SIGHT OF HIS FAVORITE HORSE CHEERS CAPTAIN
Old W Pokes Nose into Window Where His Master Lies.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN PRANCE. April 6 Correspondence of the Associated Press. An American captain of artillery, lying wounded in an American hospital at the rear of our sector, northwest of Toul, 'called his nurse to his bedside the other day and said: "I'm feeling pretty good now, but I'd feel a whole lot better if only I could see old Bill, my horse." The orderly spoke to the ward
physician, the surgeon in charge of1 the hospital telephoned to artillery! headquarters and soon afterward an orderly came galloping up the road to the hospital and dismounted. Here's Captain von Blank's horse," he said. "The captain wants to see him." So orderly and horse were led Around to a window In a long, low building. Three windows down they stopped. The orderly looked in and saw his captain lying on a cot just inside. "Good-morning, Captain," he said, "I have brought Bill around." The wounded captain's face broke Into a smile. "Have him stick his head in," he orSered. But the horse had beard a voice he knew and he put his bead inside the ward window without any urging. There was bis master lying fiat on his back, a small bandage around his head where Just a little piece of rock hit. And pinned to the pillow of his cot was a little bronze cross suspended from a green and red ribbon the Croix de Guerre. For half an hour the wounded Captain talked to the horse, calling him "Old Boy" and "Old Man" and feebly stroking the animal's soft nose. The horse apparently understood, for he kept his nose as close as possible and stood perfectly still. He only moved his head once or twice and then it was to rub his nose against his master's palm. The Burgeon standing near by motioned to the orderly after a while and the horse's head was withdrawn from the window. The orderly rode him away back toward the batteries. The Captain watched the window for a minute or two and then said to the surgeon: Well, I feel better. If Bill can come 'round every day I ought to be moving about in a week or so." So Bill he Isn't one of the kind of horses that the army calls an "artillery plug," he's a real American horse, and looks it probably will be a regular hospital visitors for some days to come. ".' For some months the Captain affec- - tionately bad cared for his mount. Before the artillery unit to which the officer belongs moved up to the line he and the horse were together every day and sometimes all night. They understood each other perfectly. Then came the move to the front, and for several weeks the officer did
not get many chances to ride, there being work to do with batteries trained on the Germans. Then there was an American raid on the enemy Jines, with Its barrage and enemy counterthick of it, and during the time when thick o fit, and during the time when German shells were falling heaviest
arouna our guns ae was ODiigea to go out into the open to give orders to some of his men.
A shell dropped near and exploded and a splinter tore into the captain's chest. Three days later he was in an evacuation hospital within sound of bis own guns and declared to be in a dangerous condition. It was feared by his friends that he would die. However, his strength and excellent medical attention have pulled him through until to-day, when, according to the surgeons, he is on the road to recovery.
The majority of the men who got work through the state agency were unskilled laborers, ,463 of those placed being of that class. Shipbuilders came next, numbering 1,585, or all that applied. Farm labor applications number 440, and men placed 267. The number of farmers asking help was
291. Of the 364 masons who asfcea for help to get work. Jobs were found
for 337. Seventy-seven boys got work through the state, out of. 174 asking
Jobs. ' .
While the number of men asking work exceeded the demand, the re
verse was true in the case of women.
ADDlications for women numbered
516. while only 401 women asked for
work. The chief demand for women was for day work and general house
work.
The five state agency offices are at
Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute and South Bend. Henry
A. Roberts, former state statistician is the supervisor of the employment bureau.

Extend the Time tojtoy 10th Hundreds of Patients Have Called at Institute to Be Examined. DOCTORS TOO BUSY To See All So Extend Time for Free Treatment.
