tablets are on-narcotic, but they
Danish every bit Of pain. They act
directly on the organs, affected and
they take effect in five to seven

anticipates her time and takes tiny
tablet of Midol beforehand will eX-
perience no pain at all.

recorded in other market fav.

Woolworth was again the best
ground gamer for the specialties,
moving ahead about 3 points to

Sears Roebuck accompanied this
advance, with a 2-point rise to

Marmaduke M. c. Stops, repre-
sentative in the state legislature for
Knox and Pike counties, has a COL
lection of nearly 600 badges, pen
nants and other mementoeS OF
political campaigns and conventions
of various kinds, in addition to old
books and documents. He was the
editor of the Democrat here for
thirty-three years, and only recently
retired from the newspaper field.
The collection includes five silk
badges of the campaigns in 1910 and
1914, respectively, of Henry Clay
and General William Henry Harrl-
son.
The last badge collected was one
used at the Salvation Army con-
vention held in Chicago last year.
Books collected by Stops bears
dates as far back as 100. Among
them is a history of the United
States published in 1918, in which a
page and one-half is devoted to In
diana, which then consisted of four
counties with a population of 24,520.
According to the book, Indiana is

that one will be, for, except for the

an honorable discharge and sent

"They have put forth little or no et-
