Why Endure Summer Colds? It isn’t necessary to have a stuffed head, running nose. To cough your head off as it were. All you need do is to use Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Koncy. The soothing and healing balsams open the clogged air passages and in a short time you get relief and start on the road to recovery. Your nose stops running, you cough less and j ou know you are getting better. Get a bottle, use as directed. Keep what is left as a cough and cold insurance.—Advt.

TRAIN HITS BUGGY; TWO DEAD

Man and Wife Killed on Vandalia Railroad at Bicknell, near Vincennes, Ind. Vincennes. Ind., July 28.—-Mr. and Mrs. Lee Small, prominent residents of Knox county, were killed when a Vandalia passenger train struck their buggy in BicknelL I Seat Im, the Thermometer. It dsn': the weather that is hot so much as it-is the way you live that is hot. There are hot livers and cool livers pretty much the year around. If you know the art of hot weather housekeeping you can get along very comfortably. Do you realize, |for instance, the difference it makes when things Just look cool? Take the cloth off the dining table and see if it doesn't look cooler. Take the roast off and put a green salad in its place and See if it doesn’t look cooler yet There is coolness in summer furniture, too. Put away the heavy library table and sjbstitute something in light wicker and see how the temperature of the room drops. Upholstered chairs should go, too, and light, hard surfaced ones be put in their place. Roll up the heavy rugs. You can have straw cr grass matting if you lilfe, hut a bare polished floor is the coolest. Window draperies and all hangings should come down, and even pictures that are heavily framed should be removed. Everything suggestive of heaviness or stuffness should be banished. This includes all manner of cushions and the cats that usually may be found sleeping on them. And if you are so unfortunate as to have anything like a plush piano stool in the room or a plush album, fire them first of all. If you do these things right you can make the living room look as cocl as the lounging deck of a ship Of course, the room must be dark ened during the day. Keep the sue out. Keep even the sun-heated aix out. You can do that by closing the windows and lowering the curtains and the awnings, too, if you have them. Don't be afraid that you wil: make the room hot by Hosing, the windows. The cool air is inside dur ing the day.—Kansas City Times.

Paper Pulp Balls for Fuel.

An accumulation of old newspapers may be converted into an excellent fuel, for use in stove, fireplace of furnace. The papers should be piled into a tub or other water-hold-ing receptacle until it is about onethird full, and the tub then filled to the brim with water. Left thus for two or three days, the papers will become thoroughly soaked. If at first they show an inclination to float, a heavy stone laid on top will weight them down until the water completely covers them. When thoroughly soaked with water, the papers are taken from the water and squeezed into balls about the size of one’s two fists and thrown onto the ground in the sun to dry. The papers have become so soft and pulpy that a perfectly compact ball is easily formed. It will dry, if left in the sun long enough, until it is almost as hard as w T ood. These balls, if made in the summer, will constitute excellent fuel for winter use, and will burn in the fireplace with a glow like carbon briquettes. Aloreover, they will burn with compara live little ash, and they are clean to handle. Old papers become a real nuisance about the home, and are rather difficult to dispose of, even by burning on the trash heap. A summer’s accumulation can be, in the manner above described, converted into a considerable supply of fuel, and the labor is easy and can be done at odd times.—Scientific Ameri can.

Fly Don’ts.

Don’t tolerate flies. Don’t allow them in your house Don’t allow them on your premises. Don’t allow garbage, rubbish or manure to accumulate on your lot Oi near it. Don’t allow dirt in your house Look ip the corners, behind the doors and furniture, under stairs and he Is. Remove the cuspidors. In brFI, keep the house clean. Don’t allow flies near food, especially milk. Don’t buy foodstuffs where flies are allowed. Don’t eat where flies are found. Don’t forget the screens. Don’t forget to write to the boaro of health if there is a fly-breeding nuisance in your neighborhood.— Kansas City Star.

Reports from different parts of the county state that the yielo will average about id ' vshels pe> with a heat's crop of straw. rhairman Hayes of the state Re publican committee is ending out tearful pleas to members of the Progressive party urging them to join with the Republicans in helping to wrest the offices from the Demc rats, but his appeals are falling upon deaf ears. M. A. Hoag has purchased the T XV. Burton resort on the Kankakee river northeast of Lake Village and has taken possession. This is one of the most popular resorts on the river, and *t will not lose any of its popularity under th*> management ot Mr. Hoag.—-Momeneo Reporter.

Miller's place, says that there was S6OO insurance on the barn, S6OO on the corn and SIOO on the corn crib and the total estimated a loss of $3,500.

Metzker of the Plymouth Democrat, who recently resigned from the board of trustees of the tuberculosis hospital at Rockville, has been appointed by Governor Ralston on the state board of trustees of the school for feeble minded at Fort Wayne, succeeding the Rev. Anthony Ellering, resigned. Joseph Bundle of Zionsville has been appointed successor to Mr. Metzker on the board of the state tubercular hospital. The local merchants have been obliged to replenish their supply or binder twine several times. Rens selaer was the closest place where it could be obtained, showing that oui neighboring towns were in about ths same condition as we were. While most of the straw is short there seems to be a thick stand, due no doubt to the fact that many put in a heavy crop of seed thinking it would not all grow. At any rare we will have a heavier crop with the increase of the straw.—Brook Re porter. Mistaking a large dog that ran across the street in front of his machine for a child, David Gershuny, 1700 North 12th street, Lafayette', who was driving in his Ford car with his little six-year-old son at quite a rapid rate, gave the wheel a sharp turn to the right and the car struck the curb, bursting one of the rear tires and causing the machine to tur nturtle.

Whittles Violin Fingers.

In order to become a more proficient violin artist Mark Sandfort, a member of an orchestra here, had a piece of flesh taken from each of sis fingers. The incisions were drawn together and sewn up with horse hair. The operation was performed by Dr. H. S. Hickok, and Sandfort will be able to remove the bandages soon. Sandfort has won a reputation as a violinist. However, his execution of musical selections was not as good as he desired it to be. He hit upon a plan. He would have his fingers whittled down. He waited until the season closed and had the operation performed. Six of his fingers, three on each hand, were cut open, a piece of flesh™, taken from each and the sides drawn together and sewn with horse hair. Sandfort was under an anaesthetic for several hours during the opera tion. He is convinced that when the bandages are removed he will be able to play both the violin and piano much better than before the operation. According to physicians, this is the first time that an operation of this kind has been performed.— Wichita (Kan.) Cor. New York Sun