On account of the unprecedented number of sick people who have
called at the Inter-State Doctors new Richmond Institute on the second floor of the Starr block, corner of Main and Tenth streets, to take advantage of the free treatment offer, the offices have been crowded to such
a degree that the specialist in charge of this institute was unable to treat! all the patients who called even though he worked long after the regular hours. As a consequence of this enormous rush of patients to consult these world famous specialists, many who called to take advantage of the free offer were turned away disappointed at not being able to be examined by this busy man, or even speak to him. Yes.terday the directors decided that in order to treat all alike and give every sick person a chance to be cured, the offer of free examination and consultation to all, and free treatment, except the cost of medicines, would be extended to May 10th. This will positively be the last and only extension of this grand free offer. After May 10th. full, regular fees will be charged in each new case, but all those accepted under this free offer will be treated free until cured, no difference how long it takes. A few have misunderstood this free offer and expected to be given medicines free also, and to correct this impression we will - state that all patients must pay for their own medicines unless they are worthy of charity. The doctors' services are free, but patients should bring cash to pay for their medicines. Mrs. S. J. Overcash, who was treated at their Newcastle Institute, writes as follows: May 18, 1916. To the Inter-State Doctors: I want to, in this way, express my gratitude to you for the wonderful cure you made in my case. I bad been a constant sufferer for several years with female trouble, could hardly drag around most of the time. I doctored and doctored and got no relief. In fact, the doctors didn't seem to know what was the matter with me. And talked nothing but operations. I had about abandoned all hope of being any better until I went to your office in November, 1915. Your Doctor Culver gave me the most careful and painstaking examination I ever had by anyone. He showed by his examination and after treatment that he was personally interested In
the outcome of my case. He told me I had a prolapsed or fallen right overy
and intestinal Indigestion. He inspired me and my husband with con
fidence at once. So I placed myself
under his care. And I rejoice in the
day that I did. For it iras the tost
money we ever spent. My health has been perfectly restored. I never have an ache or a pain any more. And It has now been four months since he
dismissed me and I have remained to sound as an American dollar and can work as hard as any woma. without fatigue. What I like about you Is that you are square and honest with your patients and when they are well you dismiss them. You don't hold on to them Just to get the money. You only had my case about three months, restored my health to perfection, and
iaved toe from the surgGons knife.
And my only object in writing this letter is In the hope that it may lead some suffering woman to your office, who probably has been told as I was
that the knife is her only salvation.
There is too much useless cutting and I am glad such able physicians as you have located In this community. We are permanent residents here, and my
husband and I bota think your complete cure of me, the shape I had been in, is nothing short of marvelous. MRS. T. J. OVERCASH. Oakland, Addition, Newcastle, Ind. (Advertisement)

Any maker may claim for his product all the qualities there are. That is his privilege. He may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, i tzs sot over modest in that regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, that theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. . We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Max-;ell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense tbsiy are statements of fact proven facts. They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under earth.' For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was msie -with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desist of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record. Just consider 44 days and nights without a stop, at an averages speed of 25 miles per hour! . And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell list: rag at $825. You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a transcontinental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five daj-3. and eleven hours. ' Now compare those two feats one of less than six days, the ottug: of 44 days.1 You know automobiles which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed'or endurance? Proves you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track buf: over rough country roads and through jatyjtraffic-average of all kinds of going. And listen to this. So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain maraing, the car would stop in front Of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the seal. Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing? this Maxw.ll holds practically every record worth mentioningespecially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation! was taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12 -cylinder car beat that record by two minutest Thenthree days later a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12 cylinder record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb wasn't it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors.' Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy also a matter of official record. Others may claim Maxwell proves. . ' . Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. ' Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners thousands of them, driving their own Maxwells. Nor were they new Maxwells the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models;1 many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service three years' use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions all kinds were encountered in the various sections of the country. Good roads and bad level country and mountainous jrcgions beat and cold 3 sunshine and rain asphalt and mud. And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! There's economy for you. And under actuallaverage driving conditions not laboratory test. v But that isn't all. . ' The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was'in its showing of speed and reliability and economy all in the same run. ". In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed. ' Any engineer can do that. But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run that car must be a Maxwell.
