RE-OPEHED IS PLEDGED
IMPROVEMENTS OX METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH COMPLETE—PRESENTS BEAU
TIFUL APPEARANCE.
MONEY CAME FOR ASKING
And Plenty is Pledged To Pay All Expenses Dedicatory Sermon By J. 0. Ledbetter, President of M. P. Conference—
Was a Great Day.
Sunday was an auspicious occasion for the Methodist Protestant congregation, which worshiped for the first time in their church since the many improvements have been completed.
The workmen left the church Saturday, shining inside and out, and the parsonage glossy with pure white paint, and best of all, the money is all in sight to pay all the expenses of the changes and improvements.
The church was re-opened and re-dedicated by Rev. J. 0. Ledbetter, of Swayzee, president of the M. P. Conference, who preached a powerful sermon, after a special musical program.
When the appeal of Rev. Ledbetter was made for pledges to cover the $1,250 expenses, caused by the work done on the church, the people responded so heartily and rapidly that two secretaries could not wTite the names as fast as the pledges were made, and the pledge callers were compelled to wait on the secretaries. Everybody seemed to realize that it was an opportunity to do good, and they did not delay in taking advantage of it.
In considerably less than an hour the secretaries announced that the $1,250 was pledged, and quite a good deal of it paid. A season of rejoicing was indulged in at this announcement.
The re-dedicatory service was also in the nature of a home-com-ing and letters of congratulations were read from former pastors of the church.
The evening service was one of thanksgiving and praiseThe church presents a splendid and delightful appearance now, and one seeing it feels that the hundreds of dollars have been well spent. The basement has been enlarged, taking in the entire space under the church, with a large cenace and coal rooms. In the kitchnace, and cool rooms. In the kitchen a new range was placed, and all the walls are nicely decorated, the floors all being of cement.
On the interior of the auditorium and Sunday school room, the artistic decorations of William Cooney almost causes one to exclaim, because of the beautiful, harmonious and unusual effect. The designs, colorings and workmanship are not excelled in any building in the city.. In the ceiling of the choir room an open Bible and dove, with shafts of light extending in every direction, catches and holds the attention of everyone, because of the beauty of the design, and the fact that viewing it from any direction or angle, the Bible is open, seemingly with a personal and direct invitation to the one who looks upon it. The furniture has all been re-var-nished and looks like new, and the electric lights have been re-ar-ranged and reinforced and fitted up completely with tungsten lights.
The exterior of the church is painted pure white and new cement walks and steps have been made and considerable sewerage has been completed, making the drainage complete.
This congregation certainly has cause to be justly proud of the church as it now appears, and all have had a part in bringing about this effect and condition. The Ladies' Aid Society has been especially active, however, and it was largely through these ladies' efforts that the improvements were started and the present result attained. At the re-dedicatory service this splendid society pledged $400 and a fourth of this sum is paid now. Taken altogether, Sunday was a great day and splendid occasion for this church and for all who attended the service, which means so much to the congregation and community.
Accused of Stealing.
E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me. boldly accuses Bucklen's Arnica Salve of stealing—the stings from burns or scalds—the pain from sores of all kinds —the distress from boils or piles. "It robs cuts, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their terror," he says, "as a healing remedy its equal don't exist."

CARD PLAYING IS UNDER THE Bill
Henry County Prosecutor Gave Pool Room Proprietors Until Saturday To Remove Tables.
Acting on complaints made to him regarding card tables and the playing of cards in pool rooms, H. H. Evans, prosecuting attorney, this morning issued orders banishing all tables and like games from the city, says the New Castle Courier of July 27th. The proprietors were given until Saturday to comply with the orders.
The complaint reached the state's attorney yesterday that one man had lost $25 at one sitting in the pool room games. That, with other similar reports, aroused him to action, and the order was the result this morning. Mr. Evans made a personal visit to all of the establishments where the games were in progress.
Experienced card players and the sharpers reap no small benefit from the games. The winners are paid in checks, which are cashed in by the proprietors of the place at fifty cents on the dollar. The action makes it gambling in every sense of the term and is a direct violation of the law.
Loss of Time Means Loss of Pay. Kidney trouble and the ills it breeds means lost time and lost pay to many a working man. M. Balent, 1214 Little Penna. St., Streator, 111., was so bad from kidney and bladder trouble that he could not work, but he says: "I took Foley Kidney Pills for only a short time and got entirely well and was soon able to go back to work, and am feeling well and healthier than before." Foley Kidney Pills are tonic in action, quick in results—a good friend to the working man or woman who suffers from kidney ills. M. C. Quiglcy.

Many a Suffering Woman Drags herself painfully through her daily tasks, suffering from backache nervousness, loss of appetite and poor sleep, not knowing her ills are due to kidney and bladder troubles. Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief from pain and misery and a prompt return to health and strength. No woman who so suffers cart afford to overlook Foley Kidney Pills. M. C. Quigley.
