"The Citizen" The need of a new constitution for Indiana has been uppermost in the minds of many true patriots of the commonwealth for many years. A number of attempts to change the basic law of the state has been made, but none of them has borne fruit. The reason all of them have died is because there was no organized and centralized movement to keep the question before the minds of the people. Recently this difficulty has been overcome by a group of men who, appreciating the need of a revision of the constitution, or of a new constitution, have banded themselves together under the name of the Citizens League. The sole motive of the organization is a disinterested and patriotic effort to obtain for the people of Indiana a constitution that will, incorporate the latest principles of governmental reform. The League in its work to spread the gospel of a new constitution has issued a magazine called Trie Citizen," the first copy of which left the press last week. The editorial statement-of its purpose will best reveal its purpose : "This is the first issue of a monthly magar zine called 'The Citizen.' It is published by the Citizens' League of Indiana and it is the organ of the movement to procure a new constitution for the State. 'The Citizen' will devote its efforts to that and all other forward-looking movements that now or may hereafter engage the people of Indiana. It may be well to avow at the outset that 'The Citizen' is in the field to fight for its cause with the lawful weapons of political warfare. It is free and independent and believes it owes the people of Indiana the candor to say that it expects to be aggressive. No political party, public utility, private enterprise or special inter
est has the slightest vestige of claim upon it, the smallest shadow of influence over it or the least shred of a string to it. The Citizen is the project, the property and-the organ of the Citizens League solely and its services will be to the people of the State. "The Citizens' League of Indiana is comprised of a large and increasing body of citizens who have associated themselves in an effort to procure a new constitution for the State and in other ways to improve the civic status of the Commonwealth. It embraces men of all the political parties. Its ends are not in the least degree partisan. It is not in any wise concerned with parties or candidacies. It seeks only to unite the people of Indiana, in the labor to do what is best for themselves and to make the future better for posterity than the present is for those who live in it. Its cause is the public interest and welfare in whatever ways these may be affected or determined by the quality of government under which the people of the State and all its several and various communities must live. "To give voice to this purpose and to aid in its achievement, 'The Citizen' has been established and will be maintained. It will stick close to its work and do all that can be done for the political redemption and civic progress of Indiana by providing the means for an untrammeled expression of enlightened and militant public opinion. 'The Citizen' has chosen in the field of journalism a free eminence where there is none to molest or make afraid. Its position cannot be challenged, its views influenced or its voice suppressed. It is neither a financial enterprise nor a political adventure. It looks for support to the body of the people whose champion it is, and because this is so it will be wholly above and altogether beyond the evil constraints and sinister coercions that so notoriously warp or stifle the opinions of the public press and throttle the expression of public conscience and aspiration. "The pages of 'The Citizen' are a free and open forum in which the people of Indiana may present, examine and discuss those questions that are vital to their political and social wellbeing. Each of its several departments is in editorial charge of one chosen for special and expert fitness for that work. The editors will marshal the facts that shall bare political conditions in Indiana and present the reasons that, in the interest of civic, moral and material progress, demand a change in the organic laws that govern the Commonwealth and its political units. "To all citizens of Indiana, irrespective of their political attachments, 'The Citizen' appeals for co-operation in the great work now afoot. The most immediate and essential aid can be given by becoming a regular subscriber to this magazine. "The Citizen" is not a pamphlet ; it is periodical. It will be worth much more than the small subscription price asked for it."
OFFERS SUGAR FOR COPPER TO SWISS DEALERS
VIENNA, July 13. No people has I remained more strictly neutral during the war than the Swiss and this fact Is admitted by French and Italians as well as by Germans and Austrians, who all owe a debt of gratitude to the Swiss nation, which forms an indispensable link of communication between belligerents in all cases which concern prisoners of war of all na- . tionalities. Austria-Hungary in ordinary circumstances is one of the greatest sugar producing countries in Europe and Switzerland depends on her for her supply of sugar. Now Swiss sugar importers are loudly complaining that although, during the last three months they have sent many millions of francs in gold into Austria when placing orders for sugar, they have received practically no sugar in return. The Austrian government demands "compensations," that is to say, it is willing to export ten carloads of sugar to Switzerland if that country will permit the export of one carload of copper. The latter is contraband of war, and when this had been pointed out several times through Swiss consular and diplomatic officials, tho Austrian government ignored all further communications. One version has it that a Hungarian colonel when ordered to lead a sortie from Przemysl carried only his cane as a protest against the folly and inevitable losses of tha attempt. He was badly wounded, but will recover.
Traveling Man's Experience. "In the summer of 1888 I had a very severe attack of cholera morbus. Two physicians worked over me from four a. m. to 6 p. m. without giving me any relief and then told me they did not expect me to live; that I had best telegraph for my family. Instead of doing so, I gave the hotel porter fifty cents and told him to buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's Chollc, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and take no substitute. I took a double dose according to the directions and went to sleep after the second dose. At five o'clock the next morning I was called by my order and took a train for my next stopping point, a well man but feeling rather shaky from the severity of the attack," writes H. W. Ireland, Louisville. Ky. Obtainable everywhere. Adv.
