OUT OF .INDIANA

The Ohio German Is Ordered By the State Auditor. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 24. — John C. Blllheimer, State Auditor, today wired the President of the Ohio German Fire Insurance Company, Toledo, as follows: "Have this day revoked the license of your company to do business in Indiana.

The company has 74 agents in Indiana and collected $25,000 in premiums last year, paying- out $|5,000 for losses.

CHURCH MEMBERS PAY DEBTS

Revival Service at Elwood Results in Conscience Money Payments. Elwood, Ind., Nov. 24.—The Rev. James C. Derk, of Allentown, Pa., who has been conducting a revival at the M. P. church, has created more interest in church affairs than any minister who has ever appeared here in revival work. In a stirring sermon Sunday evening he told his hearers that it was sacrilegious for a man to stand up and confess Christ while he still owed debts which he had made no attempt to pay. His words bore fruit. Eli Shores appeared at the Lake Erie station and handed the ticket agent a quarter, remarking that it was conscience money. He explained that in September, 1898, he had ridden from Elwood to Alexandria and the train being crowded he eluded the conductor and escaped

paying fare. He said that he- could not pray without that quarter appearing before him and he wanted to pay and forget It. . Later another member of the congregation appeared at the Western Union Telegraph Company and paid >1.65 which he said he owed for telegraph service received seveu

years ago. Another went to a local grocer and paid a grocery bill of which had been standing ten years. A focrth person paid 37 to D. E. Green for rent which had long since been forgot.

ADIPOSE MEMBERS BOLT.

Hall, who organized a class in phvsical culture, insisted they had to emulate her example. A class in the science of reducing adipose tissue was organized, following a series of health lectures, and enthusiasm ran high among the Women until the Instructor rolled from one end of the hall to the other, and Invited her class to follow her.

“You’ve got to do it or leave the class,” she said, and, while the more enthusiastic matrons and maids rolled and played leap frog, the rebellious members marched out in a body. •

“UNCLE TOM ANDY BILL.’’

Mr. Charles Major’s New Book a Capital Story for Boys and Their Elders. Here is a story that will delight the youngsters—when their fathers have finished with it. Although it is a story about boys, and will probably find its most enthusiastic admirers among young readers, it is a book from which the older person can derive much enjoyment. Mr. Major is one of the born storytellers, and this capital tale of adventure unrolls itself as simply and naturally as if the author had himself lived every word of it.

To readers in this State "Uncle Tom Andy Bill” has a special appeal, first, because 'the author is one of the most famous of Indiana authors, and secondly, because practically the whole story is laid in Indiana. The leading character is the old man, Thomas Andrew William Addison, whose quaint name gives the book its title, and who is the narrator. It is the story of his own boyhood, when he ahd his friend Balser Brent were mighty hunters and Indiana was on the western frontier of the country. The two boys encounter various exciting adventures on their hunting trips. The most momentous of all begins when they befriend an old Indian and in time learn from him the secret of a treasure buried in a mysterious cave. They go in search of the treasure and in the end actually find it in the famous Wyandotte Cave in Crawford County. Mr. Major has given a remarkable atmosphere of realism to his story by his correct descriptions of its scenes, and towards the end of the book, there is an actual map of the Cave, showing just how and where the boys found the treasure. There are besides numerous very good illustrations by P. Van E. Ivory.

It would be unfair to close this notice of “Uncle Tom Andy Bill” without mention of the charming love story which Mr. Major has interwoven with the adventure. The boys make an eventful trip to Cincinnati, fall in with the famous “Wolf Gang” of robbers, and after the narrowest of escapes from death get away with a young girl whom they rescue from the gang. All through the story the influence of this girl is felt, and the story of Tom Andy Bill’s love for her is as good as anything Mr. Major has written. / Certainly no Indiana boy will want to miss this admirable story. (The Macmillan Company,' New York, $1.50.)

IS THIS A SQUARE DEAL?

That’s the squarest kind of a square deal as every fair minded man knows. But B. F. Fendig can afford to make this offer because he knows that Mi-o-na tablets are a worthy stomach remedy, and that the makers will back up the generous offer.

And so we say to all readers of The Democrat suffering or ailing with any stomach trouble, try Mi-o-na. It has such mighty and powerful influence on the stomach that it immediately refreshes and relieves, then invigorates and cures. It strengthens the stomach walls, puts the stomach in such perfect condition that it can digest food without pain or other distressing symptons. It cures by removing the cause, and Jt removes the cause 96 times in a hundred. A large box of Mi-o-na tablets only costs 50 cents, and relief will come in 24 hours. “Mi-o-na tablets are truly great for anyone that has stomach trouble. I can not praise them too highly for what they have done for me.” —Mrs. W. D. Bennett, Bucksport, Me. Ophelia: ’ Gold Medal Flour is nourishing. Kskiah.

oh > get up in the mornin’, _4t the early hour of four; when a feller’d give a fortune For another hour to snore, And the cook out in the kitchen Is a-settin* breakfast on. And a-listenln’ to the music Ot the steamin’ kettle’s song. Ana it s eat the eggs and bacon Gravy spread on home-made bread; Then it’s push back in a hurry, Cause the sky’s a-getiin*red, Ana the hired man’s done a-mllkiu’, And the shoats have just been fed; And the turke y s from the tree tops To the corn cribs have all soared, When we hear the corn a-knockin* On the Old Bump Board.

Oh, the air is keen and frosty, And It makes our faces glow; And the crystals keep a-sailln*, Makes one think it’s spittin* snow. Oh, It’s pop your heels together. And it’s swing your arms around; And it’s blow upon your fingers, And our ears the cold has found; For the frost is on the shucks, And the freeze is in the ground. And the apples and the punkins In the cellar have been stored, When you hear the corn a-knockin’ On the Old Bump Board.

Oh, the days so soft and hazy, Though the mornin’s are so cold; Oh. they make a feller lazy— t If the truth must be told — When he eats a hearty dinner, And must hurry back again, And start right in a-shuckin’, To a boy it’s just a sin; For the squirrels and droppin* nuts Are now surely callin’ him To the woods, where Mother Nature Has her autumn treasures poured, When you hear the corn a-knockin' On the Old Bump Board.

Give The Democrat a call when you want a neat and attractive job of printing at the same prices or less than others charge for inferior work.

We learned today of a novel little Candy Cold Tablet called “Preventics.” It seems that the name —known by druggists everywhere as “Preventics”—was given these effective little tablets because of their ability to promptly yet safely prevent or head off Colds and the Grippe. Physicians say there would never be a case of genuine Pneumonia if early colds were uniformly broken. This being true, a convenient, meritorious, candylike tablet like Preventics, that will promptly check colds and the grip

is worthy of more than passing attention. We sincerely hope that Preventics will continue to fulfill their intended mission, and that they will continue to successfully battle against the Grippe and all colds.

B. F. Fendig, the Druggist, will Give You Your Money Back if MI-O-NA Does Not Cure Dyspepsia.

THE VERY BEST.
