DISUSE PREVENTION DAY IS PLANNED

Will Be Friday, October 2nd—Govtrnor Ralston Issues Proclation—Health Important.

7J-

The havoc appears still greater when we consider the property loss through fires occasioned by the unsanitary accumulations of rubbish.

To poison men in factories and mines, to pollute drinking w^ter supplies, to adulterate foods, to drug the nostrums, to maintain conditions causative of preventable diseases is criminal. Health is the greatest of blessings and the source of efficiency and power. The enjoyment of life, and the achievement of liberty and happiness are impossible without it. There is nothing strikingly glorious in a civilization not founded upon intellectual and moral as well as physical strength, for physical health is the surest foundation of mental and moral health.

DIZZY? BILIOUS? CONSTIPATED? Dr. King's New Life Pills will cure yon, cause a healthy flow of Bile and rids your Stomach and Bowels of waste and fermenting body poison

*o i^SV*" vf Friday, October 2nd, has been proclaimed disease prevention day in Indiana and all classes of people in every section of the state are asked to participate. Governor Ralston has issued his proclamation setting aside that day. He quotes from some of the world's greatest men on the subject as follows: 5 "The health of its people is the greatest asset a state can have. Improve the public health and you increase the resources of the commonwealth. You cut off waste, public and private, promote community prosperity and individual welfare, and encourage happiness. What greater deed could you do to earn the gratitude of the people of your state? "An ounce of prevention is worth tons of cure."—Straughn. "That government is the best which secures for its citizens the greatest freedom from disease, the highest degree of health, and the longest life: and that people which most fully secures the enjoyment of these blessings will dominate the earth."—Vaughn. "In the health of the people lies the strength of the nation."—Gladstone.

i1 *v?

I When it became known a few weeks ago that this proclamation was contemplated, the humane and public spirited Nathan Strous, of JS'ew York, wrote me thus: "You have done a splendid thing in planning for the observance in your state of a Disease Prevention Day,' and want to congratulate you on taking this important step.", I consider this one of the greatest ideas ever originated in this country and I am sure it will be copied in other states."

Continuing Gov. Ralston says: When reference is had to .the facts, it is easy to understand why these eminent thinkers are so soJlictous regarding this serious subject. In a recent address made by that great student of public affairs, Secretary Redfleld, of President Wilson's cabinet, makes this startling statement": "Now there have died in the United States in the last six months from preventable causes more people than were slain in the Civil war and more, many times more, than all that have died in the Mexican troubles. We know how to prevent these people from dying, "but still they die. We know how to prevent their deaths. We do not prevent them.

The tragedy'of today is magnified |when we consider that, according the showing made by our own state board of health, more than |eight thousand persons died in 1913 §in Indiana from preventable diseases. When contemplating such a ^disaster our moral sense is so shocked that we hesitate to figure in dollars the vast millions in loss it entails upon our commonwealth.

They are a'Tonic to your Stomach and Liver and tone the general system. First dose will cure you of that depressed, dizzy, bilious and constipated condition. 25c. all Druggists. (Advertisement.)

FUNGUS ON THE CORN

More Pronounced Than Usual—Dr. Bblser Gives Word of Caution.

A number of farmers have spoken of the fungus growth on corn this year, both on the stalk and the ear, as being more abundant than in former seasons. Some of these have expressed fear that it would endanger live stock, and one or two persons have said that in cutting corn they are throwing out stalks and ears bearing this growth.

Dr. Bolser was asked as to the danger, and gave a cautionary word saying that especial care should be exercised that .breeding stock may not get the fungus growth, because of the large per cent of ergot contained in the fungus.—New Castle Times. '-r .»

Have used Doan's Kidney Pills Have proved their worth in many tests.

Here's Greenfield testimony. Mrs. Charles Byers, 101 N. Pratt Street, Greenfield, says: "I suffered intensely from pains across my back and kidneys. I had dizzy spells and was convinced that my kidneys were out of order. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, got a supply and I must confess that I never took another medicine that gave such satisfaction. It required only one box of Doan's Kidney Pills to bring a cure. Others of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pills and in each instance the results have been satisfactory. I have previously given a public statement tel ling of my experience, and at this time I gladly confirm it."

