FOUR-FIFTHS OF FRUIT CROP IS RUINED, REPORT No Region Spared, Says Purdue Expert Financial Loss to be Heavy. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. April 29. Fourfifths of Indiana'a expected trait crop of 1919 hai been destroyed by frost

and cold weather, It was announced here at Purdue university. Not In years has there been such a great disaster to cherries, apples, peaches, pears and plums. The inanclal loss has not yet been accurately estimated, but It will run Into large figures. Reports on the situation have been received In all parts of the state by the farm experts of the institution. Damage, it appears, was done In some places Friday night that had escaped or been visited very lightly Thursday night. As a rule, however, temperatures were not as low on the second evening. Possibly Pocket District. Professor Laurenz Greene, chief horticulturist at Purdue, said that no region seemed to have been spared, except possibly the pocket district in the region of Evansville, where some of the fruit was saved. Tippecanoe county and surrounding counties fared as badly as any district in the state. Here the loss Is almost complete. In addition to apples, pears and plums, peaches and cherries having been ruined, strawberries plants, which were In bloom, were also destrowed. The only fruit trees that escaped the deadly blight were those In sheltered places, such as private yards with houses close by, and even these are very few in number. The fruit outlook In Indiana, according to Professor Greene, is the poorest It has been In many years. There is every reason to believe that Hoosiers will pay more for tree and garden fruit this coming season than they have in twenty years. Professor Green said that until Thursday night, Indiana had prospects of a bumper apple crop. There were also excellent prospects of an unusually large peach crop, most of the peach trees having survived the winter, where as in recent years they failed to do so.

Bread Output Cut Down By Strike of Bakers CHICAGO. April 29. Bakeries here today were turning out less than half of the dally 4.000,000 loaves of bread, due to the strike of union bakers. Of the 1,000 or more baking plants, about 350 were running to full capacity, having agreed to the terms of the union. Lack of workmen in the remainder of

the plants held production to less than Al .

u per lein. . Strikers assert they will remain out until a $2 weekly raise Is granted them and night work between 11 p. m. and 5 a. m. is abolished.

For Constipation! Physic Purge or Laxative?

Everyone now and then becomes constipated, and mil lion are chronically in that condition. The perplexing question arises what to use. Purgatives and cathartics are drastic and usually cause a reaction. Saline waters are rapid in action but do no more than empty the bowels. Just aa certain an effect, and certainly a much more pleasant one, can be obtained by the use of a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It acts gently, without griping. It is an especially ideal medicine for children, women, old people and others who find purges too powerful. Only a teaapoonful is required, and by morning the movement is free and complete. A bottle in the house is insurance for the whole family against constipation, indigestion, head' aches, flatulency and other digestive ills. The druggist will refund your money if it fails to do as promised. f Dr. Caldwell's

A Message for Homme Loveirs

"The men who make good furniture, the men who sell it and the men and women who buy it- all are public benefactors. And there are a lot of them. Business profit, fortunately, is not all reckoned in dollars and cents. There are manufacturers who will not make unworthy furniture, and merchants who will not sell it, "as well as people who will not buy it. Fortunately, also beauty and good taste are not measured in money. The simple, inexpensive home may be as beautiful, as inspiring, as restful and regenerating as the elaborate one oftentimes more so.

We take it for granted that you are a man or woman who enjoys the home, and who is always eager to have that home comfortable to himself and agreeable to his visitors. After a hard day's work you love to come back to your four walls and luxuriate upon an easy chair or a comfortable lounge, and say to yourself: "I'm monarch of all I survey." There is nothing adds so much to the livableness of a home than good furniture. It must not only be good as to style and shape, but its quality must be good, too, so that it will add durability to comfort.
