Certificates of Health for Men Wishing to Marry. At Catlin, 111. certain women have formed a “mothers’ protective association” for the purpose of watching the eligible young men of the town and recording their practices and expolits in as far as they bear on matrimonyThe“ card index”plan thus applied 1 may be carried to absurd lenghts and made utterly rediculous. But we hope atCatlin will provide food for the sober thinking rather : than for comic journalism and car- : icature. There is much in their 1 scheme; moderation and reason in the application of the principal ] would cause many communities to follow Catlin. Parents are far to careless with , regard to the lives and habits.of - the young men who court their , daughters. They take the/matter of “wild oats” too lightly. They do not sufficiently protect the health, peace and happiness of innocent girls. They would reject young 1 men for gambling, for immoderate drinking, for laziness and shiftlessness, but they too often remain ignorant of or blind to more serious defects and disqualifications. Why should not suitors of pure and innocent girls satisfy their parents that they have led clean lives and are sound in body and mind? Some day every state will require certificates of health from men wishing to marry; some states already require such certificates. The condition is absolutely reasonable; it is essential to public health and morals. But pending legislation parents can do much to protect their daughters from misery and bitter dissapointment. It is their duty and right to offer such protection. The Catlin plan is bold, but it is a manifestation of a vital and great movement that is nation wide, the movement known as that of social hygene. The time has come to face ugly facts and deal with our evils and abuses in a new way—the way of science and rational morality— Chicago Record Herald. Corn Improvement Train. There will be a corn improvement train at Syracuse, April 2nd. from 3:05 to 3:45 p. m. at the B & 0 depot. The farmers of this community are urged to come to hear this lecture on corn improvement. Special attention will be given to methods of fertilization and treating the soil. If you are interested in how to plan a rotation of crops; how to fertilize the soil: how to select and test seed corn; how to control corn smut and how to “tend” the corn crop, arrange to meet this train and hear the lecture. The train is equipped and operated by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, while the lectures demonstration materials and literature are furnished by the Purdue University experiment station. Kline-Strieby, Mr. Eston S. Kline, son of Nat Kline of North Webster, and Miss Blanche 0. Strieby of Syracuse, were quietly married at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Anna Strieby, Saturday evening March 23, in the presence of a few nearest relatives, by Rev. C. A. Wright. Miss Strieby is a young lady of unusual ability and has been a successful teacher in one of the township school for several years and has many staunch friends. We are not acquainted with the groom but trust he is worthy of the prize he has won. They will be at their home three miles south of Syracuse after April 15th. Attention Frfrmers and Feeders!

HENS FROM ALL OVERIHE STATE Caleb Story, 84, is dead at Wabash, after having fasted for 39 days. When his appetite left him he ab- , stained from food entirely, taking only water. Operating on James Powell at Lawrenceburg, physicians found the appendix nearly eleven inches long and three grains of corn in it had begun to sprout. The clerk at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago did not know Gov. Marshall when he registered: “Thos. R. and Mrs. Marshall, Indpls.” and the executive having no baggage he was cross questioned with the result that he went to another hotel. . Freight traffic on the Big Four is badly congested at Wabash. A visit from an inspector of the interstate commerce commission caused the tieup, many engines having been put out of commission for the reason they were deemed unsafe for use. Elkhart’s Christain Scientists are planning the erection of a new church home.

But f-r the prompt help given het by William Jones, she would not be alive today. The Winona Interurban people experienced some little difficulty with a washout on their line between Baintertown and College south of Goshen on Tuesday.

The track was temporarily propped up and cars were able to run without any danger, Ligonier is about to get a firstclass hospital through the generosity of the heirs of tne late Sol Mier, a banker and long resident of that city. The property in question is the old home residence of the Mier family, situated on the hill overlooking the city The lot consists of at least one-half acre with a residence that cost Mr. Mies $20,000, with every modern improvement and convenience and with rooms and fittings to accommodate at least twenty patients. With his hands so badly that the flesh was literally" cooked, Bayless Lower, a Pennsylvania railroad engineer, climbed over the tender of his engine and stopped hi* runaway train by cutting the air hose connecting the engine with the first car. The accident occurred just west of the Winona statloh on Tuesday evening of last week. - Engineer Lower’s act was one of the most heroic ever recorded in the railroad history of this section. The accident due totthe breaking of a steam pipe leading direct from the boiler to the cab. The, cab was instantly
