A VOICE FROM nOOsrERDEM,
Patriotism and Prosperity, In which
the Highland County Boy Fig.
ures at the Fore.

The following interesting letter is from
Hardin Roads, formerly OF this city,
who is now President of the Merchants
| National Bank, at Muncie. His old
friends will be glad to hear from him:
Not having seen anything in. your
valued paper from the Indiana Gas Belt
for long time, 1 thought perhaps few
lines might interest some of our many
friends in old Highland.
You have all learned what part Indi.
ana played in the great struggle between
protection and free trade on last Tues.
day, in electing Republican Congress
man from every district in the State.
But, that is not all we have to boast OF
here at Muncie. Our county (Delaware)
has distinguished herself by being the
banner county in the State for protec.
ton, giving Republican majority of
thirty.three hundred, and our district
(the 6th) elects her Congressman, H. U.
johnson, by majority of more than
twelve thousand. How is that for
Hoosiers?
Of. w. Storer, former Highland
county boy, was elected surveyor OF this
great county OF Delaware by the above
named majority, again confirming the
oft.repeated assertion that the Highland
county boy always gets to the front.
But, now we want to say word about
the prosperity OF the Gas Belt. We still
have abundance OF gas, and, notwith.
standing the depression through which
we have been passing, we are enjoying
quite large amount of prosperity. Our
factories are all running, and think I
can say we have no idle people that
want to work.
Our town of Muncie has grown to be
very busy and handsome little city Of
twenty thousand people or more. o We
have very complete system of electric
street railway, making rapid transit and
frequent trips to all parts of the city.
We have recently completed several
miles of magnificent asphalt paved
streets. They are the one thing that We
are proud OF above everything else.
There are now more good residences
in process of construction in our city
than at any former time in its history.
But, for fear you should think I am a
little vain about the prosperity OF Nun.
Gle, / will close.
All the former Hillsboro and Highland
county boys in Muncie are well, and, as
far as we are able to judge, are prosper.
ing. Yours truly, fl. r.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the coutry than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catairh
to be constitutional disease and there
lore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,

TOMATOES AND SALT.
A "Jag" Cure That Rivals BlchlOrlle

simple jag cure than our Northern

L. e. Prentiss, at the Gibson yesterday.
at is merely one OF natures own rene.
dies-merely ripe tomato and salt. As
to its efficacy, can refer to dozen
people OF my own personal acquaintance.
The cure is fast becoming known all
over the country, and soon every man
will be his own jag physician. I don't
know where in the curative properties
ofa ripe tomato and q sprinkling of coarse
salt lie, but they have been too thor
oughly demonstrated to me to make me
sksptical. One case in particular know
of clinches my faith in the cure. In a
little town in southwestern Missouri
there lives man today named Jack
Morrisey who was one of the worst
sots ever had the misfortune to meet.
Morrisey owns small farm, and in
patch OF ground near his shanty raised
enough garden truck to supply his table.
To be truthful, Morrisey didn't raise
anything except hades, his wife and
daughters doing all the work. The
man had the jimjams IA times in one
year, and when he didn't have them all
his energies were bent on securing the
stuff to bring them on. This fall the
crops on the Morrisey farm were fail.
ure and with the exception OF the garden
vegetables there was absolutely nothing
about the place. Tomatoes, however,
werelplentiful. After weeks tomato
diet the family noticed that the head OF
the house had remained sober four days
out Of seven. Mrs. Morrisey was
woman Of quick perception, and Jack
was dosed with garden product. When
] saw him three weeks ago, he was a
changed man and he wasn't posing as a
horrible example in tomato jag school
either. He is attending strictly to bust.

debris that had been accumulating for
years. But, in earlier days, the water
used to rise and fall in these in regular
alterations. Hence the name, Sinking
Spring. The spring itself is remarkable
because of its abundant and never.fail-
ing supply OF pure, cold water. 1t sup
plies the village, and pipes from it con-
duct water to several manufactures.
Coming back we took glance at tho
old hotel, where Henry Clay, Thos. IL.
Benton, and other great characters OF
the past had stopped again and again,
as they followed the National stage road
on their way to Washington.
We could almost see again the great
stage coach looming up down the road
and hear the "hep!" OF the driver as he
held his skin. hand with proud, self.
important satisfaction no President ever
dared assume. See the nodding steeds
curving in toward the spreading porch /;
watch the obsequious landlord throwing
open the stage door, with many bland
inquiry fol the comfort Of his distin-
guished guests; look at the windows
See the ladies peeping from behind the
blinds see the loafers round the door !
Look into the ash barrel Feathers,
feathers, feathers and chicken heads !
See the busy housewife flying round.
Ah, human nature was the same then
as it is today
Then to the Octogan School House
Now, whether any other place ever had
such school house we really don't
know. Its erection dates back to that
vague time, when "the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary" 1t is
built of brick and it's rounding roof
rather suggests cyclorama than tenn.
pie Of rudimentary knowledge.
However queer it may seem, this oc.
tagonal structure has turned out some
splendid men. We have in our own
city such samples as Jos. Hiestand and
Milt McKeehan, who both sat among
the benches ranged around the wall,
and applied themselves to their studies
with fear and trembling, knowing that
the master, on his central throne, held
an OK CAD with which he could crack
any boy in the room without rising from
his seat. When devilment really did
leak out, Oh, what a glorious thing it
must have been to be ring master in
circus like that!
In the walls were iron rings to which
particularly obstreperous or stupid pup.
lis were fastened until their hearts soft.
ened, or their intellects frightened, as
the case might demand.
This house is so closely associated
with many precious memories that the
citizens keep it in repair, while more
modern and pretentious school house
has usurped its functions.
The old octagonal building is now
voting place, and the Kangaroo never
found snugger nest.
Sinking Spring bears an air of cheer.
full, general thrift. The citizens are
wide awake, intelligent and progressive.
There are improvements in the thor
oughfares, new buildings, and other evi.
dences of enterprise.

Apples for Food.

Speaking Of the apple for food, the
North American Practitioner says:
1t is composed of vegetable fibre, al.
bumen, sugar, gum chlorophyl, malic
acid, gallic acid, lime and water. Fur
thermore, the German analysts say that
the apple contains larger percentage
of phosphorus than any other fruit or
vegetable. The phosphorus is admir-
ably adapted fo- renewing the essential
nervous matter-lecithin-of the brain
and spinal cord. 1t is perhaps the rea-
son-though but rudely understood
that the old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food of the
gods, who when they felt themselves to
be growing feeble and infirm, resorted to
this fruit to renew their powers of mind
and body.
We read an article OF some authority
recently which held that dried apple ia
the best and healthiest kind of food;
but it should be carefully soaked before
cooking. Again, an apple should not
be eaten without first peeling it, either
cooked or raw. The peeling is un.
healthy and should be discarded.

merry man to the Delegate OF the Times
Star would prove interesting to the
householder if there are any peaches to
peel:
sIt is remarkable, that some OF the
simplest things be undiscovered for
generations. Now. for instance. almost
every housewife will scald tomatoes to
make the skin shrivel and come off
easily, but I'll warrant not one Of them
ina hundred does the same thing with
ripe peaches. Scald peach and the
skin will slip off like that OF tomato.
Moreover, the blush will be left on the
meat, the akin being clear. This meth
cd preserves the flavor, saves the juice
and makes the canned fruit have finer
appearance.
