WILL TAKE CARE OF THE HOME FOLKS

Representative W. L. Wood, of Parr, Says That He Will Serve Inter—7—esta of Our People. - W. L. Wood, of Parr, Jasper couni ty’s representative in the legislature, who is taking so active a part in the assembly, in Jetters to The Republic cansays:-"" ~ ’7 Indianapolis, Jan. 23. Dear Sirs: * ' I have received from Jasper, Newton and Benton counties, signed by five thousand or more men and wemen asking that the state-wide prohibition bill do pass. I presented the petition this morning to the house add it will be spread upon the House Journal. I give you this notice that the people of Jasper county may know that their desires have been , taken care of by me. T My bill providing that it ibe unlawful to sell liquor on buffet and dining cars in the state of Indiana pass' ed the house yesterday by an overwhelming majority- The hill providing for a constitutional convention passed the house today; You may make mention of this letter through the columns of vour paper. Thanking you for past favors, I remain, Yours respectfully, > W. L. WOOD. Indianapolis, Jan. 24. Gentlemen: I very much regret to inform you that Senator Green passed away last night. The senator was a republican member of the senate from Albion, Ind. This will possibly cause an adjournment of the General Assembly at present. The law provides that in case Of death of a senator or representative, that the governor shall give a ten day notice to call a. special election to fill the vacancy. This leaves 25 democrats and 24 republicans in the senate, consequently the lieutenant-governor could not cast a deciding vote on any bill. The death of Senator Green might affect important measures very seriously- but I am not alarmed as to the actions of the democrats, as I believe that they desire Jo put over very good legislation the same as the rep 11il i,■ ans,-—J. don’t-fgrir-dhaL•politic cal lines should be drawn too closely and I hope that they will not be, as the people of Indiana are looking to the (Seventieth General Assembly for results, which we cannot give without serving our constituents regardless of their politics or their religion. Yours very truly.

RESULTS TELL. T’here Can Be No Doubt About the Result In Rensselaer. Results tell the tale. -* -- All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Rensselaer citizen can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had ? C. B. Steward, insurance man, 6. Front & Main Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I get Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally at A. F. Long’s Drug Storfe, and ■use them with very good results. I had (been subejet to serious attacks of kidney disorder before I tried them. My back for a long period was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from a heavy ache in it. Whenever I feel any signs of my kidneys not being in a good condition, I use a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they always quickly correct such disorder. In this way I keep free from the old suffering and in good health.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney same that Mr. Steward had.

In Memory.

W. X. WOOD.

We once heard ,of a Hebrew prizefighter, whose “nome de poing’ had a decidedly Hibernian tang, who between the 10th and 11th round of a middleweight championship fight sold a block of real estate to a man seated at the ringside. He had nothing on old J. Bull. During the 11 months ended November last, our imports from the United Kingdom totaled $280,000,000, or nearly $37,000,009 greater than for the 11 months ended November, 1913, nine of which were under the republican tariff law. True, cousin John 'had the /Wilson-Under-wood tariff-for-less-than-revtenue law at his back, but df he chn carry on a world war which costs him $28,000,000 a day, an-J which calls for 6,000,000 men, and still increase his sales to us by over 13 per cent under the democratic law, what do you suppose he can do in our market when his hundreds of "thousands of workmen, fit and trig, have returned to the mills, their number supplemented by nearly a million woman workers " Only the other day an English firm was able to outbid our own shell manufacturers on projectiles for the U. S. Navy, principally on account of the wide disparity between the wage scales here and in England. And yet the democratic party continues to paw over the dump in search of a little additional revenue from tea, coffee and rubber, without a thought of the revenue to ibe derived from protective rates on -manufactures or farm products. They will never wake up. The republican party will have to turn the trick.

Ostracism as Punishment For The Performance of Duty.

