Seventy-seven Years Old. George W. Clough, Prentiss, Miss., who had suffered greatly with kidney trouble, writes: “Foley Kidne> Pills are the only remedy that ever did me any good at all.” Just think of the relief and comfort that means to him. Foley Kidney Pills are recommended for sleep disturbing bladder troubles, pain in sides or back, rheumatism, and kidney and bladder ailments.—-A. F. LONG.

FOUR CORNERS. The Austin sale Wednesday was well attended and fair prices secured. 1 Geo. Hoosline is loading his machinery and expects to leave for Valparaiso Friday. Ed Wesner, who sold his personal property Monday, will move to Wheatfield and try city life.

F. Guy Barnard of Lochiel came up on business Friday, returning home the same evening. Warren Boyle, just south Ot Wheatfield, has sold his farm to Illinois parties at $125 per acre. Charles Neier of Galesburg, 111,., came Friday for a few days visit and rto loqk, his business here. The Behles Brothers will hold a public sale the first week in March and move to Chicago, we are informed. . "'J. Schriber & Hibbs are working on the one mile of stone road in Kankakee tp. They have one-fourth mile covered with coarse stone now. Ted Biggs subbed for Jack Smith, the rural man out of Wheatfield, Wednesday. Ted looks important, but a little out of place working for a democratic administration. Mike, son of John Misch of near Wheatfield, was operated on for appendicitis Monday by Dr. Fyfe and a Chicago specialist. At this writing the patient is doing nicely. Property at the Wesner .sale did not sell as well as expected, and the crowd was rather small. The public is getting tired of going to a sale every day in the week, it seems. The Wheatfield school gave an entertainment Tuesday night at the opera house which proved to be one of the best entertainments ever given by the school and did great credit to all who took part in it. A. Moyer, who owned the John T. Biggs farm, one mile east of Wheatfield, sold the same to Illinois parties last week at $125 per acre and will move back to Illinois, his former home state, in a few weeks. There is a great chance for someone to make a fortune manufacturing tile along the old, Kankakee, as the dredge is dumping thousands of yards of tile clay along the way as it moves east in the straightening of the river.

Geo. H. Luse and wife of Chicago, are visiting Mrs. E. W. Allen and Simon, Fendig and family of Wheatfield, at this writing. They 'go from there to Rensselaer, Thursday, for a day’s visit with Mr. and Mrs. Ilalleck, returning home Friday. Simon Fendig, of Wheatfield, who has been in poor health for some time, went to Kankakee to visit his brother-in-law, John Allen, and frdm which place, after a few days rest, will take treatment with some medical specialist for his ailment. His many friends trust he may return enjoying the blessings of health. Mrs. Patrick Smith, south of Wheatfield, who has been in poor health for several years, was taken critically ill a few days ago pneumonia and died last Thursday. She was buried from the Catholic church Monday. She leaves to mourn a family of four sons, two daughters and a host of neighbors and friends. ‘ . “I am it again,” which signifies that Charles Jensen is- again behind the prescription case in the Fendig drug store at Wheatfield, and is anxious to meet all of his old-time customers and will gladden them with the same old smile while he relieves them of their cash. Tfhat smile is worth going miles to see, especially if you have never met him. A smile is a great medicine; Charles’ health was poor while at Goodland, but after returning home, and basking in the smile of his prospective, he immediately rec overed. Last week we were informed that Bro. Bowie made a trip to Indianapolis in the interest of Demotte, to deplore, or demand, that the depot at that place be moved, and as he had raised Wheatfield to such a high standard he wished to show the citizens of that part of Jasper how they, too. might blossom as the rose and make the entire county rise up and take notice. How. about the expenses, John?-Did you go down in your pantaloons and dig up, or did they? We are informed the Improvement Association of Wheatfield has put a lock on the treasure box and but it nmkes no difference, spring is here and suckers are coming up stream.

The Liver Regulates the Body—A Sluggish Liver Needs Care. Someone has said that people with Chronic Liver Complaint should be shut up aw r ay from humanity, for they are pessimists and see through a “glass darkly.” Why? Because mental states depend upon physical states. Biliousness, headaches, dizziness and constipation disappear after using Dr. King’s New Life Pills. 25c at your Druggist.—Advt.

Feared Prejudice. Down in one of the southern states,, a colored man was haled into court on a charge of stealing chickens, and in defending him his attorney challenged several of the jurors on the ground that they might be prejudiced. ‘‘Are tjiere any more of the jurors you wish to challenge?” finally whispered the lawyer, leaning toward his client. “No, sah,” returned the client, negatively shaking his head, “but I t’inks yo’ had bettah challenge dat jedge.” “The judge!” exclaimed the amazed lawyer. “What do you mean?” “It am dis way, boss,” explained the client. “I hab been up befo’ dat jedge several times, an’ I’ce afread dat he may be a leetle prejudiced agin’ me,” —Philadelphia Telegraph.

| Taverns Nourished Liberty I PL The colonial inn played an important role during the J| ]¥ Revolution and the stirring times precedingit.

Resources of Combatants.

A comparison recently made by the London Economist of war costs and resources for the principal combatants placed the aggregate wealth in 1013 of Great Britain, France and Russia at £40,000,000,000. Of this £ 1 8,000,000,000 was allotted to Great Britain, an estimate which iinds rather general acceptance, and £ 13,000,000,000 to France, which compares with, an estimate by Sir George Paish last May of about £ ! 0,000,000,000., The balance of £!),■ 000,000,0(|0, which seems to have been arrived at in lump total, apparently is for Russia. The combined wealth of Germany and Austria-Hun-gary is placed by the Economist at £25,000,000,000, of which £16,000,000,000 is credited to Germany. This figure, it may be noted, is practically identical with the Paish estimate of last year. To make these comparisons complete something should be added fro the total for the allies on account of Belgium and Servia, and to the Austro-German figures for Turkey. But probably the general relationship of the estimates would not be seriously disturbed thereby. Taking the figures as given, it appears that the combined wealth of the three principal allied powers is 60 per cent greater than that of theTT two chief opponents. Against these sums the Economist placed the direct war costs for the three allied powers for six months at £990,000,000 and for Germany and Austria-Hungary at £725,000,000. In the former case therefore, the estimated wealth Is over 40 times the estimated war cost of the first half year and in the latter something less than 35 times. These Ratios in themselves do not indicate any decided advantage, nor do they afford much basis for judging the staying powers of the combatants. Great Britain’s command of the seas, for instance, may be worth fai 1 more than billions of wealth in land, minerals or industries. • K Perhaps the most important fact brought out by these figures is the frightful devastation caused by the war. If the allies are consuming their wealth at the rate of one-twentieth per year, and Germany at the rate of one-seventeenth, rates which are almost certainly increasing, it must be

apparent that a eon diet of even two years' duration means the wiping out of an enormous accumulation of capital. And it must be remembered, that the direct costs of the war do not include the enormous losses through destruction of property and. cessation of production, which somo ecoomists place at as much more. Over and above all is the immeasureable loss in lives of .the picked men ol! the warring nations.

Croup and Whooping Cough. Mrs. T. Neureuer, Euu Claire, Wis., says; “Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound cured ray boy of a very severe attack of croup after other remedies had failed. Our milkman cured his children of whooping coftgh.” Foley’s has a forty years’ record of similar rases. Contains no opiates. Always insist on Foley’s.—A. F. LONG.
