THE SOCIAL NOTES (Continued fnrai page 2.) The luncheon was served in the dining room, which was especially beautiful in its decorations. The light from the chandeliers was softened by rosy red shades, vases of carnations were used in profusion, and the centerpiece of the table was a glowing mass of dark red carnations, with many candles of red. On each snowy napkin lay a deep red earnation as favors, and the delicious luncheon further carried out the valentine suggestion, from the following menu: Hear-shaped sandwiches, heart-shaped beet pickles, olives, coffee, brick ice cream in club colors, littl heart-shaped, daintily frosted cakes and heart candy. Mrs. Arthur Ford and babe of Muncie and Mrs. D. M. Hower were guests at dinner today at the home of Mrs. John Meyers. The Philathea society will meet Thursday evening with Miss Flora Fledderjohann. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Reppert will celebrate their twelfth wedding anniversary next Sunday with a dinner party, guests being about twelve of their friends. Mrs. L. E. Steele will entertain a number of friends at "Five Hundred" Friday evening. SEVERAL STITCHES NECESSARY. Jacob Eady is recovering from a severe injury received to his left hand last Thursday while working at the Decatur Filler factory. In some way his hand came in contact with the machinery and his left hand, between the thumb and first finger was cut back a distance of several inches, and nearly in to the bone. The doctor found it necessary to take several stitches in closing the wound. WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE ECZEMA. Scientists are now agreed that the eozema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penerating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores. We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Prescription. A trial bottle of the D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend it to our patrons. Smith, Yager & Falk.
