The Enjoyment of a Prosperous New Year will depend upon the circumstances that you, can control. One of these is your standard of health. Your health can’t be the best, if the teeth are not doing effective, thorough work. The quick changes that teeth, good or bad, often make is really surprising. Little decays grow larger into the larger kind, and increase the risk of total loss. ’ One evidence of satisfaction that my patrons enjoy—they have a greater interest in their teeth that have been restored than the fee it has taken to make them so. Let us have a pleasant chat about your teeth. OR. HORTON OPP COURTHOUSE '

A unique method of trapping a corn thief came to light in a Haz’eton justice’s court recently when Frank JSpeights, accused of stealing corn .from Frank Cassidy’s crib, was fined rafter admitting his guilt. Farmer «Cassidy believed his corn was going -toward fattening Speight’s hogs. To .confirm his suspicions he drove nails in several ears of his corn. Saturday morning, after noticing that his .corncrib had again been visited. Cassidy went to Speight’s hog pen and ■there found an armful of cobs with .nails driven in the pith of the cpb. 'With the cobs as evidence Cassidy secured Speight’s arrest and conviction.

The county council of Whit ey county refused to make an appropriation for a wet and dry election, until after an election was ordered by the commissioners. They expressed a willingness, however, to call an extra session to make an approp lation, if an election was ordered. 'Whitley county, the home of Gover-nor-elect Marshall, is not united on this question and it is predicted the .county will vote wet.

A Little Corset Chat.

A ready made cprset, like ready made clothing, may appear to be satisfactory when first put on, but wear soon developes the fact that it does not fiold its shape and is not adapted to the figure. Boned with stiff unyielding steels, or inferior unsanitary bones, splintering and puncturing the cloth, often lacerating the weareY, the average corset is an unsightly instrument of torture add absolutely worthless in showing tie lines of the figure. In addition to these difficulties with which she must contend, the adjustment of a woman’s organism is so delicate that the wearing of a corset which is rigid and unyielding produces derangements peculiar to women and developes a chain of miseries which often last through life. Every physician will tell you the most frequent cause of disease among women is due to tight lacing and unsanitary corsets. Tight lacing and waring corsets not adapted to the figure, should be avoided as you would smallpox. Cheap corsets are not only rigid and uncomfortable, but they are not hygenlc. They dwarf your physicial development and thereby deplete your strength. The'■-■best do not fit the figure as they should. They bring too much pressure on the body, where it is oftentimes very sensitive and do not touch the body at other points. This unequal distribution of pressure is very injurious and there should be no perceptible pressure anywhe e Besides the stays rust and break and the corset does not retain its shape. The present mode is to give a straig t line from the breast bone to the toes. Physicians admit that the Spirella company have overccme the objectionable fetures in the average corset. The straight front Spirella corset does not repress the pit of the stomach or interfere with digestion. Instead of dividing the organs of the chest from those of the abdomen and making an hour-glass of the figure as the old time co: set did by pressing in at the waist line, the straight front acts as a support to the' abdomen when properly adjusted. \ Chairs,! settees, tables, rugs, pictures, pennants, lawn tennis rackets, polo clubs, golf sticks, a piano, and a nunjuer of magazines constitute the fhrul strings of a room on the second floor of the Odd Fellows building. It is the quarters of the Iroquois Club, a social organization of young men, largely clerks, though partly of school boys. The room is a spacious one and can readily be arranged for small dances and the members have several times l.een hosts to small dancing parties since the club was organized. In the K. of P. building the Beta Phi Sigma Club has its quarters and another club is also located over Warner’s store. The Beta Phi Sigma boys were ■ the first to organize and so tidy are their quarters and so succ ssfully has the club been managed that it has induced organization of the ether and equally successful clubs. The Beta Phi Sigma Club has given several ! dances at the armory and will give another one tonight The requirements of the clubs demand respectability of the members, and any vicious habits or disgraceful conduct on the part of members is sufficient to result in their dismissal. Smoking is permissable, but only a few of the members indulge in this habit The average boy needs just such a 1 place to spend part of his time with his companions and if the surroundings are inviting and the moral tone is proper and the regulations in the matter of hours are enforced, no boy can belong to one of the clubs without receiving some benefit As we see it Rensselaer boyp are a lot i better off with the existence of clubs I than they would be with a few sa- ! loons doing business here.

Miss Fannie Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. Porter, entertained nine of her girl friends at a slumber party last evening and this morning the ten young ladks acted as hostesses and entertained ten young men at a 10 o’clock breakfast at the Porter home. The young ladies were, Misses Fannie Porter, Josie Porter, Myra Watson, Thena Meyer, Helen Lamson, Alice Drake, Lena Tuteuur, Martha Parkison, Juno Kannal and lome Imes. The boys were John Wade Laßue, Cleve Eger, Vaughn Woodworth, Arthur Tuteur, Frank Hardman, Wood Spitler, Emmet Laßue, Howard Mills and Rex Warner. Most of theyoung folks are graduates of the Rensselaer high school and most are or have been college students. It is suggested that the young ladies desired to close the leap year by proving their culinary abilities, and what was served must have been immensely satisfying for the beaus and swains did net make their getaway until 2:30 o’clock, long after the old and staid people had had both breakfast and dinner and were making arrangements for supper.

