Women's Secrets

TILE PARALYSIS.

MUST QUARANTINE THE CASES

And Report Immediately To State Board—Formulates a Set of Rules Governing Action of the Physicians In

Every Case.

The State Board of Health is sending out through secretary Dr. J. N. Hurty copies of the Bulletin just issued on infantile paralysis. It is feared that infantile paralysis will become epidemic in the state, and the State Board expects to make an exhaustive study of the disease, as it has been commanded to do by the Legislature. By paying strict attention to the matter the physicians of the county may greatly aid the State Board and also confer a blessing on the people of the State of Indiana.

For the purpose of carrying out this law concerning the study of this disease the following additional rules have been adopted by the State Board of Health:

Rule 1. It shall be the duty of the attending physician to immediately report each and every case of Epidemic Poliomyelitis to the health officer having jurisdiction, giving the name, age and place of residence of the patient. Cases occurring without incorporated cities or towns should be immediately reported to the county health commissioner. Cases occurring within incorporated cities and towns shall be immediately reported to the health officers of such incorporated cities and towns.

There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more .women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their expectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- million women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.

tjounty health commissioners and all city and town health officers, whenever a case of Epidemic Poliomyelitis shall come to their notice, to immediately quarantine the same according to the law and the rules, and immediately report the same to the State Board of Health at Indianapolis, by mail, telegraph, or telephone, at the expense of the State Board.

Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without charge. All replies are mailed, sealed*in perfectly plain envelopes, without any printing or advertising whatever, upon them. Write without fear as without fee, to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R. V. Pierce, Prest., Buffalo, N. Y.

Potato Crop Short.

The potato crop, it is claimed, will lie short, owing to continuous dry weather at the time when rain was needed to mature the crop. In the Michigan potato districts the crop is said to be short. New potatoes are selling on the local market at $2.60 per bushel. Last year's crop is selling at $1.60 per bushel.

The new water well sunk atRushville is a success, but the water has a strange and unpleasant taste and odor and is discolored. It is now thought to be due to the close proximity of an abandoned gas well near the new well. The gas well will be plugged.

Dear Mr. Editor: It has been long since your readers were afflicted with my rantings, and with the temperature at 100 in the shade, their lethargy might in a measure prevent any violent act on their part should "Old Scribe" again put in an appearance.

I want to descant just a little on some things as they appeared to your deponent as he again roamed the hills of old Fayette county, and viewed for the first time in many years, the scenes that delighted the eye and heart of my boyhood, as I took divers fishing and berrying excursions up and down old White Water, beyond doubt, the most beautiful and picturesque stream in Indiana. I went rambling the other day with some friends up the stream north of Connersville, up to "Waterloo" and sat and fished where I and other boys sat and fished almost forty years ago. The same great white pebbly gravel and sand bars seemed to lie there as they did in days of yore, and the willowy banks presented the same inviting appearance. The old bridges, however, have *s

Then the shiners' nests and wading boys on the rocky riffles annihilated the span of years that stretched between then and now, and impelled me to join in their sport, it seemed so natural. Then the many swimming holes, with their burden of small swimmers and some larger ones, as they disappeared and came up again and the shout of their companions as they in contemplation enjoyed the sport even before the scanty clothing could be removed.

by, even while I waited Then Connersville, a factory town of almost 10,000 situated on both sides of the White Water, with a long Kennedy wooden truss bridge spanning the stream between. When I was a little boy Hon. A. M. Kennedy, well known to our politicians of those days, and remembered by many now, was the head of the Kennedy Bridge Co. "Built by A. M. Kennedy & Sons^' greets the entrance at each end'of those famous bridges throughout that section, and in fact all over Indiana. The one in question, however, has the name of E. L. Kennedy, he having succeeded his father in the business. This bridge is about 100 yards long and about 25 or 30 feet above the water. A beautiful view is had of the gentle river for miles north. when on the bridge. Steel bridges have taken the place of wooden ones, but I doubt if they will really outlast the ones built by the Kennedys.

I, ihtfompanied by mj daughter,

Mrs. Wm. Fitz, walked to East Connersville and called on Dr. C. A. Robinson, who was quite sick at the home of his daughter Mrs. Cora Sherry. He had been on an extended lecture tour, and had overworked in the hot weather.

East Connersville, unlike many suburbs of the kind, looks as though it was a part of the original city, but it is not. It enjoys all the conveniences of the main city, and lying along the east bank of the river, commands a fine view of the river valley. Many nice homes, as well as neat stores, are located there.

