People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disorder that saps the vitality, which is naturally lower in old age.

Swept Over Niagara. This terrible calamity often happens because a careless boatman ignores the river’s warnings—growing ripples and faster current— Nature’s warnings are kind. That dull pain or ache in the back warns you the Kidneys need attention If you would escape fatal maladies — Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright’s disease. Take Electric Bitters at once and see Backache fly and all your best feelings return. “After long suffering from weak kidneys and lame back, one |I.OO bottle wholly cured me,’’ writes J. R.

Mrs. John Gwin had the misfortune to have her brooder house catch fire one night last week and burn several brooders, 2 or 3 hens and over 150 little chickens. Rev.

Any lady reader of this paper will receive, on request, a clever “NoDrip” Coffee Strainer Coupon privilege, from Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis.

The Doctor sends it, with his new free book on “Health Coffee” simply to introduce this clever substitute for real coffee. Dr. Shoop’s Health Coffee is gaining its great popularity because of: first, its exquisite taste and flavor; second, its absolute healthfulness; third, Its economy—l%lb. 25c; fourth, its convenience.

HowTo Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a poundaday by taking an ounce of Scott's Emulsion. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going property, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking SCOTT’S EMULSION Send thia advertisement together wfth name of paper In which it appear*, your address and four cent* to cover poetape, and wa will send you a*Complete Handy Atla* of th* World.” SCOTT & BOWNE. 400 Pearl SL.

Words To Free The Soul. “Your son has Consumption. His Case is hopeless.” These appalling words were spoken to Geo. E. Elevens, a leading merchant of Springfield, N. C. by two expert doctors—one a lung specialist. Then was shown the wonderful power of Dr. King’s New Discovery.. “After three weeks use,” writes Mr. Elevens, “he was as well as ever.

DeArmond took the examination at Wheatfield Saturday for the appointment of postmaster at Tefft. Lon Nees, with the nelp of six or seven neighbors, was busy Sunday breaking the three bronchoes to ride and drive which he recently purchased from Dick Dunn. The order and morality band who have put the lid on at Wheatfield should search for the blind tiger and a few gambling dens which are said to be doing a thriving business.

Lambert Collins is some better at this time. He has had a bad attack of lung trouble and has been unable to complete his w’Ork as assessor. We trust he will soon be out again. The cold, wet weather has caused some of the farmers to re-sow their oats. Others have given up sowing at all. Grass Is short and the farmers are not yet able to tiirn out their stock. If, after leaving your own party, and the one you attach yourself to can’t trust you even with a nomination, ask for some fourth class government position. You surely are entitled to something. Mrs. Mack Rockwell presented her husband with a republican boy a few days ago. Too bad that Mack is compelled to give up the postoffice after working so hard to increase the republican vote in Kankakee tp., but such is life, and political parties are very unthankful for •our efforts.

Up Before The Bar. N. H. Brown, an attorney, of Pittsfield, Vt„ writes: “We have used Dr. King’s New Life Pills for years and find them such a good family medicine we wouldn't be 4 without them.” For Chills, Constipation, Biliousness or Sick Headache thejr work wonders, 25c at A. F. Long’s.

She will be close to her and can look after her as she is getting quite old and feeble. Trustee Kight and Supervisor Mallatt had two large sewer pipes put in across the street at the Kesler property of the week, which has been needed so long. The ' railroad company will now have to put down their sewers under their grades in order to let the standing water out of the ditches in town. One of Mrs. E. O. Hooper’s little boys happened with a very serious •accident one day last week. The two boys about 5 and 7 years old, were playing in the wood yard with the ax, when the smallest one held a stick on the chop block while his brother cut it. The ax went wide of its mark, and struck across the first knuckles of his hand and thumb almost severing the thumb. It was a very dull ax or doubtless it would have cut the fingers all off but the small one. Dr. Rice of Roselawn was called to dress the wounded parts. He found that it was necessary to take the thumb entirely off: The boy is now getting along nicely. Mrs. Hooper took him to Roselawn Tuesday to have the hand dressed again. Saturday the people of Jasper will decide by our vote whether or not we want saloons. Every man in the county should quit his work and go to the polls and help stamp out the curse that causes fathers to become wrecks and fill a drunkard’s grave, when they will be rorever and eternally lost. And the same which makes «laves and causes untold suffering and sorrow for the wives and mothers of our many homes, and which niakes beggars and outcasts of our boys and girls, the pride of our heart. Oh, brother, will you not, as you go into the booth, think about which you should do—help to make our country better by keeping the liquor out of our community, or vote for it, which means so much trouble. Vote for God, Home and Country and you will certainly be rewarded, for the bible says: “Woe to the man that putteth the bottle to his neighbor’s lips," which you will do if you vote wet.

The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative —is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments, the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys, if one goes at 't correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fall, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a few days, and see! Improvement will promptly and surely follow. Sold by all dealers.

OPTOMETRY. 4 “OPTOMETRIST" means a person licensed uhder the laws of the State to test eyesight and fit glasses. Having recently taken the State Board E Amination and was one of a few that successfully passed, the privelege to use this title has been extended to me and is the State guarantee to you of my competency and authority to correct refractive errors by proper glasses, which is not only an Improvement to vission but a benefit to one’s general health. Remember the word Optometrist,” it will safeguard you against incompetents who are neither capable nor authorized by law to test your* sight or prescribe glasses. You owe it to yourself to get posted on the new Optometery law, recently passed by the State for your and your family’s protection. If your eyes bother you and cause you to feel bad, don’t put it off, but call on the “Optometrist,” have your eyes properly taken care of and be relieved of your trouble. If you break a lens or any part of your glasses don t take them just any place, thinking you can get the same thing, but take them to Catt, the Optometrist, there you take no chances. Remember this. Jn order to get the people familiar with the new title “Optometry, which the State law has given the science of correction of visual defects by glasses, I will give $5.00 in gold to the person that writes “Dr. A. G. Catt, Optometrist,” the greatest number of times on a 3%x inch postal card and mails to me on or before the first day of June, 1909. DR. A. G. CATT, OPTOMETRIST. Rensselaer, Ind.

CURES INDIGESTION.

All Distress from Stomach and Indigestion Vanishes in Five Minutes. Take your sour stomach—or maybe you call it indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn’t matter—take your stomach trouble right' with you to your Pharmacist and ask him to open a 50cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your stomach misery. Tne correct name for your trouble is Food h ermentation—food souring; the Digestive organs become weak, there is lack of gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas, biliousness and many other similar symptoms. If your appetite is fickle, and nothing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is tut one cause—fermentation of undigested food. Prove to yourself, after your next meal, that your stomach is as good as any; that there is nothing really wrong. Stop this rermentation and begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. Almost instant relief is waiting for you. It is merely* a matter of how soon you take a little Diapepsin.
