Apply Sloan’s Freely for Lumbago. Your attacks of lumbago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem. You can relieve them almost instantly by a simple application of Sloan’s Liniment on the back and loins. Lumbago is a form of rheumatism, and yields perfectly to Sloan’s, which penetrates quickly all in through the sore, tender muscles, limbers up the back and makes it feel fine.

r i'. < i A»||»2 l! ■■ * .§K ■■ - - HERMAN C. ROGERS Progressive Candidate for Judge of 30th Judicial Circuit.

Herman C. Rogers, the Progressive candidate lor Judge, has made an active campaign for his election, but has talked very little politics, for he believes that this office ought not to be political; that it makes absolutely no difference which ticket a man runs on for Judge and that no politician ought to be elected to that office. All indications point to his election next Tuesday. Democrats all over the two counties say that their candidate has laid down on the ticket; that he does not care whether he is elected or not, and very little interest is being taken in his election. Republicans are not over anxious to elect Hanley to the same office for 13 years and many take the position that he has held office long enough. There are many others who see in this campaign a combination between the republican and democrat candidates and are disgusted with what they term a bipartisan machine which seeks to keep one or the other in office. Then, too, neither of these two candidates of the old parties has taken the pains to tell the people where he stands on questions pertaining to the management of the court’s business, and neither promises any change or reforms in case he is elected. Rogers has come out square on all these questions and proposes to make some changes that all the people know ought to be made, and the voters are supporting him because he has taken a position in the interest of the people and against the bi-parti-san combination which seeks to keep itself in office.

Rogers does not belong to any ring about the court house either at Rensselaer or Kentland. He is clear outside of both, and he, is the first and only candidate for that office who was ever nominated who did not belong to one or the other. If Rogers is elected everybody will get a square deal, and if either of the other two is elected the old political game goes merrily on. Hanley and Darroch, or Rogers?—Advt.

BUGGIES HARNESS ''^ SS *^gjß N'r ' ' a —3f iWW Paid for a Studebaker wagon 38 years ago ° IN 1876 Mr. R. F. Dewey of Millersburg, Ind., bought a Studebaker farm wagon for $lO5. Dividing $lO5 by 38 ] ears it I will be seen that Mr. Dewey’s Studebaker cost him—to date —$2.77 a year. —and, as the wagon is still giving good service, every additional year that Mr. Dewey uses his wagon still further reduces the cost per year. You ent beat this for an investment. We carry a line of Studebaker wagons just as strongly made, just as reliable, as the Studebaker wagon Mr. Dewey bought 38 years ago, Come in and look them over. AVe will demonstrate to you that a Studebaker wagon is an investment pays every time. C. A. Roberts, Rensselaer
