£ljc Jndcpcndcnt. SATURDAY, JAN. 29, 1899. ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY WALKERTON, ... INDIANA W. A.Endley, - Editor and Publisher. ADVANCE. The armor plate from the battleship Maine is to be made into souvenirs. Do not blow your own trumpet: nor. which is the same thing, ask other people to blow it. No trumpeter ever rose to be a general. Edward Everett Hale. To say “the lagrippe" is equivalent to saying “the the grippe.” Lagrippe is a French word and the prefix “la” means “the.” This mistake, or superfluity, can be seen in print occasionally. Senator Nusbaum will introduce a bill in the Indiana legislature to regulate the prices charged by telegraph companies. The bill will provide that the charge for the first 10 words of a telegram shall be 15 cents, instead of 25 cents, and for each additional word onehalf cent. Newspapers are to be charged 10 cents for the first 10 words j and one-sixth of a cent for each additional word. Hon. James S. Dodge and Senator O. Z. Hubbell are members of the same law firm at Elkhart and both are credited with being candidates for the nomi nation for governor in 1900. When interviewed, however, Mr. Hubbell denied that he was a candidate and claims the report was started by a newspaper without authority. But Mr. Dodge makes no denialsand is generally regarded as a full-fledged candidate for the honor. The South Bend Times suggests that boys and young men should read reflectively and thoughtfully, of the difti cutties encountered and the obstacles overcome by Albert J. Beveridge in his boyhood days. Poor of purse, feeble in his physical make up, he never permitted himself to become a victim of des pair, but fought courageously to make his way to an honorable station in life. He presents in his person an object lesson that should prove helpful to young men struggling with adversity. The grip has been declared contagious, and the health board of Chicago gives out rules for protection against it. They say “the best pre* entives against this or any other contagion are clean hands, a clean mouth and clean food. Hands should be frequently washed especially before partaking of candy, fruit or any food held in the hands. During the epidemic every one should cleanse the mouth and gargle the throat night and morning with an antiseptic wash prescribed by a physician. Overwork and loss of sleep, which reduce the vital resistance, should be avoided. Sunlight and fresh air are the greM germ destroyers: a lack of them is most favorable to the spread of influenza. Sleeping rooms especially should be freely aired and exposed to the sun's rays during the day.
