PATTY SEEKS A GOOD PARTY

But Gets Little Help From Her Father ’ 7*’*'-T7.'i" and Brother. Miss Patty had long had political aspirations, and yearned to understand all about parties, platforms and planks. She had never joined a woman’s club for' Patty lived and flourished In a town where the women were all domestic and never indulged &'lilg|ier intellectual’ food tliah that afforded by the weekly sewing circle. Patty received the finishing touches to a sound education at a private school for young’women, after graduating at a good Methodist seminary In Namelessville, and returned to the paternal roof thoroughly equipped (as she supposed) tor all th- varied and complex duties of life. Patty had vague longing in her innocent mind for some knowledge beyond that required In the schoolroom. She argued to herself that of course men who had to prepare for the arduous duty of voting would know all about parties and their platforms. Visions came to her mind of the noble principles and high standard of the best party, and she felt that even If she were denied the great and sublime right of casting her vote, at least she would understand-thorough-ly the principles ‘underlying each party, and cast her sympathy and influence with that party which stood for right and justice. In such an exigency as this to whom should a timid maiden, not out of her teens, turn but to her father? So Patty went to papa, and said, “papa, I want to know the difference between a Democrat and a Republican.” “Want to know what! my daughter.” “The difference between a Democrat and a Republican.’’ Papa peered curiously over his goldbowed glasses for a mement, and then said: “Ahem! that is a very complicated subject, my dear, —very complicated, merely a difference in platforms, that’s all; never could explain such subjects to a woman any way. By the way, you left lumps in the heels of my stockings last week when you darned them. I would advise your mother to give you a few more lessons In mending,’’ and after this unaccountable switch from Miss Patty’s track, he subsided Into the depths of his newspaper. Patty tried to give him a reproachful glance, but the ominous crackling of the sheet warned her that she could look for no more light* from that quarter; so, heaving a regretful ’sigh, she sought out her big brother. “Henry, will you please tell me the •difference between a Democrat and a Republican?" . “Why, sure, ask me a harder one. The Democrats are all liars and scoundrels, and the Republicans are all thieves and robbers. The ’’

“Bat those other parties, Henry, the populists, the prohibitionists, the socialists, sure some off them must be honest. This new wing of the Republican party, who carry little flags sticking from their pockets, and talk about the little red school house, indeed, Henry, they must be patriots.” 1 “My dear girl,” declared Henry In a parental manner. “They are all good, all honest, all are right I would advise you to vote for the Republicans for they believe In yellow money and protection. Or vote for the Democrats for they believe in free coinage, free trade, free rum and the breaking up of the trusts which the Republican party nurses and feeds with Mellin’s food. Or vote the prohibition ticket and rid the land of Intemperance; for when they elect their candidates ‘There’ll be no more rum drunk then.’ Or vote for the populists, for when the government owns the railroads, the telegraph, the mines and controls business generally we’ll have prosperity. Or vote for the socialists, for. when they hold the balance of power they’ll take from the rich and give to the poor and we won’t need any soup houses, nor any church fairs ’ But Patty stuffed her pretty fingers In her ears and ran away, for she realized that in all Henry said he hadn’t told her the difference between a Democrat and a Republican. As a last resort Miss Patty went to the editor, acting on the generally understood principle that editors know everything. “Mr. Editor, will you pleaso tell me the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?”’ The great man ran his hand through his hair, overturned a pile of exchanges, upset the glue pot and spilled the ink. then he said: “The Democrats think gold money good, stiver money better, but any kind good enough. The Republican scorns to ask what the money is, but only shouts ‘more.’ The Democrats scorns nnd despises trusts because the men concerned tn them are all Republicans. The Republicans want change In office, and change In their pockets, and they're going to have it, too.” Miss Patty stood aghast, and then cried In horror and despair, “But whbre is that great and good party to which honest men and patriots belong’” And then that editor laughed an inhuman laugh and said, “Long years ago Diogenes took a lantern and •earched for an honest man. You had better take a garden rake and half a dozen headlights and look for your great and good par—” But Patty had fled, and now when politics are discussed in her presence She listens with the benign sadness Which Is born of superior wisdom.— Springfield Republican.

HANGING GROVE.

Dora Phillips went to Rensselaer Wednesday. Chas. Saidla made a business trip to Rensselaer Tuesday.

Speaking of sacrifices, it surely must mean something to leave our friends and relatives and native Iknd to go among heathens.

Bleached Flour under Ban of Food Commissioner.

