Spring Medicine There is no other season when good medicine is so much needed as in the Spring. The blood is impure, weak and impoverished—a condition indicated by pimples and other eruptions on the face and body, by deficient vitality, loss of appetite, lack of strength, and want of animation. Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills Make the blood pure, vigorous and rich, create appetite, give vitality, strength and animation, and cure all eruptions. Have the whole family begin to take them today. “Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been used in our family for some time, and always with rood results. Last spring I was all run down and got a bottle of it, and as usual received great benefit.” Miss Batman Botox, Stowe, VL Hood’s Sarsaparilla promisee to cure and keeps the promise.

Hemphill and Clift Acquitted.

Squire Fay, of Parr, refhsed to try the assault and battery oases of Fred Hemphill and Charles Clift last, Friday, and the case was sent back to Squire Burnham, and the cases were tried before a jury. From the evidence it appeared that Hemphill and Clift did not take part in the assault, but used their endeavors to have Parcels desist, and the jury returned a verdict of acquittal. It is reported that Kaub was mistaken for another person, and that the assault was not meant for him. Miss Gertrude Thompson, an up-to-date milliner, of Chicago, has been employed by Miss Mary Meyer for the season, and will now be able to supply the wants of the many. 8. F. Wood, now of Indianapolis, is in the city this week. He has just closed a contract with the Acme Food Co. as traveling salesman at a salary of $ 125 per month, and will work for that company the next year. He will continue to reside in Indianapolis, however. It is estimated by government officials who have kept close account of the different shipments that 40,000 horses and mnles have been purchased in the United States for use by the British army in South Africa. This accounts in a large measure for the increased price of these animals during the last two years. We are pleased to report that Mrs. Smith has fully recovered from her recent severe illness. She says that Bailey’s Laxative Tablets did her more good than anything else. They cure biliousness, liver troubles, fevers, sick headache and all other results of constipation. Try them to-night. Price 10 and 25 cents at A. F. Long’s.

OABTORI Bean the Th® Kind You Han Always Bought

The Union meetings were held at both the Methodist and Presbyterian churches Sunday evening. The services at the latter were for those already belonging to church, while the meeting at the former was for non church members. Both the day and night services were well attended and much interest was manifested. The following points are of interest to all who wish to take advantage of the mortgage exemption law which effects those having mortgage indebtedness. The affidavit must be made out each and every year and filed with the auditor before May 1, and must be sworn to by the person securing the deduction. The assessor has nothing whatever to do with this feature of taxation and the affidavit should be made before a notary public or the county auditor.

The tramp’s days are numbered. No longer will he ride on freight trains unmolested. Detectives are watching for him at every point on the railroads. He will now either have to do the distasteful stunt of walking or go to the work house, which he dreads. The railroads all have special detectives patrolling their lines and train jumpers are promptly arrested and in most cases more promptly fined. It is notunlikely that some day in the not too distant future the genuine tramp or “hobo” will be a curiosity. At least it is hoped so.—Ex.

All OVER THE HOUSE

Woper Way to Perform an Unpleasant Part of Housework. By system and by making use of the many little helps now to be had at trifling cost even dishwashing, which most Women pronounce the most onerous duty of the whole routine of housework—and one ceases to wonder at the verdict when contemplating the way the work is ordinarily done—may be robbed of its unpleasantness. That there is a right way to accomplish this task should go without saying, and as it must go on interminably, to a greater or less extent, in all homes the right way is well worth knowing. The process should begin instead of end, as is the common practice, with the cooking vessels, says Katherine Megee. “Clean as you go" is the motto every cook should conscientiously follow. There is no wiser economy of time, to say nothing of labor. As soon as the contents of a pot or pan are turned into the serving dish the vessel should at once be washed, wiped and placed on the back of the range to dry thoroughly. This can be easily and speedily accomplished if a wire dishrag and pot scraper are used. If, as is sometimes the case, this plan is not feasible, fill each vessel With water and cover closely, the greasy * ones with hot water, but those in which eggs, potatoes or any flour mixture has been cooked with cold water. In the latter instance hot water would serve only to form a crust and make the work of cleansing doubly hard. Iron or porcelain lined vessels are best for cooking purposes. Tin, brass and copper are liable to be affected by acids, oils and salt, and in the hands of the careless are very dangerous. Tin vessels should be kept free from rust. This can best be accomplished by rubbing them well when new with lard, then standing them in the oven until they are thoroughly heated. Wipe dry after each washing. When brass vessels for cooking are in daily use, they require not only to be well washed in hot suds, but also in a hot solution of vinegar and salt, then to be rinsed well and carefullv dried.

