Been Filed with Clerk of
Circuit Court.

at the September term of the cir
cult court by a larger class of
candidates than ever before in the
history OF the county.
At present 1873 petitions for sec
ond papers are in the hands of
Circuit Clerk G. w. Gamble. The
former average was around so and
80, seldom reaching the 100 mark.
Out OF 81 German and Austrian
applicants. about one-half will be
able to complete the necessary
governmental preliminaries in time
to be examined at the next term
of court Not until after the peace
treaty is signed will the 90-day
preliminary notice be waived.
The income tax of 10 per cent

the large class. During the spring
there was a rush of fcreign-born
residents to the office of the clerk

nounce allegiance to the land of
their birth.

The body of Horace Mauch, II
years old, was recovered from the
Mississippi river last night, one

the river.
He disrobed before the other lads
and took a rowboat, rowing out
near the middle of the river. he
dove from the boat and as he did
so, pushed the boat down stream.
When he came to the surface, the
boat was quite a distance from
him. He started for it but was
siezed with cramps. He came TO
the surface four times while those
on shore made frantic efforts to
reach him and give him aid.
1t was useless, however, and the
swimmers then took up a search
for the body. He was drowned at
8 O'Clock and at $50 one of the
divers succeeded in bringing his
body to the surface.

PROBABLY no existing in

DROBABLY no existing in
dustry serves such a useful
purpose in SO many ways
as the automobile industry,
and certainly no industry has
had such a meteoric increase
in proportions.
Such an increase would have
been impossible of accomplish
ment if a market for moderate
priced cars had not been found
and without the Standard Oil
Company ( Indiana) it would
have been impossible to find
this market.
When only the rich could af-
ford an automobile the Stand
ard Oil Company Indiana)
had the vision of most every
one driving his own machine.
The Company set out, not to find a
way to make gasoline prices higher,
but to keep them low in the face of
the enormous demands made by the
automobiles, which In the average
industry would have caused abnor-
NAL increases in price.
The efficiency of the Standard Oil
Company in making a constantly
increasing number Of by-products
has kept down the price of gasoline
and enabled the man of modest
means to run an automobile after
he got it.
The Standard Oil Company not
only makes gasoline to sell at low
price, but to fit the requirements
of the modern automobile engine
In such a manner as to enable
the owner to get out Of his car all
that the manufacturer designed it
to produce.
This is a salient example of the
usefulness of the Standard Oil Com
pany not only in contributing to the
success of other industries, but in
discharging its obligation as a public
servant so that all may benefit from
Its efficiency and by its operations.

Angelina was, of all my acquaint- ances, the most vain. Happiness for her seemed an impossibility unless she was the center of attention.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While II
Your Bladder Is Troubling You

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which overworls the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
glsh and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have baekache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment
channels often get Sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult good reliable ply
sIcian at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces OF Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
OF water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
Tine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
