Secretary of State Issues Statement Because of Delay in Arrival of License Numbers

L. G. Ellingham, secretary of state, announced today that the delay in receiving the auto license numbers from the manufacturers is seriously inconveniencing the state department, because of the flood of auto license applications. Many applicants have become worried because the new law has gone into effect. Mr. Ellingham issued a statement telling of the situation as follows: "Because of the overwhelming number of automobile applications, added to the fact that this department is experiencing delay in the receipt of automobile number tags, it will be some days and perhaps weeks before all the owners of automobiles in Indiana can be supplied with their new numbers. In the meantime ail applications filed in this department are, in the strictest sense, a compliance with the law. Automobile owners are thus protected and should use their cars as heretofore. All this department asks is a little time and forbearance on the part of all concerned."

TAGS TO BE USED

MOHAWK MAY GET A BRAND NEW BANK

Subscriptions Being Sought By a Promoter, Cecil V. Cook.

The thriving little town of Mohawk may have a bank of its own in a short time. A promoter, Cecil V. Cook, is calling upon business men and farmers of that vicinity, endeavoring to raise the capital by subscription. The persons back of the enterprise say that quite a bit of business is transacted in Mohawk, and a bank would be a great convenience to the people of that vicinity.

A Fair-Minded Man

He gazes at life through a window pane, and does not view it through a lens. Therefore, he sees all things clearly—since he does not permit prejudice to distort his vision. He continually guards himself against the error of diminishing the value of any man's work because of a personal antipathy. And on the other hand, he is just as careful not to make the equally great mistake of exaggerating the virtues and attainments of those whom he loves or likes. He forms no definite opinion on any subject until he is qualified by the possession of information sufficient to reach a sane, unbiased conclusion. He does not heed gossip or slander. The one is bred of thoughtlessness, and the other is bred of malice. He despises the anonymous attack. Honesty never wears the badge of the sneak.

German Justice.

A curious illustration of the principles of responsibility abroad lis afforded by a civil damage suit growing out of the breaking of- a plate glass window in a German town. A witness had testified as follows: "As I was passing down the street in front of the window, I saw a big stone come whirling through the air, and I had just time enough to dodge to save myself from being hit by it."

The witness was -sharply questioned upon the point whether the stone that broke the window would have struck him had he not dodged it. He was then dismissed. Eventually the decision of the magistrate was this: "Inasmuch as if the witness had not unfortunately ducked his head, the glass would not have been struck by the stone, he is hereby adjudged responsible for the breaking of the window, and is ordered to pay to the owner the value of the same."—Chicago Inter Ocean.

One Week's Fires in Indiana. According to the official record of the state fire marshal at Indianapolis, there were 193 fires in Indiana during the second week of June, with a total loss of- $136,450. The loss on buildings was $91,590, and on contents, $44,860. The loss for the week was $37,872 less than the loss during the first week in June, which was the first period that the fire marshal had compiled official figures. The loss for the first half of June is $310,772 from a total of 393 fires. Figuring on this basis, the total loss from fire in Indiana for a year would be $7,448,528. The record is not regarded as covering a sufficiently long period, however,' to offer a basis for an estimate of the annual loss, a§ the monthly losses are known £o vary greatly. Sparks from chimneys again took the lead as the cause of fires, 46 of the fires being thus caused, while 13 came from locomotive sparks. Three fires were reported to be of incendiary origin, and all these are being investigated by Fire MarshaF Longley and his deputies.

ECHOES FROM RUSHVILLE

KushviJIe Happenings Always Interest Our Readers.

After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?" The generous statement of this Rushville resident leaves no room for doubt on this point.

John Singer, 201 St. Paul St., Rushville, Ind., says: "I suffered from backache, especially at night, and when I got up in the morning I was lame. I tired easily and headaches and dizzy spells bothered me. The kidney secretions contained a sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills greatly benefited me." "When Your Back is Lame—Remember the Name." Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Singer had. 50c, all stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 17

USE EYES MO HOSE

Look Out For Poisons in Food and Drink—Microbes Hard to Locate—Take No Chances.

Use your eyes and nose now and you'll escape many dangers from micro-organisms during this hot weather.

This is the advice given by experts who have devised a set of rules for the avoidance of diseases from eating and drinking, while the thermometer remains stationary between 90 and 100.

If any article has a suspicion of an unusual odor or looks abnormal, it should be avoided. People eating in doubtful restaurants, should be particularly careful about the meats or fish cooked with highly spiced or aromatic sauce which might disguise a bad taste or warn7 ing odor. Only sweet smelling and clean food should be eaten. Spotted, green, slimy, or frothy meat, or meat which is soft in spots also should be regarded with suspicion. Taste, of course, is a supplementary test, but one to be used after eyes, nose and fingers. A mother, before she allows her child to eat anything, should examine it carefully in a good light, smell it, and finally taste it.

Unfortunately, there is no quick, absolute, simple, practical way of determining the presence of hurtful bacilli in foods, or of obtaining positive evidence of the existence of ptomaines. The average family does not have the delicate apparatus needed for these tests, nor the skill to detect these micro-organ-isms.