Connersville, proper, is an ideal county seat, with fine streets, magnificent churches, five or six railroads, almost sixty miles from Indianapolis, consequently not hurt by close proximity. Hon. Finley Gray has begun the erection of an elegant residence, and others are in course. I did not get to meet Hon. D. W. McKee, but I knew that he was at his post and boosting for Connersville, which seems to be characteristic of all citizens there. Uncle Sam dedicated the fine new postoffice building on the night I was there, and the denizens turned out enmasse to view the interior of the beautiful structure, which is built on the plan of most buildings of its kind, ornamented and trimmed with marble and brass, and is certainly a thing of beauty. A gentleman told me that Connersville stood unique as a factory town, in that local capitalists own the factories, and are not interested in getting what they can out of the community, then seeking other haunts, or towns, to conquer. They own fine homes and enter into the spirit of progress in every way possible A commercial club of 300 members gets things done. They never permit an invention by a local resident that has merit to leave their city. Many articles of practical utility are being made in Connersville that were productions of local inventive genius.

Just at this time Greenfield can boast of one of the most practical and useful inventions of any city in the state, and if Fayette capital had it they would have it manufactured in a fortnight. I refer to the Spangler air-lift pump, which puts all competitors out of commission wherever tried. The inventor, W. F. Spangler, wrought this simple device while water works superintendent here. All the city's wells are now supplied with them, and no county seat can boast of a more abundant or better supply of good water than Greenfield.

Connersville has twelve or fifteen factories of different kinds, and all owned by local capital, and no graft of any kind has been attempted in the placing of any of them. Space forbids the naming of all of them, but the McFarland Auto Company,

Many nice residences adorn the driveways on the elevation, and pretty lawns and flower gardens were on every hand. It is an ideal little city, full of push and enterprise, and its progress is worthy of emulation by others who desire to make a showing on the map. Old Scribe.

BUTTERMILK AS A

The Idea of Selling Buttermilk a Few Years Ago Would Have Been Laughed At.

Buttermilk is fast coming to the front as a refreshing and satisfying summer drink, and it sells readily in fact, so readily that the supply is exhausted almost as soon as it is put on the market. Only a few years ago large quantities of it were fed to hogs or poured out as worthless and people would have laughed at the idea of selling it, and for five cents a glass at that. Now, however, it finds a ready sale, the demand far exceeding the supply.

The Brown Creamery disposes of large quantities of it and cannot nearly supply the demand, and it is served at fountains and also in many saloons. A great deal is brought in by farmers, who have regular customers and they sell much more if they had it, at ten to fifteen cents a gallon.-

PARTIALLY ARRANGED AT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING HELD HERE

ON MONDAY.

LOOKING AFTER TEACHERS

Is the Order of the Day With the Trustees and School Boards— Institute September 4th to 8th, Inclusive Two

Good Instructors.

The HanQock Board of Education met Monday in the office of the county superintendent and furthered their plans for the opening of schools, which will be the second and third week in September.

All of the trustees were present and their efforts for some time have been put forth in trying to secure the very best instructors to "take charge of their schools. Practically all of the trustees and school boards in the county have their lists of teachers completed, providing it is not necessary to. make changes later. None are sure enough, however, to give out their list, and the places where they will teach, at this time.

The county institute has been arranged for the week of September 4th to 8th, inclusive, which will not be interfered with by the State Fair dates, as has been the case in the past. Two institute instructors have been secured for the week. They arc Prof. Lindley, of Indiana University, and Prof. Lincoln Hulley, of the University ot Florida.

It is probable that a majority of the schools will open on September 11th, and the others will open the following Monday, the 18th.

Bought Partner's Interest. Charles Jackson is now the sole owner of the old Hanna-Masters gas plant, he having closed a deal Tuesday whereby he acquired the interest of his partner, Milton Masters.—Shirley News.

Exhausted Housewives

It is strange that the modern housewife with her many duties neglects to care for herself as men do.

The care of a home and children, the countless little tasks and steps, the responsiblity, the washing, ironing baking, serving of meals, is not only confining, but exhausting to women's energy, and this, more than anything else, deprives her of robust health and beauty.

Many women under such conditions resort to too much tea and coffee drinking, which only stimulates by drug effect, increases the harm and ultimately ruins the health.

To the house wife wi '.h her cares, we earnestly say, drink BONANO hot at your meals and cold or iced between meals, keep a large pitcher handy and drink it freely at your wo^k. it will refresh and sustain you. Your nerves will be benefited, your digestion improved, your jlexion will clear up.

BONANO, being made from fruit, is corrective, and will tend to keep you normal and regular.

Eat lightly and take plenty of liquid food, especially during exhausting summer days.

Turn to BONANO today and your tasks will lightenbe easier for you. you will feel better, look better, be better. BONANO is sold by all up-to-date grocers we will send fa sample package-enough for 10 big cups-for a 2c stamp. Just ad re to
