READ PAPERS; SAW MEANS TO BIG SUCCESS

MR. SHERMAN WANTS SKEPTICS TO CALL UPON HIM FOR EXPLANATION OF TRUTONA. Indianapolis, Ind., March 4.—Mr. John S. Sherman, of 950 North Pennsylvania Street, for twentythree years connected with the U. S. Civil Service and whb, in that time, has made mundreds of friends, makes the following testimony regarding the remarkable relief that he gained from Trutona. Numbers will be glad to hear and learn of his experience. “I have been troubled with catarrh of the stomach for several -years,” he said recently while speaking of his relief. “My liver was in bad condition, too. In fact my whole system was generally run down. I’ve never been much inclined to take medicines, but I tried several different kinds, anyway. They didn’t help me much and finally I stopped using medicines altogether. Later, though, I became so nervo.us and restless that I knew I’d come down sick if I didn’t do something. “In looking over the paper one day I read about Trutona. I decided to try a bottle because it seemed to be a good medicine. Only a few days after starting I began to notice the good effects. Now I know that Trutona has put my stomach into good condition. My liver is no longer sluggish and inactive either. If anyone is still skeptical about Trutona they can call me up or they can come to my house and I will be glad to explain to them the good Trutona did me.” Trutona is now being introduced and explained in Rensselaer by Larsh and Hopkins, druggists.

Alma Stiers went to Pullman, Hl., today. Howard Speaks and Mrs. Belle McCarty were in Lafayette today. Harry Gifford, J. N. Bicknell and .. Silas Toombs went to Kankakee, 111., today.

THE WORLD IS CHANGING

to some extent. But we notice hopefully that light still follows drakness, summer follows winter, peace follows war, and death follows existence. To those who claim the world is going to the dogs we say, cheer up, you’ll soon. be dead. If you 'can’t find peace on earth, try a Frapklin. This unrest must stop. Mary said her husband was Owen Moore attention to her. So divorce follows marriage in this new world. Matrimony is not necessarily a matter-of-money but there is one sure way to keep a woman happy. Rowles & Parker have the right idea. They are buying new cars for their better looking halves. Both cars are the very latest modeled closed jobs but in order to tell them apart, one is an Oldsmobile and the other is an Essex. THOMPSON & KIRK.