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "About two years ago I had a severe attack of diarrhoea which lasted for over a week." writes W. C. Jones. Buford. X. D. "I became so weak that 1 could not stand upright. A druggist recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved me and within two days I was as well as ever." Obtainable everywhere. Adv.
Benefited by Chamberlain's Liniment. "Last winter I used Chamberlain's Liniment for rheumatic pains, stiffness and soreness of the knees, and can conscientiously say that I never used anything that did me so much good." Edward Craft, Elba. N. Y. Obtainable everywhere. Adv. Beauty More Than Skin Deep. A beautiful woman always has good digestion. If ycur dtsestiou is faulty, Chamberlain's Tablets will do you food.

What Shall We Do About It?
BY DR. D. W. DENNIS. Science can study the life history of living forms that cause disease; it can then attack it at its most vulnerable point; for instance the yellow fever germ is carried by the mosquito; the mosquito is most easily destroyed while it is a wiggletail; wlggletails can be killed by putting oil on the water in which they live or by draining pools, or by filling them up or by putting minnows into them. The tubercle bacillus can be killed by exposure to sunlight; air hurts its; various disinfectants will kill it. Probably to carry out these things requires some expert knowledge. Now what shall we do? If we had unlimited money, a sanitarium should be built and equipped, large enough to accommodate all the patients of the city and county. Can we do anything without money or with only a little money? Yes we could build a little sanitarium and show beyond a doubt its usefulness. Or we could set apart a small group of houses already built and establish a hospital for consumptives. , Or we could employ a trained nurse or nurses to wait upon every home where a victim of consumption resides and train them in all matters pertaining to right living to help this disease and especially in the use of disinfectants and disposition of sputum. If the right person could be employ
ed, many thousand dollers could he saved to the city and its citizens every year for each nurse employed. If silch a system could be inaugurated, It could not be discontinued so great would its value be. ' In the brief articles published in The Palladium, enough has been said to lower the death rate from this cause by half. But it is not enough to know what things ought to be done and then neglect to do them. In the Spanish-American war we knew what ought to be done and did not do it, and Shatter's army 75 per cent of it was brought home on stretchers the banner percentage of sickness in any army. In our medical schools and universities we taught the Japanese how to keep their army well; the Japs did what we taught them and the result was the least percentage of sickness on record for any army. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." Many of our people do not know what to do. Send them an expert nurse. Send them right to the houses which the survey shows needs them most. A soldier in ihe army of the Potomac wrote to his father, "the army of the Potomac is the best army on the planet." His father replied, "Before Richmond is taken we will have to have an army on the 'do it' not on the plan-it.' "
STODDARD DESCRIBES SENTIMENT OF AUSTRIA
This is the concluding article in John L. Stoddard's series: I write these words on a lovely Spring morning in the fruitful valley of Andreas Hofer. Before me for a score of miles is a vast, undulating sea of scented bloom. If your desires are fulfilled, this may become a hell of devastated fields, burned houses, and earth-strewn corpses. My garden may be one of those devastated, my villa one of the dwellings burned, my body one of the corpses. Of course you do not wish that such a fate should befall me personally, but in so far as you are eager for the realization of the above mentioned plan, you stand among the foes who would destroy U3. We still think tenderly of our old friendship. We wave our hands to you across the death-filled trenches in token of that old aliection. But so long as you regard as "Barbarians" these noble nations struggling against a dastradly conspiracy; so long as you calumniate one of the finest, noblest-hearted men the world contains today- the Emperor William II; and so long as you desire a result which means for us and for the world a great calamity, how can you think that. we can be the old-time friends? One Word More. There will inevitably come a time when you will have a rude awakening. Do not deceive yourselves. Germany never will be conquered. Never! Moreover, the wonderful victories of Kindenburg and Maokensen (just announced May 5th), prove that ijiere is now no possibility that AustriaHungary will be subdued by her colossal foe. The braggart prophe
cies about the Indians camping in Berlin and Cossacks in Vienna will find no fulfilment. No armed Englishman or Frenchman, or any of their particolored savages, will ever cross the Rhine or see the Spree. Whatever else may come, not that! But England, your beloved master, has already lost much very much that she will nevermore regain. Nor is the story of her losses ended. The principal object for which England has intrigued and fought many generations has been to keep Constantinople and the Bosphorus from Russian hands. Now she has been compelled not only to concede them to her formerly hated rival, but even to fight to bring them into his possession! Through her mad jealousy of Germany, England has also turned the whole East topsy-turvy, sacrificed her own prestige, and made Japan the lord of the Pacific. India and Egypt are no longer hers securely, and the final Nemesis is at her threshold. You will perhaps one day perceive how foolish you have been not to have given from the first your sympathies to the Teutons in their efforts to beat back the Slavs and to obtain for all the freedom of the seas. These two things they will do, but alas, not with your goodwill and moral aid. To you will fall the baneful influence of England's policy in the Far East, and you wiil live to see the arrogant, though decadent, Briton put into the place he would long since have been compelled to occupy, but for the mass of gold which he had ravished from a subject world.

