XMAS BASKETS Elks Will ’Again Distribute Them to the Deserving Poor IS A GOOD IDEA Committee Appointed to Buy the Goods and Distribute Same Many people of Decatur will remember with glad hearts the kindness of the Elks lodge last Christ- • mas, when they distributed dinners [tu about one hundred and twenty-five I families and others will note with I pleasure the fact that the same thing I will be done this year, that is baskets will be distributed to the deserving poor and each basket will contain a chicken, potatoes, a can of corn, celery, cranberries, bananas, bread and butter, cake and candy for the “kids.” If you know of any poor persons who you believe entitled to these baskets you should send in the names and they will be made happy if a good Christmas dinner will do it. At a recent meeting of the lodge a committee was appointed whose duties it will be to select the articles and purchase same in preparation for distribution, which will occur on the after noon before Christmas day. This committee includes David E. Smith, Nick Miller and C. O. France. The B. P. O. E. boys are nothing if not benevolent, and they have a reputation the country over for kind deeds. The Xmas dinner is a goed idea for on this day of all others every sjme should be happy and how, pray tell, can any one feel just real good on a-, empty stomach, and this is the evil that the boys will try to oven come. —o REAL ESTATE —If you want to buy or sell city or farm property see me and get rock bottom prices. I have a large list to select from. Office with Hooper & Lenhart. W. H. Myers, the old brick layer. 271-6 t o ■ .

DANDRUFF. An Easy Task to Cure It When You Know How. There are three kinds of dandruff cures: Good dandruff cures. Bad dandruff cures. And plain liquid junk. The first is good to put on the head; the second is good to keep off the head; third is good to flush out the sewer. The owners of good dandruff cures say our remedy will cure you in two weeks or money back. The owners of bad dandruff cures guarantee nothing, but spend their money howling fake at the good dandruff cures, whicn policy they consider is a clever method of enticing the sheckels from the unwary. Parisian Sage is a good dandruff cure. It is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug .Co. to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks or money back. It kills the dandruff microbes, it promotes a new growth of hair, it makes hair soft and luxuriant, and it without doubt the most pleasant, and invigorating hair dressing made today. To every reader of the Democrat, both man and woman, we want to say these few words: If you have tried other dandruff cures, hair restorers, and have failed to receive any benefit from them, don’t give up hope, try Parisian Sage at our risk. Holthouse Drug Co. will sell you a large bottle fcr 50 cents with a money back guarantee if it does not do as advertised. Orders sfiipped by express, all charges prepaid, at regular price, by Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y. o— When Rubbers Become Necessary and your shoes pinch, Alien’s FootEase, a powder to be shaken into the shoes, is just the thing to use. Try it for Breaking in New Shoes. Sold everywhere, 25c. Sample Free. Address, Allen S. Olmsted. Leßoy, N. Y. Don’t accept any substitute. o A PERSONAL APPEAL. If we could talk to you personally about the great merit of Foley’s Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds and lung trouble, you never could be induced to experiment with unknown preparations that may contain some harmful drugs. Foley’s Honey and Tar costs you no more and has of forty years cf cures. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o Democrat Want Ads. Pav
