Thirty two members of the family gathered around the table spread with the finished product of “domestic science” for which the ladies of the family’ are famed and did ample justice to said product, after which the afternoon was spent in games and music which made the old house ring as it had not done since the time when “the boys were all at home”.

WEIbHT INCREASED TO FIFTY POUNDS After January First You May Send Heavier Parcels « Beginning Thursday of this week, the parcel post limit will be increased from 11 pounds to 50 pounds, the same measurements being in force as before. This new regulation will probably sound the knell of the motor cycle for use by rural. carriers. The parcel post business has steadily increased in volume since the date of its inception and indications point to still larger use of thi§ privelege. After March lst,it will be allowable to send printed matter by parcel post. This will mean an enormous saving to the mail-order houses. Heretofore it has cost them from 25 to 50 cents to mail one catalogue, but f>v parcel post they can mail them for about five centsIn many parts of the state rural carriers have resigned, assenting that the salary was too small to keep up the transportation expenceswhich have been getting larger since the advent of parcel post.

Farm Home Burned The home of Tom Smith, a prominent farmer south of Webster, burned Sunday afternoon/The fami ly was entertaining company and knew nothing of the fire until warned by the neighbors.

Hoopingarner attended the Democratic District convention held at South Bend, Monday, to name a chairman sos the 13th district. It is thought that several candidates would be in the running, but the winnowing was all carefully done before the hosts assembled and the Hon. Daniel Bechtel of Goshen, was chosen without opposition. Peter Kruyer, who has just been named cs one of the internal revenue collectors for Indiana, had been chairman for the last two years. The conventioa was well attended., Senator B. F. Shively acted as chairman and made one of his characteristic talks. Congressman Barnhart too was present and made an address. The office of district chairman is full of possibilities, politically, and the character of the man chosen, very often presages the quality and the character of the campaigh which he is given to direct. This year of grace wherein Democracy is in the ascendency, the chairman of the. district will have some voice in the distribution of political favors among the brethren. The honorable Daniel has the necessary personal qualities to hand out the lemons as well as the plums without the recipient gqing away with a knife concealed inJus boot-leg; that he will Aeed all hisffineaccomplishments, need hot be asserted.

MACON, 61, CHILO Made Strong and Well by VinoL When we teU you that Vinol is the best remedy in our whole stock for making weak, puny, ailing children strong, robust and rosy we are only telling you what has been proved by hundreds of mothers. J. L. Fickling, Macon,Ga.,’’'says: “My child was very thin and delicate, no appetite, nervous, and did not sleep well. Doctors did not help her. Vinol was recommended. Zand the change after a fair trial was wonderful. She sleeps soundly all night, has a splendid appetite and has gained in weight. I wish every mother knew what Vinol will do for delicate children.” What Vinol did for this little girl it will do for every weak and ailing child because sickly children need the strengthening cod liver .elements and the tonic iron that Vinol contains—that is why Vinol builds them up quickly and gives them a fine, healthy color. It is pleasant tp take and we guarantee that the results will satisfy you—money badkflf they do not .Quality. Drug Stoye, ‘Syracuse

Keep The Babies’ Feet Warm And Their Heads Cool —An important point in guarding babies from colds and their bad effects is to see that their little legs and feet, their wrists and hands, are kept warm, and their heads cool. Repeated colds and persistent attacks of “snuffles” may start adenoids even in the first x>r second years of childhood. For coughs, colds, croup, and stuffy, wheezy breathing that keeps the children wakeful and feverish, give Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound promptly. It will help from the start, contains no opiates and is mildly laxative. Is excellent for whooping cough. F. L. Hoch. Journal Want Ads. give results.
