It Is here Andre Bray was tha first white child; where Noel LoVasseur was the first permanent while settler. Not right In Kankakoe, for then there was no Kankakcc, but In Bourban- nals. And but for ono mls-Btcp of Bourbonnals there might never have been a Kankakeo. When tho Illinois Central wished to build Its lino through the little French neltlement oC Bourbonnals those wilderness men demurred, Trains would frighten their horses. Smoko would begrime their wives' white linens.

So the rails crossed the river two or thrco miles nway. Today Kankakeo lias 19,000 inhabitants. Bourbonnais, well, perhaps 4BO excluding tho 410 students at St. Viator's. And among tho Bourbonnals' people today there are twenty-one priests attached to the school.

In the old, dim days the Kankakee river was a highway for canoes and along Its shores were Indian trails. It was a highway because It led to the low portago connecting with the St. Joseph river and was also a main trail to the Detroit country and the eastern Great Lakes. Railroad Man's Heart Beat Makes Bed Shake Charles Green, a railroad man, was troubled ior years with gas fermen- tatlon of food and was dizzy and bloated. His heart beat so laborously that his bed seemed to shake.

Finally ho tried tho mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc. (known as Ad- lerika) and this helped him. Many people keep OUTSIDE body clean but let their INSIDE body stay full of aa and poisons. Give the Inside a REAL cleansing with the mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, as sold under the name of Adlerika. This acts on BOTH upper 1 and lower bowel, eliminates metabolic poisons and removes old matter which you never thollght was In system, and, which caused sour stomach, nervousness, sleeplessness, headache, etc.

Whenever you eat too much heavy food, let Adlerika, REMOVE the undigested surplus and leave you feel- rinii. ONE Hf.uonful relieves GAS takes away that full, bloated iellng. Even if your bowels move avery day. Adlerika brings out much additional matter which might oause trouble. Don't waste time with pills or tablets but let Adlerika give your stomach and bowels QUICK relief.

What Doctors Say Dr. G. Eggers reports Adlerika Is the best medicine he has used In 37 years. Dr. W.

H. Bernhart writes he could not get along In his practice without Adlerika. Dr. J. J.

Weaver, a doctor for BO years, says he knows no medicine better than Adlerika. Dr. L. Langlols prescribes Adlerika regular with GOOD effect. J.

E. Puckett writes: "After using Adlerika I feel better than for '0 years. AWFUL impurities were eliminated from my system." Adlerika is big surprise to people who have used only ordinary bowe! and stomach medicines- because ot its REAL and quick action. Sold by leading druggists everywhere. When tho Kngllsh were "buying linlr, paying for tho scalps of western colonial seniors, tho bundles of lilnndc locks were passed up tho river hrro nloiiB with furs.

When Black- Hawk and olher trouble-makers, on their way to the British for their animal pay-offs, hit tho trail to tho eastern lakes, they threaded their way through here. it camo about that the French Miniidlans. always friendly with tho Indians, trading with them, marrying among them, followed tho thin trail to the southwest. Burt E. Burroughs was one of tho party that showed me around and ho gave me one of his books, "Legends and Talcs of Homeland on tho It tinkles of color, tells of that famous spruce-fir gum brew, "connate- scz-vous 1'cpinetto," of Adolo Odette, who was such a glorious dancer, of Arrotto Baltazo, and I'lorro Bouvaln, who would have been demon Charleston stepper today.because then they "won th's mos' bos' dancers in tli' worl'." And It tells of Watch-e-Kee, handsome and heroic Indian girl, who was so much respected and so true that when ono white husband was done with her ho gave her to somo while friend for a wlfo until she had been tho true and trusted wife of three.

Romance of tho primitive days. Kankakeo today, business romance now. Yes, you nnd some sturdy things today In Kankakee. Take for example the plant of the Kroehler Mfg. Co.

It makes davenports and overstuffed furniture; works 1100 people. They say it is Hie largest plant of Its kind In the world. Additions within the year have cost $100,000. Hero is remarkable fact about the plant which covers five square city blocks. As you drive around it you see straight lines up iho great walls ot bricks.

Each line marks the beginning of an addition. There are six these groat additions. It has grown. Then there Is the E-Z-AVay stove works. It Is another great plant that has grown twenty per cent in output in a year.

Tho Bear Brand Hosiery Co. employs 940 people, an increase In personnel of 10 per cent in a year. The Turk Mfg. Co. makes iron beds and is growing fast.

The Manco Corporation, sash weights for windows, by a special process which does away with tho old sand mold The David Bradly farm implements, ships all over the world and maintains a selling representative In South Africa. When women discovered that they legs were a thing of beauty and bo- Kan displaying them joyously to the world, a pleasing and recent evolution, a now Industry was born in Kan- kakec. A monument to ladles' legs. Wise men who saw opportunity In Indies' legs invented and patented a. metal "sh.iper" which gives that exact, exquisite and required form to silk hose.

Thej; are said to control tho world's visible supply of these shapers. leasing: them, and and I all who invest in Indies silk hose, are penalized thereby. The shapes nrc not sold but leased to hosiery makers. This far- I seeing organization, making things (lint look Ilkn legs, Is tho Paramount Textile Machinery Co. From ladies' legs- we will turn to ball.

Kankakeo has long been known, far and wide, as tho home of the Stntc Hrtspltol for tho Insane. Buwbnll and Insanity, It seems, have something In common. This becnusn the average number of patlen(s, during the onon-baseball season, Is 3,800. When the baseball season opens, 1 was told, aptlcnts begin to come In. When bnscbnll Is at its height there will be, probably, 4,200 In tho hospital, had heard of peopln "going crazy nboiit base ball," but this is tho first tangible proof of it that has come to me.

CSelting back to Kankakco's Industries. It seems that the Industries that have come hero mostly have grown swiftly. It seems to bo a place for industries. Why? The matter of tho Kankakee Belt Route is pointed out. It runs in an arc from South Bend, through Momenco, Kanknkee, Dwight, Strent- or and Dupuo to 111.

The Knnkakco Belt Route takes freight around Chicago, touching all railroads, saving days and delays. Because it connect all roads out of Chicago cast and all roads out of Chicago without the through- Chicago haul, it is doing avvaftt business. All train crewa on the road work out of Kankakee and every car of freight that passes through is reported to consignor and consignee, It desired, when It passes. The belt linn Is owned by the New York Central Lines. Kankakee Is B4 miles south of Chicago by rail; 67 miles by concrete road.

Fast trains make Chicago, downtown, easily In an hour and a half. Kankakee in the summer appears to be In a vast park. The Kan- kakeo river Is a swift stream, filled with bass. There Is out- of-doors here and that brings us Would you care to buy a fine Queen Anne style martin house? You can get ono for $78. Or In Co- style, copper rooft'd, for $85.

JOSEIJ)) H. Dodniin, president, American AudU.cii has chosen the shore of the beautiful Kanka- keo river for his home. 'He calls It Bird Lodge. Mr. Dodson is first friend of all the birds of the earth.

He has incorporated hlm- fielf and Joseph H. Dodson, has a worldwide business in all manner of things that have to do with birds. He sells, by mail, binoculars, colored birds, literature, feeding stations. I missed him for he is now in Miami, where the birds are.

Governor Len Small lives In Kankakee. He spends every week end here, coming from Springfield. He owns one of the three banks and one of the two daily newspapers. Combined deposits of three banks is $12,000,000. Governor Sma.ll IB one of Kankakee's doughty business men.