'Lafayette Journal. Word comes out of Washington that Congressman Will R. Wood and Mrs. Wood are being ostracized in democratic social circles, presumably because Mr. Wood introduced- the resolution demanding an ipvestigatioir of Jhepedce note leak. At a recent social function at the white house they were uninvited and it was apparent that the slight was intentional. Of course everyone, be he president or pauper, is entitled to the privilege of choosing his own company, but no upstanding Hoosier need feel, embarrassment under such circumstances. When a'json of Indiana condescends to accept an invitation to any assemblage he honors the host rather than himjelf. This' is a commonwealth of men who concede nothing of character or courage or learning or pride to any man, and attempts to punish a Hoosier congressman because he has seen fit to perform his duty merely reflects upon those responsible forydtheatbemptc;

Indiana Society to Battle The White Plague.

The Legislative committee on bills of the- Indiana Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, has embraced under two heads the things for which the committee will especially ask. The first merely corrects, an J makes workable the registration law of 1915 for the registration of living cases of tuberculosis. The second, in the form of an amendment to the county tuberculosis hospital law, provides that when two hundred citizens so petition, the people may vote.upon the matter, of establishing a county tuberculosis hospital. This amendment also encourages county hospital establishment by providing a state subsidy of $5 a week for indigent cases of tuberculosis cared for in the county hospitals. These two measures will go far toward making segregation of the tuberculous possible. . The Indiana Tuberculosis Society favors and considers offundamental importance, many other health measures now or soon to be before the legislature, especially the whole time health officer, uninhabitable house, and the compulsor" school supervision bills.

Stranger Almost Struck By An Automobile.

A traveling man, whose residence is in Monticello and who makes this city frequent visits, related a tale today on himself, which we believe is well worth repeating. The man in question is a salesman for the International Harvester Company and is > jolly good fellow. . The visitor was staying at the M..< J keever House and had just started up the street on some business. When in the middle of the crossing at the hotel comer he spied something that made him stop, look and listen. Whi'e he stood in the middle of the street transfixed, and while in this state of coma, a large foreign touring automobile swept past him, missing him but the fraction of an inch. One more step and a fatal accident would hav? been recorded. This man in question has traveled some, but a*; - mits that his gaze has never "fallen upon such a sight as he witnessed here. The sight that attracted his attention and almost caused his doom was one of our ultra fashionable young dames coming tripping down the street. The thing that first AttrArt--t>he attention of the salesman whs a pair of yellow shoes, you know the kind, boys, a.pair of those that just keep going up and up until they meet a skirt which terminates abruptly in order that they may not touch the shoe tops. Peeping »between the tops of thfe shoes and the .bottom of the skirt was About' two inches of fine green silk feminine hosiery." As the wearer of this apparel tripped on down the street the International Man stood there with his mouth open and that he had never seen anything like that in Monticello. - Owing to the prominence of the gentleman in Monticello circles, we will refrain from mentioning his name. Perhaps Ed Thacker may be able to fathom this mystery.

Bad Habits. Those who breakfast at eight o’clock or later, lunch at twelve and have dinner at six* are almost certain to be troubled with indigestion. Thsy do not allow time for one meal to digest before taking another. Not lees than five hours should elapse between meals. If you are troubled with indigestioncorrect your habits and take Chamberlain’s Tablets, and you may reasonably hope for a quick recovery. These tablets strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. For sale by B. F- Fendig. . C

NOTICE A great many people have the erroneous impression that if a piano is not played upon it does not get out of tune. Others think that it does not harm a piano to get out of tune. As a matter of fact, the finest piano in the world will not produce good music if it is out of tune, and is not in tune unless tuned once a year. There are pianos right here in Rensselaer that have been neglected so long that it is almost impossible to get them in tune, and it is highly detrimental to the musical development of any one to be guided by »n out of tune piano. ■ Out of 200 pianos I have tuned in Rensselaer and the surrounding country, I have found very few pianos zo the pitch they should ibe at.

When you do take cold take Cham- < berlain’s Cough Remedy and get rid I of it as quickly as possible. For sale by B. F. Fendig. C
