RELIEF FOR COLONICS URGENTLY DEMANDED

But what’s a colonic? Anybody’s liable to be one. A colonic’s disposition is liable to be as sour as his stomach. He’s a melancholy individual and suffers from headaches and a poor appetite —-in fact is out of sorts all over. His entire trouble is due to the absorption of poisons from fermenting food substances which have remained too long in the intestinal canal. The simple and universally recognized treatment for such a condition is castor oil which can now be taken without suffering from the nasty taste and smell. Castor oil is the only medicine that heals the bowel membranes, and it doesn’t form a habit. Covington’s CASTOR-JELL is 91 per cent pure, old reliable castor oil, with a delicious orange flavor added. It’s the laxative found in the home medicine chests of physicians. On Sale at B. F.

CHAUTAUQUA DATES SET FOR AUG. 10-15

Meeting of Guarantors to Be Held at High School Auditorium Friday Night, April 28. * ’ The date of the visit to Rensselaer of the Lincoln Chautauqua has .been finally set for Aug. 10th to 1 5th inclusive, a slight change from the dates originally chosen. A letter received by Delos Dean states that the dates are arranged so as not to conflict with fairs, other assembles, etc., as nearly as it was possible for the company to set them. Looking to the success of the summer meeting, the program for which promises to be an excellent one, a meeting has been called by Rex D. Warner, the president of the local as.sociation, for Friday evening of this week, April 28th, at the high school assembly and it is desired that all in the following list be present: Rex D. Warner, D. Delos Dean, Paul C. Curnick, C. E. Prior, C. E. Johnson, J. N. Leatherman, George E. Murray, H. E. Parkinson, G. F. Meyers, C. Earl Duvall, B. Forsythe, Vern Nowels, Charles G. Spitler, C. M. Sands, W. H. Parkinson, J. D. Allman, Wm. Traub, G. L. Thornton, Judson H. Perkins, E. D. Rhoades, Geo. E. Collins, A. R. Kresler, Hamill & Co., M. D. Gwin, Warner Bros., F. E. Babcock, P. W. Clarke, A. F. Long, W. 0. Rowles, O. F. Parker, C. W. Hunley, Geo. W. Hopkins, W. L. Myer, Edd J. Randle, F. D. Burchard, W. S. Day, E. P. Honan, I. N. Warren, A. Leopold, G. H. McLain, W. F. Osborne, Geo. H. Healey, F. H. Hemphill, Schuyler C. Irwin, W. L. Bott, B. Frank Alter, C. C. Warner, E, N. Loy. It is also desired that others interested attend the meeting and especially those who are interested in the junior work of the chautauqua, as Mrs. Helen B. Paulsen, one of Hie representatives of the company, will be present. Mrs. Paulsen is the founder of the junior chautauqua in this country and will outline the work and hopes to start a plan to interest the parents of the children and by the organization of a committee from the high school. She is a talented woman and parents and all who are interested in child welfare should try to attend the meeting. Mrs. Paulsen will be pleased to answer questions, make suggestions and - assist the plans in any way. In a letter from Alonzo E. Wilson, the president and general manager of the Lincoln Chautauquas, to Mr. Dean, he states that Mrs. Paulsen will have a real message for every citizen in the community and should be given a large hearing. Rensselaer people, who have taken a great deal of interest and found much pleasure and instruction in the chautauqua assembles of the past three years, should begin now to plan to make this the most successful of all. The splendid advantage offered of having the tented entertainers in Milroy park, right in the heart of the city, is a great drawing card and in order that the attendance may be as Targe as possible and that all may have an opportunity to enjoy the sessions it is well to keep the dates, Aug. 10th to 15th in mind. Plans for having summer visitors should take the date into consideration. Last year the junior work was inconvem- - enced becaues the session came after the schools had taken up but this will not be the case this year and the instructive recreation for the children should have the co-operation of every person to accomplish this to the of possibilities all should hear Mrs. Paulsen Friday evening.

