80 Cents Cures rheumatism
Fort Wayne Man Has a Wonderful
Case Of Recovery.
III. A. Alter, After Suffering For Six
teen Years with Rheumatism, Is
Cured by a Few Doses of q
Simple Prescription.

(From the FIT. Wayne Journal-Gazette)
Mr.. Henry A. Alter, the well-known
contracting painter, met the writer and
told him a most interesting story of
sixteen years experience with rheu-
matism. and how he finally found
cure in a sinYe, inexpensive remedy.
Believing that it Will be of value to
many of our readers, we obtained the
prescription, which we kladly publish
with Mr. Alters interesting expert
ence.
In the winter of 1893, Mr. Alter was
taken with inffammatory rheumatism
and confined to his home 1906 Summit
street, three months with this most
painful OF all diseases. With the COM
ing of spring, he recovered sufficiently
to attend to his business, but each fol-
lowing winter for fifteen years, he was
again confined to his bed for from two
to four months. Doctors and patent
medicines all proved worthless. Every
remedy recommended by anxious
friends and relatives was tried until he
was so discouraged over the hopeless
struggle that he was on the verge of
resigning himself to his fate. Early
| in the winter of 1907-s, his sixteenth
attack started with evidence of being
more severe than ever.
| About this time he heard of a simple
home prescription. Sending to a near
by druggist he was astonished to find
that it could be filled for about eighty
cents. He was still more agreeably
astonished to find himself improving
fro malmost the first does. 1t few
days he was able to be out attending
business, and now, two months later,
believes himself completely cured.
Knowing Mr.. Alter personally and
having heard from his own lips the &C
count of his marvellous cure, we in
vestigated, and, after finding that the
prescription could be filled by any
druggist, decided to publish it. 1t Is
as follows: Y OF. Fluid Extract Cas-
cara i OF. Concentrated Bagkola Com
pound and OF. Aromatic Elixir. To
be taken in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and on retiring.

BANK MAKES A
STRATEGIC MOVE.
Commercial Bank of Crown
Point Will Get Street
Bonds Now.
FINANCIAL ANGLE REVEALED
Crown Point Financial Institutions
Have Controversy Over the
Bond Issue.

Crown Point, Ind, April 25.-(Spe-
cial.) -One of the most interesting
stories of finance that has developed
in some time in county seat banking
circles became public last night and
business men are much interested in
the outcome.
The story goes that by a strategic
bit of business acumen stimulated by
a desire to see the street improvements
going in, the officials of the CONNER
cial bank will obtain the bonds for the
Improvement of Joliet, South Main and
South Court streets. The price Of
fered by President John B. Peterson
and Attorney H. B. Barr was Az per
cent The officials of the Commercial
bank admit that they bid this amount
but say that the bonds are not yet
in their possession. When they do, it
will mean the early completion of the
street named by the contractor. There
is a good deal of public spiritedness
displayed in the banks efforts to get
the bonds and see the work started.
Incidentally there is another inter
esting chapter in the story. certain
Crown Point bank is said to have had
the bonds in it's keeping but were Con
dCCOuUL Va the present uudHCIdl COH-
dition) unwilling to take them at less
than per cent and an effort was made
by the bank to induce the property
holders adjoining said Improvement to
guarantee the extra TX per cent, thus
making the bonds 6 per cent. The
transaction by the Commercial bank
is considered neat stroke of bust
ness foresight and is causing much
comment on our streets today. as the
bid for the bonds is not only considered
| good investment at 4 u per cent, but
the banks bid for popularity their
| faith in the real estate values in
Crown Point and the saving to the
property holders, is matter of much
| Importance.

BREWING co. LIABLE
Crown Point Mandatory
May be Amenable to
Law.

Crown Point, Ind, April 25.-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-The Crown Point brewery is
liable to have its hands full of trouble
on account of the action of Attorney
General Bingham at Indianapolis, who
will file suits against more than twenty
breweries in the state, charging them
with operating saloons. transacting a
retail liquor business and controlling
the saloon business generally. The
state will contend that conducting a
retail business by breweries is Illegal.
Injunctions restraining the breweries
from violating the law further and the
appointment of receivers, PRACTICALLY
means the humiliation of the breweries
if the actions are successful. It is said
that about $500 saloons will be af-
fected directly and be put out Of bust

MICHIGAN CITYS
REVENUE SCHEME
Controllers Report of Once
Discredited Town Arouses
Interest in Hammond.
We MIGHT Do LIKEWISE
So Say Those Who Have Noted Ii.
censes Required From Citi-
zens Living There.

There was received at the city hall
recently the annual report of the con-
troller of Michigan City and some Of
the statistics in it have given rise to
considerable discussion among members
of the local city administration, who
have had occasion to see 1t.
The feature receiving most discussion
in Hammond is that of tax revenue
sources which have been established
in Michigan City but of which Ham
mond knows nothing. Within the past
few years the administration of Mich
igan City has come to be looked upon
as a business administration, and the
city which, a few years ago had no
credit, is in good standing all over the
commercial world.
The secret of this is pointed out in
the fact that the present administra-
ton in order to raise money to carry
on the city's business and give it the
necessary improvements, began requir-
ing license for almost every thing that
existed or was operated in the city, by
virtue of being able to exist or being
operated because of the city.
The license fee in each case was made
small enough, so as not to be a burden
for the taxpayer, and yet because of
the many licenses required the sum that
was netted to the city was considerable.
Thus, for instance, each bicycle
owner is taxed small sum, yet the
total from the bicycle licenses in the
last year amounted to $745.
A vehicle license which already is
strongly agitated in Hammond, netted
Michigan City in the past year $2,155.95.
The secondhand and junk dealers Ii
censes Melted the city 1923.
These three instances are pointed out
in particular in Hammond as sources
of revenue which are reasonable.
That a vehicle license will be passed
sooner or later in Hammond seems al
most certain at the proper time.
Whether it is justiaable is a debatable
question, but those who are satisfied
that a vehicle tax is just argue that
by the same token a bicycle tax is just
since the city's ordinances give to the
bicyclist the same privileges that a
teamster enjoys and that therefore he
i should be licensed.

FIRST FORK.

The lower house of Ed. Caldwell took
fire about ten o'clock a. N. last Thursday
and soon burned to the ground, with the
contents of the upper story. Two gangs
of section men working near by helped
to save everything in the lower story.
The fire originated in the attic and there
being no water handy, it was impossible
to extinguish it. His mother, Mrs. Arch
Caldwell, was very sick in the house at
time and she was carried up to M. j.
Logues where she is very low and not
expected to live. There was now insur-
surance.
The Gilmore school stared up on labor
day with Miss Isabelle Lewis of Weed
vile, as teacher. Grove township schools
are all in operation now.
The telephone line men have been put
ting up the wire here on the farmers
telephone line from Lorshbrug h to Whar-
ton, the past week and now we expect to
soon be in communication with the out
side world.
Owing to the drouth the late potatoes
here will be no better than the early
ones. The dry weather has also damaged
the late buckwheat some.
Forest fires are raging in different
sections and all efforts at fighting the fire
have so far proved futile.

mahoning one day last week taking some
