III WORK FOR POOR

Stomach Troubles Disappear. Stomach, liver and kidney troubles, weak nerves, lame back and female ills disappear when Electric Bitters are used. Thousands of women would not be without a bottle in their home. Eliza Pool, of Depew, Okla., writes: "Electric Bitters raised me from a bed of sickness and suffering

this excellent remedy and find out, as I did, just how good it is." As it has helped thousands of others, it surely will do the same for you. Every bottle guaranteed, 50c, and $1.00. Recommended by Zike & Henricks. (Advertisement)

Celebrate Two Birthdays. William Briney, wife, son, Burton, and daughter, Carrie, of this city Mrs. Joseph Briney and Stella Burton, of Jackson township, went to Indianapolis Sunday where they

dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Morrison. The dinner was in honor of the 89th birthday of Mrs. George Burton, mother of Mrs. Wm. and Mrs. Joseph Briney Stella Burton and Mrs. Morrison, and the 21st birthday of Burton Briney. Other guests present were George H. Price, Sam Burton and son, George, and Mrs. Morrison, of Shelbyville.

Not Beyond Help at 87. Sleep-disturbing bladder weakness, stiffness in joints, weak, inactive kidney action and rheumatic pains are all evidence of kidney trouble. Mrs. Mary A. Dean, 47 E. Walnut St., Taunton, Mass., writes: "I have passed my 87th birthday, and thought I was beyond the reach of medicine, but Foley Kidney Pills have proved most beneficial in my case." Zike & Henricks.

BIG GASES

Charity Organization Asks Reports Dozen or More Big Damage Suits of All Who Have Contributed Have Come to Hancock County Outside of the Society in the Past Two Weeks.

Hancock county is getting many change of venue cases, a dozen or more having been filed at the clerks office during the past two weeks on change of venue from Marion county. These cases represent a hundred thousand dollars in damages asked. Three such cases were filed Monday on a change of venue from Marion county.

One is a suit filed by Emma Phillips against the Indianapolis Traction & Terminal Company for $5,000 for alleged personal injuries. She alleges that last March, when she was alighting from a car owned and operated by defendant company, the car was started suddenly and violently threw to the pavement, bruising and maiming her.

Another of the venued cases was one in which Henry Wick asks $2,000 damages of the Indiana Union Traction Company. He alleges that while he was in a car at Broad Ripple Park, he was attacked and beaten by two men employed by the company.

John M. Barber asks $10,000 of the Indianapolis Traction & Terminal Company for alleged personal injuries. He says that while he was boarding a car in May, 1913, the car was started, throwing him in such a manner as to break a leg, which was afterward amputated.

Only the immediate relatives witnessed the ceremony. Both young people are well and favorably known and their many friends have only good wishes for them. Mr. and Mrs.'Sutton will reside at Terre Haute.

WON OUT AT CHICAGO

Klaw & Erlanger's Theatrical Fight With the Chicago Thea-ter-Goers.

Chicago has always prided itself on being one of the best theatrically informed cities in the West. Nevertheless, if the trouble encountered by Klaw & Erlanger in the Windy City in trying to dissuade the theater-going public there that it was all wrong, is to be considered, there is hope, in the future, to prove Chicago wrong in many things, both theatrically and otherwise.

It seems that Chicago had an idea that "The Poor Little Rich Girl" was a play for children, a thought that almost shattered the financial dreams of big profits for Klaw and Erlanger, and almost lost this stage work to that city, whereas, "The Poor Little Rich Girl" is absolutely the contrary, as it is a deep thought only understandable and appreciated by us "big 'uns." There are no fairy characters or kindergarten ideas in the piece, but absolute characters of fact and fancy, the former as we see them in everyday life, and the latter as they are pictured by a sub-conscious mind in a delirium. The theme of the play takes on a story that every man and woman has lived and cherishes the fond memories of, but in order to make Chicago understand this, it was necessary to expend an extraordinary sum of money in advertising, or in other words, fight the public. For three weeks Klaw and Erlanger lavished money for extraordinary ads in the papers and flashy billposting signs. These ads were changed from day to day. The wording of the last day's advertising read much to this effect: "If you don't know what kind of a play 'The Poor Little Rich Girl' is, treat your ignorance as a secret and don't see the play. It is for intelligent people only." Klaw and Erlanger spent over $5,000 for this kind of preliminary advertising, but were rewarded with success as the receipts the first week amounted to $12,143.50, and the advance sale for the two weeks following registered over $15,000. Chicago now understands. "The Poor Little Rich Girl" will be the attraction at English's Opera House, Indianapolis, week beginning January 12th. (Advertisement)

Croup and Cough Remedy. Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks children so suddenly they are very apt to choke unless given the proper remedy at once. There is nothing better in the world than Dr. King's New Discovery. Lewis Chamberlain, of Manchester, Ohio, writes about his children: "Sometimes in severe attacks we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's New Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup, coughs and colds." So can you. 50c and $1.00. A bottle should be in every home. At Zike & Henricks. (Advertisement)

Deciding Winners with a Camera. Absolutely linal results will be obtained at the next Paris international race meeting by a camera set to take a picture of the finish automatically, says the January Technical World Magazine. The winning horse, by breaking a fine thread releases the electric shutter and there can be no question as to which one led at the time. A similar device was used at the first Olympic Games, but was resorted to only in case the judges were in dispute as to the winner. dw (Advertisement)
