Fire Insurance Reduction After years of persistent effort Richmond has at last obtained fire insurance rates in the business and manufacturing districts that are fair and equitable to manufacturer and business

man. The work 01 tne men wno Dnng aDouv a piece of public benefaction such as this, is often overlooked by citizens who see public service only in the spectacular and monumental. Rate reduction in Richmond, enjoyed by manufacturer and business man, must be attributed to the arduous and painstaking efforts of the insurance committee of the Commercial club. The members of this committee did the work, fought the battle, solved the knotty problems, and stuck to the proposition in the discouraging days when it seemed probable that all effort was to come to naught. It takes tremendous civic spirit, disinterested love for the community, unselfish devotion to duty for a group of men to persist in a task whose completion brings them no monetary rewards and too often, alas, not even deserved gratitude and recognition from the community in which the good was done and for whose benefit the work was accomplished. If the members of the insurance committee worked zealously to obtain rate reductions, they .are now enjoying the tangible satisfaction of knowing that success has crowned their effort.

EDWARDS DESCRIBES NIGHT LIGHTS SEEN CLOSE TO ECONOMY

ECONOMY, Ind., April 14. Nathan Edwards is responsible for the following story: "Our hair generally stands at the forty-fifth degree angle but it's perpendicular since the following story was related by George W. Johnson to us Saturday evening: "There is something funny going on ' while people are sleeping these spring nights. Jack o'lanterns or will-'o-the-tvlsps have been showing up of evenings about 9 or 10 o'clock. Last niglt ! saw fifty different colored lights dancing over Al Hiatt's house. Then in the twinkling of an eye they moved 'ike a streak of lightning over to the house of Tom Cain where a brilliant display of colored lights lit up the eastern sky, from Cains to Gus Weyl s. It looked like a tc rch light procession for the precious fifty lights was augmented by an additional 100 which caused them to become embellished with an inspiring phenomena.' "Well, those lights are significant as well as magnificent and are they a warning to the citizens of Perry township to look for an abundant crop of worms, caterpillars and flees this summer? Mr. Johnson is honest in his belief and we give his words verbatim."

FERTILIZER PLANT BUYS STONE LAND NEW PARIS. Ohio, April 14 The oersonal and real estate property of he late Margaret E. Mitchell was disposed of Saturday at public sale. W. C Crose purchased the dwelling on Cherry street, John O'Dea the farm property, and an out-of-town man the ot known as "the north quarry" a'here the valuable deposits of limeStone are to be found. This is the place where the fertilizer plant will be erectd for the purpose of manufacturing lime-stone fertilizer. Stomach Sufferers Should Avoid Pepsin Eminent stomach specialists like Riegel have proven that there is not one case in twenty which needs pepsin sr an artificial digestant. The trouble Is not a lack of digestive juices, but 'oo much acid in the stomach which Jestroys the action of the digestive luices and causes your food to ferment ind 60ur, producing poisonous gases ind toxic products which often cause iiliousness, . internal disorders, nervousness, headaches, general weakness, tc. Neutralize the excess acid In your Uomach, give the digestive juices a ;hance to act, and you will be all right. Never take large quantities of oda or soda tablets to neutralize exjess acid. It is dangerous. Doubtless the best thing to neutralize excess acid is Bisurated Magnesia, taken In teaspoonul doses in a fourth glass of water after meals. It will neutralize about four times as much acid as soda and is very soothing and healing to the delicate, inflamed membranes of both the stomach and intestines. It usually gives relief in the worst cases in from one to five minutes. Bisurated Megnesia is prepared in both powder and tablet form; it is sold by all leading druggists of this city. The manufacturers absolutely guarantee that It will give complete .-elief in any case of stomach acidity or your money will be refunded. adv.

A thankful community ought gladly extend them thanks and let them know that their work was appreciated. Too often are these amenities overlooked. Their observance helps make life better and happier.

SHOVELS 25 TONS OF COAL EACH DAY

Were J. Adam Helmlch. 601 South Eleventh street, other than a good Lutheran, he would have nothing, to fear In eternity. Helmlch has the coal shoveling record for the city. He is the "fire-up" man at the round house of the Pennsylvania railroad and he does nothing all day but shovel coal. Yesterday he celebrated his sixtyfifth birthday by shoveling the average . dally allotment of twenty-five tons of coal. He also passed bis thirty-first year on the job. Last night Helmlch shoveled his 282.900th ton of coal. Then he walked a mile and a quarter to his home and slept a good sleep in preparation of shoveling his 282,901st ton of coal today. Railroad statisticians have figured that Helmlch has shoveled coal which would fill 9,429 average sized cars, which if hooked end to end, would make a train fifty-four miles long, or 400 good sized trains. Helmlch never takes a vacation. One day a year he stays away from work. This on Good Friday, which Helmlch observes religiously. CATCH BIG FISH. MILTON, Ind., April 14.

Here Arc Sane Red Fscts How to Overcome the Torture Without Harmful Drugs. A legion of people hare used S. S. S. and have overcome the worst forms of rheumatism. This disease of the blood Is little understood because of its strange symptoms, scarcely two people having it exactly alike. And yet, no matter what its form or how painful and distressing, 8. S. S. seems to have almost a divine influence in driving it out, releasing the nerves from pain and clearing the Joints and muscles so they work without restraint. The best explanation for this happy result Is the fact that In 8. S. 8. are certain ingredients which act as an antidote. They are nature's providence to man. Just as the meats, fats, salts and sugars of o::r daily food provide us with nourishment, so does S. S. S. give to the blood the exact medicinal requirement to clear the stream, drive out Impurities and reconstruct the body if destructive germs have gained a foothold.
