WILL 6IVE SKULE AT

GREENFIELD TALENT TO PRESENT COMEDY AUSPICES OF DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH,

THURSDAY NIGHT, APRIL 8.

The Deestrict Skule of Blueberry Corner, which was given here twice last winter by local talent of the M. P. church to packed houses, will be given at Knightstown by the same cast on Thursday evening, April 8th. The play will be given in the Odd Fellows hall at Knightstown under the auspices of the Daughters of llebekah.

This comedy has been given a number of times in Greenfield in the past dozen years, largely by the same cast, and it never fails to draw crowded houses and please every one who wants a good laugh for a small price. At the first presentation of the play recently about 500 people were turned away from the church and the house was filled the second night, notwithstanding the fact that it was an extremely disagreeable evening as regards weather.

Thomas Henricks, formerly of this city, is looking after the Knightstown end of the advertising and there is a probability of a very large attendance. The cast are preparing to do their very best at Knightstown.

Are You Rheumatic?—try Sloan's If you want quick and real relief from Rheumatism, do what so many thousand other people are doing— whenever an attack comes on, bathe the sore muscle or joint with Sloan's Liniment. No need to rub it—just apply the Liniment to the surface. It is wonderfully penetrating, ft goes right to the seat of trouble and draws the pain almost immediately. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25c of any druggist and have it in the house—against Colds, Sore and Swollen Joints, Lumbago, Sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give al most instant relief. (Advertisement.)

Richard Black's Pictures In Herron Art Institute at Indianapolis.

Those of our citizens who have visited the exhibition of the works of Indiana artists at the Herron Art Institute, at Indianapolis, have been especially interested in the three pictures by Richard Black, of this city. Mr. Black, who has lived abroad for many years, is at present ill at his home on Douglas street.

Two of the pictures are etchings of unusual merit, and were in the 1914 salon des Beaux Arts of Paris. The one oil painting is of a distinctive character—a harmonious representation of a street scene in Algiers. This painting was first exhibited in the 1913 salon in Paris and in'1914 it was selected by the Paris jury of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts to represent the Paris group of American painters, and was well hung in the Pennsylvania exhibit.

Mr. Black's pictures show that

fine technique. Those who have been fortunate enough to see Mr. Black's pictures know how justly proud Greenfield will be of her talented young artist.

RELIEVES BRICK PREVENT CHOLERA

C. M. Kirkpatrick Presents Some Good Evidence of This Fact. Has Many Hogs.

C. M. Kirkpatrick, of this city, has a great many hogs on one of his farms in Henry county, and he is very anxious about them on account of the fact that there is cholera on farms on two sides of his farm.

So far his hogs are healthy and all right. He has great confidence in ordinary brick as a preventative from cholera. He is arranging to supply his hogs with all the brick they will eat in order to keep off the disease. He says it is astonishing how much brick hogs will eat. He spoke about a man who made a drive-way, covering it with crushed brick. He afterward fed some hogs in the lot where the drive-way was, and they ate all the brick on his drive-way.

As to the virtue of brick as preventative for cholera, Mi kirkpatrick gives as one examp some hogs that F. G. Banker had on a tract of land southwest of th's city on which was the refuse of an old brick factory. Mr. Banker had forty head of hogs in the lot and Dr. S. S. Boots had quite a number of hogs in a field adjoining, which had the cholera and were dying from the disease, but not one of Mr. Banker's hogs died nor contracted the disease. Mr. Kirkpatrick thinks the brick which the hogs were constantly eating' made them cholera proof. He thinks old brick arc sure preventatives from the disease, and he thinks every farmer should keep brick and feed them to his hogs. He thinks a good way to do is to keep the brick in a barn or crib and feed them in a trough just as other things are fed to them.
