Itching Skin Distress by day and night— That’s the complaint of those who are so unfortunate as to be afflicted with Eczema or Salt Rheum —and outward applications do not cure. They can’t. The source of the trouble is in the blood —make that pure and this scaling, burning, itching skin disease will disappear. “I was taken with an itching on my arms which proved very disagreeable. I concluded it was salt rheum and bought a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. In two days after I began taking it I felt better and it was not long before I was cured. Have never had any skin disease since.” Mas. Ida E. Ward, Cove-Point, Md. Hood*s Sarsaparilla and Pills rid the blood of all impurities and cure all eruptions.

The Rensselaer Republican is continuing its meaningless abuse of Congressman Orumpacker to such an extent that it is becoming wearisome. Some one should take its editor by the nape of the neck and lead him away back to the rear where he can sit down and cool off. —Crown Point Register.

An attempt has been made to develope legislation to put a stop to all kinds of rummage sales, such as church societies usually resort to in order to gather in a few shekels for the society’s treasury. It is said that there is a likelihood of spreading dis ease germs in the old goods out up for sale, and the health authorities are urged to have a hand in the subject.

An order has been issued by the postoffice department which prohibits women from becoming rural mail carriers. The order means that a number of ladies in Indiana, who took the recent examination, will not be considered even though they make the best grade. In all parts of the country where the rural mail service has been started, ladies were after the places and in some places they were successful. There are several lady carriers in this state.

Here is a problem; can you solve it? An old country woman died and was survived by three sons.* When it came time to settle her estate it was found that she had left seventeen cows. To the oldest son she bequeathed one-half, to ihe second son, one-third, and to the youngest son, one-ninth. The executors were sorely perplexed as to how to divide the cows. At last some suggested that they borrow a cow from their neighbor. They did so, thus making eighteen cows. The first son received his one-half, or nine; the second his onethird, or six, and the third son his oneninth, or two, making seventeen in all. The neighbor’s cow was returned with many thanks.

The subject of the morning service at tlie Free Baptist church Sunday next will be “The Office Work of the Holy Spiait.” The text for the evening service will “Is the Young Man Safe.” Last Wednesday Miss Belle Burr and Mr. Frank Dewees were married at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Burr, near Foresman.

Sparrow Carriers.

A man in Georgia some time ago caught some sparrows and trained them so that he can open their cage and they will fly back again without any other inducement than the love of their home. This trainer watched the birds carefully and made up his mind that sparrows could be trained to do the work of carrier pigeons and that, as they were smaller, they would be more valuable in case of war. He gave one of his sparrows to a friend who was going a distance of 150 miles and told him to free the bird when he had reached the end of his journey and at the same time to telegraph him when he did so. The bird reached home and went directly to its cage, making the journey in a little over an hoar and a half.