The department of agriculture, in the interest of the public health, has sent out circulars in which advice is given how to avoid harmful consequences from unwholesome food. It says: "Milk particularly deteriorates rapidly under summer heat, especially if it already contains bacteria. Housewives, therefore, must see to it that milk, after being left by the milkman, does not stand for any length of time on a hot back or front porch before it is put in the ice box. Milk bottles should be kept closed, both in the ice box and out of it. If there is any doubt at all as to the excellence of the local milk supply, pasteurize all milk. "All foods should be kept covered or wrapped, and always out of the reach of flies, which are deadly carriers of typhoid. All vessels, pitchers, etc., in which food is to be stored, should first be scalded. Food should be handled as little as possible. The ice box, especially its drain pipe, should be cleaned thoroughly and frequently with boiling water and washing soda, and given an occasional airing. A persistent battle should be waged against the flies in all parts of your home. "Uncooked foods as a general proposition, should be avoided. The children should not be allowed to eat the skins of fruits, especially fruits which have been exposed to flies or street dirt on unscreened stands or push-carts. "Those who go away for vacation should not get the idea that everything in a summer resort, or in the country is necessarily pure and wholesome. The danger of typhoid fever in. country resorts is very great. Many of the cases of typhoid fever recorded in the fall in cities where the water is pure, had their origin in water or contaminated substances drunk or eaten at some summer resort. If you absolutely can not get boiled water, make very sure about the reputation of springs, wells, or tap water. "Boiled water can be made just as palatable as unboiled water. The flat taste which boiled water has soon after it has been boiled is due to the fact that boiling drives out of it the air which it has held in solution. If the water af ter boiling is put in scalded shallow open pans and allowed to stand for 24 hours where flies or dirt can not get at it, it will regain its air and have its usual taste restored by the second day. "Finally, it is particularly important in summer that people should not be misled into believing that the label 'guaranteed under the food and drug act' on cans and packages means that the government has tested these foods and pronounced them pure and desirable. The government does not make the guaranty. The guaranty is made wholly by the manufacturer, and means no more than when your own corner grocer guarantees that the sugar he weighs out for you is all right, and perhaps not as much. Examine goods labeled 'guaranteed' just as carefully as any other kind."

CARTHAGE BOY TAKES UP AVIATION IN NEW YORK

Buying Fuel in Advance Coal dealers are receiving their supply of coal for winter trade. It is said that more than the usual number of consumers are placing advance orders for their winter fuel, and having it placed in their •bins. Such practice is wise, and it should become general. There is no good reason why most fuel consumers should not buy and have their winter fuel delivered early. From the cost standpoint it is economy. If everybody waited until winter to buy fuel there would be great danger of a fuel famine. With the relations between the coal operators and the miners so strained, and antagonistic, there is no telling what may happen in the future in regard to the coal supply. If a consumer has his winter fuel in his bin he can feel reasonably secure. It is therefore wise to buy in advance and the growing tendency to do so i* commendable.

ILL GLAD I! ENDED IDE WAY IT DID

"Johnnies and Yanks" Most Friendly— Greenfield Man Located Gettysburg Battle Lines

James L. Mitchell and J. E. Hart, who returned a few days ago from the Gettysburg celebration, report a good time, though the weather was very warm.

Mr. Mitchell says that he could locate accurately all the battle lines. After he reached Cemetery Heights, which overlooked the town, it was all clear to him, though the country had greatly changed since the battle. He saw more members of his company at Gettysburg than he had seen at one time since the war.

In company with their old Captain Makepeace, of Anderson, eight members of the company made a tour of the battlefield in an automobile.

The soldiers thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Mr. Mitchell said the feeling between the Boys in the Gray and the Blue was very friendly, and the southern soldiers called the northern soldiers "Yanks" and the northern soldiers called the southern soldiers "Johnnies." Many of the southern soldiers said they were glad the war terminated the way it did—that it was best that it did.

J. E. Hart met many of his old company and had a good time.

Miss Leola Newburn, who has been the efficient proof-reader at the William Mitchell Printing Company's plant for many years, is taking a vacation. She is visiting a sister in Northern Indiana, near Elkhart. Mrs. Nellie Doughty Weaver is assisting in her stead in the proof-room during her absence.

Mrs. Mabel Denney, who recently returned from an eight months' stay in California, declares that she is much pleased with the Pacific Coast. She met several Greenfield people and many from Indiana. She saw Nettie Adams and says she is getting along nicely there, and could not be persuaded to return to Indiana to live.

Carl Hilt, of Chicago, spent Sunday here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hilt. He has just returned from a trip to Gettysburg, and stopped here on his way to Chicago.

Russell Brown, of Spiceland, and Earl Stanley, of Liberty, two Earlham College boys, were calling on two Greenfield young ladies Sunday.

Some folks can't see when they are not wanted. Refuse them a chair and the next time they come they will bring a camp stool.
