The Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally car
ried forty-four guns. A particular
ly interesting history is connected
with this ship. During the war
with the Barbary powers in 1903
she was Commodore Preble's flag
ship in the Mediterranean and
played conspicuous part during
the whole war. Lieutenant Wads-
worth, who was blown up before
Tripoi in the i'll fated Intrepid,
was one of the officers of the Con-
stitution. In the course of the war
with England in 1912 the English
papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke of her as "a bundle of
pine boards sailing under a bit of
striped bunting" But when under
Captain Hull she captured the
English frigate Guerriere, vessel
of nearly equal force, the people
who had before ridiculed her called
her lone of the stanchest vessels
afoat." A few months after this
victory the Constitution, then COM
manded by Captain Bainbridge,
compelled one OF the finest frigates
in the British navy, the Java, to
strike its colors.

ART SHOW TO Be
At HOOSIER FAIR
Annual Indiana Exposition Of.
ferS Many Attractions For
Women Visitors.

Women visitors to the Indiana State
FAIR will see in the art department an
exposition of craftsmanship of many
Kinds that has been made entirely by
Hoosler women. Under new plans of
the fair management no exhibits
made by other than Indiana women
can be shown, and any woman who is
skilled in nsedlework, with brush or
camera, can compete for the prizes.
In the fine art division there are
eleven departments, each of which
Will overflow with the clever work of
Indiana women-crochet and knitted
work, hand made lace and embroid-
cry, hand sewing, fancy work, photog-
raphy, craftsmanship in wood, leather
and brass, paintings and drawings.
One Of the great features of the art
department will be the lavish display
OF CHINA painting, showing in what
directions the up-to-date artists of In
diana are turning their talent this
year, with all that is new in designs
and colorings
The pure foods, flowers, poultry.

and labor-saving machinery will make

New County Displays.
The first evidence the public will
have of what the county farm agents
OF Indiana have been doing since they
began work about two years ago will
be at the coming State Fair, which
opens Sept. 6, when the agents from
most of the counties will put on ex-
hibits of their farm products in the
largest open pavilion on the fair
grounds. The Studebaker pavilion.
near the Fine Arts and Horticulture
halls, will be entirely occupied bv
these county displays, and from the
demands for space from the county
agents the place will hardly be large
enough for their exhibits.
This promises to be the greatest ex-
position of Indiana farm resources
ever held, and it will be in addition to
the regular displays shown in the Ag-
ricultural building. The county agents
have along many lines helped Indiana
farms to a higher standard of cult
walton, and they will bring together
at the coming Fair the evidence of
the advanced work the Hoosier farm
ers are now doing

LABOR DAY AT INDIANA FAIR

Labor Day, Sept. 6, is going to be

Eutterr,iik a Life Saver.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for lone
life. He SAYS that the Tactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthly depos-
it in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries so supple and free
running that there cSn be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de-
post Of chalky matter around the
joints or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. 1t is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter

twenty years if freely drunk. 4

mum, the maximum according te
taste and opportunity.
