A Great Chance
Enters Into Life
Of StOrekeeper

A certain unassuming gentleman in
this city who happens to be promi-
nent dealer in furniture and who up
to a few weeks ago had become a
recluse because of his physical condi-
ton tells this remarkable and most
interesting tale:
For number of years" he said,
Il have been SO closely confined to
my business working zealously to
make my store representative in every
respect that wear and tear finally got
me. my face became drawn and bag
gard and my disposition seemed to
urge people to evade me. 1t was then
that | began to despise my own COM
pany. My bookkeeper who has been
with me for long time one day sug-
gested that I needed a rest and that
my nerves required attention. She told
me that her father had been in the
state of health which l was experience
ing and that he had taken Phosphated
Iron. Look at him now she said
He works ten hours day and ap-
pears to be the happiest man in the
world, which he believes he is,' he
says
All this happened less than a
month ago followed the advice and
look at me now. Back In the harness
with smile all the while. When
See tired looking face the name of
Phosphated Iron Immediately comes
in my mind. am convinced that it
Is converting many worn out body

Died Of Premature Old Age!

How many times we hear of compara-
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 70 or 80 years
of age This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes Standardization.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty Of pure
water all day long, and occasionally taxi
ing a little Anuric double strength)
before meals. This can be obtained at
almost any drug store. You will find
Anuric more potent than hthia for it dis
solves uric acid almost as water does sugar.

Only 5000 Persons But They
Take Quarter of a Million
Dollars.

LIBERTY, Ind, Nov. Wv. P. Ken
nedy, cashier of the Citizens bank,
said Thursday that although there
were only 5000 people in Union coun-
ty, a quarter of million dollars had
been subscribed for the second issue
of the Liberty Loan bonds.
This, he said he believed, was the
largest pro rata of any county in In
dividual, and the banks got only lit
diana. The allotment was $4,000.
The subscriptions were nearly all in
tie of it. The Boy Scouts helped along
the movement.
Mccoy and Sen said Thursday that
they had bought more wheat in three
months in this county than in year
previously. At the present moment
the firm is receiving 1900 bushels OF
wheat a day from the farmers. About
$4,000 bushels have been received and
used principally in their milling bust
ness. The prospect for corn is good
and a general average of 90 bushels
per acre is predicted.

deputy food controller for Union coun-

COOKING DONE
MUCH EASIER
FireIess Cooker Saves Time
and Costs Little When
Made at Home
HAVE YOU CHE l.! YOUR . ..9J5L?
The Directions Here Given Are Easily
Followed, Since Only Few Pur-
chased Articles Are Needed to Help
You Make Fircless Cooker at Home.

"Will 1t burn me?" asked the child
when called upon to move fireless
cooker. The very idea Of a cooker
implied heat to the Childs mind.
1t takes heat to cook in the fireless
cooker, but the principle of cooking is
a little different from that of cooking
on top of the stove. Many years ago
people heated stones and dropped
them into bag or kettle containing
food, the hot stones cooking the food.
Sometimes an iron pot, with cover
was placed in a hole dug in the
ground and covered with grass and
leaves This kept the heat in the food
and cooked it.
Food that is cooked in a fireless
cooker is heated to a boiling point and
sometimes cooked for a few minutes,
but at all events it is thoroly heated,
then placed in the cooker which is so
constructed as to keep all of this heat
confined in the utensil containing the
food. The heat retained in the cook
er for long time thoroly cooks the
food.
Material needed for making cook
er: box, bucket or can; one piece of
zinc of tin; asbestos paper; material
for filling; metal can with cover;
stone for heating; cooking utensils;
button hook; flour and water; paste;
hinges and fasteners.
An old trunk, dry goods box, a
candy bucket or lard can, may be
used to make freless cooker. A
wooden box for a homemade cooker
is preferable to metal one, because 1t
keeps the heat in better than metal
does, and If painted nicely will be
kept clean easily The size of the box
will depend upon how much cooking is
to be done in the cooker, but for
family of six, box 80 inches long, 10
inches wide and IA inches deep will be
ample, and, il this cannot be had, a
candy bucket will be great help, or
two can be made If necessary. The
square box is preferable, however, as
the cover is more easily made. The
above measurements are inside ones.

COAL TO DROP so CENTS.
April 16 Given as Date for the Usual
Spring Reduction.

That a spring reduction in the retail
price Of coal is imminent is admitted
today by one Of the leading coal firms
OF Washington. The date expected to
witness this reduction Is given as
April 16. and the reduction is esti-
mated at so cents a ton.
The date has been rumored as April
2. but. as published recently in The
star. local dealers had no information
tending to establish this fact.
Retail prices in Philadelphia are an
nounced as dropping IS cents today
Fifty cents Of this decrease is due to
the usual April reduction by whole
salers announced some days ago by
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company, with the other 25 cents
coming from a decrease in freight
rates.
A reduction effective here earlier
than the middle of the month, 1t is
pointed out, would have precluded
certain dealers from realizing a suf-
ficient price on coal which they hac
lately purchased at winter prices.
