$4,000 in cash given in prizes

We make proposition to the girls
and boys Of community of more than
ordinary Importance. All should be
stirred with unlimited interest.
$4,000 in cold cash to be given in
prizes to the children Of community.
Mothers and Fathers, read Mr.. Tapp's
liberal offer as follows:
Flies are the principal medium throgh
which the deadly contagious diseases
are spread over a city. The Tapp store,
first in everything, wants to enlist
every boy and girl in the city in
fy-killing contest. Here is the plan:
The boy or girl who brings to our store
the most dead flies between now and
closing time Monday night, Septem-
Der the 30th, will receive $500 in
cash. The child bringing in the second
largest amount will receive $500 in
cash. The next ten children who bring
the most dead flies will each receive
81 80.
The following rules govern the con-
test: The boys and girls who are to
compete for these liberal cash prizes
must come at once to the office in our
store and have their names and ad-
dresses registered. Then each day or
two the dead flies of each child must
be brought to the store to be measur-
ed and an accurate account will be
kept in the Office of the amount brought
in from time to time by each child.
On October first a disinterested bank
auditor will add up the list of each
child and the money will be paid over
to the hustlerS, in cash. We have 10
fly killers of any kind to sell. We do
not stipulate how the flies shall be kill
ed or who shall kill them. We may
save life with this money by the
means of this contest. In any case,

help rid our city of a dangerous curse.
We earnestly bespeak hearty coopera-
tion from the parents all over this city

Spirits for Rheumatism


 The use of spirits in the trea tmeni of rheumatism has proved an innova- ton among the medical profession When mixed with certain other ingre- dients and taken properly 1t is said to be an almost infallible cure for rheu- matism and back ache. Here Is the formula: From your druggist get one ounce of Toris compound Gin original Healed package) and one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla compound. Take these two ingredients home and put them Into half pint of good whiskey, Shake the bottle and take a table spoonful before each meal and at bed time" Results come immediately. If your druggist does not have Toris compound in stock he will get it in a few hours from his wholesale house. Don't be influenced to take some patent medicine instead of this Insist on having the genuine Toris compound in the original one ounce sealed yellow package.

her domestic duties alone. She wants
to do her share In problems of the POI
litical and business world. Mrs Mar
shall is said to have discussed IN de-
tail with her husband his actions on
the Baltimore convention, and when Il
was seen that Marshall was the man
who was going to 60 on the ticket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about IT,
1T won't be any harder than being
Governor of Indiana, and II the party
thinks you are the man It only agrees
with my opinion" she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs. Marshall had the honor Of be-
Ing the frst woman In indiana to hold
an Office. She was appointed county
clerk Of Steuben county by her father
and held that Office for number Of
years.
When Governor Marshall and his
wife were about to be married she de-
cided that her last official act Of the
office would be to make out the mar
riage license. Governor Marshall acr
companied his wife to the county
clerks office and watched her with
care as she noted the records in the
big book and filed out the license and
watched her as she carefully signed
her fathers name, with her own as
deputy.
Mrs. Marshall, having blotted the
ink, said, Now we can go"
Not yet laughed Governor Mar
shall.
why, we are all fixed" explained
Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the license.
Eyes, but have to pay for It," re-
piled the governor. Its all right for
you to make It out. but it's up to me
to pay the fee" And he did.
Mrs. Marshall Is a keen student,
and, having established the practice Of
going with her husband on all his
trips, be they short or long, they make
1t point to carry along some book.
Mrs. Marshall is as much of hu.
manitarian as the governor A glance
at some of the bills that have been
passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
TO curtail child labor.
10 regulate sale Of cold storage pros
ducts
TO require hygienic schoolhouses
and medical examination OF children.
TO prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale OF cocaine and 9TH
or drugs.
To provide free treatment for ny.
drophobia
To establish public Fairgrounds.
To improve pure food laws.
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons
TO prevent traffic in white slaves
To permit night schools.
TO require medical supplies as part
OF train equipment.
Governor Marshall has also played
an active part In providing for protec-
ton Of labor, as is exampled by the
following scts
To create bureau Of inspection
for workshops, factories, mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen-
cies.
To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch
engines.
To require ehicient headlights on
engines.
To require standard cabooses.
To provide weekly wage, etc.
And Governor Marshall has con-
suited with his partner" on all these
bills. He is quoted as saying a man
can't go far wrong In taking the ad-
vice Of wife-if she Is his partner as
well as his wife.
