The peculiar cough which indicates
croup, is usually well known to the
mothers of croupy children. No time
should be lost in the treatment of it,
and for this purpose no medicine hae
received more uniyersal approval than
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Do not
waste valuable time in experimenting
with untried remedies, no matter how
highly they may be recommended, but
give this medicine as directed and all
symptoms of croup will quickly dis-
appear. For sale by E. H. Miller. 2-1
Melissa, a daughter of Demetrius
Compton, of Elk Lick township, died
very suddenly, last Thursday, after an
illness of several years’ duration. She
was in her 25th year. The funeral was
held at the St. Paul's Reformed church
on Saturnay, Rev. E. 8S. Hassler offici-
ating. Miss Compton was a most
excellent young woman and was highly
esteemed by all who knew her. She
used to be one of Elk Lick township’s
brightest teachers, and her untimely
death is greatly regretted.
Mrs. Johanna Sederholm, of Fergus
Falls, Minn, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but it
was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her a bottle
of it, which he did. It guickly relieved
her and enabled her to steep, which she
had not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the relief
it gave his mother that be bas since

Indiana’s Tall Men.
According lo reli.ble stalistic: tlie
state of Indiana produces the tallest
men in the world. This curious fact
comes out in the record made in the
war department during the War of the
Rebellion. By carefully prepared sta-
tistics it is shown that out of 114,254
soldiers supplied by Indiana, 15,047
were b feet 10 inches tall, 8,078 were 5
feet 11, 6,679 were 6 feet, 2,614 were 6
feet 1, 1,357 were 6 feet 2, 406 were 6
feet 3 and 330 were above this gigantic
stature. Dr. Gould, actuary of the
United S:ates sanitary commission,
commeniing recently on these unique
statistics, said:
“It is evident from our statistics that
the Indiana men are the tallest of the
natives of the United States, and these
latter the tallast of ail civilized
countries.” These figures seem to re-
fute the oft-repeated statement that in
the standing armies of one or two
European countries the average height
of its men, exceed that of any other
country in the world.—Chicago Tribune.