Misery in Stomach.

Asks Us to Print.

To (-relieve the worst forms of Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful ot the following mixture after each meal and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.; These harmless ingredients can be obtained from our home druggists, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief is g?nerally felt from the first tew doses. This prescription forces the cloggedup, inactive kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism. As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous disease, but dangerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at home, 1 who should at once prepare the mixture to get this re’ief. It is said that a person who would take this prescription regularly, a dose or two daily, or even a few times a week, would never have serious Kidney or Urinary disorders or Rheumatism. Cut this out and preserve it Good Rheumatism prescriptions which really relieve are scarce, indeed, and when you need it, you want it badly.

Good Advice Here.

Don’t stop In front of the stamp window at the post office to put stamps on your letters or parcels. You are delaying other people quite often by so doing. A. desk is provided for your ‘convenience and please turn to that when you desire to finish letters before mailing them. You’ll not only plase your fellow customers but the postofiice clerk by so doing. The writer has seen people who prided themselves on being unselfish delay business as much as fit e minutes at a stamp window by such actions and if you had told them of the trick would have been angry and disclaimed any such action. —Monticello Journal.

Our Husband Does His Duty.

Formal announcement of the fact that Mrs. J. L. Peetz will be his chief deputy has been made by J. L. Peetz, state statistical!. Mrs. Peetz will displace Miss Della Menke. It I has been'known for some time that Mrs. Peetz would occupy the position formerly occupied by Mary StubbsMoore under her father’s administration. When Mrs. Moore received her promotion to chief of the bureau Miss Menke was made chief deputy, which makes the line of women in the office unbroken for four years, 1 with the prospect of Mrs. Peetz for another two years. The office be-1 longed to Mrs. Peetz for another | reason besides the fact that she is the wife of the state statistician. She gave him such valuable assist-* ance through the Monon News, of which she was editor, that the statement is made in many quarters of the state that she elected him. Mr. Peetz announces the appointment of Wallace M. Denny, of Boonville, Warrick county, to the position of traveling deputy. Denny is a nephew of Caleb S. Denny, of Indianapolis, and is chairman of Warrick county. He was employed in the United States Census Bureau at the same time Mr. Peetz was there. He displaces Charles L. Stubbs. William M. Bailey is appointed field agent to succeed Will T. Walker. Mr. Bailey is from Terre Haute, where he was formerly a probation officer and deputy township assessor. Mr. Peetz said: “I want the clerks to know that their displacement is not the result of any lack of confidence on my part in their ability or competence. They have served efficiently in their respective fields.”

IN THE SICK ROOM

HINTB THAT NURBE WILL DO WELL TO REMEMBER. S I Occupation Is Trying at the Best, and Much Strain Can Be Avoided by Intelligent Methods of Work. It Is a great art to be a good sick nurse. It is surprising how individuality comeS out in the sickroom. The patient’s individuality shows itself by the patient being either gentle and patient or Irritable and unreasonable. The individuality of the nurse will‘be expressed in the way she meets these developments of the patient The strain on the part of the nurse to hold herself in check, to subdue her own individuality and adapt herself to the temperament, moods and whims of the patient is excessive. This mental strain is what wears out the trained nurse, because it is ceaseless. She goes from one case to another, and it is always the same thing, with variations. But you home nurses may, fortunately, only have an illness in the family once in a long time, so that you do not have this endless strain. When it does come take it quietly and call into use all your self-reserve, for you may need it A very ill person, especially .if delirious, may take a temporary dislike to some members of the family, and the queer part of it is that it is generally the patient’s favorite when well. You will have to use tact and not let a thing of this kind ruffle you. Remember, it is the disease and not the real feelings of the patient There may be a hundred times a day that you will feel like resenting something said or Implied, but say nothing and let it go. The more you argue with a sick person the more set the patient becomes. The high fever is accountable for much of this fractiousness and you will always bear in mind that the patient would be distressed if conscious of the fact that she is behaving unreasonably and giving unnecessary worry and unhappiness. A delirious patient may say something that will arouse your righteous wrath and your first instinct is to “answer back.” But hold onto yourself and say nothing. Be firm in giving the regular treatment at the regular times. The patient may object, then blame you afterward for not having done all things needed. By coaxing and using tact you can have your way about it, but you cannot if you go about it in a brusque way that will antagonize the “patient " 1 In trifles humor the patient, but in things of vital importance try quietly to gain your point. Never use force with an ill person; persuasion answers better. Never look tired and bored in the sickroom; it will annoy and distress the patient. We often hear some one say, after there has been an illness in the family: “I never had my clothes off for weeks.” That seems the acme of good home nursing to many women. According to the trained idea it fs absurd. It adds nothing to the comfort of the par tient for you to be uncomfortable and unhygienic for weeks. It is so unnecessary from every standpoint. A hospital nurse is trained to take good care of herself, otherwise she cannot take good care of her patient. 1 Never eat your meals in the sick room; it annoys the patient and is not wholesome for you. Never complain while in the sick- ' room of pain in your baick from bending over the bed, though you will be sure to have it. Don’t sigh and say you have a headache from staying indoors so much. The patient may feel bad as it is to give yoa this extra ■ work and responsibility for caring for tier. Don’t add to her distress by re- ! pining or pitying yourself. If you have no member of the fam- . Uy to help you, you should accept th*e help of a neighbor; they are always good about helping, too.

