FREE ALCOHOL FIGHT.

The Standard Oil interests in the
lSenate have opened their campaign
against the bill for untaxed denatur-
lied alcohol. The leader of the Stand
ard Oil forces Is Senator Aldrich,
lfather.in-law of John d. Rockefeller,
lJr., and sometimes called the boss"
of the Senate. Senator Aldrich is in
a position to seriously interfere with
the passage of the bill, as he is chair
man of the committee on finance, and
without doubt he will exert all his
influence to prevent the bill becoming
IA law, for II such law were enacted
his employer, the Standard Oil Com
pany, would be hard hit in it's weak
est point. Its great monopoly OF oil
for lighting and fuel, and gasoline for
!power engines, would be wiped out,
as denaturized alcohol when burned
! In lamp provided with mantle, is
not only much cheaper than oil but
ialso gives much better light AS
substitute for gasoline denaturized al
cohol has no peer. 1t Is not only
cheaper, but what is far more i'm
portant, its supply is practically un-
limited. as it can be manufactured
] from vegetables and grain, both OF
which are very abundant in this coun-
try 1t can be readily seen from this
the removal of the tax on denaturized
alcohol will mean much additional
money for the farmers, besides prov
ing boon to manufacturers. The
bill Is sure to be passed by the House,
and 1t will be up to the Senate to
prove whether 1t Is for the entire
country at large, or for special inter-
ests. as represented In this instance
by the Standard Oil Company. In the
House the chief exponent of the I'M
taxed alcohol bill is our own repre-
sentative, James Watson. 1t Is safe
to say Mr.. Watson will have the best
wishes for the success of his fight of
every farmer not only in the sixth
district. but also in the entire coun-
try.

ARE IN BAD CONDITION
Thawing Weather Has Played Havoc
With Roads In County-Traffic
in Places impeded.

The recent thawing weather and
the continuous rains of the past few
days have placed most the roads of
the county in a very bad condition.
Traffic on some highways has been
impeded and the rural mail carriers
go over their routes with difficulty.
Wayne county is not troubled with
heavy hauling as are the counties in
the oil fields, where the heavy en-
gines and derricks, loaded on wagons,
sink into the mud, hub deep and cut
the road almost beyond repair.

WATaoN's DEVELOPMENT.

Hardly day passes but some men
tion is made of Representative Wat
ison in the newspapers. Nor is this
newspaper mention confined to Indi-
ana alone, but extends all over the
country. Mr.. Watson is rapidly be-
coming national character. He is to-
day the acknowledged leader in the
House of two fights against two of
the largest and most powerful trusts
I'm the country. He is waging war
against the Standard Oil octopus with
the untaxed alcohol bill, and is after
the Tobacco trust with his anti-cigar-
cite measure. Mr.. Watson has won
his way to this position of national
prominence, by hard and unremitting
Tabor in the House during his ten or
twelve years service there. His rapid
rise is due to ability, not chance. for
many representatives, years his Sc
niors, are still filling unimportant no.
tsitions In congress, while he has gone
.over their heads by leaps and bounds.
lrhe men whom Mr.. Watson has over
topped are simply representing their
constituents, while he not only faith
fully and ably represents his constitu.
ients. but also is playing leading
part In measures OF prime importance
to the entire country. The great repu-
tation which Mr.. Watson is carving
for himself in congress. reflects great
credit on the voters of the sixth dis
trict, who have had the good sense to
reflect time and again a man so
preeminently qualified to represent
lthem In the House.

particularly in the pilot service. They
go out to meet the incoming ships; they
climb nimbly out Of their boats: they
show their official diploma, and they
steer the newcomer safely into the har-
Dor. 1t is the same in Finland.

FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
 Nature, But Health as We'll.

For people who are rundown and nerv- ous, who suffer from indigestion or dys- pepsia, headache, biliousness, or torpid liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in the morning and poor appetite, It be- comes necessary to turn to some tonic or strengthener which will assist Nature and help them to get on their feet and put the body into it's proper condition. It Is becoming more and more apparent that Natures most valuable health giving agents are to be found in forest plants and roots.
 Nearly forty years ago, Dr. R. Pierce, now consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, discovered that by scientifically extracting and combining certain medici- nal principles from native. roots, taken from our American forests, he could pro duce medicine which was marvelously efficient in curing cases of blood disorder and liver and stomach trouble as well as many other chronic, or lingering ail- ments. This concentrated extract of Natures vitality he named cGolden Med ical Discovery" It purifies the blood by healthy condition, thereby helping the digestion and assimilation of food which feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, or bil- iousness, and kindred Arrangements.
 If you have coated tongue, with bitter or bad taste in the morning, frequent headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches or pain in side, back gives out easily and aches, belching of gas, constipation, or irregular bowels, feel flashes of heat al- ternating with chilly sensations or kin dred symptoms. they point to derange- ment of your stomach, liver and kidneys, which the rGolden Medical Discovery will correct more speedily and perma- aently than any other known agent. Con tains no alcohol or habit forming drugs. All its ingredients printed in plain Eng fish on wrapper
 The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make little more profit. He gains: you lose. Accept no sub stitute for "Golden Medical Discovery"
 Constipation causes and aggravates many serious diseases. It is thoroughly cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One laxative: two or three are cathartic.
