Editor Times-I would like to say
few words regarding the defunct
State Savings and Trust Company,
closed nearly two years. OF course,
I realize I am only one of many
who lost their savings in this crash.
Some one was to blame for this and
it should be investigated to the bot
tom and some one should have to
pay the depositors every cent they
lest.
Where were the state bank ex-
aminers? Must have had nice
nap to let an institution of this kind
continue taking the peoples money
when they were just throwing it
away; and now all this time and
not cent has been returned to
the people.
1t seems to me that something
could be done yet about this out
rage. Some one should be left
holding the bag besides the depos-
itors. Let's get together and do
something. Let's hear from some
one else. PAUL KELLEY.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Certainly the dogs
of indianapolis have had their share
of suffering this summer. The heat
for human beings has been well
nigh intolerable, but to the poor dog
cooped up in hot shed or a still
more stuffy room, it must have been
torture indeed.
A dog needs fun and recreation
as we'll as a person, and to keep in
good physical and mental health he
should have at least two hours of
exercise a day.
In the good old days when Rover
trotted all the way to town under
his masters wagon, when he could
bathe in the brook, or lie down on
the soft, cool grass under a shady
tree, there was nothing heard Of
rabies. In fact, it was so rare that
lots of people didn't believe there
was such a thing.
The cooping-up treatment has
been tried without success. Why
not get the dog back, close to ma
ture, where he belongs?
I love dogs better than anything
in the world, but wouldn't have
one in indianapolis as conditions
are now. I would have too much
consideration for the dog.

Baby M. weighed seven pounds at birth. His mother, who was only twenty years old, needed consider able help. The Visiting Nurse car ried her through her prenatal period, gave her post-partum care at home and was able to get a good start for the baby. After her week ly foilOW-up visits were over the mother grew careless, but with fre- quent visits the nurse was able to help the mother to get the baby on regular ; habits. Needless to say, when the second child was born we had no trouble like the above men, tioned.

Windsor, May 8.-How certain slight amount of one ingredient in the Connecticut tobacco leaf makes it burn in the way the modern smoker expects of a good cigar, Is described in the 1880 report of the tobacco substation of the Connecti- cut Agricultural Experiment station. The bulletin, No. 326, is just off the press.
 This necessary constituent is magnesia, one of the chemical e1e- ments. Dr P. J. Anderson, in charge of the substation, and his collabor- ators, T. R. Swanback and o. F.. Street, found that two. per cent of it in the tobacco leaf produces the white ash and close burn that the public has come to demand in cigars. Tests showed that one per cent of magnesia did not give a satisfac- tory ash, that 1.5 per cent did not produce consistent results, and that 3.5 per cent made the ash too flaky. Tobacco grown without magnesia in the fertilizer burned with & coal black ash.
 Recommend Magncsia Application
 Tobacco growers whose produce does not burn satisfactorily are ad- NlScu WitH TeSdTu tO IIidS SIitSid. :. with our preesnt incomplete knowledge, probably the best rec ommendation that can be made to the grower .. is that he apply 75 to 100 pounds of magnesium. If this does not produce a satisfactory burn, the dose may be repeated or i'm creased the next year. The inclusion of such large quantities of magnesia in all fertilizer mixtures are in fact their general use. is not to be rec commended, except where a winter ash and closer burn are desired"
 Cottonseed, fish, and linseed meals; castor pomace; sulfate of potash magnesia, and cotton hull ashes all may supply magnesia to the tobacco plant, and manure contains small amounts of the element.
 Acquire New Land
