Danger Signal. If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger sibnal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell When it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: “During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get 'him to take any other.” Obtainable everywhere. C

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1915.

Delbert Beckman Recovered; Will Remain In New Mexico.

Friends of Delbert BeCkman, who until three months ago was the assistant cashier of the State Bank, and who resigned his position and hastened to Santa Fe, N. Mex., with what appeared to be a bad case of tuberculosis, surprised 'his many friends by his arrival in Rensselaer this Friday morning. He had gained a dozen pounds n weight and the pallor that alarmed has friends before his departure had been replaced by a brownish tinge that makes him -look like a contender for the middleweight championship. If there was ever any teehee in has system it seems to have disappeared. Del will continue to live in New Mexico, however, and his visit here is a business one connected with his job of business manager of a sanitarium located in Sante Fe. If he can picture to prospective inmates the remarkable transformation in his own condition he should be able to fill every department of the sanitarium in short order.' The Beckmans, by the way, are having a very enjoyable Christmas reunion, with both sons at home. Jim saved from death on -the Lusitania because he was left at home the last minute and Del fairly snatched from the jaws of death by a change of climate. Horse meat will be sold legally as food in New York after Jan. Ist. On thin account a good many Will plan their vacation in the west again next year. Dr. W. L. Myer and family are spending Christmas at Frankfort and will also visit Flora before returning home. Dr. Myer and family, although they have been residents of Rensselaer for several years, have never spent a 'Christmas hre, always being either at his wife’s old home at Frankfort or his own at Flora. The weatherman sent a forecast early this morning for a white Christmas and soon after the message reached hefre the snow began falling and the earth is covered with two or three inches and it is still snowing. This ought to make rabbit hunting good tomorrow and bunny will have a lucky Christmas if he keeps his life. Twenty years ago Jacob D. Rich was the editor of The Brook Reporter. At that time corn was selling at 22 cents a bushel. Brook was trying to get a telephone system and the paper was urging five men to be liberal enough to put in phones at $2.50 per month. Hogs were $3 per hundred, oats 14 and 15 cents a bushel, chickens 5 cents a pound, eggs 15 cents a dozen, butter 12% cents a pohnd, geese 5 cents and turkeys 6 cents a pound. Bob Toombs, of Barkley township, went into a tantrum a feiw evenings ago and it took some five or six men to restrain him. A physician was called and it developed that Bob was suffering from the effects of a few drinks of liquor spiked with “knock out” drops or something of that sort. The liquor is said to have been purchased of a man who is alleged to conduct a blind tiger in that neck of the woods. Bob thinks that an attempt was made on his life. Here is the foundation for an inquiry. Mrs. Frank Ham returned Thursday from Alma, Mich., where she had been Called by the sudden death of her mother on Dec. 10th. At that time the cause of her death was not known here but Mrs. Halp learned after arriving at 'Alma that death was due to heart failure. Her mother, who was Mrs. Mary Epperson Stickrod, had been feeling in her usual health and had gone to her room for the night and was siezed with the heart trouble that resulted in her death in two minutes. The funeral was held at Alma on Dec. 13, and all six of the children were there to attend it.

TO MAKE DANDRUFF QUICKLY VANISH

Try This Simple, Inexpensive Home Treatment. No one likes dandruff, but to get rid of it you must do more than wash your hair. The cause of dandruff lies not in the hair, (but on the scalp and in the hair roots, and just as twice daily you use a germicidal tooth powder or cream to cleanse your teeth of germs, so you should use Parisian Sage twice daily to drive dandruff from your scalp, prevent its return, protect your hair from falling out and nourish its proper growth. Dandruff makes your hair fall out. Parisian Sage makes Dandruff fall out and your hair stay in. A delightfully perfumed hair and scalp treatment easily applied at home, very inexpensive and obtainable from B. F. Fendig or any drug or toilet counter.
