Over at Warsaw, the good old Methodist deacons whose only thought is for the salvation of souls, are making a vigorous protest against the return of Rev. Sherman Powell, for two years l the local pastor there. He has been guilty of conduct unbecoming a preacher. The charge has been made and we guess it can be proven, that Rev. Powell actually had the brazen effrontery to openly and maliciously champion the election •of Governor Marshall last fall. Think what those pious deacons must have suffered while their pastor groveled at the foot of Democracy. While Rev. Powell may have committed an unpardonable offense against the dignitaries of the North Indiana conference, foi not working for a Republican instead of a Democrat, yet we would not give much for the chances of those protesting deacons in ever wearing a crown any larger than a dried up peanut.

WILL REDUCE DEBT (Continued from page 1.) perity provided for on American soil. The spirit of progressiveness should always be shown signally and first of all in the smallest government to which the support of each individual is pledged, and that is the corporation i in which he lives. There are various ways in which the citizens can ma- ' terially aid in advancing the interests of Decatur. Those who are sensitive to their duties need not be urged, they need not be told what to do. However meager may be the circumstances of a man he cannot shift his responsibility and simultaneously deserve the title ‘citizen," Marvelous things can be accomplished by the united efforts of Decatur's six thousand (probably a little less) people. Let's try. VISIFoRPHANAGE Miss Bessie Boyers Has Interesting Talk to Deliver WAS ON VISIT To Cunningham, Illinois— Gratitude is Expressed The Queen /Esther band of the Methodist church will be greatly benefitted by a talk by Miss Bessie Boyers tomorrow afternoon, who visited the orphanage at Cunningham, 111. The league here have sent boxes to the girls at that institution. Last Chrismas a barrel of clothing was -

sent here. One of the most import- j ant duties that the girls and boys in the leagues are doing is the relieving of the poor. They aid in keeping up the institutions for the old people and orphans, and those without a home. They have accomplished much good in other ways. Bessie was not sent as a delegate i to visit the orphanage. She decided to visit her grandparents at Urbana, 111. The orphanage was near, and she visited there. ‘Soon after the clothing and other necessities reached the Cunningham orphanage a letter was received announcing the fact that the box had been received, with expressions of gratitude. The League and Queen Esthers are anxious to hear Bessie’s description of the place. The building is a large one, and furnishes a home for about fifty girls. In such benefits to humanity both the Queen Esthers and Epworth League are alike. The Queen Esthers as well as the League aid these institutions and each educates an orphan. The members are all workers for good. ■ o~ Mr. F. G. Fritts, Oneonta, N. Y., writes: “My little girl was greatly benefitted by taking Foley’s Ofrino Laxative, and I think it is the best remedy for constipation and liver trouble.” Foley’s Orino Laxative is best for women and children, as it is mild, pleasant and effective, and is a splendid medicine, as it cleanses the system and clears the complexion.

We are so positive that we can cure constipation, no matter how chronic it may be that we offer to furnish the medicine free of all cost if we fail. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate and weaken the bowels and make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous and often fatal. Constipation is caused by weakness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect a cure you must therefore tone up and strengthen those organs and restore them to healthier activity. The discovery of the active principle of our remedy evolved the labor of the world's greatest research chemists. It possesses all the best qualities of the remedial active principle of the best known intestinal tonics, and it is particularly prompt in its results. We want you to try Rexall Orderlies on our guarantee. They are exceeding pleasant to take and ar£ ideal for children. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They have a neutral action on other organs or glands. They do not purge or cause any inconvenience whatever. They will positively cure chronic or habitual constipation and the myriads of associate or dependent chronic ailments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our risk.

The Holy City. Medina, the holy city, triumphed long ago over all the rivals in various parts of the world which bore the same name, which means simply “city.” Notable among them were the old cap ital of Malta and Medina Sldonia tn Spain. The Arabian city was originally known as Yathrib. but owes its later name. El-Medina (the city) or Medinat Rasul Allah (the city of the apostle of God), to the Koran. To a good Mohammedan there is only one city “with a big C.” Inside and Outside. The following report was sent by a subordinate inspector to his chief in the telephone service. It concerned a faulty bouse connection: “Fouad wire with no ontside outside. Put Inside wire outside and outside inside. Need more outside for inside." Learning.

The parents and innumerable friends are sorely bereaved as a consequence of the untimely demise. The funeral services will be held from the Pleasant Dale church in Kirkland township Sunday.

CURES INDIGESTION. All Distress from Stomach and Indigestion Vanishes in Five Minutes. Take your sour stomach —or maybe you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn’t matter —take your stomach trouble right with yo uto your pharmacist and ask him to open a 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your stomach misery. The correct name for your trouble is Food Fermentation —food souring; the digestive organs become weak, there is lack of pastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nervouness, dizziness and many other similar symptoms. If your appetite is fickle, and nothing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel boated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one cause —rermentatlon of undigested food. Prove to yourself, after your next meal, that your stomach is as good as any; that there is nothing really wrong. Stop this fermentation and begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. Almost instant relief is waiting for you. It is merely a matter of how soon you take a little Diapepsin. o HOW TO CURE SKIN DISEASES.

The germs and their poisons which cause the disease must be drawn to the surface of the skin and destroyed. Zemo, a scientific preparation for external use, will do this and will positively cure Eczema, Pimples, Dandruff and evAry form of skin or scalp disease. Write for sample, E. W.

A Continual Stream of Evidence Flowin from Every Direction —Saturday the Last Day of the Root Juice Demonstration. If one can judge by the continual stream of evidence that is flowing in from every direction, the Root Juice demonstration at Holthouse drug store, has proved a great blessing to scores of people of Decatur and surrounding country. Many- that have suffered a long time with some trouble of the stomach, bowels, liver, kidneys or nerves, are now claiming entire freedom from all aches and pains. Among the many recent callers at the Holthouse drug store, to tell of wonderful good received from a short use of Root Juice was Al Davis. He told the reporter that Root Juice had almost performed a miracle in his caee: "I before using the remedy, was weak and nervous. My appetite was poor and digestion was so bad that ’the lightest foods would sour on my stomach, causing a formation of gas that would press against my heart and almost cause it to stop beating at times, but after taking the juice a short while, my appetite is good, my nerves are settled, and I digest everything I eat without a single disagreeable symptom.” So many local people are praising the great remedy that its rapid sales at Holthouse drug store is no longer a surprise. We are told that the demonstration at this point, closes Saturday night. Until then the Root Juice is sold for $1 a bottle or three for $2.50. • ■ ■ ■ — —o NOTICE TO ICE CONSUMERS—Owing to the scarcity of ice and the necessity of shipping in the supply for Decatur, all ice tickets must be paid for in advance. This change in the method of doing business has been necessitated by the fact that all ice must be paid for in cash upon its receipt in this city. William Mersman, H. L. Conter. ts
