DECIDE YOURSELF.

The Opportunity is Here, Backed By Rensselaer Testimony. Don’t take our word for it. Don’t depend on a stranger’s statement Bead Rensselaer endorsement. Bead the statement? of Rensselaer citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it. Charles Malchow, Harvey Street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery years. The attacks came ©nrso frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. My back was most affected and often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretionS annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Pendig’e Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan's Kid- " ney Pills since when having similar attacks and I have never failed to get relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask tor a kidney remedyget Doan's Kidney Pitts—the same that Mr. -Malchow had. F©*t«r-M ilium Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

OUR ARMY AND NAVY SECOND TO NONE

Bead Admiral Badger and General Crosier Allay Uneasiness Con ; coming Armament.

Washington', Dec. B.—Lessons drawn from the European war were discussed before the house military and naval committees today by Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance of the army and Rear Admiral Badger, of the navy’s general staff. Crozier said the U. S. never would have use for guns similar to the great howitzers with which the Germans demolish Belgium’s fort® and asserted that the American field guns were as good as any in the world. Admiral Badger told the naval committee that “ship for ship, the U- S. navy is equal to, if not better than, that of Germany or any other-nation.” While these committees were at work, the majority members of the rules committee were deciding not to grant the request of Representative Gardner for a hearing on his resolution to direct a special inquiry into the preparedness of the United States for war. Notwithstanding the committee’s attitude, Mr. Gardner tonight reiterated his determination to keep up the fight for a special investigation. Du ring the day Senator Lodge indicated that he would call up in the senate later his resolution similar to the one introduced in the house by Representative Gardner.

Look Out Brer Rabbit

Brea- Rabbit, who was granted some extension of existence because of the foot and mouth quarantine, is noty having to exercise every faculty to elude the pursuit and the marksmanship of local The restriction against hunting rabbits, which extends from Jan. Ist to Nov. 10th has resulted in the production of a large number of young ones and the open fall has permitted them to fatten in fine style and we have It from a discriminating epicurean/ who made a breakfast on them that they are as tender and juicy as any venison of the chase. The snOw of yesterday and today and tomorrow and so on makes it easy to track the cottontail and the short, season will prompt hunters to activity and the bunny that can keep out of gunshot until the first of January will be mighty lucky.

And now the Weekly Inter-Ocean has been sold to the W. D. Boyce Co., Publishers, of Chicago, and its name changed to ‘The Farming Business,” and it is to be an agricultural paper. Thus is wiped out of existence the name qf a once great newspaper and the many subscribers for the weekly in Jasper county will receive The Farming Business for the remainder of the year for which they are paid.

WILL CONSTRUCT CONCRETE ROAD

Benton County Will Experiment With New Material at Cost ol 110,000 Per Mile.

Fowler, Ind., Dec. B.—Benton county is planning on going into the improved road business on the most extensive scale in its history. It is announced that viewers will approve the Freeman road in Grant tdwnship, which is to be concrete > and wHI cost $30,000. It is to be three miles in length. Thus far crushed stone and gravel roads have been the extent of the expense, and thousands of dollars have been spent on this kind of roads, miles and miles having been built in the past few years. -Yesterday afternoon the county commissioners, on recommendation of the viewers’ Anal report and supplemenary statement, approved a change in specifications from brick to stone, on the Burns road In Bolfver township. A delegation of farmers from Boliver township visited the commissioners and expressed their opposition to the more expensive style of road. The highway is to be three miles long, and by using stone the construction price will be brought down to about $7,900l number of other road matters reported on by the viewers were given approval by the commissioners. It is stated that there is much opposition being manifest to the extensive road building that -has been in progress, yet there are many farmers In various parts of the county fho are clamoring for better highways over which to haul their immense crops, and indications further point to the fact that road building in Benton county will not decrease, , when the farmers demand them.
