READ WHAT TO DO TO FIGHT THE “FLU.” Don’t wait until you get the ‘‘Flu.’’ Do the things that will prevent it. The “Flu” like many diseases, get’s a start from an infected throat. The deadly germs are inhaled through the nose or mouth and take seat in a sore or infected throat. Thus the value of a good throat gargle, something to expel these germs. Such a remedy should be used daily, during this epidemic, not* only to prevent the “Flu,” but pneumonia, coughs and colds. Many cases of the “Flu” like pneumonia, are the out-growth of a cold. Colds are ofttimes treated too lightly, some believe in “wearing a cold out,” when in reality it usually wears the patient Out, leaving them weak, run-down and quite susceptible to all contagion, especially the “Flue” and Pneumonia. “Flu” Preventive* For All. One of the best known throat gargles or sore-throat remedies used in preventing the “Flu” , was discovered during the “Flu” epidemic of last year. It is especially compounded to prevent the “Flu,” Pneumonia and Coughs and Colds and is another of the famous Dr. McCrfllus Products.

COL. E. P. HAMMOND, CIVIL WAR COLONEL, EXPIRES.— FUNERAL HERE THURSD’Y — In the death of Edwin Pollok Hammond, which occurred at his home in Lafayette at nine o’clock Tuesday morning, one" of the eminent soldiers, lawyers and jurists of the state has gone to the beyond. With his passing the book of life is closed on the career of a man whose deeds during the civil war will forever remain a source of pride and comfort to Jasper county. His service among the solof the county ranked second only to that of General Robert H. Milroy.

Colonel Hammond had been in poor, health for many weeks and his condition had grown weaker day by day and his many friends thruout the state have long been apprehensive. His death was none the less a severe shock to his, many admirers and fellow citizens. Colonel Hammond was born in Brookville in the year 1835 and in 1849 he accompanied his family to Columbus; In 1854 he went to Indianapolis where he clerked in a store for a short time and then entering upon the study of law in the office of his brother, Abraham A.' Hammond, afterwards governor of the state. In 1857 he was graduated from the law department at Asbury university, Greencastle, with the degree of B, L. In 1892 Judge Hammond was the recipient of the honorary degree of LL. D. from Wabash college. In 1858 Judge Hammond came to Rensselaer to practice his profession and soon acquired a considerable practice. *

Judge Hammond was thus engaged wh’en Fort Sumpter was fired upon in April, 1861, and fired with the patriotic enthusiasm of the hour, with other young men of Jasper county, he left his business and enlisted for three months’ service under Captain (afterwarfis General) Robert H. Milroy, in Company G. Ninth Indiana volunteer infantry. He was commissioned first lieutenant and served with the regiment during the three months’ campaign in Virginia. Colonel Hammond was elected, without opposition, in October, 1861, to fill a vacancy as representative from the counties of Jasper, Newton and Pulaski. He then realized that the war was a serious affair of - long standing and that his place was in the army. Consequently in August, 1862, he assisted m organizing Company A, Eighty-sev-enth Indiana volunteer infantry and went out as captain 'of that company. He was promoted to major of his regiment in March, 1862, and became a lieutenant colonel the following November. At.the close of the war on the recommendation of his brigade, he was brevetted colonel of the U. S. volunteers for ‘gallant and meritorious service during the war,” as recited in his commission. Colonel Hammond was in command of his regiment during the last year of the war, embracing the Atlanta campaign, the “march to the sea” and the campaign through the Carolinas leading up to Johnson’s surrender. He was mustered out of the service with his regiment at Washington, D. C., June, 1865, and then returned to Indianapolis where he received the thanks of Indiana’s famous war governor, Jas.

In 1864 the regiment was in the expedition against Dalton and skirmished at Buzzards roost. On May 7 it joined Sherman’s amy in its famous campaign against Atlanta, also taking part in the pursuit against Hood through northern The* regiment then returned to Atlanta and engaged in the Savannah campaign and the “marte to the engaging . Waynesboro and the siege « savannah.

office in November, 1878, without opposition, all parties carrying his name upon their tickets. In 1883 he was appointed. by Governor Porter, justice of the supreme court of the state and served' until January of 1885. He then resumed the practice of law in Rensselaer and continued in' the successful prosecution of the same until November, 1890, when he was again honored by election to the bench of the Thirtieth judicial court. He resigned from the.bench in 1892 and moved to Lafayette, where he continued the practice of law. - Colonel Hammond never forgot his comrades in arms and was an enthusiastic member of the G. A. R. Many were the times that' he alluded to his Jasper county comrades, and always he expressed keen regret when informed of the passing of one of his command, relating some incident which showed that he clearly recalled the characteristics of the men who served under him. Besides his widow he is survived by three daughters, Miss Nina Hammond, of Lafayette, and Mrs. W. B. Austin and Miss Jean Hammond, of Chicago, and two grandchildren, Mrs. Virginia Shayne, of Chicago, and Nathaniel Horner of New York.

SWINDLE PICTURE MAT NOT BE SHOWN

——— ■ i "T /' “The Racket,” which w» been the name of a motion picture of the story of the fake P>os fight swindles that brought Muncie into unpleasant notoriety receiitly ' and resulted in the conviction of Bollin HL Bunch, mayor, and Horace G. Murphy, prosecuting attorney, will not be produced—at least not just now. Publicity, so much courted by the theatrical profession everywhere, in this instance has been the cause of the indefinite postponement. When the news of the proposed picture was first made public, the women of Muncie became indignant that anybody should seek to exploit through films the disgrace ths city had suffered and local churches and club women passed resolutions of condemnation and took preliminary Stans to prevent any attempt that might be made to show such a pictßMU But this was not the only cause for the abandonment of the project for the time being, for in some cases even in the convicted men who pleaded guilty, turned state’s evidence and were released with light penalties, have other indictments hanging over them that are not likely to be pushed if they walk “the straight and narrow.” but that might easily be brought out and dusted off if they do not
