CARELESSNESS MIGHT HAVE SERIOUS RESULT

Diphtheria Situation Could Easily and Quickly Become Dangerr ous Here Doctor's Advise Carefulness.

Carelessness on the part of parents of children ccultf very easily tesult very seriously now at the present stage of the diphtheria situation in this city.

While the cases are not numerous, several have been dismissed, which has kept the number about the same for three weeks since the first case was discovered. One boy, Carl Spilker, has a very serious attack, but as a general thifig the cases have been light.

The City Health Officer says the situation could easily and quickly become serious and he advises strict carefulness on the part of parents, to see that their children's throats are examined and treated upon the first sign of soreness or inflammation. By having this done serious and probably dangerous results may be avoided and an epidemic of diphtheria in this vicinity prevented. Parents cannot be too careful or conscientious about looking after any throat trouble affecting their children, and to do it as soon as the trouble is noticed.

Antoine Deloria, postmaster at Garden, Mich., knows the exact facts when he speaks of the curative value of Foley Kidney Pills. He says: "From my own experience I recommend Foley Kidney Pills, as a great remedy for kidney trouble. My father was cured of kidney disease, and a good many of my neighbors were cured by Foley Kidney Pills. M. C. Quigley.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 26, 1912

CHARGE

GREW OUT OF SUIT

Interesting Sequel To Alienation Suit Venued Here From Rush County, Which Was Dismissed On Friday.

Both cases are on grand jury indictments returned in the April term of court. It will be remembered the two colored men were indicted previous to the April indictment, and it was quashed for technical reasons. The men are charged with blackmailing Marion McCann.

The trouble first started when Blakemon brought suit for damages against McCann, charging he alienated his (Blakemon's) wife's affections. This civil suit was sent to Hancock Circuit Court on a change of venue and was to come up for trial today. It will be ,recalled that Blakemon could not get bond at first and an unsuccessful effort was made to get his release on a writ of habeas corpus. He was later released on bond.

Large Estate To Administer. Former Judge Wm. M. Sparks, of Rushville,-and brother of Dr. J. W. Sparks of this city, has been appointed administrator of the estate of Charles H.

He had a large furniture factory in that city, was very active in the interest of Col. Roosevelt's campaign for re-nomination, and was for several years a large stockholder in the Shelbyville Republican Publishing Company, recently purchased by Walter S. Montgomery, formerly of this city.

Mr. Campbell carried more than $100,000 life insurance. Judge Sparks' bond as administrator is $120,000.

IS BETTER HERE

THAN IN SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES DEALERS RECEIVE SMALL SHIP­

MENTS OF HARD COAL AND DIVIDE IT.

FUTURE PRICE IS UNCERTAIN

Is Already $8.50 Per Ton Shortage of Anthracite For the Year is Estimated at 600,000 Tons, Due

To Last Hard Winter and Two Months Idleness at the Mines—Is Going to the Lake Cities.

Greenfield is more fortunate than many of the neighboring cities in regard to the anthracite coal situation this fall. While the situation is serious everywhere, yet Greenfield consumers, it is thought, can be supplied with enough to keep their stoves going until other shipments are received by the dealers.

In some of the surrounding cities the dealers are unable to supply even a limited amount of hard coal and people who have baseburners are wondering what they are going to do. The shortage in anthracite coal for this year is estimated at 600,000 tons, but this does not mean that there will be no coal, according to the dealers. The shortage is due to two causes first, the unusually hard winter of 1911-12, which consumed the large surplus that is usually left on the fields at the mines and in the bins of the dealers at the close of a winter, and second, work at the mines in Pennsylvania was suspended for two months in the spring on account of a strike. Practically all the coal that is being mined now is going to the big docks and lake cities, it is said, and the shipments to the interior cities and towns will be light until these are supplied.

There has been some anthracite coming into Greenfield at irregular intervals, the A. P. Conklin company receiving two cars this week. Other dealers receive their proportionate share, and as it is received the coal is divided by the dealers among their customers, so that each may be supplied with enough to run their stoves from one shipment to another, although the dealers will not fill any big orders at any one time. This plan is for the protection of the consumers, as the dealers say they will receive coal as it is mined, and that they do not expect the situation to get to a point where they cannot keep all the stoves going. They are not making any predictions as to price, however, as the anthracite is now $8.50 a ton, and may be higher, according to the supply and demand. As to soft coal, there is no shortage and the price remains the same.

THAT BAD COLD.

