NEW SYSTEM. OF STONE ROADS IN NEWTON

Petition Calls For Four Roads With Total Length of Ten and a Half Miles.

Four petitions have been filed with the auditor asking for the establishment of four stone roads in Newton township. As they are signed by about two-thirds of the freeholders of the township, they are sure to. be built. The petitioners call for their construction under the three mile law. One road is a continuation of the east and west road \past the Catholic cemetery. It runs west to Philip Paulus’ corner, thence south past Chas. Weiss’ to the township line, a distance of two and three-souths miles.

Another road commences at the old Ben Harris place and runs north to the Kelley corner, thence west to the county line past Robert J. Yeoman’s, two and one-fourth miles. Another road commences at the stone road a half mile south of D. S. Makeever’s home place, then runs a mile north to John Bomtrager’s, thence east to the township line to John Nowels’, three miles north. The other road commences at the Curtis Creek bridge on the Mt. Ayr road, runs two miles north and onehalf mile west to the county line, making in all ten and one-half miles of road.

Rev. J. Budman Fleming, Minister. 9:30 Bible school v 10:45 Morning worship and sermon, subject: “Fishers of Men.” 7:30 Evening worship and sermon, subject: “Thirsting for God.” “If I was not with you in person I was with you in spirit.” That has been used as an excuse for absence from church and a quieting potion for conscience but it is a poor substitute for personal presence. Spirits do not make up congregations and when one can be there in the body and is not he might as well keep his spirit at home with him.

Home Economics Club Visits St. Joseph’s.

Through the courtesy of Mrs. Mary E. Drake, the Home Economics Club was invited to visit the culinary department of St. Joseph’s college in the interest of the club. Accordingly about 35 members assembled at the home of Mrs. George Meyers and were conveyed by automobiles to the college. \ We were met in the reception room by Father Wagener, who secured for the party the services of Father Stormhaur, who very kindly ed us to the kitchens, where we met Sister Agatha. We were shown through the kitchens and larders, where our attention was called especially to the fa t of the amount of labor being done in the care and feeding of several huridrcd persons with ease and no confusion and comparatively # few helpers. And this being done by the excellent systejn accompanied by a full equipment of machinery and devices, with a place for everything and everything in its place, and the idea of organized labor carried out, with everyone his work to do and doing it, this vast amount of work was being done. It is difficult and would take two much space to mention all of the good things we saw, but will mention a few of the devices for saving labor. One was the process for preparing the potatoes for cooking. A bushel or more arc placed in £ circular metal vat with rough inside surface. By a simple adjustment this is set in motion and the rolling process brings them in contact with the rough surface in such a way as to remove the outside. Then meat cutters, bread cutters, a device for slicing potatoes, an arrangement for washing dishes, where they are placed in racks and carried through several changes of hot water and emerge cleansed. A part which was very interesting to the party were the rooms where the fruit supply was stored. The canning was all done by the steaming process. We were shown a room where fruit butters were kept in stone jars and wej-e told that one thousand gallons of apple, butter was made there last year.

The laundry apparatus was on the same grand scale and * calculated to do a vast amount of work in a short time with a minimum amount of labor. Drying racks, or rollers, which were rolled hack info the drying booths were in connection with this room. In the service of the dining room was carried out the same economical plans to meet the need for labor saving. . . TTT , , Father Storm haur also conducted us to other departments of the college and seemed pleased and anxious to make our visit a pleasant occasion. We were shown through the beautiful chapel, the gymnasium, library, etc. The grounds were beautiful, evidently with a thought toward the comfort and pleasure of the boys. We departed feeling the time had been profitably spent and very grateful for the courtesy and consideration shown us. —A Member.

BACKACHE IS DISCOURAGING

But Not So Bad If You Know How To Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a constant backache. Lame when you awaken, pains pierce you when you bend or lift. It’s hard to work or to rest. Backache often indicates bud kidneys. Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this case: : Mrs. 0. R. Lewis, Rensselaer, say■s’ “I suffered a great deal from a* dull pain in my back, especially when I got up or down or in any way bent my back. I was also miserable with a throbbing ache in the back of my head. I often felt confused and dizzy. My kidneys acted irregularly and the secretions were unnatural. Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got at A. F. Lpng’s Drug Store, quickly corrected the trouble and put me in good health.” Pried 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Lewis had. Foster-Milburd 0., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

E. church of Peru show that Mr. Nicoles was a trustee of the church in 1836, so it is known that he has been a member of the M. E. church for at least 80 years. The records of the Masonic lodge, show that he was made a Master Mason in Miami, No. 67, in 1843, which means that he has been a member of the Masonic order for at least 73 years.

A temporary band stand had been erected in the northwest corner of the court house yard in order to accommodate the two bands.

Mnay Wolcott people followed their band to this city last evening and it is prob&ble that quite a number from here will go to Wolcott this evening.
