Are You One of Them? There are a great many people, who would be very much benefited by taking Chamberlain’s Tablets for a weak or disordered stomach. Are you one of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Baldwinsville, N. Y., relates her experience in the use of these tablets: “I had a bad spell with my stomach about six months ago, and was troubled for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chamberlain’s Tablets. I took a bottle home and the first dose relieved me wonderfully, and I kept on taking them until I was cured.” These tablets do not ' relieve pain, but after the pain has been relieved may prevent its recurrence.

ELLA ELLIS PERFIELD.

After spending a greater part of the winter in New York and establishing her method of music teaching in that city, Ella Ellis Perfield has just completed a summer term in her school in Chicago, with a heavy enrollment of teachers from all parts of the United States. On the closing day there, July 27, at 4 p. m., Mrs. Perfield gave a musical talk and demonstration of her principles in Rensselaer at the Presbyterian church, to»a select audience who showed a deep interest in her work, after which she returned to Chicago to rest a few days before her summer school opens in Asheville, N. C., August 12. From there she will return to New York to assume her duties through the winter. Emphasizing previously reiterated statements, Mrs. Perfield in her talk at Rensselaer, spoke of ear, eye, and touch development, not alone in music, but also with reference to every kind of education. She believes' that ear and eye must be trained absolutely and that touch finishes the trinity of possibility. She also believes through training means that you must see and feel with the ear, you must hear and feel with the eye, and you must touch with'the eye and ear. “True feeling,” says Mrs. Perfield, “comes through the ear and eye, but it must be balanced by reasoning, then enhanced by drills.” “Anything is right to you,” continued this careful thinker, “so long as you absolutely believe it, or until you outgrow it. Give every one a careful hearing, test every statement made to you, but be yourself first and last, and change your plans and methods only when you are convinced of something beitter.”

C. Austin Haas came today from Lafayette and continued on to Gary this afternoon, accompanied by his sister, .Miss Fame, and tomorrow will return arid be joined by his'wife and two children for an over Sunday visit with his relatives.

TEE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAKING. A hybird variety of wheat developed by the Indiana experiment station yielded 6.7 bushels per acre more than the variety already used on the farm in a wheat variety trial conducted by Henry and Louis Toben, of Jordan township. Last fall these young men planted nine plots of one twentieth acre each, eight from different varieties of seed supplied by the experiment station and one from their own. These plots were laid out on level sandy loam soil, which had been manured, plowed and harrowed. The wheat was sown on September 25th. No fertilizer was used. The following results were secured: Bushels Variety. P er 1- Ball-2-v ........... 28.0 2- 56a1-l-2 .... ...,. • • 26.3 Beardless Winter Fife ..*.... 28.0 4- Amber 23.0 5- Rock 26.3 6- Reg 111-12-2-1 28.0 7- 66-2-2 b 29.7 8- •• • • 26.3 0-Own Variety 23.0 In this trial, Michigan Amber was used as a standard as it is known to be one of the best yielding wheats grown in the state. It will be seen that this was outyielded in every case, with the exception of the old variety raised on the farm. O—O Practical Wheat Conservation. By spending an hour and one half in raking a twelve acre wheat field after the threshers had finished, Julius Huff, living between Remington and Rensselaer, gleaned enough loose heads to thresh out nine bushels of wheat. “If every farmer would rake his wheat fields this year, we could save more wheat in this county than by the strictest household economy of flour,” says Mr. Huff. If every acre of wheat land in the county will produce as much loose wheat as each acre on Mr. Huff’s farm, our farmers will be able to gather 9,600 bushels of wheat from the rakings worth nearly $20,000. It is worth the trouble? O" "O Farmers’ Club Meetings. An interesting program has been arranged by the Milroy Farmers club to be held at the Milroy church Saturday evening, August 3rd. Come and bring your family. The Gillam Farmers’ club will meet Wednesday evening. August 7. Besides the program published last week, an extension speaker will give an interesting talk on an interesting subject. On account of the dedication of the new Fair Oaks school house, the North Union Farmers’ club has been postponed until Saturday evening, August 10th. Make your plans accordingly. - Z o—o

RECORD OF THE PAST.

No Stronger ’ Evidence Can Be Had In Rensaelaer. Look well tq their record. What they many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone witht a bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement. Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble. I had backaches and headaches for a long time, I had no strength or ambition and couldn’t sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed on account of the lameless in my back. 1 couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all those ailments. I have never had an attack since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore said: “I am never without Doan’s in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— -get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Moore had. Foster-Milburn C 0.7" Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
