; Presentation of the comedy playlet entitled.. "When . the Lane Turned.'? was 'successfully given last night at the-; Eastern ' Hospital 'for the ' Insane under (he direction of Dr. 8.. E. Smith. Attaches cf the hospital assumed the roles in the comedy which proved entertaining and interesting to-about, 200 persons who- witnessed it.: The playlet was presented in connection with the holiday entertainments for the Inmates-of the Institution. -' - , PLAN MOVEMENT X

Continued From .Pag One. "' based ', on .the . mileage of - improved county turnpikes. ; "Several' counties In the state have taken .this means of taking over all the roads In the county." said Road Superintendent- Jones.' "In Tipton county all the roads are now owned by the county, which is able to maintain them the way they . ought to, be maintained. I believe that a plan to circulate a petition for. all the roads is a good one." Should all the roads in the county be taken over by the county commissioners.-the burden of taxation would be shifted from the township to the city. All of the up-keep of the township roads now falls upon the taxpayers of the township alone and statistics compiled by County Auditor Bow-

man show that the. townships road repair work. Is costing as much as the county repair - work' although the county, roads., have - a . road -..superintendent engineering the. work. - , ' The eity- of " Richmond '. pays fourfifth of the costs of the .county roads: the incorporated towns pay one-ninth and the farmers pay. the other four ninths:. -This' would be the-apportionment ' of the cost of' all ' the 'roads should they be turned over vto k the county. Only -three taxpayers In a road district is necessary -to-petition the ' commissioners to take ever a township road.. If the plan, to take over all the roads meets favor. In all parts of the county, a petition, will be circulated ' to be signed by -at least three taxpayers In -each road district. Including all . the' township roada , in that district. - The commissioners would then be .empowered to act in appointing viewers and taking over the raods that came up to ,th standard, according to law. j r "' -

CATARRH LEADS TO CONSUMPTION Catarrh is as much a blood disease as scrofula or rheumatism, it, may be relieved, but it cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It breaks down the general health, weakens the lung . tissues, and . leads to consumption. , - Hood's Sarsaparilla Is' so successful in the reat inept of catarrh.that.lt. la known as the best, remedy for this disease. It purifies the blood. Ask your druggist-for it. Adv. .

To be guardian over thousands of dollars worth of tools, mechanism and tons of material throughout the dark hours 1b no child's play, aa M. A. Nicely of 414 Burns avenue, Dayton, who is night watchman at the immense Delco plant, will tell. From shortly after dusk to just before dawn it is the duty of Mr. Nicely to visit every foot of space in the mammoth building now nearing completion. Some months ago, Mr. NJcely was attacked by stomach trouble of a severe nature. As his strength and atnbition began to leave him new ailments presented themselves. After hours of unbroken rest Mr. Nicely would arise absolutely unrefreshed. He grew so that he dared not taste foods that he liked well. ' While a physician was able to diagnose the condition of Mr. Nieely lhe( doctor was unable to bring relief. A raj of hope came to Mr. Nicely, however, when .he learned of. Tanlac. Mr. Nicely saw and met Tanlac and conquered his sufferings. "It's hardly necessary for me to ?i into detail," he said yesterday, "but"a single bottle of Tanlac put me 'right.' I kept on taking Tanlac though, for I've heard where sufferings came back to people who stopped the Tanlac treatment after being afforded relief." In commenting on the story - llr. Nicely, the Tanlac Man. who daily is explaining the merits of this wonderful reconstructive medicine at the four Thistlethwaite drug stores. Richmond, Ind.. said.. "Mr. Nicely's indorsement of Tanlac is but one of many I have heard. "Tanlac is especially designed to combat affections of the liver and kidneys and catarrhal affections of the mucous membranes, the maladies from which the greater percent of American people are suffering today."
