County Correspondence

* - McCOYSBURG. Mr. Arnott met with an accident last Monday. He was helping unload ties and let one fall on his foot, bruising it badlyMr. Richcreek’s gave a party last Friday night. A very pleasant time was had. They are moving on a large farm near Goodland. The neighborhood here feels a loss in that they are moving awayMr. Maxwell had a bad runaway last Monday morning, but escape injury. However, the wagon was badly used up. Charles Armstrong received word that his mother, who lives at Michigan City, was very sick. He left for there last Thursday, Jan. 27. Mr. Jliff caught 3 live monkeys on Hickory Island, So. America in a trap one day last week. They were of unusal seize and promised a good light. He brought them to the store and the Post Master gave him good money for them and this is no lie neither. If you doubt it just ask Mr. Gwin of this city or Bennie Fendig of Rensselaer, who came out on Sunday and took them home with him. Of course, he did not pay for them until Monday. An opposum is now on exhibition at the store on Front Street. McCoy and McDonald shipped 3 car load's of fat cattle to Chicago Wednesday night. Charles McDonald, who lives about four miles south of here is dangerously sick. I)r. Clayton thinks it is brain fever.

Good Roads And Convicts.

W. S. Blntchley Thinks Prison Labor Might be Utilized by the State. W. S. Blatchley, State Geologist, believes the idle convicts in the State prison might' be employed in building good roads. In the penitentiary at Michigan City there are today almost a thousand able-bodied men who are being marched about to furnish them exercise, because the labor, organizations of the state are opposed to their competition- The industry of the honest citizens of the state pays for maintaining these criminals in idleness. Let the General Assembly authorize the purchase of an extensive bed of shale in western Indiana, and the erection thereon of a modern paving-brick factory. Equip this factory with convict labor, and put several hundred additional convicts to breaking stone for foundation, and cutting it for curbing. * “In this manner the material for many hundred miles of country roads could soon bo prepared, and furnished at n reasonable cost to counties devoid of gravel and other road material. Roads could thus be constructed of vitrified brick at a low price, which would last a quarter of a century or longer, with littleexpenseformaiiitenance. "California, for a number of years, has utilized her convicts in the preparation of road material, and has found the plan efficient and in every way foasible. Let Indiana do likewise, and she will settle, once for all. the two vexed questions of good roads and the utilization of convict labor.”

Point for School Consolidation.

By n dooision of the supremo court Thursday in a case coining from Cass county, that tribunal has opened the way for carrying into effect the abandonment of school house and the gathering of all the pupils into one township school. Action was brought to compel a township trustee to employ a teacher for n"certain school which the trustee had abandoned. The court holds that while the law does not permit a trustee to change the site of a school. house, it does not forbid him to cease holding school in one if hd’ acts in good faith and for sufficient reasons.

The Meal-time Drink.

A Very Important Factor In the Produciluu of wleeaee. Little do tfce tkousSnds of American people of today, who are addicted to Ale insidious habit-ot coffee and tdtt drinking, realize now seriously they are undermining the human structure and paying the way tor future development of disease, and all through the force of habit. It is a habit, just as much so as that of alcoholic stimulants. In fact, the same poisonous alkaloids abide in coffee and tda«S in whisky, alcohol, tobacco, morphine, etc., though not so deadly in character, perhaps, but sufficiently harmful to produce numerous diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, palpitation of the neart, nervousness, etc. It is fast becoming a habit second only to that of alcoholism. Doubtless, there are those who are loath to. believe that the use of these beverages has ever affected their health in any way, though they often complain from the very same disorders of which coffee and tea drinking are the direct cause. They attribute their ailments of the stomach, liver, nerves, etc., to the organs themselves, but never dream or the cause of such Organic derangement. Each concoction of poison administered to the nervous system by the use of coffee or tea, is like adding fuel to the flame, and hence the functional disturbances and finally organic disease. They are the real cause of more sickness than is generally supposed. The fact that Dr. Martin, being a physician, and fully aware of the harmful effects of coffee and tea, led him to experimenting and he finally produced the first cereal coffee ever discovered, the now famous Dr. Martin’s, Nervine Coffee, the new food substitute for coffee, absolutely pure, unadulterated preparation of the choicest grains, gluten and rich cereals, nature’s own products. These he has so Harmoniously compounded as, to produce a delightful, healthrul and deli-'* , cious coffee-like beverage, which does not contain a particle of ordinary coffee nor dangerous drags, like many cheap, so-called substitutes. in order to give them a coffee flavor. It is the original substitute, all others are imitations. Perfectly harmless and can befreely given to children or invalids. It makes the nerves strong and the health rug- 1 ged. One pound goes further than tWo of ordinary coffee or other substitutes, making it an economical as well as a healthrul drink. Sold by all grocers, i lb. 20c, 2 lbs. 35c. Prepared by Nervine Coffee Co., Elkhart, Ind.
