Notice to Bruner Telephone Subscribers.

Rensselaer, Ind., March 15, 1909. All subscribers to the Bruner telephone lines are hereby given notice that payments are to be made in the future at the State Bank of Rensselaer or to Earl Bruner, either of whom will receipt for the same. I wish to thank the patrons who helped me straighten up my lines following the sleet disaster, and I wish to ask them to be as prompt as possible about the payments. Owing to the expense at this time I am in need of all the money due and wil appreciate settlement of all accounts without delay”.

Mr. M. W. Phillips- who lectures here next Tuesday afternoon and night on Indian life and the old Northwest Teri it ory is agi eat favorite witty the American kid. He is their champion and understands the American youngster better than the best of them. He has coached the high school, boys in their sports such as baseball and track events. He has played their/ games and even today gets on the field with them and hails with delight their light gay life. He holds the American boy up to the lime light as a factor in American history as one who has achieved much and gained little credit. That his name and fame are lost in oblivion while others who have done no more go down in the pages of history as the illustrious dead of our land. With this idea in view he has dedicated the lecture he will give here next Tuesday to that personage which, is the only one in history who has beep forgotten, “The American Kid.’’ He will show a number of slides in his lecture of the daring deeds of the American boy in history. When he lectured in Tipton several months ago a youngtser was so tickled at his allusions to the American kid that he jumped up in his seat and clapped his hands in glee and yelled out “You’r Right Sir.’* Mr. Phillips prizes that as the greatest tribute to his lecture career. The lecture will not only be a valuable contribution to the graded school history but to the boys at St. Joseph college as well. He was the baseball coach of the famous Oakwood high school baseball team and the college boys and that are very friendly. In Tipton the parish and public schools attended his lecture in a body. At opera home, Tuesday, March 16th.

A Remarkable Invention ia Credited to a Swedish Chemist. Milk that can be carried about in a snuff box or a tabaooo pouch, and that with the addition of a little water Ckh-' not be distinguished from the article which is freshly yielded from the cow, is one of the latest romances of science. This wonderful article is the invention of Dr. M. Ekenberg, a Swedish chemist, who is now a resident of London, and who demonstrated his process of drying milk recently. The process can cnly be described as “drying" milk, for that is what it is in its simplest form. The water which the milk contains is extracted from it and the solid parts which remain duced to a fine powder. All that is required to restore the powder to the condition of pure natural milk is toe add a quantity of water equivalent to that which has been extracted in the process of solidification. The essential part of Dr. Eken berg’s machine is what so known as the exsiccator. This consists of a steel drum revolving in a vacuum, which is heated to the temperature of the human body. The milk is pumped into the machine at one end and partially solidified before it reaches the drum. The thick liquid is then car ried over the drum, and by the time it has reached the side furthest' I from the pump it is solid and ip scraped off the drum by fijxed- knives, In- the shape of long, curling ribbons. These rtbbpns breaks .info fragments as they Mlfe ftp r T\? cle plac « celve them, and they are afterward milled’to a fi^soWer. ?a ” Tie powder wilt keOp indefinitely in tins, and it will keep for several lays after the tin is opened. Afibther advantage of the process'-Is that while the drying kills all the harmful bac-, "dnia in milk, it does not destroy the enzymes or ferments which add so much to the fopd value of milk.

POWDERED MILK

Carried a Live Skunk by the Tail.

Both-of our hired men have often insisted that a live skunk could be safely carried by the tail, insisting that they had often seen it done. Since the veracity of both men happens to be absolutely unquestionable, my father did not hesitate to mention this fact in his writing. He was once ‘‘‘called down by several naturalists, one df them being Prbf. Bailey. So it happened the other morning, when I caught a skunk in a trap set for rats in front of my hen house, I at once informed father that I had a skunk for him and it was about time for him to put his theory in practice by taking his own medicine, etc. We all had our misgivings, but were also secretly dblighted when he proved,,in spite of his 70 years, to be game. By means of a Idqrg pole the poor skunk was dragged about and roughly treated to make him good and mad. Then my father liberated him, barehanded from the trap ,seized him by hii waving plume-like tail, and jerked him quickly into the air. There was nothing doing, Prof. Bailey to the contrary notwithstanding. Whether or not the skunk could have discharged his phosphorus-sulphurous essence ?annot be said; certaihly he did not. After exhibiting and' being cheered by the spectators (who All stood out of range) my father dropped the skunk In a barrel.

