TIME TO ADVERTISE Decatur merchants seem to be sleeping, while their competitors in the larger cities are gathering in the sheckels which rightfully belong to them. For this they should blame themselves. Few merchants have such an opportunity to reach the trade as those of Decatur. The DailyDemocrat is read by ten thousand people each day and we can prove it. All a merchant has to do is to announce his goods in such away as to draw attention to the facts. Its time for you to wake up. Your goods won’t sell if you hide them in the cellar. Neither will they sell if you don't tell the people what you have. It is no experiment. Every successful merchant, the world over has admitted that he owes his success to advertising. There never was a time in the history of your store when you needed advertising worse than you need it today. We have the space to sell and if you are as wideawake as you would have yourself believe, you will start a campaign that will startle the natives and make us put on an extra force to take care of you.

It L shows in a clever way many charac- . ters whom any one will recognize; , the small boy whose love of the game leads him to climb the fence; the 33rd degree “fans,” who occupy honorary positiofis on the broken chair and the soap box in the field; the nosy fellows in the grandstand. They are • all there —the “Wellwell’’ man; the I “Hit 'er out” man; the “Kill the umpire” man. You will see some one you know in the picture. In the pose of the batsman and the tense attitude of the catcher, the picture reveals that the game is at a critical stage: the score is presumably a tie; two out, a man on third, and with two strikes and three balls on the batsman. The batsman, all set to swing at the ball, might be the double of . the immortal “Casey.” The picture was drawn for Hart Schaffner & Marx, and is one of the best things that Mr. Samuel Nelson Abbott, a New York artist has done.

FAYLOR ASSIGNES Thomas Faylor Assignes Interest to Large Leather Firm IN PENDING ACTION Once Wealthy, He is Now Said to Be a Bankrupt In connection with the FaylorStudabaker case on trial in this city a paper of interest has just been ' filed in the Wells circuit court. It is an assignment by Thomas Faylor, of Pennsylvania, of all interest he may have in the Faylor estate here to an eastern leather firm. Mr. Faylor was wealthy a few years ago and at that time was cgie of the heirs who pushed the fight to set aside the deed to the 100 acre farm which was deeded by Catherine Faylor to D. D. Studabaker. Since the case was first institutedalmost ten years ago, Thomas Faylor has failed in business in the east and is now a bankrupt. He assigns any interest that may accrue to him from the estate here to his creditors. Mr. Faylor was one of the prime movers in the suit which has been instituted against Studabaker. The case is one of the most famous that has ever been tried in the county, in that it has now come up for trial the fourth time. The costs of the trials thus far has aggregated in the thousands of dollars. 0 Miss Jane Mercer has gone to Huntertown for a visit The students at the various colleges will |rrive home soon, and spend their vacation months at home.

Y. o INSTANT RELIEF FROM DREAD CATARRH. Why don’t you get rid of that nasty, humiliating disease catarrh? You can do it if you really want to. But you can't cure catarrh in a few days that’s an utter impossibility, because there is no remedy known that will kill the catarrh germs in that short time. But you can cure catarrh if you will have a little patience and breathe in Hyomei (pronounced High o-ins) three or four times a day. Hyomei cures catarrh by killing the germs and it kills the germs because it gets where the germs are. Hyomei is a powerful antiseptic and ger kmiller air: it is made from the fluid extracted from the eucalyptus trees of inland Australia where cahas never existed. It gives relief instantly, stops hawking in a few days and is guaranteed to cure catarrh, asthma, croup and bronchitis or money back. A complete outfit, including inhaler costs SI.OO, and extra bottles of Hyomei If ifterward needed, cost but 50 cents. Sold by leading druggist everywhere. "Hyomei certainly saved my life and I accord it the credit which it deserves and merits. There is nothing too strong for me to say regarding Hyomei.”—Mrs. Ada Hopktns, 8 Cutter Ave., Coldwater, Mich., August 22, 1908.

AFTER THE GRIPPE Vinol Restored This Man’s Strength “Several years ago I was attacked CT a severe case of grippe, which left ms with a hacking cough, soreness in try cheat, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on ths market, besides medicine given me oy Physicians. I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me to try Vinol, and after taking three bottles I w4 * entirely cured. I believe Vinol to be the greatest blessing ever offered to the public, at it does what Is claimed for it." R 2 Hicks, Maplesville. Ala. The reason Vinol cures chronls coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles is because it contains tonic iron and all th* healing and body building elements of cod liver oil but no oil. Vinol Is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, sad after Morneau.
