“Slowed Up at Middle Age. The hard working kidneys seem to require aid sooner than other internal organs.

Doing Their Duty

Scores of Rensselaer Readers Are Learning the Duty of the, Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidneys’ duty. When they fail to do this the kidneys are weak. Backache ;ind other kidney IBs may follow. Help the kidneys do their work. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—the tested kidney remedy. Rensselaer people endorse their worth. Nelson Randle N. Main St., Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney pills at different times when suffering from a lame and aching’ back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I got this medicine at Fendig’s drug store. Relief soon followed its use and the backache and other kidney ailments were removed. I do not know of a case where Doan’s Kidney Pills have failed to prove of benefit.”

Price 50 c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney PillSr —the same that Mr. Randle had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt.

Obituary

Mrs. Ruth A. Phillips. Mrs. Ruth A. Phillips, oldest daughter of Daniel and Rebecca Hale Grant, was born in Rush county, Ind., June 24, 182 S, and fell asleep at- 10 a. m., .May 10, 1915, aged 86 years, 10 months and 16 days at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. R. Rishling, Rensselaer, Ind., with whom she resided. When quite small she removed with her parents to Wabash county, and March 25, 1850, to Jasper county, where *she has since resided. Sept. 26, 1854, she was married to Fleming Phillips, whose decease occurred 20 years ago, and to them were born two children, Mrs. Rishling and George, who died two years ago. Besides her daughter there sur vive her one sister, Mrs. Norman Warner, and two brothers, Alton and Shelby Grant, all of Rensselaer, also three grandchildren, one great grandchild and numerous relatives. Fourteen years ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis, but was not wholly disabled by it until five years ago she fell and broke a hip from which injury she has been confined to her bed to the last, being tenderly and faithfully cared for by her daughter. She bore her affliction patiently, and her chief cause of dissatisfaction in it seemed to be that she must be a care to anyone. When 18 years old, she became a member of the Christian church, and 20 years ago was united to the Church of God at Rensselaer, and continued in faith and hope to the end. "The memory of the just is blessed.” Funeral services were held at the home in Rensselaer, at 10 a. m.. May 12, by J. W. Williams, and was buried beside her husband in Osborne cemetery in Hanging Grove township.—J, w. WILLIAMS.

Don’t Be a “Grouch.” Many persons acquire a reputation for crankiness and grouchiness w’hen their dispositions are not to blame. Peevishness, irritation, morbidness, biliousness, melancholia most often are the result of impaired digestion and torpid liver. Foley Cathartic Tablets make you light, cheerful and energetic.—A. F. LONG.

Our Big Pauper Army.

Pauperism! in this great American land of abundant opportunity there should be, and there are, fewer paupers in proportion to population than in any other country on earth. Yet even here these helpless derelicts are to be found in too large numbers. The government census report for 1910 states that on January 1, of that year, there were in almshouses alone ii) the United States 84,1 98 persons dependent on public support. This may not seem a startling number, but it must be remembered that there are many other institutions for the shelter of the pov-erty-stricken, including jails, reformatories, hospitals, orphan and insane asylums, homes for the aged, etc. The aggregate of the impoverished in all of these institutions is ex tremely large. Pauperism is, therefore, a distinct blight on the community, and to a large extent it is inexcusable. Accidents, sickness, reverses due to others’ misconduct or weakness sometimes reduce people to destitution. in most cases, however, laziness, unthrift' and extravagance are responsible for this. Every young American should take warning from the pauper’s plight and set out firmly to deny himself, to save money, to invest it safely and to' provide a competency for his declining years.—Leslie’s.

Newcastle.—The case against J. Leb Watkins, mayor of Newcastle, charged with malconduct in office, has been set for June 3. Motions to quash the indictments were overruled. They were made on the ground that the indictments charged no crime in Henry county, but alleged only that Watkins “agreed” to shield Ollie Skinner, a gambler. Washington. Glenn McCrosson, who was arrested several days ago in Troy, 0., on a charge of assault and battery with intent to commit a felony, growing out of the robbing of Harry Clements, a local pool room proprietor, entered a plea of guilty to a grand larceny charge and was sentenced to from one to eight years in the state reformatory.

Valparaiso.—The mutilated body of an unidentified man found on the Lake Shore railroad right of way at Chesterton indicates a possible murder mystery. A fractured skull is taken to indicate that the man was robbed and murdered and the body thrown on the track. The victim apparently was forty-five years old. His pockets appeared to have been rifled and gave no clue to the man’s identity.

Indianapolis.—-A resolution pledging support of President Wilson and any course he may pursue in the European war crisis was forwarded to Washington by the board of directors of the Indianapolis chamber of commerce. “We recognize in our president the one authorized to speak in behalf of the United States,’’ the resolution says, “and we have full faith in his integrity, wisdom and patriotism.” Goshen. —Declaring that the liquor laws must be enforced to the letter, following the going out of eleven saloons here July 31, as the result of the local option election May 3, Mayor Spohn has announced that starting June 1 he will hold city court each day at a stated time.

Last year Oldfield was the first American driver to finish, but had four Europeans romp in ahead of him. Mulford, in 1911, finished second, and has wanted a first ever since. This year, Oldfield, to prevent a repetition of last year’s performance, is himself to drive a foreign car, a Bugatti, while Mulford is to try his luck in a machine of his own.
