[What the Kidneys Do ISSUES A PROCLAMATION
10 lr I'ncensinK Work Keeps I's Strong nn<! Healthy. All the blood in the tody passes rough the kidneys once every ree minutes. The kidneys filter e blood. They work night and A y When healthy they remove bout BOO grains of Impure matter ailv, when unhealthy some part of apart matter Is left in the lood. This brings on many diseases , n d symptoms—pain in the back, jcadache, nervousness, hot, dry skin heumatism. gout, gravel, disorders if the eyesight and hearing, dizzies.'. irregular heart, debility, rowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the rine. etc. But if you keep the Birrs right you will have no trouble r ith your kidneys. Charles Mizener, electrician, liv'ng m Uloomington st., near Washington It., Greencastle, Ind., says: “I know f bat kidney complaint is because I mffored from it for eighteen years, he trouble was caused, I believe, •om overwork and my kidneys grew eaker and weaker until every cold caught settled in the small of my ark and I always had to be careful ot to over-lift or move quickly. If did sharp pains would dart here nd there through the loins and of|en I suffered from dull throbbing eadaches. Of course, when these ipells attacked me I was helpless nd would quit work and go to bed. consulted a doctor and used many emedies but the relief I obtained as not satisfactory until I got oan s Kidney Pills at Jones’ drug tore. I had heard them so highly erommended that I thought they ight help me and I am thankful to ay they did from the first dose. It equired only two boxes to entirely ure the kidney complaint and since hen I have not had the slightest ivmptom of the trouble. Doan's Kid'ey Pills have my earnest endorse-
aent.’

President Roosevelt Issued Edict to The People of the United States Formally Setting November 2S, as Thanksgiving Day.
RECOMMENDS REST THAI DAY
President Roosevelt on Saturday iast Issued his Thanksgiving proclamation through the secretary of state, naming the last Thursday of November, the 28th. The proclamation follows: “Once again the season of the year has come when, iu accordance with the custom of our forefathers fo- generations past, the president appoints a day as the special occasion for all our people to give praise and thanksgiving to God. • “During the past year we have been free from famine, from pestilence, from war. We are at peace with all the rest of mankind. Our natural resources are at least as great as those of any other nation. We believe that in ability to develop and take advantage of these resources the average man of this nation stands at least as high as the average man of any other. Nowhere else in the world is there such an opportunity for a free people to develop to the fullest extent all its powers of body, of mind and of that which stands above both body and mind— character. “Much has been given us from on high and much will rightly be expected of us iu return Into our care the ten talents have been intrusted and we are to be pardoned neither if we squander and waste them, nor yet if we hide them in a napkin; for they must be fruitful In our hands. Ever throughout the ages, at all times and among all people, prosperity has been fraught with danger, and it behooves us to beseach the Giver of all things that we may not fall into love of ease and of luxury; that we may not lose our sense of moral responsibility; that we may not forget our duty to God and to our neighbor. “A great democracy like ours, a democracy based upon the principles of orderly liberty, cau be perpetuated only if in the hearts of ordinary citizens there dwells a keen sense of righteousness and justice. We should earnestly pray that this spirit of righteousness and justice may grow even greater in the hearts of all of us, and that our souls may be Inclined ever more both toward the virtues that tell for gentleness and tenderness, for loving kindness and forbearance one with another, and toward those no les necessary virtues than make for manliness and rugged hardihood—for without these qualities neither nation nor individual can rise to the level of greatness. “Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, do set apart Thursday, the 28th day of November, as a day for general thansgiviug and prayer, and on that day I recommend that the people shall cease from their daily work, and, in their homes or in their churches, meet devoutly to thank the Almighty for the many and great blessings they have received in the past, and to pray that they may be given the strength so to order their lives as to deserve a continuation of these blessings in the future.”
A DOG'S AGE DON'T COUNT
The public has long been very much at sea in regard to the dog tax. There have been almost as many opinions on the matter as there are lawyers in the state of Indiana. In order to test the validity of the law, W. H. Sharpe, editor of the Wabash Times-Star, had himself arrested for refusing to pay his dog tax. The test of the decision of the supreme court of Indiana in this case is given below: “(1) The tax imposed for keeping or harboring a dog Is a per capita tax, and not a tax on the dog as property. (2) One who acquires a dog in the course of the year after May 15, is found to report and pay tax on such dog, even thought h!s former owner may have paid taxes thereon when he had it , or even though the dog were not born until long after May 15 (on June 21) and may have come into such person's possession a few days before it was three months old (Sept. 17), and may have been kept by him only three weeks. And a failure to pay taxes on the dog makes such a person liable to a fine under Sec. 2847, et seq. Burns, 1901.' This definitely settles a question that has long been in dispute and settles it In a way that will doubtless discourage the extensive raising of dogs In the future.
