THE GREAT MEET (IT THE SPEEDWAY
(From Forward, the Magazine of the Commercial Club, Indianapolis.)
Rheims is a town in Franc.:. A year ago, the chances are, you would have bern stumped by the question: "What is 'Rheims?" Today every school child knows the answer. Evidently something happened at Rheims last year. Yes, something did. For two weeks the eyes of the world turned to Rheims. Men in every walk of life—women and children as well— locked to Rheims. Those fortunate Americans who could afford it journeyed to Rheims. Europeans, similarly fortunate, arrived there first Enormous crowds gathered at Rheims vast sums of money were spent there and received the best advertising of any city since the advent of the modern newspaper and its world-wide news facilities.
What was going on at Rheims? Men were flying around in the air. They dashed, surried, wheeled and circled. An aerial race course was theirs, while below the crowds cheered at man's definite conquest of the air. All the world watched at a distance as the aeroplanes made history.
The same thing is going to be repeated here during the month of June, 1910, and Rheims will not have all the glory. The dates set for the events are the week of the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th. Does Indianapolis approve of it? Well, rather! The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, that progressive organization that is making the name of Indianapolis famous, will spend $95,000 for this meet, the first licensed meet ever run in the world. Los Angeles, with four machines that flew' Rheims, with seven machines that flew, will have to take a back seat. The Wrights will have a team of their flyers of from five to eight machines. Other aviators will be licensed to fly at the Meet, so that from ten to fifteen machines should be in the air. Other cities tried for this Meet they made big bids for the first Meet to be held in the United States during the year 1910, Indianapolis landed it. Every man in Indianapolis should stand behind the Speedway. Be interested— show your interest—be active—co-op-erate. Do you want the Aeroplanes? Do you want to make Indianapolis the most important city in the world for a whole week? Get up and shout it—YES!
TIS SAID TUCKER IS IN CANADA
Missing Poultry Dealer Who Left
Numerous Creditors Behind Can
Not Be Found.
Bert Postmon, who is employed by Joe Johnson of Gwynneville, the man who recenty took over the poultry business of the missing John Tucker, figured in a costly runaway Friday afternoon at that place. Postman was driving a dray on which were piled a great many cases of eggs for shipment and the horse he was driving scared at a train and started to run away. A few sharp turns of corners caused a majority of the cases to slip off the dray and about $50 worth of the hen fruit was ruined.
Tucker, whom Johnson succeeded, disappeared from his place of business some time ago, leaving numerous creditors, among them, it is said, Tom Nye, of this city. Concerning Tucker, the Rushville American says: "The Gwynneville merchant who disappeared from his place of business recently, cannot be located by detectives. A rumor is about that Canada was his destination. One of the creditors has charge of his affairs and a settlement is proposed as between themselves."
A Woman's Great Idea
is how to make herself attractive. But without health, it is hard Rfor her to be lovely in face, form or temper. A weak, sickly woman will be nervous and irritable. Constipation and Kidney poisons show in pimples,blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. But Electric Bitters always prove a godsend to women who want health, beauty and friends. They regulate Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, purify the blood give strong nervers, bright eyes, pure breath, smooth, velvety skin, lovely complexion, good health. Try them. 50c. at M. C. Quigley's.^

BEWARE OF THE DANGEROUS FLY
Diseases of the Worst Character Fol
low the Tracks of This Little
House Pest.
Dr. C. A. Barnes, of this city, is one among the many who are deeply interested in the organized efforts being made to minimize the direful results of the housefly's tracks over the things the people eat. Dr. Barnes talks interestingly and convincingly of the awful diseases spread by this little pest, and said that if he had the means he would mail to every person in Hancock county a card containing, among other facts, the following:
In every town and locality in the State many people have failed to heed the numerous" warnings that uave been issued against flies. Attention has been called to the fact that they are one of the most dangerous menaces to the life and health with which mankind has to contend, being responsible for a large proportion of all cases of typhoid fever and diarrhoeal diseases of infants and many cases of tuberculosis and other contagious diseases.
They have caused thousands of deaths and will continue their work of destruction until the public awakens to the fact and inaugurates a warfare that will result in their extermination.
This can be accomplished definitely and effectively. It requires only the removal of filth. Flies breed in filth and in filth alone. Without filth there can be no flies. More than nine per cent of them breed in stable manure and the balance in garbage, outhouses and other forms of refuse.
The fly season is approaching. Prompt action at this time may prevent many deaths during the summer and fall and a grave responsibility rests upon all health officers and other citizens.
An immediate and thorough cleaning of premises should be effected and further accumulations of filth avoided. Stable manure should be kept in vaults or boxes screened or frequently sprinkled with lime or kerosene and should be removed once a week.
Garbage receptacles should be carefully covered and the contents sprinkled with lime or oil.
Privy vaults should be made flyproof and their contents frequently sprinkled with lime.
In addition to the measures for the prevention of the breeding of flies every effort should be made to prevent them from entering the house or having access to milk and other foods.
All doors and windows, especially those of the kitchen and dining room, should be screened.
Food exposed for sale should be screened and ordinances to this effect should be enacted and enforced.
Flies should be especially kept away from the sick and if one is discovered in the sick room it should be killed.
People who have cleaned their own premises should demand that their neighbors should do likewise and notify the board of health of any failures or refusals.
The saving of life and suffering will amply repay for all the trouble and pxpense.
Either man must kill the fly or the fly will kill the man.
Wants To Help Some One. For thirty years J. F. Boyer, of Fertile Mo., needed help and couldn't find it. That's why he wants to help some one now. Suffering so long himself he feels for all distress from Backacke, Nervousness, Loss of Appetite, Lassitude and Kidney disorders. He shows that Electric Bitters wonders for such troubles. "Five bottles," he writes, "wholly cured me and now I am well and hearty." It's also positively guaranteed for Liver Trouble, Dyspepsia, Blood Disorders, Female Complaints and Malaria.

