Self-denial is the one thing most difficult to inculcate and always hard to pratice, especially when there are good things to eat within reach. But there is no self denial necessary if you take Sim mons Liver Regulator. It promotes di gestion, prevents Dyspepsia and a dose after a hearty meal of delicacies will prevent any discomfort. It s the best good-night toddy. A beet weighing 10 pounds was raised in A. Keek's garden in this place. The unusual weight of the beet is not the most interesting thing about it. It is its odd shape. It consists of one large beet and nine smaller ones all grown together, caused by the seed bunching together in the ground. Each beet shows separate and distinct roots which have for their , soil the larger beet. This oddity of ; nature is on exhibition at S. D. Martin's , store. George H. Story, of LaPorte, engineer of the Walkerton water works, was unanimously elected chairman of the LaPorte county democratic committee last Saturday, in place of W. A. Hosmer, resigned.

I Turnkey Van Lake, who had a narrow escape from being killed by desperate prisoners in the South Bend jail a few months ago, had another exciting experience the other evening. A number of prisoners made an effort to escape by hiding in a closet and when the transfer of two prisoners were being made they made a rush for freedom. The turnkey, however, remembered his former experience and acted promptly. He slammed the outer door shut and opened fire with his revolver. One of the shots took effect on a prisoner named Myers and brought him to the floor. He was not seriously wounded, the shot inflicting only a scalp wound. But it had the desired effect. The prisoners were cowed and the gang rushed back to thpir calls.

DON’TSTOP TOBACCO. How to Cure Yourself While Using it. . The tobacco habit grows on a man un til his nervous system is seriously affected, impairing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly is too severe a shock to the system, as tobacco to an inveterate user becomes a stimulant that his system continually craves. “BacoCuro” is a scientific cure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully compounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private practice since 1872, without a failure. It is purely vegetable and guaranteed perfectly harmless. You can use all the tobacco you want while taking “Baca-Curo.” It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent interest. “Baco-Curo” is not a substitute, but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid of will power and with no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure and free from nicotine as the day you took your first chew or smoke. Cured By Baco-Curo and Gained Thirty Pounds. From buti.lre.U of testimonials.