"How to Keep Well
In Summer Months l Cold Plunges or Showers All Right for Young and Vigorous Purposes, but as Cleansing Process Hardly Enough To Keep the Skin Healthy.
Do You Know Who Did This?
She was sprinkling the front lawn out in the suburbau Section, where is her home.. It cannot be said that she looked prepossessing. She wore what women call a wrapper. Her hair show ed lack of acquaintanceship with brush
and comb. One never would have recognized in her the chic damsel, who the evening before had greeted the
young man at the front door. It was because she had greeted the young .man "the" young man the
evening before that she looked as she
did now. . She . had . no reason to expect to see the. young man now. So she didn't care particularly how she did look, seeing that he wasnt around. But this time, she was. mistaken tn her calculations. She was going to see the young man sooner than she expected. In fact. Just as she got the sprinkling well under way, she looked up and espied the young man approaching down the sidewalk. Had she been standing in the path of an oncoming cyclone, the look of horror and impending disaster on her face could not have been more marked. She turned and fled precipitately into the house. But one or two things she forgot. She forgot to turn off the water and to make matters worse, she forgot to drop the hose. She simply carried the hose right into the house with her, right into the room, where papa and mama and brother and the baby were. What papa and brother said and
what mamma thought do not come in the category of polite readings and cannot be repeated here.
"There are a lot of people who pride themselves on being well bathed because they jump into a tub of cold water every morning. As a matter of fact, it is quite possible to take a cold bath 365 days in the year and yet miss entirely, the real purpose of the daily bath." This was the statement of a physician today when asked to give some hints on how to keep well in summer. "The cold plunge or shower is alright in its way for those to whom it is suited, that is, the young and the vigorous, who react perfectly. For these it is invigorating and stimulating. As a cleansing process it is hardly enough, because getting clean does not merely mean letting water pass over the body or into the body. Bathing both externally and internally is rrecessary and mifst be performed rightly to be of benefit. "To be really clean one must make sure that the million of tiny pores, by means of which the skin does its work for the physical economy and renders elimination perfect, are kept cleared of waste products and in good working condition. The skin is one of the most important of the scavengers of the system, but one cannot expect it to perform its work properly if its myriads of tiny holes through which it gives off waste matter are blocked. "This waste matter is largely given
off in the perspiration, which is coming through it all the time, whether you are aware of it or not. If this perspiration is checked the waste products are driven back into the system and reabsorbed with the result that the other organs of elimination are asked to do double duty; and double duty cannot be demanded of any organ without a heavy bill having to be paid" sometime. "To keep the skin in perfect working condition an occasional bath that really washes is called for. This bath should take the form of plenty of good warm water, some good mild soap, a small brush, and above all a good rough towel for the final rub is more important than the soap and water wash. The skin is renewing itself all the time, with the result that it is always giving off minute scales. It is these that block the pores. "You can stand in a good light and use a clean dry flesh brush and prove this. Use the brush vigorously on the skin for a few moments and watch the dry particles of dead skin fly off. A swift plunge into cold water and a rub with a soft towel will not reomve these scales. If one were so placed that it was impossible to obtain a bath it would be possible to keep the skin for some time in a healthy condition by vigorous rubbing, so far as all the purposes of health demanded."

YOU CAN EXPLAIN YOUR ILL FORTUNE BY KEEPING THESE SAYINGS IN MIND
Did you think that shiver last night was caused from a draught of cool air which struck you? Well, you were mistaken. Did you think that it was because some friend had just narrated a hair-raising adventure? Again you were mistaken. You shivered because at that precise moment some one was walking over your future grave. Did you ever notice that when you are wearing that pair of tan shoes things always go wrong? They seem to lead you into paths of trouble. Do you know why? Think carefully and you will remember that you placed them on the table for inspection when you had them out on trial. By that very act you decreed that they should ever lead you into unlucky paths. . Remember the other day when you had those two blowouts in less than a square when you ran out of gasoline and had to get the traffic cop to push your helpless boat off the street car lines? Don't you also remember that not less than an hour before a black cat scampered across the street in front of you, that meant bad luck. If you are superstitious you can al
ways explain your good or ill luck by some of the scores of superstitions. Did you know that: When your nose itches something will soon happen to vex you? When your right eye itches it is a sign of good luck; when your left eye, of bad luck. When a spider descends on you from the roof that you will soon receive a legacy from a friend.
