Book Mites.

If books or papers are kept too long
in a closed. dark bookcase, they will
have book mites in them. When this
is noticed the books should be taken
out, laid in the sun and cleaned. Wash
the shelves and saturate every corner
with oil of cedar, which will drive
them away. 1t is necessary TO get rid
of these mites, for often they get into
furniture and have destroyed many
valuable pictures. Put a teaspoonful
of the oil in a basin of water, wiring a
cloth out of ii and wipe the backs and
edges of the books. Be careful to look
through the binding at the back Of
the books, for this is where they are
mostly found.

A Certain Cure for Group Used for
Ten Years Without a Failure.

Mr.. W. G.. Bot, Star City, Ind,
hardware merchant is enthusiastic in his
praise OF Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy.
His children have all been subject to the
Group and he has used this remedy for
the past ten years, and though they
much feared the Group, his wife has al
ways felt safe upon retiring when bot
tie Of Chamberlain Cough Remedy was
in the house. His oldest child was sub
iect to severe attacks OF Group, but this
remedy never failed to effect a speedy
cure. He has recommended it to friends
and neighbors, and all who have used it
say it is unequalled for Group and whoop-
ing cough. Sold by Longwell Bros. m

with his father, consequently he had
heard Mr.. Jones several times, and felt
pretty we'll acquainted with him.
Well, they met again for the some

after Mr.. Jones' lecture. The boy

and presently remarked

NOW IS BEST
TIME TO TAKE
A Noted Authority Gives Direc.
lions to Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Remedy.


A well-known authority on rheuma-
tism gives the readers of a large New
York daily paper the following valuable
yet simple and harmless prescription,
which anyone can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid extract dandelion, one.half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
compound syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and take
a teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any prescription pharma-
cy at small cost, and, being Of vegetable
extraction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, il taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case OF rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminish with
each dose, until permanent results are
obtained and without injuring the stom-
ach. While there are many so-called
rheumatism remedies, patent medicines,
etc, some Of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results, and the
above will, no doubt, be greatly appre
cis ted by many sufferers here at this
time.
Inquiry at the drug stores OF this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for oul
readers if asked to.

Shape of the Earth.

Children used To be taught to say:

This is altogether too inexact to suit

as approximately correct Primary
teachers please copy: The litho-

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who
had decidedly advanced views about
heredity, was once called TO treat a
mentalally afflicted child. After he
had examined the patient he said
a consultation should have been held

On motion of Supervisor Hale the
county treasurer was allowed 50 for
making out the report of rejected and
charged back taxes.
The hour having arrived for the cleo
ton of a member Of the board OF
superintendent of the poor, DR. Elgas
was placed in nomination by Supervisor
Nc Alpine There being no other nomi-
nation he was unanimously elected on
motion of Supervisor Hale.
The county drain commissioner sub
mitted his annual report, after which he
spoke to the board relative to the Paw
Paw river drain, over which there has
been controversy and considerable lit
igation for the past four years. He SAID
in part that the drain was not started
by him; that it was first laid out and
surveyed by his predecessor, Mr.. Hath
away; that only two or three of the orig
inal petitioners for the drain were DOW
in favor Of completing the same; and
that he did not want to impose a burden
upon the property owners along the
Paw Paw river and its tributaries by
placing heavy tax on their property
with practically no benefits. He said
that majority of the property owners
were in favor of cleaning out the river,
Strengthening some parts of it and cut
ting out some bars, and, in his opinion,
better results would be obtained by do
ing this than by digging the drain as
originally surveyed with but a fraction
OF the cost. He stated frankly that un-
der the circumstances he was siren
rously opposed to the completion OF
the drain, and appealed to the board to
consider the matter of paying the ex-
penses of the same to date about $4,000
and disseminating the digging of the
drain as originally surveyed. He read
statement signed by the board of drain
assessors bearing out fully what he had
said in the matter and containing the
same appeal that the commissioner had
made In regard to disseminating the
drain. &. w. Young, E. A. Chase and
Samuel Griffin, a committee from the
board of assessors, were present, and
each spoke relative to the matter. They
said they were prompted in their action
by the appeals OF nearly all the citizens
owning property along the proposed
drain. Mr.. Chase estimated the cost of
the drain at $4,000 and said there we're
1900 acres that would have to be assess
ed at S15 per acre. The report of the
commissioner and board of assessors
could leave no doubt in the minds of
the board as to their attitude in the
matter. On motion of Supervisor Bene-
dict, the following committee was APP
pointed to investigate the question and
report to the board: Supervisors Bene-
dict, Pearman and j. G. Warner.
THURSDAY.
The committee appointed to iuvesti
gate the Paw Paw river drain matter
offered resolution which in substance
states that the drain commissioner shall
not let the contract for said drain until
petition signed by a majority of the
land owners through whose land said
drain shall pass be filed with him, and
that all work on said drain shall cease
until such petition be filed The reso
luton was adopted.
Several reports we're received in the
forenoon, after which the board adjourn
ed to make the customary visit to the
county farm.
