Bremen May Be Off Coast Seeking Boston Port.

Every point along the Maine coast was watched sharply Monday for two submarines believed to be foreign vessels, and possibly the long expected German merchantman Bremen and a consort. The strange vessels were reported five miles off Cross Island, near Machias and close to the Canadian waters Monday by a coast guard lookout, but no word had reached Portland Monday to bear out the emphatic declaration from the station that they are undersea craft, and were proceeding at top speed toward the west. The vigil along the coast extended as far as Halifax, N. S., and St. John, N. 8., both of which ports reported that naval authorities had no information regarding the presence of submarines in these waters.

Dr. Leslie Sharrer will be in my office every afternoon from 1 until 4 o’clock and can be called at any other time of day or night by calling 211. Dr. C. E. Johnson. An.ia F. Turfler, Osteopath.

DO BUSINESS AT HOME There are hundreds of swindlers always on the go who take good people’s money for periodical subscriptions and move to the next town to spend it. Usually these confidence men offer magazines at greatly reduced prices. No standard magazine, that is, no magazine you really want, permits anyone to undersell its own price. You can never buy the kind of subscription you want, at cheaper price from any stranger than through your own newsdealer. Don’t pay money for subscriptions, —goods not delivered —to people you do not know. Least of all at scalper’s rates, 'way below tho publisher’s printed price. Your dealer pays rent and taxes and lives within reach, which guarantees that your subscription will be properly placed with the publisher. Also he is on the spot as the mblishers’ agent when anything goes wrong. DON’T YOU GET “STUNG”! A Word to the Public: DO BUSINESS AT HOME. In addition to the above, I want to say a word about newspaper subscriptions. I take your subscription for any newspaper published in the world, as cheap as publishers’ prices. In addition I save you your time, cost of your paper, envelopes, stamps and money order, which is qui\e a saving. Anyone I know personally can call me on the telephone and I will order the paper at once. For the convenience of farmers and others who can not get in the city early, I have taken the American Express branch agency and can wnte your money orders at any time. J. J. Montgomery

HUGHES ASHAMED OF FOREIGN POLICY

In Speech at Detroit, Republican Nominee Assails Administration's Foreign and Mexican Policies. Charles E. Hughes, in the first set speech of his trans-continental trip, Monday night assailed the administration vigorously for its (foreign policy, the Mexican policy, for appointing men whom he termed inexperienced, to diplomatic posts and for what he characterized as “a raid upon the civil service of the United States.” ‘‘He kept us out of war,” Mr. Hughes said, referring to the president and a diplomatic campaign slogan, “yet we seized Vera Cruz. That was war—very ignoble war. And it was called war over the bodies of those dead soldiers; it was called a war of service.

“Talk about your policy. What is the president’s policy—does anyone know? Has the executive ever had a policy for more than six months on the Mexican question? I repeat: who knows, what the .policy of the administration will be three months hence? My friends, the trouble is that the administration had written such a record that no matter what it says you do not know whether it will stick to it. We have had an exhibition during the past three years which! confess, fills me with a deep sense of shame. I have not a particle of militaristic spirit in my system, but if I am elected president I will see to, it that American rights in Mexico are respected. Mr. Hughes assailed the administration’s course toward upholding American rights abroad during the European war. “When I say that I am an American citizen,” the nominee said, “I ought to say the proudest thing that any man can say in the world. But you can’t have that pride if American citizenry is a cheap thing, if it is not worthy of protection this wide world over. There is no man who could successfully present to an American community that platform that an American citizen’s rights stop at the coast line and that beyond that American life is to be. the prey of any mauraudor that chooses to take it. The nominee called the republican platform’s declaration l that 30,000 government positions had been taken from the operation of the civil service law during the present administration and declared that “that sort of thing has got to stop.” He told of an instance where, he said “an eminent scientist in the coast and geodetic survey, a man of excellent rank,” had been displaced to make room for an excellent stock breeder and veterinary surgeon. “The federal trade commission,” Mr. Hughes characterized, “was fairly emasculated with the law by the men, for the most part, who were appointed to places upon it.” “There is one other thought I want to leave with you before closing,” said Mr. Hughes, “and that is this: Do not let us get this country into a low patriotic plane so that we are content—content with the dis-esteem, with the scoff of the world. Tam an American citizen’ ought to be the proudest title in the whole world.”

