GOULD NOT EXPECT MORE Two Years’ Illness Cured by Glando The Great Gland Tonic. Mrs. Susan B. Taylor, 348 S. Williams St., Paulding, Ohio, said: “Two years’ ago T had a general breakdown. I was nervous, languid, and hardly able to drag around. My liver and kidneys were sluggish and my .complexion sallow. I felt sleepy and drowsy most all day, yet I did not sleep well at night. My heart nuttered terribly at times. I was in this miserable condition two years. A friend persuaded me to try Glando Tonic The first treatment helped me. I am taking the sixth treatment and am feeling so well that I gladly recommend Glando Tonic to any one who suffers as I did.” Nearly every case of poor health is due to inactivity of the liver, kidneys and other glands. There is enough poison produced in the body every day to cause poor health if it is not eliminated. This poison can be re- « moved only by keeping the glands in a good working condition. Some of the most common symptoms of inactive glands are, headache, dizziness indigestion, constipation, hackache, pain or ache under the shoulder blade, biliousness, tonsllitis and quinsy These conditions can be most quickly relieved by Using Glando the Great Gland Tonic. It restores the glands to action, removes the impurities and builds up the entire system. Sold only in 50-cent treatment* and guaranteed to give satisfaction. Manufactured by the Gland Aid Co., Ft.

World’s Series Teams to Play At Lafayette April 4th.

On April 4th one of the greatest baseball treats in the history of the state will be staged at Lafayette, when the Boston Red Sox, world’s champions for the season of 1916, will meet the Brooklyn Dodgers, their antagonists in the lastxworld’s series, for an exhibition game on Stuart Field, Purdue University. On account of the recent baseball war and in recognition of their indebtedness to the minor leagues the owners of these two great machines have arranged _a series of eight games to be played in minor leage towns only with the view of stimulating interest in 'baseball and to help get minor leage attractions on a paying basis. , On account of the immensity of the attraction, the Lafayette Merchants Association was anxious to secure one of the eight games for Lafayette and with the assistance of Manager Hughes of the Lafayette Red Sox succeeded in landing one. The two teams in traveling have four Pullman coaches and carry 100 in the party, including newspaper reporters from both Boston and Brooklyn.

Among those who will participate in the contest is Everett Scott, of Bluffton, who will hold down the short stop position for the Red Sox. He is the man who cost the Brooklyn team $54,000 in the world’s series last fall. At a critical period in the game when the bases were full and the batter placed a ball in a territory too difficult for the third baseman to handle it, Scott dashed around behind and made one of the greatest stops ever made in baseball, picking the ball off the ground and throwing out the runner at the home plate. To have missed the ball meant a victory for Brooklyn. Scott has played in Lafayette many times at League Park with the Bluffton team, then a member of the Northern Indiana League and his many friends and admirers in this vicinity will be glad of the opportunity to see him in action again. __ The contract with the. two clubs specifically states that only men who were eligible to play in the world’s series last fall shall participate in the exhibition. Among the manjj stars who will be there are Wheat, Merkle, Daubert and Cutshaw with Brooklyn, and Lewis, Hooper, Hoblitzel, Janvrin and Gardner with the Red Sox. The pitchers from which the batteries for the two teams will be selected for the game are Shore, Ruth, Leonard, Coombs, DelT, Foster, Cheney, Rucker, Pfeffer, Davis, Smith and iMarquard. Excursions will be run from all surrounding towns to Lafayette on that day and the merchants have arranged to close all stores at 1:30 p. m. A big crowd is expected to attend and on that account it was found necessary to hold the game on Stuart Field instead of at League Park as at first planned. It is the first time in the history of Purdue University that the field was ever given over for other than an athletic contest staged by educational institutions. Reserved seats are now on sale by the different merchants of Lafayette and may be secured by mail by writing the Merchants’ Association.

Hunters Get Two Wolves and Four Foxes In Porter Co.

Valparaiso, Ind., (March long ago several hundred farmers and sportsmen from Indiana cities gathered in Jasper county for a wolf drive. Not a wolf was killed, ibut recently a little patry of farmers living east of here spent a day in the open and accounted for two large wolves and four wolves. The large one weighed 54 pounds and the length of its skin from head to tail was six feet and eight inches. “We have been out hunting for the last three winters,” one of the men said in an interview. “In the winter of 1915 we had the luck to get 17 foxes. In 1916 we got 15 and in the recent winter six foxes were killed/’ In conclusion the hunter said: “We are all farmers, but are safe in saying that we can catch any fox or wolf that runs on the face of the earth.”

