A Mother’s Mistake A mother can make no greater mistake than to neglect cleansing baby’s mouth and nasal passages each day. Neglect endangers the child to chronic nose and throat troubk. Catarrh and adenoids are the result of such neglect. The best way to protect the child is to use GLANDO GARGLE, which cleanses the mucous membrane and kills the germs. Highly recommended for sore mouth, sore throat and will reduce adenoids. It is a splendid teething lotion. For sale by B. F. FENDIG, DRUGGIST

WILL ASK FOR AN EMBARGO ON EATABLES

A Demand Will Be Made In Congress For Legislation Preventing the Exportation of Foodstuffs. Members of the congress who have already come in for the opening of the session on December 4 are, in some instances, voicing what is evidently a somewhat widespread demand for legislation placing an embargo on the export of foodstuffs. That legislation of this character will be proposed now seems certain. That it will fail of enactment also seems equally certain. While President Wilson, so far as known, has not expressed his view with respect to such proposed legislation, members of the cabinet are authority for the statement that the country could rest assured that should congress pass ,an embargo bill the president would veto it. It seems likely that the members of congress from the city districts will, generally speaking, be inclined to favor embargo legislation, while the members from the country districts, will oppose it. The farmers of the country are, of course, opposed to any attempt to shut off the export demand for the products of the land. On the other hand, the residents of the cities who are paying extortionate prices for foods are as a rule in favor of embargo legislation. It is said by persons who are in a position to know that the subject will not be mentioned in the president’s address to the congress at the opening of the session. According to this same authority, the president feels that this question of placing an embarga on food, as well as that of placing an embargo on the shipmentof arms and munitions to the countries at war, should not be revived at all.

“GRAUSTARK”

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 22, 1916.

GRIDIRON GOSSIP.

Austin high school football team of Chicago will be the opponents of the local high school team here on Thanksgiving day. Austin is one of the four teams left in the running for the high school championship of Chicago and if they win on next Saturday they will be one of two teams left." Austin has appeared on several previous occasions, generally on Thanksgiving, and each time they gave a good account of themselves here, and the fact that them have proven themselves one of the best teams in the Windy City this year means that the red and black will not have any romp on Turkey Day. A win for the locals w’ill stamp them as good as anything that Chicago can produce in the high school line. It is too bad that Morocco or Gary could not be induced to meet Rensselaer here in the final of the season, as the game would have been sure to attract attention for miles around and would also help materially in untangling the knot that has been occasioned by the upsets of some of the leading contenders for the titular honors. The Pine Village team will meet the Pitcairn eleven of Pittsburg on next Sunday at Indianapolis. Pittcaim is regarded as one of the crack eastern eleven but Manager Rhoades will have on hand a team that should be able to stop the assault of the invaders. Pine Village has not had a very successful season from a victory standpoint, but they have met all the crack elevens of the country and at the end of the season should be rated as good as any of them. The Fort Wayne Friars and the Cincinnati Celts are the only teams that have not received setbacks. The Elyria, Ohio, team will be at Hammond next Sunday to collide with the Clabbys. Many Rensselaer people have signified their intentions of attending the Sheridan-Rensselaer game at Lafayette next Saturday morning and the Purduenlndiana game in the afternoon. On dope this year the Bloomington team should win, but Purdue generally prepares for this game more than any other and no matter how poor a season they have, they generally take the downstaters into camp.

Another Letter From Lad In European War Zone.

Another letter was received today from Fred Hamilton, who is with the English army, located at Surrey, England. The letter was written on November 8, which means that it was only thirteen days in arriving here. -Fred -states that' they expected- A move within a day or two for a new camp, where they would spend a couple of months on the largest of machine guns. Hamilton has a first; class gunner’s, or Lewis badge, which is given to those qualifying as a marksman. The badge is worn just above the cuff of the left sleeve, and any soldier who is presented with one of these feels very proud. Fred states that he expects to see all of Euorpe before he returns to the United States, and also Austrlia. Each soldier is presented with free transportation to wherever they desire to go after being discharged from the service and are also granted 160 acres of Canadian land. Fred is very much impressed with Europe and says that the scenery where he is, is very beautiful and that the roses bloom the year round, and that the old castles are covered with vines and roses. Each soldier is allowed from Saturday evening to Monday morning off and the Rensselaer youth is taking advantage of these opportunities ro pay visits to different points of interest in England. It is the general impression of the soldiers whom Hamilton is with that the war will not end before two more years. ;

Resta Takes Title When Aitken Quits for Year.

