Could Make Brick, These priscmers, acc-ording to the work "making verified brick for the paving of roads and also some of them would be engaged in farming. It is pointed out that such a plan would relieve the prison and the reformatory of a number of men, and would give the prison officials a better chance to accomplish reformation and the best work among those that are left. It is said that W. S. Blatchley, täte geologist, would, when the proper time comes, be able to furnish information as to where the r roper land could be purchased.

If you will suggest in print that the whole country do the same, the Red Cross will prosper to your content. I know this, for I know that all America is warm at heart and generous at this time of the year, and will thank you for your suggestion and follow it. Respectfully yours. "Mark Twain." Robbed of $35.

The majority of the stations will be of small capacity, with a range of from H!0 to 300 miles, but some, which arc intended for long distance service, will be of greater capacity to transmit wireless messages, under all conditions of weather, for a range of from 500 to 2,000 miles overland and from 1,000 to 3,000 miles vcr the water. !

LEGISLATURE

WILL CONVENE ON JANUARY. 7, AND HANLY WILL BE GOVERNOR FOUR DAYS. Lieut-Governor Miller Will Preside Over Senate and Can Appoint . Committeesi. There has been considerable discussion recently as to how long after the legislature convenes Governor Hanly will serve as governor and Hugh T. Miller will serve as lieutenant governor. It has been announced ithat the legislature will convene on January 7, and that Thomas R. .Mar shal will be inaugurated as governor and Frank J. Hall as lieutenant governor on January 11. "Thus, during four days of the essiom Hugh T. Miller will preside in' tihe senate as lieutenant governor. Some have looked on this as an innovation and have characterized it as a trick of the Republicans to allow 'Mr. Miller to appoint the committees in the senate. As a matter of fact, the constitution of the state specifically provides when the legislature .oJall convene and when the official terms of the governor and the lieutenant governor shall begin. Convening of Legislature. The constitution provides that the legislature shall convene on the first Thursday after the first Monday in January every two years, and that the official terms of the governor and lieutenant governor shall begin on the second Monday in January every four years. This rule has been followed ever since the present constitution was adopted. Four years ago Governor Durbin was the executive of the state for four days after the session of the legislature was convened. It has never been customary, though, for the legislature to take up any work of consequence until after the governor and lieutenant has leen inaugurated.. Usually the committees are not appointed in either branch until after the inauguration, and, as a rule no bills are introduced before the inauguration. BUTTER SOMETIMES BAD. State Drug Commissioner Says Farm Product Does not Average as Good as Creamery. When the average housewife asks for country butter and objects if the grocer attempts to tell her ;he has something just as good, or even better she had better take t'.ie advice of the grooerj provided he can make good has assertions concerning the product he proposes to substitute.. This much is gathered from the forthcoming report of H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, in flhe chapter devoted to food analysis for 1908. From time immemorial the prudent housewife has thought that, country butter is the sum total of excellence in "that class of dairy products. She may hesitate to accept he view of the state commissioner, but he has his assertions backed up by figures compiled by expert chemrs'ts and is prepared to support tT.iem. In his report he saysu "The character of the country butter sold throughout the state is most unsatisfactory. Occasionally the butter produced at the farm is of fair quality, but by far the larger amount is of such a poor grade that it can not compete with the butter produced at the creamery, and consequently much of it finds its way to tfhe renovating factory. Samples of country butter purchased on the Indianapolis market have contained as much as 33 per cent moisture. The averagewater content of these -butters is so high that it can not be legally 'sold. The only explanation for the unsatisfactory character of country butter, once so highly prized and in such demand, is the lack of knowledge of tf.ie maker and the use of unsatisfactory utensils." The state laboratory tested eightynine samples of butter during- the year and sixty of these samples were classed as pure, and .twenty-nine illegal. Twenty-one of the illegal samples were1 .sen in by health officials or dealers who suspecrel their character. Mr. Barnard found some oleomargarine solo when butter is called for, but, says the report: "Both dealers and manufacturers of this wiholesome food product are beginning to realize tlh.e wisdom of sellinig oleomargarine on its nerits and riot as a substitute when butter is called for. Mr. Barnard finds the greatest fraud practiced by restaurant and boarding house keepers who buy uncolored oleomargarine and, havinig colored it, serve it as butter. The practice is illegal, but the offenders are extremely hard to catch. 1909 Has One Hoodoo Day. During the year 1900 there will be but one Friday, the 13t). During this year there were several cf such days but the year 1009 will have but one r.nd that will be in the month of August. According to the weather prognosticators who figured out the kind of 'weather for at least a year ahead, a storm wave is to cross the continent at that time. Thunder storms with destructive lightnirwg and hail will cause muah dama'ge to crops and buildings. In the southern part of the country there will be a heavy wind with rain storms if tine weather men have their way about it. Series of Township Meetings.