TARGET OF NEW HEALTH EFFORT
Affliction Is to Be Fought by
Authorities Who Will Seek
Legislative Action.
EXHIBIT IN STATE HOUSE
Pictures Showing Cases] Where Pre
vention Was Possible*at Birth
Are Being Shown.
The State Board of Health is teaching the people how one-third of the blindness in Indiana can be prevented. Ail exhibit is presented in the north corridor of the Statehouse, on the Jmain floor. It will continue several days. Charts, pictures and printed warnings, instructions, formulas and interesting statistics'are displayed for the consideration of the public.
The next legislature in Indiana will be asked to pass a law making it a criminal offense for a physician or for a mid-wife to neglect the eyes of newborn Indiana babies.
Infant Welfare Negrlected.
"The doctors tell us many times the parents of the baby do not ask or require them to return and follow the infant's welfare," says Dr. J. N. Hurty, health commissioner, "but we feel quite sure that if the law proprovided a penalty for failure to go back and see to the eyes of the little one the doctor and the mid-wife would go, and their duty would be done as it should be done, whether the parents of the baby desired the extra expense or not. "Two drops of one oer cent solution of silver nitrate, placed in the eyes of the new baby, will do the work. Two minutes of time put in at such a light duty may mean 70 years of darkness saved for a human being may mean the brightness of the world and of a full life preserved instead of blighted for one human. Two cents for protection at birth may mean $10,000 saved.
One Case Cost $12,000. "Here's a New York case," went on the doctor, pointing to the photograph of an aged blind man, "that has cost the state $12,000 for support. This man is 70 years old. He has never seen light. When he grew to manhood there was no such thing as training for the blind. When progress had provided self-support for blind persons this man was too old to learn. He is a helpless charge. 'There is no possible excuse for such cases today. In the first place, it was found, 1881, blindness could be prevented, or at least one-third of all blindness by proper care at birth. In Indiana the state can be saved thousands and thousands of dollars by the operation of a law requiring the responsible persons to take measures against blindness among infants.
Neglect is Cause.
4
'The preventable causes of blindness are caused by infection, by neglect of diseases, by neglect of injuries and by wrong treatment. It is not too much to say the neglectful physician who fails to guard a child against blindness would be more watchful if he knew the parents could come on him for damages under the law if he knew he might be forced to pay for the support of the child he "had permitted to lose its sight, or if he knew he might be called to answer in a criminal court for his neglect."
In the corridor exhibit is a picture of a handsome lad whose eyes are pitifully blank and useless. The motto says the boy's eyes could have been saved by two drops of a 1 per cent, solution of silver nitrate.
Saving is Enormous.
There are many other suggestive pictures. One of these shows the pupils in the New York School for the Blind, and it is stated the use of preventives at birth would have meant in this school alone a saving of $30,000 a year to the state alone by saving the sight of one-third of the doomed children. "I hope all persons [who are interested in saving money for the state and who desire to promote human happiness will call and see the exhibit," says Dr. Hurty. "Now that science has pointed out how to prevent blindness, it is a serious sin of neglect for the government not to do it. "We expect to have the public with us in our effort to obtain needed legislation on this subject. We believe the people will be with us when they understand what we are trying to do, and what the true situation is. They will be interested on the humanitar-

A Storekeeper Says:
"A lady came into my store lately and said: 'I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove all winter in my apartment. I want one now for my summer home. I think these oil stoves are wonderful. If only women knew what a comfort they are, they would all have one. I spoke about my stove to a lot of my friends, and they were astonished. They thought that there was smell and smoke from an oil stove, and that it heated a room just like any other stove. I told them of my experience, and one after another they got one, and now, not one of them would give hers up for five times its cost.'"
The lady who said this had thought an oil stove was all right for quickly heating milk for a baby, or boiling a kettle of water, or to make coffee quickly in the morning, but she never dreamed of using it for difficult or heavy cooking. Now—she knows.
Do you really appreciate what a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to you No more coal t» carry, no more coming to the dinner table so tired out that you can't eat. lust light a Perfection Stove and immediately the heat from an intense blue flame shoots up to the bottom of pot, kettle or oven. But the room isn't heated. There is no smoke, no smell, no outside heat, no drudgery in the kitchen where one of these stoves is used.