Dario Resta, Italian auto race driver, became the sole claimant of the American Automobile Association’s titleof“championdriverofAmerica,” when Johnny Aitken, of Indianapolis, his nearest rival, announced that he would not race at-the Ascot Speedway on Thanksgiving Day. % Aitken stated Tuesday night that he was leaving for the east with Howdy Wilcox, his teammate. - He said the prize money offered in the Ascot event was not tempting enough. Resta has 4,100 points for the championship title. With Aitken out of the way, there is no one remaining who can defeat him by winning the 700 points allowed the Ascot winner. This is the final contest of the year in which pqints will be allowed.

Road Supervisors Election Conies In December.

Following closely upon the Heels of the recent election comes the election of the county road supervisors throughout the state. • 'The date set for the election of the supervisors is set for Saturday, Dec. 16, at which time the district supervisors will be selected in all Indiana counties. The law’ relative to the election of road supervisors was amended in the Last year and was made to read as follows: “The qualified voters in each road distri ct of the several townships of the several counties in the state shall, on the second Saturday after the first Monday in December, 1916, and every two (2) years thereafter, elect a supervisor who shall hold his office for the term of two (2) years and until his successor is elected and qualified. Road districts shall not be held to include any part or parts of cities or incorporated towns that may be in the township in which such road districts are located. The township trustee of each township shall on or before the first Monday in December, 1916, and every two (2) years thereafter, post up or cause to be posted, in at least two (2) public places notices of an election of supervisor of such road district, giving therein the place, day and hour at which such election shall be held. The day and hour of such election shall be the same in each road district of the township. The place of such election shall, if practicable, be a school house, located in the road district. The township trustee shall act as inspector of the election, and shall name from among the qualified voters present, two clerks, who shall, if possible, not bc~ of the same political party. Such clerks, with the trustee, shall form an election board to judge of the qualifications of voters, and shall collect or receive and shall count the ballots cast.” / The trustee shall name inspectors for the districts in his township where he is not to serve anti the election boards in each other district will be made up in the same manner. The polls w’ill be open from 2 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon and the voters will vote by ballot. Each voter will write on a slip of paper the name of the man whom he desires for supervisor. After the polls close the voters will be excluded from the polling place,, except that two watchers may be allowed to remain. The votes are then counted and the tnan receiving the highest number in each district is to be declared elected. Mistakes in spelling or initials are not to be counted as making a vote void if , it was the evident intent of the voter to cast his ballot for a certain candidate. —All ballots are to be -preserved by the trustee until the following* June. The members of the election board do not draw any pay for their services. Each trustee must collect the returns in his township and certify the results to the county auditor within three days. Not more than four supervisors are allowed in any township. The supervisors are to be allowed pay at the rate of 25 cents per hour for the time actually employed and they are not allowed to work more than fifty days in one year except that in the event of the election of but one supervisor for a township, the township trustee may extend the time the supervisor may work to not more than 120 days.

Carranza Given Final Word By United States.

The American commissioners Tuesday gave the Mexicon commissioners what is believed to be the last opportunity for an amicable settlement of the problems that have arisen because of Carranza’s failure to provide adequate protection for life and property along the international border. In joint session, Secretary of the Interiar Lane informed Carranza’s representatives that the American punitive expedition would be withdrawn within a reasonable time and under conditions that would not impair the dignity of the American government or leave unprotected the territory just south of the border, now potrolled by the Americans. Incident to such withdrawal he outlined the manner in—which—the American government was prepared to guard the long line of frontier and to run down and punish any marauding band that attempted to cross into the United States.

Some of the candidates in the recent county election have filed their expense accounts with the county clerk. The candidates, whether successful or not, are required to file their accounts within thirty days after the election. Those who have so far filed their expense accounts are Edgar D. Nesbitt, county surveyorelect, $45, of which S4O went to the county committee; Jesse Nichols, clerk, spent $64.70, of which SSO was to the county committee; George W. Scott, county recorder, spent $58.65, SSO of which went to the county committee. Reuben Hess, prosecuting attorney, spent nothing; Robert J. Yeoman, democratic candidate for commissioner, spent $28.25, $lB of which was for gasoline and oil, $5 for meals and $5.25 for cards and advertising; C. A. Tuteur, for prosecutor, and Dr. Rainier, for coroner, spent nothing; A. D. Hershman, for clerk, spent $30.36, $6 of which was for cards, sll.ll for gasoline and $13.25 for meals. There are still quite a number who have not yet filed their expense accounts, but it is probable that they will all do so several days before their time is up. Fred H Beard, Charles Leavel and John Norman, all on the prohibition ticket, spent nothing.

A small fire occurred at the Remington hotel last night and caused some little alarm for a short time to the occupants, but it was soon put out with but small damage.
