Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

ain reply TO vbur letter write you
my experience, ind you are privileged
TO use il as va see fit. Last year,
after having M little girl treated by a
very prominenU physician for an obsti-
nate case OF eczema, / resorted to the
Cuticura Rem&iies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief Afforded that we discarded the
PHYSICIANS prescription and relied en-
tirely on the tuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, AMI Cuticura Pills. When
we commences with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feetNand limbs were covered
with runriing Sbres. In about six weeks
we had hAr dmpletely well, and there
has been 40 occurrence of the trouble.
ain JulyN& this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands. and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
CuticuraIl Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

RURAL REUTERS
ARE GRATEFUL
Republican Party has Brought
the System to Present
Perfection.
MATERIAL FOR CAMPAIGN
FACTS AND FIGURES BEING COM.
PILED BY STATE REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE SHOW REAL CON.
DITIONS.

Rural route patrons in Wayne Coun-
ty as well as in every other county in
Indiana, will soon receive literature
which will show that the system
which in Indiana is nearing perfection
has been brought about through the
Republican INDEPENDENTLY through
the efforts of the Indiana members ,of
Congress. Secretary Reddick of the
State Republican committee says:
ITS a wonderful story how Indiana
has been particularly favored with
rural free delivery. At the present
time there are in operation or about
to be started, in round numbers, $500
rural routes. These cover the high
ways in practically every one of the
ninety-two counties and give Indiana
complete State service.
I'VE maintain that rural free deliv-
cry stands among the many blessings
that have come to this country at the
hands of the Republican party in
Congress and in the executive depart
ments.
Grover Cleveland in one of his
messages to Congress opposed free de-
livery, declaring that the cost of in
stalling it generally would be SO large
that 1t ought not to be considered. In
striking contrast to this we have the
views of President Roosevelt, who
said:
Rural free delivery, taken in con.
nection with the telephone, the bicy.
Gle and the trolley accomplishes much
toward lessening the isolation of farm
life and making it brighter and more
attractive In the immediate past the
lack of just such facilities as these has
driven many of the more active and
restless young men and women from
the farm to the cities, for they REBEL,
ed at loneliness and lack of mental
companionship.
"Indianas good fortune" continued
Reddick, "in being specially favored
in the way of rural free delivery is
attributable to different facts. Our
delegation in Congress, including our
senator's, has been awake to the op
portunities and diligent in the interest
Of their constituents. We have a
large rural population of intelligent
citizens who themselves have encour
aged mail delivery, not only by efforts
to have it established but by a gener
Gus and appreciative patronage that
has made many of the routes almost
self-sustaining. Our population is
dense enough to warrant a complete
service in almost every part of the
State, and Indiana people have good
roads,"

The Tally stick.

An old time way of proving ones
right to the payment of money loaned
was by tally sticks. A plain stick was
used, and when q man loaned a sum a
stick was broken, and the creditor and
debtor each took part. When the
time for payment came the man who
had the stick which fitted exactly to
the stick held by the creditor received
the money. Two sticks never break
in exactly the same shape. so there
was never any dispute about who had
a right to the money.

GOOD FRUIT PROSPECTS
FROSTS NOT DAMAGING
Reports Made to w. 3. Flick, Secre-
tary Of Indiana Horticultural Society
are acknowledgement Jose Scale
Destroying Orchards.

Reports from all parts of the State
to w. B. Flick, secretary of the Indi-
ana Horticultural Society, for the
month of May show a fairly good
prospects for fruit of most kinds.
The May frosts did considerable
damage to fruit in small areas in eX-
posed places, but not enough to effect
the general average materially. Dry
weather, which prevails throughout
the State, is a menace especially to
small fruits, and If it continues will
lessen the yield much, it is said.
Trees and plants are generally in a
healthy condition, though insects and
diseases which could be controlled
readily are allowed to go on in their
work of destruction without any SER
ious attempt to fight them. This neg
lect is causing the loss of many or.
chards and plantations.
The San Jose scale, reports show
is destroying peach and other orchards
to some extent in southern Indiana
and the canker worm is at work in the
central part of the State. The former
can be destroyed by spraying with
lime, sulphur and salt solution, and
the latter with paris green and lime
solution.
The coddling moth, it is cautioned
will get in its most effective work in
June, July and August. They are de-
stroyed by paris green, lime and wat
er, or arsenate of lead and water. II
proper efforts be made by the fruit
growers to care for their growing fruit

enough fine fruit for her own consum
ption and have some to sell to other
States.

SIDNEY SLOANE ON
TRIAL TODAY FOR
MURDER OF FATHER

ably be insanity. DR.. j. w.
Owens, superintendent of the in
sane asylum at Blackfoot, Idaho,
is in the city and will likely be
subpoenaed later DR.. Givens has
been at the Blackfoot asylum 10
years and is familiar with insanity
in its many forms.
Theh crime for which young
Sloane is being tried was COM
mitted on the night of August q
at 513 Sixth av. The following
morning the body was found in
the alley between Fifth and Sixth
avs. The police arrested the boy
principally because of his lack of
sympathy for his dead father. That
same day at the police station Sid
ney confessed the crime to Chief
of Police Waller. He said he
struck his father a blow on the
head with an ak. After killing
him he took wheelbarrow from
neighboring house, loaded the
body into it and wheeled it to the
alley. He then went back to the
house and washed the bloody
porch with the hose. He covered
the bloody floor of the parlor In
which the crime was committed
with blankets after taking up the
blood-soaked rugs and hiding them
under the back porch.
The prosecution believes that
young Sloane committed the crime
to gain possession of $500 which
he believed his father had. When
arrested but $50 was found in Sid
ney's possession, and he admitted
he took this from his father after
he had killed him.
Many society people and those
prominent in the business world
have been subpoenaed by the de-
tense. Rev. Alfred Lockwood,
dean of All Saints cathedral, is
among them, as are also several
young women who have CORE
spondence from the boy written
during the past year.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon
the Attorney had not succeeded In
