ECZEMA IS NOW CURABLE. A St. Louis chemist, after many years of careful experimenting and investigation, has discovered a simpie remedy that has cured hundreds of cases of eczema that had been pronounced Incurable. The chemist believed that eczema and all itchingskin diseases wei*e of local origen : and were caused by germs which attacked and fed on the skin. He began to search for a remedy that would [ destroy these germs, and found that Iby combining the active principles [of certain well known vegetable drugs and applying them locally, the first application stopped the itching and burning, and If used persistently would drive all germs and their poisons to the surface of the skin and destroy | them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy skin. He gave this remarkable remedy the suggestive name of Zemo, ' and since its introduction to the pub- ! lie Zemo has proved a very popular I remedy and is today recognized the most successful and meritorious remedy ever produced for the relief and cure of eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp. j Mr. B. F. Fendig, the druggist, en- : dorses and recommends ZEMO and [ says that he believes ZEMO to be an honest medicine and will do all that is claimed for It. s I notice with approval that certain towns are observing the mandate of annual clean-up day. Now if the editors could get the.same principles applied to some of the citizens who took a bath in 1872, the health and longevity of the community would be martially improved.

SECRETARY OF STATE.

For Thlt Place Fred Sims Has Shown His Eminent Fitness. SECRETARY OF STATE FRED A. SIMS, nominee for re-election, whose home is at Frankfort, is of that splendidv f ype of energetic r-d progressive” Indiana business man in nolitics. who takes his business uri»tiples into public life. Mr. Sims was first appointed Secretary of State by Governor Hanly, April 1, 1906, and has since filled that important office with such credit as to have materially strengthened the Republican £tate administration. He was elected to his first elective term in November, 1906, and at the recent Republican State Convention was re-hominated without opposition for the second term. ‘ Mr. Sims was secretary of the Republican State Committee during the last national campaign and made a wide acquaintance during that time of friends, who at every opportunity speak highly of his ability and high character, his close attention to his duties, and to his generous and affable and obliging disposition. Fred A. Sims was born in Frankfort, October 8, 1867, and most of his life has been spent in Clinton county. He attended the schools of Frankfort, and then went into the law office of his father, who was a well known member of the Clinton county bar. He was admitted to the bar in 1889. Two years later he took a place in the First National Bank of Frankfort as bookkeeper, and later became assistant cashier. Mr. Sims is a self-made young man, and has won his ijigh standing among-the people of his State by sheer merit. His ideals are high. In solving the large problems that come to him in the performance of the duties of his office and incidentally as chairman of the State Tax Board, his decisions are made with promptness and firmness, and are marked by conservatism and justice.

FRED A. SIMS.

When the time came for him to make his regular settlement with the State Treasurer, after he had been In the Secretary of State's office but a short time, he promptly and without question turned over with the State money on hand all the accumulated Interest —a plan which was later Indorsed by the State platform, and still later enacted into a law. When a newspaper man expressed surprise at this innovation. In his matter-of-fact, frank, bUßlneas-llke way, Mr. Sims Bald: “I cannot see why It la not right. A public office is Just like a receivership or a trust Any receiver or trustee who would handle large sums of private money would surely be expected to account Tor any Interest that he might receive on such funds. I think the same rule should apply to a State officer.” Mr. Sims has been a member of the State Republican committee for twelve years, having been first elected as chairman of the Ninth Congressional District Republican organisation In 1896. During different campaigns he was the youngest member on the committee, but his Judgment has always been eagerly sought in the party counsels At a recent meeting of the Republican State Committee, when Chairman

John E. Westfall, of Whiting, attended the funeral of his brother-in-law, J. F. Ellis, here Monday. Mrs. B. F. Spencer and daughter Dorothy visited Mr. and Mrs. Hal Sheetz, at Indianapolis, last week. Miss Grace Wanrock, who is in school at Marion, visited her mother and sisters from Friday until Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Esau Hart went to Oxford Saturday for a few days’ visit with their daughter,. Mrs. E. T. Bond and family. Mrs. I. N, Leasure and daughter Mable, of Chicago, have be n visiting ,Mr. and Mrs. John Howell the past two weeks. Mrs. Simeon Tyler and baby anc brother Chas. Fell, returned home last week from a three weeks’ visit with relatives at Pierpoint, South Dakota. Frank Ellis, of Stone Bluff, died at his home July 3d, of heart failure. Funeral services were held here at the Christian church. Rev. Rodman, of Fowler, preached the sermon. Interment in Remington cemetery.

James P. Goodrich announced that his business duties would make it impossible for him to spend much time during 'the coming campaign at the State Committee headquarters, by unanmious action Mr. Sims was made acting State Chairman, and he will have a large part in the conduct of the State and national campaign in Indiana this year.

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

James Bingham's Distinguished Services Demand Further Recogni—iv*—— —tion. JAMES BINGHAM, of Muncie. the Republican nominee for his second, term as Attorney-General, is recognized as one of the energetic, hardworking, capable and successful lawyers of Indiana. He was born in Fountain county, March 16, 1861, and . spent the first fifteen years of his i life on the farm, in the sawmill and at work upon the railroad, toiling to secure the means to educate himself. Later he taught in the district schools, ■ and at the early age of twenty-two, had qualified himself for the position and was elected county superintendent of his native county for two successive terms. His work at that day was marked by the same energy and faithfulness which characterize his efforts at this time. He receives much lasting praise that in his county, as in other counties over the State, thousands of dollars were saved the

JAMES BINGHAM.

taxpayers by his unearthing of the notorious Pollard school furniture swindles. These he followed up with vigorous prosecutions, which gave him a reputation, that has ever stayed with him, of cool-headed and conservative aggressiveness. From exposure and close application to his books, he became seriously and dangerously afflicted, and for two years his friends believed that he was doomed to become totally blind. It was under these trying circumstances that he was admitted to the Fountain county bar, and began the practice of law In 1887. He was dnable to read a word, and it waa here his good wife came to his rescue, reading; to him all the law he got, In court and out. It was this determined effort, along with a cheerful disposition and personal magnetism, that brought him a practice. which baa ever since continued to grow, until be is now one of the most successful practitioners of the State, with the same good, faithful wife a close student at his side. In 1890 he waa elected Prosecuting Attorney for the Twenty-first Judicial Circuit, and made one of the beat prosecutors that district ever had. He moved to Muncle fourteen years ago and has been highly successful In his legal practice there. He Is a clear thinker and a pleasing and convincing speaker. Aa Attorney-General, he has been prompt, courteous and fearless In performing the responsible duties of bis offloe. For that reason he baa made a popular public official, and has done his full share toward making the present State administration one that the people may endorse. *

BLOCKADED EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN RENSSELAER SHOULD KNOW HOW TO RESIST IT The back aches because the kidneys are blockaded. Help the kidneys with their work. The back will ache no more. Lots of proof that Doan’s Kidney Pills do this. Earnest Norton, living in the southern part of Goodland, Ind., says: “I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they proved of great benefit to me, I suffered backache and severe pains across my loins, was unable to rest at night and felt tired and worn out during the day. My kidneys were disordered and at times the passage of the secretions were frequent. After using Doan’s Kidney Pills I was relieved of my backache and pains, the kidney secretions were regulated and I received new strength and ambition. Doan’s Kidney Pills did me a great deal of good and I have not had any kidney trouble since using them.” Plenty more proof like this from Rqpsselaer people. Call at B. F.