CARE FOR CHILDREN DURING HOT WEATHER

Dr. Hurty, State Health Commissioner, Gives Wholesome Advice For Children’s Care. A local physician states that children are not in near so much danger from infantile paralysis as they are from summer complaint, and other troubles resulting from improper care during the warm months of summer. Dr. J. N. Hurty, state health commissioner, gives some rules for mothers to follow in the pare of their children that we deem worthy of publication. Dr. Hurty lays down these rules: Rule 1. Children should, in all seasons, sleep in well ventilated rooms, it not only promotes healtlifullness, but also quiet and restful sleep. Rule 2. Do not coddle them; teach them to care for themselves as soon as possible and in every way possible. Rule 3. Teach them to breathe property. Deep chest breathing through the nose and not through the mouth. If your child does not breathe through its nose, see a doctor. Rule 4. Encourage outdoor life, such as games and sports, also light garden work, if possible, when they are old enough. Rule 5. Watch carefully the carriage of the child, being sure that the chest is expanded, thus throwing the shoulders back into proper position and giving the lungs room for development and free action. Rule 6. Give the children plain, simple food and plenty of it at regular hours. Lack of proper digestion causes lack of nourishment, often the beginning of a consumptive tendency; or, in other words, the likelihood to contract the disease. Rale 7. Have all the children in bed at an early hour. Insist upon regular hours of sleeping. Rule 8. Keep children’s teeth in good condition. Rotten teeth cause dyspepsia and ill health, make children dull, lowers their efficiency and makes them liable to infectious diseases. Rule 9. Teath the children to eat slowly and chew their food well. Give them plenty of pure, cool water to drink. Rule 10. Teach children their bowels must move every day and they must not put off going when they feel the necessity. By following bhe above rules much sickness among small children may be prevented.

Porter, at his home in Mount Vernon, South Dakota. His death occurred at 2 a. m. The message stated that the funeral would be held Friday. The news came as a shock to his relatives and friends here, as they had had no word that he was even ill. W. V.

On retiring from office he bougth a farm a L ttle north of Rensselaer, but continued to reside in this city. He served as deputy postmaster here a short time and was an aspirant at one time for postmaster but was not successful.

(Later he sold his farm and bought a farm near Mt. Vernon, South Dakota, moving there six or seven years ago. He leaves a wife and five children, Mary, who is unmarried, and has been living with her parents; Mrs. Will Clark, of Mitchell, South Dakota; Mrs. Emery Mills, of Muncie, Mrs. Arthur G. Skidmore, of Fenton, Mich., and Bruce Porter, Jr. Mr. Porter has made several visits back to Rensselaer since removing to the west and always received a royal welcome. He was one of those jovial persons liked by everyone and always ready to assist any one in need or any worthy abject. He lived on a farm the greater part of his life, moving to Rensselaer when he was elected recorder. His age was 64 vears.

Chicago News Says Indiana Highways Appeal to Tourists.

The Chicago Daily News of Monday contains an article praising the Indiana highways, and says in part: “Chicagoans who intend to take advantage of the opportunities offered by national touring week, which opened today throughout the United States, would do well to make their first trip over Indiana roads. Although ndiana does not offer as many scenic attractions as Wisconsin, nevertheless they offer the far more important attraction of good roads. “It is said one cannot find a twomile stretch of bad road in the whole state of Indiana, and although this is somewhat exaggerated, it is true, nevertheless, that the main routes of the Hoosier, state are models of every state in the middle west.”

Now should not this praise make you proud of the fact that you live in the Hoosier state, especially when it comes from Chicago newspaper writers, who generally take great delight in poking fun at we Hoosiers? But this praise coming from other states almost daily must not turn Indiana’s head, and let herself rest content with conditions as they now stand. It is a fact that Indiana roads today rank with the best in the United States, but how much longer will the Hoosier state bear this reputation if she sits idle and rests on present laurels? Indiana roads today are good, but they are not improving any of late, and the natural conclusion one would immediately draw, would be that if they are not improving, then they are deteriorating slightly, which is true. Indiana will have to repair her roads as soon as they start to show signs of wear if she wishes to maintain her reputation for good highways, as more work is needed to keep them in good condition than formerly, with the great increase in automobile traffic.

Miss Nettie Price, the librarian, returned from Chicago Monday, where she had been a patient in Augustana hospital for the past several weeks. She is able to be up now and is in a greatly improved condition.

TWICE PROVEN.

If you suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don’t experiment. Read this twice-told testimony. It’s Rensselaer evidence —doubly proven. 'Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St., Rensselaer, says: “I had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins that I couldn’t sleep well. I felt tired and worn-out when morning came. The kidney secretions were highly colored and I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store, and they gave me relief at once. They strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backache and gave me strength and ambition.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Hickman said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have done the same good work in the family that I described as my experience in a former recommendation. They are a fine medicine and I shall always praise them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hickman has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Race Riot In HagenbeckWallace Circus—Two May Die.

The Hagenbeck-Wallace circus which was in Rensselaer Saturday and left for Joliet, 111., Sunday morning, had a race riqt between their employes and two men may die as a result. The following account of the riot vas sent to the Chicago Tribune from Joliet:

“Two white men may die as a result of a race riot between employes of the Hagenbeck-Wallr.ce circus here tonight. The feud began this afternoon and .before tonight’s performance the circus resembled an armed camp. Pitchforks, stakes, clubs and guns were used in the battle. White men working as teamsters with the circus refused to work with negro stake drivers. The first clash came as the crowd was pouring from the afternoon show, when James O’Neil Was attacked bv three negroes. Fifty white men rushed the thirty negro stake drivers and the fight became general. Sheriff George Scholl and a posse of deputies with drawn revolvers disarmed the men and threatened the arrest of the entire gang. A white man and two negroes were arrested.
