A THOROUGH TEST. One To Convince the Moo* Skeptical Rtm><U*r Rtidtr* The test of time is the test that counts. Doan’s Kidney Pills have mad* their reputation by effective action. The following ease is typical. Rensselaer residents should be convinced. The testimony is confirmed—the proof complete. Testimony like this cannot be ignored. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St, Rensselaer, says: *T had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins, I couldn’t deep welL I felt tired and wornout when morning came. My kidneys were weak and I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I Anally got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store, and they strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backaches and mMa me feel fine.” (Statement given May 81, 1907). On February 29, 1916, Mn. Hickman said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have surely done good work for me. I shall always praise them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pilto—the same that Mrs. Hickman had. Forster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. W. J. Wright, the furniture dealer, went to Chicago Wednesday afternoon.

LAVISH WITH COMPLIMENTS

FELLOW EDITOR CALLS US BOYHOOD NAMES WITH SOFT ADJECTIVES. ■■■■ Black ink and white paper are mute 1 and expressionless when it comes to i thanking a fellow editor for calling us the dearly beloved name we used to hear down on the farm when we were a boy. Looie, how many times and how tender and lovingly it has been spoken and what fond recollec- I Lions It recalls. Can it be that dur I dear fellow editor means to have us, l recall those pleasant associations, and can it be that he wants to stand with I us in the same relation as our child- ■ hood friends who were so gentle and so kind? Well it makes us just a little suspicious that Babby does not love us as dearly as some of those people ibapk in the childhood days did, for with the | name we loved so much he prefixed the soft adjective “pussy-foot.” This is entirely new and no mind but that of the fellow editor’s could have an imagination so fertile and yet so distorted. It is so opposite to the impression we thought /Others had of us that we really think that Babby thought it would be considered a high compliment. On account of the fact that Babby wants to make us feel so happy and is always saying such nice things about us we did not think i t would things we really, have had in our fninds.

We did not want to call him a muck-raker and to say that his den seemed to be the rendezvous for scandie mongers, even if all the per sonal abuse and questioning of men’s honesty and unwarranted attacks upon their motives and “characters did seem to eminate from his sanctum sanctorum. He seems to have a scoop upon all the crooks and crookedness, especially of Republican officers, and could tell of the black deeds they were about to do while everyone else thought their actions and conduct we ye square and honest. Babby has an insight into men’s minds and motives that is simply miraculous. Judging by his opinion, often expressed of Republican officials, Babby believes in that old code of ethics which 'brand a mart as guilty until he proves himself innocent. Babby, who admits that be has /been the tax-payers’ friend and the only simon-pure defender of the peoples’s rights, says that Republicans should be turned out of office so that Democrats could tell whether or not they have been honest. He sounds a defiant note and says “not a Democratic officer has gone wrong in Jasper county'for the past twenty-five years.” Babby knew he had to be careful about the time limit. So honestly and efficiently has the management of public affairs been in this county that Democratic officials have been as scarce as they have been unnecessary. If violent attacks upon Republican, officials and Candidates would put Democrats in office Jasper county would long since have been as Democratic as the solid South, for Babby has not been sparing eiither in quality and quantity. -

He admits that ex-Trustee Hammerton had made full and final set- y tlement, an item which must have been conveyed to him quietly and unofficially, and one impossible to be gotten hot off of a public record, a real scoop. He asks us to tell our readers of facts and figures which must appear soon in officially certified and published reports. This is'nbt pussy-footing, but to deny it is muck-raking, that there is not a county in the state of Indiana that has a more efficient set of officers than Jasper county. That the public service rendered by the officials of this county, not just for the last twenty-five years, but since the organization of the county, will compare most favorably with any other county of the state. Itis for this reason that the county has continued steadfastly Republican in the past and will do so in the future as long as the service rendered, merits its continued confidence and the assaults of the Jasper County Democrat will continue to be regarded as harmful and by many to be born of malice and prejudice arid wholly unworthy of consideration and believed to be made under the greed for gain even at the sacrifice of men’s reputation and honor. And Babby willad mit that this expression does not sound like pussyfooting. His further comment upon th* committee sent to Indianapolis to be present at the home-coming sound like the silly bawling of a spoiled child. ' If you want some real gunning, Babby, take another shot at the rot- ■ ten mail Service, or better yet, admit /that the whole Democratic administration is the most extravagant and blundering ever known in the history of this country. Go out in the open away from the few hide-bounds mat ■ infest your office and you will find hundreds ’of disgusted with the present administration and many of their vowing that., they have voted their last Democratic ticket. ’\ : ■j--■■'A ■-.a •

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS MAKE HIT WITH A LARGE 4j AUDIENCE. The girls of the high school gave a very pleasing Red Cross benefit entertainment at the high school auditorium Wednesday night. The program was a miscellaneous one, consisting of vocal solos, instrumental numbers, readings and ending with a one-act farce entitled “Seeking a Servant.” The farce was perhaps the number which pleased most universally The scene is laid in a parlor in a New York flat with Sara Alice O’Neall as Madam Grosbinet, Elizabeth Hemphill, the daughter, and Ruth Robinsx> nas Marie, the French maid. Marie has decided to return to her native country and so Madam Grosbinet advertises for a servant. The applicants who come to the Grosbinet home for an interview are very amusing. Ruth Clark takes the part of a al American servant,. Lucille Knox as the negro, Ruth Murphy as the deaf applicant, Frances Ryan as an Irish Bridgett, Naomi Dunlap as a Chinese, Adah Lambert as an Indian, Maudie Reynolds the Spaniard, Elizabeth Yates the Turk, and Mary Elizabeth Kannal as the Jap.