Having often watched skunks discharge their perfumery I am firmly convinced that no skunk, held in midair by the tail, could shoot. 'This is affirmed by a good skunk story that the hired man tells, h*» being an eyewitness:

"One night when we were out ’coon huntin’ the dogs ran a skunk in the wall. So and so pulled him out by the tail, holding him up with one hand, while he threw rocks at him with the other. Unluckily while feeling for a stone he lowered Mr. Skunk so that he got his front feet on the wall. Quicker’n lightning, before he thought, he got soaked fair right in his eye. He just rolled on the ground; t near blinded him.” , The nature fakirs often misuse the skunk, speaking of him as though his terrible odor were always present, it

being one of his external fixtures. In truth there is no neater or cleaneanimal than a skunk or one with less odor. Those who have very often dug out skunks in the winter time say that their dene even when occupied all winter by fiv- or six skunks, is odorless, dry and clean. —Forest and Stream. * J

“I rise with the sun.” “Commendable habit.” “Regular as a clock, you see. Up winter and summer at the same hour.” “Not at all.” ■'Eh?” "t tay not at all. The sun varies its time of rising fully two hours through the year." “Well, I declare! I never thought of that” “And now, my good man, what are you going to do with it?” asked the stingy, rich man of a beggar to whom he bad given a two-cant piece. “That’s just what troubles me, sir.

Quite Insulting.

Sir John Millais tells this story on himself. He was dotfn by the banks •f the Tay, painting in the rushes of famous landscape, “Chill October,” which has thrilled us all with the ineffable sadness and mystery of the dying summer. He worked on so steadily that he failed to observe a watcher, until a voice said: “Eh, mon, did ye ever try photography?” “No,” said the artist, “I never have.” “It’s a deal quicker, quoth his friendly critic, eyeing the picture doubtfully. Millais was not flattered, so he waited a minute before replying. “I dare say it is.” His lack of enthusiasm displeased the Scot, who tcok another look and then marched off with the Parthian shot: “Ay, and photography’s a muckle sight mair like the place, toe.”— Everybody’s Magazine.

THE BRINK IS NEAR.

y * e I FEW RENSSELAER PEOPLES KNOW HOW NEAR IT IS. x I Every time you neglect backache, | Allow the kidneys to become clogged Fall to cure urinary disorders. You get nearer the brink of Bright’s disease. Doan’s Kidney Pills will save you from danger. Mrs. Wm. A. White, 729 Seventeenth st., Logansport, Ind., sayst “Kidney complaint clung to my husband for over three years. Qe had frequent backaches and when he stopped or lifted, sharp twinges would dart through his body. There, were so many other symptoms showing that his kidneys were out of order, that he at last decided to try a kidney remedy and having seen Doan’s Kidney Pills highly advertised, procured a box. They cured him in a short time, and he has had no return of the complaint from that day to this which is over ten years.” Plenty more proof like this from Rensselaer people. Call at B. F. Fendig’s drug store and ask what customers report For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.

Monticello Democrat Followed Consistent Temperance Policy.

The Monticello Democrat has been at variance with a great .part of tb-" democratic party, at least of the leader?, in reference to the county option law, and when many of the papers of the state were crying loudly for the repeal, the Monticello Democrat was manfully and masterfully arguing for its retention. Brother Simons spoke of the Tomlinson bill as an agglomeration of abortive, half-baked ideas on saloon regulation. A copy of the paper fell into the hands of Milton T. McCarty, one of the two democratic senators who voted against the repeal and he wrote to thank Editor Simmons in the folowing terms: I want to thank you for the kind way in which you commended my action on the liquor question in your editorial in “The Democrat” under date of the sth Inst. I assure you it makes me feel mighty good to hear that my constitutents and friends approve of my attitude in this matter. I have a clear conscience that I did what was right and for the best interest of my party. I am sorry f was in the sad minority vote -of my party on this question. I am encouraged by the words of Lincoln: “I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true.. I am not bound to succeed but am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.” I have received many letters from both parties endorsing my course. Again. thanking you and with best wishes, I remain, Very truly yours, MILTON T. McCARTY;--With more McCarty’s in the Democratic party there would soon be a finish of the Tom Taggart reign.