Home life is the sure test of home character. Let the husband grow cross and surly, and the wife grows cold and unamiable. The children grow cross and savage as young bears. The father becomes callous, peevish, hard, kind of a two-legged brute with clothes on. The wife bristles in self-defense. They develop an unnatural growth and sharpness of teeth and the house is haunted by ugliness and domestic brawls. This is not what the family circle should be. If one must be rude to any, let it be to someone he does not love—not his wife, brother, sister or parents.

Many Exposed To Smallpox. Five hundred people who attended a funeral at Columbus, Ind., are alarmed because of the fact that they were all exposed to smallpox in attending the funeral.
The husband of the woman whose funeral they were attending has a pronounced case of the dreaded disease, but the physicians say those who were exposed are in no danger as the victim of the disease had no fever ajt the time, of his wife's funeral.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1911
NEAR SIDE SIOPS SPEED REDUCED
TERRE, HAUTE, INDIANAPOLIS & EASTERN TRACTION GRANTS REQUEST OF THE LO
CAL COMMITTEE.
WILL MAKE DANGER LESS
All Local Cars in Future Will Stop On Near Side of Street and the Limited and Freight Cars To
Reduce Speed To Six Miles An Hour.
All local T. H. I. & E. cars are now stopping on the near side, as they approach the street crossings, and the speed of the limited and freight cars has been reduced from fifteen to six miles an hour.
This is. all the result of interest manifested in an effort made in the right direction, and wall lessen the danger to the public a great deal.
At a recent meeting of the business men several committees were appointed to bring about several changes that will benefit the general public, and A. C. Pilkenton was made chairman of the committee to wait upon the officers of the T. H. I. & E. Company. Mr. Pilkenton called upon G. K. Jeffries, general manager of the company, at Indianapolis, and asked to have all local cars stop on the near side as they approached the street crossings, and also requested the company to have the limited cars stop at State street.
The first request was granted at once, and while they would not stop the limited cars at State street, the speed of the limited and freight cars wras reduced from fifteen to six miles an hour, which really accomplishes the main purpose of the committee, which was to lessen the danger to the public in the business part of the city.
Jeffries said he would give the orders at once, and evidently kept his word to the letter, as the change went into effect Saturday, causing many people who did not know of the change to almost fall over themselves to find the right place to wait for the cars.
Hay Fever, Asthma, Summer Colds Must be relieved quickly, and Foley's Honey and Tar Compound will do it. E. M. Stewart, 1034 Wolfram St., Chicago, writes: "I have been greatly troubled during the hot summer months with hay fever and find that by using Foley's Honey and Tar Compound, I get great relief." Many others who suffer similarly will be glad to benefit by Mr. Stewart's experience. M. C. Quigley.
COMMERCIALIZED EVANGELISM.
Vigorously Condemned at Bethany Park By Rev. Lli anion.
Rev. W. J. Lhamon, of Des Moines, Iowa, in an address at Bethany Park Sunday condemned "Commercialized Evangelism" in a vigorous manner. The futility of a "whirlwind" campaign, in conducting a revival, he asserts, was shown by the fact that almost without exception only a few of those converted during such a revival remain in the church. He said he favored a steady, serious and conscientious effort to show people the advantage of a religious life and gave it as his opinion that converts made in that way would prove much more valuable to the growth of the church.
An Indian Rule For Orators. The untutored mind of the Indian or the savage often appears strange to us, but there is sometimes reason in what at first sight seems eccentric. A South African tribe has an effectual method of dealing with bores which might be adopted by western people. This simple tribe considers long speeches injurious both to the orator and his hearers, so, to protect both, there is an unwritten law that every public orator must stand on one leg when he is addressing an audience. As soon as he has to place the other leg on the ground his oration is brought to a close—London Globe.
Local Stockyards.
There wTas quite a great deal of stock shipped from the Greenfield stockyards today. Among those who made shipments were Jesse F. Anderson, E. L. Tyner and Wm. F. Thomas.
Maxwell Meetings Close. The series of tent meetings conducted by Mrs. Woodsworth, have closed and the tent taken to Shelby county, where the next meeting will be held.
CASE IS CONTINUED
Will Not Be Tried Now Before August 11th—Change of Venue is Asked—Parties Determined.
The case of the State against the Hancock County Rendering Company, charged with maintaining a public nuisance, has been continued until August 11th. A change of venue has been asked and the case may be sent to the Mayor for trial.
The people of the neighborhood in which the plant is located were down and wrere considerably disappointed by the delay in trying the case, as they say they are determined to have the plant removed while the owners seem to be anxious to keep it there.
