FOR TOUR HEALTH’S SAKE Germ Collectors. Long dress skirts that brush up the streets and sidewalks are dangerous to health. A garment of this character -will collect in" a few minutes’ walk about the choicest and most • varied assortment of disease germs that ever gladdened the heart of an expert bacteriologist. Women shold insist on having their street costumes made so that the germ laden filth of the streets need not be carried into their homes to spread disease.
Outdoor Poor Relief In 1908.
Why was the total expenditure for official outdoor poor relief in Indiana over $65,000 greater last year than in 1907? The Board of State Charities has received detailed reports of poor relief for last year from every one of the 1,016 township overseers of the poor. These have beeil compiled and show the total expenditures for the year amounted to $292,496.19 —greater by $65,491.48 than in 1907, and $48,594.82 more than the average annual expenditure of the eight years immediately preceding. The conditions during the winter of 1907-8 were extremely hard on the poor and it is known the demand for aid was very heavy particularly in certain parts of the state. It was expected that there would be a considerable increase in the amount of relief given by the township trustees. In all but fourteen of the ninety-two counties in the state more relief was given last year than in 1907. This varied from $13.30 in Lagrange county to $7,608.87 in Lake county. Center township, Marion county, containing the city of Indianapolis, gave aid to the amount of $9,577.79, and North township, Lake county, containing the city of Hammond, gave $9,724.26, the highest amount of any county in the state. Fifty-nine townships gave no aid, 395 gave less than SIOO, 449 be-' tween SIOO and SSOO, 61 between SSOO and SI,OOO, and 49 SI,OOO and over. The overseers report that 56,200 persons, 26,875 males and 29,395 females, shared in the relief in 1908. This is an increase of 18,476 over 1907, and the highest number reported since 1899. Of the number of aided last year there were 26,539 children under 16 years of age. The white persons aided numbered 51,806, and the colored 4,394. The leading cause of relief was sickness and burial, 9,482; lack of employment next, 2,263. The greatest number of persons aided were laborers. The families aided numbered 12,531 with 49,215 members. The average number of persons in each family was 3.9. The Tamflles consisting of two members each numbered 3,592 or 28.6 per cent, and those of three members each numbered 2,564 or 20.4 per cent. There were 2,266 families, or 18 per cent of four members each and 1,664 of 13 per cent had five members each. The remaining 2,445 families or 19 per cent had six or more members. The increase in the amount of poor relief had an effect upon the amount of the tax levy to reimburse the counties for money advanced to the township. The highest levy reporter is 14 cents in Polk township, Monroe county, and the next highest, 12 cents in Rutherford township, Marion county. Ten cent levies were made in the following townships: Boone and Whiskey Run in Crawford county; Franklin in Jordan county; Calumet in Lake county; Monroe in Madison and Peru in Miami county. Alto gether there were 88 levies of five cents or more. It is interesting to observe that while the men outnumber the women two to one in the county poor asylums more women than men were aided by the township overseers of the poor.
Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the., mucous lining of -the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. „ F. J. CHENEY A CO, Toledo, O.

“Batter Up—Play Ball.!”
Batter up—play ball! Now soon will ring the gladsome cry. And from each eager rooter’s eye Expectant fire will fiercely flow '= In sort of incandescent glow. The sphere will from the pitcher shoot, The batter swat it in the snoot, And men will pound their hands and - 1 yen Like demons just pardoned from, ahem— And faces will fly out of shape With wild excitement, till an ape Would look around with social grin And feel that he was ’mong his kin. He’d better quit; He couldn’t hit A balloon Or the moon, With a slat For a bat. By gol, Je-ru-sa-lem! But that throw was bum, Say, that was a bird— Git ’im on third, Whoo-ray! Yip! Yeouw! That was a play Fer yer whiskers—Now Bobby, old socks it’s up to you! Show us what you can do. Woo-00-oo! Run! You son of a gun! Another three bagger! No, By Jo! It’s a homer—Hoo-ray! Whoop—Wow! Yip! Yeouw!