Usefulness of Lemons. If you have a throbbing headache, slice a lemon and rub the bits over the brow and the pain will soon go away. If your hair is falling out, rub slices of lemon thoroughly into the roots and over the scalp, washing the head afterward with warm soft water. Squeeze lemon juice into milk, rub the mixture over the (face and neck every night and you will rejoice in the fresh glow of your complexion. j Mix lemon juice and glycerin, rub your hands with it at night, and if 'you are not too nervous wear large i old gloves, and you will wonder at . their dazzling whiteness. I If you have a wart or a vexatious corn, rub lemon juice on with nni tiring zeal and bid defiance to mos- . quitoes with the touch of your little i yellow friend. I A cup of tea is always improved .by slices of fresh lemon, and we all | know how a well mixed lemon i squash can revive the weary stomach. If you go on a water voyage, 1 you must certainly take it with you, • for pure lemon juice will rout all giddiness and seasickness. Care of Plants. The first thing necessary to keep house plants is the preparation of the soil. It is said that a good soil jis made by putting together equal parts of the three following things: ( Soil from the sides of a barnyard, .well rotted manure and leaf mold I from the woods, or earth from the inside of an old tree or stump. Add a small quantity of sand. For cactuses put as much sand as of other materials and a little fine charcoal.

To make house plants grow a most excellent thing is said to be to saturate the earth around them every day with the coffee left over at breakfast. Five to six drops of ammonia to every pint of water once a week will make nouse plants flourish. >' A good way to keep geraniums in winter is to take the plants out of I their pots, trim off the leaves and outer branches, shake off all the ■ soil from the roots, hang them in bunches, roots upward, in a dry, dark closet or cellar where they cannot be touched by the frost. In the spring repot them in good rich soil. A Bouquet of Herbs. In French cookery books we are often directed to use “a bouquet of herbs” in making little dishes. The term is perplexing to the unskilled cook, and she may be glad to know that the “bouquet” means a few sprigs of parsley, a piece of thyme, a little bit of garlic, a bay leaf, a couple of cloves and some peppercorns. The parsley is wrapped round the other herbs and a thread is tied round all.

The Money Raised.

Over (11,000 has been raised by stock subscription for the building of the new K. ot P. hall. It was originally intended to raise but (10,000 by this method, but the responses have been so liberal that it is thought (15,000 can be raised in the same manner and an effort will be made to do so. A structure costing in the neighborhood of (20,000 is contemplated. The balance will be raised by mortgaging the property when completed. There is no longer any doubt that the building will be erected.

Insurance Rate Raised.

The insurance companies of the state have raised all fire rates on businesH houses and stocks of merchandise throughout the state 25 per cent. They claim there is no money in the present rate of insurance. The local agents here are intending to ask for a new rating for certain business property here, owing to changes since|the old rating.

The contract for the Odd Fellows’ new building has been let to Rush & Warren, of Rensselaer, on their bid of last year of $8,400. This action was|decided upon at the regular meeting of the lodge last Thursday evening. Work on the building will commence at an early date.

Daniel Frohman’s Start.

It was Edward Payson Weston, the pioneer long distance pedestrian, who tempted Daniel Frohman, manager of the Lyceum theater of New York, from journalism into the theatrical business. It happened this way: Mr. Weston had returned to New York after his successful walk through the west, and in 1871 he • gave an exhibition against time in the old American Institute'■ building. This was the beginning of our present slx-day walking matches. He hired Franklin Fylea, who was then a Sun reporter, and Daniel Frohman to manage the novel affair. The receipts from this undertaking was more than >IO,OOO, and this success started Mr. Frohman in theatricals. Mr. Frohman has amassed a fortune since then. Mr. Fyles is a leading dramatic critic and playwright.
