It is just about as valuable as the first prize which The Democrat gave in a recent contest. The fifth prize is $25 in gold, the sixth a ’s2o gold watch and the seventh is $5 in gold. A list .of prizes available to any person who will do a little hustling, not for six

New Bakery to Be Opened For Business Next Monday.

or seven months, but for the next five weeks. To earn $506 in cash would keep most men busy a great part of a year. To earn that much above the living of a family would take several years’ for many men, but here is a prize worth all of $506, and it vvTll go to some person, man • or woman, girl or -boy, who gets the largest number of votes by the evening of Sept. 18th. It is worth hustling for, it is worth diligent study and work, it is a prize that is worth SIOO per week for every week between now and the day the contest closes. And all that you have to do is to get busy and help put The Republican in every home in Jasper county. If you have made the effort and fail to get one of the listed prizes then The Republican wall give you 10 per cent of all the cash you have turned in. It is a contest so fair that the editpr of The Jasper County Dempcrat has kindly consented to help us advertise it. He will do it, to be sure, just like he has advertised everything that is fair and public-spirited, by using, his hammer, but the poor old hammer is ■getting about worn out and ever since The Republican exposed The Democrat in advertising that it would give away a $350 piano which The Republican was offered for $145, The Democrat man has been having a nightmare of contest distress and evidently in his midnight dreams he sees the poor girt who worked a half year for that $350 (?) piano. The Republican has had a constant increase in its subscription list since the present publishers have conducted it. But we have believed that there .are from 500 to 1,000 families that should have it who do nqt and it is ta, get these that this Contest is being'conducted. It is a fair, square, open and above board proposition, run under the supervision of the owners of this paper by a contest company that comes to us with the Wheat recommendations. We are glad to know that The Democrat will help us advertise it, for every knock from The Democrat is a boost and means new business and life-long friends. Subscribe today from one of the hustling candidates and help them get a Ford touring car or one of the other prizes.

Prompt Service Through Our Classified Columns.

The Republican has always felt very proud of its classified advertisirig because it has done the work for which designed so effectively. The be.»t results have been attained, by buyers, sellers, landlords, agents,* etc. It fills the field so completely that we can almost guarantee results. , Today Eari Thornton, of Vinton, lowa, called to advertise a lost suitcase, which had fallen from his father’s automobile 'enroute from Surrey. The advertisement had been written and 10 minutes after Earl left the office his mother called to say that the suit ease had been found by Ernest L Comer, who came along the north gravel soon after the Thornton’s had dirven by. Mrs. Thornton said: ‘The ad did the work.” The only drawback about such prompt returns is that we lose the pay lor the advertising.
