SECRET INK.
Writing Which May Be Made Invisible

Writing Which May Be Made Invisible
or Visible at Will.
There are several ways in which two
persons can correspond with each 9TH
er unknown to even the people before
whose eyes the very letter is held. Ovid
taught young women when writing to
their lovers they should use new milk
as ink. This when dried is invisible.
but by scattering coal dust or SCOT upon
the paper the writing becomes legible.
Ansonius adopted this method when
writing to Paulinus.
Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice,
solutions of nitrate and chloride of
cobalt or of chloride of copper write
colorless. but on being heated the char
acters written with the first two be
come black or brown and the latter
green. When the paper becomes cool
the writing disappears and leaves the
paper blank again. Saltpeter dissolved
in water and equal parts of sulphate of
copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in
water are two good invisible inks.
There are also some inks which are
invisible when dry, but visible when
moistened with another liquid. Thus
a solution of muriate of antimony
washed with tincture of gals becomes
yellow, green vitriol ink washed with
the same solution turns black, nitrate
of cobalt washed with oxalic acid turns
blue. arsenate Of potash with nitrate
of copper green. solution of gold with
muriate of tin purple

SOUTH BEND, Ind, July 12.-Judge
Frank E. Gavin of indianapolis, for
fifteen years treasurer of the Indiana
Bar Association, was yesterday elect
ed president of the association. I'm
der ordinary circumstances the office
would have gone to J. w. Hanna of
Lagrange, who, during the last year,
has been vice president. The latter,
however, refused to stand as a candi-

Other officers elected were as fol

of Richmond; secretary, George H.
Bachelor of Indianapolis; treasurer,
Capt. E. D. Salisbury of Indianapolis.
The final act of the business ses-
sion was to select Indianapolis as the
1913 convention city.
Resolutions were introduced and
passed empowering the president to
appoint special committees to investi-
gate the advisability of providing for
legislation restraining corporations
from issuing watered stock in Indiana
and for requiring judges to be voted
for without party designation on the
ballot, both of which were recommen-

Hot Weather Is Quick
To Affect the Bowels
WelI-knoWn Fact That Extreme
Heat Conduces to Chronic
Constipation.

The disposition to eat cold food and
indulge in iced drinks is one reason
why constipation and diarrheoa is so
prevalent in summer, and there is no
time when people should more care
fully avoid bowel disturbances, as
much serious disease is directly trace
able to these conditions. We need all
, our strength to withstand the enervat-
ing effect of heat.
To regulate the bowels and quickly
relieve even the most aggravated case
of constipation, the combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
known as Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
is highly recommended by all who
have ever used it. Unlike cathartics
and violent purgatives, Dr. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin acts gently on the stom-
,ach, liver and bowels, without gripping
or other discomfort, bringing relief in
an easy, natural manner. 1t can be
used with perfect safety by the most
delicate woman or child, and yet is
equally effective for the strongest con-
stitution. Mild. pleasant 10 take, and
inexpensive, 1t is the ideal family laXa-
tive. BY cleansing the bowel tract thor
oughly and eliminating the foreign
matter and poisons that irritate and in
flame, it will quickly check summer
diarrhoea and restore normal condi-
tons

Annual Sermon Thrills Great Throns.
The annual sermon to the convention
Is always looked forward to with I'M

fact that on this occasion 1t was to be
preached by the Rev. William Maui
rice Moss, successor Of the late DR..
William T. Dixon in the pastorate Of
the Concord Baptist church In Brook
Ign, was reason for special interest.
It was DR.. Moss first appearance on
the program Of the convention.
His subject was "Our Indebtedness"
The words Of the text were taken from
Romans l. IA, from which DR.. Moss de-
Hvered a mastery sermon filed with
thought and spiritual inspiration. His
theme was II Am Debtor" With this
thought in mind he drew tears from
the eyes Of the vast audience Of up
ward Of LOO as he told of the suffer
ings of Christ for mans redemption
and the triumphs of Christianity over
heather customs and creeds.
The next feature Of the program for
the first day was the annual election
Of officers. Owing to the lateness Of
the hour a motion was made to post