ONE POWDER MILL IS LEFT Explosive Still Muiuifacturcd in day County in luirge (Juantitives at Excellent I’lunt. Very few people are aware that the Fontanel mill which blew up two weeks ago is not the only plant in C'.ay county for the manufacture of powder. The mill at Fontanel was about two miles from the Clay county line and about nine miles from Brazil, but there is another big powder mill in -he very edge of Clay county, but it is about thirty miles from the city. This plant is owned by the United States Powder company and is located within less than a mile of Coalmen! in the southwest corner of Clay county. The plant turnes out 1,000 25-pound kegs of powder daily and employs about fifty skilled workmen. The company was organized about four years ago and the plant has been in operation since that time and has not had a serious accident. Bert Sarchett, of Brazil, Is the superintendent of the plant and lives within a short distance of the powder mills. The Jasonville Leader savs! of the Coalmont powder mill: There' ar3 more than twenty build- ^ \ 0 i ated on the tract of 160 acres wntcli the company own-s. The buildings are all painted black and the passer-by involuntarily considers the proper selection in color had been made for one gets the idea that the buildings are mourning in advance of what is liable to happen any day, and what beyond a doubt, will happen some day. The main building of the plant is the power-house, an up-to-date electric plant. Immense dynomos furnish power for the various powder making machinery in the different buildings. From the engine room the engine room steam is driven through pipes to the various buildings in order that the rooms in which the various process of powder- making are carried on may ha kept at tile proper temperature. While there is danger everywhere the workmen realize it and nothing is left undone to prevent accidents. A workman ‘-a being asked if he thought hi^ job a dangerous one replied that he did not consider it nearly so dangerous as working in a coal mine, and the wages paid ara about the same in the two lines of work. Within 100 yards of the mill there is a group of four or five houses, and Superintendent Sarchett resides in a houses on the company’s property, the front of which is used as the office of the company. This building is within thirty paces of one of the mills. Coalmont is but a short mile away, the town stretching out toward the powder mills, and midway between Coalmont and the mills there is a small settlement of houses surrounding a roadside store. It would perhaps not cause destruction at Coalmont should the thing let loose as there is not the supply of powder kept on hand as there was at Fontanet, yet most people would prefer to Itave two or three miles between them and a powder mill when it does explode.—Brazil Dmocrat.
LARGE EUROPEAN ORDERS
Six lluiKlred Thousand Bushels of Wheat to Go Abroad—Russia Will Not Sell.
The break in the prices of wheat today brought large European orders for immediate shipment. Six hundred thousand bushels of red winter wheat was sold here today for shipment east. Chicago bankers regard this movement as significant of the pow-erful aid which the west is bringing to the financial situation. They say that If the movement of the great staple continues to grow, the obligations to this country created abroad will be so large that it will be impossible for European banks to retain their gold even by fixing discount rates at the maximum.
VERSAILLES A SHOW PLACE
Hog Cholera. The greatest drawback to the hog I industry which breeders in this country have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and “swine plague.” Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry olf a great number of hogs in a very short time. Mr. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts Creek, Ind., tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. “Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, "i was in the employ of Mr. J. D. Riohardson, Lafayette, Ind.. as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Liniment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it O. K.” Write for Dr. Sloan’s free book on the treatment of Horses, Cattle, Hogs, and Poultry. Address: Dr. Earl S. Sloan, 615 Albert Street, Boston, Mass.
EDITOR ABROAD SEES THE STATE COACHES OF THE LAST LEWIS AND THE TWO X AIM ALIGNS—TOO GOOD FOR EVERY DAY USE—HARNESS HAS GOLD MOUNTINGS.
