DROPSY TREATED FREE

Dr. Franklin Miles, the Well Known Dropsy Specialist, Sends a Re-’ markable New $3.75 Treatment Free as a Trial. Many "Incurable” Cases Soon Cured After 5 to 15 Doctors Failed. At first no disease is' 1 apparently more harmless than dropsy; a little swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles, or abdomen. Finally there ts great shortness of breath, smothering spells, sitting up to breathe, cough, -faint spells, sometimes nausea and vomiting, even bursting of the limbs and a lingering and wretched death if the dropsy is not removed. Dr. Miles has been known as a leading specialist in these diseases for 35 years. His liberal offer is/ certainly worthy of serious consideration. You may not have another opportunity. The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of four dropsy remedies in one also Tonic Tablets, and Pura-Laxa for removing the water. This treatment is specially prepared for each patient and is at least four times as successful as that of most physicians It usually relieves the first day, and removes swelling in six days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Dr. Miles’ book contains many wonderful cures.

Send for Remarkable Cures in Your State.

All afflicted readers may have the new Dropsy Book, Examination Chart, Opinion, Advice, and a TwoPound Treatment, free, as a trial. Write at once. Describe your case. Address, Dr. Franklin Miles, Dept. DC., 889 to 899 Main Street, Elkhart, Ind.-—Advertisement.

M. Laßue. Elsie and Mabie Nelson and Etta Lee came .home from Rensselaer Friday to spend Saturday and" Sunday with their folks. The talk of the town the last few days has beep the arrest of Clyde, alias “Battleax, Gibbons and his alleged paramour, Mrs. Ida Peterson, formerly of Lowell. Justice Whitten bound them over to court under SSOO bonds each, which they fallen to secure and were remanded to Constable Hatton for safe keeping and delivery to the sheriff. Frank secured an assistant and took the prisoners to the batchelor home of Charles Algrim, where the pair had been stopping for some time, expecting to take them to Kentland the next morning. But some time during the night the prisoners gave their guards the slip and have not been seen or heard from since. The fellows about town have been making life miserable for Constable Hatton, but the community at large feels that is is "good riddance of bad rubbish,” and the cheapest way rid of them, as they will probably not bother our ‘county with their presence again soon.

Glass windows were first used in private houses in England in 1180. The distance from which vultures and eagles spy their prey is almost incredible. It is said that no one can breathe at a greater height than seven miles Jtom the earth. Half the important European land battles ’of the last three centuries have taken place in Belgium. The consumption of fuel oil in Chile has increased since 1904 from 5,000 tons to more than 230,000 tons last year. The jinricksha is the man-Jropell-ed vehicle of therfar east. It is being superseded by a vehicle known as the cyclericksha. Salubite, a new explosive, is fifty times more powerful than dynamite, and is much safer, for it will explode only by means of the percussion cap. It has been found that wireless telegraph waves are propagated along the surface of the earth with a velocity slightly inferior to that of light. Linen has proven valuable for the covering of aeroplane Wings, The fabric is coated with casein, which strengthens the material and makes it smooth. . : . The mountains of Porto Rico are so magnetic that they attract surveyors’ plumb line. It has been found that some old surveys are. incorrect by a half a mile or more. A Sheffield firm has received from Holland a contract for the manufacture of 50,000 army pocket knives, to be made to the pattern of those hitherto imported from Germany. The cultivation of a sunflower as a crop is extensive in the south of Russia. The plant furnishes oil in its seed, fodder for cattle in its leaves and a large quantity of potash is manufactured from it. In a motion picture theater in a Maryland town, patrons are admitted at a lower price to a room behind the screen, where they can see the pictures as well, although the reading matter is reversed. Mistletoe thrives on the western coasts of America to an extent not approached in the east. In many places this parasite growth is responsible, directly or indirectly, for a considerable loss of timber. ■* The government of India has appointed an expert to make an exhaustive study of the white ants of that country, which completely destroy all books with which they come in contact if not detected in time.