The plant is not in operation now and it is claimed by the owners that it has been made sanitary. Some of the people in the community claim, however, that a large number of dead horses have been buried in the last few days, and covered only with a few inches of dirt, and that hogs have uncovered some of the carcasses.
NOTES INCREASE OF QUAIL PRAISES GAME PRESERVES.
Commissioner Miles Pleased By CoOperation of Farmers in Checking Slaughter By Nimrods.
That there are millions of quail in Indiana this year is the belief of George W. Miles, commissioner of fisheries and game. Several reasons are given for the increase this year of the game birds in the state. More than one-half of the ground throughout Indiana for some time has been in game preserves, where hunters are forbidden to shoot, kill or trap the birds. There are at present 250 preserves in Indiana, and each embraces from 2,000 to 10,000 acres.
The preserves are largely responsible for the rapid increase of the quail, Mr. Miles believes. Farmers are being taught, also, to feed the birds during the winter.
Rabbits are increasing rapidly, according to the commissioner. Mr. Miles made a trip recently through southern counties, including Monroe, Brown and Lawrence. Everywhere, he said, the quail and rabbits were in abundance.
Guatanteed by V.L.Early If your stomach is weak and constantly upset, you must quickly do one of two things.
Allow the rest of your body to become as weak as your stomach. Or make your stomach as strong as your body.
There is only one choice for those who want to live and enjoy life, and that is to make the stomach as strong as the body.
This can best be done by using the prescription of aspecialistthat in years of practice gave immediate relief and permanent cure to 95 per cent of the people who used it.
This prescription is known from coast to coastas MI-O-NA. MI-0 NA stomach tablets most people call tnem are guaranteed by V. L. Early to cure indigestion (acuteor chronic)or anyupeet conditionof the stomachor money back.
In five minutes they give relief from hearrburn, acid stomach, gas on stomach belchingjof sour food fermentation and waterbrash.
If you suffer from stomach trouble get a large box of MI-O-NA stomach tablets to-day and put yourself on the road to health. At V.L. Early and leaddruggists everywhere.
Women Should Have Vacations. Those who really most need vacations are not the men, but the women. The routine of a household is wearing. Its sameness palls and the constant repetition of its exacting duties wears out the lives of the mothers. Especially in the country is the life of the housewife one of monotony, little suspected even by members of the household. On the other hand, the life of the man of the house is one of constant variation, which in itself is recreation. It is not surprising that so large a proportion of the inmates of our asylums are women. Where both husband and wife can not go on a vacation, it would be well for the wife to go fishing while the husband stays at home. If he were to put in the time looking after the duties left by the wife, it would often be an eye-opener.—Marion Chronicle.

METHODISTS HOME COMING
Planned For September and Committee Appointed By the Official Board to Look After Arrangements Looking
To Good Time.
The churches of the cify have all favorably considered the proposition of holding union meetings during the month of August.
It was announced Sunday evening that next Sunday night the union service would probably be held at the Presbyterian church, and no service held at the other churches. The union service will be held at a different church every Sunday and the choir of the church in which the service is held will furnish the music.
Union services have been held in Greenfield in the past and have proven very enjoyable and helpful in bringing the denominations and congregations into a closer relationship. At the recent meeting of the official board of the Bradley M. E. church it was suggested that a home coming be held at the church and the time is unofficially set for an early date in September.
A committee of three members was appointed to make all necessary plans for the home coming, which they propose to make a feature of the fall season.
PENSIONS FOR OLD PEOPLE.
Novel Plea Sprung By Representative Berger.
Every person in the United States 60 years old or older, who has been a citizen sixteen years, who has an income of less than $6 a week, and who has not been convicted of a felony, would be put on the pension roll of the United States if Congress passed a bill introduced Monday by Representative Berger, of Wisconsin, who constitutes the Socialist party in the House. The bill would give pensions of from $1 to $4 a week. Mr. Berger offered a joint resolution providing for the appointment of a commission to investigate the old-age pension question.
Children under 16 years of age, who have no parents or guardian, may give their own consent to being employed more than eight hours a day, according to Attorney General Honan. The new child labor law prohibits children under that age from working more than eight hours a day without the consent of parents or guardian, but it does not specify what shall be done in case they have no parents or guardian. The attorney general informed the state factory inspector's office that employers may accept certificates of consent, signed by the children themselves to such cases.
The five men who wTere arrested Sunday morning for gaming, at the home of James Burteh entered pleas of guilty before Acting Mayor W. A. Hughes Monday evening at 7 o'clock. They wore given the minimum fine, which with the costs, amounted to "$15.80 in each case. The payment was arranged satisfactorily by the men who gave orders on their employers, and will pay on the installment plan. The Mayor instructed them that if the fines and costs were side-stepped in any way, they would be given the maximum.
Death of a Little Child. Vera, the 7 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hawkins, died at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning at their home on North State street.
