Should Sloan’s Liniment Go Along? Of course it should! For after a strenuous day when your muscles have been exercised to the limit an application of Sloan's Liniment will take the soreness and stiffness away and get you in fine shape for the morrow.

U. S. Has 21,000,000 Able-Bodied Citizens of Military Age.

Washington, July 5. —A census bureau table issued yesterday estimates the number of able-bodied men of military age in the United States at about 21,000,000 men. The estimate is based on the assumption that/there has been an increase of 10 per cent in the population since 1910, when the total male population over 18 years and under 46 was 18,183,000. Of this number 14,224,000 were native whites, 2,857,000 were foreign-born whites who had become naturalized; 2,052,000 were negroes, and 50,000 were Indians. It is estimated there are in Indiana 596,682 male citizens of military age. During the Civil war, when the population of the country exclusive of the seceding states was less than one-fourth as great as the total present population, the number of men serving in the Northern army at one time or another, was 2,500,000. There are four states, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, where the men of military age number more than 1,000,000. In geograpical subdivisions the total for the Northern states is 13,094,415, for the Southern states, 6,006,139, and for the Western states, 1,970,322.

Centennial News Letter.

Randolph county is taking its measure for a county pageant to be presented in October. Culver, in conjunction with the Culver academy, has outlined a varied and interesting celebration for July 27. Aurora, down in old Dearborn, is looking forward to giving a celebration and pageant the first week in October. Fike county will celebrate the centennial at Petersburg, August 3-4, with a pageant, which, like that of Evansville, will take two nights for presentation. The Bartholomew county celebration to be held September 4, will center in a pageant, under the direction of Professor A. W. Mason. The various episodes will be supplied by the different townships of the county. The graduating class of the college and academy of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods made a splendid success of their dramatization at commencement of “Alice of Old Vincennes.' This was the first event of their centennial observance, to be continued in the fall. The Tipton centennial log cabin being erected by the Tiptcn “senate’’ from logs contributed from all over the county, is well on the wa: toward completion. It is located it. the city park and will make an ideal home for the county museum of pioneer relics. As its part in the historic parade in the Tell City celebration, the sewing circle of the Evangelical church will present a float representing the stork bringing the firs baby to Tell City. “Keep your eye on the stork!’’ is their slogan and not half bad either. Marshall and Fayette counties ape arranging to display: tneir pioneel relic exhibits in the show windowsof their stores at the time of their celebrations. This solves the question of a good, safe exhibit space, distributes the interest and is an excellent advertisement for the business men who back the celebrations. The pageant of Troy! No, gentle reader, this is no Hellenicized portrayal of old Ilium’s tragedy. It is just a sure enough Hoosier pageant of a Hoosier town in Perry county and written by a 33d degree Hoosieroon in the person of Thos. James de la Hunt, Ferry’s resourceful chairman. He has already written the county pageant to be given at Cannelton in September.