Bleached flour in the state of Indiana is under the ban. H. E. Barnard, food and drug commissioner to the State Board of Health, has sent out letters of notification to the millers and flour merchants that the recent food inspection decision by James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of bleached flour, unless so labeled, after June 9, would be enforced. Bleaching is a very profitable way of raisin the grade of flour inexpensively. It is not known that Indiana millers are worse offenders than the average. The notification is merely that the law will be enforced. In the hammer throw at the state high school meet at Lafayette Saturday Conwell of Van Buren threw a hammer which struck Prof. B. M. Hoak of Purdue, one of the judges, in the abdomen. He was knocked down, and is in a serious condition.

The Value of Good Digestion

Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach is worth. Kodol fceeps the stomach at par value, by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia.

Kodol Insures good digestion by absolutely duplicating Nature's normal process, in perfectly digesting all food taken into the stomach. sWhile Kodol 1* doing this, the stomach is resting—and becoming strong and healthy. A strong and healthy stomach guarantees a sound and active brain. The man with a sound stomach —a stomach that is doing for the body jtfst what- Nature Intended It to do—is the man who is always prepared for any emergency. He u “there with the goods.” The man with a sick stomach, is a man sick all over. When the stomach is irritated by undigested food, the blood and heart are directly affected. Then dullness, unnatural sleepiness, stck-beadache*. ▼ertigo and, fainting spells, and even serious brain trouble develop. Kodol will prevent these. Spurring the stomach and brain

FAULTLESS PRESCRIPTION ■ No Remedy for Stomach Distress and Indigestion so Perfect A scientific prescription for dyspepsia put up in small tablet, form and callted Mi-o-na is making thousands of quick and lasting cures throughout America. There is no stomach disease (even catarrh of the stomach) that it is. not guaranteed to cure, and B. F. Fendig has so much faith in Ml-o-na for stomach disorders of all kind that he will refund your money if it does not cure. Mi-o-na, the faultless prescription, stops sour stomach, belching of gas, distress after eating, heartburn," biliousness and nervousness. It is well worth a trial by any reader of the Republican who suffers from any stomach disturbance. It contains Ingredients that not only give relief but that act on the stomach so beneficially that in a short time the flabby, tired out walls of the stomach regain their strength and activity and can perfectly digest any kind of food without aid. Try Ml-o-na for a week; misery will change to happiness; despair to hope, dull eyes to bright and you will yourself wonder why you suffered so long with such a remarkable prescription at hand. Any only 50 cents for a large box at B. F. Fendig’s and druggists everywhere. D 23

Fly Repellant Will Make Tour Stock Happy, Soon the flies will begin to annoy the cows and calves and here is a recipe for a repellant which is said to be quite effective, says the Kansas Farmer: Rosin, 1% pounds; laundry soap, 2 cakes; fish oil, half pint; enough water to make three gallons. Dissolve the rosin in a solution of soap and water by heating, add the fish oil and the rest of the water. Apply with a brush. If to be used as a spray, add half pint of kerosene, this mixture will cost you from 7 to 8 cents per gallon, and may be used on cows and calves. A half pint of this mixture is considered enough for one application for a cow; a' calf, of course, would require considerably less. It will be more economical to apply this only to the parts of the animal not reached by the tail. At first it will be necessary to give two or three applications per week, until the outer ends of the hair become coated with rosin. After that, retouch those parts where the rosin is rubbed off. This formula has been used by the Kansas Agricultural College successfully.

Grocers and meat market owner* living in the southern part of the city of Muncie have come to an agreement whereby none of them will sell goods on Sundays hereafter. Eighty-flve per cent of the grocers and meat men in the residence sections have entered the agreement. Robert Jolly who, on June 13, 1907, killed his little daughter with a knife at their home in Indianapolis, was declared Insane by a jury at Danrille, and will be sent to the hospital for the criminal insane at Michigan City.

to special effort by “tonics’* and “stimulants” doesn’t cure anything, or accomplish any good. Neither does dieting. Indigestion and the serious ailments which it induces can be averted and corrected only by natural means. Kodol supplies this natural means. It performs the stomach’s work for it —just as the stomach should perform it—while the stomach takes a little rest, “for the stomach’s sake.” • Our Guarantee Go to your druggist today and got a dollar bottle. Then after you have uaed the entire contents of the bottle If you can honestly say, that It baa not dona you any good, return the bottle to the drug-glut aai he will refund your money without question or delay.