Poultry In the Back Yard.

Washington, D. C.—From 12 to 25 hens are sufficient to provide the ordinary family with enough eggs and meat to render the keeping of the birds worth while, according to poultry specialists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The amount of outdoor space the flock will require may be estimated at about 25 square feet for each bird. There are instances in which chickens have thrived with much less than this, but unless the soil is especially favorable and the birds receive unusually good care,- crowding is likely to prove unprofitable. Unless there is a natural interest in poultry or a determination to make the flock a source of real economy even if it does take time and trouble, the venture is not likely to prove successful. Lack of care may result in disease that will sweep off the entire flock and it is almost certain to caues a reduction in egg production that will make the birds a burden instead of a help. In some localities where municipal ordinances may prohabit the keeping of poultry within certain limits, care should be taken that the poultry yard is not in a proscribed area.

14 REGIMENTS OF EASTERN GUARD CALLED

Wilson Acts to Place Nation On Warr Basis—Order Navy Recruited to Its Full War Strength. Washington, March 25.—President Wilson took steps today to place the nation on a war footing. By executive order he directed that the navy be recruited without delay to full authorized war strength of 87,000 enlisted men. Taken in connection with emergency naval construction already ordered, this means that the president had exercised the full limit of his legal powers as commander-in-chief to prepare the navy for war. For the. army, the president directed that two new military departments tye created in the Atlantic coast* region. The order means that the task 'of organizing whatever army congress may authorize will be divided among six department commanders instead of four, in the interests of speed and efficiency in mobilization.— — -

The third step was to assume as a national duty the task of protecting American industries from domestic disorders in the event of hostilities. For this punpose eleven full infantry regiments, two separate and one separate company of national guard were called back into the federal service to act as national police in important districts. (Supplementing these troops, a regiment of Pennsylvania guard and two companies of Georgia infantry, enroute home from the border for muster out, were ordered retained in the fedral service.

The president’s orders were made known in terse official statements issued by the state department. No explanations accompanied them except the statement that reorganization of the military department, effective May ll,_was designated to facilitate decentralization of command. The navy must enroll immediately approximately 26,000 men to reach the required strength. Secretary Daniels supplemented it tonight with personal telegrams to newspaper editors all over the country, urging them to aid the department in every way in their power to obtain the men. The war department statement folIbWSi “Many states have deemed it advisable to call out the national guard for police purposes of protection. As the necessity for such steps arises from ’ issues which are more national than local, it has been deemed advisable by the president to call into federal service for the above mentioned purpose several organizations of guards.

Cousin of Major Healey May Be Among Healdton Dead.

In the list of the dead which was published following the sinking of the American 'boat, the Healdton, bv a German submarine in the European war zone, was that of George Healey, .of. San Francisco, Cal. It is nrobable that Healey was a cousin of Major George H. Healey,, of this city, although it is not certain, yet circumstances would indicate that this was the case. Charleg Healey and family lived in California for some years prior to the death of both Mr. and Mrs. Healey, blit no word has ever been received by Major Healey relative to the whereabouts of the children and it is presumed that thev still make California their home. Healey was; listed as acook on the Healdton. Ellis Jones, of Remington, has ibeen appointed administrator of the estate of the late John A. Millman.

Lazy Husband Act Now In Force—Better Watch Out.

The lazy husband law, which carries with it a fine and sentence at the state penal farm upon conviction, is still in force and many of our exchanges show that it is being adhered to pretty vigorously by other towns. This act was passed in 1915. The extreme penalty is SSOO fine and six months’ imprisonment. ’‘Any man having under his care a wife or minor children, or both, and failing to pnvide food, shelter, clothing and medical attention for them is subject to the consequences. An offender may be fined and his jail sentense suspended for two years, but after a step from the straight and narrotv path he can be put back to work on the streets or roads of the county and his earnings turned over to his dependents. There should be no excuse for anyone in Rensselaer having the authority of this law exercised upon him, for at the present time thei£ is more work than at any other time in the year and -everyone who tries can get work of some kind. Spring cleaning is here and many are unable to get help. Anyone failing to provide for his family when there is so much work should receive the benefit of this law as a lesson to some with whom work is a stranger.