CARROLL COUNTY LADY HANGED SELF MONDAY

Angered Because Her Husband Insisted On Attending K. of P. Meeting—Deplorable Tragedy. Displeased because of the announcement by her husband that he was going to Frankfort to attend a county K. of P. meeting at Frankfort, Mrs. Larry Stong, living just over the Carroll county line near Rossville, hanged herself from a rafter in the woodshed at her home Monday morning. The couple had discussed his going to the meeting and Mrs. Stong had seriously objected. After he had started from home he went to close the bam doorS and going again to the house found his wife’s suspended body. She had stood upon a fan mill to attach the rope and then used the mill as a place from which to drop. Her two small children were sleeping at the time the deed iwas committed. Mr. Stong removed the body from the shed and called a physician, but life <was extinct when he arrived. Friends of the unfortunate woman all agree that she was doubtless insane, the mental malady being produced by sickness. Her objection to her husband going to the meeting is believed to have been entirely due to her deranged mental state.

Mrs. Emma Wolf, of Jennings Seminary at Aurora, 111., is visiting Mrs. AlVerta Simpson at the Monnett School for Girls. They are today attending the meeting of the M. E. Foreign Missionary Society at Monticello. Mrs. J. M. Wasson and Mrs. John Q. Alter are also attending the missionary meeting. Mrs. E. M. Parcels received a call early this morning from Indianapolis and was asked to come at once to that place because of the alarming sickness of her little grandchild, Sarah Alice, the daughter of Mrs. Bertha O’Neil. The child has 'been sick only since Sunday but the nature of the sickness was not learned. * William Hepry McDowell, former president of the Monon railroad, whose death occurred in Chicago Monday night, was 75 years of age on March 28th. He was interested in stone quarries and coal mines along the Monon and was a man of considerable means. He was born in Goofstown, N. H. Mrs. Isabel Carmen, mother of Mrs. J. J. Miller, has purchased the William Warren property at the south end of Weston street which has for some time been occupied by the family of Clency Wood, and will have it remodeled and improved. Mrs. Wood, it is understood, will send her children to live with their grandmother and will accept employment in a home as a servant. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Maxwell and sons, Clarence and Wilfoid and the former’s wife, and Mrs. Bell Geiib went to Benton county Monday to attend the funeral of Mr. Maxwell’s niece, Mrs. Vilas Kelley, whose death was due to internal abscesses. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Maxwell and formerly lived at Francesville. Her age was 26 years and she leaves a husband and two ’ittle sons. A little girl named Adams died at the home of her parents on D. L. Halstead’s farm northeastof Mt. Ayr, Sunday of scarlet fever. The case was looked after by Dr. J. T. Martin, of Mt. Ayr. It is understood that the girl, whose age was 8 years, had been in school until the close last week and had traveled to and from her home in the school hack with other children. There is, therefore, considerable danger of a spread of the disease.' The child’s funeral was held today, being private, and burial being made in the North Star cemetery. A damage suit asking - e or $50,000 judgment against the Monon railroad company was filed Tuesday in the Montgomery circuit court by Miles Arnold, a fireman on the road. He was injured at Crawfordsville on May 11, 1914, and alleges that the company gave him a defective hook with which to pull down the water spouts. When he used the hook at Crawfordsville he alleges it broke and he was thrown violently to the ground from the coal tender of the engine on which he was working. Arnold was injured about the head and now wears a silver plate in his skull where he was injured. He is listed as his own attorney.

Billy Wesse, poolroom and soft drink emporium proprietor at Wheatfield, whose alleged law violations have caused his arrest at divers times, was fined $5 and costs by Judge Hanley this week for allowing minors to enter his place of business.

A plea in abatement vas filed, setting up that the defendant was obliged to testify in the recent suit of the State vs. Polen, wherein he gave evidence of visiting a gambling house and that where a defendant is so compelled to testify the law protects him and relieves ‘him of any punishment. He was represented by Attorneys Parkinson and Halleck and the court sustained the plea and dismissed the defendant.