CALLED KING OF SOUPB.

Beef Bone and Vegetables Make an Ideal Combination. After thoroughly washing In tepid water a 15-cent beef shank soup bone, place ;*t In an eight-quart kettle and cover with cold water, and when slowly boiling remove all scum. Add a cup of cold water, which will cause more scum -to arise, and when clear cover closely and allow to boll slowly two hours, adding water Then add salt to taste, a . large onion cut in two, two large carrots ciit lengthwise in about six pieces each, and a large cupful of best tomatoesuse the tomatoes as they come from the can, the thick part as well as the juice—and boil the whole until the carrots are well done, when add a half teaspoonful of celery salt, and boll a few minutes longer, then strain and serve hot. A strip or two of the carrot can be served in each bowl If desired, they being palatable so cooked and great complexion beautlflers. This soup will be found most excellent for a weak stomach, or found most excellent for anyone recovering from sick headache.

BUCKWHEAT CAKES FOR TWO.

By Leaving a Starter, They Can Be Kept Going for Several Weeks. One quart lukewarm water, one tablespoonful cornmeal, one teaspoonful sugar, one-half cake of compressed yeast, one cupful buckwheat flour, one cupful white flour; let rise over night; In morning add one teaspoonful salt. Leave two-thirds cupful of batter for starter, and put In cool place until following night, when you repeat as before, with the exception of the yeast (which you do not need again), and the sugar. The second morning turn out the batter you want to use In another dish and add the salt and sugar and a pinch of soda. If any of this batter is left do not put back with the starter, as it is not good to keep after the soda is in it. By leaving a starter each time and doing as directed, these cakes can be kept going for several weeks, but be sure and not put in salt until just before baking, and they will always be light This recipe is sufficient for two people.

Chocolate Pie.

Bake a crust the same as for a cocoanut pie, then fill with this mixture; Put one cup of milk with a pinch of salt and a square and a half of grated chocolate Into the double boiler. When hot stir In two level tablespoonfuls of flour moistened to a paste with a little cold milk. Cook, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened, then cook just ten minutes longer. Mix the yolks of two eggs with five tablespoonfuls sugar, and pour the hot mixture over them, stirring well. Return to the double boiler and cook two minutes, stirring constantly. Cool, flavor with vanilla and cinnamon, put into the crust, bake tea minutes, then, after cooling slightly, cover with a meringue made from the whites of the eggs whipped stiff with two tablespoonfuls sugar. Set in a cool oven to putt and color.

Cheese Pudding.

A delicious cheese pudding is made from one flve-cent loaf of baker’s bread with a half pound of good cheese about the strength of that used In making Welsh rarebit. Cut off the hard crusts of the bread, slice and butter, laying slices loosely In the baking dish with alternate layers ot cheese, cut In thin slices. Beat one egg and add a quart of milk with a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over bread and cheese and let it soak until every slice Is moistened. Bake 35 to 45 minutes until brown on top as in bread pudding. Serve on hot plates and quickly. The hotter the better.

Baked Bean Rarebit.

A novelty In the shape of a bean rarebit Is recommended In the Woman’s Home Companion as a good way of using up the left-over baked beans. The recipe Is as follows: Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add one teaspoonful of salt, oneeighth of a teaspoonful of paprika, one-half cupful of milk and one cupful of cold mashed baked beans. Stir until thoroughly heated and add one-half cupful of grated soft, mild cheese. As soon as the cheese has melted serve on small circular pieces of toasted bread or zephyrettes. The recipe is admirably adapted for chafing dish use.

Dandelion Wine.

One gallon dandelion blossoms picked when the sun Is shining. Put in stone crock; pour over them one gallon of boiling water. Let stand in a cool place for three days; then put In a porcelain-lined kettle, with the rind of three oranges and one lemon cut, up fine. 801 115 minutes, strain, add three pounds of sugar and the pulp and juice of the oranges and lemon. When lukewarm add half of a yeast cake. Stand one week In * warm place. Strain again; let stand intll It stops working, then bottle.

Glazed Carrots.

Wash and scrape the carrots and cook In boiling salted water until tender. Drain; slice and place In a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle sparingly with sugar, salt and pepper, and dot over with butter. Add a half cup •>f water and bake in a hot oven until brown.