In the province of Ontario there are, including kindergartens, night schools, high schools, collegiate, institutes and continuation classes, 6,94 2 public schools—all free—the yearly attendance of pupils being 500,000. Grape seeds, for which hitherto no use has been known, have been found to contain an oil which is especially valuable in the manufacture of soaps, and a South American refinery is making preparations to produce it on a large scale. At Japanese auctions each bidder writes his name and bid on a slip of paper, which he puts in a box provided for the purpose. W.hen the bidding is over, the box is opened and the goods declared the property of tlie highest bidder. One of the evils of war is the lowering of the national physique. In the generation after the FrancoGerman war there was an appreciable decrease in the stature of Frenchmen through the large number of young men of good physique who were killed. Frank T. Palmer of Skowhegan, Me., is using for a weather vane a plow which has been used on the farm for many years. The plow is placed on top of the m..yola of his barn, and so balanced tnat it determines the direction of the wind with accuracy. ' The streets of Milan are watered from the electric tram cars. On these watering ears reservoirs have 1 been adapted to the platforms, and these reservoirs are emptied as the car runs, by means of perforated tubes placed fan-shape at the front and back of the car. There is no pauperism in Servia, in the sense in which it is understood in the west. The poorest people have some,sort of freehold property. There are a few poor people in Belgrade, but neither their poverty nor their number has required an institution like a workhouse. v By the accepted Baltic and Black sea canal scheme it is proposed to canalize the Dnieper and the Dwina, the former flowing into the Black sea at KherSbn and the latter into the Gulf of Lavonia and the Baltic sea at Riga. The sources of the two rivers at. the divide would be connected by artificial waterways. The length of the canal would be 1,540 miles. The new Egyptian flag consists of three white crescents with their backs

to the staff, each with a five-pointed white star between the horns on a red field. This flag was the personal standard of khedive, and now takes the place of the former national flag, which/was distinguished from the Turkish by having a star of five instead of six points. A new field of usefulness has been found for the much ridiculed skunk in the fact that it is a vigorous enemy of the full grown range caterpillars. Birds are of no service whatever in destroying these large caterpillars, but skunks devour quantities of them, and this is another reason why these little creatures should receive more consideration than they now do. f ■ “By the side of a young French cavalry officer who had been hit in a fight oh the Aisne we found the body of a pretty girl,” said Sergeant Payne, of the British army, who is at Bristol, England, wounded: “Both were dead. When the young man joined his regiment the girl left a convent school and attached herself to the Red Cross*. Hearing that her sweetheart had not returned from a charge in which his regiment was engaged, she went out with the ambulance men to look for him. Going in advance she found him, and w'hile attending to his w ounds was killed'. They were buried side Jjy side.” William 11. Venn, parole officer of the governor of Michigan, believes that the paroled convict is as honest as the average man. Some years ago he and a human judge established a fund from which money might be loaned to paroled or discharged prisoners until they could find work and get on their feet. Since loans have been made to 557 ex-convicts to the amount of $7,542.83, and ot this sum, all but $987.65 has been paid back. Of the amount not paid $416.08 was loaned to men who later broke their parole, and it is believed that they wmuld have paid back the greater part of this but for the danger of disclosing their whereabouts. Still, breaking one’s parole is not altogether a recommendation for honesty.— Indianapolis News.

POOR MEXICO.

She Has Had Seven Presidents in the Last Four Years. Kaleidoscopic shifts in the figurehead of the government seated at Mexico City continue to appear in the news which comes north across the Rio Grande, and there is no sure sign of a cessation of them in the immediate future. Seven men have held the presidential office (all but one of them provisionally) since the election of Diaz in 1910 for a six-year term. F. L. de la Barra served from April 25, 1911, to November 6, 1911; Francisco Madero from November 6, 1911, to February 19, 1913; Victoriano Huerta from February 19, 1913, to July 15, 1914; -Francisco Carbajal from July 15, 1914, to August J 2, 1914; Venustiano Carranza from August 12-, 1914, to November 10, 1914; Eulalie Gutierrez from November 10, 1914, to January 16, HU 5; and now Roque Gonzales Garza has been chosen by the conventino of generals at the capital. This record has not been beaten in recent years by any country except. Haiti, which changes its presidents as often as it does its linen. Garza, the successor of Gutierrez, is a lawyer, who served for a short time in the cabinet of the assassinated Madero. He is reputed to be one of Villa's warm and close friends, Concerning his real character we have little information, but that hardly matters, for his , occupation of the palace in Mexico I'ity is temporary and his authority practically nil. The military convention, which clipped the wings of Gutierrez, will see to it that Garza does not fly very high.'—Boston Globe.
