Remington Is Experiencing an Ice Famine.

Wolcott and Goodland still have limited supplies on hand and a few Remington people are driving to those towns each day in the|r autos to secure ice for their family-refrigerators.

Another Auto Accident Near Lowell

Hammond, August B.—Mrs. Daisy Fisk, aged 39, of Kankakee, 111., was brought to Hammond on the Monon railroad this morning and removed to St. Margaret’s hospital in an ambulance, suffering intensely from a fracture of the right arm and internal injuries, received in an automobile accident Sunday night on the Lowell-Crown Point road. Five people were in the machine which was driven by a man named Epstein. They were going south when the auto left the road and after tearing through several spans of barbed wire stopped in a corn field. Several members of the party were cut by the wire and given medical attention at the office of Dr. John W. Iddings in Lowell. Mrs. Fisk was the most seriously injured.

Swimming Holes.

Memory goes tracking back through the years to the old swimming hole. This noe was on the “current side’’ of a great river, and the nadir of one of its majestic bends. Huge elm and oak trees grew on the bank and shaded waters whose limpid depths held such delights as nowhere else have been experienced. The smooth rock bottom of the river was ever washed clean, while the white sand of the bit of beach along the shore was firm and grateful to the foot. This ideal spot was not easy of ac cess, but the enterprising youth of the village found ample recompense in its joys for any exertion, even on the hottest day, required to reach it. Those who swam there, now grown gray, look at the homes that have invaded their happy land with some thoughts of sorrow.

The old swimming hole is only a cherished memory. its wonderful freedom, in all ways appreciated by a healthy boy, is contrasted with the modern swimming hole, provided by a great city, mindful of the needs of its growing citizens. In this case it is a huge tank, set on the slope of one of the fine hills in a city park, surrounded by beautiful trees, a wellkept lawn, and provided with all the appurtenances needful to the complete enjoyment of the boldest swimmer or most graceful or daring dive*. It is a wonderful pool and the shouts of glee that come up from its surface these hot evenings testify most forcefully to the appreciation of old and young of the privilege. The new swimming hole is typical of the newer life into which the race is merging its existence, the urban rather than the rural. It is a regular step in the orderly progress of man’s evolution, but its well appointed, and equally regulated delights will never take the place of that splendid swimming hole nature provided for the use of boys, many of whom are now grandfathers.— Omaha Beet

WEATHER FOR SATURDAY, rsw

The New Way.

Time was that father used to be the children’s wisest guide and rriend, He knew the name of every tree, the Indian trails that twist and bend; The call of every happy bird, its habits and its nesting place, And from his lips we often heard the stories of an ancient race. He taught us how to work and play, we learned a lot those days from him. But mother has his job today, she teaches all the kids to swim.

’Twas father in the bygone days who led us to the swimming hole And in the good old-fashioned way, without a word on breath control Or lecture on the swimming art, just stripped us children to the skin, Then with a sort of swinging start said, “Here you go!” and threw us in, And always when we rose in fear and gasped to catch a breath of air We found that dad was standing near and danger wasn’t really there.

There were no frills about his style, at him the teachers now would scoff, If we stood, trembling, on a pile, he came behind and pushed us off. He took each one of us in turn, a single lesson’s all we had. It seemed an easy thing to learn to swim or float or dive from dad. But things are different today, dad isn’t teaching any more. Since mother learned the proper way, she’s giving lessons on the shore. .

She tells them how to breathe and how to hold their hands and what to do, . She bears them up and whispers, “Now just try to take a stroke or two.” And idle father, standing near, says sometimes with a spreading grin, “They'll never learn that way, my dear; get on the dock and shove ’em in.” But mother answers, horrified, “I’ve had instructions in a gym. If you will go away and hide I’ll teach/ the children how to swim.’’

Twice Proven H If you suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired, dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don’t experi--i. Read this twice-;old testimony. It’s Rensselaer’s evidence—doubly proven: . Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St.. Rensselaer, says: “I had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins that I couldn't sleep well, I felt tired and worn-out when morning came. The kidney secretions were highly colored and I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally used, Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from B. F. Fenriies Drug Store, and they gave me relief at once. They strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backaches and gave me strength and ambition.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) . v On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Hickman said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have done the same good work in the family that I described as my experience in a former recommendation. They are a fine medicine and I shall always praise them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hickman has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, X. Y.—Adv.

"THE WHOLE TRUTH” Says Mrs. Eads, in Writing Her Praise Fcr Cardui. Circleville, Ohio.—“ All I have said about Cardui, the woman’s tonic, is the whole truth,” says Mrs. Fannie Eads, of R. F. D. No. 6, this town. “I suffered with womanly weakness, and pains in my back and limbs for two long years. I was so bad off, I could hardly walk at all. My husband advised me to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I concluded to follow his advice. After taking Cardui according to directions, I now feel like a new woman, and can do all of my work. Before taking Cardui, I was a walking skeleton; now I weigh 150 pounds. I recommend Cardui to every suffering woman, for I know what it did for me. My dresser is never without a bottle of Cardui on it.” There is no reason why Cardui won’t help you, just as it has Mrs. Eads, as well as hundreds of thousands of other women in the-, past 50 years. So if you suffer from any of the many ailments so common to women, or need a good strengthening tonic for that tired, nervous, worn-out feeling, get a bottle of Card-u-i, today. At all druggists.