THE STORE THAT ALWAYS MAKES GOOD

CANCER,ITS CAUSE AND PREVENTION STATE SHOULD DO SOMETHING IN INVESTIGATING THIS DISEASE. Average Annual Death Roll From Cancer for Past Five Years is 1367, The state should do something to discover the cause and prevention of cancer. It is slowly increasing and is the cause of an enormous loss oi money and happiness to the people. Medical science does not know the secret of cancer. Its cause is unknown. The pathologists have so far been foiled an-d the täte should ivelp . on 'the search. It woul l be money in the state's pocket to do so, writes J. N. Hurty of the State Board of Health. The annual death roll -from cancer is startling. The average annual tleaihs from cancer for the last five years in Indiana is 1367. The annual average total deaths from all cause tor the same period is 36,461. Then from these facts we learn, that oi every 23 deaths, one is from cancer. Surlv, rt is 'hig-h trmc we wre getting after cancer with a big sticV. If we are ignorant of the cause and origin of cancer, why' arc wc ignorant? One reason for our ignorance lies in the fact that the private workers in medicine have so far had the whole burden to bear. The state has not so much as lifted its finger to unravel 'the caacer secret, and yet, no subject is of more importance to tie people. Suppose Indiana were to establish a Pasteur ..Institute, and no better name could be found, and suppose the scientists in control should In five or ten years discover tl caus anl hence the control of cancer, then vgreat honors and profit would be ours. The plain way for us to practice true economy is to discover, and then conform to the laws of our well being. Indiana could weH afford to expend one or even ten million dollars, if found necessary, just to know from whence cancer proceeds. This secret being known4 then prevention is possible. It ' is an easy matter to convince ithose wuo have cancer or those families which have been torn by it, that the above proposition is true. The trouble lies in convincing those who are certain they will escape, the horror, and who in their selfishness will not act: Oh, for a statesman who will lead a big ecomy, and leave cheese paring and all minor things to low ambition and the pride of kings. $200,000 IN GIFTS DESTROYED. Trains Crash in Chicago, and Although No One is Injured Contents of Cars Are Lost. Christmas mail and express valued at $200,000 was destro'ed in the Chicago and Alton yards Tuesday night wüicn a Baltimore & Ohio freight train ran into an Alton passenger tran bound for St. Louis it Thirtyeighth street and Artesian avenue. The Alton train carried several hun drcd passengers. The mail loaded down wkh Christmas presents for the west, was next to t'.ie locomo tive and the express car, carrying even a heavier and more valuaM' holiday freight, was just behind the mail car. What caused the collision has not yet been exp-lalne-d by the officials of the two railroads. The freight wa? not going very fast but owing to it? great weight it kept rigv.it on goinp when rt struck the passenger train The engine was smashed to bits but singularly, neither the enginee nor fireman was hurt, and he only in jury that occurred from the disaste was a burned hand sustained by a mail clerk.

Deafness Cannot De Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to ewe deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is cause by an nflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, tnd when it,4S entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the in lammation can be taken out and this rube restored to its normal condition, hearing -will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We wll give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness ("caused by Toledo. O. Sold by Druggists. 75c. -atarrh) that cannot be cured by ball's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu'ars free. F. J. CHENEY &.