AUTO SPEED MANIA SLOWLY SUBSIDING

Class of "Hogs" and "Fools" Still In the Running, However—Latter May Disappe

Persons who drive "automobiles constantly say the speed mania is subsiding. They say the average speed of automobiles is not more than half as fast as it was a few years agio. There are still some drivers who will always drive fast. Then there are those learning who are affected with the mania temporarily, but the recovery of the great majority of drivers from the speed craze is clearly apparent. But the speed is not the only ground of complaint in regard to automobiles. There is the "hog" who wants to take all the road and the "fool" who wants to run just as close to other vehicles on the road as he can and not collide with them. The latter will gradually disappear as prosecutions follow accidents due to such practices, but the former will remain until the millennium because there always have been hogs and will be, notwithstanding the advent of the automobile. The number will gradually decrease as they meet in automobiles on the highway.

PORTLAND TRIP

Visited Many of the Historical Spots of City—Was Well Treated. To San Francisco Next.

Dr. C. A. Robinson returned Monday from his trip through the East, during which time he attended the Great Council of the Improved Order of Red Men of the United States, which was held at Portland, Maine, from September 14th to 18th. The meeting was held in the Portland city hall, which contains the great $60,000 organ that was presented to the city by Cyrus H. K. Curtis, editor of the Ladies Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post -Mr. Curtis was born and reared and educated at Portlanjd. This organ is said to be the finest in the world and the third largest.

Forty-seven automobiles were furnished the delegates on Tuesday evening for a parade over the city, the procession being led by five hundred local Red Men, including an all Red Men's band, dressed in Indian costume.

On Wednesday the whole delegation was taken for a ride on the deep blue sea and an elegant clam bake and lobster layout as well* as many other little things that will follow until all too full for utterance with good things to eat

The home of Henry W. Longfellow, the statue of statesmen Tom Reed, the old "Father Clarke" homestead, where the Christian Endeavor Society came into existence, were all places of more than ordinary interest, were viewed.

The monster 16-inch guns of the big island, guns which would send a ball 18 miles, told their silent stories of protection to a people of peace and the many empty and motionless sea going vessels which sat about idly on the waters of the harbor because they dare not load for foreign ports, told how the war in Europe is affecting us.

Portland is said to be a "dry" cily, bu.t those of the Indiana delegation who now and then felt the necessity of "liquordation" seemed to have less trouble getting what they wanted at drug stores than they would have had in Greenfield, for they declared that neither a doctor's certificate nor a signature to a statement were required. Personally, Dr. Robinson .can not speak on the subject, for he was not even seasick while away. He says he will narrate the events of his trip to the Pocahontas council on Wednesday night and the Red Men Thursday night and will give those in attendance a chance to sample something that very few of them have ever seen.

The meeting of the Great Council next year will be held in San Francisco and as Dr. Robinson is a holdover representative, he says he is "feeling very good, thank you." ff|

Rule and wife, living on the Range Line road, southeast. They, in the early sixties, were close friends of the families of Alfred Thomas, Rebecca Barrett and Joseph. Barrett, all deceased now. Their friendship was close and truly appreciated. None else can quite express old time experiences just like Uncle Lewis Rule, it seems. He is a man above the ordinary in many ways.

UNITED STATES

COMPANY CAMPED AT McKENZIE'S PARK ON WAY FROM FORT BENJAMIN HARRI-

SON TO FORT NIAGARA, N. Y. & V~

Some Greenfield people thought war had been declared here for a short time Tuesday morning when they saw a company of soldiers marching through the streets with all thei—r camp equipment. It was not war, however, except on a good part of Greenfield's supply of eatables. ~v

The soldiers belonged to the Sth United States infantry, of Springfield, Ohio, and have been at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis. They are on a hike back to Springfield, where they will entrain for Fort Niagara, New York. This is the fort where Russell Burnside, son of Col. and Mrs. W. I. Burnside, of this city, is now located.

The soldiers created a good deal of interest and excitement by their visit to Greenfield.

Exterminating Rats.

There is one family in Greenfield who have caught in an ordinary wire trap 150 rats in the past seven years about their home. This is a good record of, extermination of these disease spreading and destrucful pests and if every family would make an effort to emulate this record and service to humanity, these pests would, become almost entirely exterminated in a few years.