Mamma Was Game.
Caroline, four years old and precocious, sat munching at the finale oi -an apple. ‘‘Throw the core in the old bucket on the porch, dear,” fond mamma said. ‘‘But mamma, it’s dark out there,” the youngster protested. ‘‘Well, darkness won’t hurt you. Darkness is only day with coal soot all over its face.” The argument bore no weight with Caroline. Finally, her mother gave her a look that, in this particular family has the same meaning as the word “git.” “But, mamma, I’m afraid,” the little one pleaded. “Oh, afraid, afraid, afraid, that’s all I hear. I wasn’t afraid when I was a little girl.” “Was you game,’ mamma?” the youngster queried. “Yes, of course, I was game.” “Are you still game?” “Yes, of course, I’m still game.” ‘-‘Then you take the apple core out, ’cause I ain’t.” And mamma was game.

Memorial Day, 1909.
Owing to the fact that the regular Memorial Day, May 30th, falls on Sunday this year, it has been thought advisable to dispense with the customary parade tb, and exercises at, the cemetery this year and, instead, proceed as per the following itinerary: Saturday, May 29th, the M. E. church will be suitably decorated for Sunday union services. Flowers and evergreens will be gathered, taken to and prepared at MesdameS J. M. Wasson’s and J. F. Irwin’s. Sunday, May 30th, the soldiers’ graves in Weston cemetery will be decorated early in the morning. , At 10:15 a. m. the G. A. R. Posts and soldiers generally, the Rensselaer W. R. C. No. 39 and Milroy Circle No. 3, Ladies of G. A. R. will meet at the court house, organize and march to the church, at which union services will take place. A combined Memorial Sermon and Decoration Day oration will be delivered by Elder H. L. Kindig, pastor of the church, and Memorial music rendered by a choir conducted by Prof. C. E. Pryor. The citizens of Rensselaer and the Sunday school children are respectfully requested to kindly lend their aid —the former by contributing such flowers as they may be able to and the latter by collecting the same and taking them to the places designated for their preparation.

“The most merciless enemy I had for 20 years,” declares Mrs. James Duncan, of Haynesville, Me , “was Dyspepsia. I suffered intensely after eating or drinking and could scarcely sleep.

How to Bure Umi Trouble Bowels Regular and Your Stomach Sweet People sometimes imagine when they have liver trouble or are bilious that the main thing to do is to take physic. > Taking pills and keeping your bowels regular are two very different matters. ,The use of a violent cathartic does not mean the cure of constipation or the establishment of regular movements. A physic is an emergency remedy, but never a bowel treatment. If the bowels do not move regularly there is a reason deeper seated than the mere clogging up that is removed by a dose of salts or plus. * When that drowsy, tired feeling, with the coated tongue, the dull heed pains, the sour stomach, the sallow complexion,constipated bowels and touches of fever come on It is time to take a medicine that will act on the bowels gently and mildly, cleansing and strengthening them, stir up the liver and aid the stomach in digesting the food. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin does this every time. Take a few doses and see how quickly the drowsy feeling leaves, regular bowel movements come back, with a good appetite and perfect digestion, and you soon feel like your old self. It does not gripe nbr pain, it acts smoothly, mildly and is very pleasant to take. Wm. Hinchman, Mesick, Mich., says: "I was troubled with indigestion and liver trouble. I have used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin with fine results. It is a perfect laxative and I now feel as strong and well as formerly.” Wm. Block, Niantic, 81., says: "Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy I ever used for liver complaint or constipation." Mrs. R. H. Brown, Addington, Ind. Ter., was troubled with torpid liver and constipation. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gave her prompt relief. All druggists sell it at 60c and SI.OO per bottle. * Pepsin Syrup Co., 306 Caldwell Bldg., Monticello, 111-, is glad to send a free sample to anyone who has never used it and will give it a fair trial.