Vapor Treatment Surely Does Clean Out That Stuffed-up Head.

Don't try to break up a cold with dangerous stomach disturbing drugs. Get directly to the inflamed membrane by breathing HYOMEI (pronounce it high-o-me). Get a bottle for 50 cents at V. L. Early's and try this rapid and economical treatment that thousands are using.

Into a bowl of boiling wrater pour a teaspoonful of HYOMEI, cover head and bowl with a towel, and breathe deep into the lungs the healing vapor that arises.

Breathe this vapor for five or ten minutes until the head feels fine and clear, then go to bed and sleep soundly until morning. No cocaine or opium or harmful drugs in HYOMEI. It is made of Australian Eucalyptus and other antiseptics. It is guaranteed to end catarrh, or money back. 21d3

That's Quite Different. A man will sit on an inch board and talk politics by the hour, says an exchange, but put him in church for forty minutes and he twists and turns, gets nervous and goes to sleep. He will punch his cheeks full of tobacco till the juice runs I down his chin and thinks it feels good, but a hair in the butter kills, him. He stays out until midnight and his wife never knows where he goes comes home when he pleases, but if a meal is not ready on time he hasn't a minute to wait and kicks until he becomes a nuisance.

RILEY'S BIRTHDAY 10 BE CELEBRATED

IN SCHOOLS, HOMES AND EVERYWHERE THE COUNTRY OVER DURING THE WEEK OF

OCTOBER 7 TO 12, INCLUSIVE.

GREATEST AMERICAN POET

Will Be Honored While He is Here To See the High Place He Occupies in the Hearts of His Countrymen—Is Recovering From Stroke of Paralysis and Enjoys Motoring

Over the Country,

Indianapolis, Ind., September 13. —During the second week of October, James Whitcomb Riley, the beloved Hoosier poet, will be the center of the greatest ovation ever tendered an American writer.

October 7th is the poet's birthday but owing to the fact that the celebration in his honor will be of such proportions that it will be impossible to confine it to one day, it has been decided to extend it over a period of six days, beginning on Monday, October 7th, and ending Saturday, October 12th. Indianapolis, Mr. Riley's home town, has taken the lead in this event, but the movement has spread like wildfire and it is doubtful whether there is a city or to an in the United States which will not have one or more events scheduled in honor of the poet, who, through the medium of his verses, has struck a responsive chord in every breast and has succeeded in bringing poetry home to the people.

Riley programs have long been popular with literary clubs, and during Riley week these programs will take on an added interest. Mr. Riley is widely known for his love of children. Like his great predecessor, Longfellow, he has been able to fathom the beauties of the child nature better than most men, and many of his best poems have been written for or about children. For this reason "Riley Week" will be generally observed in the schools writh special exercises.

Mr. Riley is now enjoying excellent health. The paralysis which manifested itself in his right arm more than a year ago is rapidly disappearing and he says he feels as well as he ever did in his life. Every day he takes a long ride in and about Indianapolis and the surrounding country in his big touring car, and he is known as an enthusiastic motorist. He is always happy and is usually surrounded by a group of close friends.

No man America has more friends than James Whitcomb Riley. During the years he traveled as a lecturer he met thousands of people, who, attracted by his magnetic personality, became warmly attached to him. There are hundreds of thousands more who have never met him personally, but who are his friends nevertheless. They are the ones who have been reached by his verses, for so sympathetic is this great man that it would be hard indeed to find a man, woman or child who does not appreciate Riley.

Although Mr. Riley is recognized as a great poet by critics of the sternest school, he prefers to be known as an humble singer who raises his voice that humanity may be benefited by a little of life's sunshine. He has found the good elements of everything and so optimistic is his philosophy that he has never found it necessary even to hint at the sordid things of life. This is one of the reasons v.

uv

he

has won so large an audience and why, when he was simply writing a daily column of verse for an Indianapolis newspaper, long before his name was well known, he attracted the attention of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

There is no more popular man in Indianapolis than James Whitcomb Riley, and this popularity does not come merely from the fact that he is a world figure. He was popular long before he was famous, and when in his presence one forgets the fact that he is the greatest American poet. He is just a man, simple, unassuming, likable. His fellow townsmen have always taken pride in doing him honor, and that pride will be greater than ever during the celebration of "Riley Week.'

Re-Married at Indianapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walls, formerly of this city, who have resided at Greenfield and Indianapolis for several years, and who have been divorced for some months and not living together, were remarried at the Capital City one day last week.—Kuightstown Banner.
