A summary of the results secured during the past five years of experimental fee’ding at Purdue will be given by W. A. Cochel, of the animal husbandry department. This will cover a wide range of subjects, including the value of plover hay, timothy hay, corn silage, corn stover, cotton seed meal and linseed meal for fattening purposes, the influence of age on the rate and cost of gain and profits secured from feeding, and the relative merits of short vs. long feeding periods. Everyone who is interested in the feeding -of fat beef cattle should be present. A program will be mailed on application to W. A. COCHEL, Sec’y., Lafayette, Ind.

A DOCTOR’S PRESCRIPTION FOR PIMPLES. To remove Pimples, Blackheads, Blotches and all forms of skin eruptions, is, according tq a well known physician, a very easy matter; he says that many are afflicted with some one of the above ailments, and are subject to a great deal of embarrassment on account of the unsightly appearance which they present, and recommends the following simple, harmless and inexpensive treatment. Go to your Druggist and get this prescription filled: Clearola one-half ounce, Ether one ounce, Alcohol seven ounces, mix, shake well and apply to the parts affected night and morning, allowing it to re* main on the skin at least ten minutes, then wipe off the powder from the skin. Use a soft cloth or sponge in applying the mixture and in from ten aays to two weeks your face will be smooth and clear as a marriage bell. Get the Pure Clearola, which is only put up in one-half ounce packages. Ask to see it.

The Monon is running several extra trains over this division about every week. Most of the cars were loaded with building material for eastern destinations. This is something unusual for this branch, but it is a significant fact that business everywhere is on the move. —Francesville Tribune. "Uncle” Clint Hopkins paid the Republican office a visit this morning. He will be 88 years of age on March 6th, and has not spent a week in bed on account of sickness since he was 18 years old. ’ He came to Jasper county in 1851 and reeeunts vividly all the history of the town during the past 58 years.

Myers, of the Chicago School for [City 1 , Home and Foreign Missions, was here yesterday on some matters of interest to the Monnett School for Girls. Some furnace repairs for the hot water plant have been received at the home and will be installed as soon as workmen can get at it. Mr. Myers thinks the school has a good future but it has been a little slow getting started. Any friends who care to assist the home will find those in charge very grateful. A little charity of this kind will be practical and well placed. Several of our older people are reported to be feeling quite poorly. Among them, "Uncle” John Makeever, who has been feeling poorly for some time and is confined to his apartments at the Makeevef house. Norman Warner is also quite poorly. He contracted a cold Sunday evening, having been caugbt out in the rain as be was returning from taking his cow to pasture. He Is possibly a little better today but it will take him some

time to recover from his sickness. J. T. Randle had a sort of back set from his recent sickness a few days ago and is again confined at his home with indigestion.

Mrs. L. A. Harmon arrived home today instead of yesterday, having stopped off at Pontiac, 111., for one day. She left her mother considerably improved. Oxford is holding a lot sale to secure a factory fund. The amount of hot air that goes to. waste over there during the baseball season would suggest a fanning mill factory. Attorney Geo. E. Hershman, a Jasper county boy who is making good at ‘Crown Point, and his wife and baby came down last evening to attend the funeral tomorrow of Mrs. Earl Barkley. J. H. Robinson, a horse buyer from Huntington, returned home today and will come back the first of the week and. try to get enough more horses to make a load. A. G. Hardy is working with him.

He is on a business trip to Chicago and St. Louis and their visit here will be brief.

Arrangements as to date have not yet been made for the Sternbergs to get through the Monon railroad bridge with their dredge. The road has been unable to get the piling on hand for the work and it now looks like the bridge would not be taken out before a week froni <tomorrfcw, ■ Mrs. Eliza Ascue and daughter, Miss Rebecca, of Tazewell county, Va., who have been visiting Mrs. Chester Halstead, the former’s daughter, for the past two months, left this morning for Belmont, Kans., to visit a son.

' 1 »«■».” Norman Warner continues to be very poorly and is not thought to be quite so well today. His condition is sufficient to alarm the family considerably, but it Is thought probable that he will recover in time. James T. Randle suffered another chill yesterday but came out of it in very good shape and seems to be better today. There Is no change in E. , Hollin. *Uncle” John Makeever was able to make a trip to his bank this morning, but he is feeling very poorly.

Sharpe, have completed their magazine subscription campaign here and went to Monon today, where they will work for the next week, going thence south and east toward Logansport.

Sharpe, whose successful evangelistic work in Rensselaer some 23 years ago resulted in the organization of the Rensselaer Christian church. * Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan are billed like a circus over the lines of the Monon. Most every billboard from here to Lafayette and from Rensselaer to Frankfort shows large lithos of the clever team in their many dance poses. The Dixon Bros., who went on the Mauretania with the team last summer to Europe and who are considered the world’s greatest musical clowns, are also on the bill, while Mr. and Mrs. Allison in their clever sketch and McCauly and Conwell shine in big type also. In fact Mr. Reynolds says from the looks of the bill Lafayette is presenting as good vaudeville as New York or Chicago. < Attorney George E. Hershman is wofking at abstracting in Crown Point and is getting along very nicely. He is also practicing some and represents several parties in the bankruptcy proceeding of the American Lubric and Refining Co., which comes up next week before Referee John O. Bowers, in Hammond. It is estimated that there are labor claims against the company of $7,000 or SB,OOO. A man named Applegate is at the head of the concern, which was incorporated some years ago under the laws of South Dakota. Mr. Hershman believes that the company sold in the neighborhood of $75,000 worth of stock and the buyers were the losers. Considerable expensive machinery was installed and enough should be realized to pay the labor claims. Attorneys Foltz & Spitler, of this city, also represent a large number of creditors. CASTOR IA .