ESTATE COVERS 10 SQUARE MILES
One of Paris’s Strange Imlastriee Is Horse Butchering—Meat Consume«l in Large (Quantities in the City and Supurbs. Versalls, with its palaces and gardens and other trimmings of now exextinct French royalty, continue a "show’’ place. Our trip there was altogether a pleasure, even though the weather was wet and stormy until miday. We saw the Traiuon— every room is perfect in design and finish; the furniture, dating from Napoleon the First, is still in place; the pictures, and tapestries and frescoing; the statuary, bronzes, etc., are in evidence and the whole combined makes it indeed most beautiful—too good for every day use. Then we went to the royal coach house, and saw the state coaches of the last Louis and the two Napolions. They are Immense affairs, one of them weighing seven tons, and they are a blaze of gold leaf and heavy carvings, with trimmings of the choicest silks and tapestries, while the harness used with these vehicles are of morocco with gold mountings. Next we visited the Palace of Versailes—it is an immense building—the facade is over a quarter of a mile long. The front view is neither imposing nor beautiful, but viewed from the gordens in the rear it is really very pretty. To tramp through the myriad of rooms is a long task, but the pleasure amply pays for the time and fatigue. But little of the original furniture remains and the interest centers in the pictures, all of them historical, many of them by great painters, and all beautiful to the eye and held in high esteem by those who know the real good in art. The estate upon which the palace is located covers an area of ten miles square, and this vast expanse is laid out in gardens, enriched by artificial lakes, magnifleient fountains and statuary galore. A brief visit to Sirvc«, reneowned for its porcelain products which are reputed amongst the world’s most artistic productions in this line, proved very interesting. There is only one factory making this porcelain, but it is a large, and all the employees, except the unskilled labor, are said to be artists—people with a genius for design and ornamentation. One of the strange industries of Paris, I had heard of, but never fully believed, is the horse butchering business. While here I have devoted time to investigateing the 'matter. I made inquiries first, and learned that horse meat is consumed very largely in the city and its suberbs; I learned also, that the butchers who sold horse meat were required to hang or put up a sign in front of their places of business, this sign being a notice to the public that they sold horse meat. Then I made personal investigation; I went out on a trip of discovery and I soon found the shop with the horse’s head up as a sign, and I saw the horse meat on the hooks; I saw it cut and sold to various customers, and it sells at about the same price as other fresh meats. I don’t know that I have eaten horse meat, and I don’t know that I have not. The The meet shop I found was not far from our hotel; the French cooks have a knack of cooking and serving meats In such style and with such sauces and gravies that those who eat must do so on faith more than on facts. Next I tried to figure out how the French butcher could afford to kill horses with at the least 750 francs, equal to ?150 of Our money and sell the meat as cheap as beef, when the steer costs not more than $110. I gave it up and then sought knowledge of the facts. I learned that good horses were not slaughtered. The horses used for meat purposes are animals that by reason of age or injury are unfit for work— I do not mean by this that horses afllicted with diseases are butchered, because they are not. Every animal is inspected and passed upon by a government Inspector before it is slaughtered. France does not supply ttie entire demand for horses for meat; they are imported from Germany, Switzerland, Belgum and England, and the horse meat industry is a fixed fact and not a fad here. France is peculiar in more ways than one, and one of these peculiarities is that they have a sort of
internal protective tariff tax system that is a terror in its workings. It is called “Octroi,” and Octroi officers are stationed at every railroad station entering the town or city, and on ail the highways leading into the city, just at the city limits. The Octroi is a protective tariff tax, and the Octroi officers collect the tax from every person who enters the city, carrying with them anything to eat or anything to drink; all fuel, building material, and in fact almost every thing has to pay this Octroi tax before it can be brought from without to within the city.- I saw them collect Octroi of five cenimes from one cab driver because he carried with him from Paris to Serves a nose bag filled with feed for his horse—if he had carried two nose bags filled with feed the tariff tax collected would have' been ten centimes. At the same time I saw the Octroi officer collecting the Octroi tariff tax on a load of brick that were being hauled into the city, but the amount he paid I could not learn. The Octroi tax is not very strenuously enforced at the railway passenger stations; the examinations of baggage and parcels are of rare occurance; the Octroi officer simply asks if you have any thing with you that Octrio should paid on, and if you answer “nay,” he passes you by, but if he suspects your truthfullness look out for trouble. Our trip to Fontainebleau was not altogether a pleasure. It rained from the time we left the hotel to go to the railroad station until we returned again at night—twelve or fourteen hours of continuous rain. This prevented our seeing the beauties of the estate surroundin the Palace, but we had a very pleasant view of the inside of the Palace. It is the one remaining residence of royalty remaining furnished and ready for occupation by th next Emporer resulting from one of Frances constantly recurring revolutions. The magnificence of this palace, dating from Francis I, is wonderful beyond words. Gildings and frescoes, pictures and statuary, inlaid floors, silk, satin and tapestry wall decorations, and everything else in keeping therewith. Virlly, the cost of royalty for lodgings and furnishings was a terrific tax on the people, but these expenses were but a mite of the whole cost of a monarchy. F. A. A.
