T Ung rhubarb. The little ones suffered excruciating pain. The ser
vices of a physician were needed and a stomach pump had to be applied. Just why the plant should have proved poisonous to the system of the little girls has not been determined. It
Is not believed their sickness was
caused by eating a too large supply.
SHE QUIT But It was a Hard Pull.
' It la hard to believe that coffee will
(put a person in such a condition as it did an Ohio woman. . She tells her
own story:
"I did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it mo well I would not, nor could not quit
unnung it, even if it took my life,
Tut 1 was a miserable sufferer from tieart trouble and nervous prostration
lor four years.
. was scarcely able to be around at all. Had. no energy and did not are for anything. " Was emaciated
nd had a constant pain around my
neart until 1 thought I could not en
ure it For months I never went to
ted expecting to get up in the morn
ing. 1 ieit as though I was liable to
die any time during the night.
Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive
leep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. I was gradually setting worse until finally one time It came over me, and I asked myself
what is the use of-being sick all the time and buying; medicine so that I
: could Indulge myself in coffee?
"So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking coffee and got some "Postum to help me quit. I made it strictly according to directions and I want to tell you that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee because I had the Poatum which I like better than f like the
old coffee.
"One by one the old troubles left, until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right, and the pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills, don't ' take)' any medi
cine, can do all my housework and
have done a great deal beside. .
my Bisier-in-iaw, wno visited me ibis summer, had been an invalid for some time, much as I was. I got her
to quit coffee and drink Postum. She gained five pounds In three weeks.

ing, June 11. at the high school chapel. Prof- f Aley is one of. the best known educators in Indiana, having been before his recent election to the
MYSTERY 1 8tate superintendency, a professor at
inaiana university. Frof. C. W.
Knouff, of the local high school, who
is well acquainted with ; him, states
that Mr. Aley Is one of the most pleasing speakers he evef heard.
The class, as well as the high school
faculty and Superintendent T. A, Mott, are busily engaged preparing the rest of the program. It is probable that Mr. Aley will be the only one from out
of the city to speak at the commence
ment.
Departure From Rule. A departure from the rule, hereto
fore, has been attempted by Prof.
Knouff. , Instead of the graduation
pupils writing a thesis they will do an extra amount of English work. This
is more acceptable to the pupils and teachers as well. The valedictorian
and salutatorian of the class will not have a place on the program, as it is often the rule that these two, while the best students, are the poorest speak
ers. The class Includes 45 pupils, who
are candidates for graduation. They
are Charlotte Bayer, Ralph : Brown.

VERY SHORT SESSION
Circuit Court Transacted Only
Small Amount Business. -
of
JUDGE A HOUSE CLEANER
There was very little business trans
acted in circuit court this morning. It was all over ten minutes after court
convened. Two attorneys ' appeared
and told the court of their intentions as to matter now under litigation. The judge heard them, told . then to take formal action and then left the bench. It is house cleaning time at the judge's
house and he believed he was needed
there. H said he had a man hired
to clean up the yard and it was neces
sary for him to sit on a stump and
oversee the job.
Ray Shiveley called the court's at
tention to the settlement in the Wak
ing case. He claimed creditors of William Waking went out of the state and brought attachment proceedings
and since the money secured was not
sufficient, tried to obtain the residue by a suit in the local court. It was pointed out that the creditors left the
jurisdiction of the local court, first and afterward tried to return.

n Old Time Sea Feed. A glance at the fish shops today
arouses the reflection that on could
have fasted with fsr more rariety In
tne middle ages. : where Is now the
whale of yesteryear that was roasted and serred on the spit or boiled with peas, the tongue and tail being the
choicest parts? The porpoise, too, was
a royal dish, roasted whole aad eaten
with mustard, when Henry VII. was
sang, and so was the grampas or sea wolf. The lamprey, after its one dra
matic and regtcMLal performance, seems
to bare lost Its popularity, and nobody nowadays Is anxious to sat the limpet. Many flsh, howeTcr, seem to have endured throughout the aces, such as

The large gravel pit at East German-

largest in this section of the state.
During the summer season the compa

to Cambridge City and East German-

Ths American Voice.
I think myself that what, as much
as anything else, laid the foundation
of the American voice was the nerv
ous Ul health, lasting over three or four generations, of the American woman. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century and even beyond for
eigners were surprised when they came across a healthy looking woman. The Isolation of frontier life, the general
tension of the American climate, malaria, bad diet and worse sanitation combined to turn one-half the nation Into semi-invalids, and the thin, sharp, slovenly, staccato tones of the Ameri
can women were as often as not the result of physical and nervous depression. I do not say that 111 health was
the sole cause, but it Is undoubtedly
tne zact tnat as the health of Americans has Improved so 7 have - theii voices. London Standard. CARD OF THANKS. TVe wish to thank the friends who tendered their kind assistance and sympathy in our sad bereavement. Mrs. John Zeyen and Family.'

immense patronage accorded this play
has made it necessary to present it

that proves beyond question that the public Is always willing . to pay for productions of real merit. It will be the offering at the Gennett theater
on Monday night. ;-
